Bai Xiaosheng’s "apologetic" words imdiately made Lin Tianyi sit up straight, and he beca tense.
As expected, Hong Chengtian had indeed connected with Bai Xiaosheng behind his back!
Though both Hong Chengtian and Bai Xiaosheng tried their best to "conceal" it, the fact that they had each other’s contact information said it all!
Was Hong Chengtian thinking about expanding the cooperation?
At the thought of this, Lin Tianyi suddenly felt an invisible pressure, as if it was pressing on him from all directions.
The pressure was imnse!
"Really, my brother Hong... is in such a hurry!" Lin Tianyi forced a smile and said, "I heard about the collaboration between you two, hasn’t it just begun? How co... you want to expand the cooperation now?!"
Even though Lin Tianyi’s speech wasn’t hesitant, the brief "pauses for breath" didn’t escape Bai Xiaosheng’s ears.
Faced with Lin Tianyi’s probing, Bai Xiaosheng pretended to be confused, "Yes, I’m puzzled too, he suddenly called about expanding the cooperation."
Lin Tianyi’s hand holding the phone imdiately showed blue veins.
Suddenly?
Could it be that old Hong sensed sothing from !
I just set up the cooperation frawork, and old Hong is beating to it?
How can I be willing to let that happen!
"The terms Mr. Hong Chengtian offered are very generous, even my subordinate, Chengnan, is having a hard ti holding back. So, we’re very interested in expanding the cooperation, but I never expected that because of Mr. Lin’s invitation, I’d co over here and haven’t even reached an agreent with Mr. Lin, yet I have to sign with Mr. Hong first. They say the Lin and Hong families are like one big family, so I think you’d be happy to hear this news. Just, please understand if I show up a little late for your banquet, Mr. Lin."
Bai Xiaosheng spoke "patiently."
"Yes, we’re like family, our two families... as close as one." Lin Tianyi’s voice was unaffected.
However, Lin Tianyi himself was staring at the computer screen, his gaze flickering, and he seed to make a certain decision.
"Since you understand, Mr. Lin, I’ll hang up now," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.
Even if Lin Tianyi was extrely restrained, Bai Xiaosheng could still detect that subtle hint of surprise and anger in his voice that ordinary people couldn’t discern.
Being able to master the skills of micro-expression analysis and voice emotion detection, Bai Xiaosheng found them incredibly convenient.
"Wait!" Just as Bai Xiaosheng was about to hang up, Lin Tianyi hurriedly stopped him, "I have sothing to discuss with Mr. Sheng. I wanted to call you earlier!"
"Oh?" Bai Xiaosheng feigned surprise in his voice, "Mr. Lin, what’s the matter?"
"It’s like this, I have a cooperation frawork here, about the collaboration between our two sides. I’d like to invite you over to take a look, so we can discuss it. If we can reach an agreent, we can announce it at tonight’s banquet! The first banquet you attend at the Lin family would be to celebrate our cooperation. Wouldn’t that be wonderful!" said Lin Tianyi.
It’s finally happening!
Bai Xiaosheng silently smiled on the other end of the phone.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also heard so of it, and they exchanged a knowing glance with a smile.
Bai Xiaosheng’s provocation was strong enough; Lin Tianyi couldn’t hold it anymore!
That’s excellent!
If Lin Tianyi wants to quickly sign the contract, he’ll have to offer sufficient benefits!
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying naturally understood this point.
"But the Hong family..." Bai Xiaosheng feigned so hesitation over the phone.
"It won’t affect it. I’ve got everything ready here. Mr. Sheng, just co over and have a look. It won’t delay your eting with brother Hong. Don’t worry, if brother Hong has any complaints, you can have him talk to !" Lin Tianyi reassured Bai Xiaosheng.
"Well, all right then! After all, I ca to Xianggang because of your Lin family’s invitation, so I’ll head over now!" Bai Xiaosheng agreed.
"Great, great!" Lin Tianyi was undoubtedly delighted, though he kept his tone contained.
After hanging up, the three of Bai Xiaosheng exchanged looks and laughed together.
At this mont, Lin Tianyi, having let out a breath, didn’t have ti to ponder if Bai Xiaosheng had "played" him. He was staring at the computer screen again, frowning.
Ti was tight, and he needed to revise the docunt!
The concessions offered were clearly still not enough...
"My brother Hong, this ti you’re really... but I’ll make sure to get ahead of you!" Lin Tianyi secretly resolved.
About an hour later, Bai Xiaosheng once again visited the Lin family. As he declined Lin Tianyi’s offer to send a car to pick them up over the phone, they took a taxi this ti.
On the way, the taxi driver, upon learning that Bai Xiaosheng and his group were heading to the Lin family, was quite surprised and ntioned that he could only take them as far as the Lin family’s gate. Beyond that point, strangers weren’t allowed in.
Lin Weiwei smiled and assured the driver to just drive in, as the Lin family would grant them access.
This made the taxi driver take a few more curious glances at the trio.
As expected, at the entrance to the Lin family’s "gate" at the foot of the mountain, the taxi was stopped.
However, after Lin Weiwei ntioned Bai Xiaosheng’s na, the gatekeeper verified it and respectfully invited Bai Xiaosheng to switch to a luxurious business car worth millions for a more comfortable ride. Lin Weiwei inquired if they could continue in the taxi, and gracefully declined on Bai Xiaosheng’s behalf.
The taxi continued driving in, with the expensive car leading the way and another identical one trailing behind as an escort, all the way until they were well inside the estate.
This sight excited the taxi driver imnsely, and he frequently glanced at Bai Xiaosheng seated in the back through the rear-view mirror.
Facing this mysterious and exceptionally young passenger, the taxi driver imagined nurous "legendary" stories in his mind.
