Han He grows furious upon learning Bai Xiaosheng has shifted attacks to his family's core eastern and southern businesses, with others aiding him. Inspired by Director Hou's imminent arrival, Han He seeks to expose the conflict for leverage. Amid urgent pleas for reconciliation from mediators, Bai Xiaosheng proposes collaboration: Han He retains east and south markets, while they jointly develop the west with shared channels.

Those present couldn't help nodding in silent approval.

This strategy targets lasting gains while openly showing ample respect to Han He, disregarding short-term profits or setbacks.

Truly lives up to the reputation of Bai Xiaosheng!

Others interpreted it thus, yet Han He perceived it differently.

To Han He, Bai Xiaosheng's moves signaled a retreat, born of intimidation.

Moreover, he viewed Bai Xiaosheng's requests as overly demanding!

Though their networks across the western regions remained nascent and fragile, these assets belonged exclusively to the Han Family. Share them with Bai Xiaosheng?

How could anyone allow foes to slumber peacefully by their bedside!

"Sorry, I truly cannot accept this condition!" Han He shook his head at once and addressed Bai Xiaosheng icily, "Mr. Bai, consider my proposal. Cease your rivalry against Han Family enterprises right away! We'll overlook the damages you've inflicted on us. For those emerging western markets, invest as partners—I'll allocate shares, let your firm persist, and then we'll pursue separate paths without clashing. How about it?"

Han He's offer rang hollow, urging Bai Xiaosheng to yield without real compensation.

Everyone there furrowed their brows involuntarily.

Were they in Bai Xiaosheng's shoes, such terms would be unacceptable.

Likely even Han He himself would reject them.

In business, restraint precedes action, but once engaged, the drive is pure profit. Toil without reward—who would stomach it?

As expected, Bai Xiaosheng shook his head firmly.

"Sorry, Mr. Han, your offer doesn't work for me either!"

Suddenly, negotiations between them deadlocked.

By now, the entrance buzzed with chatter, stirring even guests at adjacent tables.

Vice-Director Hou Yuncheng had made his entrance.

One person initiated applause, quickly spreading as more joined, halting Bai Xiaosheng and the rest mid-talk.

"We'll continue this later." Han He dropped the line, pivoted toward the arrival, and started clapping, signaling his disinterest in proceeding.

Onlookers took note, minds racing with varied notions, yet all applauded while turning their gaze.

Bai Xiaosheng shot Han He a smiling glance, utterly unperturbed.

"Discuss," he invited.

"Clash," he stood ready to join!

Behind Han He, Han Zizhi snuck a venomous peek at Bai Xiaosheng.

On this issue, he resolved to urge his father to raise it with Director Hou, ensuring Bai Xiaosheng couldn't trample the Han Family unchecked!

There, encircled by the crowd, Hou Yuncheng advanced with confident strides, exchanging warm greetings, exuding remarkable affability.

"The true chief trails me; I don't merit this ovation. Today, leading the team, I'm here to assist all. Voice any concerns freely—no need for reserve." Hou Yuncheng bantered lightly with those gathered, earning universal acclaim for his warmth.

Following brief exchanges with the group, select entrepreneurs approached for short chats, which he handled graciously.

All attendees, mindful of rank and decorum, grasped propriety and restraint, limiting talks to under a minute. None interrupted ongoing conversations.

From Bai Xiaosheng's table, Lu Yun, Jia Chengshan, and others stepped up to pay respects.

Han He rose and approached too.

Prior to departing, he flashed Bai Xiaosheng a deliberate grin.

Even Han Zizhi tossed a hostile sneer at Bai Xiaosheng, implying: your reckoning awaits!

Bai Xiaosheng pretended not to notice.

Next to him, Lu Yun frowned slightly, bending close to whisper to Bai Xiaosheng, "I suspect Han He might escalate this to Director Hou—brace yourself."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled softly back at Lu Yun, murmuring, "Relax, Uncle Lu, no issue!"

After reassuring Lu Yun, Jia Chengshan leaned in and advised Bai Xiaosheng, "Mr. Bai, the odds stack against us now. Perhaps yield a bit to Han He temporarily and handle him down the line!"

Jia Chengshan had aided Bai Xiaosheng substantially, aiming to deepen their bond.

His counsel came from genuine concern.

"Mr. Jia, rest easy—I have it handled." Bai Xiaosheng replied softly with a grin.

Through partnering with Jia Chengshan and allies, Bai Xiaosheng secured them major global contracts, fostering a budding alliance. In such ventures, mutual benefits forge enduring ties.

Reassured, Jia Chengshan grinned, nodded, and held his peace.

A short distance away, Dong Tianlu and companions watched Bai Xiaosheng mingle jovially with the elites. Though words escaped them, they trusted his command of the situation—no cause for alarm.

Meanwhile, fresh from conversing with a prominent tycoon, Hou Yuncheng spotted Han He nearing.

"Director Hou, delighted to meet you! I'm..."

"Han He, Mr. Han!" Hou Yuncheng beamed in recognition, extending his hand eagerly, "I've long hoped to connect—nearly visited your home on a recent trip but missed you."

Met with Hou Yuncheng's exuberance, Han He's weathered features split into a flower-like smile, clasping hands while responding, "Your fame precedes you; I've yearned for this encounter but feared imposing. Thrilled to finally meet."

This exchange between them ignited murmurs among bystanders, all astonished at Han He's pull with Hou Yuncheng!
