Chapter 2922 - 2032: Welcome Banquet (Part 2)

Chapter 2922: Chapter 2032: Welcome Banquet (Part 2)

Frankly speaking, this news really surprised Vice Chairman Morgan and made Caroline’s eyes light up.

They wanted to take action against Bai Xiaosheng, and were bound to face some resistance, among which the old fellow Lu Cheng’an was an obstacle they could not bypass.

Now, the obstacle has fallen on its own, it’s like God wants Bai Xiaosheng dead!

While at the hospital, Vice Chairman Morgan and Caroline specifically found out that Lu Cheng’an would be bedridden for over a month for medical observation, not to mention walking, even using a wheelchair he can’t be pushed out.

Without Lu Cheng’an’s protection, Bai Xiaosheng is one step closer to destruction!

"Tomorrow, tomorrow is great, today Bai Xiaosheng returns to the group, crowned with glory, and tomorrow he will be in ruins, setting a record, leaving a legend!"

Vice Chairman Morgan chuckled coldly and said, "I’ve contacted two vice chairmen to align with me. As for the other four, Lu Cheng’an is waiting for Lucifer’s summons, Li Yunyuan is a stubborn problem, and the other two are not worth worrying about. As long as the evidence for questioning Bai Xiaosheng is strong enough, they will choose to remain neutral and watch!"

In this regard, Vice Chairman Morgan made the arrangements clear.

"Moreover, tomorrow there will be someone returning who is quite advantageous to us!" Vice Chairman Morgan added.

Upon hearing this, Caroline’s eyes also lit up as she smiled and said, "You mean..."

Vice Chairman Morgan nodded.

"I really have some expectations that tomorrow arrives sooner!" Caroline’s lips curved into a smile.

Vice Chairman Morgan looked into the distance, laughing coldly, "It’s almost noon, the group’s welcome banquet for Bai Xiaosheng is about to start. Haha, haven’t seen Bai Xiaosheng in a while, indeed should have a few words with him."

"After all, there won’t be a chance later!"

...

On the other side, Wen Yan, Bai Xiaosheng returned to the group’s headquarters together, accompanied by Soruns and Jiang Kuo.

Currently, there’s just half an hour left until the group’s arranged luncheon.

Originally time was ample, but they went to the hospital and ended up using almost all of it.

While walking through the group building, Wen Yan smiled at Bai Xiaosheng and said, "Didn’t expect the welcome banquet to be so taxing on you, it really shouldn’t be. Why don’t you go to the room to put your things down and rest for a bit, it’s okay if you go later. I’ll explain to each vice chairman and director, let the banquet be delayed a bit, I’m sure they’ll understand."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said, "I’ve spent this past year rushing everywhere, used to being pressed for time. Thank you for considering me, but no need to adjust the banquet time, it wouldn’t be right to make everyone wait for just me, I’d feel uneasy."

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s persistent expression, Wen Yan also nodded and smiled, "Alright, you go ahead, I’ll have someone come to pick you up later."

Bai Xiaosheng also nodded.

Zhenbei Group’s headquarters is a skyscraper, in addition to office areas, there’s an attached hotel, with rooms kept ready on a daily basis, specially serving the group’s headquarters, with quite nice facilities.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others had stayed here more than once, familiar with the place, so this time in the elevator hall, he parted ways with everyone else and went to the hotel alone.

Jiang Kuo wanted to escort Bai Xiaosheng and the others over but was declined by Bai Xiaosheng.

After parting from the group, Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions took the elevator up the floors, reached the hotel level, got the keys from the front desk, and went to their rooms.

Entering the room prepared for himself, Bai Xiaosheng saw a spacious and bright large suite, the living room had floor-to-ceiling glass curtains, overlooking Ganande’s most bustling view.

Putting his things down, Bai Xiaosheng stood by the window, looking down, seeing towering buildings, people and vehicles like ants, weaving endlessly.

"Tomorrow, I must face off with Morgan, success or failure, honor or disgrace hinges on this battle!"

Facing the urban prosperity, Bai Xiaosheng thought about this.

Neither side expected that the day they chose for the showdown happened to be the same.

Strangely, it overlapped.

Bai Xiaosheng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window for a few minutes, then heard a knock on the door, opening it to find Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying had put down their things and came to join him.

Their rooms were likely arranged by Wen Yan, connected together, convenient for coming and going.

Inviting in the two, Lin Weiwei went to make a pot of tea, and the three sat on the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking water and resting.

The preparations for tomorrow’s offensive against Vice Chairman Morgan and Caroline were all completed.

Lin Weiwei stated that later, when Bai Xiaosheng goes to the welcome banquet, she and Lei Ying will sieve through things here again.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded, feeling assured with them handling things.

He then said, "In Wen Yan’s car, I also received a message, which I haven’t had a chance to tell you, Mrs. Margery mentioned that this morning, she informed Vice Chairman Morgan that the arrangement he ordered has been implemented, delayed until the last minute. So, I believe Vice Chairman Morgan will also initiate an offensive against us as soon as possible."

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying looked at each other and nodded successively.

"So, we must race against time, I appreciate you two working hard!"

Bai Xiaosheng then reiterated some important matters to pay attention to with the two again.

Time passed quickly.

Fifteen minutes later, there was a knock on the door outside.

Lin Weiwei got up and opened the door, finding Wen Yan had sent someone to invite Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng stood up to go to the banquet, before leaving he reminded Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to not rush to work during lunch, eat first, and then rest and continue afterwards.

The hotel’s high-end restaurant offered dishes of high quality, could be called to the room, and eating was quite at ease.

To be honest, if not for socializing, Bai Xiaosheng would rather not compromise his stomach for a welcome banquet.

Leaving the room, Bai Xiaosheng followed the person all the way to the destination.

The welcome banquet venue was on dozens of floors above, there was also a hotel there, actually, no different from the one they were staying in.

As for why it wasn’t held altogether here, that was unknown.

Although Bai Xiaosheng found this arrangement somewhat cumbersome, he didn’t fuss over such trivial matters.

Soon, they arrived at the place.

Outside the banquet hall, there were already many people standing. As they saw Bai Xiaosheng approaching, their eyes brightened admiringly, slightly bowing, warmly greeting him.

"Mr. Bai!" "Mr. Bai!"

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and nodded to the crowd, at the door, someone took the initiative to open it for him.

Bai Xiaosheng walked inside.

The large banquet hall was decorated with Huaxia-style lighting and decorations, adorned festively.

In a high-level composition of two-thirds being white and black individuals, a Chinese-style banquet arrangement was evidently specially prepared for Bai Xiaosheng.

In the center of the banquet hall was a round table, where over ten people were already seated.

As Bai Xiaosheng walked in, someone was the first to start clapping, followed by everyone else.

Bai Xiaosheng also recognized them; there were vice chairmen and business presidents, with Wen Yan leading the applause.

Bai Xiaosheng brought his hands together, smiling and bowing, expressing gratitude while walking over.

"Here comes our group’s great contributor, come sit with me." A low voice called out loudly.

Bai Xiaosheng looked over to see Vice Chairman Morgan smiling ambiguous at him.

"Why not sit over here, I have a seat too." Someone else said loudly, it was Li Yunyuan.

It was obvious Vice Chairman Morgan was not sincerely inviting him, so Li Yunyuan openly competed for him.

Li Yunyuan looked somewhat haggard, with a smile carrying hidden melancholy, still perhaps concerned for his old friend Lu Cheng’an.

"Hey! Vice Chairman Li, I’m the one who invited him first, it’s not appropriate for you to compete with me." Vice Chairman Morgan retorted.

"What’s inappropriate about it, it’s more comfortable sitting on my side!" Li Yunyuan snorted coldly.

Seeing these two start bickering, Wen Yan hurriedly intervened with a smile, "Gentlemen, let’s not argue over this trivial matter."

Bai Xiaosheng also smiled and said, "Mr. Li, I’ll sit over here."

Vice Chairman Morgan heard this and smiled smugly, raising his brow, provocatively glancing at Li Yunyuan.

Li Yunyuan had nothing to say.

Bai Xiaosheng added, "I see the Huaxia-style decor here, so dining rituals must follow Huaxia customs, as the junior, I should indeed sit here."
