Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2406 - 1800: This Is No Small Matter (Part 2)

Jiang Kuo felt a surge of anxiety, urging Bai Xiaosheng to handle Mr. Brown with extreme caution, warning of potential major setbacks that could even endanger the entire Asian region.

"I wasn't underestimating him; that's not what I meant," Bai Xiaosheng clarified, realizing Jiang Kuo had misinterpreted his intention. "I was merely pointing out that this corporate corruption could artificially inflate someone's achievements on paper within the contract. This might allow an undeserving individual to become the primary candidate after Mr. Brown. Due to these inflated achievements, they could even deceive Mr. Brown and secure his recommendation. If that happens, the problematic person would seize control of the entire African region, instantly cleansing their record, making it nearly impossible to find any evidence against them. By simply being patient and enduring, they could establish themselves as a deeply entrenched corrupt element. In the long run, I felt compelled to act!"

The logic behind Bai Xiaosheng's explanation held substantial weight, leaving Jiang Kuo momentarily speechless.

Moreover, the situation had reached a point where further discussion would likely prove futile.

With a sigh, Jiang Kuo addressed Bai Xiaosheng, "That Mr. Brown, he is quite… vain. He's also exceptionally confident, believing the African region he's overseen for so many years is impeccable. Now, as he's preparing to step down, you're exposing a nest of termites there on his behalf. This is undoubtedly a public humiliation for him in front of the entire group. Mr. Brown is… rather… petty…"

Jiang Kuo's genuine concern for Bai Xiaosheng was evident in his candid words.

Understanding Jiang Kuo's benevolent intentions, Bai Xiaosheng expressed his gratitude with a smile. "You don't need to worry. When the time is right, I will contact Mr. Brown immediately to have a proper conversation."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Kuo interjected, "No need. Even if I gave you his number, you wouldn't be able to reach his personal phone for the entire afternoon."

"Why is that?" Bai Xiaosheng inquired, visibly taken aback.

"Because he is likely on a plane right now, en route to Africa. If all goes according to plan, he should arrive at Naliya International Airport by evening," Jiang Kuo stated. "I suspect you might encounter him in Africa!"

This news genuinely surprised Bai Xiaosheng.

His prior interactions with Mr. Brown had been minimal, meeting only a few times, and he didn't truly grasp the man's character.

Even after Jiang Kuo's description, Bai Xiaosheng retained only a faint impression of the man.

However, considering his potential anger and the possibility of an imminent clash in Africa, it seemed the elder possessed a rather volatile temperament, possibly quite stubborn and difficult to manage.

This sentiment wasn't exclusive to Bai Xiaosheng; Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, who had been overhearing the conversation, exchanged looks of surprise.

It appeared being ensnared in a scheme wasn't limited to their predicament. Was Mr. Brown being weaponized to stir up trouble for them?

Indeed, that presented a significant challenge!

While concluding the call, Bai Xiaosheng discreetly checked the time. It was growing late, and he needed to return promptly for the luncheon to avoid causing delays to important matters.

"Mr. Jiang, I comprehend everything you've explained. I will find an opportunity for a candid discussion with Mr. Brown in person. However, I must end this call now as the luncheon with the business delegation is about to commence, and I don't have further time to chat," Bai Xiaosheng conveyed into the phone.

Jiang Kuo, aware that Bai Xiaosheng wasn't engaged in personal matters, readily understood and offered a few parting words before terminating the call.

Putting his phone away, Bai Xiaosheng addressed Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, "What must happen will happen. Prepare yourselves mentally, but try not to worry excessively. You both should return to the banquet hall and enjoy the meal; I will join you shortly."

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying nodded in agreement without delay.

The trio then parted ways, each heading towards their designated banquet halls.

Upon Bai Xiaosheng's return, the main banquet hall's luncheon was indeed on the verge of beginning. A substantial number of political dignitaries had already arrived, mingling with Huaxia's diplomats.

Bai Xiaosheng's assigned seat, positioned directly beside Hou Yuncheng's, clearly indicated his significant standing.

"You certainly took your time in the restroom," Hou Yuncheng remarked in a low voice as Bai Xiaosheng rejoined him.

Bai Xiaosheng offered a smile, understanding that in such a formal setting, if Hou Yuncheng initiated a conversation, it likely signaled the prelude to a more significant matter.

As anticipated, Hou Yuncheng promptly continued, "While you were away, we finalized a preliminary agreement with key figures from Moribido City. After the luncheon, please find me; I require your assistance!"

The fact that Hou Yuncheng employed the word "ask" – an indication of politeness – immediately surprised Bai Xiaosheng.But before Bai Xiaosheng could inquire further from Hou Yuncheng, a gathering of individuals approached to converse with him. These prominent figures represented various other cities within the Xisuli nation. Observing Hou Yuncheng engage in conversation with them while a smile played on his lips, and as an increasing number of people drew near, Bai Xiaosheng let out an internal sigh. It became apparent that in such a bustling environment, an opportunity to speak privately with Hou Yuncheng would likely not arise. With no alternative, Bai Xiaosheng decided to postpone the conversation, resolving to find Hou Yuncheng after the banquet concluded. After a considerable duration, the banquet commenced in an "official" capacity. Yet, as speaker after speaker took to the stage, delivering their addresses, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions found themselves applauding more than twenty times. The meal eventually began, but Hou Yuncheng and the other esteemed guests were continually interrupted, being called away frequently, barely getting a chance to eat before their food grew cold. Bai Xiaosheng, while feeling a sense of empathy for the arduous efforts of Hou Yuncheng and the others, simultaneously felt a surge of relief that he did not possess the same level of renown as individuals like Lu Yun, who were also being swarmed by the admiring figures of Xisuli's business community. Bai Xiaosheng simply remained seated, savoring his meal in solitude, experiencing a profound sense of peace.
