Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 922: Chapter 922: The Han Family is Sending Someone

After leaving the city government office, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions saw there was still plenty of time, so they went to another tourist attraction for a visit.

Along the way, Lin Ke bombarded him with questions like an inquisitive child.

”Who would’ve thought, Bai Xiaosheng! In Zhongjing, you’re on such good terms with the mayor. Now in Yunhai, you’re getting along so well with the Mayor of Yunhai too. You have some serious social skills! Do you have any secrets? Come on, share them with me.”

Lin Ke pressed Bai Xiaosheng for answers.

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, ”Do you really want to hear?”

”Of course!”

”Alright, listen closely!” Bai Xiaosheng said gravely, getting serious.

Such a demeanor made Lin Ke focus intently, ears pricked up in anticipation.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also looked over.

Bai Xiaosheng laughed and said, ”First off, you need to eat more.”

”Huh?” Lin Ke was startled.

What does that have to do with anything?

”You have to eat more to grow taller,” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, ”You wouldn’t want the leaders to feel like they’re talking down to a child, would you?”

Lin Ke was stunned for a moment, then flew into a rage, lunging at Bai Xiaosheng with bared teeth, ”How dare you mock me, I’ll kill you!”

Bai Xiaosheng immediately ran for his life, and the two began to chase and play-fight.

Both Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were torn between laughter and tears.

They browsed tourist sites in the afternoon, hit the night market for seafood in the evening, and went shopping, where Lin Ke indulged in various purchases not just for herself but also bought many things for Lin Weiwei, and even Lei Ying got a share.

All expenses were charged to Bai Xiaosheng’s account.

As Lin Ke put it—”I’m punishing you for your smart mouth!”

Bai Xiaosheng appeared bitter on the surface but didn’t really mind; after all, he wasn’t short of money. Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying had been through a lot with him, so they deserved some benefits.

That night passed without incident.

The next morning, Bai Xiaosheng was woken up early by Lin Ke banging on his door.

After washing up, everyone went down to the hotel’s first floor for breakfast.

While discussing where to go next, Bai Xiaosheng received a call.

It was from an unfamiliar number, local to Yunhai.

”Hello, is this Mr. Bai Xiaosheng?”

Bai Xiaosheng answered the call; the person on the other end called him by name and was very polite in their tone.

”Yes, it’s me. Who’s this?” asked Bai Xiaosheng.

”I am Han Chengren, general manager of Yunyu Industrial! My son, Han Minghao, was the one leading the group you had a conflict with yesterday at Yunhai Landmark Plaza.”

On the phone, Han Chengren not only identified himself but also mentioned the confrontation from the day before.

After all, it was a bit suspicious to receive a personal call from a corporate executive with whom he had never met—it sounded almost like a scam.

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression changed, and he laughed, ”So it’s Mr. Han. May I ask what’s this regarding?”

Bai Xiaosheng had yet to share his suspicions about Han Chengren with Lin Ke when the man himself actually got in touch first!

Bai Xiaosheng was amused by this turn of events.

Indeed, when they returned last night, they had found that their commotion at Yunhai Landmark Plaza had caused quite a stir, with even the hotel staff gossiping about it.

Of course, no one knew they were behind it.

The news only mentioned the ”square dance” incident, saying that fitness activities should be held at appropriate locations to avoid besmirching Yunhai’s name, likely a crisis PR move by the wealthy parents of those involved.

Now, first thing in the morning, Han Chengren was calling.

Could it be that since his son got bullied, the father was now looking to settle the score? Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

”I wouldn’t dare to instruct you, but I had a slight misunderstanding with Mr. Bai and would like to meet you in person to talk it over. Do you have some time? May I pay you a visit at ten o’clock this morning?”

Han Chengren was very polite.

After all, in his view, Bai Xiaosheng was no simple character. Turning up unannounced might result in finding an empty room, and more likely, might provoke the other party’s dislike.

”Good, I’ll await Mr. Han’s distinguished arrival at the hotel,” Bai Xiaosheng agreed.

”You are too kind. I will be there on time,” Han Chengren was also very polite.

The conversation ended there.

Bai Xiaosheng hung up the phone and noticed everyone was looking at him.

”Whose call was that, Mr. Han? Which Mr. Han? You’re going to wait for him at the hotel?” Lin Ke asked curiously.

”The general manager of Yunyu Industrial, Han Chengren,” Bai Xiaosheng said. ”His son was the one leading the group we had a conflict with at the plaza yesterday.”

”Oh, it’s him!” Lin Ke said.

”What do you know about this Han Chengren? Tell me,” Bai Xiaosheng asked.

He also wanted to know whether Lin Ke had been paying attention to this matter.

What if Lin Ke had also been investigating Han Chengren and Yunyu Industrial behind his back? Wouldn’t that mean he was aiming for the same target?

This was not proper.

”From what you said, you seem interested in him?” Lin Ke asked.

Bai Xiaosheng neither confirmed nor denied it, merely smiling.

”When you just spoke to him on the phone, does that Han Chengren know your identity?” Lin Ke inquired.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, saying with certainty, ”He doesn’t know.”

”However, his son must have told him about the Mayor’s attitude towards me, and we also met yesterday at the city hall! Putting both instances together, he must think I’m someone of significant standing, hence he is eager to come and probe,” Bai Xiaosheng said.

He was so certain for a reason.

Right before Bai Xiaosheng hung up the phone, the seemingly irrelevant yet exceedingly courteous words he spoke, were actually a probe!

If Han Chengren had known he was an Affairs Officer from the Affairs Department, and specifically a New-type Affairs Officer, his attitude would almost certainly have been somewhat uneasy, and even if he pretended not to know, there would have been a slight change in his voice at that moment.

Bai Xiaosheng, having undergone systematic training, could detect this subtlety.

”This Han Chengren doesn’t know my identity, perfect. This will allow me to size him up face to face,” Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

At this very moment.

Han Chengren and Han Minghao were at the high-speed rail station, waiting to pick someone up—his brother, Han Chengyi.

As it happened, the Han family had a single male heir for three generations. When it came to Han Chengren, he had been frail and sickly since childhood. A fortune-teller said his life element was ”Wood,” suggesting ”One tree cannot support itself; it invites disaster,” and that he needed ”Two trees to make a forest, to last a long time.”

Originally, Han Dong thought he might not live to see a natural successor, so he adopted a child whose birth element was also ”Wood” and named him Han Chengyi.

This Han Chengyi was indeed remarkable, making his way smoothly in his career, and with his support, Han Chengren eventually became the general manager of Yunyu Industrial.

”Uncle!”

Just after Han Chengren finished his call with Bai Xiaosheng, he heard his son shout and wave in that direction.

Han Chengren looked over and saw a striking figure, smiling and striding towards them.

Behind him, there were two people carrying many things.

It was Han Chengyi.

Though Han Chengyi was an assistant at the Affairs Department, he was no ordinary assistant, but an assistant to a Senior Affairs Officer!

Of course, at the Senior Affairs Officer level, naturally, there would be more than two assistants.

But being an assistant to a Senior Affairs Officer, Han Chengyi was indeed extraordinary!

And he was also qualified to lead new recruits.

Those following him were precisely the newcomers.

At this moment, they were essentially his assistants.

”Big brother, why did you come in person?” Han Chengyi quickened his pace and approached Han Chengren upon seeing him there.

”It is only right for me to pick you up; we brothers don’t stand on ceremony!”

Han Chengren said with a smile, ”Besides, I’ll need your help with something soon.”
