Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1108: Chapter 1108: The Supreme Guest

Liu Beicheng, accompanied by the Zhang Family’s attendants and bodyguards, escorted Bai Xiaosheng and the two others straight to the banquet hall.

With over a dozen people bustling around them, this entourage attracted countless gazes along the way.

Bai Xiaosheng actually disliked such a display, feeling as if he were on exhibition, and it made him uncomfortable. He couldn’t even freely look around.

So, halfway there, Bai Xiaosheng stopped in his tracks and said to Liu Beicheng, ”Assistant Liu, have them stop following; you escorting us will suffice.”

”This...” Upon hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s request, Liu Beicheng hesitated.

After all, Bai Xiaosheng was an honored guest; he shouldn’t be treated like an ordinary person!

If Mr. Dong found out, he’d be in trouble!

However, Liu Beicheng couldn’t just ignore what Mr. Dong had instructed, and he had to listen to what Bai Xiaosheng said.

Suddenly, Liu Beicheng found himself in quite a dilemma.

”If Zhang Yudong asks, just say that I ordered it. It won’t cause trouble for you,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, noticing Liu Beicheng’s concern.

Seeing how approachable and friendly Bai Xiaosheng was, without a trace of the arrogance and haughtiness that Qian Haoyu and his group exhibited—as if expecting everyone to kneel in welcome—Liu Beicheng admired him even more.

He remembered how terrified he was when he first learned of Bai Xiaosheng’s true identity, fearing that he would be in deep trouble and used as a scapegoat, but to his surprise, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t hold any grudges against him at all.

This was the magnanimity of a truly powerful figure!

”Alright then.” Eventually, Liu Beicheng nodded, instructing the attendants and bodyguards around him, ”You all, go ahead!”

Those people nodded respectfully and left in an orderly manner.

In the end, only Liu Beicheng and the four people including Bai Xiaosheng remained.

Qian Haoyu, Huo Yumeng, and Zhou Dabin, who were following from a distance, noticed this ”strange” scene under the distant lights as bright as day.

”What’s going on? They haven’t even reached the hall yet, and the entourage has already dispersed?” Zhou Dabin was the first to notice and remarked in surprise.

”Hmph, looks like our guess was right,” Qian Haoyu huffed, ”Damn it, that guy is not some honored guest at all! What is Zhang Yudong thinking? Welcoming such a person, is he trying to demean me?!”

This time, Huo Yumeng, unusually, didn’t retort but coldly watched from afar, her focus on the most slender figure among the four, with her pearly white teeth biting down secretly.

Need we even ask? Zhang Yudong wasn’t just trying to demean Qian Haoyu.

This was clearly a case of the old saying: ”The drinker’s heart isn’t in the cup,” he had taken a fancy to that little lady!

Huo Yumeng was seething with indignation.

Being of noble birth and distinguished lineage, to be surpassed by a mere servant was unbearable.

...

Bai Xiaosheng and his companions strolled leisurely through Zhang Family Manor, enjoying the scenery by the lighting, which held its own unique charm.

Little did they know, two bitter souls were still trailing them from a distance.

...

Ten minutes later, a building resembling a castle appeared ahead, seemingly European yet with clear Chinese elements.

The combination of East and West was perfectly embodied in that structure.

It was grand yet not lacking in romance, classicism, or elegance.

”Ah, this is a work of Master Song Kai!” Bai Xiaosheng was quite familiar with this style.

Considering Master Song Kai was an old friend of Zhang Xi’s, it wasn’t surprising to find a building designed by him in Zhang Xi’s home.

Bai Xiaosheng continued to walk, appreciating the design details throughout the building, nodding frequently.

One day, when he truly became the president of Zhenbei Group, he would definitely have Master Song Kai help with the design, Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

The group proceeded and entered the hall.

The grand hall was indescribably well-decorated.

Even those with no understanding of design would find it bright and elegant, a visual treat to the eyes.

Great design is not about how skillfully it’s appreciated by experts, but how it resonates with those who know nothing about it.

Bai Xiaosheng was filled with admiration.

It wasn’t until they entered the hall that they discovered over a hundred guests were already there, mostly young men and women of prestigious background, dressed in expensive attire.

One could say, each was handsomer or more beautiful than the next.

The guests were grouped in threes and fives, holding wine glasses and whispering among themselves, each expanding their circle of friends and connections.

As Bai Xiaosheng and his party entered, they immediately caught the curious glances of some people, perhaps because their faces were unfamiliar, prompting a few extra looks.

But after a quick look, many eyes moved on.

It wasn’t surprising even if Liu Beicheng himself greeted them.

Over forty percent of those present had that privilege.

”Mr. Bai, how about I take you to the VIP room to rest for a bit? It’s quite noisy here,” Liu Beicheng suggested to Bai Xiaosheng in a low voice so others couldn’t hear.

This cocktail party was, in fact, held especially for Bai Xiaosheng.

Even the old master Zhang Xi of the Zhang Family regarded Bai Xiaosheng as an honored guest.

It could be said that the weight of all the guests combined might not even measure up to Bai Xiaosheng alone.

Liu Beicheng naturally prioritized Bai Xiaosheng’s feelings at all times.

”No need, a cocktail party should have this kind of atmosphere,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile to Liu Beicheng. ”Also, we’ll just wander around on our own, no need to follow us.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Beicheng quickly offered an ingratiating smile, ”You can rest here if you wish, no problem. But please don’t send me away. Mr. Dong tasked me to follow you and attend to any needs you might have. How could I possibly abandon my post?”

”Having you follow me makes me feel like I’m being watched by the host, which isn’t comfortable at all,” Bai Xiaosheng joked.

Liu Beicheng chuckled awkwardly.

”Assistant Liu, Mr. Bai isn’t so particular. He likes to be free and easy, something even Master Zhang Xi knows. If you don’t follow, no one will blame you,” Lin Weiwei said with a smile.

She first brought up Zhang Xi, then relieved Liu Beicheng’s concerns, dispelling his embarrassment.

Although Lin Weiwei had never met Zhang Xi, she had heard about him from Bai Xiaosheng and had gathered some understanding of the old man’s temperament.

”Well, okay then,” Liu Beicheng nodded, then quickly added, ”Mr. Bai, should you have any needs, feel free to ask any employee of the Zhang Family. They will follow all your instructions to a tee!”

The security guards, waiters, and Zhang Family servants wandering the cocktail hall had all been shown Bai Xiaosheng’s photo in advance.

Old Master Zhang Xi, Mr. Zhang Tianyu, and even young Mr. Zhang Yudong had given the order—

All requests from ”Mr. Bai” were to be treated as the highest command!

Even if Bai Xiaosheng wished to light a bonfire in the middle of the hall, they were to immediately, without hesitation, carry it out with conviction!

So, as Bai Xiaosheng and his party entered, the guests might have been indifferent, but the Zhang Family people scattered around identified the ”target” at once and communicated the news via earpieces.

One could say that in the eyes of the Zhang Family’s staff, amongst all the guests, only Bai Xiaosheng alone possessed supreme status.

Having given his instructions, Liu Beicheng left.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced around and spotting a bar in the distance with a line of uniformed, bright and attractive bartenders, he led Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying towards it.

The bartenders brightened as they saw Bai Xiaosheng approaching, with the females smiling as radiantly as blooming flowers.

But there were no excessive movements or words, from anyone.

Once Bai Xiaosheng and his party reached a spot at the bar, the bartender listened respectfully to their requests and skillfully crafted the cocktails with flair.

Just as Bai Xiaosheng took a cocktail in hand and took a sip, he felt someone come up close beside him.

”Brother, how are you?”

Bai Xiaosheng turned his head to look and jumped in shock.

Next to him, where had this monkey come from!
