Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1086: Chapter 1086: Big Misunderstanding

Bai Xiaosheng and his group had just entered the headquarters building of Dacheng Group when a man in a neatly tailored suit, carrying an air of cultured grace, quickly approached them.

He wore a smile and enthusiasm sparkled in his eyes.

This man was the head of the security team at Dacheng Group. Not wearing a uniform but a suit, he was in charge of security and some reception duties and also managed the front desk, somewhat like a lobby manager.

Therefore, internally, he was also called the ”Security Manager”.

As soon as the Security Manager arrived, he stopped them in their tracks.

However, what Bai Xiaosheng and his group received was not an interrogation but proactive, enthusiastic, and polite inquiries.

To the extent that Bai Xiaosheng and his companions secretly admired this service mindset of Dacheng Group—it was truly ahead of its time.

In reality, Li Shiyue had already alerted the staff early in the morning—

Any outsider coming today should not be underestimated or offended!

One mishap could potentially cause great trouble for the company!

Thus, the staff paid great attention, with the Security Manager focusing keenly and always keeping an eye on unfamiliar visitors.

Once Wang Yingxue and Liu Beicheng arrived, he noticed them, but Li Shiyue had stepped forward, so he stepped aside.

The conversation between Li Shiyue, Wang Yingxue, and Liu Beicheng wasn’t pleasant, but since all were cultured individuals, they didn’t argue loudly. Those slightly farther away couldn’t tell whether their discussion was positive or negative and dared not come closer to gossip.

However, it was clear that Li Shiyue was unable to extricate herself.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng and his group arrive, the ”part-time” welcoming Security Manager naturally went up to meet them and took the initiative to receive them.

With guests present, naturally, he had to ask how to address them.

Among the three, Lei Ying, with a martial background, had a deep and magnetic voice, the loudest of all.

Furthermore, Li Shiyue had been particularly sensitive to anyone ”surnamed Lei” all morning.

As soon as Lei Ying introduced himself, his name could be heard on the other side.

Li Shiyue thought he was Mr. Shang’s friend, Mr. Lei, and immediately left Wang Yingxue and Liu Beicheng to walk over.

In Li Shiyue’s view, since Mr. Shang’s friend could facilitate this meeting, he must hold a status equivalent to Mr. Shang and the Zhang Family people, higher than that of these assistants.

It is clear there’s a hierarchy, which is not wrong.

Moreover, in Li Shiyue’s view, Wang Yingxue and Liu Beicheng merely rode on the coattails of the Zhang Family, waving a big banner as a tiger’s skin.

They were all assistants, and she hadn’t really done anything improper, so let them be!

At most, they would report her to higher-ups or make her job difficult!

Wang Yingxue watched in astonishment as Li Shiyue walked away, her face displaying a ”how dare she treat me this way” expression.

Liu Beicheng, on the other hand, watched Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions with a cold gaze. Seeing Li Shiyue as if seeing a savior, he sneered and softly said, ”What big shot has arrived? Let’s go and see too!”

...

There, Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei were amazed to find that from the moment Lei Ying introduced himself, the Security Manager’s eyes lit up, and he instantly treated him with utmost respect, as though welcoming a most revered guest.

”Mr. Lei, you’ve finally arrived. We’ve been waiting for you all morning! You, you...”

The Security Manager wanted to say ”Please come inside”.

But Mr. Shang wasn’t around, and Secretary Li Shiyue was occupied talking to others, so this ”please”... where to?

However, not inviting such an esteemed guest inside and leaving him standing there might make Mr. Shang and Secretary Li blame him for neglecting a valued guest.

The Security Manager suddenly felt at a loss.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei looked at the Security Manager and then at Lei Ying, intrigued.

It seemed as though Lei Ying was the close friend or relative of Mr. Shang Wenshu...

No, a recognized Senior Affairs Officer!

Such treatment for distinguished guests...

Lei Ying looked bewildered and was tempted to ask the manager if he had mistaken him for someone else.

”Mr. Lei, you’ve finally arrived!” Another crisp, pleasant, and incredibly charming voice called out.

Bai Xiaosheng and his companions turned their heads and saw a strikingly beautiful woman approaching.

Dressed like a glamorous secretary, her eyes shone with immense warmth toward Lei Ying, radiating brilliance.

”I am Li Shiyue, Mr. Shang Wenshu’s secretary. Mr. Shang is currently at the hotel, but he asked me to welcome you here. Please go to Mr. Shang’s office and have a seat; he will be back soon!”

Li Shiyue extended her delicate hand to shake with Lei Ying and then nodded smilingly at Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei.

After speaking, Li Shiyue also gave a signal behind her and whispered, ”The Zhang Family people have already arrived!”

Li Shiyue thought Lei Ying was the Mr. Lei, thinking he knew everything.

But Lei Ying was truly clueless.

He couldn’t help but exchange a glance with Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei, then said seriously, ”Miss Li, I...”

Lei Ying wanted to say he wasn’t.

”Who is this?” A cold, mocking female voice came, interrupting Lei Ying’s words and drawing everyone’s attention.

Li Shiyue stepped aside, turned around, and Bai Xiaosheng and the others also looked over curiously.

Wang Yingxue, looking proud, walked over with her chin up.

Liu Beicheng followed beside her, smiling, yet his gaze slid over Bai Xiaosheng and the others with a hint of faint disdain.

In their eyes, the ”honored guests” that Li Shiyue relied on were these two men and a woman?

The older man was in his forties, the younger one not even thirty years old, the woman as well.

At such ages, how could they be significant figures?

Or, were they from some wealthy family?

What a joke, in the nearby provinces, there are no families on par with the Zhang Family!

Wang Yingxue eyed Lin Weiwei coldly, feeling her temperament and beauty were somewhat more impressive than hers, which immediately annoyed her.

”This Mr. Lei is a friend of Mr. Shang Wenshu and also involved in the mediation, Miss Wang must know this,” Li Shiyue said indifferently.

The other party was just an assistant, a secretary, it was one thing for her to show off her power.

Surely she wouldn’t be discourteous to Mr. Lei!

Mr. Lei could speak with Zhang Family people, his status was naturally above them!

That’s what Li Shiyue believed.

Lei Ying and Wang Yingxue were both taken aback, sizing each other up, both about to speak.

Lei Ying wanted to clear up the misunderstanding.

He was no mediator, and besides, on this trip, Bai Xiaosheng was the friend of Shang Wenshu, their Senior Affairs Officer.

Wang Yingxue wanted to ask.

Who is this?

The mediator’s surname was supposed to be Gu, since when did it change to Lei?

Li Shiyue might not know that Shang Wenshu had asked her to meet the mediator, Mr. Lei, but there was a slight pause in her words, she even thought Shang Wenshu had been distracted at the time.

Little did she know that the mediator and Mr. Lei were two different people!

His friend Mr. Lei had found the mediator through connections and a substantial amount of money.

This misunderstanding was huge.

...

Lei Ying opened his mouth to speak but then felt someone tug at him from behind.

He looked in surprise, Bai Xiaosheng gave him a faint smile and shook his head slightly, clearly signaling him not to clarify.

Bai Xiaosheng had been listening by the side, gathering bits of information from the conversations and gauging the current situation.

Bai Xiaosheng sensed something unusual and found it amusing, hence he decided to observe.

When Wang Yingxue was about to speak, someone silently poked her.

Wang Yingxue glanced at Liu Beicheng beside her, who also smiled meaningfully.

A thought struck Wang Yingxue, ”The people from Shang Wenshu’s side are too arrogant! They find some random person and claim he’s the mediator? Why should I enlighten them!”

An idea dawned on Wang Yingxue, and she sneered inwardly.

”Even the previous mediator had to come begging us, and with the Zhang Family’s power, we really don’t need to deal with them.”

”However, haha, we just need this mediation!”

”It’s perfect that an unknown person has come to participate in the mediation. If the young master wants to take advantage of the situation, he can flare up at any time!”

”We can also squeeze as much as possible from them, making them pay a bigger price!”

Wang Yingxue made up her mind and immediately fell silent. She glanced at Lei Ying again and felt that although this man had a decent appearance, his demeanor was mainly imposing, with a robust body and developed muscles, more like a ”rough man.”

She then disregarded him even more.

Li Shiyue introduced Lei Ying, suddenly realizing the atmosphere was a bit strange. The people from both sides seemed to be making faces at each other, but when she looked over, they appeared normal again.

This gave Li Shiyue a peculiar feeling.

”Is it my imagination?” Li Shiyue even wondered to herself.

”The issue of mediation, we as the servants don’t manage. We only take care of the details of the arrangements to make our young master comfortable. If the luncheon is not well organized, it’s us who will be blamed, not you all.”

Wang Yingxue spitefully said to Li Shiyue, ”Now, let’s go to the restaurant, meet Mr. Shang Wenshu, and let him make the adjustments on-site.”

Li Shiyue had long been reluctant to see them and nodded immediately, about to say something, but then she heard Lei Ying speak.

”Since Mr. Shang is over there, good, we’ll go too!”
