Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1429: Chapter 1277: Headquarters, the Waters Are Too Deep_2

Her brother William, Wei Xueyuan of the Wei Family, isn’t even worthy of comparison.

She, Sophia, the William Family’s heiress and a high-ranking woman in Zhenbei Group, could distinctly feel a hint of pressure.

”Miss Sophia is too kind.” Bai Xiaosheng replied with a calm smile.

In Bai Xiaosheng’s mind, he was contemplating whether to reveal his true identity to her.

If he were to disclose it, there was undoubtedly a risk of leaking confidential information.

But if he chose not to, by tomorrow, when they inevitably met again, would she think he had been dishonest? Would her impression of him plummet?

Tomorrow, after all, would require the Executive Officer’s accompaniment for the review!

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but calculate the pros and cons of revealing his identity versus withholding it.

Behind Bai Xiaosheng, Wei Xueyuan’s expression had turned wary.

The man and woman ahead were chatting and laughing amicably, with William’s sister showing a keen interest, which Wei Xueyuan found hard to tolerate.

Truth be told, from the day of the family banquet, Wei Xueyuan had been thoroughly impressed by Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng had come from a poor family yet managed to make powerful allies like Lu Yun and other giants in the industry, even convincing them to visit the Wei Family and offer support!

Wei Xueyuan couldn’t help but feel inferior.

Bai Xiaosheng not only won unrelenting praise from the Wei Family Head and his spouse but also earned the great admiration of Wei Tianhe, Sir Wei, even joining him for lunch!

Wei Xueyuan admired him all the more.

The little bit of unease and discontent Wei Xueyuan had felt was completely shattered by the successive shocks Bai Xiaosheng delivered that day!

The world operates in this way—if someone is only slightly stronger than you, you may resent it; but if they far surpass you, you’ll instead accept it with calm resignation.

And today, Bai Xiaosheng’s heroic efforts in taking down that gang of desperadoes and saving him left Wei Xueyuan utterly incapable of feeling any resentment toward him. He naturally began to support Bai Xiaosheng as his cousin’s boyfriend.

Moreover, on that day, Wei Xueyuan’s impressions shifted not only toward Bai Xiaosheng but also toward his cousin Wei Xuelian.

Wei Xueyuan had once wondered, ”What qualities does Wei Xuelian even possess? Why should a mere woman be the first in line to inherit the title of Family Head in the future?” He had been dissatisfied.

Yet on their grandfather’s birthday, when distinguished guests visited, he and the younger generation dined together at a table. He overheard the family prodigies’ evaluations of Wei Xuelian’s accomplishments over the past year and their unanimous praise of her. One meal, and Wei Xueyuan realized how foolish he had been.

His own capabilities paled in comparison to Wei Xuelian’s!

That day marked a real turning point in Wei Xueyuan’s attitude toward Wei Xuelian.

Regardless of whether that attitude had fully transformed, Wei Xueyuan felt it was his duty to protect the Wei Family’s interests in external matters.

Reflected in the present moment, this meant ensuring outsiders did not covet his ”Cousin Wei Xuelian’s” Bai Xiaosheng. He could not stand idly by!

Thus, Wei Xueyuan seized the opportunity to interject, ”Sophia, Xiaosheng is certainly no ordinary person. He is my cousin Wei Xuelian’s boyfriend! He has won the approval of the Wei Family Head and my grandfather!”

The implication was clear: Bai Xiaosheng was taken!

Don’t even think about making a move on him!

Wei Xueyuan’s ”reminder” left Sophia stunned.

Sophia’s expression showed amazement as she couldn’t help but glance at Wei Xueyuan, then fix her gaze on Bai Xiaosheng. She exclaimed in astonishment, ”What? You are Miss Xuelian’s... So, even Wei and Sir Wei have acknowledged you!”

Sophia was genuinely a little shocked.

The Wei Family, despite being weaker than Zhenbei Group globally, held unparalleled dominance in Ganande.

In Ganande, the Wei Family was absolutely the strongest clan, with no equals!

The William Family, Chinatown’s Bai Family—none of them could compare!

Even someone like Wei Xueyuan, who wasn’t favored in the Wei Family, was important enough for the William Family to assign people to forge connections.

As for Wei Xuelian, Sophia was even more familiar.

After all, Wei Xuelian was the first in line to inherit the title of Family Head!

And the man standing before her...

He was the man of the future Wei Family Head!

Not only that, but he was also recognized by the current Wei Family Head and the previous Family Head.

This man’s family background, standing, and abilities must be impeccable!

Sophia, originally just curious about Bai Xiaosheng, now felt an overwhelming fervor!

Yet, seasoned in the business world and born into a prominent family, Sophia kept her emotions well in check, revealing not a trace.

Even Bai Xiaosheng only sensed a fleeting moment of emotional turbulence within her.

”It’s merely the kindness of Wei and Sir Wei. In terms of profession and position, I’m afraid I can’t compare to Miss Sophia.”

Bai Xiaosheng offered a polite smile in response.

Wei Xueyuan’s ”reminder” was, in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, nothing short of a perfect assist—painting him with an aura of mystery and strength.

If the Executive Officer of Asian Operations, Sophia, misunderstood him more deeply...

So be it!

For tomorrow, he would be directly confronting Shen Peishen in court!

If Sophia, tasked with reviewing tomorrow’s proceedings, leaned in his favor, it would significantly boost his chances!

Bai Xiaosheng was well aware that Shen Peishen had allies at the headquarters, putting Bai Xiaosheng at a disadvantage.

Thus, he needed every possible advantage.

And this beautiful misunderstanding arrived at the perfect moment.

It was at this instance that Bai Xiaosheng decided to reveal a part of his identity to Sophia.

”Mr. Bai is joking; you and I aren’t in the same company. How could there be any comparison in our positions?”

Sophia covered her mouth with a laugh, only to find Bai Xiaosheng watching her with a subtle smile.

As a woman of sharp intellect, she immediately sensed that something was amiss.

”Could it be...” Sophia’s eyes shifted, her expression thoughtful.

Bai Xiaosheng finally spoke, his voice soft, ”I currently work in the Greater China Region. Tomorrow’s quarterly review requires me to visit the headquarters.”
