Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1152: Chapter 1140: Do You Have Something to Tell Me?

A tranquil little courtyard, clean and tidy, with bluestone-paved ground.

With masterful landscaping, there were patches of lawn interspersed with flowers and shrubs.

Beneath the plants, the grass was neatly trimmed and vibrantly green, a feast for the eyes.

Such an exquisite courtyard, with a rosewood table set up in the center, facing which two cushions were placed, a censer lit, a chessboard arranged, and a pot of fine tea brewed—it was truly an ethereal setting.

At this moment, two individuals of such refined taste who were enjoying their tea and chess, were smiling at Bai Xiaosheng.

Their gazes were warm and kind, as if they were looking at their most admired younger generation.

Upon seeing these two, Bai Xiaosheng was instantly surprised and delighted.

Not only was Master Song Kai there, but Mr. Lu Yun was also present!

Seeing Lu Yun, Bai Xiaosheng’s happiness increased twofold.

In Tiannan, at the Lu Family Mansion, Bai Xiaosheng had once discussed life with this magnate, Lu Yun.

It had been two and a half years since then.

During that period, Bai Xiaosheng had more contact and interaction with Lu Qingfeng, with whom he shared a bond like that of brother and sister.

Towards Lu Yun, Bai Xiaosheng also harbored a filial respect.

After all, for such a big shot to have been willing to converse as equals with him, an unknown youngster at the time, even taking into account the favor Bai Xiaosheng owed him, it was indeed incredibly precious!

In the past two-plus years, Bai Xiaosheng had never seen Lu Yun again, nor had they been in contact.

After all, Lu Yun was the chairman and CEO of Tengyun Group, a man of high status, managing an internet empire worth five hundred billion US dollars two years ago, and certainly too busy with daily affairs that demanded his constant attention.

However, more than once, Lu Qingfeng had mentioned that Lu Yun had instructed him to be close and well-acquainted with Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng was also very grateful to Lu Yun.

And now, at this moment, to meet an old friend so unexpectedly, and to find Lu Yun at Master Song Kai’s home!

Bai Xiaosheng was also very happy!

”Master Song Kai, Lu!” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, quickly stepping forward.

Both were individuals who could be considered as benefactors to him, Bai Xiaosheng, and who were willing to offer their care and concern, so Bai Xiaosheng held them in genuine, heartfelt respect.

Master Song Kai and Lu Yun were already smiling and nodding, standing up one after the other to assess Bai Xiaosheng as he quickly approached.

”Bai, the Senior Affairs Officer, it’s been a year since we met, and you truly stand out with exceptional poise. You are indeed the epitome of youthful charm!” Master Song Kai laughed heartily.

Bai Xiaosheng was promoted to Senior Affairs Officer, and Master Song Kai knew right away, even sending his congratulations through WeChat.

Lu Yun, too, was smiling, giving Bai Xiaosheng a sincere thumbs up, praising him with an emphatic, ”Impressive!”

In Lu Yun’s eyes as he looked at Bai Xiaosheng, there was also a mix of astonishment, admiration, happiness, and even a hint of awe.

Who would have thought that the young man he had taken an interest in had such potential, such fortune, and that his growth exceeded his expectations by a hundredfold.

In less than three years, Bai Xiaosheng had leaped to the position of Senior Affairs Officer for the Greater China Region of Zhenbei Group, reaching the level of Chen Jiutian from back then!

It should be noted that Chen Jiutian had spent a lifetime to reach that position.

Apart from these facts that Master Song Kai knew as well, Lu Yun was also aware that—

The business data company Zunbai Zhisheng, which dominated Asia, had Bai Xiaosheng possessing a significant amount of original shares and influence.

The recently powerful rising company in the business world—Xue Lian Wan He—was also backed by Bai Xiaosheng’s investment.

Even the new group managed by his good son-in-law in Zhengdong Province—Shengsheng International—held a substantial amount of Bai Xiaosheng’s shares.

All of this was achieved by a young man in less than three years!

As Lu Yun gazed at Bai Xiaosheng, he felt a mix of emotions and admiration.

Even at Bai Xiaosheng’s age, he feared he would not compare!

”Indeed, the future of the business world belongs to these youngsters, and we’re gradually exiting the stage,” Lu Yun thought to himself, the corner of his mouth involuntarily revealing a smile.

He didn’t feel sad about it, not at all, rather, he felt a sense of relief.

Because not only Bai Xiaosheng, but also Zhengdong Province and his son Lu Qingfeng, were all marching forward boldly in the business world, crafting their own glories.

Especially because Bai Xiaosheng’s achievements also spurred Lu Qingfeng and Zhengdong Province to work even harder.

Was this not a good thing?

Lu Yun felt it was.

Facing Master Song Kai’s teasing and Lu Yun’s joyful praise, Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

”I dare not boast about my achievements in front of you two. Master Song, if you tease me again, I might just not give you the booklet and fan face I took the trouble to write before coming here,” Bai Xiaosheng said.

”Oh, you brought your new calligraphy works? Show them to me quickly!”

In Master Song Kai’s eyes, a fervor suddenly appeared, almost impatient.

Lu Yun looked on with surprise.

Bai Xiaosheng, he knows calligraphy too?

Master Song Kai had immersed himself in this field for no less than thirty years, so why was he so excited to hear that Bai Xiaosheng had written something?

Behind Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei obediently took out the collection of poems and the fan face Bai Xiaosheng had copied and handed them over.

Master Song Kai eagerly took them and his eyes brightened as he looked through them.

”Good, very good, even more refined, like an inspired hand!” Master Song Kai couldn’t stop praising and didn’t forget to look up at Bai Xiaosheng with a smile, ”Kid, what are you doing in the corporate world? You might as well join the cultural scene. How about I arrange a calligraphy exhibition for you? This is already at the master level!”

Master Song Kai showed off the items to Lu Yun with pride.

Lu Yun took the paper fan face, on which was written ”The Deer Cry” from the ”Book of Songs • Lesser Odes.”

The writing was extremely beautiful, with an indescribable elegance and flair between the strokes.

Lu Yun actually also loved ancient literature and paintings and calligraphy; his home was filled with many originals. Having seen plenty of fine things, he’d naturally become very discerning. But seeing what Bai Xiaosheng had written, Lu Yun fell silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and smiled firmly, not accepting any refusal, ”Sheng, write me a fan face too!”

”Or, can I have this one?” Lu Yun looked towards Master Song Kai again.

”Are you crazy? This is mine, mine.” Master Song Kai hurriedly snatched the fan face back from Lu Yun’s hands, his gaze full of vigilance.

Just like a big kid.

This scene amused Bai Xiaosheng and the others instantly.

”Lu, I’ll write another one for you,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh. ”Or, if you want something else, that’s fine too.”

”Alright, alright, I’ll give this one to you,” Master Song Kai suddenly said, as if his earlier action was just a joke, and he even generously passed the fan face to Lu Yun.

Lu Yun was taken aback.

Master Song Kai ignored him and laughed at everyone, ”Come on, let’s not stand here, let’s go inside and talk.”

With Master Song Kai speaking, the group moved toward the house, and he took the opportunity to pull Bai Xiaosheng along, leaning in as they walked, ”Kid, I just lost a fan face, so about what you just promised Lu Yun, ’or, if you want something else, that’s fine too’—doesn’t that mean I should get a booklet to make up for it?”

Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback, then smiled wryly.

So this old gentleman felt that was the real profit...

But looking at the man who was like a grandfather to him, Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile, ”Sure thing!”

...

In the end, Bai Xiaosheng was invited into the main house, where he was pulled aside by Master Song Kai and Lu Yun for a chat.

Whether it was about calligraphy, cultural relics, or experiences and insights from the workplace, Bai Xiaosheng conversed with ease and enjoyment with the two seniors.

Compared to a year ago, Bai Xiaosheng had become more mature and steady.

And compared to two years ago, it was almost a complete transformation; his aura was now powerful.

Master Song Kai and Lu Yun only grew fonder of the young man as they talked more.

However, when they unintentionally learned that Bai Xiaosheng was staying outside, Master Song Kai immediately called Wei Feng to bring Bai Xiaosheng’s luggage back from Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.

”I know you were afraid of disturbing me late at night, but by being so distant, aren’t you making me even angrier!” Master Song Kai said ”huffily.”

Bai Xiaosheng quickly apologized.

Naturally, Master Song Kai wasn’t really angry and soon swapped to a smiling face.

To be so valued by Master Song Kai, indeed, no one else can match that! Lu Yun thought to himself.

He began to feel even more that Bai Xiaosheng was extraordinarily fortunate.

Actually, Lu Yun also knew that Mr. Xiahou Qi, President of the Greater China Region, had been helped by Bai Xiaosheng and particularly liked his writing...

Lu Yun felt even more that Bai Xiaosheng was like a lucky star.

The three of them chatted for over an hour still not fully satisfied, and then someone came to consult Master Song Kai, saying his personal doctor had arrived for a physical examination.

The old man actually refused on the spot, stating he would do it another day.

After persuasion from Bai Xiaosheng and Lu Yun, Master Song Kai reluctantly left.

But before leaving, Master Song Kai smiled again, saying he would go to the wine cellar in a bit and choose a bottle of his self-made wine for them to taste.

After Master Song Kai left, Lu Yun resumed chatting with Bai Xiaosheng and suddenly laughed.

”Sheng, do you have something you want to say to me? Since earlier, I’ve noticed that you not only have something to say, you might have a question too,” Lu Yun said. ”Ask away. Whatever I can tell you, I won’t hold back!”
