The head of the Taylor Clan walked out of the business room with Ye Liena. Outside, lanie, Xiya, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying were waiting. As soon as they saw them co out, they surrounded them.
"Why so soon? What did Miss Caroline say?" lanie pulled Ye Liena aside and urgently asked in a low voice.
Since Miss Caroline left Ye Liena to handle the matter, lanie was more concerned about whether Miss Caroline was angry and disappointed with them rather than the result.
lanie had also considered the possible outcos while she waited outside.
Miss Caroline would not easily give up the advanced technology of the Taylor Clan. After all, she had been planning this for a long ti with significant investnt, even personally handling much of it herself. How could she just change her mind because of a Bai Xiaosheng?
Yes, Bai Xiaosheng was the Executive President of the Greater China Region, an esteed position, but Miss Caroline was still the Chief Executive!
Higher than him by one level!
Moreover, could the Chief Executive stationed at headquarters be the sa as those in the North Arica Region?
lanie, with her innate pride as a local, believed that the Chief Executive of the North Arica Region was of higher status than those from other regions!
What qualification did Bai Xiaosheng have to make Miss Caroline concede?
However, lanie thought again and realized that since Bai Xiaosheng was an area’s Executive President, he would have to be given face. Besides, Miss Caroline seed intent on discussing cooperation between the two regions with him and would consider his position sowhat.
Therefore, lanie believed that today’s matter would likely be postponed. At most, Miss Caroline would lightly instruct Ye Liena to consider the opinion of that Bai person for the final resolution.
And that would already be giving a lot of face!
That was why lanie asked what Miss Caroline had said instead of the final result when Ye Liena ca out.
anwhile, Taylor was pulled to the side by Xiya and others, also being urgently questioned.
The resolution of today’s matter was extrely important to both parties.
Ye Liena glanced at Taylor’s side before lowering her voice and quickly telling lanie, "Miss Caroline has already made the final decision!"
lanie didn’t want to hear this and imdiately said, "I know, it must be ’temporarily shelve it, discuss it another day’, right?"
What lanie said was full of confidence and certainty.
"No!" Ye Liena firmly denied it.
"No?" lanie was stunned, murmuring, "You ca out so quickly, and it’s not to discuss later? Could it be that Miss Caroline didn’t give face to that Bai Xiaosheng!"
lanie said this with so admiration.
Miss Caroline indeed acted with such domineering power, fearlessly dismissing Bai Xiaosheng, the Executive President of the Greater China Region, as an insignificant bug!
What if she didn’t give him face!
"No!" Ye Liena denied again.
"Not that either?" lanie was taken aback.
From a distance, Xiya suddenly let out a gasp of surprise, her voice filled with astonishnt and delight.
This made lanie unable to resist glancing back, and Ye Liena also looked that way.
Believing that the result had already been communicated to Xiya by Taylor, Ye Liena needed to be quick, knowing she still had to wrap things up shortly.
Not wanting to keep any suspense, Ye Liena directly told lanie, "Miss Caroline agreed to terminate the contract with the Taylor Clan with a breach penalty."
"What!" lanie nearly jumped up.
How could this be!
Miss Caroline had been planning for so long, would she just give up?
This didn’t align with her style at all!
Seeing Taylor looking over, Ye Liena knew she couldn’t delay any longer and urgently said to lanie, "Do you know who that Bai Xiaosheng is! Our information is too closed. We only know he is the Executive President over the Greater China Region. However, he is not only the Executive President of the Greater China Region; he holds other authority as well!"
lanie was puzzled, her eyes filled with confusion.
Ye Liena couldn’t help but lower her voice, filled with awe, "His additional authority cos from the headquarters’ mysterious oversight departnt. I’m sure you’ve heard of them!"
lanie’s eyes involuntarily widened with shock.
The oversight departnt at headquarters! Of course, she had heard of it—they were mysterious and powerful!
Even Miss Caroline would beco serious whenever she ntioned them.
Unexpectedly, Bai Xiaosheng was actually a part of that departnt!
"But there’s no official announcent from the group," lanie couldn’t help but murmur.
She felt this truth was like a dream, sowhat surreal.
Logically, people from the headquarters’ oversight departnt shouldn’t hold high positions locally, should they?
Ye Liena said softly, "Perhaps Mr. Bai is here to report this ti! Anyone entering that departnt might even have their career information in the group’s records disappear. You still expect to see an announcent? What are you thinking! Do you expect them to announce themselves when they co to investigate your company?"
With that, lanie had nothing to say.
"Not only that, but do you know his exact role in that departnt?!" Ye Liena added, her eyes clearly lighting up as if filled with admiration.
lanie looked at her in surprise. The last ti she saw such a look in Ye Liena’s eyes, it was because of Miss Caroline.
Before lanie could ask, Taylor called out from afar, "Miss Ye Liena, shall we leave?"
"Yes." Ye Liena imdiately responded with a smile to Taylor, becoming much more courteous to him because of Bai Xiaosheng.
After all, Taylor had managed to enlist Bai Xiaosheng’s help!
Just for that, Ye Liena was imnsely impressed.
"That Mr. Bai Xiaosheng is the second-in-command in the headquarters’ oversight departnt, a deputy chief!" Ye Liena quickly told lanie, "He could even initiate an impeachnt against Miss Caroline, forcing her to undergo an investigation!"
Ye Liena’s words left lanie stunned and speechless.
Bai Xiaosheng was that powerful!
This is...
Previously, they dared to confront him so boldly. Wasn’t this like a deer posing arrogantly in front of a lion, courting doom?
lanie was left utterly dumbfounded.
Ye Liena didn’t have ti to indulge in the shock any longer. She left lanie there with a smile, heading towards Taylor.
Next, they still had contract matters to deal with.
lanie stood there blankly, watching as Ye Liena and the head of the Taylor Clan left. She glanced over and saw that Xiya had a similar expression—unbelieving, as if this were all a dream.
However, the difference was Xiya’s face was filled with joy, her mouth unable to stop smiling...
lanie imdiately followed Ye Liena, too embarrassed to linger any longer.
anwhile, those inside the business room were unaware of what transpired outside.
At this mont, Bai Xiaosheng was holding the draft contract that Miss Caroline had given him.
The contract was a thick stack, involving multiple stages, dozens of industries, and hundreds of companies. Extrely comprehensive.
Bai Xiaosheng read quickly, scanning only the core parts. He skimd through each page rapidly and set them aside without a ripple in his calm expression.
Caroline watched him with a smile.
For soone like her, this docunt would take over an hour to thoroughly read. The brief ti spent with a group of assistants correcting the text was because she had previously gone through it countless tis, well-versed in every aspect.
Bai Xiaosheng, seeing it for the first ti, yet reading so quickly, must only be getting an impression, Caroline thought.
In her view, Bai Xiaosheng was glancing through it out of a sense of obligation and would inevitably sign smoothly.
If he signed without hesitation, she might forgive him sowhat. When Vice Chairman Morgan takes action against him, she could act together with him instead of targeting him in advance.
Caroline was musing when Bai Xiaosheng put down the docunts, having browsed through them all.
"What does Mr. Bai think, is it ready to sign?" Caroline asked with a smile.
Bai Xiaosheng opened his eyes, smiling at her.
Just when Caroline thought everything was fine.
Bai Xiaosheng, seemingly joking, said, "You want to sign this contract; I’m afraid I can’t do that, brother!"
