Chapter 539: Chapter 539 Zhou Ping, Mr. Zhou_1

Li Feiyan’s words invigorated the Li Family Members.

It even dissipated the shock and "gloom" that Bai Xiaosheng, being the deputy general manager of Zhongjing Media, had brought them.

What of being the deputy general manager of Zhongjing Media?

Their elder brother, Li Feitian, was the chairman of the Tianqing Risk Capital’s major enterprise—Tianfu Wealth Management!

This year, Tianfu Wealth Management was even representing Tianqing in applying for provincial-level benchmarking enterprises.

It was said that the progress was promising! Maybe they could win the title within the year, and stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhongjing Media on titles, both being benchmarks!

But when it came to positions, one was a chairman, and the other a deputy general manager.

This distinction between primary and secondary roles immediately brought smiles to the faces of the Li Family Members, who felt that at least in terms of titles, they had one-upped Bai Xiaosheng.

"This is quite a coincidence, could make for a good novel!" Bai Xiaosheng remarked after his reflection, instructing Red Lotus to search for information on Tianfu Wealth Management.

In the domestic market, insurance companies are divided into two types—life insurance companies and property insurance companies.

According to the regulations of the insurance law, the two must be managed separately, so some insurance companies have established group companies, which have independent life and property insurance companies under them.

This Tianfu Wealth Management was just a property insurance company, with a registered capital of one and a half billion, and was a joint-stock company.

Red Lotus found quite a bit of information, which Bai Xiaosheng carelessly browsed through, picking out content of interest. He inadvertently noticed changes in the shareholder list over the years, and his expression suddenly turned a bit odd.

Initially, there were shareholders with different surnames, but as time went on, more and more were named "Li," and those not named Li also had family ties with the Li Family.

This was hardly what you’d call a joint-stock company; it was completely a family business.

"My older brother Li Feitian takes charge of a major enterprise all by himself, making all the decisions, something no deputy could ever match," Li Feiyan said proudly.

Bai Ran was not convinced and wanted to argue.

Suddenly, a shout came from outside, "Brother Li Feitian has arrived!"

Then, another shout followed, "Mr. Zhou Ping is here too!"

These two urgent calls made everyone present startle.

The Li Family Members’ eyes suddenly lit up, and they became excited.

Even the elderly Li Family Members, who had been chatting with Bai Minghang and others, couldn’t help but stand up.

"Mr. Zhou Ping is here?"

"Wasn’t he supposed to arrive tomorrow?"

"Mr. Zhou is good friends, like brothers, with our Li Feitian. It’s not strange for him to come over to visit today! Let’s go, let’s go out and welcome them!"

The three uncles and aunts from the third branch of the Li Family couldn’t help but say.

Just for the arrival of a Zhou Ping, they were all going out to meet him, and the scene was even more enthusiastic than when the Bai Family Members arrived!

You should know, even when their own aunt Li Fengguan arrived, they weren’t this passionate.

While talking, the younger generation of the Li Family, led by Li Feiyun and Li Feiyan, rushed out. Soon after, the elderly Li Family Members followed them out.

The Bai Family Members suddenly felt a bit awkward.

"Second brother, do you think we should also go out and welcome them?"

Bai Xiaosheng’s uncle couldn’t help but glance outside, before asking Bai Minghang in a lowered voice.

"This is the Li Family’s home, the guests are the Li Family’s, what does it have to do with us?" Bai Minghang remained seated calmly, expressionless, speaking unhurriedly and steadily.

This trip to the Li Family, apart from the elderly grandmother Li Fengguan, was the only one that Bai Minghang had no reluctance about.

However, this did not mean that Bai Minghang had no complaints against the Li Family.

Always upright and honorable in his actions, steady in the face of issues, Bai Minghang had an open mind about many things, but he would absolutely not tolerate being bullied, and he certainly wouldn’t go out of his way to flatter or suck up!

Bai Xiaosheng’s personality was greatly influenced by his father.

After some hesitation, Bai Xiaosheng’s eldest uncle, along with his other two uncles and aunt-by-marriage, decided to join Bai Minghang and sit there to wait.

Even if that Mr. Zhou, Zhou Ping, was the mayor’s secretary’s son, wasn’t he just the mayor of Tianqing City’s secretary’s son too? He wasn’t from Zhongjing, so why rush forward to be laughed at by the Li Family Members?

Bai Xiaosheng’s two other uncles and aunts seemed somewhat conflicted, but ultimately, they also chose not to move since the eldest brother hadn’t.

Opposite them, Bai Xiaosheng himself sat as immovable as a mountain.

Bai Fei and Bai Ran sat down on the sofa to his left and right, subtly acknowledging Bai Xiaosheng’s precedence.

The Li Family Members who had surged forward returned moments later, escorting two people through the door.

The person on the left was tall and statuesque, roughly 1.8 meters, with a well-proportioned and robust physique. Upon closer inspection, his face was handsome and he exuded an air of refinement tempered with gentleness in his laughter.

The person on the right was slightly shorter, but still around 1.75 meters, comparatively thinner, and while his features were somewhat plain, his eyes were bright, accented by gold-rimmed glasses.

"This time for my grandfather’s birthday, someone sent a Baishi Shanweng’s ’Remote Mountain Pine Forest Painting.’ Later, Mr. Zhou, you’ll need to take a good look for us," the person on the left said to the man with gold-rimmed glasses with a smile.

"That won’t be a problem. I’m looking forward to appreciating it," the man with gold-rimmed glasses responded with a smile.

Bai Xiaosheng took a discreet glance at them; the man on the left held a commanding aura, exuding the temperament of an entrepreneur. That must be Li Feitian, Li Feiyan and Li Feiyun’s much-touted elder brother, and also the chairman of Tianfu Wealth Management—Li Feitian!

This Li Feitian looked quite dignified indeed.

The one on the right must be Zhou Ping, the fabled son of the mayor’s secretary and an antique connoisseur. Although he appeared young and his features ordinary, his eyes were exceptionally bright, as if he had seen countless treasured antiques, honing a razor-sharp gaze.

"Li, I’m just a junior, yet you all came out to welcome me, I’m truly ashamed," Zhou Ping even admitted with an apologetic tone to the Li Family elders behind him, looking modest and courteous.

Expecting another arrogant second-generation rich kid, it was somewhat surprising to find him different.

Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

Li Feitian and Zhou Ping were talking about Baishi Shanweng, the old man Baishi, that’s Qi Baishi, and a Qi Baishi’s ’Remote Mountain Pine Forest Painting’ is worth a fortune indeed—a generous gift!

Compared to such a lavish birthday gift, their Bai Family’s present indeed seemed modest.

Yet, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t feel the slightest bit embarrassed. Knowing how the Li Family Members were, he might have even opted not to buy that purple clay teapot and just picked up some cheap token gift instead.

As Li Feitian walked in, the first thing he noticed was Bai Minghang and the other Bai Family Members seated on the other side. He had visited the Bai Family when he was younger and naturally recognized them, but after a glance, he looked away, pretending not to notice. Turning his head, he suddenly spotted a young man sprawling confidently on the sofa opposite, with a man and woman sitting neatly on either side.

Watching them enter, the young man looked on emotionlessly and didn’t even rise, quite the arrogant display!

Li Feitian couldn’t help but frown.

"Who is that?" Li Feitian asked, looking at Bai Xiaosheng.

"He’s Bai Xiaosheng from the Bai Family!" Li Feiyun took the opportunity to stir the pot, "Just before, he said the ’Autumn Breeze Landscape Painting’ hanging on our wall is fake!"

"Hmmph, ignorant!" Li Feitian snorted from his nose, his tone filled with disdain.

But a spark of interest flickered in Zhou Ping’s eyes.

"A half-fake inferior piece hanging in the hall of honor, yet I wonder, who is the ignorant one!" Bai Xiaosheng retorted coldly.

Under the watchful eyes of all, he didn’t back down a word!

Li Feitian’s brows knit tightly together.

Since when did someone surnamed Bai dare to run wild in the Li Family’s territory!
