Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 569: Chapter 569: This Man, Don’t Provoke!_1

Jin Dalu stared at his own elder brother, his face aghast. Big brother Jin Dayu was, after all, a significant figure in Zhongjing—someone of status and reputation. And yet, there he was, his face pale and a layer of fine sweat beading on his forehead.

It was as if he had been frightened by something.

”Brother, are you alright?” Jin Dalu couldn’t help but swallow hard. ”Why do you look like you’re shaking all over?”

”I’ll shake your mother!” Jin Dayu pointed at Jin Dalu’s nose and cursed angrily, his words becoming indelicate.

Previously, he had gloated over the sons of the Yin and Zhang Families who had provoked someone with the surname Bai and faced terrible misfortune, because he was proud to have raised a well-behaved daughter who would never offend the dreaded Bai bogeyman!

But who could have anticipated—no troublesome sons, yet a brother who was a thorn in the side!

”Are you crazy, brother? How can you talk like that—my mom is also your mom!” Jin Dalu protested discontentedly.

”I’m not your brother, you’re my ancestor!” Jin Dayu lamented miserably, pointing at the photo, ”You dare to offend this person! What am I supposed to say about you!”

Was this person really that terrifying? Jin Dalu was startled.

”Wait! Does he know I’m your brother?” Jin Dayu suddenly remembered this concern and asked with bulging eyes.

”He probably doesn’t.” Jin Dalu’s words finally gave Jin Dayu some relief.

”But everyone else knows.” With that following sentence, Jin Dayu nearly suffocated.

”Damn it!” Jin Dayu smacked his head and said bitterly, ”Right, can’t afford wishful thinking. This matter has to be resolved quickly, no delays!”

Watching his brother go crazy, speaking incoherently, and completely losing his composure, Jin Dalu was clueless and overwhelmed.

”Who is this person anyway, that you’re so scared of him? There’s no prominent Bai family in Zhongjing, right?” Jin Dalu couldn’t help but ask.

Jin Dayu gave a wry smile.

His brother, rarely returning home, naturally would not be aware of Bai Xiaosheng, such a terrifying person who had emerged from nowhere.

”He’s not someone from any big family, but all the big families are afraid of him like the plague and dare not offend!” Jin Dayu sighed deeply, holding the photo of Bai Xiaosheng and recounting in the most succinct language all that Bai Xiaosheng had done.

He had dealt with the Yin Family, handled the Zhang Family, and dominated Zhongjing.

Jin Dalu listened, completely astounded.

”Now, there’s news that some big moves are being made by all these impressive companies in Zhongjing, and it seems this is also Bai Xiaosheng’s doing! Given my current status and position, I’m not even clear on the basics here. Now do you understand how powerful Mr. Bai is?”

As Jin Dayu spoke, he himself found it unbelievable, ”Don’t underestimate him just because he is young. Right now, he’s the last person the wealthy elites of Zhongjing want to mess with!”

Jin Dalu was utterly dumbfounded.

In Zhongjing, when did such a monstrous person appear!

”With my current status, trying to pay him a visit is adding difficulty to difficulty. Not to mention building a connection or friendship! And yet, you’ve managed to offend him right here in my house!” Jin Dayu exclaimed, feeling short of breath and chest tightness, ”Tell me, are you trying to kill me?”

Jin Dalu stood there dumbstruck, completely speechless. After much struggle, he managed to mumble, ”He’s got a great business to run, why mess around with cocktails!”

In that statement was Jin Dalu’s endless frustration and a deep-seated complaint—and resentment—against Bai Xiaosheng!

He had actually brought such a massive problem upon his big brother!

”Just why did you have to offend him? Tell me!” Jin Dayu couldn’t help but press him for an answer.

Jin Dalu stammered, spilling the complete story.

It turned out that Jin Dalu, given to gambling addiction, was recently strapped for cash. Wu Shiyi offered him a hundred thousand to express dissent at the time of voting.

”Just for a hundred thousand, you’ve brought such a disaster upon us!” Jin Dayu was incredulous and disappointed, ”If I had known, I would have given you ten times that much, just to beg you not to provoke this big shot!”

Jin Dalu was starting to panic, ”What do we do now!”

”What to do? Rush to give back your approval to him, and come with me to apologize in person! I hope this Bai Xiaosheng is a forgiving person,” Jin Dayu murmured.

Give back that approval?

Jin Dalu’s expression turned bitter.

The event may have already concluded by now. Holding another certification meeting for the same formula could take a year, and it’s not even certain I’d be the appraiser!

Jin Dalu simply didn’t know how to broach the subject with his older brother.

If he mentioned it, he was afraid his brother might resort to violence...

Knock knock knock.

While the brothers were talking, someone knocked on the office door.

Jin Dayu furrowed his brows, adjusted his emotions and expression, and called out, ”Come in!”

As the door opened, the secretary walked in, ”Mr. Jin, these people claim to be your friends and would like to see you.”

What friends? No, don’t want to see anyone!

Jin Dayu was already irritated and almost reflexively wanted to decline. He glanced at the door and was struck as if by lightning, freezing in place!

That young, confident face from the photo was still on his desk, yet the person was right at the door.

Bai Xiaosheng!

Jin Dayu was startled.

He had been found so quickly!

Jin Dayu’s heart skipped a beat as he instinctively hurried to hide the photo.

”Mr. Jin!” Bai Xiaosheng walked in, giving a slight smile to Jin Dayu, then turned to glance at Jin Dalu sitting on the sofa, staring dumbfounded at him, ”Ah, Mr. Jin is also here, how perfect!”

...

Feng Shijie couldn’t describe what he was feeling at that moment.

He looked at Bai Xiaosheng with complex eyes.

The young man now sat on Jin Dayu’s office sofa, chatting with the unfamiliar CEO like old friends; Jin Dayu was simply accommodating him with a smile, leaning forward, even showing traces of fear in his demeanor.

Who is this Bai? Feng Shijie couldn’t figure it out.

Even more baffling to him was Jin Dalu’s attitude.

Jin Dalu was like a child who had done something wrong, his smile even tinged with a hint of fear, nothing like his arrogance at the venue just before.

He nodded repeatedly to every word from Bai Xiaosheng, like a student listening to a lesson.

If I’m not dreaming, then I must be drunk! Feng Shijie thought to himself, surprised by the aftereffects of the ”Encounter” wine. It was so strong, it seemed to cause hallucinations!

Mo Xin sat beside him, her eyes bright as she watched Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng’s behavior at the moment was so elegant and stylish that it nearly turned Mo Xin into an adoring young girl.

Bai Xiaosheng was smiling.

Things were even simpler than he had thought. He had intended to have a good talk with Jin Dayu.

To his surprise, upon seeing him, Jin Dayu reacted as if a mouse had seen a cat.

Bai Xiaosheng knew his ”fierce reputation” well; he had realized this when he met Mou Yutian at the Li family’s.

Am I really that frightening? The Yin Family, the Zhang Family, it was their own lack of integrity, not my fault.

Bai Xiaosheng reflected with a tinge of wry amusement in his heart.

But seeing the Jin brothers like this made things indeed simpler.

”Tomorrow, I’d like to reconvene the certification meeting, and I hope that Mr. Jin can support it,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Jin Dalu.

”Absolutely, absolutely! Jin here will certainly support it!” Jin Dalu promptly replied, nodding like a pecking chicken.

”I will provide the best venue free of charge. Your presence is an honor for us!” Jin Dayu smiled.

”No need to go through the expense,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a slight smile, ”For the next session, I’d like a change of scenery!”
