Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2365 - 1784: Foes on a Narrow Road

During the journey toward the inspection site, he settled the dispute between two tribes, earned the honor of being a city's esteemed guest, gained appreciation from other merchants, and even addressed the upcoming business rivalry at their destination in advance. Such remarkable achievements could only be accomplished by Bai Xiaosheng.

While luck played a minor role, the success stemmed primarily from Bai Xiaosheng's boldness, quick adaptability, and skill in mastering the circumstances.

It's genuinely impressive and piques curiosity about the full story.

Two men dispatched by Mr. Samba, Dilu City's Deputy Mayor, traveled in a separate vehicle to assist with communications for Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions.

Inside the car carrying Bai Xiaosheng and his companions, the sole additional occupant was a dark-skinned driver. Lin Weiwei tried speaking Huaxia to him and confirmed he truly didn't comprehend, so she began discussing the earlier events with Bai Xiaosheng in Huaxia.

Lin Weiwei felt Bai Xiaosheng's ordeal must have been extraordinarily epic and exhilarating. Her fascination was intense; she regretted missing it and demanded he share every detail during the trip.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn't turn down her request, so he retold the whole story from the start for both of them.

Lin Weiwei disliked his plain recounting and kept probing for specifics, also urging him to explain his "mental activities" and "emotional changes" thoroughly.

Her eagerness matched that of a tabloid reporter.

Bai Xiaosheng ended up repeating certain parts several times but still failed to satisfy Lin Weiwei; helpless, he resorted to fabricating details to evade her relentless inquiries.

At least, the lengthy trip remained lively and engaging, filled with lively chats and tales.

When questioned why the two Clan Leaders so quickly embraced Bai Xiaosheng’s investment proposal without adhering to customs or after initial resistance followed by gradual convincing,

Bai Xiaosheng adopted a grave expression and stated, "At the outset, they were definitely against it, claiming it would damage the tribe’s feng shui."

"They discuss feng shui as well?" Lin Weiwei exclaimed in surprise.

Bai Xiaosheng responded solemnly, "Indeed, they adore Huaxia culture, particularly feng shui."

"So how did they end up agreeing?" Lin Weiwei inquired eagerly, "Did you, Xiaosheng, win them over with your persuasive words?"

"Absolutely!" Bai Xiaosheng smiled sagely, "I explained that the ongoing tribal clashes arose from poor feng shui at the reservoir, where two dragons were fighting. It required intervention for mutual prosperity, and since water breeds wealth, fish thrive in it—but the reservoir's potent spiritual energy demands yearly fish replacement, lest they hoard excess fortune and spoil tribal unity with their flavor. I proposed a fish canning plant. Moreover, with villages dispersed, fortune couldn't gather properly, so reconstruction was needed..."

Bai Xiaosheng rattled off wild fabrications, his creativity unleashed, while Lin Weiwei believed every word.

Lei Ying, up front in the passenger seat, started off listening closely but grew doubtful as it went on, glancing back to spot the playful glint in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes signaling his successful mischief.

Perceptive as ever, Lei Ying furrowed her brow briefly, grasped the reality in an instant, then faced forward with a grin, treating the rest as pure jest.

"The two Clan Leaders cherish their prestige highly. I assured them that successful investment would bring tribal prosperity and elevate their reverence—even their accessory feathers would upgrade from wild birds to peacocks, or those from the legendary Eastern phoenix..."

"Xiaosheng, you're quite the storyteller; phoenixes don't exist." Lin Weiwei laughed lightly.

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, "I was merely illustrating. That's how the two Clan Leaders got swayed by my reasoning and eagerly welcomed our investment."

In truth, those Clan Leaders possessed sharp insight and needed little convincing from me...

Bai Xiaosheng pondered quietly.

Yet revealing that would leave Lin Weiwei dissatisfied...

Bai Xiaosheng glanced up casually and caught Lei Ying's knowing smirk directed at him, realizing she'd seen through it.

"Go on, keep going!" Lin Weiwei urged, fully engrossed.

As their discussion flowed, a full hour slipped by unnoticed.

To make good time, the car with Bai Xiaosheng and his companions, plus the leading vehicle, kept up a rapid speed.

While Bai Xiaosheng kept talking until his throat grew parched and he paused for a sip, their car started slowing drastically, crawling ahead at a snail's pace.

All three passengers spotted the change, Lei Ying going so far as to roll down the window for a peek at what lay ahead.

Until this moment, the driver had stayed silent during Bai Xiaosheng's chatter, but with the guests now hushed, he checked the road ahead and spoke in English to Bai Xiaosheng in the back seat, "Sir, ahead is the Luto Checkpoint, this section of the road frequently gets congested, we might have to wait a bit,"

Suddenly, the driver's phone buzzed. He answered it and nodded over and over, "Alright... Okay... I understand."

Once he hung up, the driver relayed to Bai Xiaosheng, "Sir, the Deputy Mayor Samba’s assistant has communicated with the checkpoint to open a special lane for us to pass through smoothly."

This news left Bai Xiaosheng stunned, as he'd assumed Mr. Samba's claim of them being Dilu City's most esteemed guests was mere polite talk—yet they were getting actual VIP perks.

"This doesn’t seem quite right..." Bai Xiaosheng murmured, feeling somewhat sheepish.
