Inheritance of Two Trillion
Chapter 542

Chapter 542: 542

Just now, from the moment he left here to go in and greet his grandparents, chat for a bit, and then come out, Li Feitian felt that the whole process hadn’t taken more than fifteen minutes.

Yet, looking over here, everything had changed so drastically!

Bai Xiaosheng was giving Zhou Ping a lesson!

Li Feiyun, Li Feiyan, and others had their eyes wide open, listening intently at the side.

What was going on!

Li Feitian felt as if his entire worldview had been turned upside down.

He really wanted to grab someone and ask if they had all gone mad, whether this Bai guy had brainwashed them or not!

Just a moment ago, this Mr. Bai had damaged the face of the Li Family. Even if you couldn’t retrieve the situation, there was no need to surrender so completely, rushing to become Mr. Bai’s students!

You’ve all gone mad!

"Feiyun, come here!" Li Feitian grabbed Li Feiyun by the arm and pulled him aside.

Li Feiyan and the others were jolted awake by his shout and felt a bit awkward when they saw it was him.

Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Li Feitian, a faint smile in his eyes.

However, urged by Zhou Ping, he continued his tireless teaching.

"What exactly is going on? How come you’re listening to him, and what’s with Mr. Zhou’s situation!" Li Feitian asked.

Out of respect for Zhou Ping, he lowered his voice so as not to embarrass him.

Zhou Ping was recognized as a master in appreciating and identifying cultural playthings, famous even in Anjiang! He himself was very confident, even arrogant, about this field. Typically, his exchanges with experts were about learning from each other, but now, he had been reduced to... a primary school student!

This was especially baffling for Li Feitian.

"Tian, you have no idea, this Bai Xiaosheng is incredibly amazing!" Li Feiyun said in a low voice, still full of shock. Although he hadn’t changed his views on the Bai Family, he absolutely couldn’t underestimate Bai Xiaosheng now.

"How amazing?" Li Feitian was astonished.

His own brother, who respected no one but himself, seemed to have developed such a high regard for Bai Xiaosheng in just those fifteen minutes.

"You don’t know." Li Feiyun swallowed and said, "Mr. Zhou asked him more than a dozen questions, and it only took him a few minutes to answer all of them! Those answers enlightened Mr. Zhou so much that he couldn’t stump Bai Xiaosheng any longer, and what Bai Xiaosheng taught, Mr. Zhou had never even heard before, it was incredible!"

"So, what are you all fussing about?" Li Feitian asked with a frown.

Even if Zhou Ping was outshone by Bai Xiaosheng, these Li Family members didn’t need to crowd around and make a fuss; they didn’t understand appraisals anyway.

"That Bai Xiaosheng said anyone with questions could ask anything, and if they could stump him, it would be considered his loss," Li Feiyun muttered, "So, we all went over to give it a try, and the result was..."

...everyone was subdued?

Li Feitian was upset.

This Bai Xiaosheng was simply too arrogant! Who did he think he was? A know-it-all!

"Any question is fine?"

"Yeah... any question," Li Feiyun said in a low voice.

Li Feitian was so annoyed that he missed the oddities in his brother’s tone.

It wasn’t that Bai Xiaosheng had arrogantly set up this challenge out of sheer boredom or for no reason. It was just that Zhou Ping couldn’t stump Bai Xiaosheng, who was extolled as a renaissance man, and Li Feiyun and Li Feiyan, having heard this, felt unconvinced and also went over to "ask for advice."

To their surprise, Bai Xiaosheng could casually answer all their questions, seeming to know everything.

From ancient knowledge and anecdotes to modern technology and sports, even including makeup and fashion, Bai Xiaosheng could speak with authority on each topic.

Some secretly used their cell phones to search online and, after verifying his answers, were astounded by his knowledge.

He was incredibly strong, truly appearing to be omniscient.

Now that Li Feitian was asking, Li Feiyun was too embarrassed to tell the truth, after all, going to challenge someone and getting your face slapped was really not glorious.

So, he told a lie.

"Fine, fine, fine, if any question goes, then I have quite a few to ask myself!" Li Feitian said through gritted teeth.

Just an insignificant member of the Bai Family he looked down upon was acting so presumptuously in his own house today.

He wanted to beat the younger generation of the entire Li Family, aiming to cast a shadow over them.

Li Feitian would not agree to this!

After all, Li Feitian’s pride far surpassed that of his peers.

"Brother, there’s one more thing!" Li Feiyun suddenly thought of something and grabbed Li Feitian’s arm.

"What is it?" Li Feitian looked at him with suspicion.

"This Bai Xiaosheng is the Deputy General Manager of Zhongjing Media!"

With one sentence from Li Feiyun, Li Feitian’s eyes suddenly widened.

Zhongjing Media!

This Bai Xiaosheng, he actually was the Deputy General Manager of Zhongjing Media!

Until now, the Bai Family Members still believed that Bai Xiaosheng was a deputy manager, and that’s what they said, so the members of the Li Family naturally had no reason to doubt it.

Li Feitian’s Tianfu Wealth Management was also a reporting entity, so he naturally knew about the information of the other dozen "rivals"!

However, Li Feitian’s extremely limited information about Zhongjing Media had all come from the Internet; he had no idea that Bai Xiaosheng before him was no longer the deputy manager, but the general manager!

Li Feitian felt a bit shocked.

Wasn’t the younger generation of the Bai Family only supposed to have one decent person, Bai Fei, who was the general manager of a small company? Since when did a Bai Xiaosheng emerge as the Deputy General Manager of Zhongjing Media!

Li Feitian’s anger subsided significantly, yet his fighting spirit blazed even more fiercely!

"If I beat this Bai Xiaosheng, it’s not just beating the Bai Family but also a slap in the face for Zhongjing Media!" The excitement in Li Feitian’s eyes grew even stronger.

Tianqing lagged far behind Zhongjing, and their Tianfu Wealth Management was no match for Zhongjing Media...

Mayor Dai Mingcheng had pushed Tianfu Wealth Management as a fallback option to secure a ranking, and he wasn’t very enthusiastic about this risk capital enterprise. Now that the slot was almost a sure win, his interest cooled even more, and they rarely communicated, with messages being conveyed through the mayor’s secretary, if at all.

Mayor Dai Mingcheng’s Secretary, Zhou Yifa, known as the evergreen of the political arena, had a reputation for being cautious, so he spoke less whenever he could.

As a result, Li Feitian had to go roundabout, indirectly extracting information from Zhou Ping.

This was awkward.

Characters like Bai Xiaosheng and Mu Beichen were able to interact and discuss with the mayor, while during the submission period, Li Feitian could only follow the mayor’s motorcade, give his report, and then he had to return alone. A few words of encouragement from the mayor from a distance would excite him for quite a while.

For someone as proud and haughty as he was, this embarrassing situation gave rise to almost deranged thoughts in Li Feitian’s mind.

Defeat Bai Xiaosheng!

Equals defeating Zhongjing Media!

With this bizarre line of thinking plaguing him, Li Feitian parted the crowd and asked Zhou Ping to move, so he could sit directly across from Bai Xiaosheng.

"So you’re Mr. Bai from Zhongjing Media, my apologies for the oversight! I, from Tianqing’s Tianfu Wealth Management, would like to have a wager with you. When posing a question, you said no subject is off-limits, so I won’t hold back. If I win, it proves that Zhongjing Media isn’t all that great!"

Li Feitian’s eyes were fiercely fixed on Bai Xiaosheng, filled with a combative spirit.

A gamble with me?

If I lose... what does it have to do with Zhongjing Media?

Is this guy crazy?

Bai Xiaosheng was utterly puzzled, but seeing the excited look on Li Feitian’s face, he laughed.

"Okay."

Half an hour later, the room fell silent, all the Li Family Members looked at each other, at a loss for words.

Li Feitian’s forehead was covered in sweat beads after posing more than twenty questions, completely failing to stump Bai Xiaosheng.

"Do you have any more questions?" Bai Xiaosheng asked with a light chuckle.

It sounded like mockery.

Li Feitian’s face turned beet red with effort, and Zhou Ping felt somewhat sorry for him, trying to pull him up, but he was rejected.

"I still have questions!" Li Feitian suddenly exclaimed, intending to go all out and stump Bai Xiaosheng with a special question, even if it meant revealing secrets!

"I’m sorry, but I’m tired today," Bai Xiaosheng abruptly stood up, flatly refusing. "I’m done playing!"
