Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2382 - 1791: Throw Him Out!
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
The following morning, Bai Xiaosheng together with his two associates headed to the hotel restaurant to grab breakfast. Jenny, staying in the room right above theirs, skipped coming downstairs and ordered room service as always. If she had shown up, they could very well have crossed paths.
The hotel's restaurant featured refined decorations and a serene ambiance. All the patrons were prominent figures who strictly upheld proper manners. Whenever they spoke, it was in faint murmurs so quiet that folks at the neighboring table couldn't catch a word.
Bai Xiaosheng and his group naturally lowered their voices too.
A few of Jenny's male associates were also lodged at this very hotel. They arrived for breakfast just moments before or after Bai Xiaosheng's party, with only a decorative partition separating their tables.
Still, that screen ensured neither side noticed the other throughout the meal.
Over breakfast, Bai Xiaosheng directed Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, "This morning, we’re going to visit Green Sky Company. Try not to use the group identity. Avoid any related information in speech or actions. Just mention we are from the business delegation."
Lei Ying nodded energetically while devouring his breakfast, signaling his agreement.
"But back when Green Sky didn’t accept Dilu City’s proposal to host our business delegation, if we go there rashly under the business delegation’s identity, won’t we be turned away?" Lin Weiwei voiced her concern.
From yesterday's thorough analysis of gathered intel, Bai Xiaosheng had deduced that Green Sky Company probably rejected Dilu City's hosting offer to stay under the radar, hiding Zhenbei Group’s imminent Africa plans from public eyes.
Yet, could passing up such a prime business chance truly boil down just to "keeping a low profile"? Or lurked something far stranger beneath?
This mystery gripped Bai Xiaosheng's curiosity the most.
Pursuing that reasoning, the company might well rebuff their approach, leading to a polite brush-off or outright denial.
Sure, if Bai Xiaosheng pushed with his rank as deputy head of the group's HQ oversight division, even Zhenbei Group's African business president couldn't block him.
However, the situation hadn't escalated there yet, and no solid proof confirmed any real problems on their end.
Part of Bai Xiaosheng's Africa trip aimed at forging partnerships, so storming in and stirring conflict from the start would be unwise.
Bai Xiaosheng reflected on the African business president—a formidable black elder who stayed impartial during past HQ power struggles, siding with neither the "Western faction" led by Vice Chairman Morgan and North America rep Caroline, nor the "Eastern faction" of Cheng’an and Li Yunyuan. His position remained balanced and adaptable.
To be blunt, Bai Xiaosheng preferred not to antagonize this key player, potentially needing his backing for future group matters.
Weighing these factors, they definitely required a solid "introductory wedge" for today's visit to the "Green Sky" company.
Bai Xiaosheng polished off his borscht, dipping bread to scoop the last bits, and noticed his companions had finished and were eyeing him. He dabbed his mouth, grinned, and said, "Let’s go. It’s not convenient to call Deputy Mayor Samba here."
Did Bai Xiaosheng intend to leverage his bond with Deputy Mayor Samba?
At those words, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying shared a quick look.
Back in their room after breakfast, Bai Xiaosheng had already saved Deputy Mayor Samba’s office number on his phone.
He shut the door upon entering and dialed personally.
"Hello, may I speak with Deputy Mayor Samba..."
"I don’t have an appointment. Please tell Mr. Samba that a friend from the Huaxia business delegation would like to speak with him..."
As he held the phone, a grin soon spread across Bai Xiaosheng’s face while he continued, "Is this Mr. Samba? Was yesterday’s cooperation satisfactory?"
...
Bai Xiaosheng conversed with Mr. Samba for roughly ten minutes before hanging up himself.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, standing nearby, picked up on Mr. Samba’s eager tone through the call.
"Soon, Deputy Mayor Samba will dispatch someone to accompany us to ’Green Sky’ company. Backed by Dilu City’s government clout, they’ll smooth the way. ’Green Sky’ must establish local operations eventually, and while it might snub the city once, it won’t risk it twice. Entrepreneurs hate burning bridges," Bai Xiaosheng explained.
Hearing that, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying nodded right away.
The trio relaxed in the hotel room, patiently awaiting the next step.
Thirty minutes later, an official vehicle arrived at the hotel entrance, identical to the ones that transported Bai Xiaosheng and his entourage to Nalinta City the previous day.
Deputy Mayor Samba dispatched this car today specifically to collect Bai Xiaosheng.
Ahead of it stood a seven-passenger van positioned toward the hotel doors.
Its door stood ajar, with a woman climbing inside, trailed by a few men.
Had Bai Xiaosheng and his group spotted them, they would instantly identify Jenny and her associates.
Once Jenny and her crew departed, the vehicle from Deputy Mayor Samba inched ahead, and the chauffeur then rang up Bai Xiaosheng and his team.
Moments later, Bai Xiaosheng along with his companions descended from upstairs.
The envoy from Deputy Mayor Samba offered a warm, deferential welcome to Bai Xiaosheng and his group.
These were, after all, the distinguished visitors whom Deputy Mayor Samba had stressed must be handled with utmost care.
On this occasion, though only a single representative came from Deputy Mayor Samba, that driver was in fact his top secretary, far surpassing the status of yesterday's escorts.
The dispatch of just one individual stemmed not from any reduced fervor toward Bai Xiaosheng and his companions today versus yesterday by Deputy Mayor Samba. Rather, it followed Bai Xiaosheng's earlier agreement with the deputy mayor that a large entourage wasn't necessary – a simple greeter would do.
True to Bai Xiaosheng’s preferences, the deputy mayor’s chief secretary arrived solo.
Following the courteous salutations, the secretary politely ushered Bai Xiaosheng and his companions aboard the vehicle.
The car then departed the hotel, speeding straight toward Green Sky Company. Their exit synced nearly perfectly with Jenny and her team's, suffering scant lag.
Bai Xiaosheng was already aware the hotel lay merely a short half-hour jaunt from Green Sky Company.
En route, Bai Xiaosheng conversed with the deputy mayor’s secretary on various matters concerning "Green Sky."
Through this high-ranking secretary, Bai Xiaosheng discovered that during the prior visit, Deputy Mayor Samba had gone in person to urge Green Sky’s involvement in the inspection tour. Yet it overlapped with Green Sky claiming some trouble, necessitating so-called internal reforms that barred public access. The responsible party offered profuse apologies, courteously rebuffing Dilu City government’s overtures.
This rang loudly like a mere pretext.
The circumstances aligned precisely with Bai Xiaosheng’s earlier predictions.
Evidently, Mr. Samba’s last trip had soured, compelling "Green Sky" to extend some politeness this round.
"Mr. Bai, upon arrival, I’ll reach out and claim you’re Mr. Samba’s personal friend dropping by unofficially – that’ll leave them no outs!" declared the deputy mayor’s senior secretary.
Bai Xiaosheng gave a nod, replying, "Okay."
They then shifted to other topics.
Their exchange hastened the trip’s passage.
The vehicle bearing Bai Xiaosheng and his group pulled into a structure’s parking area, where through the glassy facade, Bai Xiaosheng glimpsed the massive "Green Sky" signage and emblem adorning the edifice.
The group alighted and marched directly to the building’s doorway, stepping inside to approach the front desk.
Right upon entry, Deputy Mayor Samba’s senior secretary parted from Bai Xiaosheng and company, striding briskly forward to make initial contact.
Everyone here recognized Deputy Mayor Samba’s secretary from the previous encounter, so they dropped all else to promptly connect with the general manager’s office.
Bai Xiaosheng and his two escorts lingered calmly near the lobby’s entryway.
Right then, a throng surged through the lobby’s outer doors.
At the forefront strode a man and woman, encircled by a swarm of aides and staffers.
Lobby "Green Sky" staffers caught sight of the man in the cluster and snapped to respectful attention, while casting intrigued glances at the woman.
The pair advanced amid chuckles and chatter.
"Not only did Mr. Zack provide a car for me, but there was a welcome event in the lot too; I’m really honored," the woman remarked laughingly.
The man called Zack, a refined middle-aged Caucasian, grinned and responded, "Miss Jenny represents a key American delegate, so extending our warmest reception is only fitting. Regrettably, Mr. John faces pressing duties and delegated me, the vice president, to greet you. The reception might seem modest, yet it conveys our firm’s heartfelt hospitality."
This woman was none other than Jenny.
Currently clad in sharp business wear, she radiated poise and the captivating allure of a city professional.
"I’m truly undeserving," Jenny replied with an elegant smile.
As she was talking, Jenny detected a figure up ahead and reflexively raised her eyes.
Jenny's cheerful smile froze solid in an instant.
By chance, Bai Xiaosheng spotted her at the same moment.
She recognized that strikingly familiar face she could never erase from memory.
"It’s you again!" In front of everyone, Jenny blurted out in shock, rage, and a hint of frenzy.
The perfect white-collar beauty facade shattered immediately.
Vice President Zack stood there stupefied, shifting his gaze from Jenny to the Huaxia man across from her.
All onlookers froze in disbelief, staring at the elite American white-collar woman who had suddenly gone berserk, utterly baffled.
"Nice to see you again, Miss Jenny..." Trapped in this awkward scene, Bai Xiaosheng had no choice but to flash a refined smile and address the woman whose name he had just picked up.
"Why are you here, what are you doing here?!" Jenny paid no heed to the surrounding crowd, bellowing furiously straight at Bai Xiaosheng.
This Huaxia man filled her with pure revulsion, her face flushing crimson at the mere glimpse of him.
Vice President Zack eyed Bai Xiaosheng with mounting curiosity.
Why was Miss Jenny freaking out so intensely over this guy? Did they share some secret connection...?
Vice President Zack remained clueless that Miss Jenny's tie to Bai Xiaosheng boiled down to nothing but "deep-rooted hate" and "fear."
Misfortune dogged her steps wherever Bai Xiaosheng showed up!
Under Jenny's barrage of questions and the scrutiny from Green Sky Company's newly encountered vice president, Bai Xiaosheng steadily revealed his intent, "I’m here to meet Mr. John."
In order to stay low-key and mask his background, Bai Xiaosheng purposely opted for a deferential title.
Vice President Zack prepared to chime in.
However, Miss Jenny lost it first, "You’re not welcome here! Mr. Zack, please have someone throw him out for me!"
