Chapter 2128: Chapter 1620: Not Going to Work Today
Bai Xiaosheng never expected that the North Arican regional director of Zhenbei Group, Miss Caroline, was actually one of the major shareholders of Ambray Company.
But, this is not surprising.
Many of Zhenbei Group’s executives co from prestigious families, and their family businesses are quite significant. They can even hold titles outside, as the group has allowed this since its inception and even encouraged them to channel their resources to cooperate with the group, provided it does not harm the group’s interests and they fulfill their responsibilities.
Such openness is rare in the world.
This might also be one of the reasons why Zhenbei Group has rapidly established a foothold globally in just a few decades, becoming a world-class giant.
Great tolerance leads to greatness.
However, in recent years, this model has shown its drawbacks. After all, people are not saints and will have selfish desires.
Especially today, as founder Bai Zhenbei inexplicably retires. Of course, although there are shortcomings, this phenonon has not yet been banned.
At this mont, as Ma Weiqian informs Bai Xiaosheng about his boss’s identity, he also closely observes Bai Xiaosheng’s reaction.
Miss Caroline has quite a reputation and appears often in public. Not only is she the President of Zhenbei Group’s North Arica operations, her family’s business is involved in many areas, and she is participating in this year’s local elections. Anyone who is slightly high-level in the business world has heard her na.
To Ma Weiqian, Bai Xiaosheng’s friend’s company being spotted by Cui Chen shows that his level should not be low.
Ma Weiqian believes Bai Xiaosheng will know Miss Caroline’s reputation.
Sure enough.
Ma Weiqian sees the look of surprise on Bai Xiaosheng’s face, knowing that Bai Xiaosheng is aware of what a presence Miss Caroline is, and he becos even more pleased and looks at Bai Xiaosheng with a mysterious smile.
“I really didn’t expect that one of Ambray’s major shareholders is Miss Caroline,” Bai Xiaosheng sighed.
Then it would seem a bit inappropriate for him to interfere in the matter with Cui Chen.
The eting between the two parties inevitably has a bit of awkwardness.
At this mont, Ma Weiqian is inwardly coldly laughing—
This Bai really keeps his composure, actually not showing any emotion of fear.
Offending Miss Caroline in Ganande will surely create many waves in business!
“So, Mr. Bai might consider my suggestion, help win back Mr. Cui Chen’s attention!” Ma Weiqian warmly offers a business card, “Mr. Bai doesn’t need to decide imdiately; think it over and call .”
With a deeper aning, Ma Weiqian says, “If you truly facilitate this cooperation, I believe what you gain will not only be monetary rewards!”
There are also business connections!
Of course, Ma Weiqian doesn’t explicitly say this last part. He actually can’t promise it, or rather, he can’t offer anything himself.
Ma Weiqian flaunting the title of major shareholder was exactly a case of fake grandeur.
He thinks Bai Xiaosheng, being business-savvy, would surely be eager for connections, let alone soone of Miss Caroline’s stature.
According to Ma Weiqian, Bai Xiaosheng would definitely be eager to connect with Miss Caroline.
The current calmness is just feigned!
However, Ma Weiqian is not in a hurry for Bai Xiaosheng to make a decision and even ntions he could call him later.
Ma Weiqian aims to “negotiate the price down.”
After all, he just shouted out a sky-high price of two million US Dollars. Surely he doesn’t really intend to give such a large sum; he’s not insane.
If Bai Xiaosheng considers the possible value of connections, naturally he’ll cut the price, or even… might have to pay him!
Regarding such matters, Ma Weiqian’s mind works fast, practically a real eight-core.
“Sure.” Bai Xiaosheng raises the business card with a light smile.
Bai Xiaosheng naturally doesn’t need to explain much to soone like Ma Weiqian, even if he tells him they are on the sa level as Caroline, he probably wouldn’t believe it.
Seeing that the words were said, Ma Weiqian chuckles, waves to Xu over there, nods to Bai Xiaosheng, and then leaves.
After he leaves, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying catch up.
“Xiaosheng, what did Ma Weiqian say to you?” Lin Weiwei inevitably asks curiously.
Bai Xiaosheng raises the business card in his hand and briefly tells them the dialogue just now.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying are also quite shocked.
“Miss Caroline is unexpectedly a major shareholder behind Ambray?”
“Does that an we undercut her?”
To this, Bai Xiaosheng just chuckles lightly, “It’s not that serious. I believe one Ambray is far from the entirety of Miss Caroline’s family business. Moreover, I’m not only her colleague at the sa level; what I can bring her and her family in the future will far exceed the benefits of one Cui Chen. For this reason, she’ll have to be courteous to .”
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying understand Bai Xiaosheng’s words and smile instantly.
“Let’s go.” Bai Xiaosheng strides forward.
“Going to headquarters?” Lin Weiwei follows and asks.
“No, not going to work today, going to visit friends.” Bai Xiaosheng answers.
In Ganande, they still have friends—Sun Jierui and Little Emma. Last ti they ca, they stayed at Sun Jierui’s place.
However, when Bai Xiaosheng and his companions drive over, they find no one at Sun Jierui’s ho. According to neighbors, the Sun family had gone on a trip to Europe.
Having found no one, Bai Xiaosheng and the others have no choice but to first find a place to stay in the city.
After a busy journey, Bai Xiaosheng was feeling lazy, not wanting to go to headquarters for socializing, so he decides to give himself a day off.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying naturally agree.
In fact, Bai Xiaosheng is still thinking about visiting the Wei Family. However, the Zisha wares he commissioned from Li Ni haven’t been delivered, so visiting empty-handed doesn’t seem right, and he plans to visit once the items arrive.
They enter the hotel, finish check-in, and settle their belongings. The three go to the hotel cafe to rest.
In the bright and clean environnt, with two-ter high floor-to-ceiling windows, sitting on the wide and comfortable sofa, drinking freshly brewed coffee, overlooking the skyscrapers of Ganande, this is life at its most pleasant.
All three were quite satisfied.
At this ti, an Asian-faced waiter cos over, smiling broadly, and asks Bai Xiaosheng, “Excuse , are you local Chinese or from Huaxia?”
Bai Xiaosheng and his companions look at him in surprise, not understanding why he asks this.
The waiter imdiately explains with a smile, “Today is the Chinatown event day in Ganande. Chinese and Chinese-Arican people visiting there for shopping will enjoy great discounts and offers, and our local Chinese will also act as promoters.”
While speaking, the waiter hands Bai Xiaosheng a beautifully printed flyer.
Curious, Bai Xiaosheng takes it. Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying lean in to look as well.
On the flyer filled with Huaxia elents, neatly written in Chinese—”Chinatown Quarterly Event Day”!
“Is today any special day?” Bai Xiaosheng asks, puzzled.
He doesn’t recall any traditional festivals.
The waiter explains with a smile, “It’s just a quarterly display day, showcasing new aspects of Chinatown. It’s a special day born in the new era, much like the Huaxia shopping festival. If you have ti, you might want to check it out. There are lion dances, dragon dances, lots of Huaxia cuisine. Also, there are campaign rallies; it’s quite lively.”
Bai Xiaosheng nods.
The waiter politely smiles, turns around, and goes to introduce the event to other guests.
Bai Xiaosheng shakes the flyer and smiles, asking Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, “Are you interested?”
“Sure, let’s take a look!”
“Yeah, let’s go check it out!”
