Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2165: Chapter 1650: Bai Xiaosheng’s Busy Days

Bai Xiaosheng returned to the hotel with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying. Just after he got back to his room, he received a phone call from Bai Yuefeng. She had just finished her social engagements and was on her way home.

In her family’s car, with a heap of bodyguards, there was naturally no need to worry about safety issues. Bai Xiaosheng simply advised her to go home and rest early.

Bai Yuefeng was quite grateful to Bai Xiaosheng for helping her out tonight.

Although Cooper, like Robert, frequently pursued her, he wasn’t always persistent and pestering. After today’s incident, he should quiet down for a while. Besides, since he recently took over the family’s important business, he would be getting busy.

Speaking of Robert, Bai Yuefeng had news. It was said that Robert suffered severe bone fractures in his foot and might not be able to go out for two to three months.

From Bai Yuefeng’s tone, she seemed quite pleased, as if she would finally get some peace and quiet.

Bai Yuefeng further expressed gratitude to Bai Xiaosheng for giving her father the purple clay teapot, adding that her father now knew Bai Xiaosheng’s identity and said he would invite him over when he had the time.

Bai Xiaosheng gladly accepted.

The Bai Family, not only a prominent family in Ganande’s Chinatown but also a senior member of the North American Chinese Alliance, building cooperation with them was as significant as collaborating with Caroline in the North American region along with her family.

After thanking Bai Xiaosheng and inviting him, Bai Yuefeng finally hung up the phone.

Bai Xiaosheng also went to freshen up and prepare for rest.

Today was indeed busy enough.

Before bedtime, Bai Xiaosheng contacted Wei Xuelian, and the two had a sweet exchange over the phone.

Bai Xiaosheng mentioned he would visit the Wei Family tomorrow. On the phone, Wei Xuelian sounded like a little woman in distress, saying she was still in Europe and couldn’t return anytime soon.

Bai Xiaosheng naturally comforted her, saying that during this period, he had greatly improved the Wei Family’s business. His visit this time was partly to meet the elders and partly to ”settle accounts.” Extending the redemption period as family head for Wei Xuelian would bring their carefree days together one step closer.

After finishing their phone conversation, Bai Xiaosheng was exceedingly exhausted and fell asleep immediately.

The night passed without a word, and he slept very soundly.

The next day, Bai Xiaosheng handled some procedures at the Group in the morning and then hurriedly carried the purple clay teapot to the Wei Family.

Though it was only his second visit to the Wei Family, the servants there were surprisingly familiar with this future son-in-law, likely having been informed and ”trained” in advance.

Wei Xuelian’s father, Wei Changzun, her mother, Yue Yingran, and that spectacular brother-in-law, Wei Xueqi, were all not at home.

However, upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng was visiting, they left word to treat him well and suggested that Bai Xiaosheng stay for two days without constraint.

Bai Xiaosheng naturally appreciated these words.

After all, they were to become family; familial warmth is always comforting.

Before Bai Xiaosheng reached the Wei family’s villa area, Wei Xuelian’s grandfather, Wei Tianhe, sent someone to escort him over.

Being personally sent for by the old gentleman was an honor not easily attained by ordinary people.

Thus, under the respectful gaze of the Wei family’s servants, Bai Xiaosheng proceeded directly to the sacred ancestral residence of the Wei Family.

Upon meeting Wei Tianhe, despite the old age, he was still very spirited, wearing a snow-white exercise suit, resembling an immortal figure.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng, the old man was particularly pleased, inviting Bai Xiaosheng for tea and catching up, asking detailed questions about his recent experiences.

Bai Xiaosheng, who lost his grandfather early, felt a grandfatherly affection from Wei Tianhe, which he genuinely enjoyed.

Bai Xiaosheng presented the three sets of purple clay teapots to the old gentleman for appreciation. These three sets were superior works by Li Ni, a notch above the one given to Bai Yuefeng’s father.

Only now did Bai Xiaosheng have the time to savor them carefully.

Grandfather and grandson praised the craftsmanship of Li Ni, chatting animatedly.

At lunchtime, while eating at Wei Tianhe’s place, Bai Xiaosheng specifically mentioned the redemption period concerning Wei Xuelian.

Wei Tianhe responded humorously and with a hint of exasperation, pointing at Bai Xiaosheng, saying, ”You little rascal, it’s been such a short time, and you’re here to settle accounts again. Didn’t we initially agree on a redemption period of seven years? Isn’t that enough for you? You want my granddaughter to abandon the family soon to be with you? Impossible, there’s no such good fortune!”

Bai Xiaosheng persisted with charming flattery and ingratiation, ”Sir Wei, I’ve drawn many collaborations for the Wei Family; you can’t disown them. I’m even planning to establish a Global Business Alliance in the coming years, ensuring our Wei Family enjoys business resources worldwide...”

”Oh, tell me about it,” Wei Tianhe’s eyebrows arching in interest, replied with a smile.

Bai Xiaosheng immediately shared his plans for the Global Business Alliance, detailing current collaborations in Europe, Asia, and South America.

Wei Tianhe listened attentively, occasionally offering some suggestions.

Intrigued by Bai Xiaosheng’s grand plans, the old gentleman fully acknowledged them.

Bai Xiaosheng took the opportunity to persistently plead, ”Sir Wei, Xuelian is your granddaughter too; seeing her happily married is your wish. Also, I’ve brought the highest quality purple clay teapot for you; surely, you must give me, this junior, a little token in return?”

Bai Xiaosheng, discussing his ambitious business vision, exuded vibrancy, more luminous than any young talent Wei Tianhe had ever seen, and when he switched to sly tactics, none could match him.

Wei Tianhe chuckled, ”Boy, having your mouth on you doesn’t go to waste; you talk quite beautifully.”

Bai Xiaosheng grinned, taking it as a compliment.

”However, you must understand that our Wei Family stands on par with your Zhenbei Group, the benefits you bring are not so easily garnered. I previously cut you a lot of slack. Any more, and it’d be hard to justify within the family,” Wei Tianhe remarked, though he paused in thought, adding, ”Given your dedication, filial piety, and foresight, I’ll reduce one more year. That should be quite fair, right?”

Bai Xiaosheng beamed, expressing his gratitude repeatedly.

He was already very satisfied to gain an additional year for the Red Lotus deduction.

Counting, Wei Xuelian has had an eight-year reduction in her tenure as family head, their days of living freely together are within reach.

Both grandfather and grandson were delighted, continuing their tea drinking and calligraphy studies into the afternoon.

Noticing the old gentleman was getting tired, Bai Xiaosheng finally took his leave.

The ”results” from this visit to the Wei Family were immediately shared with Wei Xuelian, who was equally pleased.

After the visit to the Wei Family, Bai Xiaosheng spent two days tirelessly commuting to the Group headquarters.

During these two days, Bai Xiaosheng busied himself with handling various procedures, learning different protocols, meeting numerous people, bustling about, feeling incredibly fulfilled.

However, in recent days, Caroline hadn’t contacted him again. When they met once at the Group, they exchanged courteous greetings, but Caroline didn’t mention anything about the cooperation between the two areas.

Bai Xiaosheng heard that Caroline’s election wasn’t going smoothly, with a significant possibility of defeat.

Reflecting on their last meeting at the Group, where Caroline’s demeanor bore a trace of irritability, Bai Xiaosheng believed the rumors were very likely true.

Bai Xiaosheng also met Soruns, who secretly informed him about Caroline’s keen calculative nature upon learning of Bai Xiaosheng’s intention to discuss cooperation.

Soruns feared Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t stand to gain anything.

Bai Xiaosheng naturally didn’t disclose to Soruns that he felt indebted to Caroline by several counts, not only failing to gain an advantage but likely having to bleed profusely...

Bai Xiaosheng increasingly sensed a foreboding feeling.

If Caroline didn’t broach cooperation terms, it was fine; otherwise, it might be difficult to fully accept...

Bai Xiaosheng consoled himself, saying, ”Let’s hope it won’t be as bad as my worst assumptions!”
