During the seven-hour journey from Huajing to Linshen, except for a break of more than an hour at noon, Chen Feiqiu remained energetic, chatting non-stop with Bai Xiaosheng.
Chen Feiqiu recited the humanistic customs, scenic spots, and delicacies of the various cities in Huaxia like a treasure trove, speaking comprehensively. Bai Xiaosheng, who was a Huaxia person himself, was full of admiration, feeling inferior.
Saying Chen Feiqiu is a Huaxia expert doesn’t do justice to his vast knowledge; he’s more Huaxia than a Huaxia person.
If it weren’t for the powerful search ability of Red Lotus, Bai Xiaosheng might have had a hard ti keeping up with the conversation.
Moreover, Chen Feiqiu also effortlessly ntions the scenery and cuisine of different countries around the world, and has unique insights into the economy and culture of various cities.
"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles," Bai Xiaosheng gained a new understanding of this saying.
This future African chieftain, with such insights, has limitless prospects ahead.
Ma Xiaoxiao, who sat behind Chen Feiqiu, also remained energetic throughout, occasionally interjecting with comnts, or exclaiming from the side. She looked at Chen Feiqiu with a face full of admiration, occasionally adding a coquettish remark.
"You have so much knowledge!" "Wow! You’re amazing, you know all this!" "Tell more, it’s so interesting!"
Chen Feiqiu wasn’t particularly averse to Ma Xiaoxiao.
And with Bai Xiaosheng’s tolerance, he didn’t mind this woman at all.
Sitting next to Ma Xiaoxiao was Lin Weiwei, who didn’t seem to like her much. She plugged her ears with earphones, reclined her seat, and took a beauty nap throughout the journey, avoiding any annoyance by not seeing her.
Compared to Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Feiqiu’s lively conversation, Lei Ying and the bald African Gan barely exchanged a few words, and the atmosphere between them was sowhat delicate, with Gan holding a grudge against Lei Ying for suppressing him during a conflict.
During the journey, Gan said a few provocative words to Lei Ying, all with a sullen voice full of hostility.
"I don’t fight you because my master didn’t instruct , not because you are formidable!"
"We can try it out soti, then you’ll know how formidable I am. I used to be an unlimited-level combat expert!"
"I’ve knocked down a hundred opponents of your build! Did you know that, a full hundred!"
Lei Ying never responded to him, adopting the deanor of a master, "Let you be arrogant, a gentle breeze brushes the mountain ridge."
Unfortunately, Gan, not being Chen Feiqiu’s master, couldn’t grasp this level of understanding, mistakenly thinking his words had frightened Lei Ying, smiling disdainfully with a bit of pride.
In the afternoon, approaching the station, Bai Xiaosheng and Chen Feiqiu exchanged contact details.
Then, Bai Xiaosheng asked with a smile, "Have you booked a place to stay? I have resources and can arrange accommodation for you."
Chen Feiqiu shook his head with a smile, "Forget it, I don’t like those star-rated hotels detached from the local life, nor do I like pre-arranged plans, that’s so boring! I prefer to find a hostay myself, it’s more interesting!"
Bai Xiaosheng understood this preference, imdiately laughed and nodded, "Alright, I won’t disturb your interests then. During your stay in Linshen, if you need anything, you can reach out to . I won’t decline help if I can provide it!"
Bai Xiaosheng’s words were really friendly.
"Alright," Chen Feiqiu grinned widely, showing his snow-white teeth, "If you visit my place, I’ll make sure to show you the warmth of the African people."
Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile.
While they were talking, Ma Xiaoxiao approached again eagerly, saying to Chen Feiqiu, "Chieftain, how about I act as your guide? My ho is within the second ring of Linshen City, and I’m very familiar with Linshen!"
Chen Feiqiu looked at Ma Xiaoxiao and thought for a mont before finally nodding, "Well, that’s good. I’ll trouble you then! However, I have a habit, I can’t let people work for free. For acting as my guide for a day in Linshen, I’ll pay you ten thousand, it’s not much, has no other aning. If you refuse, then I can’t accept."
Indeed, Chen Feiqiu is generous, paying ten thousand for a day’s guiding!
Ma Xiaoxiao swallowed secretly and smiled, "Well then, I can’t refuse your offer."
Thus, the matter was settled.
Bai Xiaosheng gave Ma Xiaoxiao a deep look.
As the woman sat back joyfully, Bai Xiaosheng beckoned Chen Feiqiu closer, whispering advice, "Be careful of this woman, I don’t think she is as innocent as she appears."
"Don’t worry, I’m smart too. She wants money, I’ll give her money, it’s simple as that." Chen Feiqiu laughed nonchalantly, "As for other things, I’m aware, besides I have Gan, why would I fear a woman with ill intentions!"
Seeing that he was well inford, Bai Xiaosheng said no more.
Half an hour later, the high-speed train entered Linshen station.
Bai Xiaosheng bid farewell to Chen Feiqiu and got off the train with Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.
eting such a friend, Bai Xiaosheng felt quite novel and interesting.
The station was crowded, and as soon as they separated, they each quickly faded into the sea of people.
Bai Xiaosheng and the others made their way out, seeing the people who ca to greet them.
Wow, quite a crowd, even Xiahou Qi ca personally.
Bai Xiaosheng quickly walked a few steps ahead to greet everyone, and smiled at Xiahou Qi, "Elder Xia, you ca too!"
"I ca to welco you. Since I have nothing to do right now, thought I’d co out too." Xiahou Qi said with a cheerful laugh.
The elder carried a cane; even though he was healthy, his age had inevitably weakened his legs a bit.
Bai Xiaosheng felt touched and nodded with a smile to Zheng Honghu, Li Haofeng, Chen Yucheng and other seniors behind Xiahou Qi, accompanying him out.
Everyone clustered around the elder and the youth.
Outside, cars were ready. Everyone got into their respective vehicles, heading towards the Greater China Region Headquarters of the Zhenbei Group.
On the way, Bai Xiaosheng shared so anecdotes and insights from his experiences in South Arica and North Arica with Xiahou Qi and the others.
Xiahou Qi also discussed the recent work progress here with Bai Xiaosheng.
The journey wasn’t long enough, and everyone continued chatting once back at the company.
In the evening, Xiahou Qi gathered all the senior managent at the headquarters for a welco banquet for Bai Xiaosheng.
After the lively dinner, Bai Xiaosheng gathered Xiahou Qi and other trusted high-level individuals to discuss his alliance with Jia Chengshan and others in Huajing, and also ntioned Hou Yuncheng’s invitation for an African visit.
Xiahou Qi and the others were all invigorated upon hearing this.
Xiahou Qi even made a public commitnt on behalf of everyone to Bai Xiaosheng, "This is a national-level opportunity, we must seize it firmly!"
"Sheng, you go ahead and do it! We are your staunch supporters!"
