Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1941: Chapter 1519: If You Don’t Cooperate, the One Who Suffers Is You

Bai Xiaosheng, in the name of cooperation, proposed to help Hong Wu facilitate her good relationship with Lin Chensheng. Hong Wu stared into Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, contemplating the credibility of his words. Bai Xiaosheng, with his keen perception, naturally knew what she was thinking, and his expression remained calm and composed, with a convincing gleam in his eyes.

Influencing someone’s decision with just an expression is not difficult for someone like Bai Xiaosheng, who has an advanced mastery of microexpressions.

”With a friend like you, Lin Chensheng is really fortunate!” Hong Wu sneered at Bai Xiaosheng, ”Trading a friend for a cooperation, with someone like you, can I believe your words?”

Hong Wu assumed a posture of not intending to adopt Bai Xiaosheng’s suggestion.

Girl, you’re pretending with me, but your eyes have already betrayed you. Bai Xiaosheng found it amusing internally but remained expressionless on the surface.

In truth, Hong Wu was not lacking in scheming, her attitude mixing truth and falsehood, making it difficult for ordinary people to understand her intentions.

But unfortunately, today she faced Bai Xiaosheng.

A young man who has honed his perceptiveness to an extraordinary degree, not falling short of the old foxes who have retreated behind the scenes of wealthy families.

The only one who could match Bai Xiaosheng in this regard might be her grandfather, and even her father might find it challenging.

”I’ve only met Lin Chensheng a few times, calling us ’friends’ is actually inaccurate.” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”I should say, I’m a friend of the Lin Family!”

The Lin Family invited him as a friend but did things behind his back that were not quite friendly.

Therefore, Bai Xiaosheng did not find it inappropriate to say one thing and do another.

Of course, in Hong Wu’s view, Bai Xiaosheng appeared to be bragging to the skies.

Friend of the Lin Family, who do you think you are...

Hong Wu was almost about to utter a sarcastic remark.

However, right after Bai Xiaosheng said these words, his entire demeanor changed.

From his eyes to his expression, and even his subtle gestures, Bai Xiaosheng resumed the demeanor of an executive president of the Greater China Region of Zhenbei Group.

Hong Wu, who usually encountered people from all walks of life, was no stranger to sharp insight and in that moment, she was surprised to find that the man in front of her had an aura that made her instinctively wary!

”Who on earth are you?!” Hong Wu couldn’t help but exclaim.

This man was extraordinary, not an ordinary person!

Hong Wu instantly realized this profoundly in her heart.

”Rest assured, I count as a friend of the Lin Family now, and I also wish to be friends with the Hong Family. I am simply a businessman who wants to prosper in harmony!” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

”You can trust me and accept cooperation with me. Once the matter is settled, I only need an additional partner in your hotels and shopping centers. Don’t worry, if there is anything beyond the normal scope in the cooperation I propose, you can refuse, and I won’t mind. Also, all of this can start after you and Lin Chensheng have made progress!”

Bai Xiaosheng offered a broad cooperation suggestion.

”Or, you can choose not to believe it, and I’ll turn around and leave without causing any more disturbance.” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, ”However, Lin Chensheng, in order to avoid you, probably has used every trick in the book. Today, he might look for a ’stand-in’ like me to cover his tracks, and tomorrow he could stir up some scandal, like promising lifelong commitment to another woman! These are things I think Lin Chensheng could quite possibly do, because afterwards he could say there was a lack of compatibility and then just part ways with someone, and he remains who he is!”

Bai Xiaosheng then presented a ”frightening” possibility.

After speaking, Bai Xiaosheng laughed softly, seemingly imagining that scene, and murmured to himself, ”By then, will your father and mother, your family elders still wish to see you succeed?”

”The Hong Family, could they not care about their reputation!”

”By not cooperating with me, it is you who are courting disaster!”

The last two sentences from Bai Xiaosheng were delivered in an exceptionally somber and sharp tone.

Those two sentences caused Hong Wu’s expression to change dramatically.

In reality, with the commotion between her and Lin Chensheng, there were already voices of disapproval within the family, only her grandfather’s affection for her managed to suppress the family’s dissatisfaction.

It was fortunate that no particularly bad rumors had been blown out of proportion.

However, her grandfather’s patience also had limits and couldn’t indulge her indefinitely.

If things were indeed as Bai Xiaosheng described, with Lin Chensheng taking that step, the gap between her and Lin Chensheng would turn into a chasm of mountains and rivers!

Even her grandfather might find it difficult to help silence the family members’ murmuring.

Not to mention explaining it externally!

Gossip is fearsome, as Bai Xiaosheng said, the Hong Family, being such a large family, cares about its image!

For the sake of family reputation, possibly her parents, even her grandfather, would command her not to be with Lin Chensheng, and that would truly be disastrous!

Hong Wu secretly clenched her fists, feeling extremely agitated and anxious internally.

But even so, this woman could still maintain a composed appearance, and in a very ”calm” voice, coldly said to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Are you threatening me?!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled slightly.

Even if she appeared calm on the outside, he could see she was panicking inside.

For Bai Xiaosheng, psychological warfare is a piece of cake; the opponent is completely led by the nose.

”If what I said earlier made Miss Hong unhappy, I apologize. I’m leaving now.”

Bai Xiaosheng said, placing his hand on the doorknob, posing as if he was about to leave.

”Wait a minute!”

Hong Wu finally couldn’t hold back, hurriedly speaking up to stop Bai Xiaosheng.

It’s often said that women in love have their IQs lowered below average. Hong Wu is an exception, but she still couldn’t escape this ironclad ”law.”

How could she possibly outlast Bai Xiaosheng in patience?

”I can listen to how you plan to help me. If I find it inappropriate, then there’s no deal!” Hong Wu said in a low voice.

These words seemed more like they were meant to convince herself.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and withdrew his hand from the doorknob.

”Shall we talk?”

Actually, the door was locked from the outside, so even if Bai Xiaosheng wanted to leave, it wouldn’t be easy.

Finally, in the brightly lit living room, Bai Xiaosheng and Hong Wu sat facing each other, each holding a glass of red wine.

”What should I call you?” Hong Wu examined Bai Xiaosheng.

This man gave her a hard-to-deal-with feeling; he must be extraordinary, and since he claimed to be a friend of the Lin Family, she naturally wanted to find out more.

”Sorry, I can’t tell you that right now, but rest assured, I’m not a bad guy. Even if I were, expending effort on you and Lin Chensheng just to seek some cooperation with your industry seems too petty, doesn’t it?” Bai Xiaosheng joked.

Hong Wu thought for a moment.

Indeed, that’s true.

”I just want to help a friend in the business world and achieve some cooperation with you,” Bai Xiaosheng said. ”Even if you find issues with the cooperation, you can refuse at any time. For someone as reasonable as I am, even if I had ulterior motives, how bad could they be?”

On this point, Hong Wu had nothing to say.

In fact, from the first moment Bai Xiaosheng met Hong Wu, he began analyzing her from all angles.

According to the internet, the old man from the Hong Family is straightforward, keeps his promises, and is decisive and resolute.

Hong Wu indeed matched these characteristics.

Bai Xiaosheng believed that what this woman promised, she would not go back on her word.

Moreover, that cooperation was beneficial and harmless to them.

As for the incredible effects those cooperations could generate behind the scenes, perhaps no one knew except Bai Xiaosheng!

Hong Wu frowned slightly and said, ”But I should at least have something to call you, right?”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”Miss Hong, I think the term ’Great Master’ used by your subordinate is quite good, I like it. You can call me that for now. Once I facilitate your good thing with Lin Chensheng and the cooperation between us, I promise you will know my identity!”

Hong Wu stared into Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, seeming to be lost in thought.

”Alright, I’ll call you Great Master for now.” After a full minute of silence, Hong Wu finally agreed, ”After all, that old rascal Wang doesn’t deserve such a grand title either.”

Hong Wu, despite her somewhat attractive appearance, had a style of speaking that was... quite gangster-like and direct.

Such a woman, Lin Chensheng once dated, that’s quite something...

”Also, my real name is Hong Wu, not the Wu you might think of as ’five’ or with the single-structure character. I’m the ’Wu’ of allure. I’m the fifth in my family, and because my actions resemble a man’s, I’m called Fifth Brother. As for how it became the single-structure ’Wu,’ that I don’t know.” Hong Wu voluntarily explained to Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and said, ”Before helping you, I want to hear about the matter between you and Lin Chensheng, as much as possible. Of course, if it’s inconvenient, you don’t have to say it. I respect your privacy.”

Because of Bai Xiaosheng’s last sentence, Hong Wu had a slightly better impression of him.

”There’s nothing I can’t say, just man and woman stuff, which hasn’t happened between us yet.” Hong Wu spoke directly enough, then seriously asked, ”Can you really help me achieve something with Lin Chensheng?”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

”I understand men better than you do. Sometimes, the more you chase after a man, the more you cling to him, the more he wants to escape. Once you stop caring, he instead feels lost.”

”Yeah, sometimes, men are pretty despicable!” Hong Wu said.

Bai Xiaosheng’s smile froze slightly.

That was such a broad jab, it seemed to scold even himself...

”You made such a valid point, I trust you. I’ll tell you about the matter between Lin Chensheng and me!”

Hong Wu earnestly looked at Bai Xiaosheng, ”Then, please, give me some advice!”
