Chapter 1494: Chapter 1301: Old Shang, Are You Crazy?!

Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu are like evergreen trees among the high ranks of the Greater China Region.

Whether it’s Xiahou Qi or Shen Peishen, no matter who steps down or takes the stage, their positions remain incredibly stable.

The reason is simple.

Under Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu, each has gathered their own group of people, forming a solid foundation. No matter who becomes the leader, they need their support and need them to organize people and get things done.

Though Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu have each formed their own “small factions” and are greedy for profit, they operate in a more subtle way, not ostentatious, and their appetite is far from as grand as Shen Peishen’s. Moreover, after each time they benefit, they conceal themselves for a while, meticulously cleaning up any “loose ends”, making it difficult for anyone to catch hold of them.

Furthermore, they act within bounds, knowing which red lines should never be crossed!

You could say they understand the importance of moderation.

After years of endurance, their experience has become extremely old, which is also a significant asset!

Overall, people like Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu pose relatively low risk, are cooperative for work, but it’s very troublesome to move them. Involving them would inevitably stir up a large crowd, causing unnecessary bother.

So, both Xiahou Qi and Shen Peishen tend to focus on pulling them in.

At most, when extremely dissatisfied, they’ll voice out a bit to knock them back.

Facing the anger of the superiors, Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu can quickly restrain themselves.

Such stances, akin to stubborn meat, are better leveraged rather than confronted.

Bai Xiaosheng, however, unlike Xiahou Qi or Shen Peishen, insists on moving them, having a certain inevitability in it.

Strictly speaking, Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu are the biggest beneficiaries of the old system, naturally becoming its protectors, whether intentionally or unintentionally, they hinder reforms and hold back the company’s pace of development. Bai Xiaosheng holds an unprecedented opportunity, ambitiously leading the Greater China Region further and higher, which inevitably sets them in opposition.

This conflict, indeed, is unavoidable!

Ultimately, one party must be severely damaged for it to truly end!

However, from the beginning, this struggle was destined for Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu to be outplayed by Bai Xiaosheng.

No need for extensive analysis; accustomed to stability through the years, Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu’s crisis awareness and coping capacity fall far short of even one percent of Shen Peishen’s.

But who is Bai Xiaosheng?

Even Shen Peishen lost to him!

Yet they dare to think they can contend with Bai Xiaosheng, a self-destructive idea!

Laughably, those two still cling to hopes, believing they can oppose Bai Xiaosheng…

Actually, it’s understandable, after all, Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu, having aged, carry an inherent obstinacy and confidence in their arrogance, all of which are understandable…

It’s just unfortunate, their countermeasures seemed clumsy right from the start.

Compared to Bai Xiaosheng’s comprehensive thinking, they are simply not in the same league…

At this moment, the collapse tendency in the situation Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu are facing is already emerging.

Both have become agitated.

In a phone conversation, Shang Dadong suddenly mentioned he had a strategy that could change the situation.

His tone was peculiar as he spoke, yet evident with confidence.

Zhao Xinyu was also at his wit’s end, so upon hearing this, naturally felt delighted, and when Shang Dadong said it was inconvenient to discuss it over the phone, he immediately hung up and rushed over.

Upon arrival, Shang Dadong dismissed others and sat face to face with Zhao Xinyu on the sofa to discuss his plan in private.

Seeing Shang Dadong maintaining his composure and leisurely pouring tea for himself before speaking, Zhao Xinyu became a bit anxious.

“Old Shang, you’d better get to business first, what’s the plan? There are only two days left until Bai’s deadline!” Zhao Xinyu urged anxiously.

This time, Zhao Xinyu couldn’t shake a bad feeling from his heart.

Even just now, over the phone, Zhao Xinyu had tentatively suggested to Shang Dadong—a possibility to follow Bai Xiaosheng’s arrangements temporarily and avoid direct confrontation.

They stood out too prominently, and in a negative way!

Shoot the bird that sticks out!

Who knows if that young CEO, Bai, wouldn’t stubbornly escalate into a full-blown conflict.

Moreover, Zhao Xinyu felt they crossed the line this time. Disrespecting the other as a leader, how could they possibly coexist in the future?

Zhao Xinyu’s visit aimed to discuss with Shang Dadong, considering bowing for the young CEO, preserving their positions at the least, wasn’t it?

The reason behind Zhao Xinyu’s contemplation and compromise was the change in attitude from his subordinates over these two days, with ambiguous stances.

He even overheard more than once, them discussing reforms, supporting the new governance!

His own people were stirring, the roots were shaken, and Zhao Xinyu indeed felt somewhat afraid.

Facing the urgencies from an old friend, Shang Dadong smirked mysteriously. Before speaking, he cautioned Zhao Xinyu, “When I say it, don’t be shocked, nor immediately opposed!”

“I have my reasons for planning such a move!”

There was even a peculiar hint of amusement in Shang Dadong’s eyes.

Zhao Xinyu looked at his old friend skeptically.

With a sense, whatever Shang Dadong was about to say was surely out of the ordinary!

Seeing Zhao Xinyu focused intently on him, Shang Dadong also took a deep breath, calming his mind.

“These two days, Bai Xiaosheng plans to implement the Affairs Officer’s evidence-based accountability system for Senior Affairs Officers. Then, we arrange someone to ‘help’ him! Let’s find an Affairs Officer to accuse a Senior Affairs Officer!”
