Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2375 - 1788: The Grand Collaboration

Deputy Mayor Tori came back utterly transformed, displaying fervent zeal towards the young Huaxia entrepreneur—a complete reversal from his earlier apathy.

Filas, Laimu, Luka, and the freshly returned Kars watched in stunned silence, convinced Deputy Mayor Tori must have swallowed some strange potion.

"I indeed had a pressing issue to handle, but the moment it was resolved, I hurried right back," Deputy Mayor Tori chuckled.

He started off by offering apologies to Bai Xiaosheng.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, standing beside Bai Xiaosheng, shared knowing smirks.

Rumors held that Nalinta City’s offices lay far from this spot; was it feasible for him to return so swiftly? Given Mr. Tori’s sudden attitude flip, they suspected he’d uncovered Bai Xiaosheng’s real background and power en route, racing back to seize the chance with this powerhouse tycoon and massive deal.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying could surmise it, and Bai Xiaosheng naturally could too.

Yet Bai Xiaosheng stayed calm, smiling as he expressed thanks, "Appreciate your hard work, Mr. Tori."

"Not at all!" Deputy Mayor Tori waved it off with a grin, his gaze keen as he addressed Bai Xiaosheng, "How do you rate our local companies, Mr. Bai? Anything that catches your eye, or maybe some feedback or ideas? We’d value it greatly!"

Filas and Laimu arched brows at that, deeming it somewhat excessive.

Had the guest been a renowned Huaxia magnate like Lu Yun, Jia Chengshan, Dong Tianlu, or Lu Tiandao, it wouldn’t seem overdone—such deference could yield surprises. But fawning so on a youthful novice felt extreme.

To Filas and Laimu, Deputy Mayor Tori’s favoritism towards this youngster smacked of political gamesmanship.

Luka eyed Mr. Tori and Bai Xiaosheng with curiosity, puzzled by the shift.

Nearby, Kars’s gaze darted, watching events unfold intently.

"Mr. Tori, you flatter me. I’m hardly qualified to critique or advise," Bai Xiaosheng replied smilingly, "Mr. Filas and Mr. Laimu’s ventures boast unique merits worth praising. Mr. Luka’s operation impresses me the most."

This marked Bai Xiaosheng’s courteous observation.

Deputy Mayor Tori nodded approvingly, flashed Luka a grin, then faced Bai Xiaosheng again, "Really? Excellent!"

Noting Bai Xiaosheng’s silence on more, Deputy Mayor Tori eyed Kars curiously, then courteously asked Bai Xiaosheng, "Mr. Kars is with us too. Care to comment on his business, Mr. Bai?"

Deputy Mayor Tori figured Kars had departed early without escorting Bai Xiaosheng, unaware Kars had actually "slammed the door" in his face.

All eyes turned instinctively to Kars.

A wave of discomfort hit Kars.

Kars reckoned that if Deputy Mayor Tori stuck to his old aloofness, rejecting this Huaxia businessman posed no issue. But Tori’s complete turnaround made things dicey— it could signal defiance of Mr. Tori’s directives, risking their prior municipal backing...

"Well, here’s the thing: Mr. Kars had business elsewhere, so I skipped his facility before, sticking to these three ventures," Bai Xiaosheng explained with a smile.

His phrasing remained graciously mild.

By Lin Weiwei’s standards, they ought to have blasted Deputy Mayor Tori hard, refusing to drop it.

After all, they hadn’t traveled here for insults. Kars’s haughtiness had repulsed them.

Upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s account, Kars mustered an uneasy grin, bobbing his head at Deputy Mayor Tori, "Correct, correct, but I’m free now, so we can visit anytime."

Ever perceptive, Deputy Mayor Tori caught on instantly, shooting Kars a frosty look without a word.

That stare chilled Kars to the core.

"We’re ready for that tour now, Mr. Bai. Shall we?" Kars pivoted to Bai Xiaosheng.

Should Bai Xiaosheng consent, the incident might fade away.

This Huaxia fellow appeared sensible, even shielding him moments ago.

Kars fully expected Bai Xiaosheng’s nod.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying shot Kars icy stares.

What did he take them for—discard them sans profit, then beckon when gains beckoned?

In this world, such cheap wins didn’t exist!

Bai Xiaosheng boasted patience and forgiveness, yet wasn’t spineless.

True to form, Bai Xiaosheng offered Kars a mild, courteous smile, "I believe it’s unnecessary."

This Huaxia man had outright refused him!

Kars instantly felt a wave of displeasure and was poised to speak up.

"Since Mr. Bai has decided, we must respect his decision!" Deputy Mayor Tori addressed Kars in a gentle but resolute tone, his gaze piercing.

Kars's thoughts whirled rapidly, prompting him to snap his mouth shut at once.

Deputy Mayor Tori shifted his smile to Bai Xiaosheng. "Actually, Mr. Bai, we have many outstanding enterprises in this city beyond these four. However, due to your limited time, we've arranged them into smaller visiting groups for convenience, focusing on these relatively centralized four as one viewing point. If you're interested, I can take you to visit other companies!"
