Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1301: Chapter 1232: An Unpleasant Meeting

Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying were led by a beautiful waitress straight to the eighth floor of the Jiangwang International Hotel.

In the end, they were brought into a hall.

The hall was tastefully decorated, subdued in elegance; at first glance, it appeared ordinary, but it gave off an aura of high class.

The furnishings in the hall were exquisite, down to each small ornament, all incredibly delicate. On closer inspection, unassuming parts of the trinkets were all marked with brand logos, all being premium brands.

There was a sofa area in the hall, and a bar, for guests to rest at will.

Bai Xiaosheng swept his gaze across the room.

There were already a hundred or two hundred people here; while the number was not small, the space was so large it still seemed empty.

The beautiful waitress who had brought Bai Xiaosheng and his party here gave them a slight smile and stepped aside.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others thought she would leave, but to their surprise, the beauty continued to follow them at a respectful distance.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at the waitress with bewilderment, and she immediately responded with a sweet smile, ”The three of you, this must be your first time attending our ’Jiangwang Charity Gala,’ right? Guests like you who hold high-level invitations, we assign a special service staff to act as a guide, to answer questions or to be at your service.”

With that said, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly had an epiphany.

No wonder at a cursory glance before, there seemed to be as many male and female staff members in the corners as there were guests.

”If you have any questions about the gala, you can ask me,” said the beauty with a graceful smile. ”You can call me Yue.”

This beauty had a calm and pure smile, and her voice was pleasant to the ear.

Having her as a guide really wasn’t a bad thing.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and replied very politely with a smile, ”Yue, is this the total number of people attending the charity gala?”

Apart from almost half being service staff, were there only about a hundred guests?

Was the scale really that small?

”No, sir,” Yue said with a smile. ”This is the VIP lounge, where only esteemed guests can enter. We also have a general waiting lounge. The total number of guests that usually come to each auction is around three hundred.”

Bain Xiaosheng uttered ”Oh,” and then said, ”So does that mean all the VIPs are here?”

If that was the case, Bai Xiaosheng wanted to see if there were any familiar faces.

After all, according to Ron, many business tycoons, film, and music stars would be attending.

”This...” Yue hesitated slightly but still said with a smile, ”Some VIPs are not here, including friends of the boss, specially invited guests who prefer quiet and don’t want to show their faces, and our hotel’s five-diamond VIP members...”

Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback, and then he understood.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a glance and shrugged.

To put it nicely, these were VIPs.

But in fact, there were VIPs above these VIPs.

Indeed, those real big shots probably didn’t want to make public appearances to avoid trouble.

”So the VIPs are all shy, huh? Then wouldn’t they have to reveal themselves during the auction later, and won’t it cause a sensation to see who bids high for the items?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a chuckle.

Yue answered with a laugh, ”You jest, sir. When the auction starts later, everyone will wear a masquerade mask and the lighting will be adjusted, as a measure for confidentiality. However, when the event is over, you can choose to take off the mask, that is allowed.”

Quite a thoughtful arrangement.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also nodded in approval.

”Where will the auction be held later?” Bai Xiaosheng asked further.

”The auction hall is in another room, but also on this floor,” Yue replied with a smile.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng was dignified yet young and handsome, personable, and easy-going without airs,

Yue felt even more amiable towards him and offered with a smile, ”Later, I can bring you the album of auction items to look at, with starting prices on it, so you can get familiar beforehand.”

Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

Yue then asked the three with a smile, ”Would you like something to drink? Coffee, tea, or a cocktail? I can have the waiter bring it over.”

Weiwei pointed to an area of the sofa section, ”We haven’t spotted any acquaintances yet, so let’s go sit there for a while. Please have the waiter bring the drinks over there. I’ll have a cup of black tea.”

”I’ll have a coffee.”

”Get me a Margarita.”

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also stated their choices of drink.

Yue took note, nodded with a smile, and turned to leave.

Bai Xiaosheng and his party then headed straight for the rest area.

”The service here is really good; thanks to Ron’s VIP invitation, we get to enjoy this high-level treatment,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a laugh.

”Indeed!” Lei Ying agreed emphatically.

”It’s because the lady is nice, right? Both beautiful and gentle,” Lin Weiwei teased.

”Mainly because of the great service orientation, and she’s a good person,” Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying exchanged a glance and snickered.

Lin Weiwei gave them a look.

Ha, men are all pigs.

While they were chatting, a person dressed as a hotel manager approached, standing elegantly in front of them.

As Bai Xiaosheng and his friends looked over, the man’s face broke into a warm smile, and he said very politely, ”Excuse me, our boss would like to have a word with you.”

”Your boss?” Bai Xiaosheng exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also couldn’t help but exchange glances.

”That would be the owner of this hotel, the host of this charity gala, Mr. Wang Xinmo,” the man said with a smile, ”known in social circles as ’Little Prince’!”

Bai Xiaosheng normally would refuse such an invitation to meet.

If they want to see him, they should come over, not expect us to go to them.

However, today, upon hearing the identity of the inviter, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly became somewhat interested.

This hotel, situated in prime Linshen land, was extremely valuable, and as the organizer of such a charity event, the inviter must hold an extraordinary position within the Wang Family.
