CHAPTER 1469: CHAPTER 1290: BAI XIAOSHENG, COMES_3

Han Richeng rose to power through eloquence and leveraging momentum.

Such a person, although many believe them unlikely to achieve great success, tends to thrive in life.

With his words, he instantly diverted the attention of those who wanted to mock him to Xiahou Qi and the criteria for recommending candidates.

Moreover, Han Richeng’s words coerced the crowd, forcing Xiahou Qi not to only select people like Li Haofeng.

Li Haofeng, Zheng Honghu, Xu Youruo, and others couldn’t help but frown at Han Richeng, feeling some aversion towards him.

"I know, whether it’s about seniority or merit, I, Han Richeng, am not among the best here."

Han Richeng shifted the topic back to himself and began speaking incessantly.

"However, thanks to the appreciation of the Affairs Officers, they have spontaneously organized their support for me."

"The people’s voice, it’s all the people’s voice!"

"Elder Xia is our esteemed leader and senior, also the one who values the people’s voice most! If I, Han Richeng, by relying on the people’s support this time, fortunately gain Elder Xia’s endorsement, it will also prove our Greater China Region values the voices from the grassroots!"

"Here, I dare make a promise, if I become the Executive President of the Greater China Region, I will undoubtedly place Elder Xia at the highest position as an advisor, consulting him on everything, ensuring that the policies and thoughts that once led our Greater China Region to glory continue, without losing shape or form, allowing the Greater China Region to reach new heights!"

Han Richeng spoke fervently.

He finally pushed himself to the forefront.

This Han Richeng is quite sly, elevating Xiahou Qi greatly, declaring himself a devout follower.

In his view, many top leaders, once retired, worry that they will be forgotten, so he has given Xiahou Qi a public reassurance.

Afterward, he focused on the future development of the Greater China Region and mentioned Xiahou Qi’s policy measures.

A person like Xiahou Qi, who has worked hard his whole life, cannot possibly disregard the Greater China Region, and anyone he recommends to be the Executive President won’t be a mere puppet, leaving policy changes inevitable.

Han Richeng used this as his entry point, making his words penetrate Xiahou Qi’s heart.

Language is an art, so is the philosophy of opportunism.

Flattering words and inciting speeches are often scorned by those who have succeeded, considered petty, and expressions of loyalty in public seen as disgraceful and embarrassing, but these often scorned petty ways can yield unexpected results.

After Han Richeng finished speaking, Xiahou Qi seemed touched, staring deeply.

Suddenly, the crowd was in an uproar, unable to suppress their agitation.

This Han Richeng, he’s openly using the momentum to push himself forward, and if Mr. Xiahou Qi is moved, might he really recommend him!

While it’s not impossible, there would be one less spot, and such a person might get it!

"Han Richeng, you’re clearly recommending yourself!"

"Indeed, talking about the people’s choice, and spontaneous organization, what is it about, do you really think we don’t know!"

"This is openly bribing Elder Xia, although not with money, it’s still a form of bribery!"

"This is shamelessly low..."

"Exactly, Han Richeng, you’re really shameless."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Han Richeng remained calm and smiled at everyone, indifferent to the words, exuding an air of "forthrightness, smiling at the world, as none of you can do anything to me."

Just as long as Elder Xia endorses me, all you’ll do is envy!

Han Richeng, seeing Xiahou Qi looking at him, felt a burst of joy.

He revered his philosophy of opportunism as a classic, having studied it countless times. He believed that a leader who devoted their life to the company, upon stepping down, would only worry about those things, and he made his stance clear, "openly and sincerely" establishing his loyalty.

Would the old man not be moved?

Han Richeng didn’t believe it, as he had never encountered such a saint.

Shen Peishen was comparable to Xiahou Qi, and even he gave Han Richeng a Senior Affairs Officer role.

"Perhaps, this time, I’ll grab the Greater China Region Executive President!"

Han Richeng felt a rush of excitement.

However, he suddenly sensed something was amiss. Xiahou Qi looked in this direction but wasn’t looking at him, his gaze went past him and looked behind him.

Where Han Richeng sat, behind him was precisely the conference room’s entrance.

"What a lively scene."

A cheerful voice suddenly came from behind Han Richeng.

Han Richeng couldn’t help but turn around, and everyone else looked over as well.

A young figure appeared in everyone’s view, it was none other than Bai Xiaosheng whom they had been waiting for a long time!

Bai Xiaosheng, with a smile, first nodded in greeting to Xiahou Qi, then strode over and, under everyone’s watchful eyes, boldly sat in the seat reserved for Xiahou Qi!

Then, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and looked around at everyone.

"Everyone, please continue."

Han Richeng and the others were stunned, incredulous as they looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

How could he be like this!

Who does he think he is!
