Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 374: Chapter 374 I’ll Find Someone to Talk to You_1

Bai Xiaosheng looked relaxed, strolling down the pedestrian street with Ariel, introducing her to the famous local snacks of Zhongjing along the way.

Ariel was curious about these street foods, too. Having only experienced top-tier dining in Zhongjing, she’d never tasted such roadside delicacies before. After trying just a few, she became immediately overjoyed.

Shortly thereafter, her hands were full, juggling three or four snacks at once, munching away like a little girl.

”That’s more like it, Miss Ariel, you’re young and beautiful, the perfect age to enjoy the best years of youth. Being all tense and intimidating might be cool, but it’s not adorable. When you try to act cute, it also lacks a bit of innocence,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh.

Ariel rolled her eyes at him and continued to feast.

They reached the end of the pedestrian street.

Bai Xiaosheng came to a stop and said to Ariel with a smile, ”Miss Ariel, you’ve walked the street, you’ve tasted the snacks, it’s time to go back now, isn’t it?”

Ariel ignored Bai Xiaosheng, finishing the last spicy fish ball with relish and elegantly wiping her delicate lips with a moist towelette.

”Bai Xiaosheng, I’ve been thinking carefully just now.”

Ariel had opened up to Bai Xiaosheng along the way, and now calling him by his name, she gave him a charming smile, ”They said you were reluctant to take over this negotiation and even had conditions, but I think the opposite!

I arrived at Zhongjing Media, and you showed up within five minutes. During the discussion, you were very familiar with the terms, which indicates a positive attitude on your part.

You were willing to leave, yet you agreed to let me come along. You pay a lot of attention to controlling emotions, knowing when to tighten and when to let go. You defuse situations at their boiling point!

You bluntly refused to continue the talks as a way to disrupt my rhythm! You pointed out that negotiations are not concluded in a single step and that there is a next time. This proves that you don’t want to give up! Am I right?”

Ariel rattled off quite a lot in one breath.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at her with a half-smile, feeling somewhat convinced deep down.

This woman’s insight and sixth sense were so sharp, it was frightening!

If he truly followed the normal course of negotiations, he would definitely be at a disadvantage! Perhaps, he had already been outmaneuvered!

”Miss Ariel, impressive!” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but praise.

Ariel smiled triumphantly.

”Too bad, you’re not as understanding as your brother,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a light chuckle, ”We Chinese value modesty and reserve, believing in keeping one’s talent hidden. To me, this is absolute wisdom! You’re so boastful and full of tricks, in my eyes, that’s showing off too much. I think I can’t argue with you, I can’t outsmart you, so I, just won’t talk with you!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s words caught the triumphant Ariel off guard.

She always felt her arguments sharp as a knife, cutting through whether her opponent was resistant or compliant, whether they wanted to clash head-on or dodge and retreat.

But she hadn’t expected Bai Xiaosheng to present her with a new proposition—if you’re too strong, I just won’t talk with you.

”You won’t talk with me, then who will you talk to?!” Ariel felt as though she was being teased by Bai Xiaosheng and spoke angrily, ”Even if you go talk to Kevin, he will listen to me! My influence is beyond your imagination!”

Watching Ariel getting somewhat flustered and irritated, Bai Xiaosheng burst into a hearty laugh.

”I said I won’t talk to you, but I never said I was going to talk to your brother,” Bai Xiaosheng said seriously after his laugh, ”I am going to find someone to talk to you!”

”Find someone... to talk to me?” Ariel was perplexed, ”Who are you going to find?”

”You’re so clever, why don’t you guess?” Bai Xiaosheng said with an infuriatingly playful look, laughing as he turned around and walked away.

”You’ll know soon enough who’s going to talk to you, Miss Ariel. Let’s head back,” he called as he walked off.

Bai Xiaosheng strode away.

Ariel was furious.

”I, Ariel, have never been outdone by anyone!” Ariel huffed, watching Bai Xiaosheng’s retreating figure, her beautiful eyes suddenly shifting, ”You don’t want me to follow you? I’ll follow you just to spite you, let’s see what you do then!”

Ariel followed from a distance.

But five minutes later, she lost track of him.

The tall Western girl stomped her feet in frustration, searching aimlessly in a direction.

...

Bai Xiaosheng strolled leisurely down the street, crossed the road, and headed straight for a coffee shop.

The coffee shop wasn’t crowded.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced around and immediately smiled, heading towards a corner.

There sat a man, sitting upright, sipping coffee.

”Perfect timing, can’t help but admire myself,” Bai Xiaosheng said as he checked his phone, reflecting on the moment.

He had been glancing at the time during his negotiation with Ariel, just to make sure he wouldn’t be late; surprisingly, he found the error was within three minutes after arriving.

Bai Xiaosheng was quite pleased with himself.

”Just right?” the handsome man sitting there said, both amused and annoyed, ”Is that how you ask someone for a favor? Shouldn’t you at least come early? Are you making me wait for you? Do you know how much my three minutes are worth?”

”Lu, look at how petty you are!” Bai Xiaosheng grinned and ordered a cappuccino from the waiter.

Sitting across from him was none other than Lu Qingfeng!

”It’s really something, how could I bump into you every time I’m away! You really are ubiquitous,” Lu Qingfeng said with a laugh.

Though he said so, Lu Qingfeng was delighted to see Bai Xiaosheng again.

”A lot can happen in three days. Lu, you’ve learned to be sarcastic too,” Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

It had been two months since he last saw Lu Qingfeng, and their reunion was naturally warm.

”By the way, how’s my brother, your future brother-in-law, doing?” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but ask about Zhengdong Province.

”That fatso, he’s really something now!” Lu Qingfeng used Bai Xiaosheng’s tone to refer to Zhengdong Province, his face brimming with smiles.

From Lu Qingfeng’s account, Bai Xiaosheng was truly startled.

With the Lu Family’s channels, Zhengdong Province showed unparalleled business talent. His training agency expanded rapidly, branches sprouting like bamboo shoots after rain, resembling viral marketing. Capital ballooned like a snowball rolling down a hill, and now he was even preparing to go public!

It was said that even Lu Yun couldn’t stop praising him, intending to cultivate him significantly.

Endorsed by a future father-in-law, the fatso was indeed lucky and capable, with a limitless future!

After expressing his emotions, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but instruct Lu Qingfeng, ”Zhengdong Province is still a newbie in the business world after all, not as experienced as you all. So, you should take good care of him and guide him.”

”With Wenqian there, do you really think I could stay out of it?” Lu Qingfeng said with a wry smile, ”My little sister, who previously had no business acumen, guess what, she’s now studying harder than anyone, even I have to praise her efforts! She’s really met her match! I’m genuinely pleased for both of them!”

Bai Xiaosheng laughed heartily.

The two chatted idly for a while, filled with emotion.

For Bai Xiaosheng, becoming the Deputy General Manager of Zhongjing Media in just two months, was something Lu Qingfeng truly admired.

”Sometimes, I’m afraid that a few years from now, I’ll have to look up to see you!” Lu Qingfeng couldn’t help but feel nostalgic.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, saying nothing.

”Right, you didn’t call me here just to catch up over coffee, did you? I heard you have something important to discuss with me?” Lu Qingfeng asked curiously, ”What is it, tell me!”
