Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2455 - 1823: Strictly Business

After receiving Mr. Tike's call, Mr. Fiewood was utterly shocked and terrified to learn that Bai Xiaosheng had actually uncovered leads from the documents they'd provided. What was even more alarming was that Bai Xiaosheng had begun investigating their company, prompting Mr. Fiewood to interrogate his trusted aide, Matilda, for over two grueling hours.

Feeling wronged by the suspicion from her own superior, Matilda shut her door, her tears flowing as she affirmed her unwavering loyalty to Mr. Fiewood.

In reality, Mr. Fiewood himself had personally reviewed and scrutinized every document that was passed to Bai Xiaosheng via Matilda, ensuring no errors. Much of it Matilda had no involvement in, making it virtually impossible for her to have leaked any information.

Furthermore, for Matilda, such betrayal would only result in the loss of her income stream and career prospects, offering absolutely no advantage.

As the interrogation neared its end, Mr. Fiewood and Matilda found themselves jointly trying to pinpoint precisely where the problem might have originated.

Alas, by the time nearly the entire morning had elapsed, they still hadn't uncovered anything.

Just then, a knock echoed from the door of Mr. Fiewood's office.

Both individuals ceased their discussion, turning their gaze towards the door simultaneously.

Mr. Fiewood's brow furrowed deeply.

He had specifically instructed his secretary before questioning Matilda to postpone all appointments for the morning, ensuring he would not be disturbed.

So, what was happening now?!

"Come in!" Mr. Fiewood's voice boomed, his expression darkening, laced with a distinctly unfriendly tone.

The door creaked open, and the secretary cautiously peeked her head in. She immediately noticed Mr. Fiewood's displeased look, which startled her, and she hastily stammered, "Mr. Fiewood, you have a visitor..."

"Didn't I make it clear I'm not seeing anyone this morning? Are you not understanding my instructions?" Mr. Fiewood reprimanded harshly.

"It's Mr. Bai Xiaosheng!" the secretary quickly replied.

"No matter who it is, I..." Mr. Fiewood abruptly froze, his anger deflating as quickly as a pricked balloon.

"Bai Xiaosheng?!" Mr. Fiewood repeated, disbelief coloring his tone.

Matilda, standing beside him, also experienced a shift in her expression.

They had just been discussing Bai Xiaosheng, and now he was suddenly here!

"Do you wish to see him, or shall I send him away?" the secretary inquired cautiously.

Mr. Fiewood certainly had no desire to meet the so-called "plague god" from Huaxia, especially under these uncertain circumstances.

However, not meeting him was likely not a viable option either.

Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng's unannounced, sudden arrival stirred a significant sense of curiosity within Mr. Fiewood.

After a moment's thought, Mr. Fiewood concluded that a meeting was necessary. He immediately instructed the secretary, "Go, escort Mr. Bai Xiaosheng to the VIP room and ensure he's well taken care of. I will be there shortly!"

"Understood, Mr. Fiewood!" The secretary gave a swift nod, withdrew, and closed the door.

Once the door was shut, Matilda couldn't help but ask Mr. Fiewood with surprise, "What could Bai Xiaosheng possibly want?"

Mr. Fiewood simply shook his head, genuinely unsure of Bai Xiaosheng's reasons for visiting.

"We'll discover why when we meet; some encounters are unavoidable." Mr. Fiewood narrowed his eyes slightly. "Coincidentally, that gentleman also entrusted me with a task, so this is a perfect opportunity to gauge Bai Xiaosheng's intentions!"

...

Following Bai Xiaosheng's lead, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying entered Yorko Company's most exclusive VIP room, accompanied by Mr. Fiewood's secretary.

Their return to Yorko Company wasn't for an inspection, but rather for a different purpose entirely.

Bai Xiaosheng was dressed formally today, a black leather briefcase in hand, his demeanor exuding a slight air of stern seriousness.

The diligent secretary courteously served coffee and fruit to the trio before excusing herself.

Not long after, distinct footsteps could be heard approaching from outside the door.

The door then opened, and Mr. Fiewood entered, a broad smile on his face, with Matilda by his side.

Upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng, Mr. Fiewood's smile widened enthusiastically. "Mr. Bai, I never anticipated you'd find the time to visit again. Please accept my apologies for not greeting you sooner!"

In stark contrast to Mr. Fiewood's warmth, Bai Xiaosheng remained considerably more reserved, offering only a faint smile and a perfunctory handshake.

Matilda also extended her greetings to Bai Xiaosheng and his companions.

Bai Xiaosheng merely gave a slight nod, as did Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, maintaining an indifferent front.

Matilda sensed the underlying tension in the room and hesitated to speak further.

"Matilda made some regrettable errors during our previous meeting. My initial inclination was to dismiss her, but thankfully, her consistent performance has been commendable, so I decided to retain her services with the company," Mr. Fiewood elaborated specifically for Bai Xiaosheng and his group.

Otherwise, if Matilda had left the company and her absence was noted today, regardless of whether Bai Xiaosheng and his team harbored suspicions, the situation would have been difficult to explain publicly.

However, Bai Xiaosheng and his team appeared unfazed by this explanation, offering only slight nods in acknowledgment.
