Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: Bai Xiaosheng Attends a Banquet

After leaving Bai Xiaosheng’s office, Yu Ying left with a pleased expression on her face.

However, as she walked past the corner of the corridor and saw no one around, a cold smile appeared in Yu Ying’s eyes.

”Just now, I left Bai Xiaosheng’s office with a smile, and I met two Affairs Officers walking together, a cleaning lady at the end of the corridor, and a female assistant rushing to the restroom... They must all be ’interested parties’!”

”Yes, not only them, I’m afraid the surveillance cameras also clearly captured my expression.”

Yu Ying thought to herself, ”The report about this scene will likely be sent to the desks of many big shots.”

”Excellent!”

”Although the deal with Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t bad, it’s still trivial. The others are just secondary targets. Only Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng is my real target!”

Yu Ying’s overt approach to Bai Xiaosheng was meant as a show for the other side.

”If Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng’s side doesn’t contact me, then I’ll just sell some more goods to Bai Xiaosheng to put some pressure on him!”

”Normally, it’s Shen Peisheng’s subordinates who contact me, but this time I won’t talk unless it’s Shen Peisheng himself. After all, even Bai Xiaosheng talked to me personally.” Yu Ying’s expression was somewhat arrogant.

”Information indeed needs to be sold to both parties to really fill up the pot! Of course, what I’ve already sold, I definitely cannot resell to the other party.”

After reciting this to herself, Yu Ying couldn’t help but admire her own cunning, ”I indeed am a very conscientious businessman!”

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, humming a song with a light and brisk step.

The song she hummed was, ”Little money, truly sweet.”

It seemed she was very satisfied with today’s results.

In Bai Xiaosheng’s office.

”That Yu Ying is really a bit annoying, later we should report her to the headquarters, to Elder Xia. How can the department tolerate such despicable people!” Lin Weiwei huffed coldly.

Calling every other word ’Xiaosheng’, so annoying indeed!

Seeing Lin Weiwei upset, both Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying couldn’t help but smile.

”Existence is reasonable.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”Actually, if you think about it, this phrase makes a lot of sense.”

Did Elder Xia really not know about Yu Ying’s existence? Allowing her might serve another purpose.

Lin Weiwei remained somewhat resentful.

”Alright, alright, it’s about time we left, we have a dinner to attend tonight,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

”You know, that’s Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng’s dinner!”

At the mention of this, both Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying nodded their heads.

Indeed, it was getting late, time to get ready to go.

Leaving the office, Bai Xiaosheng took Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to their residence to tidy up, then, following the address given by Assistant Cheng Liu of Shen Peisheng, they found their way.

Linshen, as a first-tier city and a hub of prosperity, was known for its distinguished large restaurants and eateries, each one strikingly conspicuous and excellently located. The interiors were all splendidly decorated, giving an impression of high status and wealth.

In reality, this was just how common people saw it.

True wealthy people are actually very low-key.

Driving their way into the second ring, it took them some time to find the ancient, quaint little alley.

After parking the car, they walked, Bai Xiaosheng still marveling.

True luxury is understated.

Even the simple act of dining here was worth its weight in gold, yet it also had a rich historical charm.

Having found the place, it was a spacious courtyard.

Someone was waiting at the entrance, and they were warmly invited in as soon as they arrived.

This must have been someone arranged by Shen Peisheng.

Led by this person, Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying walked through serpentine paths and past pavilions and towers.

At last, Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying were led into the deepest part of the courtyard.

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard was a person, Cheng Liu.

At that moment, Cheng Liu, dressed in a dark blue Sun Yat-sen suit, stood there waiting with a smile, hands clasped in front of him, looking quite stylish.

”Officer Xiaosheng, please follow me, Assistant Lin, Assistant Lei, please accompany him to another place,” Cheng Liu said with a smile.

Guests follow the host’s arrangements.

Since that was how they had arranged it, Bai Xiaosheng naturally had no objections, and immediately smiled and told Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, ”You guys go on, I’ll go have a chat with Sir Shen.”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying naturally nodded and followed the previous guide.

Bai Xiaosheng then followed Cheng Liu directly inside to the hall.

Stepping into the hall, Bai Xiaosheng saw, sitting behind a long table, indeed was Shen Peisheng.

He sat there leisurely, sipping tea.

As soon as Shen Peisheng saw Bai Xiaosheng enter, he stood up with a smile, ”Xiaosheng, you’ve come!”

Shen Peisheng didn’t address Bai Xiaosheng by his official title or full name, but instead used a nickname.

It was a private dinner, so there was no need for formality, and it also showed his approachable and friendly demeanor.

”Sir Shen, to have made you wait for me, truly is my fault,” Bai Xiaosheng apologized with a smile, striding forward.

They indeed arrived a bit later than the agreed time.

It wasn’t that Bai Xiaosheng lacked a sense of time, but rather that the place was difficult to find, and walking in also took a significant amount of time, both of which were unexpected.

”No worries, no worries, come, sit down and try this green tea, a rare treat!” Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng smiled unconcernedly, affectionately pulling Bai Xiaosheng by the hand to sit.

Xiasheng glanced around the room.

Others might just perceive it as antique, but with his keen eyesight, enhanced by Red Lotus’s scanning analysis,

”Haihuang furniture!”

”Tang and Song dynasty calligraphy and paintings!”

”Ming and Qing dynasty ornaments!”

...

To call this a room was inaccurate, it was more like a small museum.

Just those pieces of Haihuang furniture alone, well-maintained despite ages, were probably worth tens of millions.

Added with antique calligraphy and paintings, this place truly was ”gloriously splendid.”

People talk about mansions costing hundreds of millions, but this hundred million worth house was even more astonishing.

Under such an environment, the tea that Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng called ”fine tea” must truly be exceptional.

Bai Xiaosheng sat down opposite Shen Peisheng, watching as the latter poured him a cup of tea and handed it over.

Bai Xiaosheng also received it with both hands respectfully.

Manners were fundamental, reflecting a person’s cultivation and quality.

Even if the two sides were ”enemies,” as long as the pretense wasn’t pierced and the other side remained courteous, Bai Xiaosheng would reciprocate politely.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng showing such respect, Shen Peisheng also smiled and nodded slightly.

Tasting the tea that Shen Peisheng had praised, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but feel compelled to commend it.

The tea was Longjing tea, with the buds standing straight in the cup.

Look, the color is clear, smell, the fragrance is pervasive.

Upon closer observation, each bud and leaf, this could indeed be called ”One Flag One Spear,” the finest of the fine.

”Pre-Qingming Longjing, indeed a fine tea!” Bai Xiaosheng praised.

”A connoisseur!” Shen Peisheng pointed at Bai Xiaosheng and laughed heartily, ”If you like it, you can take some with you when you leave.”

”In that case, I thank you in advance, Sir Shen,” Bai Xiaosheng was not modest.

They, the older and the younger, then casually chatted about some amusing incidents.

Shen Peisheng knew Bai Xiaosheng was skilled in calligraphy and even exchanged views on it.

The atmosphere was truly harmonious.

Cheng Liu was just outside the door, watching with a smile, attending to their needs.

After tasting a pot of tea, Shen Peisheng signaled, and Cheng Liu began serving dishes.

The dinner was served à la carte, similar to a French meal, with dishes coming one after another.

Every dish, though minimal in quantity on the plate, was meticulously crafted for taste, aroma, and presentation, each flavor being exquisite.

Bai Xiaosheng, while enjoying the delicacies, often exclaimed that achieving such refinement truly matched the standards of this place.

After the dishes stimulated diverse flavors.

Shen Peisheng put down his chopsticks and smiled at Bai Xiaosheng, ”Sheng, you’ve been quite the talk of the town lately. I heard that several officers, regional industry heads, and over twenty key enterprise leaders have been investigated by you with solid evidence. This achievement is something even we senior officers cannot match.”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng genuinely laughed.

”Sir Shen, you flatter me too much. If you wish... you could easily outshine me in minutes!”

”After all, you have held high positions for a long time and have far more resources.”

”Not to mention, if you wish, you could certainly play a big game and have Officer Lin Yu overshadow me!”

With barbs hidden in his cotton, Bai Xiaosheng added, ”After all, it’s not like you haven’t done that before.”

Bai Xiaosheng said these words with a smile.

If it’s about eating, then manners matter.

But for these matters, they need not!

Cheng Liu barely perceptibly furrowed his brow.

But Shen Peisheng’s expression remained unchanged, his face beaming as he looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

”Actually, if Grand Affairs Officer Xiaosheng is willing, I could add a favor to make your gains even greater this time,” Shen Peisheng said smilingly, ”How about that?”

Bai Xiaosheng’s smile widened, ”Sir Shen, are you offering to help me? Wonderful, but I wonder, Sir Shen, what do you want in return?”

Shen Peisheng laughed heartily.

”What if I say, I want nothing?”

”And if I say, I just want to further our friendship, would you be willing?”

Shen Peisheng’s smile was warm and approachable.
