Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2115: Chapter 1613: The Trouble with a Glass of Wine

Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying, led by Cui Chen and his sister, exited Gaditya’s international airport.

According to Cui Chen, they’ve visited this city twice and are quite familiar with the area. There’s a bar nearby where they can sip a few drinks.

Cui Chen’s suggestion is to try the locally brewed beer, but avoid the hard liquor.

Naturally, Bai Xiaosheng agrees to this.

Just as they flag down a taxi to leave, Ma Weiqian and Xu chase after them.

Seeing Cui Chen and the others drive off, these two hurriedly flag down another car.

Once in the car, Ma Weiqian tells the driver to follow the car ahead.

At this moment, Ma Weiqian is practically burning with anxiety, fearing that Bai Xiaosheng, this mysterious figure who suddenly appeared, might mess up his big business deal.

When Bai Xiaosheng and Cui Chen find a bar and sit down, their beers have just been served when Ma Weiqian and Xu show up, casually sitting at the next table.

”Oh, Dr. Cui, we meet again,” Ma Weiqian says, with a smile, warmly greeting Cui Chen while casting a cautious glance at Bai Xiaosheng.

Cui Chen casually nods at Ma Weiqian, his face not too unpleasant either.

Bai Xiaosheng, facing Ma Weiqian’s hostility, also shows no reaction, as if completely unaware.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying just cast a light glance at Ma Weiqian.

Cui Xuexue, however, frowns and mutters, ”Annoying! This is endless!”

Ma Weiqian ignores this remark, continuing to smile.

”Dr. Cui, what would you like to drink? It’s on me!” Ma Weiqian says generously, patting his chest.

”Just a few beers, I can afford that,” Cui Chen says calmly.

”Of course, of course.” At the response, Ma Weiqian nods and laughs, ”If you collaborate with our company, even the world’s most expensive liquor would be like water to you, right Xu?”

Ma Weiqian’s assistant Xu nods enthusiastically and agrees.

”Xu, go to the bar and bring out the best and most expensive liquor in the house, only this would be fitting for Dr. Cui Chen,” Ma Weiqian says, ”no matter the cost!”

Xu hurriedly gets up to handle it.

Ma Weiqian considers this money spent under Cui Chen’s name, so even if Cui doesn’t drink, he would still owe him some favor.

Even someone as calm and composed as Cui Chen can’t help but frown at this kind of scheming and says to Ma Weiqian, ”Mr. Ma, why bother with this? I don’t like it!”

Ma Weiqian remains with a smiling face, ”Mr. Cui, Dr. Cui, I’m just trying to show as much goodwill from our company as possible. Think about it, there’s really no better company for collaboration than ours...”

Ma Weiqian continues with his eager persuasion.

Cui Chen, finding it tiresome, simply looks aside with a cold expression.

Ma Weiqian manages to keep his composure and continues to chat as if nothing happened, still smiling.

This person truly is quite a hand at doing business.

Bai Xiaosheng sees Ma Weiqian’s behavior, feeling compelled to reflect.

What’s the secret to success in business? Online advice says it’s simply three things: persistence, shamelessness, and persistent shamelessness.

Ma Weiqian thoroughly embodies this wisdom.

Bai Xiaosheng glances at Cui Chen and notices him watching the TV in the bar, so he follows his gaze and is surprised.

The TV airs a semi-philanthropic advertisement from Feisheng Biological Technology Pharmaceutical Company.

This ad calls on people to care for the environment, stay fit, as these are the secrets to longevity. Their produced longevity medicine is merely supplementary.

Bai Xiaosheng finds the ad quite novel.

Wonder which genius in the company came up with such an unconventional idea.

Next, a news interview airs, featuring a high-ranking executive from Feisheng, discussing their global investment in schools and promotion of philanthropy. This executive encourages everyone to care for the education of the next generation, without mentioning their drugs.

Bai Xiaosheng is aware of Feisheng’s philanthropic efforts and supports them.

Sometimes companies should think beyond making money and allocate part of their profits for social responsibility.

This practice actually also boosts company reputation and enhances its image.

Cui Chen watches with interest.

Noticing Cui Chen’s reaction, Ma Weiqian realizes something’s amiss and looks up, just in time to see Feisheng promoting philanthropy.

Seeing information from a competitor and Cui Chen’s interest, Ma Weiqian instantly responds with disdain, ”Such grandstanding, clearly just a show. Mr. Cui, don’t be misled by the flowery tactics of these business people!”

Coming from Ma Weiqian’s mouth, this actually sounds quite ”interesting”...

Already irritated by Ma Weiqian’s endless chatter, Cui Xuexue rolls her eyes and sarcastically says, ”Your company could also use philanthropy to grandstand. Why haven’t I heard any news about this from Ambray Company, instead it’s only sky-high drug scandals one after another.”

”Well... our company does donate to charities, we’re just low key, low key...” Ma Weiqian says with a chuckle.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying find it amusing, reluctant to poke holes in his words.

Cui Chen withdraws his gaze and looks at Bai Xiaosheng, ”I’m not one to watch much television, didn’t expect an ad from a pharmaceutical research company to contain such honesty, urging people to protect the environment and improve health through exercise, much less arrange global philanthropic activities.”

It’s apparent that Cui Chen finds Feisheng Biological Technology Pharmaceutical Company’s approach quite intriguing.
