The venue was already seventy percent full, with everyone engaged in low-voiced conversations and laughter.
The staff led Han He forward, and quite a few people greeted Han He as they saw him, though their status was naturally a bit lower.
Han He warmly greeted them all with a friendly face.
His seat was at a table in the middle of the front row, indeed a core seat.
As he walked over, Han He realized that the table was almost fully seated.
Lu Yun, Jia Chengshan, Dong Tianlu, Lu Tiandao, Lin Tianyi, Hong Chengtian...
Han He glanced over, unsurprised, recognizing these people as individuals with statuses similar to his, core figures in the business group.
With a smiling face, Han He walked over.
Suddenly, he noticed a sowhat unfamiliar man sitting between Lu Yun and Jia Chengshan.
The key point was, that man looked too young, about as young as his own son, making him seem sowhat out of place among those present simply by his age.
The young man sat there, chatting and laughing effortlessly with Lu Yun, Jia Chengshan, and others, exuding an aura that was not at all inferior.
Who is this?
Surprised, Han He suddenly caught sight of the naplate on the table in front of the young man.
His eyes narrowed abruptly.
Bai Xiaosheng!
That was Bai Xiaosheng!
Han He couldn’t help but be astonished, and then muttered in his mind—
This doesn’t look anything like the photo in the news!
By this ti, Han He had already reached near the table, and everyone noticed him.
When Bai Xiaosheng looked over, Han He saw profound eyes, with a brightness like stars in the night sky.
This Bai Xiaosheng is no simple figure!
With one look, Han He confird this.
"Oh, Mr. Han has arrived," Lu Yun chuckled from beside Bai Xiaosheng.
Jia Chengshan on the other side also laughed, "Just now, we were talking about Mr. Han. Mr. Han really appears when spoken of."
Others echoed the sentint.
With a slight smile, before sitting down, Han He nodded to greet everyone present and then said, "You were just talking about ? What an honor, what were you discussing about ?"
Being talked about in such a setting, is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Han He was a bit curious as well.
"We were discussing how Mr. Han’s business is growing bigger, his comrcial operation skills are becoming increasingly proficient, managing with great skill!" Dong Tianlu said with a smile that didn’t reach his eyes, with a hint of sarcasm between the lines.
The others also looked at Han He with varying degrees of smiles.
"From the sound of it, this doesn’t seem like a complint. Which wise guy is stirring trouble?" Han He frowned slightly in his heart, but maintained a generous smile on the surface, lifting his eyes to look at Bai Xiaosheng.
Bai Xiaosheng t his gaze calmly with a slight smile.
"You must be Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, the Executive President of the Zhenbei Group for the Greater China Region! Truly talented at a young age!" Han He took the initiative to speak.
However, in his speech, he didn’t use the respectful "Sir," but "you," phrased in a way that evaluated a junior.
The people present had subtle reactions, seemingly sowhat at odds with Han He’s attitude.
"I am Bai Xiaosheng." Bai Xiaosheng seed unfazed by Han He’s address, chuckled and turned his naplate towards Han He’s direction.
As if suggesting that the elderly man might need a clearer look.
"Well, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, not long ago, you sent people to talk about cooperation. I said I would get back soon, yet your people couldn’t wait an extra day and left. Isn’t that inappropriate? I’ve never seen such a haughty approach to discuss cooperation." Han He said with a smirk.
He counterattacked by complaining first, trying to present Bai Xiaosheng in a negative light.
Calm and unruffled, Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile, "Yes, I told them to withdraw because there was no point in continuing. Mr. Han, you had us wait while you raced to capture the market. What were we waiting for?"
The people at the table whispered among themselves, looking at Han He.
Han He’s smile faded, and he frowned slightly for the first ti.
"Mr. Bai, are you accusing , Mr. Han, without any evidence? You are slandering without any proof! What logic is that? If you co to discuss cooperation, must I wait for your side and then willingly hand over a market share? Isn’t that too overbearing? Who would dare to talk about cooperation with you?"
With a sharp tongue, Han He attempted to portray Bai Xiaosheng as a terrible trading partner in front of Lu Yun, Jia Chengshan, Dong Tianlu, and others.
Even if not everyone believed it, it would create so friction and trouble for Bai Xiaosheng.
Han He looked at Bai Xiaosheng, mocking him silently.
If Bai Xiaosheng had approached with a humble posture, apologizing and explaining about his son’s matter, Han He might not have been so aggressive.
But it seed Bai Xiaosheng intended to tarnish Han He’s reputation publicly!
Hadn’t Dong Tianlu and the others spoken with a hint of mockery?
Han He was not one to suffer losses, thus he pointedly attacked Bai Xiaosheng.
Before Bai Xiaosheng could respond, soone behind Han He suddenly spoke, "My father is right!"
Everyone looked over in surprise.
Han He turned around to see Han Zizhi standing behind him, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with a cold smile, "All you esteed business veterans here, Bai Xiaosheng saw our family doing well in so areas and sent people wanting a share. When negotiations failed, he started spreading rumors. Whatever you may have heard from him before, you mustn’t believe it."
