Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1081: Chapter 1081: He Wants to Kill Me, I Want to Kill Him

Facing Shen Peishen, who seemed a mix of joy, madness, and anger, Bai Xiaosheng’s expression showed only a bit of seriousness, yet none of fear, dread, or apprehension.

In fact, before he came, he had already anticipated the outcome of today’s banquet negotiation.

A breakdown in talks was certain.

Shen Peishen could not back down, and neither could Bai Xiaosheng!

It was destined to end on an unhappy note, destined to face an enraged Shen Peishen.

But Shen Peishen’s laughter, anger, and ferociousness, all mixed together in such an agitated state, was something Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t expected.

He hadn’t expected the other party to hold such a high opinion of him, almost as if seeing him as a confidant.

”Sir Shen, you’re looking to advance further, which is right, and you want to replace Elder Xia, which is also right,” Bai Xiaosheng said in a deep voice, ”Sadly, you’ve taken the wrong path!”

”Hehe, my path is wrong, and yours is right? Or do you want to say we do not scheme together because our paths diverge!”

Shen Peishen’s maniacal expression seemed to have lasted only for a brief moment, and now he forcibly suppressed it back down.

Only his eyes remained, shining brightly!

This was the emotional control of a person who had been a shrewd character in the business world for decades!

Something beyond the imagination of an ordinary person!

Shen Peishen sneered, ”I admit, what you just said is not bad! Unfortunately, those things you say I’m after, including Xiahou Qi’s position, are merely what I wanted ten years ago. Now, isn’t it difficult for you, Bai Xiaosheng, a recognized genius, to see what I truly desire and pursue?”

”You’re still too young!”

Shen Peishen did not shout these words; on the contrary, he sounded deeply regretful, even letting out a light sigh.

Like Bai Xiaosheng, just so-so, unable to guess what he truly wanted without his own deep hints.

Young, with little experience, even a genius could only reach so far.

Shen Peishen felt some regret.

At the doorway, Cheng Liu, Shen Peishen’s absolute confidant, had been listening all along. Beyond being surprised at Bai Xiaosheng, he also sneered to himself.

Trying to interpret his own mentor, this kid was still green by twenty years!

”Your current desires and pursuits?” Bai Xiaosheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly his heart stirred. After a long while, he finally spoke leisurely, ”Someone like you must have gathered a lot of problematic characters around you. These people will be your greatest aid in ascending to the presidency of the Greater China Region!”

”They must all look forward to the day of your success as the day their good times truly begin. Sadly, since ancient times, all heroic figures end up with ’birds gone’ and ’good bows hidden.’”

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, ”One thing those emperors loved to do upon their accession was to sweep away their meritorious officials.”

”Especially since the ’meritorious officials’ around you are problematic characters!”

”To take over as president of the Greater China Region, and in a short time, sweep away all problematic individuals, eliminate chronic maladies, showing headquarters your capabilities. In that case, even further advancement beyond your current high standing may not be impossible!”

”Your true goal is not the presidency of the Greater China Region but reaching an even higher position within your lifetime!”

”Moreover, you desire a thoroughly cleansed Greater China Region!”

As Bai Xiaosheng deduced step by step, by the end, he couldn’t help but feel a bit of admiration.

What a noble ambition, for Shen Peishen to still aspire to such heights at his age, unprecedented!

At the door, Cheng Liu was startled into silence. Bai Xiaosheng’s words gave him a realization, an enlightening insight.

The heart of his mentor’s aspirations was not just the presidency of the Greater China Region but—something even higher and farther!

Cheng Liu couldn’t help but look towards his own mentor.

After Bai Xiaosheng finished speaking, Shen Peishen’s eyes narrowed to the extreme, staring fixedly at Bai Xiaosheng, not blinking at all.

”Could it be, he guessed right!” Cheng Liu jumped in fright.

Shen Peishen pointed at Bai Xiaosheng, smiling privately as if with a grudge.

”Why, won’t you stand by my side!”

”If I invite you once again and promise that within ten years, I will make you the president of the Greater China Region, would you be willing to join me?”

This promise from Shen Peishen startled Cheng Liu.

His own teacher not only had far-reaching desires but was actually intent on personally creating a president of the Greater China Region!

What kind of thinking is that, who else could have such visions!

Bai Xiaosheng was nonchalant, not touched by Shen Peishen’s proposition in the slightest.

A joke?

President of the Greater China Region in ten years?

His goal was the chairmanship of the Zhenbei Group!

Although being the president of the Greater China Region meant being superior in one’s domain, glorious and unmatched,

compared to the highest position, it was nothing to be taken seriously!

Under Cheng Liu’s complex gaze, Bai Xiaosheng stood up and smiled at Xiahou Qi, ”Thank you for the hospitality, but I think this meal is about enough. I have to go.”

Shen Peishen watched Bai Xiaosheng intently.

He believed that Bai Xiaosheng knew that he could do it, yet still refused!

Could it be that even the position of President of the Greater China Region could not move this kid?

Shen Peishen’s eyes faintly glimmered.

At this moment, he truly felt that the two of them were of the same kind.

Hearts soaring higher than the sky!

Bai Xiaosheng turned and left, taking several steps before suddenly stopping. Without turning his head, he asked, ”Earlier, you seemed crazed and angry, saying you wanted to take care of me. Was that to scare me, to give me a second chance, were you trying to make me waver and eventually surrender?”

Characters as shrewd as him wouldn’t easily show such emotional fluctuations.

Shen Peishen laughed, as calm and gentle, steady and dignified as ever, ”What do you think?”

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t guess.

He walked straight out, passing Cheng Liu and smiling at him.

Cheng Liu couldn’t help but smile back at Bai Xiaosheng.

In the face of this young man, even Cheng Liu’s eyes betrayed a hint of awe.

A demon!

His teacher often said this kid was a demon.

Hearing it often, he didn’t think much of it, but upon seeing him recently, he understood the true meaning of being a demon—

Lost in the crowd, impossible to guess his thoughts!

Such a person is worthy of awe!

Cheng Liu personally escorted Bai Xiaosheng to the door, watching as others took him away before returning.

Shen Peishen poured himself a drink.

Regret was the predominant emotion in his expression.

”Why doesn’t he stand with me!”

”When I succeed, wiping out the demons of the Greater China Region, won’t it still bring about a clear sky?”

”Such a good path, why won’t he walk it!”

Cheng Liu saw it clear, his teacher, he truly valued the talent.

That kind of feeling shown by his teacher, not even Lin Yu had it.

Cheng Liu didn’t dare to advise, and kept silent.

After a long time, Shen Peishen finally looked up at him.

”Teacher, should we set up a death trap for Bai Xiaosheng?” asked Cheng Liu.

If not a friend, then an enemy!

Shen Peishen thought for a moment.

”What I said earlier was indeed to bluff and deceive him. Dealing with Bai Xiaosheng is not urgent, especially not at this time, not even in the near future! However, we can start planning.”

”Guo Yunxin and Sun Youhe, if they’re lost, they’re lost; they’re insignificant.”

”Even if Xiahou Qi knows that those people rely on me, so what, there’s no evidence.”

”Bai Xiaosheng is exceptionally intelligent, capable, but still has a shallow foundation. Even with Chen Yucheng on his side, it’s not a threat to me.”

Shen Peishen couldn’t help saying, ”People change, Lin Yu does, so might Bai Xiaosheng!”

”Of course, if Bai Xiaosheng crosses the line in the future, if he exceeds my bottom line, I wouldn’t mind taking care of him ahead of time!”

Cheng Liu nodded.

Shen Peishen thought for a moment, his gaze flickering slightly, ”That Yu Ying from the Business Department, she was quite close to Bai Xiaosheng today, wasn’t she?”

Cheng Liu nodded again.

”Arrange it, I’d like to meet this girl,” Shen Peishen said with a smile.

At this very moment, Bai Xiaosheng was leaving with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

Once out of the alley, Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but look around and quietly asked Bai Xiaosheng, ”Sheng, how did your talk go?”

Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment and smiled.

”Very well.”

”He wants to kill me, and I want to kill him.”
