157: Chapter 157 Unexpected Guest_1 157: Chapter 157 Unexpected Guest_1 Having seen off Xie Youxin, Bai Xiaosheng played with the two jade bracelets for a while.
The bracelets were a rich and vibrant green, crystal clear throughout, with a smooth and delicate touch.
Bai Xiaosheng had previously seen a video online about how to process the bottom of a thick green glass bottle into a bracelet, a “glass jadeite,” claiming it could easily pass for the real thing.
He had not seen that kind of fake in person, but holding the genuine item in his hands, he knew it could only deceive those who had never seen the real thing.
The weight, symtry, and the aesthetic appeal of the jadeite were impeccable.
When Xie Youxin was there, Bai Xiaosheng had also conducted so tests with Red Lotus and confird without a doubt that these were genuine products!
The Glass-Type Imperial Green jade could certainly be a family heirloom, or perhaps…
a token of commitnt in a romantic relationship.
For these two jade bracelets, Bai Xiaosheng had already decided—one would be given to his mother when he found ti to go ho.
And the other, if possible, would be gifted to a certain soone as a token of commitnt!
Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but glance at a wall in his apartnt; behind that wall was Wei Xuelian’s room.
He was quite fond of that girl and felt that she had feelings for him too, especially after they had visited the Lu Family.
However, he also couldn’t decide if it was the right ti to confess his feelings.
If he failed, he wondered if they would even be able to remain friends…
At the thought of this, the usually confident Bai Xiaosheng actually felt a touch of nervousness, even a faint sense of fear.
“What am I afraid of!”
“If you like soone, confess your feelings.
For a lovely lady, a gentleman makes a good match.”
“As the future president of Zhenbei Group, the helmsman of a trillion-yuan conglorate, do I not have the courage…”
Bai Xiaosheng took a deep breath, thinking to date a bit longer, then confess!
To calm his mind, Bai Xiaosheng got up and locked the safety box, along with everything else, in the safe of the inner room.
The safe provided by the apartnt was originally A1-grade, but since Bai Xiaosheng planned to live there long term, he specifically asked them to replace it with a B-grade one, for which he paid extra money.
Just as he had finished locking everything up, soone knocked on Bai Xiaosheng’s door.
“Who is it?” Bai Xiaosheng frowned and called out.
“Is Mr.
Bai Xiaosheng there?” A strange man’s voice ca from outside the door.
Could it be that as soon as the items were delivered, they had attracted thieves?
Bai Xiaosheng thought, and then shook his head.
Xie Youxin was a man with boundaries; furthermore, if he had wanted to keep the goods for himself, he would have already run off.
To have them delivered and then send soone to rob them?
That certainly wouldn’t happen on the sa day.
As for the possibility of a leak of information, leading soone to follow him—was that likely, given Xie Youxin’s alert and cunning nature?
So who was it outside?
Bai Xiaosheng beca cautious but didn’t succumb to paranoia; it might be the property managent.
If it was a thief, with the combat skills granted by Red Lotus, he truly wasn’t afraid.
Bai Xiaosheng peered outside through the peephole.
There stood two people at the door: one was broad and robust; the other was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties, poised and distinguished, with a square face.
If they had co to rob him and were of such an age, dressed in suits, then Bai Xiaosheng really wasn’t afraid.
Opening the door, Bai Xiaosheng looked at the two n with suspicion.
“Are you looking for ?”
“You’re Bai Xiaosheng?” The square-faced man behind the burly man glanced at him with a flicker in his eyes and asked.
“Yes.”
“May I co in and talk?” The square-faced man looked at the robust man, “You stay outside!”
With a word,
The muscular man respectfully answered and stood by the door with his hands behind his back.
“Then co in.” Bai Xiaosheng, curious about the man’s origins, let him in.
As for the person outside, Bai Xiaosheng locked the door from the inside.
This square-faced middle-aged man posed almost no threat, and Bai Xiaosheng sensed from him an aura similar to that of Shang Wenshu and Wang Ye, yet sowhat stronger.
Bai Xiaosheng invited him to sit on the sofa in the living room and poured him a cup of tea.
The square-faced man watched him calmly.
Once Bai Xiaosheng had finished, the man said to him with a slight smile, “Let introduce myself.
I am Sun Xiangdong from Xiangdong Group.”
Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback.
Xiangdong Group, Sun Xiangdong?
“Xiangdong Group, the true leader of the real estate sector in Tiannan City, involved in construction and building materials among various fields, a privately-owned enterprise.
Sun Xiangdong, chairman of Xiangdong Group…” Red Lotus swiftly imprinted the information in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.
Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but take a deep breath.
Xiangdong Group and Century Construction had been rivals for many years.
This Sun Xiangdong, at first glance seed to be at the sa level as Shang Wenshu, but in reality, he was much more formidable.
He was self-made, and the entire enterprise was his.
It could be said that for major enterprise affairs, Shang Wenshu had to report upwards, while Sun Xiangdong had complete autonomy.
This was the difference.
But what was Sun Xiangdong doing here?
“May I ask why Manager Sun has sought out?” inquired Bai Xiaosheng.
Sun Xiangdong looked at him calmly and said, “Manager Bai is in charge of the core projects of Century Construction.
Strictly speaking, it’s not appropriate for us to be in contact.
I’m not here for business matters.”
Bai Xiaosheng was slightly surprised.
Since it wasn’t a business matter, there should be even less intersection between them.
“I’m not just the boss of Xiang Dong, I am also the son of Sun Tianli and the father of Sun Yiran!” Sun Xiangdong said with a smile.
In an instant, Bai Xiaosheng understood.
This was a case of bullying the junior and now the senior appeared!
No, it was the younger generation who had been bullied, and now it was the turn of the middle generation.
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, lowered his head to pour himself a cup of tea, and held it steadily in his hand, sipping from it.
“So, Manager Sun has co here to seek accountability.
Is it just because I won against your son in a bet on stones?
Or because I offended Mr.
Sun’s dignity?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.
Composed, dignified, neither humble nor arrogant!
This was Sun Xiangdong’s assessnt of Bai Xiaosheng, and he too was astonished.
This young man, so steady, would surely achieve great things in the future!
Sun Xiangdong prided himself on his people-judging skills, and he doubted he was as unflappable at this age as this young man.
“I’ve co to see what kind of person Mr.
Bai is,” said Sun Xiangdong with a smile.
“People are different, so are the ways I treat them.
However…
my requests are all the sa!”
“Oh?”
“To be honest, there have been three generations of only sons in the Sun family, each one spoiled.
Even I was no better than Yiran before middle age.
Ah, who hasn’t been young?” Sun Xiangdong said understandingly.
Bai Xiaosheng was sowhat taken aback, even hearing him let out a long sigh, “It is not easy being a parent.”
Bai Xiaosheng nodded in agreent.
“Therefore, please be understanding, Mr Bai,” Sun Xiangdong said earnestly.
“Consider the feelings of a father and go in person to apologize to Yiran.”
If it weren’t for that last sentence, Bai Xiaosheng might have believed that Sun Xiangdong was reasonable.
To apologize!
Bai Xiaosheng’s brows furrowed deeply.
“I ca not to discuss but to inform, and I would prefer to take you back now.
Mr.
Bai, could you understand?” said Sun Xiangdong in a cultured tone.
This family must all be fucking nuts!
Bai Xiaosheng was speechless.
“I won’t see you out!” Bai Xiaosheng slowly stood up and said coldly.
“Is that your answer?” Sun Xiangdong smiled gently and then his gaze sharpened like a knife, “Bai Xiaosheng!”
