Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1285: Chapter 1226: Unusual Men and Women

The size of the place naturally exposed a downside—it was hard to find, especially since Bai Xiaosheng had not given advance notice.

Zunbai Zhisheng has two buildings, and Bai Xiaosheng and his companions accidentally went to the wrong one at first.

After walking an extra loop and entering the real headquarters building, they found the management there to be very strict.

Not only did they need to register, but they also needed to specify exactly whom they were looking for before being allowed upstairs.

Bai Xiaosheng and his companions gave Ron’s name, and the receptionist’s eyes instantly narrowed with a wary look.

”You’re looking for our Mr. Luo! Do you have an appointment?!”

Naturally, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions did not!

”You’re not salespeople, are you!” the receptionist said coldly, ”Some people pretended to be clients the other day, wanting to see Mr. Luo, but actually, they were selling yachts! Even I was nearly deceived, and it almost cost me my bonus! You don’t seem like friends of Mr. Luo; what exactly are you here for!”

Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions might look the part, but they were too young!

Young enough to raise doubts!

Feeling scrutinized like this, Bai Xiaosheng felt a sense of lamentation.

To have his own company’s employees treat him, the real ”behind-the-scenes big boss,” as a mere salesman was quite ironic.

It felt even more tragic than his experience at Xue Lian Wan He...

”Actually, we’re here to see Mr. Luo on business. We’re quite familiar with Miss Miranda,” Lin Weiwei said smartly, taking out her phone to show the receptionist her WeChat conversation with Miranda.

Lin Weiwei had chatted with Miranda about European fashion and cosmetics, and since then, the two women had become good friends.

Now, this connection came in handy.

The receptionist took the phone, looked at the WeChat ID, and carefully checked it against the company’s contact list.

After making sure it was correct, she finally relaxed, smiled, and said, ”So you’re friends with Miss Miranda, then there’s no problem at all.”

The receptionist said warmly, ”You can take the elevator over there, go directly to the twelfth floor, to her office. Mr. Luo’s office is also on that level. However, they are all in a meeting and may be unreachable. Once you are upstairs, you can explain your identity to Miss Miranda’s secretary.”

”Okay, thank you.”

Lin Weiwei took her phone back and thanked the receptionist with a smile.

Only then were the three of them allowed to pass.

As they rushed towards the elevator lobby, Bai Xiaosheng looked around in awe, ”How much has the company actually expanded!”

It seemed that there were many people, and Ron’s office was all the way up on the twelfth floor?

How extravagant!

Bai Xiaosheng recalled carefully; it seemed Ron had mentioned that this building was still for rent, but the tenant must be rigorously vetted, rather have it empty than compromise.

The bottom line was that it must be a member of the Fortune Global 500.

Otherwise, it’s better to leave it vacant, not to make money than to settle for less.

As for the losses incurred by vacancies, they were negligible.

Having neighbors who are Fortune Global 500 companies would showcase strength and elevate the prestige, the advertising effect of which far outweighs the losses.

Strictly speaking, this was also a kind of advertising strategy.

Bai Xiaosheng also approved of this.

While waiting for the elevator, another group arrived, led by a man and a woman.

Both in their thirties, they were followed by several assistants and bodyguards.

The man was older, composed, with gestures and movements exuding gentlemanly manners.

The woman was very beautiful, with an air of aloofness, a great figure, and her eyes looking down on people with a cold and lofty gaze.

The two individuals bore a resemblance to each other, suggesting a blood relation.

As the man and woman approached, they were engaged in lively conversation. Upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng and his group, the woman lightly furrowed her brows and extended a slender jade-like finger, beckoning an assistant forward with a slight curl of her finger.

The woman whispered to the assistant, who then frequently looked at Bai Xiaosheng and his companions, nodding repeatedly.

Soon after, the assistant approached Bai Xiaosheng’s group with a smile, seeming to recognize Bai Xiaosheng as the leader, and headed straight to him.

”Sir,” the assistant spoke with a smile, showing great courtesy.

”What can I do for you?” Bai Xiaosheng naturally responded with a smile as well.

”You see, the elevator is about to arrive. We’d like to go up first, as Little Mr. Luo and Miss Luo have an urgent matter to discuss, not suitable to be held in front of others. Could you possibly wait for the next one?” the assistant suggested smilingly, ”We don’t want you to wait for nothing. Please accept a little token of appreciation.”

As he spoke, the assistant took out a bundle of money from an accompanying bag, bound to represent ten thousand yuan.

Bai Xiaosheng looked in surprise at the man and woman.

What a bold move!

They were willing to spend ten thousand yuan just to have the elevator to themselves!

Quite extravagant!

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also looked over in surprise.

”Sorry, we would like to go up as soon as possible, too. We don’t want to earn this money,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, shaking his head in refusal.

Waiting for just a few or ten more minutes could bring in ten thousand yuan, such an easy windfall, yet Bai Xiaosheng simply didn’t want to agree to it.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying did not find anything inappropriate with that.

They really weren’t short on money.

Now, it was the assistant’s turn to be taken aback.

It was their first time seeing someone who would turn down money!

To think that such a rare opportunity, one that might not come even once in hundreds of years, was being squandered!

”Please, just wait a few more minutes, and you’ll have ten thousand yuan. Is that not okay?!” the assistant asked in surprise.

Bai Xiaosheng just smiled without saying anything.

Unmoved.

His demeanor also caused the assistant to give Bai Xiaosheng another look, but still undiscouraged, he tentatively asked, ”What if I add a little more, would you be willing then? Twenty thousand? No? How about thirty thousand? Still no?”

Bai Xiaosheng was candid, ”Don’t bother adding more. The elevator is spacious enough; everyone can fit in. Even if Little Mr. Luo and Miss Luo are in a rush, they don’t need to be in such a hurry for these few minutes. Going up together and discussing their matters might even be better.”

”I’m saving you some money,” Bai Xiaosheng added humorously.

They weren’t far from each other, so Bai Xiaosheng’s words weren’t said in a lowered voice and naturally carried over.

The man and woman immediately turned to look over.

Bai Xiaosheng and his companions also looked back at them.

Both parties calmly made eye contact, assessing each other.

The assistant gave a sheepish smile, about to report back, but the woman gestured with her hand to stop him.

Having already heard, there was naturally no need to repeat it.

Lin Weiwei had been watching that woman closely and suddenly leaned in close to Bai Xiaosheng, lowering her voice and laughing mischievously, ”Xiaosheng, look at her bag; it’s just like mine. But hers must be the genuine limited edition, worth over a hundred thousand. My online shopping ”inspired by” version cost me just a few hundred. But I think mine is pretty good. From afar, you can’t even tell the difference.”

Lin Weiwei’s voice was very low, but there was an obvious patting of her bag, which immediately caught the woman’s attention.

Seeing that she had the same bag as Lin Weiwei, the woman’s brow furrowed instantly.

Bai Xiaosheng just smiled and didn’t bother to comment.

Yet the woman directly took off her handbag, pulled out a few things from it, and handed it to the assistant, ”Get rid of it for me!”

The assistant took the bag as if it were the most natural thing in the world and headed straight for the trash can.

Just because of a similar bag, she would throw it away?

Such a scene shocked Bai Xiaosheng and his two friends.

That was rather extreme!

”Hey, you don’t need to throw it away. Actually, mine is a fake,” Lin Weiwei kindly reminded.

The woman gave Lin Weiwei a smile, her voice cool and calm, ”It’s okay, little sister. Mine is real, but I can afford to dispose of it!”

The woman spoke evenly, without a hint of show-off or pride, just completely matter-of-fact.

This left Lin Weiwei speechless, unsure of what to say next.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but shake his head inwardly.

Opulent, truly opulent!

He might never be able to do the same, no matter how wealthy he got, just like the day before, when he picked up the coin that had fallen on the ground.

If it were up to this lady, she probably wouldn’t even give it a glance.

With a ”ding,” the elevator arrived.

As the door opened, the people inside began to exit.

After everyone had cleared out, Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions entered.

The man and woman exchanged glances and followed suit.

When the assistants tried to enter, the man spoke up.

”The space isn’t that big; you wait for the next one.”

The assistants immediately halted.

An elevator that could easily fit everyone is ’not that big’?

Bai Xiaosheng and the others were astonished and couldn’t help but give the pair another look.

What was the story behind this pair of ”attention-seekers”?!
