Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2152: Chapter 1639: Another Banquet

Bai Xiaosheng once again triumphed over Cooper in this round of evaluating the Zisha teapots. Thus far, with three rounds and two victories, there’s no need for further competition. Cooper’s pursuit of Bai Yuefeng in this farce has come to a complete end.

Faced with Jack Han’s mention of compensation, Cooper had no intention of overthinking it and hastily agreed to the refund plan.

After expressing gratitude to Cooper, the host, Jack Han respectfully turned to Bai Xiaosheng to inquire where the newly arrived ”goods” should be sent.

Bai Xiaosheng told him to get in touch later, so naturally, Jack Han did not ask further, agreed respectfully, and left after bidding farewell to Cooper.

Cooper, though selected as the future head of a prominent family, showed no sign of disappointment or anger despite losing two rounds publicly. He quickly put everything behind him, called in the servants to tidy up the scene, and faced Bai Xiaosheng, Bai Yuefeng, and the crowd with a calm smile.

”I didn’t expect Mr. Bai to be so accomplished in music and appreciation. I must make friends with you; let’s exchange more in the future.”

Cooper smiled warmly at Bai Xiaosheng, his gaze sincere, displaying remarkable tolerance.

At least, that’s how it appeared to others.

Bai Xiaosheng could naturally perceive the true emotions hidden in Cooper’s heart but genuinely admired him.

Being able to endure is an essential trait for those who achieve great things.

From this aspect, Cooper is not to be underestimated in the future.

”Yuefeng, today it seems my confession has failed, but it’s okay, it’s not the first time,” Cooper joked with Bai Yuefeng.

His face showed no trace of awkwardness.

Cooper even warmly invited Bai Yuefeng, ”It’s my birthday today, and many friends are here. There will be many impromptu performances later, so don’t rush off, stick around for a few more drinks; it shouldn’t be a problem.”

”Okay.” Bai Yuefeng readily agreed.

Though normally carefree, Bai Yuefeng knows how to restrain and socialize, especially as a member of a prominent family.

Besides, since Cooper was so magnanimous, Bai Yuefeng wouldn’t risk being too petty.

After all, it is his birthday party.

Jessica, a good friend, approached with Bai Yuefeng’s arm, laughing, ”We haven’t seen each other for a while; we should catch up later.”

Bai Yuefeng discreetly withdrew her arm and smiled at Jessica, ”It has been a while; your change... is quite significant!”

Jessica, knowing she had gone a bit overboard this time, could only smile sheepishly and remain silent.

The atmosphere suddenly became ”harmonious.”

The guests also broke into smiles, tacitly ending the discussion about the competition.

After all, it was Cooper, the host, who lost two rounds earlier, and further discussion would be inappropriate.

Now, the party could continue.

Stars were gathering, and the excitement was inevitable.

The stars, who received substantial appearance fees, were invited to showcase their talents.

Performances were plentiful, with applause and cheers ongoing.

Compared to Cooper, Bai Xiaosheng was surrounded by just as many people. Many stars personally approached Bai Xiaosheng to chat warmly and exchange business cards.

Initially, Bai Xiaosheng displayed his expertise in vocal and instrumental skills with the intent to collaborate.

But later, when Bai Xiaosheng managed to acquire Li Ni Workshop’s limited edition treasures that even prominent families couldn’t buy, the perception of his value changed!

Mr. Cooper could only buy the ”Masterpiece” Zisha teapot set from Li Ni Workshop, worth millions of dollars.

Each of Bai Xiaosheng’s sets was even more valuable and not available in the market!

Could someone like this have a low net worth?

Even randomly selling a set of rare teapots could make him a millionaire!

Therefore, all those stars sought closeness, hoping to discern this person’s true background.

Actually, not only them, but all the guests present shared the same thought.

Gradually, more people surrounded Bai Xiaosheng than Cooper, the host.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were busy dealing with the crowd next to Bai Xiaosheng.

Cooper observed this, and despite maintaining a calm demeanor, felt increasing frustration.

However, Cooper didn’t believe Bai Xiaosheng’s status was truly profound. After all, his family was a prominent one, though weaker than the Bai Family and Wei Family, they were in the same league. Cooper was reluctant to believe Bai Xiaosheng’s background significantly outshone his.

If such a person existed, they wouldn’t have been unheard of or unseen before.

Cooper thought Bai Xiaosheng being friends with Li Ni was probably true, and perhaps their relationship was unique, which allowed him to acquire treasures that wealthy families could not.

It just so happened that this person was also skilled in music, and Cooper lost today due to luck.

But what Cooper constantly remembered and couldn’t let go of was finding an opportunity to overshadow Bai Xiaosheng in front of Bai Yuefeng and reclaim his pride...

However, such opportunities might not be easily found...

”Speaking of which, there’s still an important matter to attend to later.” As Cooper looked at the lively scene, he didn’t forget the crucial task and glanced secretly at the time.

It was about time.

Originally, Cooper planned an unconventional public proposal to win Bai Yuefeng’s heart but didn’t anticipate sudden changes, delaying this matter.

Having watched the performances for so long, much time had been consumed.

Now, it was time to proceed and handle the important task!

Cooper thought of this and first greeted the two elders from his family attending the banquet.

These two were firm supporters of Cooper, very courteous to the future family head, otherwise, they wouldn’t have condoned Cooper’s outrageous actions.

After greeting them, Cooper watched as a singer finished performing and smiled as he walked over, taking the microphone and signaling everyone to be quiet.

As the host, Cooper made his appearance again, and the guests stopped chatting, holding their glasses and looking over.

”Apologies, everyone! Today, I have another important matter to attend to,” Cooper said with a smile to the audience.

The guests looked curiously.

Cooper continued, ”Everyone knows I have just taken over an important family business in the pharmaceutical industry.”

The guests nodded.

”And today, at this moment, downstairs, there’s another banquet being held, organized by the North American Medical and Pharmaceutical Association.” Cooper smiled, ”I have to leave for a while to talk about an important collaboration with a key person!”

”If successful, it will be my best birthday present!”

As Cooper spoke, his eyes sparkled.

The guests realized that a lucrative opportunity awaited Cooper downstairs.

The guests promptly raised their glasses with smiles—

”Mr. Cooper, please go ahead and tend to the important matter!”

”If you secure a major collaboration today, it will truly be a double blessing!”

”Today is Mr. Cooper’s lucky day; all will go smoothly, and any partnership will surely succeed!”

”Wishing Mr. Cooper success!”

The guests offered their blessings one after another.

Cooper smiled, ”Thank you all for your kind words. I’ll be leaving for a while; you all enjoy yourself here, and if all goes well, I’ll be back soon!”

The crowd readily agreed with smiles.

On the other side.

Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but exchange glances with Lei Ying and whispered to Bai Xiaosheng, ”The North American Medical and Pharmaceutical Association, why does it sound so familiar to me...”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and replied, ”Of course it’s familiar; remember? Cui Chen and Cui Xuexue siblings came to attend their conference!”

Lin Weiwei realized and quickly asked, ”So they’re downstairs?”

Unexpectedly encountering acquaintances here?

It’s rare!

”Whether they are or not, who knows; maybe we’ll have to go downstairs to find out.” Lei Ying said with a smile.

”Then let’s go take a look!” Bai Xiaosheng decided with a smile.

Seeing the three of them whispering, Bai Yuefeng couldn’t resist moving closer and curiously asked, ”What are you guys talking about?”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at Cooper about to leave and smiled, ”We are also interested in the banquet downstairs, thinking of going down to have a look!”

”Ah?” Bai Yuefeng looked at him in surprise.

Bai Xiaosheng is interested too?

Are medical professionals’ banquets so attractive?
