Lin Weiwei glanced involuntarily at Bai Xiaosheng, pondering if they should voice out to offer some aid.
Bai Xiaosheng gave a subtle shake of his head, his gaze signaling her to hold on just a little more.
"So, Mr. Zack, are you truly refusing to give even Mr. Samba some respect?" Secretary Mr. Keke remarked in a grave voice, his face darkened with displeasure toward Vice President Zack.
Vice President Zack quickly forced a grin, "Mr. Keke, what are you talking about? I haven’t uttered a word yet. It’s Mr. John’s call if he meets you or not. Allow me to inform him of your arrival, but please bear with us and stay here briefly."
Mr. Keke’s expression turned sour, "When Mr. Samba arrived, he headed straight in for talks, yet now you insist we linger out here."
Before Zack had a chance to reply, Jenny chuckled and interjected, "Isn’t it simply because your Vice Mayor isn’t present?"
"Do they believe they can waltz up to Mr. John for a direct response?" Jenny sneered while eyeing Bai Xiaosheng.
This amounted to yet another layer of insult.
Mr. Keke glared furiously at Jenny and parted his lips.
Before words escaped him, a voice boomed, "What this young lady claims holds truth. But with my arrival now, surely I can meet Mr. John without delay?"
The voice rang out powerfully, laced with deep frustration, echoing from beyond the entrance.
Zack, Jenny, Keke, and the rest spun around instinctively.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying lifted their gazes, one filled with shock, the other curiosity.
Bai Xiaosheng, on the other hand, revealed a knowing grin.
Looks like I won’t need to intervene and take center stage; the perfect ally has shown up!
A throng poured into the hall from outside, spearheaded by Vice Mayor Samba.
Yet in that instant, the usually beaming elder sported a face ashen with rage.
Given Samba’s status as the city government’s number two, his presence demanded widespread deference, even softening Vice President Zack’s smug sneer into something more deferential.
In essence, when top officials clash directly, they impose an immense pressure on business figures.
"Mr. Samba, what brings you here?" Vice President Zack asked with a forced smile after a brief pause.
Vice Mayor Samba shot him a brief look, nodded curtly, and marched purposefully toward Bai Xiaosheng. Passing Jenny, his eyes narrowed as he sized her up.
Jenny responded with a smile of her own.
Backstabbing happens in shadows, but up close, nobody risks outright rudeness.
Ignoring the crowd, Mr. Samba approached Bai Xiaosheng right before all eyes, his stern features blooming into a warm, genial smile like spring thaw. "Mr. Bai, your concerns take priority in my book. I rushed here right after wrapping up my duties. It’s unacceptable to leave you standing around like this."
All those gathered inhaled sharply, staring at Bai Xiaosheng in utter shock.
Such deference from the formidable Mr. Samba toward this youth?
Just what origins does he possess to wield such influence?
Mr. Samba pressed on, "En route, the Mayor called me. Though absent from the city, he learned of your visit and ordered me specifically to host you properly!"
The Mayor himself regards him so highly!
The assembly reeled in fresh astonishment.
"I view Mr. John as a valued friend to our city. Come, I’ll escort you to him personally—who would dare block our path!" Mr. Samba declared boldly.
He intends to pave the way himself.
Disbelief filled every gaze fixed on Bai Xiaosheng.
The once-dominant Secretary Mr. Keke suddenly brimmed with confidence and stepped forward to lead.
They advanced inside with bold strides.
Vice President Zack appeared utterly wilted, abandoning Jenny as he scrambled after them, his followers in tow.
In a flash, Jenny faded into obscurity, ignored by all.
Yet right then, Jenny creased her brow, "What title did that Vice Mayor use for him? Mr. Bai?"
