Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2373 - 1787: The Honored Guest Has Arrived (2)
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
Noticing the awkward vibe in the air, especially with everyone gathered at his company, Luka hurriedly suggested, "How about we head to my office for some tea and a break? I’ve got premium black tea on hand. Let’s chat over drinks!"
Bai Xiaosheng smiled and nodded in agreement.
Filas and Laimu raised no issues either.
"No thanks, I’ll skip the tea. I’ve got tons of work, so I’m heading out." Kars brusquely refused, spinning around and departing before anyone could respond, grumbling in the local tongue, "Total waste of time!"
Luka sensed the embarrassment and shot a look at Bai Xiaosheng.
Even if this visitor from Huaxia didn’t grasp their dialect, the tone and faces revealed plenty.
This looked bad; it painted Nalinta City folks as rude.
"Mr. Luka, where’s your office? I want to talk more with you." Bai Xiaosheng remarked smilingly, acting completely unfazed.
Luka beamed back and gestured welcomingly, "Right this way, please!"
At the same time, as Bai Xiaosheng toured the ventures of the four tycoons, Nalinta City’s Deputy Mayor Tori rode back to city hall in a vehicle, seething with rage.
Nalinta City desperately craved foreign funds too, and from their showcase firms, only Filas and Kars stood out, while the rest were just passable.
They wouldn’t dream of every deal landing, but landing investment from even one or two would thrill them to no end.
Yet the Huaxia Business Group that showed up got snatched by Dilu City.
This issue won’t slide!
Right now, Nalinta City’s Mayor Send was in Banjiao City, hosting top officials alongside Huaxia Business Group leaders.
Gotta report this pronto.
Inside the car, Deputy Mayor Tori dialed Mayor Send at once, and after repeated tries with no pickup, he hung back patiently.
Moments later, Mr. Send rang Deputy Mayor Tori back.
Deputy Mayor Tori snatched up the phone swiftly.
"Mr. Tori, what’s the reason for your call? I’m tied up with key guests," Mayor Send sounded mildly irritated through the line.
"Here’s the deal, Mr. Send—there’s urgent news I need to fill you in on." Deputy Mayor Tori blurted out quickly.
He laid out the full story to Mayor Send next.
"Ah, that issue!"
Shockingly for Deputy Mayor Tori, Mayor Send was already in the loop!
"High-level meeting kept me from welcoming you personally. Truth is, once I wrap up, chatting about this tops my list for you."
Far from raging at the reduced visitor count, Mr. Send came across thrilled.
Deputy Mayor Tori stood dumbfounded, utterly perplexed.
Maybe fewer inspecting Huaxia merchants meant bigger rewards down the line?
"I got wind immediately of the small Huaxia team switching plans last-second to visit us. To clear up any confusion, their leader shared key details with me!" Mayor Send’s voice buzzed with thrill over the call, "The visitor’s that super young Huaxia businessman with a guy and girl sidekick, right?"
"Yes." Deputy Mayor Tori confirmed.
"Know the name of that young Huaxia guy?" Mr. Send probed with keen interest.
"He introduced himself as Bai..."
Mayor Send cut in before Deputy Mayor Tori finished, bursting with excitement, "Bai Xiaosheng full name—he’s Executive Director for Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region! In the Huaxia Business Group, he’s tight with almost two-thirds of the powerhouse firms on business and personal levels. Word is he can summon giants like Tengyun Group and Jia Group to pour money into any spot whenever!"
Deputy Mayor Tori froze, floored by the revelation.
He was aware Zhenbei Group ranked as a global finance titan. Lately, their city had chased Zhenbei’s Africa branch hard for investments, enduring three site visits without commitment.
Turns out that youthful Huaxia fellow was Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region Executive Director!
Unbelievable!
Naturally, powerhouses like Tengyun Group and Jia Group rang bells for Mr. Tori too.
Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t just a Zhenbei bigwig—he held sway to lure those titans for investments effortlessly?
Beyond comprehension!
Deputy Mayor Tori’s grip on the phone shook uncontrollably, excitement surging through him.
"Tori, do you keep up with financial news? That Huaxia tycoon who rattled the North American business world and gained worldwide fame—who might that be?" Mr. Send asked with great excitement.
"Is it... Mr. Bai Xiaosheng?" Deputy Mayor Tori blurted out in shock.
He remembered now—that was precisely the name!
Seeing that Deputy Mayor Tori had caught on, Mr. Send exclaimed eagerly, "It’s not the number of visitors that counts, but their caliber. Mr. Bai Xiaosheng by himself is more than enough! He’s worth two or even three full delegations!"
Deputy Mayor Tori swallowed hard despite himself, nodding in agreement as realization dawned.
Mr. Send, busy making a call and nodding along, missed that reaction entirely.
"By the way, did you receive that gentleman with proper hospitality? Was the etiquette fully upheld? Our welcome ceremony earlier wasn’t extravagant, but it showed no disrespect."
