Inheritance of Two Trillion Chapter 2635 - 1903: An Unexpected Encounter
Previously on Inheritance of Two Trillion...
After reaching an agreement with the Hogson Family, Chen Feiqiu went to see his parents, while Bai Xiaosheng returned to his room for a nap. Upon waking, it was already two in the afternoon, and Bai Xiaosheng felt refreshed.
Before long, Chen Feiqiu came to find him, suggesting they go out to sea for fishing.
Oshan, being a coastal country, requires just over an hour’s helicopter ride from the Supreme Chieftain’s palace to reach the Supreme Chieftain’s private beach.
The waters there are clear, the sands white, the sky blue, and the sea vibrant, making it very pleasant.
Bai Xiaosheng had heard Chen Feiqiu mention it a few times and wanted to have some fun there.
Without hesitation, they invited Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, making it a group of four that boarded the helicopter and set off.
The journey was uneventful.
Upon arriving at their destination, it was exactly as Chen Feiqiu described.
The beach wasn’t exactly deserted; there were some handsome men and beautiful women playing and frolicking. The area is open to the public, but the standards are high, and everyone present is from wealthy families.
The group changed into swimwear, enjoying the beach, sunshine, and waves, then took a yacht out to sea where they gathered on the deck to compete in fishing while chatting.
"I handed the documents regarding the Hogson Family to my parents and explained everything. They were very satisfied with the outcome and praised you highly, stating that knowing you is the best decision I’ve made in the past decade. They essentially think the friends I made before and the things I did were a waste," Chen Feiqiu grumbled with some frustration.
Bai Xiaosheng watched the float on the sea and simply smiled.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a smile.
It seems the Supreme Chieftain and his wife were very satisfied with Bai Xiaosheng’s actions.
Chen Feiqiu glanced at Bai Xiaosheng again and said, "Honestly, I haven’t seen them praise anyone so highly in recent years, and both have a unanimous attitude."
"I’m particularly curious about how you refused the Hogson Family’s two investments in Oshan yet received such high praise. Hey, teach me so I can show off a bit too."
Chen Feiqiu had always been curious about this, sensing something was off, but couldn’t figure it out.
Chen Feiqiu then jokingly said to Bai Xiaosheng, "Moreover, you know what? One of them suggested I learn more from you, and the other suggested I ask you whether you want to take another wife or even two. After all, in Oshan, there’s no issue with that."
At Chen Feiqiu’s joke, Lin Weiwei immediately laughed with both anger and amusement.
Lei Ying remained focused on fishing, completely uninterested.
Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes at Chen Feiqiu, "Can’t afford it."
"Our dowries are quite generous," Chen Feiqiu retorted, eager to continue the banter.
Bai Xiaosheng embraced the humor and playfully scolded him.
Regarding Chen Feiqiu’s earlier curiosity, Bai Xiaosheng decided to explain.
Later, Bai Xiaosheng revealed the true purpose behind Hogson sending Vanas and Alger to Chen Feiqiu.
Hogson, under the guise of an apology, actually sought to quietly penetrate Oshan’s commerce, avoiding interference from the other two giants.
It turned out there was a deeper intrigue involved!
Chen Feiqiu was truly stunned by the revelation, finding it incredible.
"I rejected their two major investments, which are crucial points in Hogson’s plan. This could delay their original plans by several years, giving Oshan ample opportunity to make alternative arrangements. Essentially, their growth momentum is held by Oshan!" Bai Xiaosheng continued to explain. "And pressed by circumstances, fearing complete exposure, they had to agree temporarily. Of course, if Vanas contacts Hogson in time, it might be another situation."
"No wonder you were so aggressive, not giving Vanas a chance," Chen Feiqiu exclaimed in admiration, then looked at Bai Xiaosheng in disbelief, asking, "You realized all this back then!"
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, taking the acknowledgment in stride.
With that, Chen Feiqiu swallowed hard, looking at Bai Xiaosheng in amazement, "No wonder my parents praised you so much! You’re simply not human, how is your mind so sharp? Without you..."
"Your hook is snagged." Bai Xiaosheng said.
"Yes, I know." Chen Feiqiu thought Bai Xiaosheng was referring to the Hogson’s secret plan, "Without you, I definitely would’ve fallen for it..."
"I’m talking about your fish being hooked." Bai Xiaosheng grimly pointed at the sea.
"Oh, really!" Chen Feiqiu finally realized, fumbling to handle his fishing rod.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, watching from the side, couldn’t help but chuckle and admired Bai Xiaosheng even more.
With Bai Xiaosheng’s reminder, Chen Feiqiu managed not to lose the big fish, securing it in the bucket.
Looking at the magnificent sea fish, he couldn’t help but grin foolishly, "I’ve never caught such a big one before."
Bai Xiaosheng remained seated, barely glancing at it.
Chen Feiqiu turned to Bai Xiaosheng, "I heard from my father you plan to make significant long-term business moves in Oshan; he supports this. Is it true?"
"Yes."
Bai Xiaosheng candidly replied, "That’s why I accepted the title of Special Business Advisor to help Oshan deal with the Hogson Family. I still need to go meet with Anlos and Brady for negotiations and resolve the issues with these two threats."
Hearing this, Chen Feiqiu perked up.
"Hey, take me with you," Chen Feiqiu eagerly ran to Bai Xiaosheng’s side, "Before today, I thought politics and economics were dull, but after today’s experience, it seems quite intriguing."
"Then why not become his disciple?" Lin Weiwei joked.
Lei Ying also laughed, "Sounds like a good idea."
Chen Feiqiu laughed heartily, playing along with their banter, "I have no problem with that."
"No way." Bai Xiaosheng immediately declined, "I don’t have the skills to teach anyone."
In truth, he wanted to avoid hassle.
Chen Feiqiu persistently pleaded for a while, but Bai Xiaosheng remained unmoved.
"We’ll talk about this later." Chen Feiqiu said, "Let’s discuss your next steps, when you’re planning to meet with Anlos and Brady."
Bai Xiaosheng didn’t seem rushed about answering.
"What’s the hurry? We just finished negotiations with Hogson. Let’s take a break and wait for a while."
Hearing this, Chen Feiqiu felt a bit let down, urging, "Striking while the iron’s hot is beneficial—seize the opportunity to deal with them; you’d be setting a record then."
Bai Xiaosheng was uninterested in records, continuing to focus on his fishing float.
Chen Feiqiu persisted in urging him.
However, Bai Xiaosheng had already made up his mind.
Some things are better taken slowly than rushed; the situations with the three giants differed, demanding tailored strategies for meetings.
At that moment, Lin Weiwei suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, look, isn’t that yacht heading towards us? Won’t it collide with us later?"
Her shout prompted everyone to look over.
Indeed, a huge yacht was coming straight toward them.
"Are they attempting an assassination on my turf? I’ll have the bodyguards ready!" Chen Feiqiu shouted, preparing to leave the deck for the cabin.
In reality, he was notifying his subordinates to prepare for evasive action.
Before Chen Feiqiu could leave, Lei Ying calmly said, "No rush! Look, isn’t the guy on that deck waving at us familiar?"
Everyone looked over, and Chen Feiqiu paused, gazing over.
"He does look familiar!" Lin Weiwei murmured.
Bai Xiaosheng naturally saw it too, and a smile emerged on his lips as he said a name, "Milo."
Milo being there was truly unexpected for everyone.
Chen Feiqiu recognized him too, though it was more of a familiar face, not much of a relationship.
Beside Milo stood a middle-aged man, radiating an impressive aura, smiling.
Upon seeing him clearly, Chen Feiqiu’s eyes narrowed, and he couldn’t help but say to Bai Xiaosheng, "Looks like your ’don’t rush’ plan might be falling through."
"Anlos, how does he have the spare time to accompany his son out for a trip, and still coming on my turf!"
Chen Feiqiu exclaimed in amazement.
Upon hearing Anlos’ name, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying couldn’t help but focus their attention.
Bai Xiaosheng remained seated on the deck, merely lifting a hand to wave to Milo with a smile, muttering to himself, "Why come here? Perhaps it’s fate."
