Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1272: Chapter 1219: The Proud Jiang Hao_3

However, his tone and expression both carried a hint of fanning the flames.

Li Ni’s face changed slightly, his eyes showing a complex emotion.

Jiang Hao was willing to include him, perhaps to thank him for taking care of Guo Yueyao...

Bai Xiaosheng noted this and thought to himself, ”So their entrepreneurial ventures are not the same after all.”

The people surrounding Jiang Hao began to speak up at this point.

They were clearly favoring Jiang Hao.

”With someone as connected as Brother Hao, would he lack discretion in his actions? Impossible! I think it’s that young man’s fault!”

”Exactly! Brother Hao, let’s be magnanimous and not dwell on these trivial matters. Let’s go now, it’s already past ten.”

”Yes, yes, important matters first. We only have from ten to twelve in the morning, just two hours, or we’ll have to wait until the afternoon.”

...

A myriad of voices.

Jiang Hao nodded slightly, his face stern as he raised his voice and coldly snapped, ”Li Ni, let’s go.”

The tone was as if he was calling a dog.

This time, Li Ni did not move his feet and shook his head stubbornly.

”Jiang Hao, this time, I won’t apply with you. I’ll do it on my own.”

It’s wrong to make a mistake, and it’s even worse not to admit it, but to be so self-righteous.

Then forgive me, Li Ni, for not following your path.

”Your head is full of mud!” Jiang Hao sneered angrily, cursed out, then raised his hand to beckon those around him, ”Let’s go, I have some solid advice to give. Those who don’t keep up, it’s their loss for not hearing it!”

”Exactly!”

”It should have been like this all along!”

”Brother Hao, after you!”

The crowd escorted Jiang Hao as they moved inside.

Zhou Sifang looked at Li Ni and let out a light chuckle, his eyes conveying a ”you had it coming” expression, and he followed along.

Guo Yueyao snorted coldly in disdain and also followed.

Bai Xiaosheng had been watching from the sidelines the entire time. Once those people had left, he then teased Li Ni with a smile, ”That Jiang Hao seems to have a lot of connections. Aren’t you missing out on opportunities by doing this?”

Li Ni looked at Bai Xiaosheng, gave a bitter smile, and sighed, ”Jiang Hao does indeed have his people in this company!”

”Oh?” Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes showed surprise, and he immediately asked with a smile, ”Aren’t you missing out on a huge opportunity then? Not having those connections, won’t that significantly impact your investment application?”

Li Ni sighed lightly, ”How could it not? It definitely will!”

”But, there’s nothing I can do; this is just who I am. Maybe, as Jiang Hao said, I have ’a head full of mud’.”

Li Ni lamented, ”Maybe it’s hereditary.”

Bai Xiaosheng laughed out loud, then patted Li Ni on the shoulder, taking him along to move forward.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying followed behind.

For this Li Ni, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also felt he was a decent person and had a fairly positive impression of him.

At that moment, with Jiang Hao and his group ahead, Bai Xiaosheng and his party didn’t want to follow too closely and slowed down their pace, trailing at a distance.

Bai Xiaosheng and Li Ni chatted as they walked along.

”Li Ni, your name is quite unique. And Jiang Hao said you have ’a head full of mud’, and you mentioned inheritance, what’s that about?” Bai Xiaosheng was curious and asked before laughing, ”If I shouldn’t ask, then I apologize first. If you don’t want to answer, you don’t have to.”

Bai Xiaosheng was indeed very polite.

Li Ni glanced at him and said with a bitter smile, ”Actually, I come from a family of purple clay artists. You know, the ones who specialize in making Zisha teapots. My great-grandfather was Li Shuhe, with the honorific title Mr. Zhengshan.”

Li Ni actually mentioned the name of his great-grandfather.

His great-grandfather had an honorific title?

A thought sparked in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.

Red Lotus immediately pulled up the information.

A great master of Zisha teapot making, Mr. Zhengshan!

Bai Xiaosheng felt a bit surprised at the influx of information in his head.

The data showed that Mr. Zhengshan was quite renowned in the world of Zisha teapot making, even being called one of the ten great modern craftsmen.

Unfortunately, his existing works were very few, but each one was extremely valuable.

This Li Ni was descended from a celebrity!

”My apologies, it turns out that you come from a distinguished legacy,” Bai Xiaosheng said.

Li Ni gave a bitter smile, ”It is rare for Brother Bai to know my great-grandfather’s name. Let’s not talk about it anymore. Since my grandfather’s generation, our craft has declined, and by my father’s time, he wasn’t skilled at all. I want to carry on the legacy, but apart from a few manuscripts on teapot making handwritten by my great-grandfather, I have had to figure out everything else on my own. To be honest, I’m not very talented; I haven’t achieved much over the years...”

As Li Ni talked, he even seemed a bit discouraged.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a surprised look.

So this Li Ni had such a background.

”Then why did you come this time?” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but ask.

”I don’t have their ambitious goals; I just wanted to apply for a small venture capital fund to rediscover ancient craftsmanship,” Li Ni said, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Because his investment was indeed tiny.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded frankly, ”Yeah, indeed, seeking commercial investment for your craft is like throwing money into the water.”

”...”, Li Ni.

Li Ni smiled bitterly, ”But following Jiang Hao, there might be a chance, he really does have connections.”

”Oh?” Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes showed curiosity.

Li Ni looked ahead then lowered his voice to Bai Xiaosheng, ”The person in charge of reviewing the projects this time... is his cousin!”
