Chapter 1497: Chapter 1302: The Angry Han Richeng

Zhenbei Group Greater China Region Affairs Department, Senior Affairs Officer Han Richeng’s office.

“What did you say? Say it again!”

Originally sitting behind his desk, calmly handling affairs, Han Richeng’s eyes widened dramatically upon hearing the messenger’s words, glaring at the person before him, demanding an answer.

Han Richeng’s face no longer remained composed, interwoven with shock and anger.

Someone has presented evidence to the Greater China Region Headquarters, demanding accountability from him!

Currently, the headquarters administration department has accepted this accountability request and is organizing participants for the hearing.

President Bai Xiaosheng and all Senior Affairs Officers will attend, and fifty well-regarded, loyal and upright Affairs Officers are being selected.

The meeting is scheduled to be held in an hour!

The person delivering the notice is also from headquarters administration.

This time, they not only delivered a verbal notice but also brought an official notification.

Han Richeng glanced at the paper document on the desk, feeling the seal’s bright red unbearably glaring.

“Senior Affairs Officer Han Richeng, according to the newly issued regulations, you don’t need to prepare anything, just attend on time.”

The messenger not only repeated Han Richeng’s request but also thoughtfully added a note.

Under the new regulations, once a Senior Affairs Officer is held accountable, headquarters will arrange a meeting within the shortest possible time, set within one hour, leaving no time or space for the individual concerned to maneuver.

Of course, if one’s actions are proper and just, there’s no need to prepare; one can simply go and explain with confidence.

Those dozens of loyal and upright Affairs Officers are neither blind nor deaf.

However, such a carefree person, someone who lives without guilt and with a clear conscience, is ultimately in the minority.

Clearly, Han Richeng does not belong to this group.

At this moment, his mind is full of shock and anger.

He had seen the new regulations and even contemplated cooperating with the new president to push them forward.

But he didn’t expect that he, Han Richeng, would be the first to be held accountable!

Indeed, he helped push the regulations, but this approach was something he truly couldn’t accept!

How can it be me!

Why is it me!

In his shock and anger, Han Richeng was utterly discontented and filled with frustration.

“Senior Affairs Officer Han Richeng, I have delivered the notice, may I leave now?” The messenger politely asked, with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Such an embarrassing matter, anyone involved would likely feel awful…

“Alright, I understand, thank you, you may leave now.”

Han Richeng forced down his inner fire and dismissed the messenger.

As soon as the person went out, two people quietly entered the room.

Han Richeng was just calming his mind, ready to send someone to probe the situation, when he looked up and saw them.

“Wang, Zhou?”

These two are Han Richeng’s confidants, sent by him to monitor the current situation.

They returned, looking solemn and anxious.

“Richeng Senior Affairs Officer, you’ve received the notice, right? It’s already a huge commotion outside, we rushed back after investigating.” One of the two, the older one, urgently said to Han Richeng.

Han Richeng stood up, inviting them to the sofa area, “Wang, Zhou, come and speak!”

Han Richeng is known for being sycophantic, selfish and cunning, held in contempt by many.

However, people are multi-faceted, never absolutely positive or negative, and this holds true for Han Richeng as well.

He is exceedingly kind to the people around him and to his subordinates.

Even when promoted to Senior Affairs Officer, he never lorded over his former colleagues, treating them equally in private.

This is why someone as adept at flattery as Han Richeng still gathers people around him!

Wang and Zhou did not hesitate with Han Richeng.

After all, in private, they were always like this, treating no one as an outsider.

Besides, given the current situation, it was truly not the time for formalities!

The two walked over, pouring themselves a glass of water.

They hurried back, investigating along the way, leaving them both parched.

Han Richeng, however anxious, did not rush them, patiently waiting.

“Reporting to headquarters administration, the person presenting evidence against you is Luo Chengxin, an Affairs Officer, who has several pieces of evidence regarding your misconduct when you were an Affairs Officer. There’s also one piece allegedly involving collusion with Shen Peishen when you became a Senior Affairs Officer, evidence of malpractice!”

Wang hastily said in one breath.

The notification did not mention the person presenting the evidence, seemingly to give the person concerned an impactful moment.

However, since this is the first time in history, the identity of the presenter and more details have spread outside!

“Even hearing fragments of information, we knew those matters, indeed we did them, and the evidence against us seems… substantial!” Zhou also looked grave.

Being close to Han Richeng, they had dealt with many matters, and hearing even snippets, they understood what it implied.

“Luo Chengxin!” Han Richeng muttered the name through clenched teeth, narrowing his eyes.

He was no stranger to this person, having interacted multiple times when they were both Affairs Officers!

Back then, Luo Chengxin had tried repeatedly to persuade him to rely on Officer Dadong, Shang Dadong, seeking shelter under a big tree. Yet, after weighing his options, Han Richeng did not agree.

The other side did not seem angry but wanted to befriend him, even asking him for favors.

Out of respect for Shang Dadong, Han Richeng did not refuse, maintaining courteous and pleasant relations.

Unexpectedly, it would be this person to present evidence against him!

Han Richeng’s heart tightened.

Luo Chengxin bore no grudge against him, had no reason to trap him like this.

Furthermore, if the evidence was insufficient, Luo Chengxin would likely not dare!

If all are real and valid, it implies the opponent has been collecting his dark past, not just for a day or two.

It’s a long-standing plan to deal with him, threaten him!

Is this truly Luo Chengxin’s doing alone, or is it…?

The more Han Richeng thought deeply, the colder his heart grew, the icier his gaze.

Could it be Officer Dadong, Shang Dadong’s orders!

Once the thought arose, Han Richeng immediately affirmed it.

As Han Richeng reached this point, Wang and Zhou exchanged a glance, tentatively suggesting, “This Luo Chengxin is quite close to Shang Dadong, this is something outsiders might not know, but we do!”

“Him presenting evidence against you, could it be Shang Dadong’s directive? After all, daring to do this means Luo Chengxin’s reputation would also suffer, who would willingly let such a person approach?”

“I think the regulation wouldn’t be used unless someone is forced, and more likely someone is using it to target people!”

“But we have no grudge against Luo Chengxin, and seemingly none against Officer Dadong, Shang Dadong…”

Wang and Zhou spoke one after the other.

Han Richeng couldn’t help but clench his fists.

He is far sharper and more intelligent than Shang Dadong and Zhao Xinyu, quickly grasping the crux of the problem.

“Someone wants to sacrifice me, to kill a chicken to warn the monkeys!” Han Richeng muttered in shock and anger, his eyes bloodshot.

Ah, he dared not do this, yet someone dared to move against him!

Now, the problem is, the evidence Luo Chengxin holds is likely true!

Han Richeng silently calculated, those matters are sufficient to tarnish his records as Senior Affairs Officer, coupled with the new regulation needing an exemplar, which means being taken down is not improbable!

Han Richeng felt his spine turn cold upon realizing this.

He had just ascended to Senior Affairs Officer, his future bright beyond compare, yet now it might all end.

He was unwilling!

“Currently, my only chance for survival might hinge upon the new president Bai Xiaosheng.” After much consideration, Han Richeng couldn’t help but ponder.

To him, it seemed the only path forward!

“Now, Bai Xiaosheng alone determines my fate; if he lets me live, I live; if he lets me die, I have no choice but to die. My life is in his hands.”

Han Richeng was relieved he aligned with Bai Xiaosheng at first, but they hadn’t yet established deeper “friendship.”

Compared to saving him, would Bai Xiaosheng prefer to set a classic example?

Han Richeng felt uncertain about his future.

Nonetheless, Han Richeng clenched his teeth, his gaze fierce.

“Good for you, Shang Dadong, you’re trying to get rid of me! Fine! Fine! If I survive this time, I won’t let it go!”

“And you, Zhao Xinyu, you’re also involved! I won’t let you both off!”
