<h4>Chapter 1456: Chapter 1286: Advancing Again!_2</h4>
...
"Twenty minutes ago, I was very angry," Shen Peishen stared at him and said.
Bai Xiaosheng nodded.
"Ten minutes ago, I was in despair," Shen Peishen sighed and said.
Bai Xiaosheng nodded again.
"Five minutes ago, I hated you deeply," Shen Peishen looked at him earnestly and said once more.
Bai Xiaosheng nodded again.
"But actually, we just have different positions; it’s merely the victors and the defeated. There’s no personal hatred," Shen Peishen exhaled heavily and continued.
Bai Xiaosheng continued to nod.
"Talking to you is really dull," Shen Peishen grinned, "Suddenly I want to smoke. I’ve quit for decades, but suddenly I want to smoke again."
"You don’t smoke, do you?" Shen Peishen looked at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Could you go and get me a cigarette? If I go out myself, I might not want toe back."
Bai Xiaosheng nodded, got up, walked to the door, knocked on it, and got a cigarette and lighter from someone outside.
After walking back, Bai Xiaosheng handed the cigarette to Shen Peishen and lit it for him personally.
Shen Peishen awkwardly took a puff and couldn’t help coughing.
Bai Xiaosheng did not urge him to stop smoking, just watched quietly.
Shen Peishen took puff after puff, and the two just sat quietly.
Until one cigarette was finished.
Shen Peishen looked at the cigarette butt, released it, letting it fall to the floor, then stepped on it to extinguish it.
"I have a lot to say to you," Shen Peishen said to Bai Xiaosheng.
"I want to curse you, damn you, fiercely spit in your face!"
"I want to ask you, I valued you so much, why fight me to the end!"
"I want to roar, to shout, to scream recklessly..."
Bai Xiaosheng quietly watched Shen Peishen, listened silently.
Shen Peishen looked at the cigarette butt on the ground, exhaled deeply and chuckled, "But after smoking this cigarette, all those things I wanted to say, I don’t anymore, don’t anymore."
Through wind and rain for decades, with a head full of grey hair, someone with Shen Peishen’s experience, at his age, sees rity and confusion as a matter of a single thought.
What’s tangled, hard to unravel, might in the next moment simply blow away with the wind.
Shen Peishen seriously looked at Bai Xiaosheng, then took a pen and paper from the table, and casually signed his name.
After that, he pped the pen on the tabletop, stood up, and silently walked towards the door.
Bai Xiaosheng watched quietly, following by standing up.
This "dialogue," from beginning to end, Bai Xiaosheng did not say a word, and Shen Peishen did not get emotional, did not rattle on.
Calm as water.
Bai Xiaosheng watched as Shen Peishen walked to the door, saw his hand on the doorknob but not hurried to open it, instead looking back at Bai Xiaosheng.
"Such a pity," Shen Peishen stared at Bai Xiaosheng, shook his head and said softly, "Such a pity, you weren’t my student!"
Then heughed again, "It’s fine that you’re the one who ends me!"
After speaking, Shen Peishen opened the conference room door, instantly straightened his back, and calmly said to the people outside, "I admit to all charges!"
With both witness and material evidenceplete, overturning the verdict is nearly impossible.
Might as well handle it decisively.
After all, once a person takes the wrong path, they still have to take responsibility for their choices.
Shen Peishen didn’t look back at Bai Xiaosheng and stepped out.
Meanwhile, a crisp notification sound rang in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.
"Stage upgrade task ’Summarize evidence, defeat Acting President Shen Peishen, or force him to publicly confess guilt,’ achieved!"
"Sessfully upgraded to Greater Regional President level, official position appointment to be released within twenty-four hours..."
"Gain of personal assets ten billion..."
...
One crisp notification sound after another, apanied by Red Lotus’s melodious voice reaching Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.
What should be immensely joyful for Bai Xiaosheng, at this moment he felt a calm heart, even uninterested in carefully listening to the contents of the rewards he received.
Bai Xiaosheng looked at the door, sighed with emotion.
Until someone peeked in to see him, he then stepped over.
...
Regarding the handling report of the Acting President of the Greater China Region, Shen Peishen, it was delivered all the way to the hands of relevant vice-chairmen.
After the three vice-chairmen convened and issued instructions, it finally settled.
More than an hourter, a notification was sent to the Asian business division.
Jiang Kuo hurried back, summoned five Executive Officers, and also Soruns, together in his office to read the notification.
Although Soruns was the European Division President, he was also the host of this major affair; he couldn’t avoid involvement.
The notification stated that the issues Shen Peishenmitted were severe and had a significant impact. To avoid causing amotion in the Greater China Region, he would be tried here, and it would be non-public, with minimal media involvement.
Jiang Kuo and Soruns had anticipated this, so it wasn’t surprising.
Fang Beijun and the others weren’t shocked either.
At this moment, another notification was delivered.
It stated that Xiahou Qi, Executive President of the Greater China Region, due to poor health, based on his own wishes, was permitted to process retirement.
This notification was also not surprising.
However, with Shen Peishen sent for trial and Xiahou Qi retiring, the Greater China Region faced a state of leaderless chaos.
The Executive President of the Greater China Region, also the Executive President of the Asian region, isn’t like other positions; someone can’t just be randomly appointed there.
There, someone familiar with the situation, with achievements and high prestige, ought to be appointed, preferably selected from regional-level leaders or distinguished Senior Affairs Officers.
Next Jiang Kuo wanted to discuss this topic, of course, this time Soruns was asked to avoid it, since it was an important internal affair of the Asian business department.
