Chapter 2923: Chapter 2033: Nothing Worth Saying

Bai Xiaosheng sat down next to Vice Chairman Morgan and gave him a polite smile. At this moment, Vice Chairman Morgan was beginning to understand.

Just now, Bai Xiaosheng seemed to have insulted him!

Bai Xiaosheng said, according to Huaxia customs, he couldn’t sit together with elders, and thus declined Li Yunyuan’s invitation, ending up sitting next to him.

What does this mean! Indirectly, it made him subordinate to Li Yunyuan!

Previously, Vice Chairman Morgan was somewhat pleased with himself, but now he felt angry inside.

Seeing Li Yunyuan change to a smiling demeanor and casually glance at him, everyone familiar with Huaxia customs lowered their heads to drink tea, using it as a cover for their emotions, making him harbor even more resentment towards Bai Xiaosheng.

Wen Yan smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Earlier, our Mr. Sheng was specifically showing respect to Vice Chairman Li Yunyuan with his mention of Huaxia dining etiquette. The rest of us aren’t familiar with these customs, so there’s no need to mind, let’s just be at ease, no need to switch seats or anything."

This was also to ease the atmosphere.

After all, the welcome banquet had yet to start, and there was no need to provoke Vice Chairman Morgan into anger.

Everyone knew Wen Yan’s intentions and nodded in agreement.

Vice Chairman Morgan also presented a magnanimous demeanor, seemingly unbothered by it.

As the host of the banquet, Wen Yan faced everyone, smiling and raising his glass, "Today, I was entrusted by Mr. Bai Xuanyu and Mr. Situ Yin to host this banquet, also thanking you all for giving face."

Wen Yan eagerly continued, "This is the great day of victory for our group president, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, who means the Sixth Business Division is turning its downward trend and beginning to flourish! Congratulations!" ℯℓ.

Everyone smiled, whispered to each other, and nodded repeatedly.

"Lady Margery, the president of the Sixth Business Division, has some aftermath work to handle, so she couldn’t come, regrettably missing this event, but I want to congratulate her as well!" Wen Yan said, "Moreover, to everyone present—"

"All the esteemed vice chairmen here are the foundation pillars of the group; with you watching over things, the group is stable and secure."

"The presidents here are the backbone of the group; with your leadership, the group’s business can progress steadily."

"Mr. Bai Xiaosheng and Lady Margery were able to quickly resolve the Sixth Business Division’s crisis, thanks to the support and help from everyone here..."

Wen Yan’s words were impeccable, and everyone frequently nodded.

"Here, I propose we all raise our glasses together, to the group’s stability and prosperity, to Mr. Bai Xiaosheng’s great victory, and to an even brighter future, let us drink this toast!" Wen Yan raised his glass and said.

Everyone clapped in succession, raised their glasses, and drank together.

After drinking, Wen Yan signaled the waiters to refill everyone’s glasses, looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a smile and said, "Now let’s invite our meritorious person, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, to propose one."

In response, everyone looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

Vice Chairman Morgan slightly turned to one side, his eyes half-lowered, his expression a forced smile without sincerity.

On the other side, Caroline maintained a smile and looked at Bai Xiaosheng blandly.

No matter how resentful these two felt inside, they forever had their surface emotions under control.

Li Yunyuan and others also smiled as they focused on Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng held his glass, stood up, faced everyone’s gaze, paused for two seconds, then said, "First, I want to thank everyone, thank Mr. Wen Yan."

The crowd lightly applauded.

Once the applause subsided, Bai Xiaosheng touched his chest and said, "Actually, I have a lot on my mind, mixed emotions, I used to always think about sharing it with everyone. But now, at this opportunity, those words are stuck in my heart, stuck in my throat, as if there’s so much to say, yet seemingly, not knowing what to say anymore."

Everyone thought Bai Xiaosheng had so much to express, they couldn’t help but smile.

Bai Xiaosheng continued, "Compared to my so-called achievements, actually the ones who laid the foundation of our group are the ones truly worthy of a toast. Especially for the vice chairmen, without you there would be no group today, I think the old chairman entrusted you for one reason, gratitude, and another reason, to let you protect the group from defeat over a hundred years, truly becoming a world-class leading group."

When Bai Xiaosheng said this, even his look towards Vice Chairman Morgan seemed infinitely sincere.

This was also his heartfelt expression.

No matter how Vice Chairman Morgan is now, back in the day, the former Vice Chairman Morgan must have toiled hard for the group, putting in much effort.

When the past becomes the past, now he, Bai Xiaosheng, personally ends this vice chairman’s career at the group, he also wants to first express gratitude on behalf of his uncle.

Wen Yan understood Bai Xiaosheng’s words, feeling touched, couldn’t help but sigh quietly.

Vice Chairman Morgan’s eyebrows slightly lifted, momentarily also felt a bit sentimental, but it disappeared in a flash.

Caroline’s eyes flickered with a hint of cynicism, whether mocking Bai Xiaosheng’s pretended wisdom of age, or ridiculing how Mr. Morgan, the vice chairman, became a person dismantling the group’s platform.

Li Yunyuan and the vice chairmen beside him were somewhat dazed and a bit emotional from Bai Xiaosheng’s words.

"Now, our Vice Chairman Lu Cheng’an is hospitalized, which is another matter that pains me deeply, even dulling the joy of my return this time. Here, I want to use this cup of wine to wish him well. The rest, I’d rather not say." Bai Xiaosheng said and drank it all.

Everyone present, whether vice chairmen or presidents, felt touched in their hearts, and under Bai Xiaosheng’s call, they proactively picked up their glasses and drank the wine together.
