<h4>Chapter 1495: Chapter 1301: Old Shang, Are You Crazy?!_2</h4><h4></h4>


    Shang Dadong’s "brilliant n" left Zhao Xinyu utterly dumbfounded, staring at him in disbelief.


    "Old Shang, are you crazy!"


    After a moment, Zhao Xinyu finally shrieked!


    What kind of n is this!


    Right now, the contents of this system have the Affairs Officers and Assistants closely watching.


    However, no one dares to make the first move!


    To challenge authority?


    A huge workce taboo!


    Whoever dares to do it is likely to end up on a "cklist", and in the future, with such a hierarchical order, who would dare employ such a person!


    Even if, against all odds, it works and is sessful.


    If the superior isn’t toppled but merely penalized, would the one who provided evidence fare well afterwards!


    Revenge by the Senior Affairs Officer would be all too easy...


    The reality of the situation lies there, enticing yet intimidating; no one dares act recklessly, everyone just waits and watches.


    Everyone is waiting for the first brave soul to emerge!


    This policy indeed gives Affairs Officers hope, causing inner turmoil among them.


    Especially with previous policies encouraging Affairs Officers and Assistants to free themselves from the control of Senior Affairs Officers.


    Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu’s subordinates clearly felt off.


    This was the main reason both felt uneasy.


    And now, Shang Dadong actually wants to help Bai Xiaosheng?


    Isn’t this courting disaster? It’d be better to support openly and disperse the subordinates.


    After the scream, Zhao Xinyu hurriedly covered his mouth, nced back at the office door, saw no activity, turned around, leaned forward towards Shang Dadong, and lowered his voice hastily—


    "Right now, those Affairs Officers and Assistants are watching eagerly, yet no one has made a move. I’ve been worried if Li Haofeng and the others might arrange someone to act, and here you... Do you know what this policy resembles, a Pandora’s box! What good does it do for us to open it when we’re also Senior Affairs Officers! Do you want us to be targets once the precedent is set?"


    "Or do you think we should defect now, stop holding on?" Zhao Xinyu’s eyes were filled with panic.


    Zhao Xinyu seemedpletely unable to grasp any benefits from Shang Dadong’s actions.


    Yet, Shang Dadong remained calm and didn’t rush to interrupt as Zhao Xinyu spoke.


    Eventually, with a cold sneer, Shang Dadong slowly said to Zhao Xinyu, "I know this move carries great risk for us."


    "But you and I have been cautious for years, leaving no traces." Shang Dadong continued.


    "Even if what we did gets entirely uncovered, would it harm us in the slightest? Would Bai Xiaosheng really use such trivial matters to dismiss us two Senior Affairs Officers? He must be mad!?"


    "The reason I’m doing this is to give those sharing our interests a little reminder!"


    "Today’s used Senior Affairs Officer might be you, me, or him tomorrow!"


    "I need them to realize that their current actions are wrong!" Shang Dadong concluded grimly.


    Whether those two "allies" who defected midway or those regional heads who bark louder than they bite.


    They were all wrong!


    Once the new system rolls out smoothly, everyone will be unfortunate!


    "I need to take a risky gambit to achieve a shocking effect! To awaken those who still can’t see the situation clearly!"


    As Shang Dadong spoke, he straightened his back, his eyes fierce.


    Zhao Xinyu was stunned, unable to believe this is the old friend he’d known for years.


    Then, Zhao Xinyu gulped and gathered himself.


    This move, despite the considerable risk, could be seen as a bold stroke, and perhaps... it might indeed be effective!


    Besides, since they’ve covered their tracks well, giving it a shot doesn’t seem too risky.


    Otherwise...


    Why not try?! Zhao Xinyu thought to himself.


    Faced with the current situation, Zhao Xinyu felt like he was walking on thin ice, standing on the edge of an abyss, his sense of crisis overwhelming.


    Following their previous strategies was definitely not feasible! Giving up everything from over the years was something he was utterly unwilling to do; it felt worse than death.


    Take a gamble, perhaps there will be a turning point!


    Zhao Xinyu’s breathing quickened as he thought more and became more tempted.


    Finally, Zhao Xinyu gritted his teeth, nodding heavily, "Alright! Old Shang, I’ll listen to you! This time, let’s go big!"


    As Zhao Xinyu agreed, Shang Dadongughed heartily, patted him on the shoulder full of relief.


    "So, who should we target first?" Zhao Xinyu suddenly asked.


    This was a question.


    Logically, Li Haofeng, Zheng Honghu, Xu Youruo, and Chen Yucheng stood entirely opposed to them, so they should target them, but those four were always in league with Xiahou Qi, and while some actions were oundish, there was indeed nothing worth indicting; if they investigated them, in the end they might even end up being a positive example, gifting the opposition leverage.


    If they don’t target Li Haofeng and the others, then who could break the situation?


    Could it be... they n to y the self-sacrifice trick, letting one of their own suffer?!


    As Zhao Xinyu thought of this, and saw Shang Dadong eyeing him, he immediately became wary.


    Could Old Shang be directing and performing, discussing so many details just to have me y the lead in a self-sacrifice drama?


    That would be absolutely uneptable!


    As Zhao Xinyu reached this conclusion and was about to voice it, Shang Dadong smiled and said a name—


    ...


    "Han Richeng!"


    Bai Xiaosheng in the new office lounge area, was sitting across from Xiahou Qi, smiling as he poured tea for the old leader while talking.


    "I guess he is exactly the chosen one in Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu’s n!"
