Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2395 - 1796: Bai Xiaosheng’s Decision (2)

Bai Xiaosheng observed Lei Ying, who was locked in intense contemplation. It appeared they were on the same wavelength. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Bai Xiaosheng inquired with a grin. Lei Ying mirrored his smile. "It seems we share the same thought. Trust me to handle this.". "I have faith in you," Bai Xiaosheng affirmed, nodding pleasantly. Their hushed exchange left Lin Weiwei perplexed as she scanned their surroundings, attempting to grasp the situation. Finally, unable to contain her curiosity, Lin Weiwei entreated, "Could you two cease the veiled conversation? Just speak plainly, I'm right here." Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying turned to Lin Weiwei, chuckling. "If you continue like this, I'll actually get upset!" Lin Weiwei declared with a pout. Were they treating her as an outsider, or perhaps underestimating her intellect... "Don't you grasp it? Sheng wants me to acquire those documents that woman possesses, and we'll ascertain their authenticity upon sight. I can guarantee this entire process will occur without her noticing. Once I confirm for Sheng, we'll strategize our next move!" Lei Ying elucidated to Lin Weiwei. "That's the gist of it," Bai Xiaosheng concurred with a nod. Discreetly verifying the information and then determining the subsequent course of action—while not the most ingenious plan, with Lei Ying involved, it was undeniably the most effective approach. After all, Lei Ying was once a phantom on the battlefield; the target might not even realize they'd been infiltrated after his thorough investigation. "Remarkable," Lin Weiwei couldn't help but exclaim. Bai Xiaosheng addressed Lei Ying, "You remain here and resolve those pending matters over the next couple of days. We shall maintain remote communication and then finalize our plan." "The thrill of infiltrating enemy lines and pilfering intelligence is returning," Lei Ying's lips curled into a confident, sharp smile. ... At precisely 2:15 PM, all members of the Huaxia Business Group convened in the first-floor lobby, engaging in conversation. The news of Bai Xiaosheng receiving commendation from Naliya had already circulated. Lu Yun, Jia Chengshan, Lu Tiandao, Dong Tianlu, Zhang Qinglin, and Wang Xuantian—the preeminent business magnates within the group—collectively extended their congratulations to Bai Xiaosheng. After all, being lauded by one nation and then praised by one's own homeland represents a monumental honor. Businessmen typically prioritize two key elements: reputation and financial gain. Achieving both in any endeavor marks one as exceptional, earning the admiration of even these elite figures. Furthermore, Bai Xiaosheng had acted as a unifying force, integrating everyone into an implicit grand business alliance, reminiscent of ancient 'Alliance Hierarchs,' and maintained cordial relationships with all, fostering a sense of closeness. Even those with more distant connections were observed discreetly pointing and discussing Bai Xiaosheng from across the room. Eventually, Hou Yuncheng emerged with the leaders of the business delegation, signaling for everyone to assemble for a briefing. The hubbub subsided. Hou Yuncheng, on behalf of the higher authorities, publicly commended Bai Xiaosheng. An immediate wave of applause swept through the hall, with Lin Weiwei, standing beside Bai Xiaosheng, clapping with particular vigor, her face radiating a brilliant smile. However, Lei Ying was conspicuously absent; he had already departed for Dilu City to commence his investigation and verification as per Bai Xiaosheng's directive. Bai Xiaosheng had already briefed the group leaders regarding Lei Ying's departure. Since Lei Ying was not an official member of the business group but merely an associate, and considering Bai Xiaosheng's considerable influence, the leaders had readily assented. Following the commendation ceremony, Hou Yuncheng announced the business group's imminent departure for their next destination—Xisuli. The distinguished businessmen present gathered their belongings and followed the leaders in an orderly fashion, with the waiting buses ready to transport them to the airport. Amidst the throng, Bai Xiaosheng cast a glance in the direction of Dilu City, his eyes holding a flicker of anticipation, hoping for swift, favorable news from Lei Ying... ... In Dilu City, at 6:00 PM local time. Within a private chamber at an upscale dining establishment near the "Green Sky" company, Old John was hosting Jenny for dinner. The two dined in solitude, partaking in a French culinary experience, savoring each course deliberately, a setting conducive to both eating and conversation. "Miss Jenny, how did you find yourself in such a severe conflict with that fellow Bai? Was it merely an encounter on the road? Did nothing transpire beforehand?" Old John inquired, slowly chewing a succulent piece of steak. "I heard from Zack that you even contemplated publicly humiliating him." If they had indeed cornered that individual named Bai at their "Green Sky" company, it could have precipitated significant complications. Naturally, Old John remained unaware of Bai Xiaosheng's true identity; otherwise, he would likely have lost his appetite for the evening.

"How would I know what kind of background he has? If I knew, I would have stayed far away from him, and could have tolerated any conflict," Jenny responded, taking a sip of white wine. Her words held a hint of ambiguity.

Jenny had also chosen not to reveal Bai Xiaosheng's true identity to Old John.

Had she done so, the cunning old man across from her might have escalated the situation, perhaps even reporting it to his superiors, which could jeopardize their current cooperation.

This was an outcome Jenny desperately wanted to avoid.

After all, she had journeyed a great distance, and the unexpected encounter with Bai Xiaosheng was a significant twist. If any further complications arose, she would have no easy explanation for Miss Caroline.

In Jenny's opinion, now that Bai Xiaosheng had departed, whether she mentioned his presence or not made little difference...

Even if Bai Xiaosheng were still present, once the cooperation agreement was signed, she would depart. Any subsequent issues would then fall outside her purview...

Old John was likely unaware that Jenny had also concocted a strategy that included him.
