Inheritance of Two Trillion
Chapter 531

Chapter 531: 531

After seeing off Mayor Dai Mingcheng of Tianqing City, Bai Xiaosheng also bid farewell to Ji Mingyang and returned to the company.

Arriving at Zhongjing Media, Bai Xiaosheng summoned Lin Weiwei, Song Yiming, Lei Ying, and Song Jiajia, gave them instructions, and told them he would be away for the next few days to celebrate his elder’s birthday. He asked them to keep an eye on things.

Everyone expressed that they would do their respective duties and wouldn’t slack off.

After making arrangements, Bai Xiaosheng had Feng drive him to the well-known Porcelain City in Zhongjing.

Through his father Bai Minghang’s introduction, Bai Xiaosheng knew that his uncle enjoyed tasting tea and zisha teapots.

Thus, he spent tens of thousands to buy a master-level handmade zisha teapot as a birthday gift.

Anything more expensive was unnecessary.

Having bought the zisha teapot, Bai Xiaosheng then went to a mall and purchased some tonics.

Only then did he let Feng drive him home.

The entire ride was silent.

Arriving at the entrance of his residential complex, and seeing that it was getting dark, Bai Xiaosheng, to be safe, let Feng leave first and declined his offer to help carry things.

"I won’t keep you for dinner; I’ll treat you some other time," Bai Xiaosheng said to Feng with a smile, while holding his purchases.

"Mr. Bai, you’re too kind! Then I’ll be leaving," Feng said, feeling both honored and intimidated by his leader’s words.

"Drive safely," Bai Xiaosheng added with another reminder.

"Yes, yes!" Feng nodded vigorously.

Watching the Maybach drive away, Bai Xiaosheng hurried home.

When he arrived, both Li Qiuyun and Bai Minghang were there.

The couple was delighted to see their son return.

Bai Xiaosheng rested for a short while before carrying the tonics to visit his grandmother Li Fengguan.

Bai Minghang and his wife followed him there.

Upon arrival, they found the place bustling; several uncles were present, Bai Fei and Bai Ran were there too, along with other brothers and sisters. The only person missing was Bai Shuanglei.

Regarding Bai Shuanglei, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t inquire, and naturally, no one else brought it up.

However, Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt from the Bai Family looked somewhat embarrassed when they saw Bai Xiaosheng.

"Sheng, it’s been a while since you came home!"

As soon as Bai Xiaosheng arrived, Li Fengguan was so happy she couldn’t stop smiling. Holding Bai Xiaosheng’s hands, she inspected him, "Hmm, you look thinner! Work is important, but you must pay attention to your health too!"

"Look at you, where have I lost weight? I’ve only been gaining these days," Bai Xiaosheng replied cheerfully.

There’s a kind of thinness called ’your grandmother thinks you’ve lost weight’...

"Sheng!"

By the side, Bai Fei and Bai Ran greeted Bai Xiaosheng with smiles, their gazes filled with subtly hidden respect.

If even they were like this, the other peers, watching Bai Xiaosheng from a distance, were even more in awe.

Before Bai Xiaosheng’s return, Bai Fei and Bai Ran had been the most outstanding members of the younger generation in the Bai Family; however, after his return to Zhongjing, they were outshone.

Now, they couldn’t even hold a candle to him.

But after the incident with Bai Shuanglei, both Bai Fei and Bai Ran genuinely admired Bai Xiaosheng and were in awe of his seemingly divine career advancement speed in the workplace.

The position of vice president of Zhongjing Media was something to be proud of!

As for Bai Xiaosheng stirring up storms in Zhongjing, these two were actually not clear on the details.

They might be high-level white-collar workers, but they were ultimately not qualified to mix in certain circles.

The way Bai Xiaosheng crushed the Yin Family, all they saw was Zhongjing Media boldly exposing issues with the Zhongjing Haoran project.

Bai Xiaosheng’s dealings with the Zhang Family didn’t make it into many reports—those were topics of private discussions within certain circles.

Bai Xiaosheng became the General Manager of Zhongjing Media, but he didn’t publicize it.

The Zhongjing Media Industry Alliance didn’t even have a plaque, nor did they hold a grand meeting, so outsiders naturally had no way of knowing.

Bai Xiaosheng became a distinguished guest of the mayor, and people here were even less aware.

However, even so, Bai Fei and Bai Ran still regarded Bai Xiaosheng as a role model and idol, taking pride in him.

"Bai Fei, Bai Ran," Bai Xiaosheng greeted them warmly when he saw the two.

The matter concerning Bai Shuanglei had changed Bai Xiaosheng’s impression of these two people. He had come to admire Bai Ran’s courage and cleverness, and his impression of Bai Fei had significantly improved.

Afterward, Bai Xiaosheng called home and learned that Bai Fei’s temperament had greatly changed. He became very attentive to family affairs, no longer nitpicking, and even made weekly visits to see Grandmother Li Fengguan.

For this, Bai Xiaosheng felt even more admiration.

"Is it just the three of us from our generation who will be following this time?" Bai Xiaosheng inquired.

"Exactly," Bai Ran replied with a nod and a smile.

"Just us three among the younger ones. All the uncles and aunts are going," Bai Fei added with a laugh, "This time, among the three of us, you hold the highest honor. You’re there to back us up!"

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but chuckle, "What backing up? We’re all family; there’s no need for such formalities."

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng speak like this, Bai Fei’s smile shifted ever so slightly. It seemed he had more to say, yet perhaps due to the presence of others, he restrained himself, "Anyway, I’m relieved that you can join us!"

A thought crossed Bai Xiaosheng’s mind.

It seemed his cousin had more to say.

It wasn’t convenient to ask or discuss, so Bai Xiaosheng had to let it go for the time being.

Li Fengguan pulled Bai Xiaosheng aside for a private talk.

Shortly after, someone knocked on the door.

Upon opening it, a group entered— the chefs and staff from the restaurant where they celebrated the old lady’s birthday last time, arriving to provide service again, with tables, chairs, wine, and dishes delivered to the doorstep.

Having come more than once, these people were familiar with the job and got straight to work.

The dinner party began, bustling with excitement.

Bai Xiaosheng sat next to Grandma, helping her with serving food.

The old lady was joyful, even indulging in a small drink.

The large family intermingled; laughter and toasts filled the air.

After the meal, cleaning up was swift, and in perfect unison, everyone took their leave.

They had to set off for Tianqing City early the next day and wanted to let the old lady rest early.

As Bai Xiaosheng was leaving, Bai Fei and Bai Ran personally saw him off. Bai Xiaosheng noticed that Bai Fei seemed to have something to say to him. He kept his composure and readily agreed.

After leaving Grandma’s house, they descended the building and walked under the street lights.

After walking a bit and seeing no one else around, Bai Xiaosheng slowed his pace and smiled at Bai Fei, "Brother Bai Fei, I’ve noticed since I came back that you have something you want to tell me?"

"Yes."

Bai Fei nodded, then suddenly asked, "Sheng, do you still have any memory of our uncle-in-law and... those relatives?"

Caught off guard by the sudden shift in topic, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and responded, "I really don’t remember them anymore."

Bai Fei and Bai Ran exchanged glances.

"You left early for your studies, so naturally, you don’t remember. But we’ve had a few interactions with them," Bai Ran suddenly sighed.

This sigh caught Bai Xiaosheng off guard.

Why did it seem like Bai Ran was somewhat reluctant about this trip?

"Let me just say it," said Bai Fei with a sigh, looking intently at Bai Xiaosheng, "Grandma wants to see our uncle out of kinship, but as for us... if it weren’t out of respect for Grandma, we really wouldn’t want to visit that Li Family!"

Us?

Bai Xiaosheng raised an eyebrow.
