Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1417: Chapter 1273: I Will Buy It - Your 20 Years of Youth_2

Wei Tianhe just wanted to see if Bai Xiaosheng could resist this temptation.

”I, Bai Xiaosheng, thank you all for your kindness. However, the path I walk must be my own; that’s the only way it holds meaning.”

Bai Xiaosheng said something that sounded rather ”juvenile,” yet it was undeniably the truth: in the Zhenbei Group’s development, no one could truly lend him a hand.

What’s more, the elders’ promise was to help him rise to greater heights within three to five years.

For others, this would undoubtedly be thrilling.

But for Bai Xiaosheng, it didn’t resonate much, because—

Too slow!

With Red Lotus assisting him, with promotion scores and tasks, he could progress far faster than they ever could help him!

If he could do even better on his own, why rely on others?

Besides, his next step was heading to headquarters to defeat Shen Peishen and directly aim for the president-level position in the Greater China Region!

Thus, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t even hesitate before rejecting the offer outright.

To Wei Tianhe and the others, Bai Xiaosheng’s decisive refusal of this monumental temptation gave them a favorable impression of his character.

Wei Tianhe grew even fonder of Bai Xiaosheng, smiling as he remarked, ”This is how a real man should be—walking his own path is the only way to go further!”

The two elder ladies exchanged glances, smiled, and gave a nod, their opinion of Bai Xiaosheng rising even higher.

Even the thin elder gentleman couldn’t help himself and gave a thumbs up, ”Kid, you’ve got guts! No wonder the Wei Family allowed a boy without any background to pursue their most outstanding daughter! With such poise, there’s no doubt you’ll make us see you in a new light someday!”

Such praise was genuinely significant.

Luo Yuefeng and the other two elders couldn’t help but give Bai Xiaosheng a second look.

To be honest, they too found Bai Xiaosheng’s ambition and determination admirable.

Luo Yuefeng even harbored a passing thought: ”Dan Lun might not measure up to him.”

”What a pity, such a fine young man, why isn’t he a descendant of my Luo Family!” Inside, Luo Yuefeng felt a wave of regret.

Seeing that ”bribery” wasn’t going to work, the two elder ladies seemed somewhat low-spirited.

But Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, ”Ladies and gentlemen, I actually have a friend in Huaxia who specializes in crafting purple clay teapots. The two I gifted to Sir Wei had a great deal of his heart poured into them. Perhaps I could have him send a few of his best works here later; how about that?”

Bai Xiaosheng was, of course, referring to Li Ni.

As soon as he said this, the three elders’ eyes lit up.

Wei Tianhe, however, got anxious and kept staring at Bai Xiaosheng. How could this kid be so naive, blurting it out without consulting him first? Good stuff should naturally stay within the family!

Smiling, Bai Xiaosheng continued, ”However, my friend doesn’t like being disturbed, so his creations can only pass through me. I wouldn’t dare trouble you all directly, so how about I send them to Sir Wei, and you elder friends can see them and chat when you gather? As for how to divide the teapots, I, as a junior, have no right to interfere.”

With that comment, Wei Tianhe beamed, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with increasing approval.

The plump elder lady, the thin elder lady, and the thin elder gentleman were all sharp enough to notice Bai Xiaosheng was simultaneously trying to please them while catering to Wei Tianhe, and they couldn’t help but look at the young man fondly.

Initially, they thought he was just an honest and straightforward junior—now look at him, brimming with tactful cleverness...

As everyone chatted, the food and wine were soon served.

The dishes, while not all rare delicacies, were undeniably crafted with top-tier culinary skill, making them a delight to savor.

Bai Xiaosheng sat with the elders, enjoying the Wei Family’s fine brews and exquisite food.

At the Bell Chime Pavilion, laughter filled the air.

Meanwhile, halfway up the mountain, peers of Wei Xueqi were also taking their seats. Those remarkable figures of the Wei Family—rarely assembling together—naturally had endless topics to discuss. The hottest of all? The outsider who’d come today to woo Xuelian and had even managed to dine with Grandpa.

These Wei Family prodigies, each renowned in their own right, couldn’t resist gossiping about this unexpected development.

Sitting at the lowest-tier table, Wei Xueyuan heard this news and was utterly stunned, sitting there dumbfounded, his mind awash with complicated emotions.

...

The banquet lasted until two in the afternoon before finally concluding.

Wei Tianhe, who often took afternoon naps, was clearly running late for his rest.

During post-meal tea, Mr. He insisted that Wei Tianhe take a break, and he eventually agreed.

Luo Yuefeng and the others also took their leave.

Luo Yuefeng, having come in high spirits but left disappointed, departed with a sense of defeat, his gait showing traces of lethargy.

The three elder ladies, though they didn’t receive any purple clay teapots, felt there might be opportunities ahead and left with a sliver of anticipation.

Before leaving, they repeatedly instructed Bai Xiaosheng and Wei Tianhe, only departing after the reminders.

When the group of old companions was gone, Wei Tianhe prepared to rest as well.

Before leaving, he specifically called Bai Xiaosheng forward, ”What I promised you has been communicated, and Zhangzun will handle the arrangements. But that doesn’t mean it will be smooth sailing for you and Xuelian... There’s still a massive hurdle waiting for you, though I believe you’ll overcome it...”

Bai Xiaosheng was momentarily puzzled.

Wei Tianhe smiled and patted his shoulder, ”You’ll understand soon enough. I have faith in you!”

With this cryptic message left, Wei Tianhe strode away.

Mr. He arranged for someone to escort Bai Xiaosheng down the mountain.

At the mountain’s top trailhead, Bai Xiaosheng reunited with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, and they began heading down together.

Before reaching the halfway point, they were intercepted by someone who said the Family Head wanted to see them.

The Family Head, Wei Changzun, was Wei Xuelian’s father and Bai Xiaosheng’s prospective future father-in-law. Bai Xiaosheng didn’t dare tarry and immediately followed the person down the mountain along with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.
