Chapter 2924: Chapter 2033: Nothing More to Say_2

Of course, a group of people including Li Yunyuan were genuinely sincere, while Vice Chairman Morgan and Caroline were simply conforming for appearances.

After downing this drink, Bai Xiaosheng also earned psychological recognition from more than seventy percent of the top executives at this table.

After all, grateful people are always seen as trustworthy.

Wen Yan smiled and nodded to Bai Xiaosheng, then addressed everyone, "Mr. Bai Xiaosheng has truly been considerate! From the latest information I received from the hospital, Mr. Lu Cheng’an’s condition is very stable, his subsequent treatment timely, and recovery will not be an issue. Vice Chairman Lu Cheng’an is a man of good fortune, so I believe he will certainly be blessed and return to us soon."

Over at the hospital, Wen Yan recently dispatched a team from the supervisory department to drive away any spies sent by others, and has taken measures to keep Lu Cheng’an’s condition confidential.

This is no longer simply an elderly person suddenly falling ill and being hospitalized. Given his status and duties, it’s hard to avoid entanglements of vested interests, drawing attention from all sides.

Especially concerning Vice Chairman Morgan, as Vice Chairman Lu Cheng’an’s health status greatly impacts them.

With Wen Yan’s words, Vice Chairman Morgan and Caroline couldn’t help but give him a deep look.

Not long ago, their people were blocked and their information cut off—it seems like the supervisory department’s handiwork.

However, even so, judging from the information they previously obtained, Lu Cheng’an absolutely could not leave the hospital anytime soon, even if he regained consciousness.

Wen Yan’s actions are merely a facade...

"Alright, now, let the feast begin." Wen Yan announced with a smile.

Although the banquet is claimed to be Huaxia-style, it actually follows a separate dining arrangement.

It’s not early now, and everyone is already quite hungry.

As dish after dish is brought out, everyone focuses on enjoying the food, whispering only to those nearby.

As the main course is served, Vice Chairman Morgan, while cutting the veal steak, leaned closer to Bai Xiaosheng, smiling softly, "Mr. Bai, I heard that before you returned, you investigated Kaleb. Is that true? Kaleb is set to be the future executive president of the Sixth Business Division!"

"Mr. Morgan, you’re joking, he’s not."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled at him, placing a piece of veal into his mouth, chewing slowly.

Vice Chairman Morgan’s steak was only one degree cooked, causing blood to seep out as he sliced it, yet he was satisfied to chew it with gusto.

Vice Chairman Morgan continued, "So did you find anything? If not, then he’s okay, and he will remain set to become the executive president of the Sixth Business Division."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, raised his glass to Vice Chairman Morgan, and said as he sipped, "That’s something he shouldn’t count on!"

"It seems you are very confident, did you perhaps make a significant discovery there?" Vice Chairman Morgan chuckled.

In reality, once they learned that Bai Xiaosheng planned to target Kaleb, they fully mobilized to eliminate any issues related to Kaleb.

Afterward, no matter how many groups Bai Xiaosheng sent into the enterprises led by Kaleb, they found nothing!

Nonetheless, Vice Chairman Morgan and Caroline weren’t sure whether Bai Xiaosheng held any prior insights.

"You will find out." Bai Xiaosheng smiled, without a hint of showing off. 𝐟𝒓ℯⅇ

Vice Chairman Morgan’s eyes flickered briefly, and he too laughed.

"Actually, I’ve always had high hopes for you." Vice Chairman Morgan leaned a bit closer, "I’ve almost watched you climb step by step from the bottom to where you are today, and you’ve achieved this in just a few years, which is truly commendable! I genuinely wish to see you achieve even greater heights once us old guys step down. However, sometimes, one shouldn’t challenge forces beyond one’s capacity, nor choose the wrong path, as it could easily ruin one’s life."

"So, in your opinion, am I on the right path or the wrong one?" Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes were bright, neither shying away nor avoiding, as he stared into Vice Chairman Morgan’s eyes.

Vice Chairman Morgan and Bai Xiaosheng held each other’s gaze for two or three seconds before breaking into a laugh, and returning his focus to his steak.

"Mr. Bai, you know, I’m fond of raising dogs—Caucasians, Rottweilers, Dobermans, I have them all."

Vice Chairman Morgan said, "I love watching them run in packs, hunting for me. But you know, some dogs are extremely unsociable, thinking themselves exceedingly smart, believing they can escape all controls."

"What do you think I should do?"

"I ensure they are beaten until they’re bleeding and bruised at their most arrogant moments, cast them out from the kennel into a destitute wilderness, stripping them of everything, even their meal bowls are not safe."

"Once they realize survival is more important than dignity, I might take them back, letting them serve me again, but I will never allow them back into that beautiful kennel. I will place them in some of my other private locations, continuing to let those repentant mutts serve me."

Vice Chairman Morgan asked with a smile, "Do you think I’m doing the right thing?"

In Vice Chairman Morgan’s plan, expelling Bai Xiaosheng from the group was essential; having him imprisoned would be ideal.

Though ideal and reality often differ, with people like Li Yunyuan’s intervention, and others potentially sacrificing benefits to get them to back off.

Vice Chairman Morgan is a businessman, and as long as the benefits are substantial, he sees no reason to refuse.

If Bai Xiaosheng were ousted from the group, Morgan thought he could allow Bai Xiaosheng to pledge allegiance again.

After all, this young man is quite extraordinary.

"I think Mr. Morgan is playing with fire." Bai Xiaosheng said without looking up, "One day, your throat will be torn apart."

Finishing his statement, Bai Xiaosheng looked up at Vice Chairman Morgan with a smile, saying, "We have a saying, ’Heaven does not favor, treating all things like straw dogs,’ meaning that, in the eyes of the heavens, all things are equal. You are not as great as the heavens, so don’t think you can control or fool everything, or else you’ll end up digging your own grave."

Bai Xiaosheng’s response was more like a strong refusal!

He scorns any opportunity!

Fight to the end!

Vice Chairman Morgan couldn’t help but nod repeatedly, his gaze cold, "Very well, then!"

With this, Vice Chairman Morgan resolved that, no matter the interfering forces attempting to mediate, he would give no face and, at the cost of losses, deliver the most brutal outcome to Bai Xiaosheng!

After these words, the two no longer spoke, each focusing on their meal, not even looking at each other!

In fact, while they conversed, others paid attention to them."

Wen Yan, Caroline, Jiang Kuo, Soruns, and even Li Yunyuan glanced at them multiple times.

Though unaware of what they whispered, they all sensed the atmosphere had shifted!

As for the other attendees, they, too, sensed something yet pretended ignorance, and whatever they thought was more unknown.

The welcoming dinner ended within an hour and a half.

Each person present wasn’t idling; they still had plenty of matters to handle, so after eating, they departed separately.

Wen Yan and Bai Xiaosheng walked together toward the hotel’s downstairs, discussing Bai Xiaosheng’s words with Vice Chairman Morgan when alone.

After understanding, Wen Yan sighed, "This time, you truly angered this old lion, a clash to the death is inevitable! "

"There hasn’t been a path for retreat for a long time."

Bai Xiaosheng said, "The hint he gave, saying there’s a chance for me, was merely to shake my resolve."

Wen Yan laughed, "You didn’t fall for it, unfortunately."

Bai Xiaosheng was unwilling to elaborate further on this topic, saying, "Tomorrow is the monthly routine meeting, at ten in the morning, truly a good opportunity and time, the spirit is strong! "

Wen Yan slowly said, "Tomorrow, our acting chairman Bai Xuanyu will also be returning!"

Bai Xiaosheng paused and asked, "Is his arrival beneficial for us?"

Wen Yan said nothing.

He merely shook his head imperceptibly.
