Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2375: Chapter 1788: The Grand Collaboration

Deputy Mayor Tori returned as a different person, showing extreme enthusiasm toward the young businessman from Huaxia, a stark contrast to his previous indifference.

Filas, Laimu, Luka, and the newly returned Kars all looked on in disbelief, thinking Deputy Mayor Tori must have taken the wrong medicine.

”I did have an urgent matter to attend to, but as soon as it was finished, I rushed back,” Deputy Mayor Tori said with a laugh.

He began by apologetically addressing Bai Xiaosheng.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, next to Bai Xiaosheng, exchanged amused glances.

It was said that Nalinta City’s government was quite a distance from here; could he really have made it back in such a short time? Considering Mr. Tori’s dramatic change in attitude, they believed more that he had learned Bai Xiaosheng’s true identity and strength halfway through his journey and hurried back, fearing to miss the opportunity of a major businessman and a big business deal.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying could guess it, and naturally, so could Bai Xiaosheng.

However, Bai Xiaosheng maintained his composure and even thanked him with a smile, ”Thank you for your efforts, Mr. Tori.”

”No trouble at all!” Deputy Mayor Tori quickly waved his hand with a smile, his eyes eager as he spoke to Bai Xiaosheng, ”What do you think of our local enterprises, Mr. Bai? Is there anything you find noteworthy, or perhaps any critiques or suggestions you have? We would be immensely grateful!”

Filas and Laimu raised their eyebrows at this, wondering if it was a bit over the top.

If the visitor had been a famous Huaxia businessman like Lu Yun, Jia Chengshan, Dong Tianlu, or Lu Tiandao, they wouldn’t see it as excessive, as humble advisory might bring unexpected benefits. But speaking like this to such a young, inexperienced person felt a bit too much.

To Filas and Laimu, Deputy Mayor Tori’s treatment of this young man seemed more like a political maneuver.

Luka looked at Mr. Tori and Bai Xiaosheng curiously, not understanding why.

Beside them, Kars’s eyes flickered as he closely monitored the situation.

”Mr. Tori, you’re jesting. I’m in no position to offer critiques or suggestions,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, ”The enterprises of Mr. Filas and Mr. Laimu each have their strengths and commendable aspects. As for Mr. Luka’s business, I’m most impressed.”

This was Bai Xiaosheng’s polite bit of commentary.

Deputy Mayor Tori nodded at his words, giving Luka a smile before turning back to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Is that so? That’s wonderful!”

Seeing no further comments from Bai Xiaosheng, Deputy Mayor Tori curiously glanced at Kars, politely asking Bai Xiaosheng, ”We also have Mr. Kars here. Why not share your thoughts on his enterprise, Mr. Bai?”

Deputy Mayor Tori assumed that Kars had left earlier and hadn’t accompanied Bai Xiaosheng, not knowing that Kars had actually ”closed the door” on him.

Everyone instinctively looked at Kars.

Kars suddenly felt uneasy.

In Kars’s opinion, if Deputy Mayor Tori maintained his previous indifferent attitude, there would be nothing wrong with him refusing this Huaxia businessman. But with Tori’s 180-degree shift in attitude, the situation could become awkward. At the very least, it hinted at non-cooperation with Mr. Tori’s work, possibly jeopardizing their previously agreed municipal support...

”Oh, it’s like this: Mr. Kars had matters to attend to, so I couldn’t visit his site earlier, hence I only saw these three enterprises,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

His words were already quite polite.

According to Lin Weiwei’s way of thinking, they should have lodged a strong complaint against Deputy Mayor Tori, otherwise they wouldn’t let it go.

After all, they hadn’t come here to be humiliated. Kars’s arrogance had left them disgusted.

Hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s explanation, Kars awkwardly forced a smile, nodding repeatedly to Deputy Mayor Tori, ”Yes, yes, but now my matters are settled, and we can go for a tour.”

Sharp as ever, Deputy Mayor Tori immediately grasped the situation, giving Kars a cold glance but said nothing.

Yet that glance made Kars’s heart turn cold.

”Now, we can go for a tour, Mr. Bai. Let’s go,” Kars turned to Bai Xiaosheng.

If Bai Xiaosheng agreed, this matter could possibly be brushed off.

It seemed that this Huaxia person was reasonable and even covered for him earlier.

Kars naturally assumed Bai Xiaosheng would agree.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying regarded Kars coldly.

Who did he think they were, ignoring them when there was no benefit, but expecting them to come running when there was an advantage?

In this world, where would one find such easy gains!

Bai Xiaosheng indeed had a good temper and was willing to forgive, but he was not a pushover.

Sure enough, Bai Xiaosheng smiled gently and politely said to Kars, ”I think there’s no need.”

This Huaxia person actually declined him!

Kars felt a bit displeased immediately and was about to speak.

”Since Mr. Bai has decided, we must respect his decision!” Deputy Mayor Tori said to Kars with a soft yet firm tone, his eyes sharp.

Kars’s mind raced, and he immediately shut his mouth.

Deputy Mayor Tori turned his smile toward Bai Xiaosheng, ”Actually, Mr. Bai, we have many outstanding enterprises in this city beyond these four. However, due to your limited time, we’ve arranged them into smaller visiting groups for convenience, focusing on these relatively centralized four as one viewing point. If you’re interested, I can take you to visit other companies!”
