Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2248: Chapter 1706: Everyone Goes Mad

Jack thought that once Xiya and the others learned about this matter, they would inevitably pull him aside to question him. At that time, he could explain the ”misunderstanding” from his perspective, make some sophistries, complain a bit, and express his willingness to apologize to that person. He believed Xiya and the others would have nothing to say and would mediate the situation.

After all, that person would have to give some face to the host who invited them.

And thus, this matter would be bygone.

Jack was thinking optimistically, but he then saw those self-assumed acquaintances and friends led by Xiya, their smiles stiffened and faded away.

Xiya glanced at Bai Xiaosheng’s back, said nothing, and directly stepped aside a step.

The people behind her did the same, instantly making way for a passage.

”In that case, Jack, you may leave!” Xiya said decisively and straightforwardly.

Monica, Zack, and the others behind Xiya also looked at Jack, their gaze even carried a hint of indifference.

What’s going on?!

Jack was dumbfounded, incredulously looking at them.

We’ve known each other for quite some time, haven’t our families also had many business dealings? How could they be so ungrateful!

As soon as that person spoke, they acted as if carrying out an order, asking him to leave?

Jack widened his eyes, looking at Xiya and the others in shock.

”Why aren’t you leaving!” Xiya frowned coldly and said, ”Jack, do you want me to call someone to escort you out? Don’t embarrass yourself!”

What Xiya said was indeed not polite.

The expressions of the people behind Xiya also conveyed the same meaning.

Jack finally realized the seriousness of this matter.

Moreover, he ultimately underestimated the importance of that Huaxia person in the hearts of Xiya and the others.

”I... Actually, I’m somewhat at fault in this matter.” Jack lowered his voice and urgently said to Xiya.

This statement indicated his willingness to concede.

”Just leave first, don’t waste our time, we still need to connect with our instructor!” Xiya sternly said this as she approached Bai Xiaosheng without even glancing at Jack.

The others also passed by Jack silently, each giving him a cold look.

Jack then realized that the situation was much more severe than he had thought!

This time coming here, let alone discussing business with the Huaxia people, even the partnerships with these former collaborators might encounter problems!

How would he explain this when he returned home!

Sweat beaded on Jack’s forehead instantly.

The last person walking out rudely pushed Jack, forcibly shoving him outside.

Immediately, the door slammed shut with a ”bang,” startling Jack significantly.

Jack’s face turned pale as paper.

Whom did he offend today?!

What is that Huaxia guy’s background, after all?!

Furthermore, what did Xiya mean by ”our instructor” in her statement?

Jack’s questions were also on the minds of the remaining eight people around the round table in the hall.

Seeing how Xiya and the others dealt with Jack, everyone felt alarmed.

Usually, they had good relationships and business interactions. Even if someone made a mistake, why didn’t anyone speak up for Jack or attempt mediation?!

They just drove him out?

It seemed unnecessary!

The eight people, including Hannah, were also confused by Xiya’s mention of ”instructor.”

However, seeing Xiya and the others approaching, Hannah and the others quickly forced smiles and stood up.

Although they were guests, they didn’t have such airs to remain seated.

But there were people who remained seated—Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions.

Bai Xiaosheng had to consider his status since he would soon engage in business talks with these family prodigies, so he couldn’t lose face.

Lei Ying was Xiya and her group’s instructor, so he naturally didn’t need to get up.

The remaining Lin Weiwei also couldn’t ”break formation”...

Bai Xiaosheng turned around with a smile, and Xiya and the others eagerly approached, disregarding others, and greeted them with a smile first.

”Instructor Bai!”

”Instructor Lei!”

Xiya’s group called out warmly.

Altogether, they hadn’t been apart for long. Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying had trained them harshly in the academy, and the ”residual prestige” still lingered. Monica, Zack, and the others dared not be disrespectful.

Besides, Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying had actually saved their lives, a genuine favor incomparable to any amount of money.

Therefore, that group of people had a particular respect for the two.

Hannah and the others were simply stunned.

Even Xiya and the others were like that, but it was laughable that they, just moments ago, were acting all high and mighty and were somewhat disrespectful to Bai Xiaosheng and the other two.

These people also quickly showed ”sincere” smiles to Bai Xiaosheng and the others.

”Everyone, don’t be so formal, come and sit, I’m already hungry, let’s eat and chat,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile to Xiya and the others.

Immediately, everyone took their seats, and Xiya ordered the dishes.

Raising her wine glass, Xiya introduced Bai Xiaosheng to Hannah and the others, ”This is Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, the Executive President of the Greater China Region of the Zhenbei Group!”

Although Bai Xiaosheng was now a Senior President level, his position was still the Executive President and simultaneously the second-in-command of the headquarters’ Audit Department, and there was no need to explain it so thoroughly externally.

This was something Bai Xiaosheng had also mentioned to Xiya.

Of course, the identity of the Executive President of the Greater China Region of the Zhenbei Group was already enough to make Hannah and the others gasp.

They were well aware of what kind of existence the Zhenbei Group was, and thinking of Miss Caroline here, slightly lowering her status, equates to the value of Mr. Bai Xiaosheng!

This person is so young and already sits in this position, so his background and personal capability can be described as terrifying!

Moreover, Hannah and the others had also heard of Bai Xiaosheng’s name!

After all, the commercial reform initiated by Bai Xiaosheng across the ocean and the subsequent cross-continental commercial cooperation were extensively reported here!

Upon knowing it was him, the fire within everyone was ignited.

They understood why Bai Xiaosheng had such a significant presence at the opening and could help each family secure a large business deal!

Working with him would undoubtedly be the greatest opportunity ever, bringing an entirely new future development to the family!

Everyone was ecstatic yet excited, and also relieved, for not making the same mistake as Jack.

”My family recently encountered a business crisis, as many of you have heard, and many present offered timely help, for which I thank you all. Yet, no amount of aid could extricate my family from the mire. This Mr. Bai, who was also the instructor for the six of us at the South American Academy, upon knowing, graciously lent a helping hand, completely reversing the situation in just two days and providing new developments!”

Xiya gratefully raised her wine glass and said to Bai Xiaosheng, ”For this cup of wine, I thank you!”

Bai Xiaosheng’s loyalty and righteousness made Monica, Zack, and the others look on with respect.

His influence gave Hannah and the others a more profound understanding.

Bai Xiaosheng cheerfully stood up and clinked glasses with Xiya, smiling, ”We’re like family; there’s no need for formalities.”

Bai Xiaosheng then scanned the crowd, smiling, ”Actually, this time, my original intention was to conduct a business cooperation with these familiar people with whom I have ties, as an extension of our camaraderie from South America.”

”Your participation here was unexpected for me, but I appreciate everyone for giving me face. Just now, securing a business deal for each of your families was intended as a token of our first meeting.”

”As for whether to cooperate with me or not, it’s entirely up to you. I just mentioned I hope for significant cooperation, without imposing.”

Bai Xiaosheng then half-jokingly, half-seriously said, ”Of course, we also genuinely don’t accept additional investments because in a few days, I might leave North America. After all, there are many business matters to attend to.”

Upon hearing this, Hannah and the others felt a heat within their hearts.

Hannah was the first to stand up earnestly, saying to Bai Xiaosheng, ”I sincerely want to seize this opportunity given by Mr. Sheng, but there aren’t many decisions I can make personally. How about this? If I may, I’d like to make a quick phone call to consult. It will just take five minutes, please!”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and nodded, ”Of course, Miss Hannah, go ahead!”

Upon seeing his response, Hannah beamed a warm smile and didn’t delay any further, swiftly heading out the door.

Opportunities only come once; they must be seized. Hannah decided she absolutely needed to obtain significant authorization directly from the family’s patriarch!

Following her lead, the remaining seven could no longer sit still and voiced their intentions one after the other.

”Mr. Bai, I would also like to make a call and consult!”

”Me too, I didn’t expect it to be you, so I don’t want to mess around with small business dealings!”

”I’m the same, I want to step out for a moment!”

The crowd voiced excitedly.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at them, ”Please go ahead, everyone.”

With these words, those individuals left their seats, eager to run out to make calls.

In an instant, half the table was empty!

Several waitstaff carrying dishes entered, witnessing so many people leaving their seats with a menacing presence and were momentarily startled.

Just as they began serving, why were so many leaving? Could it be the food was too salty or the wine too bland today? Were these distinguished guests looking to cause a scene?
