Chapter 1835: Chapter 1453: Not an Ordinary Person

Wang Helei pretended to make a move in front of everyone, but if Bai Xiaosheng hadn’t remained calm and Lei Ying restrained, Wang Helei might have been the one embarrassed.

Turning a fight into a handshake really surprised everyone watching.

Those in the meeting room who noticed were all taken aback.

The Dong siblings, Dong Tianlu and Dong Tianxiu, were equally speechless.

“What is Wang Helei trying to do?!” Dong Tianlu couldn’t help but ask.

Dong Tianxiu also expressed complete confusion.

In the distance, Ma Tianqing was riding high on excitement until suddenly realizing the scene wasn’t following his expected script, leaving him stunned.

“That bastard Wang Helei, what is he doing?!”

Ma Tianqing then hit his own thigh in frustration and anger.

Of course, Ma Tianqing still believed that idiot Wang Helei chickened out at the last minute, not thinking anything else of it.

At this moment, Wang Helei looked at Bai Xiaosheng, his deep brown eyes behind large glasses appeared particularly profound. He shook Bai Xiaosheng’s hand and then withdrew.

“Are you really Bai Xiaosheng, the Executive President of the Greater China Region of Zhenbei Group?!” Wang Helei asked.

Ma Tianqing thought he wouldn’t know this name, but Wang Helei knew it very well!

“I suppose Ma Tianqing didn’t mention this to you?” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, “Have you heard of me?”

“Renowned and illustrious!” Wang Helei laughed, “It’s an honor to meet Mr. Bai. Just now, that was just a harmless joke, I hope Mr. Bai will not take it to heart, and please visit Haoyu Group when you have time!”

Lin Weiwei looked at the suddenly gentlemanly Wang Helei with a strange expression.

How come he suddenly seems normal?

This demeanor doesn’t match the ‘daddy’s boy’ image at all.

Lei Ying also reevaluated him.

“Mr. Wang, I’ll remember your invitation and will visit when there’s a chance,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

“In front of Mr. Bai, I wouldn’t dare to be called Mr. Wang, just call me Wang Helei,” Wang Helei said with a smile, “The meeting is about to start, so I won’t intrude any longer.”

After speaking, Wang Helei nodded slightly towards Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, then turned and left.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others watched him go.

“What’s going on, this guy…why is he acting like a completely different person?” Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but say.

“He hasn’t changed; he’s always been like this,” Bai Xiaosheng gave a deep look at Wang Helei’s back, “Only he is smart enough to know that pretending in front of me is meaningless!”

The whole ‘daddy’s boy’ thing was just a façade of Wang Helei!

This guy is very shrewd!

Ma Tianqing thought he could deceive him and use him as a tool.

Unbeknownst to him, he had long been seen through.

However, Wang Helei still acted according to Ma Tianqing’s wishes, showing Bai Xiaosheng and the others his ‘simpleton’ and ‘naïve’ side, implicitly suggesting Dong Tianlu was unreliable, thus putting a needle and a thorn in whatever Dong Tianlu discussed with Bai Xiaosheng.

You can’t fully trust Dong Tianlu, not even as an ally. Hence Wang Helei subtly incited.

Beyond that, Wang Helei also followed Ma Tianqing’s script to provoke Bai Xiaosheng, but he didn’t intend to humiliate Bai Xiaosheng; rather, he wanted Bai Xiaosheng to lose control and hit him.

In this way, if Bai Xiaosheng got violent on the spot, it would damage his reputation and affect his candidacy, contributing to his side’s plan.

At the same time, Wang Helei wouldn’t deeply offend Bai Xiaosheng.

If he, as a ‘simpleton’, acted rashly, Bai Xiaosheng would feel guilty towards the Wang family in the future.

Besides, with his disguise, no one on the scene knew his identity, even if he got hit, he wouldn’t lose face or tarnish the Wang family’s reputation.

Moreover, before acting, he established an image of being deceived and misled by Ma Tianqing, making it easier for the Wang family and Bai Xiaosheng to resolve any ‘misunderstandings’, while Bai Xiaosheng would direct all his resentment towards Ma Tianqing!

After all, it was Ma Tianqing who was the troublemaker!

Wang Helei’s scheming was on a whole different level from Ma Tianqing’s!

Previously, even Dong Tianlu thought he was a waste of space.

And Wang Helei’s acting was good enough to deceive anyone, except Bai Xiaosheng.

No matter how well Wang Helei acted, it was ultimately just an act; subtleties betrayed his ‘truth’.

Bai Xiaosheng also discerned from his words that he inadvertently ‘revealed’ Dong Tianlu and ‘exposed’ Ma Tianqing, further confirming things.

Also, to Bai Xiaosheng, it seemed Wang Helei was making a big show but holding back.

Bai Xiaosheng saw through it, so he didn’t dodge.

Lei Ying also saw it, hence didn’t retaliate.

In the end, what could have been a fight turned into a handshake.

Regarding these matters, Bai Xiaosheng picked out the crucial parts and in a mosquito-whispered voice informed Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying beside him.

“I really didn’t see that this person is so deep!” Lin Weiwei exclaimed, her gaze intense, watching Wang Helei.

Meanwhile, Lin Weiwei also noticed Ma Tianqing lurking in the corner.

“That guy named Ma is over there!” Lin Weiwei said, shocked and angry.

Bai Xiaosheng naturally saw it too, his eyes slightly cold.

As Ma Tianqing met their gazes, he immediately flinched.

“Do you need me to get rid of him?” Lei Ying asked.

That person was an eyesore here.

“No need for you to do it personally, let the security lead them out.” Bai Xiaosheng said calmly.

Such a trivial matter isn’t worth their attention.

Zhengdong Province’s secretary was present, just tell him to handle it.

As for how to treat Wang Helei when sending Ma Tianqing away…

Bai Xiaosheng guessed that Wang Helei, once back, would continue pretending to be dumb, and even if not invited to leave, he would leave with Ma Tianqing.

So in that case, might as well send both away together.

With Wang Helei’s intelligence, he would understand that Bai Xiaosheng was giving him a cover.

Consider it as a small act of goodwill.

Bai Xiaosheng softly instructed, and Lei Ying went to execute it.

Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but murmur from the side, “Then, what about Dong Tianlu?”

“Dong Tianlu…” Bai Xiaosheng savored her name and smiled at Lin Weiwei, “For the sake of Tianxiu, I wouldn’t do anything to her anyway. Besides…”

Bai Xiaosheng said meaningfully, “She’s a pure businesswoman, which I admire.”

In the business world, there are no permanent enemies, nor permanent friends, only permanent interests.

That woman adheres to this principle!

So it’s not impossible to negotiate!

As Bai Xiaosheng spoke, Lin Weiwei naturally nodded.

A moment later, Lei Ying returned and simply said, “Taken care of.”

While the three conversed, Wang Helei also returned to Ma Tianqing’s side.

“Mr. Wang, what are you doing! Why didn’t you take action?” Ma Tianqing asked, barely containing his anger.

“I really wanted to hit him back then, but his eyes were terrifying, he glared at me, and I didn’t dare make a move.” Wang Helei said gloomily, “Scared me more than my dad does.”

Ma Tianqing sighed heavily in frustration.

Actually, he had exchanged looks with Bai Xiaosheng and knew first-hand how intimidating Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze could be when angry.

“Otherwise, Mr. Ma, why don’t you show me how it’s done?” Wang Helei suggested.

Ma Tianqing was rendered speechless, somewhat awkwardly saying, “You’ve already been revealed; if I go now, I’m sure they’ll be prepared…”

Wang Helei silently sneered to himself.

Ma Tianqing incited him to face Bai Xiaosheng, but didn’t dare himself, there must be a reason.

The emotions in Ma Tianqing’s eyes betrayed fear, Bai Xiaosheng must have dealt with him decisively before.

“If you don’t go either, then what was the point of coming here?” Wang Helei teased deliberately.

Just as Ma Tianqing was at a loss for words, two security guards from Shengsheng International came over and politely asked them to step outside.

From the look of it, they clearly weren’t going to let them stay any longer.

Ma Tianqing took the easy route, obediently agreeing, as he certainly couldn’t publicly argue with the security guards.

The two of them left.

However, Ma Tianqing left feeling somewhat dejected, while Wang Helei, as he departed, gave a deep, subtle smile in Bai Xiaosheng’s direction.

At this moment, the host took the stage again and announced loudly—

“Everyone, please return to your seats, the second half of the meeting is about to begin!”
