Hearing from Lin Ke that Elder Xia is expecting him to discuss so issues related to the negotiations with Han He, Bai Xiaosheng imdiately frowned slightly.
At that ti, Han Zizhi ca to him to discuss cooperation, which he refused.
The reason being, the content of the cooperation was entirely Han Zizhi’s own business, unrelated to the Han Family.
In Bai Xiaosheng’s opinion, Han Zizhi’s business was moving too fast, spreading too wide, without necessary sedintation, just blindly chasing the current trend, like a precarious castle in the air with unstable foundations.
Frankly speaking, it could collapse at any mont.
Of course, Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t irrationally accompany Han Zizhi in taking unnecessary risks.
At that ti, Bai Xiaosheng directly rejected Han Zizhi and believed there was no reason for Han He, a mature businessman, to be offended.
After all, Han He is a person as reputable as Lu Yun of Tengyun Group, at least he’s expected to have a certain degree of magnanimity.
But now, Han He’s refusal to cooperate with their Zhenbei Group in the Greater China Region, is it due to other considerations, or is it related to that previous incident...
Bai Xiaosheng pondered slightly, then looked up to ask Lin Ke, "What exactly went wrong with the negotiations with Han He? Are the terms disagreeable, or does the Han Family intend to go solo, unwilling to share any profits, or is there so other reason? Ake, what else do you know?"
Lin Ke shook her head directly, "Other than that, I’m not quite sure."
She wasn’t the person in charge of this matter, having only heard ntioned by Xiahou Qi.
"I think, it’s likely that the problem lies with Han Zizhi. At that ti he approached for cooperation, Xiaosheng you bluntly refused him, causing him great embarrassnt. If this gets out, it wouldn’t just harm Han Zizhi’s face, but damage the reputation of the entire Han Family. How could Han He not be furious, and still want to cooperate with us?" Lin Weiwei stated.
"If that’s true, then Han He is really narrow-minded." Lei Ying murmured from the side.
Lin Ke watched the crowd curiously, then looked at Bai Xiaosheng, "I heard about you rejecting Han Zizhi, but I think you did the right thing. His father is upset about this and won’t cooperate with us?"
Bai Xiaosheng responded leisurely, "Now, we can’t draw conclusions yet, maybe it’s due to other reasons. The Han Family holds a significant advantage in the field we’ve set our sights on, if they want to go solo, they have ample reasons and strength to do so."
After all, with the potential to capture more benefits, who would want to share it?
Before seeing Xiahou Qi and hearing further information, Bai Xiaosheng refrained from imprudent speculation, which is aningless, unreasoned, and utterly unhelpful in resolving the matter.
Thinking of this, Bai Xiaosheng smiled at the group, "Alright, let’s not discuss this topic for now."
Bai Xiaosheng turned to Lin Ke, smiling, "I heard you’ve had quite a smooth outing, not only did you handle things well, but also enjoyed good food, drink, and entertainnt. Don’t deny it, I checked your social dia! Honestly, did you bring us any local specialties?"
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying also smiled at Lin Ke upon hearing this.
Lin Ke chuckled and leaned towards Bai Xiaosheng, playfully punching his shoulder, "Boss, you see, I forgot to block you... Ah, no, I’m saying, how could I forget to bring you a gift, I’m your loyal and adorable subordinate after all."
...
After joking around with Lin Ke, they didn’t feel bored, and before they knew it, Bai Xiaosheng and the others arrived at the headquarters by car.
Bai Xiaosheng instructed Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and Lin Ke to get busy, while he headed straight to Xiahou Qi’s office.
He knocked on the door and, upon receiving a response, pushed it open to enter. Even though Bai Xiaosheng was now the head of the Greater China Region, and had risen to the level of business president, comparable to Jiang Kuo, he still maintained great respect for Xiahou Qi, which naturally earns him respect from others.
With Bai Xiaosheng, there’s no such thing as being dismissive when soone has left, which also keeps morale warm among the staff.
As Xiahou Qi was reviewing docunts, he looked up to find Bai Xiaosheng coming in, and imdiately smiled, standing up and walking around his desk.
"You’re back, co, sit here." Xiahou Qi pointed to the nearby sofa, smiling as he went to retrieve his prized tea leaves.
"Elder Xia, let handle it." Bai Xiaosheng quickly stepped forward, grabbed the tea leaves, and turned to start brewing.
Xiahou Qi graciously sat down on the sofa, couldn’t help but massage his back, and sighed, "Can’t pretend to be young anymore, back in the day, I wouldn’t be so tired from sitting for a couple of hours reviewing materials."
Bai Xiaosheng carried the tea over, slightly reproaching, "You need to take care of your health, you shouldn’t be overworking yourself. Otherwise, if ailnts recur, you’ll end up back in the monitoring unit. Haven’t you suffered enough there? If you keep this up, I’ll revoke your work privileges."
Bai Xiaosheng treated Xiahou Qi like his own grandfather, and his reprimanding words ca from genuine concern.
"Alright, you’re the boss, your criticism is valid, I’ll listen to you." Xiahou Qi naturally understood Bai Xiaosheng’s concern, smiled warmly, feeling comforted.
Bai Xiaosheng also smiled, once the tea was brewed, he first poured a cup of hot tea for the elder and brought it over.
"Let’s talk business." Xiahou Qi held the hot tea and said to Bai Xiaosheng, "On the way here, that little girl Lin Ke told you, right."
Bai Xiaosheng poured a cup of tea for himself, nodding, "She ntioned briefly that the negotiations with Han He were not going smoothly."
Upon ntioning this matter, Xiahou Qi’s smile slightly faded, snorted coldly, "Humph, not just unsmooth. I truly overestimated this Han He."
