Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2310: Chapter 1752: New Allies

Jia Chengshan, with his status, actually used the words ”seek an audience” when asking Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to relay a message to Bai Xiaosheng. This was both due to the situation and a way to convey to Bai Xiaosheng a sense of lowering his status.

Lu Tiandao, Zhang Qinglin, and others were all moved when they heard this.

Jia Chengshan was kind of lowering himself for everyone’s sake, and they had to acknowledge this favor.

In doing so, Jia Chengshan was doing everyone a good turn, and invisibly helping their small team regain some cohesion.

Lin Weiwei politely asked everyone to wait for a moment and went inside to pass on the message.

The people behind Jia Chengshan had mixed feelings, thinking that Bai Xiaosheng knew they were coming and still had two of his subordinates guarding the door. What kind of thing was that!

This was called putting on a show!

In a while, Bai Xiaosheng might have his female secretary come out to ”escort” them in, which made everyone feel somewhat uncomfortable.

After all, they were considered figures of some importance. Even if they had made a mistake, they shouldn’t be subjected to such humiliation.

Many people couldn’t help but feel a bit of resentment towards Bai Xiaosheng in their hearts.

Not long after, Lin Weiwei came out.

Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaosheng followed right behind her.

Bai Xiaosheng, upon seeing everyone, quickly walked a few steps, with a smile on his face, speaking in an extremely polite tone, ”Ah, Mr. Jia, everyone! Why didn’t you give me a heads-up before coming, so I could personally come out to greet you! Look at this situation, keeping you all waiting outside, please come in quickly.”

Bai Xiaosheng was courteous, his demeanor humble, and even the most critical people couldn’t find fault with him.

The little resentment in everyone’s heart was unknowingly dissolved by him.

Even Jia Chengshan couldn’t help but sigh in his heart, this Bai Xiaosheng really understood human relations and gave them enough face!

Jia Chengshan smiled broadly, nodding politely to Bai Xiaosheng, ”We also came on short notice to disturb you!”

”How could it be a disturbance! Everyone, please come in!” As he spoke, Bai Xiaosheng warmly invited Jia Chengshan and others inside.

Everyone entered the small courtyard together and proceeded to the central hall, where they each took a seat on the sofas.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying served tea and snacks to everyone before they left.

In the living room, only Bai Xiaosheng, Jia Chengshan, and the others remained, without any outsiders, making it convenient to talk.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled as he picked up a teacup, saying to Jia Chengshan and others, ”This isn’t tea from the club, it’s a gift from a friend, quite rare. Everyone, have a taste.”

Jia Chengshan nodded and responded, raising his teacup to take a sip.

Lu Tiandao and Zhang Qinglin also followed suit and picked up their cups.

The others were restless, not in the mood to drink tea, holding their cups while looking expectantly at Jia Chengshan, waiting for him to start.

Jia Chengshan was truly patient, taking a sip of tea and then giving Bai Xiaosheng a nod and a smile, ”It’s indeed nice, this quality, probably worth a couple of gold for just a bit of tea leaf.”

”My friend said the same thing. I thought he was exaggerating, but it’s reassuring to hear Mr. Jia confirm the tea’s value!” Bai Xiaosheng laughed and said.

Seeing these two not talking about business and instead chatting about tea, someone couldn’t help but cough to remind Jia Chengshan.

As it turned out, more than one person had this in mind, including Lu Tiandao and Zhang Qinglin.

Several coughs sounded one after another, creating a rather odd atmosphere.

The coughing people couldn’t help but exchange startled glances, with eyes clearly saying, ”Why... are you coughing too...”

Jia Chengshan glanced at everyone and was speechless, thinking to himself, ”Why can’t these people be patient! Listen, they’re urging me.”

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, ”It seems the tea is too hot and choked everyone. Be careful, all of you.”

Everyone gave a couple of dry laughs to cover their embarrassment.

Zhang Qinglin couldn’t help but say, ”Mr. Bai, the tea is good, but we’re not in the mood to drink. To be frank, we’re here to ask for help...”

Lu Tiandao quickly pulled Zhang Qinglin aside, subtly.

Right now, Jia Chengshan was essentially everyone’s spokesperson, so it was best for him to bring up any issues. Zhang Qinglin’s interruption disrupted Jia Chengshan’s rhythm.

Originally, with Zhang Qinglin’s savvy, he wouldn’t have done this, but at the moment, the trouble on his end was the greatest, with the family business facing a potential chain-effect collapse.

It seemed that Old Zhang was truly anxious this time!

In fact, others were not without their own pressing issues, or they wouldn’t have hurriedly come as a group to find Bai Xiaosheng.

With Zhang Qinglin taking the lead, everyone else couldn’t hold back either and started chiming in.

”Indeed, let’s get down to business quickly.”

”The tea is good, but we’re not in the mood for it now!”

”Yes...”

With everyone talking all at once, Jia Chengshan was at a loss.

That’s what’s meant by ’concern leading to confusion’ and ’those involved losing their perspective’.”

Indeed, no matter how significant a person, when it comes to their own interests, even life and death, they can’t remain calm and collected.

”What is everyone saying?” Bai Xiaosheng asked with a surprised expression, smiling.

Zhang Qinglin couldn’t help wanting to speak, but Jia Chengshan coughed to stop him.

”Let me speak,” Jia Chengshan said with a more assertive tone to Zhang Qinglin.

Zhang Qinglin opened his mouth, noticing Jia Chengshan giving him a deep look, and finally closed his mouth.

Jia Chengshan let out a slight sigh and said to Bai Xiaosheng, ”Here’s the situation: not long ago, we received news that a business alliance led by the three major groups Tengyun, Beifeng, and Haoyu launched an offensive against our businesses. I won’t hide it from you, Mr. Bai; this is a big problem for us. It may not be a complete victory for them either, and if things go awry, it could lead to mutual destruction. As merchants say, peace brings prosperity. Mr. Lu Yun, Miss Dong Tianlu, and Mr. Wang Xuantian are all your friends, so we want to ask if you could mediate to prevent such intense business conflict.”
