Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2202: Chapter 1677: The Time of the Meeting

Suger International Hotel is considered quite renowned in the Ganande hotel industry, ranking among the top ten.

Interestingly, it doesn’t primarily focus on accommodations but on business negotiations.

This hotel not only has well-equipped conference rooms of various sizes and specifications, but also various auditoriums, academic rooms, and even ”small coffee business lounges.”

These are essentially private rooms facing floor-to-ceiling windows located on the hotel’s top floor.

The glass material of those private rooms’ floor-to-ceiling windows is special; it ensures translucency while filtering dazzling light and ultraviolet rays, making sitting inside extremely comfortable with a broad view.

It’s said that conducting business here promotes an open and cheerful mindset, greatly increasing the success rate.

This leads many businessmen to favor collaborating here, with those small business lounges booking up yearly.

Of course, for the Taylor Clan, securing a room today is hardly challenging. They have their ways.

Around 9:50 am, Bai Xiaosheng, along with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, promptly met Taylor and Xiya at the hotel, thereafter heading to the booked small private room.

This time, Taylor brought a large entourage comprising lawyers, finance personnel, and assistants, numbering twenty to thirty. There’s a lounge next to the business private room where those people went. Just with a word, they’d provide any onsite calculations, drafting, and whatever else needed—a huge convenience.

Clearly, Clan Leader Taylor came thoroughly prepared this time, intending to resolve all entanglements with ”BL Technology” today.

Bai Xiaosheng fully agreed with this approach.

The funds arranged for the Taylor Clan were set to be transferred later in the afternoon, but for ”certainty,” Bai Xiaosheng had already transferred the first installment to the Taylor Clan this morning.

A neat figure of ten billion US Dollars.

Such a hefty sum is no small number, yet Bai Xiaosheng spoke about transferring it with such ease that it left Taylor astounded.

This young future boss is indeed imposing!

With this sum backing them, Clan Leader Taylor’s confidence has soared.

Currently, Bai Xiaosheng and Taylor were in this business lounge sipping coffee, waiting for the representative from ”BL Technology” to arrive.

By now, it was already five minutes past the scheduled time, and they hadn’t shown up yet. Presumably, they’ll be a bit late.

Some say Westerners have a strong sense of time, but that’s not entirely accurate, considering the vast range of countries in the West with varied customs.

Arriving early, on time, or late, nothing is fixed.

Moreover, in business, being late might be used as a strategic method to wear down the opponent’s patience and disrupt their confidence.

However, neither Bai Xiaosheng nor Taylor were bothered by this.

With a clear plan in mind, there was no panic.

Taking this opportunity, Bai Xiaosheng shared news with Taylor—

Caroline will also be coming!

”Though she might be late by half an hour to an hour,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

”Miss Caroline will also be joining!” Clan Leader Taylor and Xiya were both startled, looking at Bai Xiaosheng in surprise.

”BL Technology” belongs to Zhenbei Group, directly subordinate to Zhenbei Group’s North America region, and its direct person-in-charge is Caroline!

That lady is currently a popular candidate in the elections, her family significantly powerful, far surpassing the Taylor Family.

Learning that she’ll be attending, Taylor and his daughter couldn’t help but become tense.

”Sheng, did you invite Miss Caroline... to mediate at the negotiation?” Taylor asked.

Soon, Taylor frowned slightly, ”Then what’s her... stance on this matter?!”

Caroline’s status is special and her forceful nature leaves Taylor somewhat cautious and even anxious.

Upon learning their family was being targeted by ”BL Technology”, along with their background, Taylor wondered if Caroline was aware or perhaps involved, but without solid evidence, dared not speak rashly.

If she’s truly interested in the Taylor Family, then...

Taylor is quite concerned about whether Bai Xiaosheng, the executive director of the Greater China Region, can persuade the North America Region business director to relinquish their interest!

Taylor understands Zhenbei Group’s upper structure, where executive directors rank below business directors!

Will Caroline show Bai Xiaosheng any regard? It’s really hard to say!

If she doesn’t, what would Bai Xiaosheng do?

Will unexpected troubles arise when they’re seemingly extricated from their predicament?

Taylor momentarily worried again, and Xiya felt likewise.

Observing their concerns, Bai Xiaosheng offered a reassuring smile, ”Rest assured, Caroline is coming to discuss cooperation with me. It’s under the broader framework of Zhenbei Group, cooperation between our Greater China Region and their North America Region. As for whether she’s aware of the situation here or received news of my involvement, I can’t say for sure. But I believe there’s no problem.”

Despite Bai Xiaosheng’s optimism, Taylor and his daughter couldn’t find complete peace of mind.

The issues between their family and BL Technology, coupled with Bai Xiaosheng and Caroline’s collaboration, undoubtedly complicated the entire situation.

Hopefully, Caroline will refrain from intervening due to Bai Xiaosheng’s cooperation...

This is what Taylor and his daughter hoped for, finding it hard to let go of their concerns.

Bai Xiaosheng, seeing his reassurance wasn’t fully calming the father and daughter’s anxieties, also understood merely speaking wouldn’t dispel their worries easily. Moreover, he wasn’t certain if any unforeseen events might unfold.

Thus, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t continue to waste words persuading them.

His intention in informing them was to prevent Caroline’s arrival from causing panic and confusion.

Fortunately, both Taylor and Xiya weren’t ordinary figures. After briefly feeling anxious, they managed to regain composure.

Instead of worrying about potential crises, it’s better to focus on what needed to be done now.

Worrying unnecessarily is foolish.

At that moment, someone knocked on the business room’s door, drawing everyone’s gaze.

Upon Taylor’s vocal acknowledgment, someone opened the door and leaned in.

It turned out to be a secretary assigned by Taylor to wait outside.

”Mr. Taylor, Miss Ye Liena, the CEO of ’BL Technology’ has arrived,” the person reported.

Taylor exchanged a glance with Bai Xiaosheng, stood up, and called out, ”Please let Miss Ye Liena in!”

The secretary promptly nodded, opened the door, and courteously invited in the person outside.

Bai Xiaosheng and Taylor then saw two women, blond with blue eyes and tall, though in their late thirties, they looked impeccably maintained, more tender-skinned than young girls, both exuding an aura of longstanding high positions.

Following them were about twenty entourage members.

Taylor Clan Leader had encountered Ye Liena before and immediately stepped forward with a smile, ”Miss Ye Liena, so we meet again!”

”Clan Leader Taylor, long time no see!” Ye Liena smiled and entered the room with Melanie.

Those accompanying Ye Liena, needless to say, were guided to relax in the neighboring room by Taylor’s secretary.

The business room’s door was subsequently shut, isolating outside noise.

Seeing that Ye Liena’s companion Melanie seemed more of an equal than a subordinate, Taylor curiously asked, ”Who might this be?”

”She is Miss Caroline’s personal assistant, Melanie!” Ye Liena introduced with added emphasis.

Melanie’s identity linked to Caroline was introduced to intimidate this Clan Leader Taylor.

Ye Liena intended to inform him that someone influential like Caroline could be behind them, ensuring whatever plans he had, he must always keep in mind their connection!

Upon learning of Melanie’s identity, Clan Leader Taylor’s eyes briefly narrowed before regaining his usual composure.

Regardless of Caroline’s involvement today, her presence, or whether she appears, the Taylor Family was prepared to go all out and shake off their immense troubles!

Resolving himself, Taylor became a bit more composed, greeting Melanie with a smile, ”Ah, so it’s Miss Melanie, a pleasure to meet you!”

”Clan Leader Taylor, glad to meet you,” Melanie responded with an exceedingly polite smile.

Having been sent by Caroline, Melanie was there to assist Ye Liena with the task, revealing her identity only as a contingency measure against unexpected issues, unexpectedly used right from the start.

At this moment, Ye Liena’s gaze swept past those behind Taylor, not having seen Xiya before, yet knowing from attire she’s likely a close relative of the Taylor Clan, not a mere staff.

The sight of a burly figure and a Huaxia beauty also held her attention.

However, Bai Xiaosheng captured Ye Liena’s interest the most!

He was the only man casually seated in the entire room!

Ye Liena couldn’t resist frowning slightly.

Even upon her arrival, Taylor got up to greet her, yet why did this man sit so calmly!

Ye Liena scrutinized Bai Xiaosheng, who remained composed facing her, feeling increasingly frowning as she did.

Why did this man seem oddly familiar, as if... she’d seen him before!
