Bai Xiaosheng finds himself sought after by various influential figures, while also making progress on resolving the power station and port issues. He plans to delegate further support for Tieluoga and his own expansion into Zhengdong Province. Meanwhile, Auston approaches Bai Xiaosheng privately with a request concerning potential insider dealings within Bai Xiaosheng's Zhenbei Group and its subsidiaries, hinting at a North American family involved.

Bai Xiaosheng was ostensibly assigned by the top management to go to Oceania to help the Sixth Business Division of the group resolve the current predicament.

In reality, he was there to complete the task released by Red Lotus.

In addition to this, Bai Xiaosheng had two other objectives.

First, he wanted to expand the membership of his Global Business Alliance and make full use of the resources here to develop business and meet the needs of his alliance members.

Second, he had long been aware that the Caroline Family and the Morgan Family had extensive operations in Oceania. As the second-in-command of the group headquarters’ monitoring department, he came to "cause trouble".

One could say that before Bai Xiaosheng arrived, his target was already set on Caroline and Morgan.

Caroline, needless to say, is an old rival, constantly setting traps for Bai Xiaosheng in the shadows.

Of course, Bai Xiaosheng would not show compassion, repeatedly tolerating this woman.

Not to mention, Caroline has done quite a few things to harm the interests of the group in private.

How could Bai Xiaosheng tolerate her!

Then there’s Vice Chairman Morgan, compared to Caroline, she is simply insignificant.

Over the years, Vice Chairman Morgan has been rampant at the group headquarters, using his position to form factions for personal gain, which is plain to see.

No one would believe that Morgan hasn’t done anything to harm the group.

However, in North America, the Morgan Family and businesses under the Zhenbei Group rarely interact, almost having no dealings, seemingly deliberately avoiding each other.

Yet the Morgan Family’s main business hub is in Oceania.

It’s quite peculiar for a North American giant family to have their business hub in the numerous island nations in Oceania.

In recent years, the Caroline Family’s business has also tilted towards this area, explaining the issue even further.

Bai Xiaosheng specifically looked into it; the Morgan Family’s business has expanded extremely rapidly over the years, remaining unaffected by numerous global financial crises, which even impacted the Zhenbei Group. Whether the Morgan Family is siphoning resources from the group to feed their own is intriguing to consider.

For both public and personal reasons, Bai Xiaosheng will not let these two individuals off the hook.

Furthermore, if Bai Xiaosheng wants to become a vice chairman in the future, a position needs to become vacant.

Naturally, his sights are set on Vice Chairman Morgan.

Right now, after a conversation with Mr. Auston, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly became vigilant.

Over the years, Bai Xiaosheng has seen several cases of using group resources to help one’s own business.

Bai Xiaosheng’s first reaction was that Caroline and her cohorts were doing exactly that.

Of course, there are still some puzzling aspects.

The Sixth Business Division in Oceania is Mrs. Margery’s territory. Could she really dare help Caroline and the Morgan Family seek private gain?

The Morgan Family started operating here early on. If there were such lucrative opportunities to annex the group’s interests, why would they let the Caroline Family join in and benefit?

Bai Xiaosheng relies on what he knows to deduce the rationality and possibility of these scenarios.

Vice Chairman Morgan once helped Mrs. Margery during a major turmoil where she almost collapsed and faced imprisonment, showing righteous support.

With multiple acts of gratitude, it seems understandable for Mrs. Margery to assist as she does today.

As for the relations between the Caroline Family and the Morgan Family, Bai Xiaosheng has some bold and novel speculations.

Could the Morgan Family intentionally lure the Caroline Family to use the group resources to seek private gain, turning them into a "money laundering" tool...

The Caroline Family takes the first wave of profit and then discreetly shares it with the Morgan Family.

Isn’t the Morgan Family then safer and harder to be held accountable?

Of course, this is the simplest approach.

It’s very likely that there are various forms of benefit exchange between the two families.

Caroline might not be unaware of the risks involved, but she wouldn’t, nor dare, refuse Vice Chairman Morgan since she relies on him for protection.

Moreover, there are benefits involved!

From a capitalist perspective, a fifty percent profit would incentivize them to take active risks.

A hundred percent profit would make them trample the rules!

Who knows how much the two families have profited!

Of course, all of this is merely Bai Xiaosheng’s speculation; the specific situation is yet to be known.

However, Mr. Auston’s words provided him a traceable lead.

Just as things here are about to conclude, a thorough investigation can be conducted.

According to Mr. Auston, the island nation his family resides in is precisely one of the crisis points for the Sixth Business Division.

Bai Xiaosheng originally intended to go there, only that it was scheduled later on his itinerary.

"Mr. Bai?" Mr. Auston noticed Bai Xiaosheng remained silent, seemingly pondering something, and tried to wake him.

Bai Xiaosheng had almost finished his thoughts and timely regained his attention.

Auston looked at him expectantly.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly, "Mr. Auston, what kinds of businesses does your family have? Tell me about them. My commercial resources aren’t just in Asia but also in Europe and the USA. Personally, I’m a chieftain in Oshan, Africa, and the resources there are quite abundant too. Let me see if I can assist you."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Auston was immediately surprised and delighted.

If Bai Xiaosheng says this, how could he be shortsighted and only see the small opportunities in front of his house?

"Mr. Bai, our family originally specialized in the spice business, but in recent years, we have expanded into several industries. Let me tell you about them," Mr. Auston said eagerly.

"Mr. Auston, let’s keep it brief," Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the door meaningfully, "Someone will be coming in shortly."
