Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2000: Chapter 1551: Invited to the Manor

Bai Xiaosheng chatted a while with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying about meeting Mr. Meifu tomorrow. Having gotten a sense of the situation in advance, they then went their separate ways to their rooms to rest.

That night passed without incident.

On the next day, Bai Xiaosheng and the two got up as usual, had breakfast, drank coffee, chatted for a bit and went out for some morning exercise.

They had agreed to meet Meifu at ten in the morning, which left them plenty of time.

When it was almost time, Bai Xiaosheng and the two stood at the hotel entrance, hailed a random taxi, and headed to the agreed place, which was also the residence of the Meifu family—the famous Andeliao Castle.

Bai Xiaosheng had looked up the information, and discussed it with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying while having breakfast.

It is said that Andeliao Castle and its surroundings were once among the most beautiful places in New Orleans, even considered a local scenic spot. However, after being privatized over a decade ago, it is no longer open to the public. Tourists can only head to the nearby mountains to take a distant view; few can get close.

”Nominally, it’s owned by Meifu, but our company’s head of the South America Division in New Orleans often stays there besides his office.” Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but laugh, ”Viewed this way, is our company executive considered mooching off his mother-in-law, and isn’t that living off a woman?”

Bai Xiaosheng’s sudden jest immediately made Lei Ying choke on his drink and caused Lin Weiwei to burst into laughter.

Apart from talking about the castle, Bai Xiaosheng formally told Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying about the possible issues between the South America Division head and Meifu, his brother-in-law. Yesterday, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t say it, for he hadn’t ’checked into’ the related information, and making assumptions could make it difficult to explain to them.

But speaking about it in the morning didn’t pose any problem.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were quite surprised by Bai Xiaosheng’s words.

But hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s analysis, it seemed reasonable, and they also sensed possible underlying turbulence beneath the surface.

Either Bai Xiaosheng was worrying too much or the depth was indeed terrifying!

The situation in the South America Division is currently quite special. The business president was promoted two months ago. The executive director, Meifu’s brother-in-law, was also promoted, but the new executive director hasn’t taken office yet. Meifu’s brother-in-law is currently holding two posts, turning him into the ’sole’ authority responsible for everything related to the South America Division both here and at headquarters.

Because of this, he’s so busy that Bai Xiaosheng’s group couldn’t meet him this time.

It can be said that the top leader of the South America Division holds absolute power here, having the ability to report directly to headquarters, almost unparalleled!

In terms of position, Bai Xiaosheng would need to combine with Jiang Kuo to match one such person!

If Bai Xiaosheng were to investigate this person here, it would indeed be extremely absurd. If the opposite party gets enraged and files a lawsuit at the company headquarters, Bai Xiaosheng would have to bear the consequences!

The opposite party has rooted deeply in the South America Division and holds extensive connections at headquarters, while Bai Xiaosheng has been in the position of executive director of Greater China Region for less than two years busy with reforms and development, neglecting to develop headquarters relations.

Comparing the two, the gap is indeed wide!

Hence, Lin Weiwei was extremely worried about Bai Xiaosheng, fearing he might encounter enormous trouble in this matter, get deeply involved in the whirlpool, and find it hard to extricate himself.

Lei Ying felt the same.

Facing their concerns, Bai Xiaosheng’s attitude was to keep watch, listen, and stay alert without needlessly worrying about future possible troubles unless he has concrete evidence.

Of course, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t say this other sentence.

If it really reaches that point, he won’t back down, fighting to the end with them!

Ultimately, the future of the company belongs to the Bai family, and Bai Xiaosheng won’t sit idly by on such a major issue.

Additionally, he’s about to get promoted, which will enhance his ability to contend with them!

At this moment, Bai Xiaosheng and the two are riding in a taxi heading towards Andeliao Castle.

The taxi driver initially refused when hearing that destination. Considering Bai Xiaosheng’s group as tourists, he thought they were delusional and clearly informed Bai Xiaosheng that they couldn’t enter there. Even when Bai Xiaosheng explained they were invited, the driver still refused to believe them.

Finally, Bai Xiaosheng asked Lin Weiwei to give the taxi driver a large sum of money, telling him just to drive there without needing to refund the money even if they couldn’t enter.

Seeing the money, the taxi driver finally agreed.

Driving towards the destination, the taxi traveled on an extraordinarily wide and high-standard highway, with scenery along the way that resembled that in an oil painting.

As the vehicle moved on, opening the windows slightly allowed the fresh air to rush in, making folks feel exceedingly comfortable.

Even Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but exclaim that living in such a place probably doesn’t require deliberate exercise, and one could live a long life naturally.

”Indeed! This is locally the best place, but unfortunately now it’s privately owned. It wasn’t when I was a child. Back then, it was open to the public, and I actually had visited once. So many years have passed in a flash.” The taxi driver lamented.

Soon after, the taxi driver stretched his neck to glance ahead and quickly reminded, ”Ahead, you’re about to enter someone’s private territory! I remind you all, you really won’t be able to go through!”

Until now, the taxi driver still didn’t believe Bai Xiaosheng’s claims.

This tale of being invited—who would believe it? Who do they think they are, Huaxia people invited by local nobility, they wouldn’t need a taxi then.

Surely these Huaxia tourists are playing ’smart tricks’, attempting to venture in to see if they can sneak in...

The taxi driver inwardly sneered.

Soon, you’ll be kicked out! And I won’t refund your fare, you’d have to hail my taxi back, and the fare will be another matter!

That brown-skinned taxi driver looked rather cunning.

Fortunately, he was merely a taxi driver, otherwise, he’d certainly be a profiteer...

Listening to the driver, Bai Xiaosheng and the two looked forward and saw a gatehouse with several armed security personnel guarding it.

Their taxi quickly got stopped as it approached.

The driver obediently parked the car, giving Bai Xiaosheng a helpless smile.

The meaning was clear; see, I told you wouldn’t be able to enter.

Bai Xiaosheng maintained a calm expression.

Because he had already seen a familiar figure approaching alongside the security personnel—it was Daisy.

Bai Xiaosheng lowered one side of the window, and Daisy, upon seeing him, whispered to the security personnel then came up to politely smile at Bai Xiaosheng.

Due to the presence of others, Daisy couldn’t act too familiar but was exceptionally polite, ”Mr. Bai, and the two of you, I apologize, you’ll need to switch to another vehicle to enter. The guards won’t allow taxis. We’ve prepared a courtesy car over there. Please follow. Mr. Meifu is waiting inside.”

Listening to the woman dressed as a maid of Andeliao Castle speaking, the taxi driver froze on the spot, incredibly looking at Bai Xiaosheng and the two.

They really were invited! By the castle owner Mr. Meifu?!

Never heard of anyone being invited here while, while taking a taxi!

The taxi driver was simply dumbfounded.

Bai Xiaosheng responded with a nod, turned and smiled at the taxi driver, ”Thank you for your effort, we’ll get out here.”

The taxi driver stiffly nodded.

He watched Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying disembark and follow Daisy inside.

As the taxi driver gazed at Bai Xiaosheng’s group walking away, he still found it hard to believe until the security personnel shooed him away, and he then quickly turned the steering wheel and drove off.

However, on the way back, the taxi driver couldn’t resist using the radio to brag.

After all, such encounters are exceedingly rare.

”Hey, Ayuo, it’s me again, today I picked up several Huaxia people, not two but three! And you might not believe it, they handed me big money and asked to be taken to Andeliao Castle, claiming to be guests there! Ha...don’t you dare doubt, this is true, I absolutely absolutely did not embellish your story, nor am I lying!”

...

Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying rode the car arranged by the castle, journeying inside where the scenery was even more beautiful than outside.

Since the driver was present, Daisy didn’t say much to Bai Xiaosheng and the others but had a smile in her eyes.

Meanwhile, in a high room at Andeliao Castle, a figure stood by the window, gazing at the approaching car with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

It was Meifu.

”Have they arrived?” Meifu muttered, addressing NO.2 behind him without turning his head, ”I’ll meet with them first, don’t be too hasty to show yourself, you’re my trump card!”

NO.2 sneered at this, ”Mr. Meifu, you really have a wicked sense of humor!”

”But I like it!”
