Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1960: Chapter 1528: ”Candid” Exchange of Opinions (Part 2)

Bai Xiaosheng’s principle is, if you flatter me, I’ll return the favor.

After all, such things don’t cost a dime...

Lin Tianyi, upon hearing this, was quite pleased, and laughed heartily while making a ”please” gesture to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Mr. Bai, please come in, let’s have a chat in my study.”

Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile.

However, before inviting Bai Xiaosheng into the hall, Lin Tianyi did not forget to point out the Lin Family’s outstanding members, casually introducing them to Bai Xiaosheng.

”Mr. Bai, this is Lin Chencheng, he is currently helping me manage business affairs.”

”And this is Lin Chenyu, she is quite famous in the fashion industry and has won many international awards, filling the Lin Family’s market gap in that area.”

Lin Tianyi introduced them with a smile.

But then, Lin Tianyi noticed that Lin Chencheng and Lin Chenyu’s expressions were not quite right.

In the past, they would enthusiastically step forward and greet guests politely, but today the two of them seemed awkward and somewhat timid.

Lin Tianyi immediately found this strange.

Lin Chencheng and Lin Chenyu braced themselves and stepped forward to greet Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression remained unchanged, and he nodded with a smile to both of them, which constituted a greeting.

But to the onlookers, this seemed rather indifferent.

”I met them at yesterday’s banquet,” Bai Xiaosheng mentioned lightly.

He did not praise the pair, which implied that the encounter might not have been pleasant.

Lin Tianyi was slightly taken aback, but laughed it off, ”Is that so? If I had known Mr. Bai was at the banquet, I would have attended too, to fulfill my duty as a host.”

Hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and pointed, ”Though the family head didn’t attend, I had an enjoyable conversation with this Mr. Lin Chensheng.”

Bai Xiaosheng took the opportunity to give some ”support” to Lin Chensheng in front of everyone.

Lin Tianyi followed Bai Xiaosheng’s gesture and looked over, seeing Lin Chensheng was quite surprised.

How did Bai Xiaosheng have such an enjoyable conversation with Lin Chensheng—his family’s so-called wastrel...

”As long as Chensheng didn’t upset Bai Xiaosheng, that’s good.” Lin Tianyi said with a smile, nodding with approval toward Lin Chensheng in front of everyone.

This gesture was made to save face for Bai Xiaosheng, but it also instantly drew the attention of all the Lin family members of the ”Cheng” generation to Lin Chensheng.

Suddenly, this so-called ”wastrel of the Lin family” was met with surprise and admiration by everyone.

For perhaps the first time, Lin Chensheng received such attention and knew Bai Xiaosheng’s open remarks were meant to bring him honor.

Feeling grateful, Lin Chensheng puffed out his chest, proudly facing the attention.

Lin Chencheng and Lin Chenyu watched with envy, jealousy, and filled with mixed emotions.

Lin Tianyi smiled and again made a ”please” gesture to Bai Xiaosheng, who also smiled and nodded, and the two prominent figures finally moved into the hall.

The ”Cheng” generation youths of the Lin family saw Lin Chensheng follow in and quickly tagged along, while the usual leaders, Lin Chencheng and Lin Chenyu, were left sidelined.

”What’s so great about that!” Lin Chenyu said bitterly in a low voice, her eyes filled with resentment, ”What’s so impressive about Bai Xiaosheng, being so indifferent to us, wasn’t he the one who once used our Lin family name to pose as someone important...?”

Lin Chenyu said this, looking at Lin Chencheng, hoping for his agreement.

After all, the two had just been through the same ”injustice” from Bai Xiaosheng.

”Huh? Chenyu, what did you say? I spaced out, didn’t hear.” Lin Chencheng faced her with a ”puzzled” expression.

To avoid Lin Chenyu repeating her words and forcing him to take a stance, Lin Chencheng motioned that now was not the time to talk, then hurriedly followed along.

Lin Chenyu was angry at this, but her expression soon changed slightly, muttering, ”What if Lin Chencheng tells the family head what I just said!”

Having one person to bear the brunt is better than both suffering. Such a thing, Lin Chencheng would do.

Lin Chenyu quickly followed in high heels.

Lin Tianyi and Bai Xiaosheng walked and talked with smiles, and the younger generation of the Lin family followed behind, but eventually all stopped at the elevator lobby on the first floor, as the two elder statesmen were going to discuss matters, which naturally did not involve them.

Lin Tianyi brought his two stewards, Bai Xiaosheng brought Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, and the six of them took the elevator up.

”This main building has a total of six floors, the architect originally suggested that it didn’t need to be so tall, but I like the number six, which symbolizes smooth success, so I prefer having my study on the sixth floor...” Lin Tianyi chatted with a smile in the elevator with Bai Xiaosheng.

This kind of talk, seemingly trivial and insignificant, but it helps to naturally, subtly draw people closer.

Bai Xiaosheng had learned about such conversational techniques from Red Lotus.

He also smiled and engaged in small talk with Lin Tianyi.

Once they reached the sixth floor, everyone headed straight for Lin Tianyi’s study.

At the study’s entrance, Lin Tianyi instructed one steward to take Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to a nearby guest room to rest, asked another steward to prepare some refreshments, while he personally opened the door for Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng courteously obliged and followed Lin Tianyi into the study.

This study was quite spacious, with a glass curtain wall on one side. Standing by the floor-to-ceiling window, one could overlook the lush greenery at the foot of the mountain and gaze out at the endless sea, offering a broad, refreshing view.

The decor in the study was also of tasteful elegance, each piece of furniture, pottery, and hanging art was a rare treasure.

The style leaned more towards a ”pastoral” theme.

”Actually, I have three studies. One is specifically for business discussions, another for solitary contemplation, and this is my favorite, where I entertain friends,” Lin Tianyi spoke eloquently with a smile, ”I am very fond of the pastoral poet Tao Yuanming, and that line of poetry especially captivates me—”
