Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1640: Chapter 1361: How Could a Person’s Dreams Ever Grow Old! (Part 2)

Unexpectedly, Lei Ying became interested.

This big man, besides knitting sweaters and cooking, is also passionate about music, truly a waste of all those muscles, practically a literary young man.

Lin Weiwei widened her beautiful eyes, looking Lei Ying up and down, teasingly said, ”My goodness, your interests are really broad and cultured!”

Lei Ying put down the coffee cup, looked helplessly at the two, and said directly, ”It’s not that I particularly like it, but tonight’s symphony is organized by an old acquaintance of ours!”

Old acquaintance?

Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Weiwei were taken aback, exchanging surprised glances.

Lei Ying picked up the newspaper, flipped to that page, and showed it to Bai Xiaosheng and the others, ”It’s Mr. Yegor’s band!”

Yegor?

Bai Xiaosheng was naturally familiar. Lin Weiwei immediately remembered, tapping her fingers, ”Xiaosheng discussed their story with us in detail.”

Bai Xiaosheng took the newspaper, ”So, they’ve come here to perform, this is an advertisement.”

Lei Ying shook his head silently.

Bai Xiaosheng browsed through the article, his smile fading, eyes slightly narrowed,

Lin Weiwei, not understanding UE language, could tell Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying’s reactions were off.

She couldn’t help but ask Bai Xiaosheng, ”What does it say up there?”

Bai Xiaosheng looked up at her, pushed the newspaper away, ”It’s a review article; one of UE Country’s top ten bands, the Sharvey Band, their leader Viktor is fiercely criticizing Yegor’s band, saying they don’t deserve to stay in Ladoga.”

”Sharvey Band, isn’t that the band Yegor’s band once belonged to? You said that Viktor used despicable means against Mr. Yegor’s group, and Sharvey Band’s leader’s son, named Sedor, is a real scumbag!” Lin Weiwei exclaimed, ”But the conflict between the two sides should be about three years ago. Back then, you helped Yegor and his team escape from danger; how has it ignited again?”

Bai Xiaosheng sighed lightly, denying Lin Weiwei’s words, ”No, it hasn’t really flared up.”

”Really hasn’t flared up?!” Lin Weiwei said.

Both sides are already sparring in the media.

Lei Ying shrugged with a helpless smile at Lin Weiwei, ”Xiaosheng is right, the Sharvey Band is ’beating’ Yegor’s band unilaterally. What you’re talking about is a mutual brawl, but clearly, Yegor’s band is not capable of that! You see, even highly reputed newspapers, which should offer unbiased reviews, are obviously siding with Sharvey Band’s Viktor! That says a lot. The reason is clear from a single sentence inside — Viktor is a senior member of the UE Country Music Association! In other words, a prominent figure in the mainstream music scene here!”

Lin Weiwei was astonished, ”That influential!”

Her impression was that the Sharvey Band leaders were sly and petty men. Back then, the Sharvey Band was small, and Bai Xiaosheng was able to force Kelsonn Kevin’s hand to make them release Yegor and his band.

Unexpectedly, in these two or three years, their influence has grown immensely.

”Having wealth and power, and acting unscrupulously, is always faster and higher compared to those with mere talent. This is true globally!” Bai Xiaosheng murmured.

Lin Weiwei was speechless.

Listening to this, it does seem like a very realistic ’truth’.

”Tonight’s concert is a bet between Sharvey Band and Yegor’s band, a wager on the quality and number of attending guests!” Lei Ying said, ”The specifics of the wager are unclear, not revealed. However, if Yegor’s band loses, they must — leave Ladoga!”

”That serious!”

Lin Weiwei was startled, ”Would Mr. Yegor even accept this?”

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled softly, shaking his head slightly.

”If he doesn’t accept, do you think Yegor has a choice? The other side represents the ’orthodox’ ’mainstream’ voice of the UE Country Music Association!”

Lin Weiwei was speechless once again.

But soon after, she looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

Lei Ying did too.

Bai Xiaosheng raised his coffee, under their anticipation, taking a leisurely sip, calmly said, ”Since we’re encountering this, we obviously have to lend support!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged smiles instantly.

They knew Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t sit by and ignore his friends in distress.

Even if he isn’t in Ladoga, as long as he hears the news, he will certainly step in!

As the three of them spoke, a father and son at the adjacent table stood up to leave.

The eight-year-old child was still holding a strange handicraft, made from the newspaper on the table.

As this pair of father and son left, someone just happened to pass by.

The person approaching was dressed in a suit, carrying a briefcase, both suit and case were clean and tidy, free from any mess, but both had a slight old-fashioned feel.

This person was Caucasian, not very tall, looking quite old, his whole face covered with a frost-like pallor, hair all gray, beard clean and tidy, at first glance resembling an elderly person almost sixty, yet his eyes were exceptionally bright, declaring to everyone who looked into them that he was still middle-aged.

Upon seeing the father and son walking toward him, he smiled, stepping aside to let the child pass first, even giving a kind smile to the little guy during the process.

The little guy, however, was not appreciative, sticking out his tongue fiercely, making a face at the person.

The person wasn’t annoyed, just smiled.

This scene happened to be noticed by Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng also observed him.

The two exchanged polite smiles.

Afterward, the person went directly to the empty table that the father and son had occupied, sitting down.

He first placed his briefcase properly, then raised his hand to check the time on his wristwatch.

Soon after, he requested a coffee, reached out for the newspaper, and only then realized the newspaper was gone from the table.
