Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2752: Chapter 1956: Advancing Step by Step

Mr. Bai Xiaosheng and his party arrived at Lales City Hall by car, got out, and from the outside, the city hall appeared as a domed building, solemn and imposing.

Miss Fei’er had been here before, so after everyone entered, she went to negotiate with the front desk staff.

Upon learning of everyone’s identities, the front desk clerk immediately called for a supervisor, a plump middle-aged woman.

”Are you guests from the Zhenbei Group? You’ve traveled from afar; it must have been hard. Mr. Santos has already informed us in advance. Please, follow me.” The female supervisor spoke kindly.

”Thank you.” Mr. Bai responded politely.

Mr. Santos, mentioned by the female supervisor, was known to Bai Xiaosheng from earlier research.

He was Kustiel’s official representative, holding a complex array of titles.

The female supervisor led Mr. Bai Xiaosheng and the others into the building, taking an elevator all the way to the tenth floor, directly leading them into a conference room, and had tea and coffee brought in.

Having arranged everything, the female supervisor courteously said to Mr. Bai, ”Please wait here a moment; Mr. Santos should arrive shortly.”

”Thank you.” Mr. Bai nodded.

After the female supervisor left, Fei’er couldn’t help but sit next to Mr. Bai, leaning in slightly, lowering her voice, ”Mr. Bai, how do you plan to talk to the other party later? That Santos, I’ve met him once—he has a very strong presence, sharp thinking, and often throws unexpected curveballs in conversations. Ordinary people can’t handle it. We once sent a regional vice president, and he struggled in conversation.”

Fei’er was advising Mr. Bai to be well-prepared.

She naturally made all possible preparations for this visit.

However, today the main interlocutor was Mr. Bai, and Fei’er wasn’t sure about his preparations since this situation didn’t allow for a rehearsal.

Mr. Bai remained calm, sipping his coffee, smiling at her, ”You want to ask me how I’m going to talk, but I haven’t even seen them yet. How am I supposed to answer you? It’s all about negotiating to solve the problem; just sit down and talk, adapt, and respond accordingly.”

Mr. Bai’s expression showed no signs of tension.

Hearing this, a trace of concern surfaced in Fei’er’s eyes.

Beside her, Mollya shared the same expression.

Although she hadn’t met Mr. Santos, his presence was enough to make Fei’er nervous, suggesting he wouldn’t be easy to deal with. Even Mollya was getting anxious, losing confidence in Mr. Bai’s casual demeanor.

On the other side, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying seemed as carefree as Mr. Bai, actually critiquing the coffee flavor in low voices.

This left Fei’er and Mollya feeling a bit helpless, even dissatisfied.

They wondered how Mr. Bai managed to reach his current position, and with such a relaxed attitude, could he truly be a chieftain?

Furthermore, how did he choose his team? Why wasn’t anyone anxious at such a critical moment, seemingly treating it as a trivial matter?

But since Mr. Bai remained calm and poised, Fei’er could only hold back and quietly prepare herself.

If Mr. Bai were to falter later, at least she could step in and prevent an awkward silence, which would have minor consequences if not, but a real negotiation breakdown could be disastrous.

In this silent anticipation, ten minutes later, footsteps were heard outside the conference room.

Fei’er and Mollya sisters immediately craned their necks to look.

Mr. Bai Xiaosheng and his group also lifted their eyes in that direction.

The conference room door opened, and a group of people entered from outside.

The leader of the group appeared to be about fifty years old, tall and robust, standing upright.

His hair was graying, his facial features defined, and he sported a distinguished mustache.

His most striking feature was his eyes, like sharp, icy beams. Just standing there without speaking was enough to evoke a sense of intimidation.

Upon seeing this person, Fei’er instantly stood up, her face blooming with a smile.

”Mr. Santos, hello, long time no see!”

Santos glanced over, but his gaze naturally shifted to the unhurriedly rising Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, before turning back to Fei’er with a slight smile, ”Miss Fei’er, long time no see. Did Mrs. Margery send you this time to solve the issue with us?”

”Mr. Santos, you’re joking. I’m not qualified for that.” Fei’er smiled sweetly, introducing Mr. Bai Xiaosheng to Santos, ”This is Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, a business executive from our Zhenbei Group, on par with my mother’s rank, sent by our headquarters especially to resolve issues.”

Fei’er, indeed skilled in diplomacy, showcased the importance the Zhenbei Group placed on this matter through her introduction.

”Oh?” Santos turned his gaze back to Mr. Bai Xiaosheng.

Santos’ eyes were scrutinizing, filled with authority-induced pressure.

Yet Mr. Bai Xiaosheng remained composed, his gaze smiling, neither dodging nor flinching, ”Mr. Santos, hello.”

In the second of Santos’ silence, Fei’er felt a mix of nervousness and worry, fearing that Santos might find Mr. Bai too young and interpret this meeting as lacking sincerity.

”Hello, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng.” Santos suddenly smiled warmly.

Santos then even proactively stepped forward, extending his hand warmly to Mr. Bai Xiaosheng.

This scene was somewhat hard for Fei’er to believe.

Is this still the Santos she had met before? Even given Mr. Bai’s status, it seemed a bit excessive...
