Vanas presented exceptionally generous terms from Hogson, which Bai Xiaosheng initially suspected was a clever long-term strategy. However, Bai Xiaosheng devised a counter-plan, identifying key concessions to withdraw, much to Vanas's surprise. Chen Feiqiu deferred to Bai Xiaosheng's judgment, leaving Vanas to question Bai Xiaosheng's intentions and the potential impact on Hogson's careful arrangements.

"Give and take—nothing wrong with that. After all, we’ve got a long road ahead of us! You can pass this line on to Mr. Hogson, and tell him it’s from me."

"What I just said is Oshan’s final response. If Mr. Vanas agrees, then Mr. Alger’s matter is concluded here, and we can draft the documents together."

"If you still insist on your terms, then we can only regretfully stop here and talk another day."

Bai Xiaosheng was about to terminate the discussion.

Chen Feiqiu looked absolutely certain and nodded on the spot.

But he still didn’t really understand what was going on.

Vanas couldn’t help asking, "Another day... and when exactly would that be?"

Bai Xiaosheng smiled. "In a week or two. During that time, I’ve been entrusted by Chief Ogade to meet one or two big names in the business world."

Entrusted by Chief Ogade... big names in the business world?

The first people Vanas thought of were Anlos and Brady.

"I think this works!" Alger, standing beside Vanas, looked anxiously at his uncle as he spoke.

He really had no idea what his uncle was still hesitating about.

Their side had already conceded so much profit to Oshan, and Bai Xiaosheng had only rejected two clauses—was that really so bad for them?

If this dragged on, new complications and sudden changes might crop up, and they’d be the ones to suffer!

Alger really couldn’t hold back anymore.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Alger and said with a smile, "Looks like Mr. Alger is on board. That’s good."

Facing Bai Xiaosheng’s praise, Alger forced a smile.

"Mr. Vanas, what about you?" Bai Xiaosheng turned to Vanas again.

"I need to make a phone call." Vanas thought for a moment and replied cautiously.

Bai Xiaosheng stood up directly, catching Vanas off guard.

"Mr. Vanas, you’re free to make calls, even go back and communicate further, no problem. But I’ve got other matters, so I can only stop here for today," Bai Xiaosheng said regretfully.

Chen Feiqiu also stood up. "Same here. Then let’s talk another day, Mr. Vanas."

The two of them played off each other perfectly, in complete sync.

Vanas and Alger stood up, and Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying followed suit.

Alger’s eyes were full of anxiety as he secretly nudged Vanas.

At this moment, Vanas didn’t want to walk away empty-handed, but he also felt it would be inappropriate to wreck Mr. Hogson’s overall layout. He was caught in a bind.

However, from the look of it, Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t going to budge today, and he probably wouldn’t budge in future talks either.

And if they failed to close this time, it might be a long interval before the next meeting, during which who knew what changes might occur.

What if Bai Xiaosheng went to Anlos and Brady? What if he brought in Huaxia enterprises to set up here...

In that brief instant, countless thoughts flashed through Vanas’s mind, and he felt his head was about to split, his brain aching.

In fact, thinking it through, even if Mr. Hogson’s plan took a bit of a hit, how serious could it really be?

At worst, they could just slowly rebuild the layout later.

Once he reached that conclusion, Vanas steeled himself and said to Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Feiqiu, "Gentlemen, I don’t need to make that call anymore. We’ll do it as Mr. Bai Xiaosheng said. Let’s sign the documents right now!"

Vanas had agreed.

Smiles immediately appeared on Bai Xiaosheng’s face as he proactively extended his hand. "Mr. Vanas, you’re truly a straightforward man. Here’s to a pleasant cooperation."

Chen Feiqiu also chimed in at just the right moment. "From today on, the Hogson Family will be Oshan’s most sincere friend."

Vanas forced a smile as he shook hands with Bai Xiaosheng, then with Chen Feiqiu.

Off to the side, Alger felt as if a great weight had been lifted, letting out a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart.

Once the two sides had reached an agreement, Chen Feiqiu immediately called someone over to draft the relevant documents on the spot.

Vanas busied himself right there with the process until everything was finished, not even having time to go to the restroom.

Once everything was settled and the documents exchanged, Chen Feiqiu put on a warm, enthusiastic expression and invited Vanas and Alger to dine with them.

It was already getting late; it was noon by then.

Vanas and Alger naturally wouldn’t turn down the invitation and agreed.

In the castle’s dining hall, Chen Feiqiu had people set up a banquet, and everyone went in together to eat.

With the contract concluded, both sides were in high spirits and had a hearty appetite. For a while, glasses clinked back and forth, and host and guests alike thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

At the banquet, both Vanas and Alger took the initiative to raise their glasses to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng’s way of doing things really left an extremely deep impression on them; even Vanas actually felt a kind of "fear" of Bai Xiaosheng in his heart.

Bai Xiaosheng, however, looked all amiable as he dealt with the two of them.

After they were full of food and drink, Vanas and Alger got up to take their leave. Chen Feiqiu made a token attempt to keep them, then saw them to the door.

After the two "guests" had left, Chen Feiqiu said to Bai Xiaosheng, "I know you have the habit of taking a nap at noon. Go back and get some sleep; I need to go report to my father."

Bai Xiaosheng naturally nodded.

The two sides parted ways right there in the restaurant.

Leaving Bai Xiaosheng and the other two to rest aside, Chen Feiqiu took the signed documents and hurried all the way to where his father and mother lived.

Chief Ogade had just finished his meal as well and was listening to music while Lady Daliya massaged his shoulders, loosening his muscles and bones.

After Chen Feiqiu went in, he presented the documents.

Chief Ogade flipped through those things; Lady Daliya silently looked along from the side, while Chen Feiqiu took the chance to recount everything that had happened.

The couple watched and listened, sometimes pondering, sometimes frowning.

"Was this really something that Bai Xiaosheng decided on the spot, without consulting you?" Chief Ogade put down what was in his hands and asked solemnly.

Lady Daliya also turned her questioning gaze to Chen Feiqiu.

It seemed they were not very pleased with Bai Xiaosheng making decisions on his own.

"Father, I feel that what Bai Xiaosheng did was also for Oshan’s sake. It’s best not to become too deadlocked with the Hogson Family—leave each other a bit of face so it’ll be easier to talk in the future." Chen Feiqiu explained for Bai Xiaosheng.

In fact, he had also sensed that there was something unusual in all this, just hadn’t thought it through in detail.

"I’m asking, did he consult you or not? Did he really make the call on the spot?" Chief Ogade asked again.

Chen Feiqiu had no choice but to nod. "Yes, he responded right there on the spot... but I believe he has his own reasons; it wasn’t a casual decision."

"And I also feel there’s something off in all this, though I can’t say exactly where."

Chen Feiqiu quickly added, "Maybe Bai Xiaosheng noticed that those two clauses had some hidden issues, so he rejected them to spare us some risks."

Chief Ogade and Lady Daliya couldn’t help but look at each other.

Just when Chen Feiqiu thought his father and mother were still going to express their dissatisfaction, he instead heard a conversation that left him stunned.

"I didn’t expect that Bai Xiaosheng to be so formidable. After what he did, I can also see that Hogson had hidden calculations in there!"

"So young, yet he has such sharp on-the-spot insight and decision-making ability. He truly lives up to being the leader of the Huaxia Business Group!"

"Looks like it was the right call to invite him to stay!"

"Awak Wak Lakla could also sense something was wrong—seems he really made the right friend and has been positively influenced!"

This exchange between the couple was far beyond what Chen Feiqiu had expected.

He had thought they would be displeased with Bai Xiaosheng, but they seemed to highly appreciate him instead.

"From now on, you need to learn more from Bai Xiaosheng. During the time he’s in Oshan, I’ll give him the greatest degree of freedom I can!" Chief Ogade declared.

Lady Daliya couldn’t help adding, "Isn’t that Bai Xiaosheng still unmarried? Awak Wak Lakla, you can go to him in private and introduce your younger sister to him."

Chen Feiqiu listened in a daze, only managing to keep nodding.

What on earth was going on?

On the other side, Vanas and Alger were in the car on their way back.

Vanas called Hogson and recounted what had happened from start to finish, emphasizing how hardline Bai Xiaosheng had been later, and that he had agreed to give up those two clauses only out of helplessness.

Actually, once he thought back on it, the more Vanas mulled it over, the more wrong it felt, and the more uneasy he became.

On the other end of the line, Hogson was silent. Only when Vanas was feeling nervous did he finally speak slowly.

"Things have come to this point; just leave it at that."

This was the first sentence!

"That Bai Xiaosheng... what a young opponent! If there’s a chance, I really would like to meet him."

This was the second sentence!

To be called an opponent even by Mr. Hogson!

Vanas was startled, his eyes abruptly narrowing.

That Bai Xiaosheng was that impressive!
