Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2349 - 1777: You Guys Talk_3

Han Zizhi lingered behind his father, overflowing with thrill and arrogance he couldn't suppress, even spinning around to gloat toward Bai Xiaosheng's group.

Hou Yuncheng delved deeper into chat with Han He.

During talk about the West Development matter, Hou Yuncheng lauded Han Yewanhe's key contributions.

Han He found it hard to slip in his point, yet when Hou Yuncheng raised it, he jumped in smoothly and fittingly, saying, "Actually, as a company, we are willing to contribute to society while developing ourselves. It’s just that now... our Han Yewanhe is facing some troubles due to market share issues."

"Oh?" Hou Yuncheng showed clear surprise at Han He's words spoken so directly before him.

"This matter isn’t anyone’s fault, it’s just some problems caused by competition." Han He kept up his air of magnanimity.

Bai Xiaosheng and his crew closely watched the scene unfolding with Hou Yuncheng, Bai Xiaosheng included.

Once Han He wrapped up his exchange with Hou Yuncheng, Bai Xiaosheng planned to step forward and pay respects, considering the prior inconvenience he'd caused as a visitor.

Just then, all eyes caught Director Hou and Han He glancing their way, still deep in discussion.

Suddenly, Lu Yun, Jia Chengshan, and the rest's faces shifted dramatically.

Han He had truly painted Bai Xiaosheng in a poor light right in front of Director Hou!

This guy lived up to his reputation for being cutthroat and bold.

Right away, Lu Yun and Jia Chengshan knit their brows. Han He was openly slapping their faces, aiming to drag them down too.

In that case, once this wraps up, they'd surely stir up issues for the Han Family.

Other guests who backed Bai Xiaosheng also furrowed brows slightly at the sight. Was Han He set on clashing with the whole lot?!

Yet for the moment, no matter their feelings, Director Hou's presence forced Bai Xiaosheng and them to swallow pride and play nice with the Han Family.

This turn left a sour taste in everyone's mouth.

These prominent attendees, all big shots, despised being "pushed" into such awkward spots the most.

Han He's overt tactics had ignited widespread resentment.

Over on that side, after hearing Han He's version of events, Hou Yuncheng mulled it over briefly before stating calmly, "Oh, that’s how things are, then shall we go over and discuss this matter?"

At those words, Han He brimmed with pure joy.

Hou Yuncheng stepping in for him—what an incredible boost!

Would Bai Xiaosheng now yield on his own?

His clever ploy had exploded in his face this time!

Plus, linking up with Hou Yuncheng would make Lu Yun and the others think twice before crossing him.

"Great, great, please, please!" Han He grinned widely, issuing the invite.

Han Zizhi hovered behind, hands fidgeting wildly with pent-up glee.

Amid gasps and hushed murmurs from the crowd, Hou Yuncheng and Han He headed straight for Bai Xiaosheng's table.

As Hou Yuncheng approached in person, Bai Xiaosheng and company rose with welcoming smiles to greet him.

Still, glances at Han He and his son carried hints of irritation in their eyes.

"Director Hou."

"Director Hou!"

All called out to Hou Yuncheng, who replied with smiles and friendly words to each.

Next, Hou Yuncheng faced Bai Xiaosheng and cut straight to it, "Just now, Mr. Han told me that you’ve had a competitive conflict with them?"

"Yes." Bai Xiaosheng confirmed without hesitation.

You owned up to it! Han He eagerly awaited what came next.

Seeing Hou Yuncheng actually bring up the dispute, Lu Yun, Jia Chengshan, and others hurriedly chimed in, "Director Hou, those are all normal business competitions."

"Yes, it’s all fair competition. It’s surprising it caught your attention!"

They all spoke up together, aiming to defuse the tension.

Han He inwardly sneered with delight.

What good is their "first impression"? He'd already molded Director Hou's perspective, and they couldn't flip it that fast!

With Director Hou now engaged, he'd push it to resolution!

This round, Bai Xiaosheng would "withdraw" without a fight, gaining zilch and walking away bare!

Beneath the intense stares of Han He and his son, Hou Yuncheng at last responded.

"Oh, this is normal competition then, I won’t say much about it." Hou Yuncheng eyed Bai Xiaosheng, adding, "You all settle it yourselves."

Han He, smug moments ago, stood frozen in shock.

Director Hou wrapped it up in just two lines?!

This flew against every expectation!

Why bother coming over at all?

The others stared at Hou Yuncheng in stunned disbelief too.

Forget Han He—even they reeled from the sudden twist, the shift so sharp it threw them off balance.

"I came over to tell you, Mr. Bai, that commercial bridge plan you chatted with me about last time, I think many of the ideas are quite good, we should find a time to discuss it further, I personally really appreciate your concepts!" Hou Yuncheng flashed Bai Xiaosheng a genuine, hearty smile.

The "commercial bridge" idea was just a casual sketch Bai Xiaosheng floated during his visit to Hou's place, which Hou Yuncheng had praised back then.

But it hardly merited a special visit to bring up.

Bai Xiaosheng, sharp as ever, grasped it instantly.

Hou Yuncheng was backing him quietly!

Evidently, Hou Yuncheng kept tabs and disliked the Han Family's monopoly in the Western market!

Han He's scheme had boomeranged hard!

The group, Lu Yun included, gawked at Bai Xiaosheng in astonishment.

Since when did Bai Xiaosheng forge such a strong tie with Director Hou?

Han He gaped mutely, eyes bulging.

Han Zizhi stood utterly dumbfounded.

"You guys chat, I’ll head over there first." Hou Yuncheng tossed a cheerful goodbye and strode off gracefully.

Han He remained dazed until Bai Xiaosheng's repeated calls snapped him back.

"Huh?" Han He blinked at Bai Xiaosheng blankly, missing what he'd said.

Bai Xiaosheng grinned at Han He and drawled casually—

"Mr. Han, as Director Hou just said, shall we continue our conversation?!"
