Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 110: Chapter 110: Seeing Lu Yun Again_1

”What does ’you don’t stand much of a chance’ mean?!”

Lola’s words were not to Bai Xiaosheng’s liking.

”Just look at our Master Lu Qingfeng - handsome and successful with an illustrious family background. In literature, he understands the ancient and modern; in martial arts, he is above me. I can see he has a special affection for that lady. Your odds of winning against him are really not high!”

Lola reminded Bai Xiaosheng with the typically rigorous, sincere, and earnest attitude of a German.

She was completely unaware that her words came across more like a bucket of cold water dumped over Bai Xiaosheng’s head.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Lola with narrowed eyes, thinking to himself and yelling inwardly at Red Lotus, ”Red Lotus, when you translate for me, can you not use such flowery language and complicated four-character phrases? I don’t like hearing them!”

”The ’language conversion’ assistant comes with a fixed lexicon, which I cannot adjust in the short term,” Red Lotus replied, sounding very sincere, ”Please, Master, adjust your mood and exert more patience.”

So that means - listen if you like, endure if you don’t.

Bai Xiaosheng let out a long, frustrated sigh.

Whether in virtual reality or real life, sometimes women made him feel like going crazy.

Sometimes, their words were like stabs with a knife, aimed straight for the heart.

”Thanks for the reminder,” Bai Xiaosheng said to Lola, his voice sullen, serious, and forceful.

There wasn’t a hint of gratitude.

”I’m just trying to help you see reality and be mentally prepared so you won’t get hurt,” Lola shrugged, ”I’m really have good intentions, and I thank you for that. Personally speaking, I am on your side.”

Really?

Bai Xiaosheng scratched his face without expression.

At the moment, they were following a cobblestone path and moving forward.

As they turned a corner, the view suddenly opened up.

Above, the blue sky stretched vast and endless, with white clouds drifting leisurely. Below, the water was clear and the waves rippled gently.

Bai Xiaosheng had known the estate featured a man-made lake, but seeing it with his own eyes still left him stunned by the boundlessness. From this vantage point, the view was absolutely refreshing.

The cobblestone path beneath their feet led to a stone bridge which meandered toward the Lake Heart Pavilion.

Bai Xiaosheng looked in the distance and could make out the silhouettes of some people already there in the pavilion.

”Do all the big shots enjoy such scenery? Just for a meal, they travel this far, and besides, hasn’t Lu Yun just recovered from his illness?” Bai Xiaosheng grumbled internally.

Lu Qingfeng paused in his steps, waiting for Bai Xiaosheng to catch up, and had Cheng go ahead first.

He personally guided Bai Xiaosheng and Wei Xuelian, explaining as they went.

Each stretch of the stone bridge provided an excellent viewpoint, where you could see the lotuses up close or watch wild geese playing in the water. Listening to his guidance felt like taking a scenic garden tour, which made the journey seem less lengthy.

Only upon entering Lake Heart Pavilion did Bai Xiaosheng realize it was bustling with chefs and attendants. Though there were many people, they were well-trained; even their walking was silent, clearly the result of rigorous training.

In one corner of the pavilion, there was a smokeless stove and teppanyaki grill, where several chefs stood at the ready, waiting to prepare dishes.

In the center of Lake Heart Pavilion stood a circular stone table surrounded by nine seats.

A figure sat there, holding a scroll in hand with a cup of tea placed before him.

This scene stirred the emotions and imparted a sense of elegance.

The person reading was Lu Yun.

As Bai Xiaosheng and the others stepped into Lake Heart Pavilion, Lu Yun put down his scroll and actually rose to his feet to greet them personally.

This was a truly influential figure from the internet empire!

Although he had seen him in the media, after all, it wasn’t face-to-face.

Bai Xiaosheng had a brief encounter with him at Mingzhu Tower, but at that time, Lu Yun was unconscious.

Now, Lu Yun was walking towards him.

Up until now, Bai Xiaosheng had seen many influential individuals.

Apart from Master Song Kai, who was naturally carefree and unconcerned with details, figures like Shang Wenshu, Wang Ye, District Chief Wu Qibing, and Chen Ming had long held positions of power, each possessing a formidable presence; yet, none could compare to Lu Yun before him.

Bai Xiaosheng had originally thought Lou Qingfeng’s every move was incredibly elegant, but now he saw that Lu Qingfeng didn’t even have one-tenth of Lu Yun’s aura.

Lu Yun did not deliberately pay attention to his own dignity, nor did he put on airs, but every step he took was as steady as a mountain range, his gaze friendly, his eyes smiling, yet there was a profound depth that seemed to see through everything, intimidating everyone in sight.

With Lu Yun’s movement, the surroundings fell into a hushed silence.

The people who were already quietly working spontaneously stopped what they were doing, halted in their tracks, and turned their eyes respectfully towards him.

Mr. Lu actually stood up to personally welcome a guest who seemed to be of a much younger generation!

The way the people present looked at Bai Xiaosheng changed.

Bai Xiaosheng, feeling the pressure of Lu Yun’s aura and the many eyes focused on him, found his breath momentarily catching.

”In the future, I shall be the trillionaire CEO, controlling a world-class conglomerate, with hundreds of subsidiaries and countless employees under me. I, will be a figure surpassing Lu Yun!”

Bai Xiaosheng silently repeated to himself, clenching his fists, letting his fingernails dig into his flesh.

In a few breaths, Bai Xiaosheng had regained his composure and was smiling as he walked towards Lu Yun.

This composure made people around him unable to help but silently applaud!

A glint of admiration appeared in Lu Qingfeng’s eyes. He had seen many outstanding people of his generation, some of whom he even held in high regard, but they were still young, lacking the refinement of time and the enhancement of experience. Those people, upon meeting his father, would all be affected by his presence, some slightly nervous, others more humble.

Bai Xiaosheng, showed not the slightest change in color.

Still neither servile nor overbearing.

As Lu Qingfeng looked straight at Bai Xiaosheng’s back, he silently reminded himself, ”From now on, whether it’s competing for Xuelian’s affection or in business conflicts, I will go all out against him!”

The man who, in Lola’s view, left Bai Xiaosheng with little chance of winning, was now inwardly committing to give his all against Bai Xiaosheng, unaware of what Lola’s expression would be if she knew, surely it would be priceless.

Lu Yun also had a trace of admiration for Bai Xiaosheng, who was performing beyond his expectations.

Lu Yun smiled.

The reason he invited Bai Xiaosheng to dine, was firstly to express gratitude, and secondly to see for himself, the man extolled by Lola and Chen Ming of Mingzhu Tower, what kind of person he was.

If possible, then he would recruit him into his ranks.

”Although I’ve heard much about you, my life-saving benefactor is truly quite young,” Lu Yun said with a humorous smile, reaching out his hand first.

The people around were surprised.

Mr. Lu taking the initiative to shake hands with a junior was simply unimaginable; the usually serious boss actually had a humorous side.

Bai Xiaosheng reached out his hand and smiled at Lu Yun.

”I am flattered, Mr. Lu, you look quite well.”

Their conversation was as if between friends.

The people around couldn’t help holding their breath, watching intently.

One hand was vigorous, the other steady, as the two hands clasped together.
