Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 727: Chapter 727: Tomorrow’s Journey_1

”Agreed, I agree to everything!” Sedor accepted all of Bai Xiaosheng’s requests.

Compared to the life and death of their grand orchestra, these three demands were nothing at all, not even demands, really. Even the most important one—the cancellation of the contract with Yegor’s orchestra—was just a matter of time. No matter how much they schemed and delayed, they ultimately couldn’t reverse the inevitable. As for the other demands, they were not even worth mentioning.

Even though it was Bai Xiaosheng who made the demands, Sedor was extremely grateful, as if he had received a great favor.

He was indeed smart.

Bai Xiaosheng was quite satisfied.

Afterwards, the call was passed to Yegor, who was ecstatic to learn that Bai Xiaosheng had also helped eliminate their future troubles with the contract cancellation. His words were filled with endless thanks towards Bai Xiaosheng and he was extremely respectful.

Bai Xiaosheng briefly consoled him with a few words and then explained the details of the next day’s performance before ending the call.

Putting down his phone, Bai Xiaosheng leaned back in his chair comfortably.

”In this world, everything is about self-interest.”

”A simple, ambiguous question from the masses can cause panic.”

”The capitalists’ stern threats are nothing but bluffs, yet they serve as the heaviest weight, completely shattering the mental defenses of a shrewd businessman with oily tricks.”

”Ridiculous!”

Bai Xiaosheng muttered to himself with a smile and a shake of his head, then dismissed the thoughts from his mind.

In the afternoon, he had the administrative department book him a train ticket.

Tomorrow, he would head to Guangyun City!

Guangyun is one of the four oldest first-tier cities in the country; it is now a true international metropolis.

Yegor’s orchestra would also be heading there, and that was not something he needed to worry about. He believed that Young Regiment Leader Sedor would certainly arrange everything properly.

This time, Bai Xiaosheng was going to Guangyun to celebrate the birthday of a special person—Master Song Kai!

Bai Xiaosheng was someone who remembered kindness.

In Tiannan, Master Song Kai really took good care of him, providing full support and mentoring.

Afterward, even after coming to Zhongjing, they would occasionally chat through WeChat, their relationship being both that of a teacher and a friend, with even a grandfather-grandson affection.

One and a half months earlier, Master Song Kai had made a point of inviting him to join his birthday celebration.

To be personally invited by Master Song Kai, renowned throughout the world with students everywhere, was indeed a mark of great consideration!

Moved by this, Bai Xiaosheng spared no effort to prepare a gift for Master Song Kai.

Now, after some twists and turns, everything was ready, and all that was left was to depart the next day.

Just before the end of the workday in the afternoon, the administrative department delivered the train ticket to him.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at it.

The train left at seven in the morning and would arrive in Guangyun at one in the afternoon, taking six hours, almost the same as the trip to Linshen. According to the map, Guangyun should be even further than Linshen.

Curious, Bai Xiaosheng had Red Lotus check, and found out that the high-speed train on that route had increased its speed.

”That’s actually good, it’s less time than I expected, and I can get ready,” Bai Xiaosheng said, quite pleased.

Master Song Kai’s birthday banquet was in the evening, so there was no issue with time.

Just then, his phone started ringing continuously, first with a notification tone for a message, and then an incoming call.

Bai Xiaosheng answered the call first.

The caller was Yegor.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t think any new problems had arisen. If Sharvey Band dared to be unreasonable, he wouldn’t mind using some methods to deal with them.

After all, he had plenty of ways to handle them if need be.

”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, this is Yegor. I wanted to let you know that the young regiment leader has arranged everything already. We’re departing tonight and will arrive in Guangyun City tomorrow morning. We will be staying at the Coria Hotel in Guangyun, which is only a twenty-minute drive from the location you mentioned. If you arrive, you could come by and sit for a while. The young regiment leader has prepared the best room for you...”

Yegor’s words brought a smile to Bai Xiaosheng’s face.

This Young Regiment Leader Sedor really knew how to deal with people. Not only had he made all the arrangements properly, but he also took the initiative to inform Bai Xiaosheng ahead of time.

In this, there was clearly an attempt to please him.

However, it might have been the intention of Viktor, the leader of the Sharvey Band, who was far away in UE Country.

”Alright, Mr. Yegor, you guys go ahead early and make sure to rest well. We look forward to your splendid performance at the dinner!” Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh.

”Thank you for everything you’ve done for us; we will definitely give it our all!” Yegor replied sincerely.

The two chatted for a while before ending the call.

Bai Xiaosheng opened the message he had received, and to his surprise, it was from Master Song Kai.

”Kid, remember to come over tomorrow. By the way, have you prepared my gift.”

There was also a cheeky winking emoji attached.

This old man, shouldn’t he be saying, ”Just come tomorrow, no need to bring anything”?

But the more he acted like this, the closer their relationship seemed, showing the affection between them.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and sent a message back.

”I have a modest gift prepared: some famous calligraphy supplies from Zhongjing—brush, ink, paper, inkstone—plus a symphony orchestra, the Sharvey Band from UE Country, featuring the pianist Yegor. It’s a performance I won.”

Bringing a large orchestra required arrangements for both time and venue, so Bai Xiaosheng didn’t plan any surprise and gave a heads-up.

Shortly after, he received a reply.

An astonished emoji, followed by a laughing one.

”Others bring mundane things that can’t compare to your unique gift! I’m very satisfied! Come early tomorrow; we should catch up more—it’s really been too long!”

It had been six or seven months since they last met—indeed, it was a long time.

Bai Xiaosheng felt emotional and responded with a single word, ”Okay!”

He was chatting with Master Song Kai when another call came in. Seeing the caller’s name, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but smile.

Of course. How could he be absent from Master Song Kai’s birthday!

”Hello, Mr. Ji,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

Mayor Ji Mingyang of Zhongjing City was also a student of Master Song Kai.

”Sheng, tomorrow is the teacher’s birthday, will you be going?” Mr. Ji asked.

”Before your call, I was just discussing this with Master Song Kai. Of course, I will go,” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile.

”Good,” Mayor Ji Mingyang said with a laugh, ”It’s a pity I can’t make it. The provincial government is organizing an overseas inspection trip, and I’ve been specifically asked to join. I can’t get away from it, and I’ve already called the teacher. I’m contacting you to ask if you could bring my gift to him. It can’t compare with yours, but it’s a token of my respect as his student. In a bit, I’ll have Zhang Meng deliver it to you, so you can take it for me.”

So that was the situation.

”No problem,” Bai Xiaosheng said.

”Actually, I regret it too. I haven’t seen the teacher for a long time, and many of my senior and junior brothers are likely to come this time,” Mr. Ji expressed his regret, and with deep meaning in his words, he added, ”Speaking of which, among our cohort, whether in business or politics, I am considered moderate. You will benefit greatly from mingling with your peers when you go there!”

Mr. Ji was giving him a subtle hint.

Grateful, Bai Xiaosheng responded, ”Okay!”

After hanging up, Bai Xiaosheng exchanged a few more casual words with Master Song Kai, and when Zhang Meng delivered the gift, he left work to rest early in preparation.

He was also looking forward to the birthday celebration tomorrow!
