Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1583: Chapter 1335: With Me Here, You Can Rest Assured

After the banquet, Bai Xiaosheng returned to his residence, slightly tipsy. He had drunk quite a bit, but he also reached many cooperation intentions, which could be considered a fruitful outcome.

As soon as Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying returned, they hurried to their respective rooms to organize the notes they had taken. They planned to hand over these cooperation intentions to their business group when they arrived, allowing them to filter and negotiate following the actual situation.

Regarding business cooperation, Bai Xiaosheng only handles the big picture. He does not interfere with the specific details or the process of business negotiations.

At most, when there are results, Bai Xiaosheng will listen to a report during the crucial decision-making stages of significant matters.

This is the appropriate demeanor for someone in a high position.

Otherwise, if he has to get involved in everything and question everything, what would that accomplish? Firstly, it could exhaust him, and secondly, what would be the purpose of the high-ranking personnel under his management? This would also reflect a lack of respect for the people below him.

One should do what is appropriate for their position. Sometimes, this is not a criticism but an observation.

Over the years, Bai Xiaosheng has not only been busy with his duties but also continuously learning how to become a manager, a leader.

For this reason, he even had Red Lotus specifically design various tutorials for him, which he used to learn during his spare time.

Furthermore, whenever significant changes occurred within the group or major business news surfaced externally, Bai Xiaosheng treated them as "quizzes," asking Red Lotus to create questions. As a leader, he would think through and make decisions, then have Red Lotus grade and critique him, and he would also reflect on himself. noveldrama

Red Lotus, this super artificial intelligence, was unexpectedly used by Bai Xiaosheng as a textbook, considered as a teacher.

Even the developer probably did not foresee that, apart from the predetermined auxiliary functions, someone would use smart AI in this way.

This is also why, when Bai Xiaosheng took the position of Executive President of the Greater China Region, Xiahou Qi felt he was more than capable, and Soruns also found Bai Xiaosheng continually surprising because he has been in preparation for this role for "more than just a day or two."

Currently, Bai Xiaosheng has been delegating power significantly, making him appear "idle."

As a result, he had time to call Kevin, telling the Kevin Siblings not to worry, as the situation had already taken a turn for the better.

In Bai Xiaosheng’s view, today, he had given enough face to Old Hawk and the Hawk Family, so tomorrow the Hawk Family would show their sincerity. Then, with a bit more follow-up, Kelson’s crisis would be resolved.

He dialed the phone number for Kevin and waited patiently.

Soon, it connected.

"Hello, is that Sheng?" Kevin’s voice came through, hoarse and with a hint of an aged, powerless fragility.

Bai Xiaosheng was startled.

Speaking of which, Kevin was Chen Jiuzheng’s classmate, not young. Compared to Bai Xiaosheng, he’s an older brother figure, almost of the older generation.

Kevin’s younger sister, Ariel, was about the same age as Bai Xiaosheng. When they first met, Bai Xiaosheng even joked privately about how "impressive" Kevin’s parents must be.

Though Kevin was slightly balding, making him appear a bit mature, many foreigners also experience early balding. He still had his looks, with a robust physique, and spoke with steadiness and strength.

In truth, to Asians, foreigners’ ages are hard to decipher – facial hair alone can make a person look twenty or thirty years older...

Sometimes, when Kevin refreshed himself and shaved his beard, during video calls with filters, Bai Xiaosheng would almost feel as if he were talking to a peer.

Unexpectedly, Kevin had turned into such a state now!

Bai Xiaosheng felt uneasy just listening.

"How are things on your end?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.

On the other end, Kevin gave a quiet, bitter laugh, and with a hoarse voice, sighed deeply, "Still holding on, but... I’m afraid we can’t hold on much longer!"

"The final ultimatum from our opponents, coupled with internal discord, has brought us to the brink of collapse!"

"No matter how hard Ariel and I try, I’m afraid we can’t turn the tide!"

Kevin, in a tone mournful to the point of despair, said, "By tomorrow, Kelson might cease to exist!"

"Don’t worry. It won’t happen," Bai Xiaosheng quickly comforted.

Kevin thought Bai Xiaosheng’s words were only a comfort to him and immediately offered a bitter smile, "This crisis erupted so suddenly. Our opponent is relentless in wanting to either acquire us or crush us! The disparity in strength is vast; our efforts are like trying to put out a fire with a cup of water. Even if we ask for help from you or others, it wouldn’t change anything! They haven’t even given us enough time to seek help within the latest twelve-hour ultimatum!"

Kevin let out a long sigh, seemingly truly in despair.

"Perhaps now only a miracle, only God, can save us!"

If this had happened a decade, or even five years ago, Kevin, after such a heavy blow, would still dare claim that he could rise again after a fall. But with age, those grand ambitions had quietly eroded away.

If Kelson fell, he feared he would fall as well, along with Ariel who would also suffer. The siblings would bear a mountainous debt.

It’s not lifelong ruin, but it might be close!

At that time, it would be a choice between life and death!

Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t even managed to assure there was a turning point before, when suddenly Kevin, like having a final spur of motivation, became energized, his tone turning urgent and forceful—

"Bai Xiaosheng, as a friend, I want to ask you one last thing!"

"If tomorrow, Kelson falls, I will send Ariel to you for help. Please arrange for her to go to Huaxia and take her in, don’t let her return here!"
