Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2183: Chapter 1666: A “Jarring” Welcome

Bai Xiaosheng spoke, and in the end, Clan Leader Taylor took his advice. The group was waiting at the main entrance.

Bai Xiaosheng continued his pleasant conversation with Clan Leader Taylor.

In just three to five minutes, hurried footsteps echoed from the corridor behind them.

Others looked over to see a group of people striding towards them.

Leading the group was a man who looked about thirty-five or thirty-six years old. He had an average appearance but was quite tall and evenly built. His gaze seemed gentle, yet there was a hint of sharpness deep within.

As he approached, he immediately fixed his eyes on Bai Xiaosheng, who was chatting with Clan Leader Taylor. Instantly, he quickened his pace, almost as if speed-walking.

The people behind him had to jog to keep up.

”Is this the representative from the company that can bring huge funds to our family business and save us?”

”Although quite a few people have come, the way this person at the front is rushing in such an undignified manner...”

”Yes, in a high-end meeting setting like this, it shouldn’t be like that at all. It’s simply inappropriate...”

The people behind Taylor whispered among themselves.

Though the noise was faint, even Taylor and Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t hear it clearly, it was far from quiet.

Taylor glanced back and gave them a hard look, and the group fell silent, though it didn’t change what they thought.

That man at the front had already left his group behind and approached with a big smile. He first greeted Bai Xiaosheng politely, ”Mr. Bai, I didn’t know you’d arrive so early. My apologies for being late!”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at him in wonder and smiled, ”You know me, but I don’t think I’ve met you before?”

The man immediately beamed, ”I am Lu Qingfeng’s personal assistant, my name is Huang Haoyun. Currently, I’ve been reassigned here for training. Actually, I have seen you, but only from afar, and I never dared to forget. This time, I’ve been entrusted by Mr. Lu to assist you here, and I’m incredibly honored!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly realized.

”I see,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled and nodded.

Others naturally heard their conversation. The people behind Clan Leader Taylor couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.

”Who did he just mention? Lu Qingfeng?!”

”The genius of Huaxia’s business world?”

”I remember last year he went to Ganande’s Wall Street and defeated the legendary stockbroker Belter. Investors called Lu Qingfeng the ’Wolf of Asia’!”

”He’s the young director of Huaxia’s Tengyun Group, a company that has been continuously collaborating with super companies and families, making waves!”

”Is this person really Lu Qingfeng’s assistant?”

”Is it true they found such an investor?!”

Everyone was astonished. Even Clan Leader Taylor was surprised.

Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t told him who was coming. Taylor had some expectations, but he never anticipated the Lu Family from Huaxia’s Tengyun!

Xiya still didn’t quite understand who Lu Qingfeng was, her expression slightly puzzled.

Beside her, Moke’s eyes were wide with astonishment.

Lu Qingfeng has been all the rage on Wall Street in the past six months, and his reputation was quite significant. Even the family to which Caroline belonged was eager to cooperate with the Lu Family; who knew his assistant would actually come!

”Actually, Mr. Lu Qingfeng intended to come himself, but due to weather conditions in Asia, his flight was delayed, so he asked me to apologize to you.” Huang Haoyun’s words surprised Clan Leader Taylor and the others even more.

Clan Leader Taylor couldn’t help but take a deep look at Bai Xiaosheng.

Originally, Bai Xiaosheng’s position as Executive President of the Greater China Region in Zhenbei Group was quite impressive, and he had even orchestrated a series of commercial collaborations, but all of this was built on his official capacity, and what his collaborators valued was merely the Zhenbei Group.

In terms of personal connections for Bai Xiaosheng, relying on his position was superficial; business is business, and it might not be useful.

However, in this situation, Lu Qingfeng was clearly a close friend of Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng’s network was not simply reliant on his job position.

It seems my young future boss is truly extraordinary! Taylor observed how Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t overly formal and couldn’t help but be impressed.

Indeed, he is quite the character!

Even Moke next to him couldn’t help but cast a deep glance at Bai Xiaosheng, elevating his estimation of him by several notches!

”This is Mr. Taylor, and these are important members of their family.” Bai Xiaosheng casually introduced Huang Haoyun.

Huang Haoyun smiled and then turned his attention to Taylor and the others.

Unlike his humility and respect when facing Bai Xiaosheng, in that instant, Huang Haoyun’s entire aura changed.

Including his gaze and demeanor.

Though he still smiled and remained courteous, he exuded the oppressive presence of a major investor.

”Clan Leader Taylor, I’ve long admired you,” Huang Haoyun smiled as he greeted Clan Leader Taylor, his gaze sweeping over the people.

Anyone who met his eyes wouldn’t doubt his identity. The oppressive presence of his gaze evidenced the aura honed in the business world, surpassing everyone except Clan Leader Taylor!

Even the assistant to the ”Wolf of Asia” possessed such a demeanor, and immediately, everyone felt a sense of respect and awe.

”Welcome, Mr. Huang,” Clan Leader Taylor warmly and enthusiastically greeted Huang Haoyun, ”This time, it’s quite the fate that we’ve been brought together through Mr. Bai to discuss cooperation. Although our family is currently facing some crisis and a funding gap, we have the most prospective technology, and with Mr. Bai’s strong support, we look forward to mutually beneficial cooperation in the future.”

Taylor didn’t conceal the family’s situation.

In normal negotiations, that would be a fundamental mistake, potentially allowing the competition to bargain down the price.

But this time was different.

It was arranged through Bai Xiaosheng, with an implicit agreement that Clan Leader Taylor would step down to work for Bai Xiaosheng for ten years.

With this connection, Clan Leader Taylor wasn’t afraid of the other party taking advantage and lowering the price.

Moreover, even if he didn’t say it, Bai Xiaosheng might have already shared it with Lu Qingfeng.

Instead of hiding, it was better to be straightforward, which would seem more ”sincere.”

Huang Haoyun remained expressionless but smiled, ”I’ve heard your family possesses the latest technology in graphene batteries. On behalf of Mr. Lu, I must take a good look. Regarding our cooperation, rest assured, if this inspection goes well, we can commence our collaboration immediately!”

Taylor was beaming and nodded repeatedly.

”Mr. Huang won’t be disappointed. Please follow me to the production area,” Taylor said with enthusiasm and confidence, smiling, ”Although we’re experiencing minor issues, believe in our factory’s excellence in the North American industry. Trust our employees; they are highly skilled and responsible.”

As he spoke, he personally led Bai Xiaosheng and Huang Haoyun inside, praising the quality of his staff, stating they always worked together harmoniously with the company.

Bai Xiaosheng and Huang Haoyun followed behind, with the others trailing them.

The group entered the production area together.

Upon entering, they were immediately met with a loud and overwhelming commotion.

It wasn’t the pre-arranged welcome.

Instead, it was especially jarring shouting, rising wave after wave.

”We’re done, we’re striking!”

”We want raises, benefits! No overtime!”

”Trash equipment, trash factory, trash boss!”

”Damned, cruel factory, might as well shut down sooner!”
