Chapter 1473: Chapter 1292: Arriving with the Imperial Sword

Han Richeng, the Senior Affairs Officer, showed an impressive knack for adapting to the situation, truly opening the eyes of everyone present.

Just a moment ago, he was sternly accusing Senior Affairs Officer Bai Xiaosheng, but in the next moment, he couldn’t wait to raise both hands to support Executive President Bai Xiaosheng.

Even changing faces isn’t this quick, and it’s done so calmly and with composure, without a trace of embarrassment. This is truly a skill!

Among those present, probably no one other than Han Richeng could do this!

Many people looked at Han Richeng, silently uttering the word “impressed” in their hearts.

Bai Xiaosheng’s appointment as the new Executive President of the Greater China Region came with orders from the headquarters and had become a foregone conclusion.

Combined with Xiahou Qi’s words, everyone, in their astonishment, also accepted this reality.

If they don’t accept it, what else can they do?

Follow Xiahou Qi’s words and protest to the headquarters?

On what grounds?

Saying our new Executive President is too young, and we disagree?

The headquarters of the group caring about them would be a strange thought!

If they did care, it would be to deal with them.

Defying superiors or bypassing superiors has always been a big taboo in the workplace.

These people are all savvy; they wouldn’t be that foolish.

Since the die is cast, and this young Bai Xiaosheng indeed has admirable qualities, everyone exchanged glances and then began to express their congratulations.

“Congratulations, Mr. Bai, on your promotion to Executive President of our Greater China Region!”

“We will certainly support Mr. Bai and assist in his future work!”

“To have someone as talented and promising as Mr. Bai as our leader is truly a blessing for the Greater China Region!”

These twenty or so senior executives of the Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region spoke up one after another. At least on the surface, they have all recognized Bai Xiaosheng’s leadership position.

Xiahou Qi looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a contented gaze, his eyes full of kindness.

Having known Bai Xiaosheng for three to four years, Xiahou Qi always regarded him as a grandson. Seeing him grow to this stage, much earlier than he had anticipated, become his successor, Xiahou Qi was genuinely happy for him.

Bai Xiaosheng sat at the head seat in front of everyone, his expression calm, with a faint smile on his face, openly accepting their congratulations.

Even he himself couldn’t help but sigh deeply in his heart.

Thinking back three or four years ago, he was just a small employee in a minor private company.

Today, he has become the Executive President of the Greater China Region of a world-class conglomerate – Zhenbei Group, overseeing hundreds of enterprises!

“This is merely a stepping stone on my journey to the ultimate position. Getting to this point has taken me nearly… four years. And in the next, I have over six years to challenge the position of Chairman of Zhenbei Group! To truly meet my uncle’s expectations and take over Zhenbei Group!”

Bai Xiaosheng clenched his fist silently, “And also, I need to enhance the profits of the Wei Family to buy back Xuelian’s freedom!”

“Can I do it?”

“I must do it! I can!”

When life has a goal and a direction to strive for, it is full of hope, and one can create miracles.

In Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, there was a gleam of vitality.

Those present, observing Bai Xiaosheng at this moment, so composed and poised, all nodded silently, feeling that this young Executive President was indeed worth looking forward to.

Of course, among those present, there were some who still harbored a bit of resistance.

Since Xiahou Qi’s era, they had their own small territories, which neither Xiahou Qi nor Shen Peishen could handle.

They were high officials within the Greater China Region, local barons. As long as they achieved the company’s desired performance each year, no one could say anything against them.

So they were extremely proud, and now, being placed under a young person, naturally, they were not sincerely convinced.

However, they also felt that this young person becoming the Executive President of the Greater China Region wasn’t necessarily a bad thing!

After all, he was even more incapable of handling them!

Those people tilted their heads, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with a half-smile, applauding half-heartedly, perfunctorily.

“Mr. Bai’s promotion to Executive President of the Greater China Region is a tremendous good thing, and we should celebrate it grandly, lively, don’t you all agree?” Han Richeng, already beaming, was eager to make arrangements.

In Han Richeng’s view, Bai Xiaosheng had achieved a meteoric rise. Even if he appeared composed and measured, his age and experience were there; at that age, there are certain mentalities.

Although Bai Xiaosheng looked calm and poised at the moment, he might be floating with excitement inside.

“At the very least, he is easier to handle than those old and cunning like Shen Peishen or Xiahou Qi. As long as I am diligent and have a good attitude, my position as the Senior Affairs Officer is secured!” Han Richeng calculated silently.

Once he mentioned it, someone immediately chuckled in agreement.

Faced with everyone’s enthusiasm, Bai Xiaosheng also smiled.

“Celebration is indeed necessary. However, there’s no rush at the moment.” Bai Xiaosheng said calmly with a smile, “I went to the headquarters this time, just in time for this conference, and I’ve learned a lot of new things. I want to share them with you first.”

Han Richeng was taken aback.

Does this mean Bai Xiaosheng intends to start with a leadership speech?

Well, new leaders love to talk at length, delivering an inauguration speech, don’t they?

Han Richeng promptly agreed, “Good! Mr. Bai is truly a pragmatist. This is to convey the outcomes and insights of the headquarters’ meeting to us, and we should listen attentively.”

Having said that, Han Richeng returned to his seat with a smile, listening intently, quite in the mood to listen to a leadership speech.

This guy, being over fifty, can show such an attitude to a young leader, one can’t help but utter a word of “impressed.”
