Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2651: Chapter 1910: The First Strike Wins

On the Huaxia internet, when it’s not convenient to let yourself appear as the ”main character” in a story, people usually swap in a classic persona instead—that is, ”my friend.” The whole ”my friend” series of stories has always been wildly popular, a classic that keeps getting passed around and never goes out of style.

Right in front of Brady, Bai Xiaosheng pulled this little gag. He described the business he was in charge of as if it belonged to ”his friend.”

Unfortunately, Brady clearly didn’t know this meme. He even frowned and fell into thought, his suspicious gaze fixed on Bai Xiaosheng.

What Brady was thinking was: just who on earth is that friend of Bai Xiaosheng’s, to actually have that kind of clout, enough to be mentioned in the same breath as Hogson, Anlos, and himself? If Oshan also acknowledges that person’s weight, then he’s definitely no ordinary character!

The fact that Brady was seriously pondering all this was, in itself, hilarious.

As someone well-versed in Huaxia ways, Chen Feiqiu of course understood what Bai Xiaosheng meant. Seeing Brady instead putting on a straight face and thinking it over, he could barely hold back his laughter.

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression was half smile, half not, and beside him Chen Feiqiu was also suppressing a laugh. Even though Brady didn’t know what was going on, he still felt as if he’d been ”played.”

His brows knit slightly as he stared coldly at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t meant to keep teasing Brady over this kind of casual little thing. He immediately straightened his posture and said seriously, ”Mr. Brady, what we just discussed can be compiled into a document right here on the spot. As a preliminary cooperation, the terms on all fronts are already very good. I can even responsibly tell you that the deals Hogson and Anlos signed aren’t even as favorable as what you’ve got here.”

”Then I should be thanking you!” Brady said in a deep voice, an indescribable chill in his tone.

If looks could kill, Brady would’ve turned Bai Xiaosheng into a sieve by now.

Bai Xiaosheng acted as if he didn’t notice and said, ”If you agree, then everything goes smoothly. If you don’t want to sign... then I’m afraid you won’t be able to enter the Oshan business world for a short time. The loss will be even greater. I don’t think Chief Ogade is going to waste too much energy on something like this. Without Keruoge, in order to ensure the stability of the Oshan business scene, Oshan will have no choice but to bring in other partners from outside. You’d better think it through.”

This was, without question, Bai Xiaosheng speaking out of goodwill.

Even if he couldn’t stand Bai Xuanyu and didn’t get along with Brady, at the end of the day this was Zhenbei Group’s business.

As the group’s heir, this also counted as his own wealth. There was no way he’d slam the door on it.

Unfortunately, Brady didn’t understand any of that.

Brady took what Bai Xiaosheng had just said as a threat!

If he agreed to what they’d just discussed, his original plan would be severely discounted, down to less than sixty percent.

If he refused, he’d be completely kicked out.

Brady felt a bit powerless, as if he were being forced into a choice rather than making a decision of his own.

He even felt a certain sense of humiliation.

”I...” Brady weighed it for a full minute before finally forcing out a word through clenched teeth: ”Sign!”

That one word ”sign” practically drained half his energy.

As the helm of Keruoge, a company so rich it could rival a nation, Brady had never felt such frustration and humiliation.

This was a feeling he hadn’t experienced in nearly ten years!

But he really couldn’t not sign. His plans for the past three years had all revolved around using Oshan as the core to expand Keruoge’s business. He’d been laying groundwork in secret for too long, and this was the key final link. If he gave up now, the losses would be staggering.

That was something he simply couldn’t afford!

Brady felt that he hadn’t been forced to bow his head by Bai Xiaosheng, nor even by Oshan itself, but by his own actions.

Brady’s final calculation was: sign first, then later find an opportunity to talk face-to-face with Oshan and Chief Ogade, to fill in the rest of his plans!

That was Brady’s plan at this moment.

Hearing Brady agree, Chen Feiqiu stood up, nodded to him, and said, ”Then please wait here for a moment, Mr. Brady. I’ll arrange for someone to prepare the new documents right away, then we’ll submit them for Chief Ogade to review. Once the Supreme Chieftain has confirmed them, this matter will be settled, and I’ll be able to inform you of the result today.”

Brady gave Chen Feiqiu a slight nod, and the latter walked straight out.

Once Chen Feiqiu left, only Bai Xiaosheng and Brady were left in the room.

When the door clicked shut and he glanced around to confirm they were alone, Brady could no longer hold himself back. He leaned forward, both fists braced on the coffee table, glared furiously at Bai Xiaosheng, and snarled with a twisted expression, ”What exactly are you trying to do?!”

”What am I trying to do?” Bai Xiaosheng looked at him quite calmly and shot back.

”Do you have any idea you’re helping outsiders tear down your own house?! Like this, you still count as the old chairman’s blood relative?!” Brady hissed in fury. ”You’re biting the hand that feeds you!”

Brady had been holding in his resentment toward Bai Xiaosheng for a long time. Now that there were finally no outsiders present, he exploded.

Letting all that emotion out was really no easy thing!

You have to understand, Brady was the man running a company as rich as a country, stronger than some chaebol families. If not for the pressure of the situation, he wouldn’t even easily bow to a country like Oshan.

Someone like that can bury his anger and hostility very deep; he might not show a crack until he’s already taken his enemy down, and can keep up a friendly smile the whole time he faces them.

It was only because Bai Xiaosheng had provoked him again and again that Brady couldn’t hold it in anymore and finally exploded.

”Brady, you need to get one thing straight.”

Bai Xiaosheng fixed his gaze on him and said, enunciating each word, ”No matter how we negotiate, in the end all of this has to be submitted for Chief Ogade to review. Only if he agrees does the contract count as a contract. Otherwise, it’s just a stack of scrap paper.”
