Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2396 - 1796: Bai Xiaosheng’s Decision (Part 3)

Seeing Jenny’s reluctance to elaborate, Old John, aiming to keep the meal from becoming awkward, quickly chuckled and remarked, "Thankfully, their business group departed this afternoon. That 'Bai' also left, and no cooperation was reached with us. Whatever conflicts or difficulties arose, it's all in the past now. Moving forward, our collaboration is what matters most."

Jenny immediately smiled, raising her glass to Old John.

After a sip of wine, and with no one else present, Old John leaned in and spoke softly, "Miss Jenny, did you bring the items from your end? My superior places great importance on the performance and profits from our official partnership, but he is even more keen on our clandestine dealings. After all, that's where the real money lies!"

Two forms of cooperation exist: one for reputation, the other for profit.

This was the agreed-upon price with Miss Caroline.

Observing Old John's expression, Jenny chuckled, "I brought them, rest assured!"

The reason for executing both overt and covert agreements is to provide each party with leverage. This step is indispensable.

"And—" Jenny continued, "Before departing, Miss Caroline requested I convey a message to your superior... The business president in the African region may soon be retiring. Miss Caroline mentioned that she and Vice Chairman Morgan will provide strong backing for that gentleman at the upcoming headquarters meeting. Do not dismiss him merely because he currently holds the position of deputy executive president; he has a genuine chance to surge ahead and become the business president!"

As the saying goes, when one achieves the Dao, even their associates rise. Once the leader is promoted, everyone associated naturally benefits.

Old John's face lit up upon hearing this news.

Even at his advanced age, the prospect of further advancement, coupled with the irresistible lure of expanded fame and fortune, brought him immense joy. What could be more delightful?

"Excellent, excellent! I shall extend my gratitude in advance on behalf of that gentleman for your side's support. Once our associate assumes the role of African region business president, our collaboration will deepen, and we will forge an unshakeable alliance at the headquarters!"

At this juncture, Old John recalled something and added, "However, the retiring business president, that elder gentleman, possesses a rather formidable sense of pride, bordering on the extreme. When he observes two subordinates vying for his position, will he be angered, step in, or perhaps even favor the opposing candidate?"

"What is there to fret about? Everything will be managed by appropriate channels. At worst, we can simply wait until that old gentleman steps down, and then commence the contest," Jenny replied dismissively.

In her estimation, Old John was needlessly concerned. Was this truly something he ought to be overthinking?

"Right, right, there's no need to concern ourselves with the dealings of the higher-ups. Let's focus on the matters at hand," Old John couldn't help but cast a glance at the handbag Jenny had placed on the table, inquiring hesitantly, "Miss Jenny, you wouldn't possibly be carrying those contracts in such a diminutive bag, would you?"

Old John's question provoked a burst of laughter from Jenny.

"Whatever are you implying? This is merely my personal purse; the items you seek are secured in the room."

Perceiving Old John's slight apprehension, Jenny chuckled and reassured him, "Fear not, I've placed them within a safe valued at ten thousand US dollars. This safe is impervious; it cannot be forced open, and even exposure to fire would not compromise its security. During the brand's integrity tests, several elite lock-picking specialists attempted to breach it, all without success!"

"It's truly that formidable?" Old John inquired, his eyes widening.

"Made in America, American quality!" Jenny declared with evident pride.

Meanwhile, within Jenny's chamber, the very safe she had lauded so highly stood open.

Lei Ying, having finished packing his tools, collected the documents within using his gloved hands. He casually remarked, "This safe is considerably less capable than in the past. Ha, truly, each generation falls short of the previous one."
