Bai Xiaosheng visits Green Sky Company, impressing Old John with his subtle authority. Meanwhile, Jenny, a spy for Caroline of Zhenbei Group, discreetly contacts her superior to report on Bai Xiaosheng's activities and Green Sky's potential cooperation, setting the stage for future conflict.

The Vice Executive of the Africa region naturally leaned towards a partnership with the more advanced North American region, not solely for boosting performance but also for securing clandestine benefits.

Consequently, "Green Sky" politely sidestepped Dilu City’s proposal, citing internal restructuring as the reason.

Despite their meticulous planning, they had failed to anticipate Bai Xiaosheng’s inclusion in the Huaxia Business Group, and his serendipitous discovery of the local situation ignited a profound sense of curiosity within him.

At this precise moment.

"What do you mean you saw Bai Xiaosheng at Green Sky? He accompanied the Huaxia Business Group to Africa and somehow ended up there?" Miss Caroline exclaimed in shock upon receiving the report via telephone.

"However, he remains unaware that you are my operative, nor does he possess any information about me," Jenny assured Caroline with evident confidence.

Caroline’s voice, deep with gravity, came through the phone, "Then, you must ensure your identity remains concealed. As for old John… never mind, I am acquainted with the old fox from Green Sky Company; he understands the necessary course of action."

Caroline then mused aloud, "What could Bai Xiaosheng possibly be doing at Green Sky Company? Didn't Green Sky intentionally avoid engagement with the Huaxia Business Group?"

In response to Caroline’s query, Jenny swiftly replied, "Indeed, even old John rebuffed the local Deputy Mayor’s invitation, yet Bai Xiaosheng managed to find his way there. So, should I proceed with the clandestine discussions with old John?"

Bai Xiaosheng's reputation preceded him significantly in the North American region; even Caroline herself had suffered a substantial setback due to his actions, making it impossible for Jenny not to harbor apprehension.

Moreover, she had no desire to precipitate any issues that might invite Miss Caroline’s wrath upon her, given the numerous past instances…

Thus, Jenny sought Caroline’s direction by reporting the developing situation.

A silence descended upon the line, and Jenny, refraining from breaking it, waited patiently.

Finally, Caroline’s affirmative voice resonated through the phone, "Adhere to the established plan and await my further directives."

"Understood!" Jenny responded with immediate compliance.

Caroline’s tone softened considerably as she spoke kindly into the phone, "Jenny, tell me, how do you feel I have treated you?"

Jenny was momentarily taken aback by the question, then quickly responded with a laugh, "You have treated me more kindly than my own sisters! You have provided me with everything!"

"And what if I required you to make a small sacrifice for my sake?" Caroline inquired deliberately.

This question sent a shiver down Jenny’s spine, causing her breathing to quicken, "What sort of sacrifice, Miss Caroline?"

On the other end of the line, Caroline let out a hearty laugh, "I was merely jesting with you."

"Even if I were to request a sacrifice, rest assured that your gains would far outweigh any losses! When have I ever dealt unfairly with anyone?" Caroline added emphatically.

"That is true, truly true," Jenny hastily agreed with a laugh.

"Very well, remain vigilant and continue with the original plan; I shall contact you again later," Caroline’s voice was gentle.

The call concluded shortly thereafter.

Jenny held her phone, maintaining her posture for several seconds before lowering her hand and placing the device down, her gaze fixed on the dark screen with a complex array of emotions.

A faint sheen of perspiration dotted her forehead, a testament to the tension of the earlier conversation.

"If I am compelled to make sacrifices and I refuse, it likely spells my doom," Jenny murmured, "Miss Caroline, I sincerely hope you were merely joking!"

"This is truly frightening!"

Far away in Ganande, America, Caroline observed the phone on the table with an impassive expression, elegantly taking a sip of her coffee.

"Bai Xiaosheng, this individual; the slightest lapse in caution could result in a fatal error, thus I must ensure thorough preparations are made," Caroline muttered to herself, then a smile, reminiscent of a cunning fox spirit, bloomed on her lips. "What if I transform all these pieces into a sophisticated trap for Bai Xiaosheng, turning this entire situation into a major bomb, designed to signal danger yet compel Bai Xiaosheng to engage? Then, BOOM—"

Caroline suddenly let out a giggle, "The mere thought of it is quite amusing!"
