Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2143: Chapter 1634: If You Can Defeat Him

Bai Xiaosheng saw Cooper coming, and became curious about the ”second reason” for the grand banquet that Jessica had deliberately concealed. He asked York, the ”little encyclopedia” beside him.

This York had said a lot earlier, but others could not verify the truth of his words.

But Bai Xiaosheng could determine the credibility of his words through micro-expressions.

When York heard Bai Xiaosheng asking about Cooper, and seeing that Cooper had already arrived, he quickly shook his head and lowered his voice, saying, ”Brother, it’s not wise to say too much here! It’s very impolite to talk about Mr. Cooper at his banquet!”

After saying this, York looked at Bai Xiaosheng, hoping he would ”understand.”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at him with a half-smile, not pushing further or speaking.

”If you don’t know, just say you don’t know, don’t find excuses.” Lei Ying glanced at his wine glass and said casually.

The implication was clear, and York couldn’t help but frown.

Lin Weiwei also frowned and said with a mocking smile, ”Mr. York, do you not know or are you just too afraid to say? I didn’t expect you to be so cautious—”

Lin Weiwei drew out her words, her tone full of sarcasm.

York immediately wanted to defend himself.

”Hey, don’t talk like that!” Bai Xiaosheng seemed to be about to refute Lin Weiwei, but then he said, ”Everyone knows about Mr. Cooper. Mr. York feels that making things up about this matter would easily be seen through by us.”

The implication was that York’s fabrications about others wouldn’t be easily discovered.

The implication was that everything York had just said was untrustworthy.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled kindly at York, ”Just pretend I never asked.”

Those words and that expression from Bai Xiaosheng were nothing short of ruthless.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying cooperated, giving York a mocking glance.

York suddenly ”exploded.”

”Who says I don’t know? Of course I know!” York exclaimed in a low voice, ”This banquet is so grand for a reason. Only a handful here know it, including me! Now, I’ll let you in on it!”

”First, Mr. Cooper has been favored by the family and attained control over the family’s most important business—the pharmaceutical business!”

”Secondly, Mr. Cooper intends to publicly...”

What York said before was trivial, but the last sentence left Bai Xiaosheng and the others stunned.

Then, the three of them began to look for Bai Yuefeng with their eyes.

Whether that girl realized it or not...

At this moment, Bai Yuefeng had already been pulled over by Jessica and was surrounded by many people, with no time to spare.

Though the three saw her, they knew they might not even get close to her if they tried to squeeze through.

After York finished speaking, he felt relieved.

However, seeing Bai Xiaosheng and the others looking over at Bai Yuefeng, and realizing they were brought by Bai Yuefeng, York’s face changed slightly.

He felt like he had been a bit too quick to speak this time.

”You guys must not leak this early, definitely don’t ruin Mr. Cooper’s plan! And definitely don’t say it was me who told you!” York nervously glanced left and right, exhorting Bai Xiaosheng and the others with concern.

Bai Xiaosheng shrugged, looked at York, and pointed to Bai Yuefeng, ”Even if we wanted to tell Miss Bai, see, can we get there? Besides...”

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Cooper over there and muttered, ”Do you think Mr. Cooper would wait until the end of this banquet to do what he plans? He will definitely announce it before any changes can occur!”

While they were talking, Cooper had already respectfully invited the VIPs to everyone’s presence.

”Turned out the elders from the Cooper family are here to attend this kind of birthday banquet, indeed VIPs.” York stretched his neck to look, muttering to himself.

As Bai Xiaosheng looked over, Cooper had already picked up a microphone and gently tapped it twice.

The venue quickly quieted down.

Holding the microphone, Cooper swept his gaze around and began to speak with a smile, ”Thank you all for honoring me with your presence at my birthday banquet!”

Then, Cooper respectfully signaled to the VIPs beside him, showing them to everyone, ”Special thanks to the elders from my family for coming, which is a tremendous honor for me.”

Beside Cooper, two elderly men nodded with smiles.

”The main purpose of today’s banquet is to gather everyone to strengthen our connections,” Cooper smiled, ”and also to share some news about myself.”

The crowd immediately focused their attention on him.

”Thanks to the family’s love!” Cooper’s expression was both serious and proud, ”A few days ago, the family decided to entrust me with the core business of Clark Pharmaceutical Group!”

Cooper’s words caused an uproar throughout the audience.

”Clark Pharmaceutical Group, isn’t that one of the top ten pharmaceutical groups in North America!”

”Has it already been handed over to Mr. Cooper? Unbelievable!”

”Clark Pharmaceutical Group’s ranking in North America is not just in the top ten, that was two years ago, I’d estimate this year it ranks in the top five!”

”Incredible, Mr. Cooper is so young to take on such a heavy burden!”

Among the crowd, the discussions were endless, full of amazement.

Yet Bai Xiaosheng caught some key information. Cooper mentioned that the ”core business” of Clark Pharmaceutical Group was entrusted to him, not the entire management.

However, the crowd naturally assumed Cooper had full control over the entire company.

Is this to build his reputation, using external voices to influence the family’s decision?

Bai Xiaosheng pondered, looking at the two elders beside Cooper.

He thought they must be among the family members supporting Cooper, invited to confuse the public.

Imagine, having the elders already present to tacitly approve Cooper’s public announcement, the convincing effect would surely be significant.

Sometimes, thinking about it, these family heirs end up living out their lives like the main characters in palace dramas, always calculating, and they’re quite capable.

Over there, Cooper continued loudly, ”Every guest here is either well-connected or highly regarded, and I hope you can help spread the word and provide opportunities for collaboration. I will surely not let you leave empty-handed.”

This guy invited so many stars, probably aiming for this kind of ”unadvertised advertisement” purpose too.

Bai Xiaosheng suddenly found himself admiring him a bit.

As long as the outside world acknowledges Cooper, the family will be somewhat influenced. At the very least, as long as he doesn’t make huge mistakes, Cooper will become the family’s inevitable choice.

Now, he’s probably going to talk about that second matter. Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but squint his eyes slightly.

Bringing up that matter in such a setting, is Cooper brave and romantic, or just recklessly impulsive?

Just as Bai Xiaosheng was thinking, Cooper emotionally said, ”Today is the most important birthday of my life. On this day, I’m making a decision that may be reckless, or immature, but I still hope all my friends and elders can witness it and allow me to express my infatuation.”

As he spoke, Cooper raised his hand.

Romantic music suddenly played, the whole venue darkened, a spotlight shone straight down, enveloping Bai Yuefeng, followed by a flurry of petals.

In another spotlight, Cooper looked at Bai Yuefeng with emotion, loudly declaring, ”Miss Bai Yuefeng, I have long admired you. Now, I formally, in front of everyone, express my love for you!”

In the darkness, the entire venue was in an uproar, many women screaming.

It was so romantic, such a handsome, wealthy, and talented young man openly expressing his love, many women around couldn’t handle it.

”Say yes!” Jessica suddenly shouted.

The group of moved women scrambled to shout, ”Say yes!”

Even the men present began to shout.

This kind of group emotion can significantly influence a person’s decision.

In the darkness, Bai Xiaosheng watched Bai Yuefeng, his eyes calm.

In the end, Cooper took Bai Yuefeng as an ordinary woman, unaware that she was also a ”heroine” who could achieve anything!

Sure enough, after a period of astonishment and daze, Bai Yuefeng suddenly smiled and reached for the microphone.

Someone had already prepared it and handed it over.

Bai Yuefeng tapped the microphone, and the echo quieted the entire venue.

Cooper watched Bai Yuefeng with eager eyes.

Bai Yuefeng did not look at him, smiling at everyone, saying, ”I very much appreciate everything Mr. Cooper has done for me, but whether I can date him requires some testing. The man I fancy must be truly exceptional, surpassing all others.”

Bai Yuefeng glanced in Bai Xiaosheng’s direction briefly, then looked at Cooper and said, ”So, Mr. Cooper, I will find someone to compete with you in talent, knowledge, ability, anything. If you can completely beat him, I will consider dating you!”
