Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2350 - 1778: Another Ally Joins

Never could Han He have dreamed that Bai Xiaosheng was acquainted with Director Hou! Not just that, Director Hou regarded Bai Xiaosheng with great esteem!

His scheme to sabotage had completely reversed against him...

While many scrambled to gain an audience with Director Hou, Bai Xiaosheng simply had Director Hou approaching him; the gap was staggering!

This sight alone revealed volumes.

Han He wasn't stupid; he clearly perceived that Director Hou's open dialogue with Bai Xiaosheng signaled to all his deep admiration and trust in him.

Furthermore, Director Hou knew about the invitation for the speech assistance yet remained silent; could this indicate his displeasure toward Han He?

In pushing forward Western region projects, Han Yewanhe had indeed grabbed markets and overstepped in certain ways.

Was this a subtle warning aimed at him?

Han He's thoughts churned chaotically until Bai Xiaosheng addressed him.

Thanks to Bai Xiaosheng's "reminder", Han He jolted back to reality, his gaze shifting to the youth beaming at him.

Given that Bai Xiaosheng could engage Director Hou on such elevated subjects and earn his favor, perhaps he could leverage this to improve Director Hou's negative view of him...

As Han He pondered this, Han Zizhi from behind grabbed the chance to reply to Bai Xiaosheng, "No need to chat right now since Director Hou is aware; he surely won't tolerate issues in the delegation before departure. Thus, Mr. Bai, shouldn't you rethink that prior suggestion!"

Unlike his father, Han Zizhi couldn't pivot his stance so swiftly; he figured that even though Hou Yuncheng permitted free talks, it might still pressure Bai Xiaosheng.

Director Hou's regard for Bai Xiaosheng had startled Han Zizhi earlier, yet he soon dismissed its weight.

Leaders prioritize issues over individuals, after all. Praise and rebuke often go hand in hand.

All those around couldn't resist glancing at Han Zizhi, their gazes mirroring varied intentions.

"Oh, no hurry at the moment... Fine then, we'll chat later." Bai Xiaosheng eyed Han Zizhi before grinning at Han He.

Hearing those words, Han He's face twisted.

Unbeknownst to him, his son's rash remark had landed him in hot water.

"No, no, Mr. Bai, let's discuss right away as you proposed! Your plan has my full agreement!" Han He blurted out in haste.

"Dad!" Han Zizhi stared at his father, stunned.

How could Dad consent to Bai Xiaosheng's terms, which disadvantaged them and threatened heavy losses?

"Shut up!" Han He scowled, whipping around to hiss lowly, "Useless idiot, quit babbling nonsense! Head home now!"

Han Zizhi froze, baffled by his father's public fury.

"Go... go back?" Han Zizhi gulped.

Han He muttered urgently once more, "Straight to your room, and skip dinner tonight!"

At that point, Han He deeply regretted dragging Han Zizhi here.

This bungling fool had done far more damage than benefit. Couldn't he grasp how drastically the winds had shifted?

Han He now second-guessed his parenting of Han Zizhi, having let him run his venture with hidden support to build his entrepreneurial spirit.

Yet clearly, foresight mattered most!

Han Zizhi utterly lacked even fundamental situational awareness...

Han He rued his child-rearing tactics.

In truth, with just this one son and as a novice dad, spoiling and missteps were unavoidable...

Publicly scolded by his father amid such a crowd, Han Zizhi burned with humiliation, rage, and resentment, yet he bit back words, defiantly refusing to budge while shooting icy glares at Bai Xiaosheng.

"Mr. Bai, ignore my boy's drivel; please, let's keep talking!" Han He pivoted desperately to Bai Xiaosheng.

"No, your son's words... actually hit the mark; talking now is truly inconvenient." Bai Xiaosheng firmly shut down further exchange with Han He.

"Yes, with Director Hou present and dinner commencing, private talks don't fit."

"Precisely, leaders will arrive shortly; a private huddle here would look bad."

"True, after all this delay, the moment's gone—later it is."

"This shows time never lingers..."

With Lu Yun and Jia Chengshan taking the lead, the table's attendees chimed in, their looks toward Han He blending scorn and amusement.

Han He grasped with bitter clarity his isolation; Bai Xiaosheng wasn't just favored by Director Hou—these elite tycoons aligned with him too, unveiling networks Han He had been clueless about.

Right then, Han He's view of Bai Xiaosheng flipped dramatically.

Catching Han Zizhi's hostile stare at Bai Xiaosheng, Han He suffered an instant migraine, inwardly cursing his son as a real liability he hadn't spotted sooner!

Though tempted to scold Han Zizhi again, Han He deemed it too mortifying to keep chastising him before fellow business magnates of similar rank.

As the buzz continued, Han He snapped quietly at Han Zizhi, "Hold your tongue!"
