Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 2239 - 1699: Do You Know Who It Belongs To?
Bai Xiaosheng managed to publicly press Mr. Mai’s weakness, forcing him to change his attitude and concede.
He also verbally reprimanded Jack, making the latter’s face turn quite ugly.
The onlookers around were excited, couldn’t help pointing and commenting, clicking their tongues in discussion.
Seeing this, Mr. Mai called over the store manager and whispered some instructions, to which the manager nodded repeatedly.
Immediately, the manager stood out and raised his voice to the surrounding people, "Everyone, please disperse, and stop gathering here!"
The people around were enjoying the excitement and naturally didn’t want to leave.
"Everyone!" the manager raised his voice again, "Our Mr. Mai has now given me a special privilege to offer you a purchase discount, a celebration level, only for today, only now, only for two hours. Don’t miss this opportunity, it’s limited to twenty spots!"
This was much more persuasive than earlier, and the people around quickly dispersed, rushing to grab what they desired.
The manager also hurriedly left to oversee the situation.
However, there were exceptions, such as Jack and Hannah, who didn’t care about such discounts at all.
At this moment, the two of them looked at Bai Xiaosheng with ashen faces.
Hannah resented Bai Xiaosheng for not giving them face, for not letting them have the piece of jewelry.
Jack’s hatred was at least double that of Hannah’s.
Bai Xiaosheng reprimanded him in public, embarrassing him in front of Hannah, and the most hateful part was he couldn’t explode publicly, as it would be unbecoming!
What was even more infuriating was that after Bai Xiaosheng finished speaking, he ignored him, leaving Jack no chance to retort with words!
Jack glared at Bai Xiaosheng fiercely, determined to remember this.
Mr. Mai, with no time to attend to others, smiled as he approached Bai Xiaosheng, politely saying, "Sir, would you mind coming to the VIP room for a chat, so we can continue discussing the solution you mentioned?"
Before Bai Xiaosheng could refuse, Mr. Mai looked at Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, smiling, "Your two friends can browse our store’s fine jewelry outside and enjoy the highest discount!"
Mr. Mai had spoken to this extent, so Bai Xiaosheng nodded, signaling Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to wait here.
Then, under Mr. Mai’s lead, Bai Xiaosheng headed straight for the VIP room, with Mr. Mai’s subordinates "whooshing" along.
As they left, Jack and Hannah’s eyes followed, their gaze towards Bai Xiaosheng still filled with implicit resentment.
Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying noticed their reactions and didn’t mind. Does a lion care about the attitude of a mongrel? What a joke.
They prepared to pick out some jewelry, after all, Mr. Mai had mentioned the highest discount.
Seeing that they couldn’t deliver harsh words to Bai Xiaosheng, but that his two friends were still here, Jack deliberately sneered, lowering his voice to Hannah, "Watch, this matter isn’t that easily resolved! That Huaxia kid thinks he can make Mr. Mai bow with just a video? He’s underestimating Mr. Mai!"
Jack lowered his voice just enough for Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying to hear.
He wanted them to hear, to make them worried, hoping they’d rashly rush over and worsen the situation.
Unexpectedly, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying seemed very calm, just glancing at him mildly.
Jack was taken aback, thinking they didn’t believe him, he sneered, "Do you two not believe me? Then let’s wait and see! Your friend won’t be as calm when he comes out as he was going in, and that piece of jewelry will be returned!"
Jack looked at Hannah and laughed, "After all, this is Ganande, it’s America, it’s not a place for Huaxia people to flaunt their power!"
Hannah also sneered, looking contemptuously at Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying.
"You’re Mr. Jack, right? Let’s wait and see," Lin Weiwei snorted coldly, "You’re not a good judge of character or situation. Do you know what people like you are called where we come from?"
Jack instinctively looked at her for an answer.
"Eyes but no eyeballs," Lin Weiwei didn’t know how to accurately translate "eyes but no pearls," so she resorted to a literal translation, regardless of whether Jack and Hannah understood, then turned to call Lei Ying to pick out items.
Lei Ying didn’t even glance at the two of them.
Such a straightforward translation left Jack and Hannah momentarily dumbfounded.
After a while, Hannah muttered to Jack, "She seemed... to be insulting you."
Jack realized it too, gritting his teeth in anger, glancing in the direction Bai Xiaosheng and his group left, ominously saying, "Then let’s wait and see who has the last laugh!"
Jack was certain that Mr. Mai wouldn’t be easily manipulated by Bai Xiaosheng.
Some things are inconvenient to do publicly, but behind closed doors, anything goes!
Jack’s gaze was flickering with derision, waiting to see Bai Xiaosheng suffer.
Now, in the VIP room.
With the door closed, Mr. Mai smiled, sitting across from Bai Xiaosheng, and there was a jewelry box on the coffee table in front of Bai Xiaosheng, which contained that precious necklace.
Drinking top-quality coffee, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said to Mr. Mai, "Go ahead, Mr. Mai. You didn’t call me in just to adopt my suggestion, right?"
For something Jack could see, how could Bai Xiaosheng not detect it? Despite appearing young, Bai Xiaosheng had navigated the workplace, encountering many people and events, experienced countless tactics, more than the paths Jack had crossed.
Laughable, Jack thought Bai Xiaosheng was clueless and fearless.
Mr. Mai looked at Bai Xiaosheng, his eyes flickering slightly, smiling, "Sir, you’re really impressive, not an average person. Most people wouldn’t think of directly using video and media routes, right? I admire that!"
Faced with such praise, Bai Xiaosheng remained unmoved, savoring his coffee, unhurriedly saying, "There are many ways to resolve things in this world, but ultimately, they boil down to a few kinds of paths: black, white, and gray. Taking legal routes is one option, taking media routes is another, all are aboveboard. But there are others that aren’t as openly displayed, right."
For instance, using threats, intimidation, exerting power over others.
Mr. Mai was momentarily stunned by Bai Xiaosheng’s words, seemingly not expecting this young man to say such things.
It seems he’s a sensible person indeed.
Mr. Mai laughed, "It appears I underestimated you a bit, my young friend."
"No problem, go ahead and tell me how you plan to convince me to give up this piece of jewelry." Bai Xiaosheng smiled, indicating for him to continue.
"Sir, do you know who will be wearing this necklace at tonight’s grand show?" Mr. Mai smiled, gazing intently at Bai Xiaosheng, "Coincidentally, she, like you, has black eyes and yellow skin, but she’s not Huaxia, she’s a Chinese-American, from one of America’s top families!"
Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes lit up with interest.
Mr. Mai continued, a hint of pride in his voice, "The stars I invite never receive the jewelry used at the shows, but this one is an exception!"
"I see you can easily spend millions of US Dollars, you must be from a significant family, and even if not, you must have heard of her name! Because she’s very famous!"
"If you insist on taking this necklace, the family could ruin both me and you with just a flick of their finger, and your family wouldn’t fare any better!"
"Their family is known for being unforgiving and powerful! Even without using family power, if her fans worldwide learned of this, heh, you’d never find peace again!"
Mr. Mai depicted the situation as extremely serious.
Even Bai Xiaosheng put down his cup, curious to know which deity he was up against.
Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s attentive posture, Mr. Mai felt somewhat smug, thinking to himself:
Once I reveal the name, you’ll know the magnitude of the situation!
And then, you’ll comply obediently!
"May I know who Mr. Mai’s so-called deity is?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.
After keeping the suspense long enough, Mr. Mai finally revealed, his voice suppressed with reverence and excitement, "She is none other than the international diva of the film world—"
"Wei Moran!"
