Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1016: Chapter 1016: I’m Looking for You, There’s a Matter! The entire Affairs Department was seething with excitement!

From one office to another, cries of astonishment rose and receded in waves.

”What!” ”How is this possible!” ”Incredible!” ”Oh my God!”

Accompanying the exclamations were the sounds of desk slapping, teacups shattering on the floor, and an assortment of other strange noises.

It was electrifying, utterly electrifying!

The notice of Bai Xiaosheng’s candidacy for the position of Senior Affairs Officer had only been issued for less than a second, and before most people had even made it out, it was covered by the announcement of his formal appointment as a Senior Affairs Officer.

Was this a promotion in one second—

In a heartbeat?!

”This is... a record-breaking event!” a young Affairs Officer said, his voice quivering.

His eyes were sparkling with an odd brilliance, seemingly in fervent admiration!

Bai Xiaosheng!

These three words were as if imbued with magic.

In just half an hour, they swept through every corner of the Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region Headquarters!

The Affairs Officers were almost running to spread the news.

In the offices, down the corridors, in every nook and cranny, there was heated discussion about the event, about Bai Xiaosheng!

Within a single day, from candidate in the morning to official by afternoon!

Who else could claim such a feat!

One year and three months, from Affairs Officer straight to Senior Affairs Officer, who else could do that!

Even since the founding of the Affairs Department, this was an unprecedented event!

When Shen Peishen received this news, he was continuing the morning’s conversation with Lin Yu.

After Lin Yu had been cheered up by his teacher, his whole spirit had revived, and his confidence returned.

In the afternoon, Lin Yu came running back to discuss his ambitions for the next five years with his teacher.

”This time, he got the Candidate Great Affairs Officer, but in the next five-year selection, I will stop at nothing to snatch it back! I will prove that I am the first to become a Great Senior Affairs Officer!” Lin Yu repeated his morning’s assertion, his eyes overflowing with a fighting spirit.

Shen Peishen saw a glimmer of ambition flashing in his student’s eyes.

He was very pleased.

Perhaps it was just a budding seed, but once rooted, given time, Lin Yu would transform into what he hoped for.

Shen Peishen naturally encouraged and praised him, nurturing with great care.

Then they heard the news.

Bai Xiaosheng had become a Senior Affairs Officer.

An official, bona fide Senior Affairs Officer.

Senior Affairs Officer!

Shen Peishen was momentarily stunned.

Lin Yu suddenly rose to his feet, his eyes bulging wider than they ever had before, as if they might pop out, frightening the assistant who had come to relay the news.

”Bai Xiaosheng, he’s become a formal Senior Affairs Officer!” Lin Yu said with a somewhat fierce expression.

Disbelief, confusion, anger, resentment.

A mix of emotions made him look incredibly fearsome.

”Fang Beijun got promoted at such a time!” Shen Peishen’s expression turned frosty, followed by a long, narrow sigh.

Time and fate.

It’s all destiny!

His own beloved student had just made a bold declaration of intent when the news broke from the other camp—a birth (promotion)!

Lin Yu slumped back onto the sofa in complete desolation...

Shen Peishen, observing this, waved the assistant away, feeling quite helpless inside.

He pondered how to encourage Lin Yu once again, sensing a long and arduous journey ahead...

At this moment, in Bai Xiaosheng’s office.

”Xiaosheng, you were amazing this time, a Senior Affairs Officer!” Lin Weiwei exclaimed in surprise and adoration, at a loss for what more to say.

Even Lei Ying, usually so composed, couldn’t stop smiling.

Bai Xiaosheng had just returned when they received the news, and naturally, they were thrilled and excited.

In contrast, Bai Xiaosheng was much more composed.

This composure impressed Lei Ying so much that she gave him a mental thumbs-up.

Of course, she didn’t know that Bai Xiaosheng had found out earlier and almost jumped for joy.

”I’ll treat you all to a meal later to celebrate,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

Then he slapped his forehead, ”Shoot, I rushed back from the duty room and forgot to tell Zheng Honghu... Never mind, I’ll look for him later.”

”Now, I need to hurry and meet Elder Xia!” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

There were still things to be done!

”Do you need us to come with you?” Lin Weiwei asked.
