Chapter 1462: Chapter 1288 Veteran Figure_2

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but look at himself.

His suit was neatly pressed, but it seemed quite out of place.

However, the couple who invited him were also in formal attire, and even those observing from a distance were sharply dressed in suits.

Bai Xiaosheng understood. It wasn’t that they hadn’t informed him, but rather due to different statuses, when meeting the vice chairmen, one should be dressed like this.

As for the leaders, they have absolute freedom in their attire, dressing as they please.

When Bai Xiaosheng approached, the two vice chairmen noticed him and stood straight to look his way.

They were both elderly, around seventy or eighty years old, yet they looked incredibly energetic.

One was slightly overweight; the other was somewhat lean.

The slightly overweight one had kind brows and benevolent eyes, smiling warmly, making him easily approachable.

The lean one had eyes like an eagle, calm in demeanor, emotions restrained, and seeming less approachable.

Bai Xiaosheng had met many significant figures.

Those big figures could display great poise in their speech and actions, commanding awe and making people unconsciously bow before them.

But these two elderly men simply appeared as regular elderly guys, “plain and ordinary.”

However, dressed in casual attire and wearing baseball caps, they gave off a somewhat fashionable impression.

If encountered on the street, in buses or subways, ordinary people would never think of them as having any extraordinary qualities.

Yet, Bai Xiaosheng noticed that when the two elderly men looked his way, their eyes were deep and unfathomable!

This was something Bai Xiaosheng, who had studied microexpressions, could perceive.

For others, they might only feel that these two elderly men’s eyes were exceptionally bright.

On the way here, Bai Xiaosheng asked about the elder’s names, as one should know their titles when meeting them.

The male and female secretaries informed Bai Xiaosheng.

The slightly overweight elder was named Lu Cheng’an.

The lean elder was named Li Yunyuan.

“Hello, Elder Lu.”

“Hello, Elder Li.”

With a respectful smile, Bai Xiaosheng greeted the two significant figures, demonstrating a balanced demeanor.

Bai Xiaosheng, destined to become the master of Zhenbei Group, naturally should not appear overly sycophantic.

Of course, given his current status, he should still show a friendly face where appropriate.

Even if you take a step back, these two elders truly contributed greatly, having fought for the establishment alongside his second uncle, and they certainly deserve his respect.

Now, seeing the two elders not in formal attire, Bai Xiaosheng opted not to use their professional titles, but instead addressed them as “Elder Lu” and “Elder Li” to create a sense of closeness.

“You are Bai Xiaosheng, right?” Lu Cheng’an leaned on a golf club and asked with a friendly voice.

Beside him, Li Yunyuan looked at Bai Xiaosheng without expression, scrutinizing him.

“Yes, I am Bai Xiaosheng.” Bai Xiaosheng nodded, smiling calmly.

“Good, good.” Lu Cheng’an examined Bai Xiaosheng, nodding with a smile, generously offering praise—

“Young and promising. We’ve reviewed your detailed records in the Greater China Region, impressive indeed. Three years ago, you were just a junior employee, yet you pushed through with your effort, advancing step by step. You’ve relied on actual strength and true achievements! Therefore, we three vice chairmen all believe you can certainly become the executive president of the Greater China Region!”

Three vice chairmen? Bai Xiaosheng was slightly surprised.

There were only two present at the moment.

“Another vice chairman was caught up with urgent matters and had to leave first. Only the two of us are here to meet you.” Li Yunyuan spoke up.

This elder remained serious throughout, but the tone of his voice was quite calm.

At least, he took the initiative to clarify Bai Xiaosheng’s doubts, indicating he was quite alright.

“Thank you, Elder Lu, Elder Li, and also the trust of the Group.” Bai Xiaosheng said sincerely, “I will prove myself on the executive president’s post, worthy of the position, and I will strive relentlessly to live up to the trust placed in me by the Group.”

Upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s words, Lu Cheng’an nodded with a smile.

“Such words, every promoted person has said, I’ve heard them for decades, they’re tedious. What we wish to see is your future practical actions.”

Li Yunyuan stared at Bai Xiaosheng, unapologetically saying, “Your position is already decided, the notice has been issued, so you certainly will become the executive president of the Greater China Region, even if it’s just for a day, you will hold this position! But remember, sitting in this position doesn’t mean you can relax, and with a record of incumbent executive presidents, scarce is those who have been ousted, so don’t feel fearless. Remember, every exception has its precedent, for the Group, while face is crucial, if the entrusted person is unfit, we will also change people!”

This statement from Li Yunyuan was somewhat a warning indeed.

Bai Xiaosheng understood that this elder was speaking from the standpoint of the Group’s interests, urging and guiding him, naturally he didn’t find any discomfort.

After all, since the Group would be his in the future, having such an elder who continuously cares for the Group only brings him joy.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded earnestly towards Li Yunyuan.

“Elder Li, why are you scolding Bai Xiaosheng now? Today we’re just meeting him, don’t be overly harsh.” Lu Cheng’an said with a smile.

Li Yunyuan snorted lightly, looking at Bai Xiaosheng, “Did I?”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, “Elder Li’s guidance and Elder Lu’s praise are for Sheng’s benefit, I shall remember them!”

“Becoming the executive president of the Greater China Region is merely my starting point, not the end where I stand still!” Bai Xiaosheng added.

This statement made Lu Cheng’an and Li Yunyuan exchange a look.

Li Yunyuan laughed, “Quite ambitious!”

“However, our Group’s founder Mr. Bai Zhenbei said, ‘Ambition is the driving force for a person’s effort!’ I like this phrase, I like ambitious men. I hope you do justice to your position, and genuinely contribute to the Group. When your contribution becomes significant enough to reach the vice chairman’s position, I’ll gladly give way for you to sit!”
