Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2919: Chapter 2031: The Outlook Is Not Optimistic

From Wan Yu to Ganande in America, Bai Xiaosheng and his team flew for over ten hours, finally landing at Ganande’s international airport at ten in the morning local time.

Having gotten ample rest during the flight, and with their mastery of handling jet lag, the minor time difference between Wan Yu and Ganande meant that all three were vibrant and showed no signs of fatigue when they deplaned.

Arriving at Ganande, Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying all realized that this visit was far more than a routine report to the Group; it was the prelude to an unprecedented showdown!

Their opponents would be the president of the strongest division in the Group, along with a vice chairman!

Such formidable adversaries imposed a certain invisible pressure even on Bai Xiaosheng!

This time, the confrontation was intensely serious: the only outcomes were either victory or defeat!

Standing atop the multi-story terminal building, Bai Xiaosheng gazed through the expansive glass wall at the skyscrapers looming in Ganande, and after a deeply contemplative silence of several seconds, he quietly spoke to the two similarly wordless companions at his side, ”Let’s go!”

Outside the airport, the trio was greeted by Jiang Kuo, the Asia Division President.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng again, Jiang Kuo’s demeanor was jubilantly enthusiastic, greeting him with a hearty hug, while firmly patting his back.

Jiang Kuo was family to Bai Xiaosheng, having once put everything on the line to support him.

Bai Xiaosheng regarded him as an elder brother.

”Brother Jiang, why did you come personally?” With no outsiders around, Bai Xiaosheng addressed him informally, smiling.

”To escort such a strong figure from our Group back home, I naturally had to come personally!” Responding with a smile, Jiang Kuo nodded to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying as well.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying returned the greeting in succession.

Then, Jiang Kuo took Bai Xiaosheng’s hand, leading him towards the car, ”Let’s get in the car and have a good chat!”

Ultimately, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions, with Jiang Kuo, entered a stretch Lincoln and drove away from the airport, heading to the Group headquarters.

Inside the car, Jiang Kuo was practically transformed into a chatterbox, animatedly listing to Bai Xiaosheng and the others the praises showered upon him by everyone from the Vice Chairmen down to the employees at headquarters.

”Within a year, traversing over twenty countries and seventy cities, resolving hundreds of tricky issues faced by major enterprises! And you did all this without prior knowledge of the situations, grasping, and solving problems spontaneously! Truly incredible!”

Jiang Kuo clapped in applause, displaying two thumbs up in high praise.

”You’ve certainly raised the reputation of our Asia division minister! Now, I walk around with my chin up high, staring at the ceiling!”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, listening beside him, also bore smiles.

”You’re exaggerating a bit.” Bai Xiaosheng laughed, ”I merely successfully completed the expat task assigned by headquarters.”

”Oh, you definitely can’t say that!”

Jiang Kuo quickly interjected, ”Your accomplishments are outstanding! Everyone’s been saying that with your achievements of the past year, none of the presidents of our six major divisions can match you! People are even suggesting that the Group should reward you grandly and promote you.”

Having said that, Jiang Kuo whimsically stroked his chin, smiling, ”You’re already at the president level; one more step up and you’re a vice chairman! The youngest vice chairman in the Group’s history—”

Though said in jest, there was indeed a degree of seriousness in Jiang Kuo’s tone.

Observing Bai Xiaosheng smiling unaffectedly, Jiang Kuo hurried to say, ”It’s not just me flattering you; plenty of people have been spreading this, and it’s said that even the vice chairmen have mentioned it!”

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but smile.

Unexpectedly, taking on this arduous expat task has been a boon to his popularity.

But this is good!

If he completes the system task from Red Lotus, wouldn’t he directly rise to vice chairman!

This serves as a preemptive heads-up to prevent excessive shock later on.

The youngest vice chairman ever in Zhenbei Group’s history, just the thought of it stirred Bai Xiaosheng deep inside.

However, his task was yet unfinished, and less than a week remained until its deadline.

Feeling a twinge of pressure, Bai Xiaosheng suppressed his excitement.

He revisited the task details in his mind.

”Accept the task assigned by the Group’s meeting, and complete the expat mission within a year...”

”Ensure that the progress of regular duties remains unaffected during the mission...”

”Within the year, uncover a significant mistake or major problem at a vice chairman level for final assessment...”

This time, Bai Xiaosheng returned to Ganande for one final resolution with Vice Chairman Morgan.

Completing this task meant successfully advancing!

”What’s on your mind?” Jiang Kuo noticed Bai Xiaosheng’s momentary distraction and couldn’t resist asking with a smile.

”Oh, it’s just your words were too dazzling and sent my thoughts wandering.” Bai Xiaosheng returned to reality, humorously smiling, ”I was pondering which vice chairman held me in such high regard, suggesting I could make vice chairman.”

Initially, Jiang Kuo laughed heartily, ready to answer Bai Xiaosheng’s query.

But before speaking, he seemed to recall something, paused noticeably, and his smile briefly froze.

”What’s the matter?” Bai Xiaosheng naturally observed Jiang Kuo’s unusual reaction and couldn’t help but wonder.

Regaining composure, Jiang Kuo said, ”Those who have praised you greatly recently include Lu Cheng’an and Li Yunyuan as the leading vice chairmen. However, I received word this morning that Elder Lu, Cheng’an, experienced a sudden issue at dawn and has been sent to Saint Nande Hospital... Oh, it’s the best hospital here in Ganande.”
