Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2436 - 1815: Crybaby Woman

The incorrect material displayed on the screen was swiftly corrected. Fiewood, the General Manager of Yorko Company, did not pause to address the technical team or issue reprimands, recognizing the impropriety of the moment. He promptly returned to the stage's center.

"Esteemed colleagues in the business world, I offer my apologies for the brief disruption that just occurred, consuming two minutes of your valuable time. However, as recompense, I have resolved to shorten my address by that same duration. Rest assured, there is no cause for concern, as the omitted material was nothing of critical importance, merely a personal introduction. It is, regrettably, a bit painful for someone like myself who enjoys discussing my own merits."

Fiewood injected a touch of levity, earning a wave of laughter that effectively smoothed over the awkwardness of the preceding incident.

"Now, let us proceed directly to the core subject. Everyone, please direct your attention here..." Following this, Fiewood operated a laser pointer, indicating the screen as he commenced the formal exposition of his presentation's content.

The assembled attendees fixed their gazes upon the screen, the recent mishap fading from their immediate thoughts.

Conversely, Bai Xiaosheng shifted his attention elsewhere.

The female secretary who had mistakenly displayed the wrong content clasped her hands together nervously, her gaze fixed on Fiewood at the podium, her eyes conveying a mixture of timidity and pitiable distress.

Having fumbled the opening in front of such a distinguished audience and caused Fiewood a moment of embarrassment, she apprehended severe repercussions in the aftermath.

In the professional sphere, particularly in specialized roles, an individual's words and deeds carry inherent accountability.

After all, everyone is an adult, expected to bear responsibility for their own errors.

While Bai Xiaosheng felt a twinge of sympathy for her plaintive expression, he did not allow excessive compassion to cloud his judgment; rather, his curiosity was piqued by the misplayed document itself.

Seated behind Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying had drawn close, examining enlarged photographs that Lei Ying had captured.

Initially, Lin Weiwei had intended to show Bai Xiaosheng the images, but the current circumstances made it inappropriate, as such an action would draw too much attention.

Earlier, amidst the disarray, a brief exchange with Bai Xiaosheng had been possible, but in the present quietude, it was clearly unsuitable.

Unbeknownst to Lin Weiwei, Bai Xiaosheng’s fleeting glances had already committed an image to his memory, sharper and more distinct than any photograph. Furthermore, Red Lotus, the advanced artificial intelligence, was capable of conducting a thorough analysis.

At this moment, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were engrossed in a hushed conversation.

"For such a document to be mistakenly displayed suggests that woman must be closely associated with General Manager Fiewood, otherwise, she wouldn't possess access to it."

"Precisely!"

"We only glimpsed a single page; subsequent pages likely hold more crucial information. I hadn't anticipated Yorko Company's involvement. I recall the data indicating its direct affiliation with Mr. Tike; how then is it intertwined with enterprises managed by Cilio? Could our discoveries merely be scratching the surface?!"

"No, I believe it resembles an internal investigative report. The content appears innocuous when viewed in isolation. Only those of us familiar with these problematic enterprises can discern the related patterns. Therefore, I surmise it's an internal investigation report compiled by Yorko Company, which, through its specialized channels, uncovered further leads, rendering it exceptionally valuable to us!"

"So, afterward, should we seize the opportunity to request it, perhaps under the pretense of being from the Group's Head Office Surveillance Department?!"

"Your strategy is somewhat simplistic. Although Tike and Cilio oversee distinct divisions, both fall under the purview of the Group's Africa Division. Whether they would consent to providing it remains uncertain. Even if we were to forcibly request it in the name of the Group's Head Office, they could easily redact or tamper with the critical data."

"Then, what course of action should we take?"

"Let us await the conclusion of this event and ascertain Sheng's perspective..."

"Alternatively, we could focus our attention on that woman. Lei Ying, you are quite resourceful; surely you can handle one woman?"

"Don't phrase it like that; you are also a woman, and I find myself unable to 'handle' you..."

"Oh, look who's being playful now. I shall inform your wife later..."

The pair conversed in whispers barely audible to those nearby, akin to the buzzing of mosquitoes.

However, Bai Xiaosheng, seated in the front, could discern every word. With the exceptional assistance of Red Lotus, filtering out ambient noise and amplifying specific vocalizations was an effortless task.

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze drifted towards the female secretary, identified as Matilda, his eyes narrowing slightly.

That particular woman indeed presented a potential avenue for advancement...

The presentation spanned forty-five minutes, nearing its conclusion. Fiewood's command of the schedule was remarkably precise.

"Ten distinct visit projects have been prepared with meticulous care. With the exception of the final two, which are quite concentrated, the initial eight offer a broader range of opportunities. It's understood that not all our business associates will find every project equally appealing. Recognizing the value of everyone's time and the potential impracticality of focusing on each individual project, we encourage you to freely explore the first eight at your own pace. Vice-presidents have been stationed at each relevant site to provide detailed introductions. For the final two, more centralized projects, I will personally provide the explanations."

Fiewood outlined the planned visit itinerary to those present.

The guests gathered below the stage responded with approving nods.

Generally, when the host sets the agenda, especially with arrangements as thoughtful as those from Yorko Company, objections are rare, particularly when the plan appears sensible.

It was likely that local leaders would have minimal interest in the initial, segmented visit opportunities. Therefore, this provided a perfect chance for a break and for more in-depth discussions with the leaders of the Huaxia Business Group.
