Chapter 1491: Chapter 1300: Unusual Changes

On the second day after the meeting, the behind-closed-doors session between Bai Xiaosheng and the Senior Affairs Officers had become the talk of the town.

Almost every corner of the Greater China Region Headquarters was filled with discussions about that meeting.

Many Affairs Officers, Affairs Assistants were even not focused on their work, gathering in small groups to frequently exchange insider information.

During yesterday’s meeting, and afterwards, Bai Xiaosheng did not issue any gag orders.

The fact that the content of the meeting leaked out to some extent seemed perfectly normal.

Yesterday, the Affairs Officers and Affairs Assistants all thought that the young new president had issued some significant regulations.

After all, “a new official takes office with three fires,” so everyone could understand.

But early this morning, when they learned that Bai Xiaosheng intended to change all the old regulations, they were immediately deeply shocked.

This young new president, what is he trying to do!

Does he intend to reshape the new order of the Affairs Department of the Greater China Region!

Many people keenly sensed that things might not be so simple!

Early this morning, as soon as work started, many people received a notification from the president’s office, alerting everyone via pop-up messages.

The notification clearly required that within this week, the Affairs Department would undergo major changes, requiring all Affairs Officers and Affairs Assistants to cooperate fully without delaying key work. During this period, if any personal reasons cause work chaos or even halt, the president’s office would have personnel investigate and confirm, and once responsibility is determined, it will result in penalties such as bonus deductions, salary reductions, demotions, or even dismissal.

That means in terms of penalties, there is no upper limit!

Consequently, amidst curiosity, the Affairs Officers and Affairs Assistants felt a faint sense of foreboding hanging over their hearts, and even some inexplicable nervousness.

Actually, it’s not only these “stakeholders” who are paying close attention.

Those regional managers waiting at the headquarters are also filled with astonishment, closely monitoring any small changes.

Even those high-ranking executives not only sent subordinates to inquire of the Affairs Officers and Affairs Assistants but also personally sought discreet information through Senior Affairs Officers with whom they had a good relationship.

However, unfortunately, most of those Senior Affairs Officers seemed to be in a state of tense preparedness, and were in no mood to disclose much to them, only saying that time was pressing and they had to focus on urgent matters first.

What the Senior Affairs Officers are busy with should be related to the new regulations.

Nevertheless, the regional managers’ curiosity only deepened.

Normally, any one or multiple regulations being passed and implemented is not a short-term affair; it requires a long period to progress gradually.

There hasn’t been any talk of outright abolishing the old rules and immediately establishing new ones.

However, what is beyond doubt is that one-week deadline, what does it mean? Are they really going to implement it immediately and see results right away?

Isn’t this excessive?

No one dared to believe it.

This new president Bai Xiaosheng and the regional managers had heard of his deeds before; they somewhat had their own speculative “impressions.”

But after hearing the rumors so many times, they increasingly struggled to get a grasp of his character!

The regional managers hurriedly investigated Bai Xiaosheng’s past affairs with the Senior Affairs Officers, analyzing them while also communicating among themselves to interpret Bai Xiaosheng the person.

After all, in one week Bai Xiaosheng will have a meeting with them!

The regional managers were rendered somewhat tense by the inexplicable and eerie situation unfolding before them.

Actually, not all Senior Affairs Officers were unwilling to speak more.

Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu were exceptions!

These two engaged not only in “deep” exchanges with regional managers they had close relations with, but even proactively sought out other “suitable” regional managers to chat.

Especially those who had benefited greatly from the current regulations.

In fact, after the meeting yesterday, that evening, Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu got together for a small meeting and jointly devised countermeasures to take action against him the next day.

“Since we have no allies among the Senior Affairs Officers, then let’s find external support! I don’t believe those regional managers benefiting from the existing system would sit back and do nothing! They’ll mourn for fallen comrades; if they remain indifferent, they’ll be next in line!”

Shang Dadong said to Zhao Xinyu, gritting his teeth, “Now, we must unite and bring those with actual power into the fray to deliver Bai Xiaosheng a heavy blow and create enough trouble!”

Zhao Xinyu wholeheartedly agreed, his attitude aligned seamlessly with Shang Dadong.

The two conspired and devised a set of counter-strategies—

“Start by spreading rumors to unsettle people, create chaos, and merely calming the populace will consume a great deal of Bai Xiaosheng’s energy and time…”

“Continuously create obstacles, using the ‘delay’ tactic, preventing Bai Xiaosheng’s set of regulations from being successfully implemented…”

“Find regional managers to act in coordination internally and externally, create turmoil affecting the enterprises below due to reforms, and see if Bai Xiaosheng can withstand it…”

“Connect with ‘allied’ Senior Affairs Officers who have defected, explain the stakes, and let them resist not openly but merely slow down, causing everyone to delay together…”

Whether these counter-strategies and plans are effective, meticulous, or rigorous, Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu didn’t care anymore.

After all, they’re already openly opposing Bai Xiaosheng’s regulations, just short of tearing each other apart.

Privately orchestrating these, as long as they’re not caught red-handed, there wouldn’t be a problem!

Neither of them realized they were like trapped beasts, making their last struggles unconsciously, and some strategies were extremely ill-considered…
