Bai Xiaosheng, accompanied by Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and Feng Li, hurried to the reception room. Upon arrival, he pushed the door open directly. This was, after all, his own company, and given Bai Xiaosheng’s position, there was no need for prior knocking or greetings.
In the reception room, two people sat on the sofa discussing matters. One of them was naturally Li Haofeng. Opposite him sat a man in his thirties. He looked vigorous with a straight posture, and his attire was tasteful. As he spoke eloquently, he exuded an extraordinary aura.
Behind the man stood two young and beautiful female assistants, both tall and professional, one holding a briefcase and the other a notebook and pen, seemingly jotting down key points of the conversation.
While retrieving information through Red Lotus, Bai Xiaosheng had co across an image of Han Zizhi, which matched this person exactly.
It seed that this was indeed Han Zizhi.
Bai Xiaosheng promptly stepped forward.
The people over there also heard the commotion at the door and turned their heads to look.
"Our Mr. Bai is here!" Li Haofeng said with a smile to Han Zizhi, standing up as he spoke.
Han Zizhi’s eyes were fixed on Bai Xiaosheng, curiously sizing up the man who was about his age, and he slowly stood up too.
The two beautiful secretaries behind Han Zizhi also glanced over with sparkling eyes. This young president, Bai Xiaosheng, who was famous in the business world and often surrounded by legends, intrigued them as well.
Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t as sharp as Han Zizhi, but the longer one stared, the more one could feel the unique depth about him.
"Mr. Bai, this is Mr. Han Zizhi from ZhiZi Live, here to visit you and discuss cooperation matters."
"Mr. Han, this is Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, President of the Greater China Region of Zhenbei Group!"
Li Haofeng introduced the two with a smile.
"It’s a pleasure, Mr. Bai!" Han Zizhi said with a smile.
Although Han Zizhi extended his hand first, the tone of his speech, deanor, and the manner in which he offered his hand did not show the lowered posture of soone visiting another.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, standing behind Bai Xiaosheng, couldn’t help but glance at each other, both simultaneously feeling that Han Zizhi carried a certain arrogance, possibly because his father is a tycoon in the business world—Han He. Growing up in a superior environnt likely cultivated this inherent pride.
"Pleasure to et you, Mr. Han!" Bai Xiaosheng was indifferent to Han Zizhi’s deanor, offering a slight smile and shaking hands with calm composure.
"Please, have a seat!" After shaking hands with Han Zizhi, Bai Xiaosheng gestured for him to sit and said, "Mr. Han, have you co to discuss cooperation? Mr. Li, where did your conversation leave off?"
Han Zizhi sat across from Bai Xiaosheng, leaning slightly back against the rear cushion, glancing at Li Haofeng beside him and smiling, "I only just started with Mr. Li, we barely exchanged a few words, and now that you’re here, Mr. Bai, we can discuss things in person."
Han Zizhi’s attitude again positioned himself as an equal in status to Bai Xiaosheng.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying stood behind Bai Xiaosheng while Feng Li went to pour tea. After serving Bai Xiaosheng a cup, Feng Li stood behind Li Haofeng.
Witnessing Han Zizhi’s deanor and statents, Lin Weiwei slightly furrowed her brows.
This Han Zizhi was perhaps a bit too "disrespectful," seeking cooperation without modesty. Did he think his successful ventures, and perhaps being listed in the Forbes Wealth Rankings, made him remarkable?
Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t listed because he chose not to be.
It’s known that many great figures exist outside those rankings, with wealth comparable to or even surpassing those listed.
In terms of personal strength, Bai Xiaosheng’s nine companies were arguably beyond the reach of the Han Family.
Moreover, in Bai Xiaosheng’s overt position as the Executive President of the Greater China Region of Zhenbei Group, he could easily stand on equal footing with Han He.
For Han Zizhi to equate himself with Bai Xiaosheng was perhaps overestimating himself.
Lin Weiwei found herself increasingly displeased with Han Zizhi’s posture and tone the more she observed.
Bai Xiaosheng, sitting opposite Han Zizhi, smiled faintly and asked, "I wonder, Mr. Han, what kind of cooperation are you here to discuss? Is it in the realm of live streaming or short videos? As far as I know, your ZhiZi Live is flourishing, capturing nearly a quarter of the market share. Do you still need a partner? The Han family, and your father, Mr. Han He, could easily support your platform to beco one of the top three players. Why would you need a partner?"
Bai Xiaosheng’s remarks made Li Haofeng secretly nod in approval.
Upon learning that Han Zizhi sought cooperation, Li Haofeng shared this doubt.
Would this person willingly share the lucrative opportunities at hand?
Even if Han Zizhi truly lacked funds or needed assistance, he should seek his father; after all, wealth should remain within the family!
Li Haofeng looked at Han Zizhi, eager to hear his response.
Han Zizhi smiled at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Mr. Bai, you misunderstand. I am indeed here to discuss cooperation, but it’s not related to the live streaming business. I want to diversify the company’s operations, expand the ecosystem, and seek partnerships in industries such as sports, foreign trade, and mobile phones. These are areas where the Han Family Enterprise is not particularly adept, but where Mr. Bai excels. Therefore, I ca to you, Mr. Bai."
