Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2397 - 1797: Unbreakable Speed

Xisuli, the second nation graced by the Huaxia Business Group’s presence, boasted a territory and economic standing that significantly surpassed that of Naliya.

Moribido City, the initial destination for the business group within Xisuli, prepared an incredibly grand reception for Bai Xiaosheng and his entourage.

Even before the welcoming ceremony had fully concluded, Bai Xiaosheng felt his mobile device vibrate within his pocket, a sensation cutting through the surrounding crowd.

He subtly retrieved his phone and checked the screen, noting an incoming message from Lei Ying.

Accompanying the message were several photographic images.

Upon a single viewing, Bai Xiaosheng committed the contents of these pictures to memory. With the aid of Red Lotus, he proceeded to organize the retrieved information and, through a remote connection, accessed the company’s internal network to review pertinent data.

Following a series of enhancements, Red Lotus’s supportive functions now included the capability for remote logins. This feature was initially accessible by deducting points from Bai Xiaosheng’s score, but as his own level advanced, this 'fee' was waived, albeit with a restriction on monthly usage.

Bai Xiaosheng seldom made use of this particular form of assistance.

The photographs transmitted by Lei Ying depicted crucial contract details, impacting the company’s North American and African divisions, as well as five formidable medium-to-large enterprises.

These agreements appeared to be more than standard transactions; they resembled a sophisticated exchange of favors and mutual interests.

Despite having been mentally prepared for potential complications, Bai Xiaosheng could not help but feel a jolt of surprise at the sheer audacity of these individuals, openly engaging in such cross-continental dealings.

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression turned grave.

These contracts were never intended for public view, yet for both implicated parties, they carried an unusually strong ‘binding force.’ The underlying reason was that each side held incriminating evidence against the other.

If such matters were being formally contracted, it strongly suggested that this was far from an isolated incident.

With multiple companies participating concurrently in this intricate exchange of interests, it was almost certain that a figure like Caroline was orchestrating events behind the scenes for the North American division’s involvement.

The pertinent question then became: who was pulling the strings within the African division?

Utilizing Red Lotus for remote access, Bai Xiaosheng investigated and discovered that the enterprises involved in these contracts fell under the purview of the Deputy Executive Vice President of the African division. This individual emerged as the primary suspect, though the possibility of the African division's President or Executive President being implicated could not be dismissed.

At the very least, they were culpable for failing to detect these illicit activities.

Bai Xiaosheng had genuinely not anticipated uncovering such a significant ‘surprise’ upon his arrival to the African division in his capacity as the Deputy Head of the Headquarters Oversight Department. Regardless of whether it translated into performance points or a higher ranking, the impact was bound to be substantial.

However, this also pointed to deep-seated issues within the company’s senior management—vulnerabilities and potential disgrace!

Even with his eagerness to accumulate points and advance his level, Bai Xiaosheng harbored no desire for such a disruptive ‘surprise’.

His expression still tinged with concern, Bai Xiaosheng’s phone vibrated once more.

Lei Ying sent another query, seeking direction on the subsequent course of action.

‘Secure the items and await further instructions.’

Unable to communicate directly with Lei Ying at that moment, Bai Xiaosheng concisely typed his directive.

‘Understood.’ Lei Ying’s swift reply followed.

Following the temporary conclusion of the welcome ceremony, Bai Xiaosheng located a suitable, private spot and promptly made a call.

His call was not to Lei Ying, but to Wen Yan at the Ganande Headquarters.

Despite his somber mood, Bai Xiaosheng recognized the necessity of addressing the situation, especially given that it fell under his oversight responsibilities.

Considering the gravity of the matter, which implicated the highest levels of leadership in two major operational zones, Bai Xiaosheng felt compelled to inform Wen Yan, the head of the company’s headquarters oversight department.

He also intended to request support.

Bai Xiaosheng was confident that Wen Yan maintained oversight personnel within the African division, a jurisdiction that rightly belonged to the oversight department.

In this particular affair, Bai Xiaosheng suspected Wen Yan possessed certain insider knowledge.

Compromised only by the involvement of the two business presidents, he lacked definitive proof and was hesitant to act precipitously.

Certainly, even with ‘conclusive evidence’ now in hand, Bai Xiaosheng doubted it would intimidate someone of Caroline’s standing; at most, she might face a mild reprimand from the board members.

Finding a scapegoat to absolve herself, a maneuver that someone like Caroline could execute with considerable ease, was a likely outcome.

Even if pursuing this matter to its conclusion fails to unseat the true masterminds behind the operations on both sides, Bai Xiaosheng was resolute in his determination to ‘investigate and deal with it decisively.’

He would not stand idly by and permit their rampant actions simply because they seemed untouchable. If they dared to cross the line, their limbs would be severed, their feet hobbled, their predatory claws clipped one by one. Let the world see whether their pawns held greater sway or if the sword of regulation proved sharper!

"Hello, Sheng?" The call placed by Bai Xiaosheng was successfully connected, and from the other end, Wen Yan’s amiable voice emerged, "I heard you recently went to Africa with the Huaxia Business Group. What prompted you to give me a call? Is there some particular matter?"

It was apparent that attempting to establish a friendly connection was neither suitable nor the opportune moment for this situation.

Bai Xiaosheng decided against any pretense and stated directly, "Mr. Wen Yan, there is indeed a significant matter that requires attention!"

"Oh? What is the nature of this situation?"

Bai Xiaosheng’s slightly serious tone caused Wen Yan’s voice to adopt a more somber two degrees.

Through the telephone line, Bai Xiaosheng provided Wen Yan with a concise explanation of the circumstances he was facing.

Based on the responses received during the conversation, Bai Xiaosheng gathered that Wen Yan harbored some surprise but did not appear overly shocked.

Bai Xiaosheng surmised that Wen Yan possessed prior knowledge of certain unfolding events.

"As the Deputy Head of the Oversight Department at our headquarters, and being present on the scene, you have been granted full authority to manage this affair."

Ultimately, Wen Yan calmly inquired, "To be direct, you are calling me to ascertain how I can provide my assistance?"

When conversing with intelligent individuals, simplicity and directness were the most effective approaches.

Bai Xiaosheng not only secured the necessary authorization but also received a proactive offer of support from Wen Yan.

Without hesitation, Bai Xiaosheng articulated his needs, saying, "Mr. Wen Yan, I am currently short-handed on this end. I request that you reassign some local personnel from our department to provide temporary aid. Furthermore, you must be under substantial pressure back at Headquarters."
