<h4>Chapter 582: Chapter 582: Resentment Must Have Cause and Effect_1</h4>


    Tianzheng Media, over these years, had been constantly expanding its "territory."


    One city a year, expanding and advancing.


    Wherever they went, they merged with and acquired others.


    Their scale grew everrger, but thepany did not be overextended, instead bing increasingly stable.


    There was a reason for this.


    Tianzheng Media coveted the long-term perspective, equipped with detailed development ns and strategies.


    In the ces they went, the mergers and acquisitions, in fact, were all about taking controlling stakes, supporting localrgepanies, rather than taking over everything. When encountering non-shareholdingpanies, they would use various means to force them to restructure, and then take a share.


    After seizing control of a local market, they would not make any major moves elsewhere within that year but rather digest the new market they’d taken.


    Under this strategy of constant expansion and digestion, Tianzheng Media naturally grewrger and more stable.


    Next year or the year after, their target would be Zhongjing!


    Before Bai Xiaosheng appeared, this would have been a tough battle, a decisive "campaign."


    If they could upy and thoroughly assimte the Zhongjing market, they wouldn’t need to be so "cautious," but rather could be decisive and dominant in the Anjiang media industry!


    However, after the appearance of Bai Xiaosheng, in just a couple of months, he had put together a Media Industry Alliance, binding togetherrge and small mediapanies, institutions, and individuals of Zhongjing onto a single war chariot. With the strong support of the municipal government, he had formed a solid front!


    Mu Beichen’s Tianzheng Media had long made detailed ns to enter the Zhongjing market, even perfecting them over two years.


    Suddenly, the n turned into a pile of waste paper, seriously impeding Mu Beichen’s grand ambitions!


    Now, Mu Beichen had a personal grudge against Bai Xiaosheng, and at the same time, the financial backers behind him also harbored deep resentment towards Bai Xiaosheng!


    With both public and private grievances, Mu Beichen naturally wanted to crush Bai Xiaosheng.


    Just now, when he called Bai Xiaosheng, suggesting he wanted to join the Zhongjing Media Industry Alliance, it was essentially for market ess, but Bai Xiaosheng, with his Tai Chi tactics, neither epted nor refused, dying the matter.


    "This Bai, he’s a born troublemaker!" Mu Beichen couldn’t help but exim.


    "You’re right! ording to our investigations, that’s exactly how the magnates and merchants of Zhongjing refer to him!" Liu Yue also sighed with emotion.


    "Fortunately, I have suppressed this troublemaker for now! Blunted his edge first," Mu Beichen said with a coldugh.


    This victory had note easily. Currently, a dozen of thepany’s employees had been exhausted to the point of hospitalization, and he, Mu Beichen, was also extremely fatigued.


    But it was worth it. He had snatched the provincial benchmark enterprise spot from Bai Xiaosheng.


    "This is just the beginning. Next, this troublemaker will have reason to cry!" Mu Beichen snorted coldly, his smile tinged with pleasure.


    Liu Yue slightly nodded from the side, her squinted eyes also shing with excitement.


    Bai Xiaosheng’s office.


    Lin Weiwei brought him a cup of coffee, but Bai Xiaosheng sneezed several times in a row.


    "Xiaosheng, do you have a cold?" Lin Weiwei asked with concern.


    "No," Bai Xiaosheng took a tissue, wiped his nose, and mumbled, "I think someone is cursing me behind my back."


    Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but chuckle and turned to leave.


    Bai Xiaosheng held the fragrant coffee, inhaling the aroma, his face always adorned with a light smile.


    He was actually looking forward to tomorrow’s report!


    "Mu Beichen, your call today, boasting about your victory, was a bit premature. Your proposal for cooperation, seeking to join the alliance as a provincial benchmark enterprise, was also premature!" Bai Xiaosheng muttered.


    He shook his head, putting aside those thoughts, and began to silently specte on tomorrow’s report in his mind.


    After all, one must be strong to forge iron. The report cannot be taken lightly, especially the final stage of reporting.


    What potential problems might arise? What issues might the leaders ask about? What areas remain rtively weak...


    All this, Bai Xiaosheng was considering.


    He used Red Lotus to simte the entire process.


    Thus, after nearly an hour, Bai Xiaosheng exhaled a long breath and smiled contentedly.


    He finally had everything figured out.


    Bai Xiaosheng stood up after pondering the issue, stretched his limbs, twisted his neck, and decided to take a walk.


    After all, sitting for such long periods of time could lead to periarthritis and cervical spondylosis, and he certainly didn’t want to end up with a host of ailments.


    Upon leaving the office, Bai Xiaosheng strolled aimlessly.


    "Mr. Bai."


    "Mr. Bai!"


    Along the way, both new and senior employees greeted him with smiles, their faces showing reverence.


    Some, even openly disyed their admiration.


    Their general manager was young and ambitious, pioneering and enterprising, transforming thepany and elevating it to apletely new level! He had taken Zhongjing Media to unprecedented heights!


    Now, the mention of him by those big enterprises in Zhongjing was always with added respect!


    It made everyone at Zhongjing Media walk tall and proud when they were outside.


    And all of this had happened in just a few months!


    It had to be said, it was a miracle!


    In the face of everyone’s admiration, Bai Xiaosheng himself felt somewhat indifferent.


    He wandered idly, took the elevator down one floor, and meandered aimlessly.


    ncing up, Bai Xiaosheng saw the sign on an office door. At first, he paused, and then a smile with an unclear meaning crept over his lips, and he walked over.


    Vice President’s Office, Corporate Culture Research Office.


    These two unrted signs, put together, were somewhatical in themselves!


    Bai Xiaosheng knocked on the door.


    "Come in."


    Inside, Chen Changqing was organizing things and spoke absentmindedly.


    Nobody usually came to his office except for his two assistants, Yu Qing and Murong Yan.


    At this moment, Chen Changqing was acutely aware of the cold reality of the world, and how rtionships could be so indifferent.


    Without power, the position of vice-president was just a decoration!


    Out there, people would acknowledge his title out of courtesy but with no hint of respect!


    It was all Bai Xiaosheng’s doing; he had taken everything from him!


    This thought had tumbled through Chen Changqing’s mind more than once, filled with resentment, but overshadowed by a sense of helplessness. He couldn’tpete with that man! Even his Uncle had suffered a loss, hadn’t he?


    At this point, Chen Changqing felt much more at peace than he did at the beginning.


    "What’s up?" Chen Changqing didn’t even look up as he casually asked.


    "Nothing, I just came to chat with you," the visitor said with augh, sitting down directly opposite.


    Chen Changqing suddenly felt that something was amiss, and the voice made his skin crawl.


    Chen Changqing looked up and was startled, "Bai Xia... Mr. Bai!"


    Opposite him was, indeed, Bai Xiaosheng.


    This man whom he thought it was nearly impossible to see in this ce had arrived quietly, without assistants, and both of his assistants were not present either!


    Chen Changqing felt a bit flustered and quickly gathered the scattered papers on the desk, swiftly stuffing them into the three-part file rack inside the desk.


    "Look at this mess, I’ve made you see a joke, Mr. Bai!" Chen Changqing said, regaining hisposure with augh.


    Bai Xiaosheng quietly observed Chen Changqing’s eyes.


    In those eyes, there was a trace of—panic!
