Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2420 - 1806: Tike Takes Action
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
Brown’s animosity towards Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t solely because Bai Xiaosheng had nearly shattered his tranquil retirement dreams. It was also due to the near catastrophe that almost landed Brown’s own son, Cilio, in prison. This was a transgression Brown could absolutely not abide.
Moreover, the Africa division, meticulously built by Brown over many years, was suddenly plunged into disgrace, becoming a spectacle for mockery. This humiliation was something he found incredibly difficult to stomach.
Consequently, Brown harbored immense fury and resentment towards Bai Xiaosheng.
And merely
Tike did not refuse outright, but a moment of hesitation crossed his face. "The enterprise that Bai Xiaosheng is targeting is of considerable importance. Dispatching others might not lead to smooth negotiations as in the past. Perhaps I should handle it personally?"
After a brief period of contemplation, Brown conceded, "Very well, you may go."
Tike acknowledged the directive with a nod and then withdrew from the room.
Once outside the office door, Tike adjusted his demeanor, casting a subtle glance back at the door before proceeding on his way.
Inside, Brown was occupied with mapping out his future engagements, recognizing that his presence couldn't be extended indefinitely.
Meanwhile, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions were already en route in a vehicle provided by Hou Yuncheng, making their way toward the enterprise scheduled for their inspection that day.
This particular enterprise was a globally recognized conglomerate, holding substantial significance.
Within the car, Lin Weiwei couldn't refrain from voicing her thoughts to Bai Xiaosheng, "Sheng, are we truly just going to negotiate with this enterprise as if nothing has happened?"
A sense of mild grievance lingered with Lin Weiwei.
Bai Xiaosheng maintained a relaxed expression, even offering her a smile as he replied, "And what else would you have us do, perhaps seek an audience with Mr. Brown for a pleasant discourse?"
"Even if we went, obtaining an audience might prove difficult," Lei Ying chimed in, subsequently looking at Bai Xiaosheng and asking, "But honestly, won't you extend an offer of reconciliation via a phone call?"
Lei Ying, who had once possessed a more volatile temper and was prone to responding to aggression with equal force, had cultivated a measure of restraint through years of association with Bai Xiaosheng.
"Reconciliation? Then have we committed an offense, or has someone misinterpreted our actions?" Bai Xiaosheng countered.
Lei Ying simply offered a shrug in response.
"Previously, I extended considerable courtesy, showing deference to the senior figures within the group. I believe I have demonstrated this on two separate occasions," Bai Xiaosheng stated. "This time, there is no need to involve him; we shall proceed directly with our business negotiations. Should Mr. Brown still insist on interfering this time around, it would be… overstepping."
Bai Xiaosheng declared with a hint of coldness, "I possess a temper as well!"
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged meaningful glances, their agreement evident in their firm nods.
Bai Xiaosheng had evidently endured sufficient provocation!
In truth, they too had felt a growing unease for some time, contemplating the imposition of countermeasures, their only restraint being the concern that Bai Xiaosheng might object.
Now, they found themselves brimming with eagerness, a subtle sense of anticipation building—
Hoping for Brown to make another move, thus providing them with just cause to settle their long-standing grievances!
"Very well, let us set aside these thoughts for now. We should use this time to thoroughly review our objectives and determine the best approach for securing a mutually beneficial cooperation with that enterprise."
Bai Xiaosheng urged them to engage in discussion within the car.
Concurrently, Tike was also en route to the very same enterprise that Bai Xiaosheng and his contingent were bound for.
Within Tike's vehicle, the usually affable and somewhat portly Tike displayed an uncharacteristic sobriety, his eyes gleaming with an intense light.
This particular sharpness in Tike's gaze was something Cilio had never before witnessed.
"Perhaps this opportunity will allow me to finally encounter the esteemed Mr. Bai Xiaosheng!"
