Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1542: Chapter 1319: Wouldn’t It Be Such a Coincidence!_3

At one time, Zhongjing’s greatest business legend Mou Yutian was, in today’s Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, really not worth mentioning.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and, boosted by the slight influence of alcohol, did not feign modesty, ”I won’t hide from you; in the past two years, if you talk about achievements, there have been quite a few.”

On the surface, Bai Xiaosheng’s words seemed lacking modesty, yet Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying knew that this ”quite a few,” these three words, if heard by those at the Greater China Region Headquarters, would certainly cause them to faint.

In the past two years, Bai Xiaosheng had truly been a meteor streaking across the sky, every step to today’s status accompanied by countless gazes and shocks.

However, Bai Xiaosheng’s glorious achievements were overshadowed by major news in the media; outsiders were simply unaware.

”Tell me quickly, I’m listening!” Ji Mingyang said with keen interest.

Bai Xiaosheng opened his mouth to speak, but then a mobile phone ringtone rang out, causing everyone to look over involuntarily.

Zhang Meng took out her phone, glanced at it, and immediately apologized to everyone.

”I’ll take it outside; you all continue chatting.” Zhang Meng smiled at Ji Mingyang and Bai Xiaosheng as she stood up and walked out.

After Zhang Meng left, under Ji Mingyang’s urging, Bai Xiaosheng humbly recounted his promotion journey.

Just the title of ”New-type Affairs Officer” intrigued Ji Mingyang, prompting Bai Xiaosheng to explain a few words, not to mention the promotion to Senior Affairs Officer and Greater China Region President.

Bai Xiaosheng tried to downplay his brilliance, but just minutes into his explanation, the door swung open and Zhang Meng returned, interrupting before Bai Xiaosheng got to the real important part.

On her return, Zhang Meng’s face showed a touch of solemnity, indicating something had happened.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced over and was momentarily stunned, as he naturally noticed Zhang Meng’s undisguised mood.

What’s happened?

Bai Xiaosheng paused his narration.

Ji Mingyang also sensed something wrong and turned his head to look.

”Mr. Ji!” Zhang Meng seemed hesitant in the presence of Bai Xiaosheng.

”What’s the matter?” Ji Mingyang asked gravely.

After some consideration, perhaps feeling Bai Xiaosheng and the others were not outsiders and the matter wasn’t overly confidential, Zhang Meng continued, ”I just received news; circumstances have changed. Our originally planned investment promotion conference at the end of the month—the six key companies claim they cannot attend. We had only invited ten; suddenly, more than half can’t make it!”

As Zhang Meng spoke, her brow couldn’t help but furrow.

Earlier, when chatting with Mr. Ji and Bai Xiaosheng, this matter came up, and he furrowed his brow. Previously, several companies had indicated potential issues but had promised to attend as much as possible. They didn’t expect all not to come suddenly!

They even sent the message collectively!

This unexpected situation shocked him.

Upon hearing the news, Bai Xiaosheng also showed some surprise on his face.

Zhongjing’s development is so good, and the investment promotion conference was facilitated by the government. Those companies should be eager to attend!

With so many not coming, what’s the reason?

”Six major companies, all unable to attend?!” Even Ji Mingyang found it hard to believe, gasping, ”If it were one or two, it wouldn’t be an issue. Why so many? This time, we extended invitations widely; they agreed so well previously, why are they collectively reneging now!”

Zhang Meng’s face was slightly bitter, ”I’ve got people communicating with them, asking for the reason. This time, even the lower-ranked invited companies have three unable to attend, leaving us short of ten major companies!”

With the conference about to happen, this is overwhelmingly troublesome.

Ji Mingyang pondered silently, his gaze heavy.

Bai Xiaosheng and the two others couldn’t help but tense up.

”Please don’t worry, I’ll have external staff inquire promptly and will soon know the reason!” Zhang Meng paused, then continued, ”Actually, there’s another matter.”

What else?

Bai Xiaosheng, Ji Mingyang, and the others looked at Zhang Meng.

There was no happiness on Zhang Meng’s face, meaning whatever it was, it couldn’t be good news.

As the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Could all these troubles be piling up and just on the day Bai Xiaosheng and the others paid a visit?

Zhang Meng had already started speaking, continuing, ”Regarding the relocation of key companies, we initially considered negotiating for a suitable unfinished building site with the developers. But just now, news came saying that unfinished building project had been bought by someone else. The city government had originally planned to cooperate with the other party, but now it seems there might be further obstacles. The new buyer seems to value that piece of land highly, reportedly closing the deal within three days for full cash payment!”

Ji Mingyang listened in amazement.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying couldn’t help but exchange glances at this point, their eyes full of incredulity.

No way, such coincidence...

After Zhang Meng finished speaking, her phone vibrated repeatedly with incoming messages, not merely one.

Zhang Meng hastily checked the messages; after reading, she looked up at Ji Mingyang shocked, ”Previously unnoticed, but many of the companies we invited are either subsidiaries or investors from Zhenbei Group. Just now, responses came saying those companies are currently undergoing mergers and restructuring, so none can attend.”

As soon as Zhang Meng finished speaking, Ji Mingyang was quite stunned as well.

Those companies aren’t just from one province, spanning across Tiannan to sea and north, all undergoing reforms?

Ji Mingyang was shocked, as was Bai Xiaosheng beside him.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were even more astonished, once again exchanging glances.

No way such a coincidence!
