Chapter 1845: Chapter 1459: No Need for Thanks Among Us

Dong Tianxiu’s phone call sparked some imaginations in Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying. Even if Dong Tianlu had no ulterior motives toward Bai Xiaosheng, her sister was indeed not someone to underestimate!

Bai Xiaosheng answered Dong Tianxiu’s call with a smile, “I guess you’re calling to invite me to dinner, right?”

Aside from everything else, Bai Xiaosheng and Dong Tianxiu were friends, and when friends are at your doorstep, it’s only right to invite them for a meal.

From the other side of the line came a woman’s enchanting laughter, followed by an incredibly delightful voice, “So, Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, will you accept?”

Bai Xiaosheng was startled, then understood. It was a call from Dong Tianxiu, but Dong Tianlu was the one who called him.

Sure enough, a background voice came from the other end of the call, “Bai Xiaosheng, you agreed, right? Let’s make sure we meet tonight.”

This time, it was Dong Tianxiu’s voice.

“I figured, as an elder sister, making this phone call myself shows sincerity. Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, I’ll send a car to pick you up later,” Dong Tianlu said with a laugh.

The Wang family, led by Wang Helei, could find where Bai Xiaosheng and his group were staying, and naturally, so could the Dong family, a giant in the Tianhu area.

Bai Xiaosheng also laughed, not refusing, “That would be very kind of you.”

On the phone, Bai Xiaosheng and Dong Tianlu chatted briefly for a few minutes.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaosheng smiled at Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, “Looks like our dinner is sorted.”

“With Dong Tianxiu’s sister being so eager to invite you over, doesn’t she have some ulterior motives…” Lin Weiwei muttered, her big eyes fixed on Bai Xiaosheng.

Having ulterior motives is certain!

From his conversation with Wang Helei, Bai Xiaosheng had already known that just like Haoyu, Beifeng wasn’t a die-hard ally of Yuema, their calculations were more about benefits.

It’s likely that Dong Tianlu had the same intention as Wang Helei, wanting to figure out his real thoughts and see if they could cooperate with the Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region.

And Bai Xiaosheng’s thoughts were straightforward. As long as the intention was to collaborate, he would welcome it.

While undermining Yuema, he was actively laying the groundwork for Tengyun’s “rebuilding.”

While thinking about these things, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but reveal a subtle smile.

Lin Weiwei glanced askance at Bai Xiaosheng, with a look of “all men are heartless” on her face.

Lei Ying smiled and said nothing.

He knew that the two of them had a misunderstanding when it came to the term “ulterior motives.”

However, suffice it to say, he didn’t want to interrupt…

Afterward, Bai Xiaosheng got up to return to his room to call Lu Yun and inform him of the latest “developments” there, so that he could plan some things in advance and be prepared.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying followed behind Bai Xiaosheng and left too.

Of course, the two went back to their respective rooms.

After returning to his room, Bai Xiaosheng closed the door and called Lu Yun, informing him of the settling of Shengsheng International’s troubles and his meetings with Wang Helei and Dong Tianlu, along with his judgments and thoughts.

Regarding the issue with Shengsheng International, Bai Xiaosheng was sure Zhengdong Province must have already informed Lu Yun, so he glossed over it, mainly discussing the latter matters.

Once Bai Xiaosheng finished speaking, Lu Yun remained silent on the other end.

“Uncle Lu, what do you think?” Bai Xiaosheng tentatively asked.

Bai Xiaosheng thought that undermining Yuema’s allies was perfectly fine.

But he was considering the idea of his enterprise collaborating with Haoyu and Beifeng, becoming a bridge to let Tengyun discreetly get involved and thereby rebuild the commercial empire – wasn’t this somewhat idealistic?

After all, Tengyun had been hit hard, nearly collapsing. Would immediately forming cooperative ties with Haoyu and even Beifeng Holdings prove to be too much for Lu Yun to accept or even resist, considering his level-headedness?

What if Lu Yun didn’t want to?

The fact proved that Bai Xiaosheng’s worries were somewhat unnecessary, as Lu Yun’s voice soon emerged over the phone.

“Great!” Lu Yun’s voice was full of emotion, and his tone was brimming with gratitude, “Sheng, I truly didn’t expect you to think so much for Tengyun! Not only are you helping us deal with enemy forces, but also contemplating helping us rebuild! I’m really…”

Even someone as rational as Lu Yun found it hard to continue.

“Uncle Lu, you’re being too polite!” Bai Xiaosheng laughed, “Back in Tiannan, I was just an unknown young man, but you always favored me. All your care for me, I remember! If I want to do something for Tengyun, it’s merely my way of repaying Tengyun and you!”

“And besides,” Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, “I’m just a businessman. Collaborating with Tengyun, with Haoyu, with Beifeng, is all for profit, so no need to worry too much.”

This was Bai Xiaosheng comforting Lu Yun.

Lu Yun laughed heartily, “Okay, fine, let’s not say ‘thank you.’ I agree with everything you’ve said, and I’ll adjust my plans according to your thoughts!”

“If Ma Zongting finds out his allies have defected, he’ll go mad! Just thinking about it makes me relieved!” Lu Yun laughed loudly.

Later on, Bai Xiaosheng and Lu Yun discussed their plans through the phone conversation.

As they hung up, both were feeling quite satisfied.

Feeling uplifted, Bai Xiaosheng tossed his phone aside, planning to take a hot shower to relax a bit.

Meanwhile, over at Lu Yun’s side, he immediately summoned Lu Qingfeng and Lu Wenqian, sharing Bai Xiaosheng’s plans and the upcoming moves from the Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region.

The Lu siblings were quite taken aback.

However, they had no opposition to Bai Xiaosheng’s plans.

Ultimately, the Lu family’s teaching was formidable, fostering an ability to turn adversaries into partners, which wasn’t cultivated overnight.

Lu Qingfeng sincerely expressed to Lu Yun, “You’ve always said Bai Xiaosheng was better than me, better than Dong Province. I wasn’t so convinced before, but now I feel Bai Xiaosheng is truly extraordinary, like a prodigy. We shouldn’t just be friends with him; we should also learn from him!”

Watching Lu Qingfeng in such a state, Lu Yun’s smile deepened, feeling a profound sense of satisfaction.

Setting aside whatever arrangements the Lu family made, Bai Xiaosheng took a hot shower, changed into comfortable clothes, and went downstairs to take a stroll around the area.

The area around Bai Xiaosheng’s hotel was a bustling commercial district, full of high-end office buildings and shopping malls.

As Bai Xiaosheng leisurely walked in front of a business building, a group of people suddenly poured out.

A person in a gray trench coat walked at the forefront, closely followed by a well-dressed man in a suit, with others hurrying behind.

The man in the suit persistently pleaded with the one in the gray trench coat, “Mr. Mo, my family’s master still needs your help for his illness. Your friend’s private clinic here is renowned far and wide, and even he said only you could cure our family’s master, so we must implore you!”

“It’s not that I don’t want to help, but my medical skills are truly not as great as you think. If you wish to see a doctor, you should…” As he spoke, the man in the gray trench coat glanced up and saw Bai Xiaosheng, and Bai Xiaosheng inadvertently noticed him too.

Both were taken aback.

The man in the gray trench coat was someone Bai Xiaosheng recognized.

It was the man who, along with him and Dong Tianxiu, had saved a boy on the plane.

Bai Xiaosheng had even consoled him and remembered his name, which was quite unique, called Mo Ziyue.

Upon seeing Bai Xiaosheng, Mo Ziyue’s eyes brightened immediately, and he pointed at Bai Xiaosheng, saying to the people beside him, “If you want to cure the illness, you must convince him!”
