Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 711: Chapter 711: Start from the Melon and Trace Up the Vine_1

By noon, Lin Weiwei finally returned and handed the bank card over to Bai Xiaosheng.

”Finally finished,” Lin Weiwei said with sweat on her forehead and a trace of fatigue on her face.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at her with surprise, not understanding how Lin Weiwei could be so exhausted.

Lin Weiwei briefly reported her morning schedule to him.

”I went to look for Lei Ying first. He had some matters to deal with and couldn’t leave, so he asked me to tell you ’he knows.’

”Since it was on the way, I stopped by the New Media Department. Some work needed to be accepted there, and I thought it wouldn’t take too long.”

”But who would have thought, in the middle of it all, someone from the Patent Department called me over. There were urgent matters that needed handling.”

”One thing led to another, and I ended up going to the bank last, which is why I’m late.”

Lin Weiwei’s face showed a hint of apology.

”You worked so hard!” Bai Xiaosheng now understood why she looked so tired.

”Quick, sit down and take a rest!”

Bai Xiaosheng stood up and poured Lin Weiwei a glass of water, apologizing, ”The company’s kept you busier than me, which was negligent of me. I should have arranged for a few assistants for you!”

”It’s nothing. Song Yiming and the others are just as busy,” Lin Weiwei said with a sweet smile.

Actually, just having Bai Xiaosheng’s words was enough for her.

After resting for a while, Lin Weiwei went back to being busy.

And Bai Xiaosheng didn’t rest either. He went through the documents he had prepared that morning several times, carefully scrutinizing and verifying to find any minor flaws.

This was no small task, and without Red Lotus’s real-time help, Bai Xiaosheng might not have been able to finish it.

In the end, he finally felt satisfied.

In the blink of an eye, a few hours passed, and it was almost time to leave work.

Just as Bai Xiaosheng finished printing the summary of the materials, there was a knock on the office door.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying walked in one after the other.

”Pretty punctual, both of you,” Bai Xiaosheng said, picking up his stuff with a smile, ”Come on, I’m taking you two out for a big meal!”

The two of them also smiled.

The restaurant where they were going to eat was quite close to where Bai Xiaosheng lived. It was a luxurious restaurant.

They got a private room, and after they went in, Bai Xiaosheng let them order whatever they wanted, then he added four or five dishes himself.

”We can’t eat this much!” Lin Weiwei was startled.

”You used to say you wanted to treat me to an expensive meal, but now you’re reluctant to spend the money,” Bai Xiaosheng teased.

The restaurant was not only good in taste but also impressively quick in serving, especially for the customers in the private rooms. In half an hour, all the dishes were served.

Which made all three of them click their tongues in admiration.

They poured the wine, and as they ate, they talked about recent situations, discussing work and life.

Lei Ying had been with the company for a while now, and according to Lin Weiwei, he caught on very quickly to many tasks, and in terms of interpersonal relationships, there was a tremendous change.

”Even several female colleagues have been asking me about Lei Ying in secret, thinking they might be interested in him,” Lin Weiwei said with a teasing smile.

Lei Ying grinned, looking a bit embarrassed.

”I still remember when he first joined the company, he was assertive, loud, and fierce, and even made female colleagues cry,” Bai Xiaosheng seized the opportunity to bring up old stories.

”Haha,” Lin Weiwei immediately burst into laughter.

”Those are old stories, let’s not bring them up, let’s leave the past in the past!” Lei Ying, the rough man, blushed slightly, looking a bit shy.

”Back then, I lived life on the edge, never even dreaming that one day I’d step into a big company and do a legitimate job. To put it bluntly, I should thank you, Bai Xiaosheng!”

As Lei Ying murmured, he raised his glass with a solemn expression towards Bai Xiaosheng.

”No need to be so polite,” Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

”I must!” Lei Ying insisted earnestly, ”Without you, maybe I’d still be working for my enemies, collecting and lending money, doing those inhumane things. Maybe I’d be wanted by now. It’s all possible! It was you who gave me a completely different life. Now, when I call home or send money, they’re all happy for me and remind me to repay my debts of gratitude! Thanks to you, I can face my parents and the heavens without shame. I’ll acknowledge you, Bai Xiaosheng, for a lifetime!”

His words were heartfelt and genuine.

Bai Xiaosheng’s smile faded slightly, and he raised his glass earnestly, ”Having you as a friend is my honor too! Cheers!”

”Cheers!”

Moved by their emotions, they drank the liquor in their glasses.

Lin Weiwei smiled and filled their glasses.

Her life had also been changed because of Bai Xiaosheng.

That little meeting service attendant from back then would have never imagined commanding the various departments, with the director respectfully calling her ”Sister Lin.”

She was also filled with emotion.

”I want to drink with you as well, Xiaosheng!” Lin Weiwei took the initiative and picked up her glass.

Seeing the look in her eyes, Bai Xiaosheng instantly grinned, lifted his glass, and downed his drink.

And so, the three of them drank heartily and chatted for a while.

It was only after a few drinks that Bai Xiaosheng put down his glass and said, ”I invited you here today to chat, but also because I have something to ask of you.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying set down their chopsticks.

”Just say the word, Xiaosheng, and I’ll make sure it’s taken care of!” Lin Weiwei said seriously.

”To go through fire and water for you is the least I could do!”

Lei Ying was crisp and straightforward, his words still resonating with boldness.

”Don’t make it sound so serious!” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but smile with a mix of amusement and exasperation at Lei Ying, ”Otherwise, I feel like a simple meal is going to demand life and death from you, then I’d be really inhumane.”

Lin Weiwei let out a giggle.

Lei Ying laughed as well.

”Actually, there are some things I’ve already discussed with Weiwei but haven’t had the chance to tell you.” Bai Xiaosheng looked at Lei Ying.

Then he shared the grudges with the Chen Family, his involvement in the corporate assessment, the future departure from Zhongjing Media, and other matters he could mention, with Lei Ying.

Lei Ying nodded frequently.

Lei Ying would naturally keep what he heard to himself, considering Bai Xiaosheng told him these things out of trust.

”I’ve already invited Lin Weiwei, and now I want to formally invite you. When I leave, will you...”

”I’ll go with you!” Lei Ying responded decisively.

Bai Xiaosheng immediately smiled.

Lin Weiwei smiled too.

”Now, there is something else I need to discuss with you.”

Bai Xiaosheng took out the printed summary of materials and handed it to both of them. He recounted in detail his encounter at the Chen Mansion the day before.

”Next, I want you two to take these materials to Chen Changluo’s company, ostensibly to claim services according to the contract and act as supervisors. In reality, I’d like you to start with Chen Changluo to find any clues and investigate the Chen Family’s fraudulent practices!”

”They say ’follow the vine to get to the melon,’ but what you have to do is the opposite. Start with the melon and trace back to the vine. This time, one of you will be in the open, the other in the dark. Lei Ying, if necessary, you’ll need to find some people and use extraordinary measures!” Bai Xiaosheng declared decisively.

He wasn’t a stickler for outdated principles.

If possible, just like in Tiannan, stealing evidence would also be an option!
