Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2200: Chapter 1675: Caroline’s Decision

Vice Chairman Morgan hadn’t finished his cup of coffee before he had to leave. Drinking coffee was never the goal; conversation was. Once the words were spoken, there was no need to stay any longer.

After all, Vice Chairman Morgan is quite busy.

Seeing that Vice Chairman Morgan was about to leave, Miss Caroline hurriedly stood up to see him off.

”You don’t need to see me out, your intention is enough. There are many eyes here, I prefer to leave on my own.” Vice Chairman Morgan said with a smile.

This was plainly spoken, not merely out of courtesy. Familiar with Vice Chairman Morgan’s nature, Miss Caroline complied, accompanying him only to the door.

Vice Chairman Morgan gave her a smile, opened the door, and left alone.

Two minutes later, the door was pushed open from the outside, and the male assistant with gold-rimmed glasses poked his head in. Upon seeing Miss Caroline, he said respectfully, ”Miss Caroline, Vice Chairman Morgan has already left.”

Miss Caroline nodded slightly and instructed, ”You all wait outside for now; I need some quiet time alone.”

”Yes.” The male assistant promptly responded respectfully, withdrew, and closed the door behind him.

Miss Caroline turned back to her seat and sat down, picked up the still warm coffee, and sipped slowly.

”Saying ’no rush, take your time,’ huh, how much of that was true?” Caroline sneered and muttered to herself.

The words of those in power sometimes need to be taken at face value, but sometimes one must consider if they are speaking in reverse.

”However, Morgan has indeed shown me some respect, after all, I’m not just another subordinate of his,” Caroline murmured again.

This is thanks to her increasingly powerful family, making Vice Chairman Morgan willing to offer some leniency.

Vice Chairman Morgan seems particularly concerned about Bai Xiaosheng and will eventually take action against him.

The purpose behind this is naturally to undermine Lu Cheng’an and Li Yunyuan, the Chinese vice chairmen, and seize power within the group.

Currently, Vice Chairman Morgan is granting Miss Caroline and her family some face, allowing them to establish cooperation with the Greater China Region first.

”The collaboration with Bai Xiaosheng really can’t be delayed any longer. I must seize the time!” Caroline said with focus, sipping her coffee.

After drinking most of the warm coffee, Caroline set down the cup and pressed the call button on the table.

The door was opened shortly after, and the same male assistant poked his head in and inquired respectfully, ”Miss Caroline, do you have any instructions?”

”Bring in all the assistants.” Miss Caroline instructed.

The male assistant immediately passed on the message, and then the assistants, male and female, filed in and stood in a row.

”Get the fifteenth draft of the contract, print it out for me to look over, and then we will finalize it here!” Caroline said.

The assistants seemed slightly surprised at her words.

Just earlier, Miss Caroline said that draft was scrapped and instructed them to rework it, yet now she wanted to finalize that version?!

Understand that Miss Caroline never goes back on her word once spoken; occurrences of her reversing decisions are incredibly rare.

”Why are you still standing there? I only have one hour to finalize the contract with you, get moving!” Caroline frowned and called out.

The assistants snapped back to reality and hurriedly got to work.

During the following hour, each assistant held a tablet in hand, surrounding Miss Caroline and recording with styluses.

Caroline flipped through the printed paper contract, sectioning it off and verifying the content with them.

One must admit that some people’s minds are naturally gifted, like Miss Caroline.

Her thoughts are clear and thorough, reactions lightning quick, directing not only general direction but also specifics down to individual clauses.

With a group of assistants aiding her, there seemed to be an overwhelming pace.

An hour later, Miss Caroline set down the paper contract she was holding and instructed, ”By tonight at eight, you must finish revising everything as I said, compile it all, and hand it to me!”

Miss Caroline continued, ”Next, I have two meetings and a presentation; split into two teams and take turns attending events with me. Those not attending events will work on the contract pertaining to their respective parts.”

The assistants swiftly agreed, not daring to hesitate or show signs of indecision.

In her work, Miss Caroline is never indecisive. Her set schedule is always just tight enough to keep them bustling yet not chaotic. No one can pinpoint why her grasp on time is so precise.

At this moment, Miss Caroline is too absorbed in contemplation to care about others’ fear.

When this version of the contract emerges, tomorrow I will go negotiate with Bai Xiaosheng and have it signed. I believe he won’t refuse me. The fifteenth version of the contract isn’t overly strict; I’ve eased some conditions. I trust he’s smart enough not to disappoint me! Caroline thought silently, her gaze gleaming slightly. ”Once we sign the contract and the cooperation is set in motion, how he behaves will be irrelevant to me!”

This isn’t an external corporation-to-corporation collaboration that could stop due to leadership conflicts. Within a single large group framework, once cooperation starts, unless there are severe issues, termination is unlikely. Otherwise, high-level management would inquire, Bai Xiaosheng may still be the deputy in the headquarters’ inspection department, but he couldn’t bear the consequences!

Moreover, if something against Bai Xiaosheng occurs, I’ll just hide behind Vice Chairman Morgan and support him; no need to be at the forefront. If Bai Xiaosheng bears any grudge, he can direct it at Vice Chairman Morgan, not me.

A faint, discreet cold smile curved the corners of Caroline’s lips.

Following that, Caroline led the crowd out of the coffee shop, busy and bustling.

Attending meetings, giving presentations, canvassing for votes, while managing her duties within the group.

It’s fair to say that calling her a strong woman isn’t enough; she’s like a tireless machine, and her processor is a genuine eight-core type.

At eight o’clock in the evening, after completing all her tasks, Caroline took a car home, receiving the contract she needed.

The revised content made her feel it was barely satisfactory.

At this point, there’s no time to recreate it from scratch, it’s sufficient as is.

Caroline once more checked the content to ensure its accuracy before making a call to Bai Xiaosheng.

After a few rings, Bai Xiaosheng answered from the other side.

”Is it Miss Caroline?” Bai Xiaosheng’s voice sounded courteous.

”It’s me.” Caroline replied with a smile, ”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, it’s been a few days since we last contacted, things have indeed been busy here. Luckily, the contract for our cooperation has been drafted. Let’s arrange a meeting to finalize and sign it.”

”Oh, when?” Bai Xiaosheng inquired over the phone.

Caroline immediately suggested, ”How about tomorrow? I have time at ten in the morning!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng hesitated slightly, ”Tomorrow morning at ten?”

”Is there anything inconvenient for you, Mr. Bai?” Caroline asked, frowning.

From the other end, Bai Xiaosheng hesitated and explained, ”Actually, at ten tomorrow morning, I have an appointment to sign with an external company of the group, the time and place have been set at Suger International Hotel.”

Caroline discerned the unusual tone in Bai Xiaosheng’s words and frowned.

Signing with an external company? Which one could it be?

However, would that collaboration compete with the Greater China Region’s needs, or would her cooperation be affected?

Suger International Hotel? Caroline was familiar with it.

After considering for a moment, Caroline decisively suggested, ”How about this, I am also passing by there tomorrow, I will go find you there, we can discuss the signing on the spot, how does that sound!”
