Chapter 2560: Chapter 1870: Yang Yishan’s Concern
Bai Xiaosheng finished his call with Hou Yuncheng, grabbed a quick dinner, gave some instructions to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, and then sat in front of his computer to handle some affairs.
At present, Bai Xiaosheng is not only the leader of half of the Huaxia Business Group, responsible for handling group affairs, but also the Executive President of Zhenbei Group’s Greater China Region, the second-in-command of Zhenbei Group’s headquarters’ monitoring department. Privately, he owns over a dozen companies, with various matters needing attention. Even if each place has a little, the accumulation is still overwhelming.
Even though Bai Xiaosheng never likes to take total control and strives to employ heads capable of handling matters independently, there are still many things that require his personal review and approval.
Being in his position, this is inevitable.
Fortunately, Bai Xiaosheng has Red Lotus, this artificial intelligence, to assist him; otherwise, he’d be even busier and overwhelmed.
While Bai Xiaosheng was sitting in front of the computer, doors closed, intently handling affairs, he suddenly heard the buzzing sound from his phone placed nearby.
Bai Xiaosheng had been busy all day without rest, feeling a bit tired, he stretched lazily, thinking of taking a break.
He picked up his phone, glanced at who was calling, and then stood up to walk to the balcony and answer it.
"Hello, Miss Yang? Calling so late, is something the matter?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.
The caller was indeed Yang Yishan.
The Yang Family had just signed a large cooperation agreement with the Huaxia Business Group. Although Bai Xiaosheng had arranged everything, some things might still need his communication.
Bai Xiaosheng assumed Yang Yishan was calling about a matter of cooperation.
On the other end, Yang Yishan could naturally glean Bai Xiaosheng’s implied meaning, and she laughed, "Mr. Bai, your contacts have already been in touch with me. The documents have been delivered, and all the contracts are fine. The partners have left us very satisfied. Furthermore, the merchants in your business group who previously collaborated with us sent messages indicating that they would lower some conditions in the second phase of cooperation as gratitude for our actions here in Karan. For this, we, the Yang Family, are also very grateful."
The implication of Yang Yishan’s words was that everything was going smoothly, which meant there were no issues.
Bai Xiaosheng chuckled, "No issues, that’s good! In fact, each of us hopes to engage in deep, friendly, and win-win cooperation with the Yang Family. We Huaxia merchants never mistreat friends in our dealings."
Yang Yishan immediately chuckled and agreed.
Subsequently, the two chatted about the business circles in Karan, but it was not urgent matters.
Finally, Yang Yishan changed the subject, "Mr. Bai, I learned something from a friend in the Karan business circle today. I’m uncertain whether I should tell you."
For Yang Yishan to hesitate seemed unusual, piquing Bai Xiaosheng’s curiosity.
"Feel free to share, Miss Yang, it’s no problem," Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.
He wondered what Yang Yishan intended to say that prompted such hesitation.
Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng pondered if her friend in Karan’s business circle was the same person as before.
Could it be that woman named Lisa?
According to local customs, the subsequent investigation doesn’t seem to involve female merchants...
On the phone, after a brief hesitation, Yang Yishan said, "I’ve heard from a friend that Mr. Bai encountered some unexpected situations during an inspection. Fortunately, you had a skilled bodyguard with you, otherwise, you might have been in danger."
Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback but then understood.
What Yang Yishan referred to was the incident outside Milo’s company that day.
"Even Miss Yang knows about this? It wasn’t serious, really, not dangerous at all," Bai Xiaosheng answered with a smile.
"Mr. Bai should still be more cautious!" Hearing Bai Xiaosheng’s nonchalant attitude, Yang Yishan urgently added, "And also that Mr. Milo, you have to be extra careful!"
"Oh, why?" Bai Xiaosheng asked curiously.
Yang Yishan paused, "I just heard he’s somewhat of a womanizer, and since you have a pretty female assistant, I’m concerned it might cause trouble."
Bai Xiaosheng immediately understood; Yang Yishan might have heard about the incident involving Milo.
In fact, Bai Xiaosheng had suspected it at the time.
However, Milo’s frantic rush to assist Lei Ying was genuine, otherwise, Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t have easily let it go.
In retrospect, Bai speculated that perhaps Milo hired a group of people to stage some hero-rescue-beauty ploy, which ended poorly.
To be frank, Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t too bothered by it. After all, it caused them little trouble, a minor scene at most.
Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng later used it as a pretext to pressure Milo on the pricing, and Milo tactfully took a silent loss.
"Alright, Miss Yang, I’ve noted what you said, and I appreciate your concern," Bai Xiaosheng replied sincerely.
After all, Yang Yishan specially called for his sake, deserving an acknowledgment.
Perhaps feeling that Bai Xiaosheng didn’t fully grasp the gravity of the situation, Yang Yishan anxiously added, "Mr. Bai, listen to me, that Milo has an extraordinary background. You must be cautious around him and avoid any conflict, especially when you’re heading to the Oshan Chieftaincy..."
Her words made Bai Xiaosheng’s heart skip. He knew Milo wasn’t simple but hadn’t uncovered his true background.
From her tone, it seemed Yang Yishan knew more.
As Bai Xiaosheng was eager to hear about Milo’s background, his call with Yang Yishan was suddenly interrupted by another ringing phone.
For businesspeople like Yang Yishan, carrying two or three phones isn’t unusual.
"Mr. Bai, I’m sorry, I have to take this call. It’s my father, and it must be something urgent given the time," she said quickly.
"Miss Yang, go ahead," Bai Xiaosheng replied.
Before hanging up, Yang Yishan reminded, "Mr. Bai, that Milo is really not simple, remember to avoid conflict with him at all costs!"
With that, she ended the call.
Putting the phone down, Bai Xiaosheng glanced at it and couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.
Rather than issuing that last reminder, it would have been nice if Yang Yishan had directly told him what Milo’s background was.
"Oh well, no matter what his background is, things here have already wrapped up," Bai Xiaosheng murmured, shrugging before putting the phone away.
Returning to his computer, Bai Xiaosheng steadied his mind and focused on resolving the remaining affairs before taking a rest.
In the next three days, Bai Xiaosheng led the team through the entire inspection plan.
However, Milo didn’t show up in the latter days, replaced by the head of Karan’s commercial department.
According to that person, Milo had some urgent family matters, prompting his sudden departure.
But before leaving, Milo asked him to convey his regards to Bai Xiaosheng’s side.
Regarding Milo’s background, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t ask the person in charge. Firstly, for fear of making it awkward for them, and secondly, to avoid seeming too concerned, risking losing his stature.
After all inspections were completed, Bai Xiaosheng summarized the signed agreements and cooperation outcomes, reporting to Hou Yuncheng, and prepared for departure to Oklandt City in the Oshan Chieftaincy.
Coincidentally, that city was also where the Yang Family resided.
On a fresh, new day, in the morning, Bai Xiaosheng and his companions boarded the plane amidst farewells from various circles in Karan, flying to Oshan.
