Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1674: Chapter 1378: I’ve Decided We’re Friends!

Lai Yin said he wanted to thank Bai Xiaosheng, which made Lin Weiwei quite surprised, and Lei Ying felt the same way.

Even though they only interacted for a short while, the impression Lai Yin gave them was—

Not very reliable.

Now, with Lai Yin so seriously wanting to express gratitude, it just felt a bit odd.

Sure enough, Lai Yin went on to ask Bai Xiaosheng to fork out money to invest in him.

What kind of logic is that!

Lin Weiwei was clearly taken aback, then laughed in exasperation and said, ”How can you have such a thick skin, thinking that investing in you would be repaying my Xiaosheng?”

Lei Ying also smacked his lips a bit.

”Of course, even if others wanted to invest in me, I wouldn’t be interested,” Lai Yin said as if it was a matter of course, with an air of arrogance.

In Lai Yin’s view, if it weren’t for knowing that Bai Xiaosheng had favored his uncle, and could mingle with big shots like Soruns and others, he would never consider Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng had appointed his uncle as the general manager of ”Encounter” Wine Group. Although Lai Yin didn’t know how big the company was, he had heard it was founded in collaboration with the three giants of the wine industry, so it should be quite sizable.

Uncle Jonas had been unemployed for so long. Returning to the workplace, he had assumed he would never regain his past glory. Bai Xiaosheng offering his uncle this position was an immense favor. With his uncle’s temperament, he would undoubtedly be immensely grateful to Bai Xiaosheng, never skimping on etiquette.

But just now, his uncle actually called Bai Xiaosheng ”Xiaosheng”—mind you, he used to address him with a formal ”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng.” For it to be this way, the two must have had a great chat, with Bai Xiaosheng allowing Uncle Jonas to address him as such.

Lai Yin most detested those rigid and pompous individuals who would flaunt their status, proud of their favors. It was precisely these self-important individuals, confident of their extraordinary status, who approached him for cooperation, only to be mocked and rejected without exception.

Some people, not giving up, attempted an indirect approach, trying to sway members of Lai Yin’s team, but they came back unsuccessful.

Speaking of which, the members of Lai Yin’s team were incredible.

They all came together for their dreams and for Lai Yin’s ”personal charm.”

These people care neither for money nor fame, maintaining distant relationships with their families, considering the team as family.

No matter how hard others tried to poach them, they simply couldn’t be moved!

Being the backbone of the entire team, holding the final say, Lai Yin had the confidence to declare that he wouldn’t be keen even if others offered investment.

Let Bai Xiaosheng invest, that would mean Bai Xiaosheng could earn big, which would be Lai Yin’s way of repaying him.

”Hmph!” Lin Weiwei really felt there was no reasoning with someone like this.

Of course, she also didn’t know the details about Lai Yin.

Lei Ying, however, looked between Bai Xiaosheng and Jonas to see their reactions.

Jonas’s face showed a hint of delight, looking at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng’s expression remained unchanged.

”Come on, everyone, try the pies I made.” Mrs. Jonas cheerfully brought out a freshly baked plate of fruit pies.

”So, what do you think?” Lai Yin urged Bai Xiaosheng.

”Let’s eat first, then I’ll think about it,” Bai Xiaosheng said, looking at the pies with a smile.

Lai Yin was taken aback,

Jonas was simply incredulous, then his expression became more anxious.

It’s rare for Lai Yin to openly ask Bai Xiaosheng for investment; why wouldn’t Bai Xiaosheng agree?

Jonas really wanted to agree on behalf of his young boss.

Seeing Lai Yin at a loss, Lin Weiwei was quite happy, gave a cold chuckle, and joyfully went to try Mrs. Jonas’s fruit pies.

”Delicious!” The little girl’s eyes shone as she urged, ”Xiaosheng, try it soon, and Lei Ying too, it’s really good. Mrs. Jonas, can you teach me later?”

Mrs. Jonas was also very fond of this girl Lin Weiwei, and nodded with a smile, ”Sure, if Miss Weiwei wants to learn, I’ll teach you later.”

”Alright, alright.” Lin Weiwei nodded vigorously like a little pecking chick.

Seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and started tasting with Lei Ying, praising non-stop.

Jonas had no choice but to divert his attention to lunch, likewise sparing no praises for his wife’s cooking skills.

Jonas managed to endure until today, thanks to his wife’s support.

Mrs. Jonas took her seat, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise but more so delighted.

Everyone was happy, but Lai Yin seemed to feel out of place, even finding the fruit pies he usually loved weren’t as tasty.

Lai Yin looked at the three of them, his eyes skeptical.

Finally, Lai Yin couldn’t hold back any longer and voiced, ”I want to ask, what is the relationship among you three?”

Bai Xiaosheng showed no hint of superiority at all.

Lin Weiwei called Bai Xiaosheng ”Xiaosheng.”

Lei Ying’s attitude towards Bai Xiaosheng was more like a friend.

Is this Bai Xiaosheng really the one Auntie Anna mentioned, someone on equal standing with Soruns?

Lai Yin found it a bit hard to believe.

Those wealthy and powerful figures, don’t they all emphasize prestige and grandeur?

Seeing the way they came with Bai Xiaosheng earlier, with his actions suggesting deference, but now it seemed like they were siblings.

”Him? He’s my boss!” Lin Weiwei said proudly, pointing at Bai Xiaosheng, ”He’s also my Xiaosheng! Back then, he was the one who brought me into the career world; otherwise, I’d just be a minor employee responsible for receiving guests.”

”What’s going on?” Mrs. Jonas asked with a smile, her gaze containing traces of curiosity.

Actually, Mrs. Jonas was also full of curiosity about why someone as meticulous as her husband would call Bai Xiaosheng ”Xiaosheng.”

She also wanted to know more about her husband’s new boss, the young Asian guy.
