Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2414 - 1803: An Unexpected Change (Part 2)

It appears this individual had been waiting for an excessive duration, and it was evident they were seeking an outlet for their pent-up frustrations, essentially looking for a confrontation.

I’m afraid I lack the capacity to manage such strong emotions; thus, it would be prudent to promptly escalate this matter to higher authorities for their judgment!

The secretary, after considering this, nodded hesitantly and then withdrew.

"Sheng, what are you...?" As soon as the secretary departed, Lin Weiwei couldn't refrain from inquiring.

Lei Ying also seemed somewhat perplexed.

Bai Xiaosheng’s actions were often theatrical, a fact well-known to those who were familiar with him, but what was his objective this time? Was he aiming to secure a meeting with the general manager of Xuanjin Company?

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression had regained its composure, and with a smile, he replied, "Just wait and see."

The secretary who had delivered the coffee exited the reception room where Bai Xiaosheng and his companions were situated. First, they located the young black man from earlier and proceeded to relay the entire situation in meticulous detail.

Upon hearing the account, the young black man couldn't help but let out a soft chuckle. "This person certainly seems quite incensed and is actively seeking a dispute."

"Precisely! So… will you go and see him?" the secretary inquired with a touch of apprehension.

The young black man immediately waved his hand dismissively. "Mr. Bai specifically requested your general manager; what purpose would it serve for me to go? It would simply be an invitation for scolding. It’s far better to have your general manager handle this. After all, Mr. Bai holds a status comparable to Mr. Brown; he's effectively a leader within the group, and failing to meet him would indeed be seen as inappropriate. What Mr. Bai desires are merely good tea and a pleasant lunch, which are hardly monumental requests..."

Internally, the secretary couldn't help but grumble: You're simply unwilling to shoulder the responsibility and want to shift it onto our general manager instead...

"Very well, I will summon our general manager to come over." The secretary gave a nod of assent.

In roughly the time it takes to savor a cup of coffee, the door to the reception room, where Bai Xiaosheng and the others were waiting, swung open. A capable and sharp middle-aged black man strode in purposefully, wearing a hard hat and dressed in work attire, with the same secretary from before following closely behind.

The moment this middle-aged man entered, he exclaimed loudly, "Where is Mr. Bai! Oh my, how terribly impolite of me! I was conducting an early inspection at the construction site and was unaware of your arrival! How regrettable this oversight is!"

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged glances, a sense of amusement bubbling within them.

The individual who had just arrived was also quite adept at putting on a performance!

Who could possibly claim that all foreigners were inherently straightforward and simple-minded? Anyone who managed to ascend to such a position was undoubtedly a person of considerable complexity.

The secretary responsible for the coffee delivery guided the middle-aged man towards Bai Xiaosheng and made the introductions. "This is Mr. Bai!"

"Mr. Bai, this is our company, 'Xuanjin’s,' general manager—Mr. Ande."

Mr. Ande swiftly extended his apologies to Bai Xiaosheng, bowing slightly with a smile and extending his hand. "Mr. Bai, the lapse in meeting you promptly is entirely my fault, my fault indeed. I have procured some exceptionally fine Huaxia green tea and have already instructed a staff member to prepare it for you; it will be served shortly. Furthermore, at midday, I would be honored to invite you to partake in some exquisite local specialty dishes. What are your thoughts on this proposal..."

This Mr. Ande certainly demonstrated remarkable enthusiasm and courtesy.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled as he shook Mr. Ande's hand, replying, "Mr. Ande, those matters are not of immediate urgency. Our priority is to first visit your company’s subsidiary factories to examine the new materials and cutting-edge technologies. You have four industrial parks, twelve factories, and six research centers surrounding your facilities; I intend to complete the tour before noon."

Upon hearing this request, Mr. Ande’s smile faltered slightly.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying suddenly grasped the underlying intention.

Bai Xiaosheng’s earlier maneuver wasn't merely to compel the general manager of 'Xuanjin' Company to appear, but rather to scout the premises.

Had he made the request directly from the outset, the other party might have evaded the request, playing coy and deflecting.

"This… might not be entirely appropriate." Mr. Ande’s smile twisted into a grimace as he responded to Bai Xiaosheng with evident awkwardness. "Mr. Bai, while we are all integral parts of the Zhenbei Group… you, after all, hold the position of Executive President for the Asia region, whereas our company is a significant entity within the Africa region. This matter… pertains to certain trade secrets..."

Bai Xiaosheng let out a laugh.

"Mr. Ande, you yourself acknowledged that we are all part of the same group, not external entities. What could possibly be wrong with visiting a colleague’s company? We are merely conducting a visit, taking a look around. Do you truly believe we could absorb and perfectly recall everything simply by observing?"

Bai Xiaosheng’s statement left Mr. Ande utterly speechless, without a retort.

In all honesty, while Bai Xiaosheng's assertion about instantly remembering everything might be unbelievable to others, it was entirely within his capabilities...

Naturally, Mr. Ande remained unaware of this fact.

"I am not authorized to make such a decision; my company reports directly to Mr. Brown..." Mr. Ande hesitated, seeking an excuse.

This justification felt somewhat weak and unconvincing.

"In that case, will you contact Mr. Brown immediately? That would be wonderful! I’ve been trying to reach him myself but haven't been able to get through. I was beginning to wonder if Mr. Brown might be occupied." Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile.

Mr. Ande's smile stiffened slightly as he quickly responded, "I cannot get in touch with Mr. Brown. I was unable to reach him just now..." Clearly, Mr. Brown was actively sidestepping this individual, and Mr. Ande dared not attempt contact himself.

Bai Xiaosheng, unfazed by the awkwardness, simply shrugged. "Since you can't reach him, no approval is needed. Just take us for a visit..."

"However, this..." Mr. Ande appeared quite troubled.

He was, without a doubt, outmaneuvered by Bai Xiaosheng, finding himself in a rather sticky situation.

Bai Xiaosheng cast a glance towards Lin Weiwei, conveying a silent message with his eyes.

Lin Weiwei, possessing sharp intellect, understood instantly. She promptly retrieved Bai Xiaosheng's identification and presented it to Mr. Ande.

"Mr. Ande, if you deem my executive president identity too inappropriate for visiting your crucial departments, perhaps this identity would be more suitable?" Bai Xiaosheng proffered the documents to Mr. Ande.

Upon examining the documentation, Mr. Ande recognized it as a card fashioned from titanium alloy. A small, golden emblem was intricately set in the center, its design distinctively identifying it as belonging to the headquarters' inspection department!
