Chapter 2533 - 1856: Before Setting Out Again
This time, Bai Xiaosheng quickly resolved the conflict between the business group members and the Yang Corporation and even made both parties continue their cooperation. It must be said, he did a splendid job.
The day after the incident was resolved, Hou Yuncheng came to see him, bringing praises from the upper leadership.
Hou Yuncheng appeared extremely pleased, praising Bai Xiaosheng profusely face to face.
Bai Xiaosheng kept humble, and by the end, he was slightly embarrassed.
"Director Hou, that’s enough! That’s enough! If you keep praising me, I’ll start getting a big head!" Bai Xiaosheng joked.
Hou Yuncheng laughed heartily and finally stopped.
Afterward, Hou Yuncheng advised Bai Xiaosheng, "This time, although the Yang Corporation had no choice but to yield temporarily, they’re certainly not pleased internally. No one can guarantee they won’t have any backhanded actions later on. I’ve heard from you about Yang Xiaoyun from the Yang Family, and he leaves quite an impression on you. That person is not simple, very cunning and ruthless. You must keep your guard up."
In response, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "Rest assured, we won’t provoke anyone, but we’ll fear no one. If they haven’t learned their lesson this time, they’re welcome to come to us. But next time, it won’t be as easy."
Bai Xiaosheng radiated immense confidence.
Hou Yuncheng nodded to Bai Xiaosheng, not continuing the topic, instead smiling and saying, "You’ve been delayed long enough in Aisha Emirate this time. The next stop needs to be hurried along. You’re one of the business group’s leaders, so it’s up to you to manage the upcoming itinerary."
"Alright," Bai Xiaosheng agreed.
"This time, we officials will go directly to the final stop and wait for you there, even though we’re not traveling with the group. But if you have any issues, feel free to contact us," Hou Yuncheng said solemnly to Bai Xiaosheng, "Sheng, remember, Huaxia will always be your strong backing!"
Bai Xiaosheng, upon hearing this, also nodded earnestly.
"Well, I’ve been here long enough, and it’s time for me to leave. My flight is in an hour," Hou Yuncheng said with a smile as he stood up.
"I’ll see you off!" Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly stood up and offered.
Hou Yuncheng did not refuse, but when Bai Xiaosheng walked him to the courtyard gate of his residence, he firmly made Bai Xiaosheng stop.
Before parting, Hou Yuncheng examined Bai Xiaosheng again, his gaze filled with advice and hope. Finally, he patted Bai Xiaosheng on the shoulder, without saying anything emotional, turned, and walked away.
Bai Xiaosheng watched Hou Yuncheng’s back, seeing him off.
After sending off Hou Yuncheng, Bai Xiaosheng returned to his room, instructing Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to pack their things.
In two hours, half of their business group would also set off for the next destination—Karan Chieftaincy.
As for what Hou Yuncheng mentioned, Bai Xiaosheng was to manage this trip himself, minimizing time while ensuring the effectiveness of the investigation. Bai Xiaosheng was already informed of this in advance and had considered it.
He planned to discuss it with the business group members while on the road.
Fortunately, Karan Chieftaincy is relatively small, about half the size of Aisha Emirate, and there aren’t many companies to investigate on this trip, allowing them to accelerate the inspection process.
After concluding the trip to Karan Chieftaincy, their next destination would be Oshan Chieftaincy, the largest and strongest country in the Western Chieftain Union, bar none.
The main business of the Yang Corporation and the residence of the Yang Family Clan are also located there.
However, as most of the contracts have been signed, their cooperation with them should not be extensive.
Just as Bai Xiaosheng was hurrying to pack and prepare to set off, a phone call came to him.
The caller was Mr. Brown.
Right from the start, Mr. Brown said straightforwardly, "Mr. Bai, I heard you had a conflict with the Yang Corporation?"
"Yes, but it’s all resolved now," Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile.
"Why didn’t you come to me then?" Mr. Brown’s tone on the call had a hint of dissatisfaction, "Don’t you trust me? If I had intervened, applying pressure from all sides, the Yang Family would have had to comply!"
Mr. Brown wasn’t exaggerating. Given his connections and capabilities in the African business community, he could indeed achieve that.
Since Mr. Brown and Bai Xiaosheng got to know each other following an initial conflict and eventually became allies, he had hoped to lend Bai Xiaosheng a hand.
Unexpectedly, when he learned of the situation, Bai Xiaosheng had already resolved the matter.
Therefore, this time, calling seemed not entirely from a cheerful heart.
Bai Xiaosheng also knew that Mr. Brown sincerely wanted to help him, and he laughed at that.
"Mr. Brown, the situation here is relatively special, to be precise, it isn’t entirely my own matter, so I didn’t want to trouble you. However, the issue has already been resolved, and the result isn’t too bad. Thank you for your concern!"
Bai Xiaosheng had to comfort this old gentleman.
Hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s sincere tone, Mr. Brown felt less displeased and said over the phone, "So that’s it for this time. If there’s a next time, make sure to reach me, and I’ll do my best to help you!"
With such a promise from Mr. Brown, Bai Xiaosheng undoubtedly felt grateful.
The two chatted amicably over the phone.
Meanwhile, in Ganande, America, Caroline was sitting with Vice Chairman Morgan, drinking coffee.
They were also discussing Bai Xiaosheng’s situation.
"By the time I learned about the matter, it was already over. If I had known earlier, I might have done something," Caroline said with a regretful tone while sipping coffee.
However, what Caroline meant by "done something" was not assistance like Mr. Brown but rather adding fuel to the fire.
If she had intervened, Bai Xiaosheng would certainly not have handled the situation as easily.
Because the connections of the Caroline Family in North America are in no way inferior to those of the Wei and Bai Families.
"I also heard some news," Vice Chairman Morgan said, stroking his beard, "That Bai Xiaosheng showed me his skills and influence. Ganande’s Wei and Bai Family both stepped in to help him, which is quite impressive."
Caroline laughed softly at this, lazily saying, "Naturally, Huaxia families will help Huaxia people. That doesn’t surprise me. Besides, Bai Xiaosheng is the man fancied by the Wei Family’s young lady. It’s certain they would assist him, and the Bai Family would give some face as well."
Vice Chairman Morgan glanced at Caroline, "Both families support Bai Xiaosheng... Yet you still think it’s worth taking action against him?"
Not overly afraid of those two Huaxia families, but avoiding conflicts of interest is best.
Vice Chairman Morgan was reassessing Bai Xiaosheng.
Caroline elegantly took a sip of coffee and calmly replied, "Do you think if we had a real conflict with Bai Xiaosheng, because of one Bai Xiaosheng, the Wei and Bai Families would risk their family business to go head-to-head with us!"
If put that way...
Vice Chairman Morgan shook his head, "Whether in the East or the West, in the face of family interests, individuals are always insignificant, especially when it comes to an outsider."
"So, no need to be overly concerned," Caroline put down the cup, sneering coldly.
Bai Xiaosheng, who caused her to forever lose the qualification to enter politics and suffer significant losses, must be avenged, even at the cost of some family interests!
Vice Chairman Morgan examined Caroline, suddenly asking, "Regarding Bai Xiaosheng’s conflict with the West African Yang Family, you’re informed too late to intervene, but with your character, will you just view it as a spectacle?"
Vice Chairman Morgan’s words carried hidden meaning.
Caroline smiled meaningfully and said, "Who knows, guess you can speculate a bit."
