Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2412 - 1802: Face-to-Face Meeting_3
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
Bai Xiaosheng, a person of great diligence and resolve, sought to foster collaboration at the slightest opportunity.
After acknowledging Hou Yuncheng with a nod, Bai Xiaosheng promptly descended the stairs.
In the first-floor lobby, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were already present, and the driver procured by Hou Yuncheng was waiting. No moment was to be squandered.
The driver, who was associated with the embassy, possessed considerable familiarity with the locale.
"Let's depart. We should arrive in Kaido City in two hours," Bai Xiaosheng announced to the group.
"Two hours?!" The driver, tasked with piloting the vehicle, expressed a moment's hesitation. "Isn't that cutting it a bit close? Perhaps two and a half hours would be more sensible."
Both Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying turned their attention to Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng offered the driver a reassuring smile. "Just drive as swiftly as you safely can. We are already making haste. The exact time difference, whether more or less, I can manage through communication on the way."
The driver, accepting Bai Xiaosheng's words, led them directly outside.
Before long, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions were en route to their destination.
During their journey, Bai Xiaosheng engaged in further discussion with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.
If Mr. Brown proved amenable to setting aside past grievances, Bai Xiaosheng was prepared to explore in-depth cooperation with the company under his purview. He even contemplated offering more advantageous terms initially, recognizing that peace breeds prosperity and harmonious relationships ensure enduring success. A mutually beneficial outcome was certain, provided both sides maintained amicable relations.
Time seemed to fly, and over two hours had passed in what felt like an instant.
As the skyline of Kaido City began to materialize, Bai Xiaosheng reached for his phone, intending to call Mr. Brown and inform him of their slight delay.
Their vehicle was already operating at the posted speed limit; there was genuinely no capacity to accelerate further.
However, Bai Xiaosheng's attempts to connect resulted in nothing but busy signals. He tried calling twice.
He surmised that Mr. Brown might be occupied, recalling that he was supposedly inspecting the "Xuanjin" company.
With this thought, Bai Xiaosheng put his phone away.
He reasoned that further attempts to call might prove irritating, which would be counterproductive.
Moreover, the two missed calls served as evidence of his promptness to communicate. Mr. Brown would inevitably notice and respond when he had the opportunity.
Therefore, Bai Xiaosheng ceased his efforts to call.
Their car soon entered Kaido City, and the driver navigated towards the "Xuanjin" company building, guided by the GPS.
What truly constituted a major corporation could be witnessed here. The presence of "Xuanjin" was discernible everywhere in this district, adorning buildings and even street names, leaving Bai Xiaosheng and his team truly astounded.
This enterprise seemed to operate as a self-contained world.
Upon reaching the imposing "Xuanjin" company headquarters, a structure soaring dozens of stories high, it exuded the aura of a significant international entity.
Bai Xiaosheng and his team bid farewell to their driver and entered the building. They proceeded directly to the reception desk to announce their arrival and purpose.
The receptionist promptly placed a call.
Shortly thereafter, a pleasant-faced black gentleman emerged, introducing himself as one of Mr. Brown's assistants. He extended a warm greeting to Bai Xiaosheng and his party.
The assistant escorted Bai Xiaosheng and his team to a meeting room situated on an upper floor. They were invited to take seats, and coffee was promptly served.
Bai Xiaosheng and his companions felt assured that Mr. Brown would soon make an appearance. However, as time wore on and no one arrived, it began to feel as though they had been entirely forgotten.
After a protracted wait of two hours, Bai Xiaosheng and his group could no longer contain their unease and dispatched someone to summon the assistant who had initially welcomed them.
"Where is Mr. Brown? When can we expect to meet him?" Bai Xiaosheng inquired directly.
After all, Bai Xiaosheng's current standing was by no means inferior to Mr. Brown's; it was unreasonable to remain waiting indefinitely as if meeting a superior.
The young black assistant offered an immediate grin, revealing a set of white teeth. "Mr. Brown? He is not in the city at present; he has departed on an excursion. Mr. Bai, you arranged to meet Mr. Brown two hours later, correct? You have surpassed that agreed-upon time. Our Mr. Brown is exceptionally punctual! Lateness by even a single minute is utterly unacceptable!"
