Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 693: Chapter 693: If You Invite Me, I’ll Definitely Go_1

Chen Changqing came out of Bai Xiaosheng’s office with an ugly look on his face.

He had watched someone else enjoy a breakfast feast and ended up returning empty-handed.

”I knew it, I definitely couldn’t persuade that bastard Bai Xiaosheng. Uncle, you overestimated me!” Chen Changqing glanced at the door of Bai Xiaosheng’s office, gave a bitter smile, and returned to his own office.

Once in his office, he called Chen Jiuzheng and reported the situation.

Chen Jiuzheng cursed him out over the phone.

But after hanging up, Chen Changqing let out a sigh of relief.

At the very least, the hot potato was no longer his to hold.

In the Chen Family study,

Chen Jiuzheng was so angry that he smashed the teacup in his hand to pieces.

”Forget it! I won’t ask him anymore! This shameless jerk, he thinks so highly of himself, let him not come!”

Chen Jiuzheng was raging like thunder, while Chen Jiutian and Mu Beichen were sitting opposite him drinking tea, one with a furrowed brow and the other with an equally unpleasant expression.

However, compared to Chen Jiuzheng, they were still able to keep their cool.

After Chen Jiuzheng had vented his anger, Mu Beichen slowly said, ”Having this Mr. Bai come is to our benefit, and I have made my reasons crystal clear. If it’s difficult for you, Brother Jiuzheng, then we don’t have to invite him!”

With that said, Chen Jiuzheng exhaled a heavy breath and found himself without a response.

”A lion doesn’t bother to fight with a mouse. Why are you getting angry with him from a distance!”

Chen Jiutian set down his teacup, ”Second brother, you didn’t rise to the position of Regional Industry Head overnight, your patience is still not enough! To give in to him now is to trap him for a lifetime! Isn’t that a good thing?”

Now that even Chen Jiutian had spoken, Chen Jiuzheng was completely at a loss for words.

After a long moment, Chen Jiuzheng gritted his teeth.

”Fine, I’ll call him personally. I’ll invite him! Happy now?”

”Since you’re making this call, you cannot sound aggressive,” Mu Beichen advised.

”Your attitude must not be too tough, can’t let him sense your hatred,” Chen Jiutian added.

”What, so I make the call, personally invite him, and I still have to play the grandson?”

Chen Jiuzheng was exasperated, his words filled with sorrow and grievance.

...

Bai Xiaosheng sat behind his office desk, flipping through documents with casual indifference.

After Chen Changqing had left, he had been waiting; he believed that before long, there would be news from the other side.

”If Chen Jiuzheng really can’t swallow his pride, or if Mu Beichen hasn’t swayed him, then so be it. It’s not like I have to go,” Bai Xiaosheng was unconcerned.

Just as this thought surfaced, his cellphone rang.

”Here it comes,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

Sensing it, he believed this was a call from Chen Jiuzheng, who had conceded.

True enough.

After answering the phone, Chen Jiuzheng’s voice came through.

”Is this Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, Mr. Bai, I am Chen Jiuzheng speaking.”

Chen Jiuzheng’s voice sounded perfectly reasonable, like that of a mild-tempered person.

Not bad for composure, Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

He had no idea that before making the call, Chen Jiuzheng had especially gone to the gym, put on boxing gloves, and ferociously pummeled a rubber dummy for ten minutes.

On the dummy’s head was a label with Bai Xiaosheng’s name on it.

”Mr. Chen, what is it that you need?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile, knowingly playing dumb.

”It’s like this, I’m organizing a banquet, and I believe you’ve already heard about it. The invitees are the general managers participating in the selection for industry leaders of the Greater China Region this time. Since it’s a rare chance for us to gather together in Anjiang, in Zhongjing, I thought I’d play host and offer the local hospitality. It’s an opportunity for us to get together and exchange ideas. I don’t know if you have the time,” Chen Jiuzheng spoke with a chuckle over the phone.

”If you’re inviting me, I’ll definitely come.”

Bai Xiaosheng said cheerfully, ”Could you please send someone to deliver an invitation to me? No need for you to come in person, any housekeeper or the likes will do.”

As soon as Bai Xiaosheng uttered the word ”anyone,” he heard a faint sound of friction.

It sounded like someone grinding their teeth.

”Heh heh, sure, then I’ll have my housekeeper deliver it to you!” Chen Jiuzheng’s voice sounded a bit forced, ”Alright, I have other matters to attend to and won’t bother you any longer. We’ll chat more at the event!”

”Sure, I’ll definitely attend,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh.

The call was quickly ended.

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled softly.

He believed that on the other end, Chen Jiuzheng must be quite upset.

”Can’t blame me, it’s your own narrow-mindedness, getting upset over such a trivial matter,” Bai Xiaosheng shrugged and muttered to himself.

It might not be a big deal, but it was enough to irk someone.

On the other end, Chen Jiuzheng put down the phone and headed straight for the gym, declaring that he shouldn’t be disturbed until after noon.

As noon approached, Lin Weiwei led Chen Mansion’s chief housekeeper, Chen Hao, into Bai Xiaosheng’s office.

”Mr. Bai, here is your invitation, please keep it safe.” Chen Hao was extremely respectful, presenting the invitation with both hands to Bai Xiaosheng. He only let out a sigh of relief after seeing him accept it.

Chen Hao also hoped that nothing would go wrong this time.

”By the way, Mr. Chen asked me to tell you that Lu Guangxin is indeed a black sheep who has tarnished Mr. Chen’s reputation. Therefore, Mr. Chen has dismissed him and ordered him to leave Zhongjing,” Chen Hao said, ”Mr. Chen appreciates your approach in dealing with Lu Guangxin.”

Bai Xiaosheng was momentarily stunned, then he smiled and nodded.

It’s doubtful that this was Chen Jiuzheng’s own doing.

Still, it was good riddance to someone like Lu Guangxin; he’d save the group’s subsidiaries from potential harm.

”Alright, I got it, thank you for making the trip,” Bai Xiaosheng said to Chen Hao with a smile.

”It’s no trouble, just my duty, Mr. Bai. Now, if you’ll excuse me,” Chen Hao politely excused himself and left.

Lin Weiwei escorted him to the door, then turned back with a smile, ”Xiaosheng, you really have a way with things, just as you expected, they backed down.”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and briefly looked at the invitation before setting it aside.

The day of the banquet was tomorrow, starting at four in the afternoon and lasting until nine in the evening, a total of five hours.

It wasn’t just food and drink, but other activities too, essentially a social gathering.

”Moon Lake Villa District, huh? I’ve heard that it’s where the wealthiest people in Zhongjing live; I’m looking forward to having a good look around,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

”No matter how big the house, you still only sleep in a three-foot bed. No matter how much gourmet food there is, you still only eat three meals a day,” Lin Weiwei remarked nonchalantly.

”Not everyone can be as detached as you are,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled back at her, his gaze drifting away, ”Some people, even if they sit on mountains of gold and silver, still feel it’s not enough. They spend their days wanting more and more, even at the risk of breaking the law!”

The Chen Brothers were just like that!

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze darkened; he really wanted to have a good look in the ”enemy camp.”

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng lost in thought, Lin Weiwei did not disturb him. She tiptoed out of the office to attend to her own affairs.

The day passed without incident, all quiet.

The next morning, Bai Xiaosheng arrived at the company to take care of some business and went home at midday to get ready.

Feng drove to pick him up from his place and headed straight for the Moon Lake Villa District in Zhongjing.

On the way, Bai Xiaosheng was truly looking forward to the banquet.

”If it’s not lively enough, I’ll liven things up for them!”
