Inheritance of Two Trillion - Chapter 2365 - 1784: Foes on a Narrow Road
On the road to the inspection, he managed to resolve the conflict between two tribes, become a city’s honored guest, earn gratitude from fellow merchants, and even preemptively solve the commercial competition issue at the destination. This could probably only be done by Bai Xiaosheng.
Though there were some elements of chance involved, it was mainly due to Bai Xiaosheng’s daring, adaptability, and his ability to control the situation.
It’s truly admirable and makes one curious about the details.
Two individuals sent by Mr. Samba, the Deputy Mayor of Dilu City, took a separate car to facilitate communication for Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions.
In the car with Bai Xiaosheng and his companions, besides them, there was only a black driver. After Lin Weiwei tested him with Huaxia language and found out he indeed didn’t understand, she started chatting with Bai Xiaosheng in Huaxia language about the situation at that time.
Lin Weiwei personally felt that Bai Xiaosheng’s experience must have been incredibly legendary and thrilling. She was particularly interested, even regretting not being present at the time, so she insisted on Bai Xiaosheng elaborating along the way.
Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t refuse her, so he had to recount everything from the beginning for the two of them.
Lin Weiwei wasn’t satisfied with Bai Xiaosheng’s straightforward narration and insisted on asking about details repeatedly, and also asked Bai Xiaosheng to describe his "mental activities" and "emotional changes" in detail.
Her curiosity was almost on par with a gossip magazine reporter.
Bai Xiaosheng found himself repeating some details multiple times, still unable to satisfy Lin Weiwei, and, at a loss, had to rely on making things up to deflect her incessant questions.
Anyway, the long journey prevention is not too dull or boring, with all the chatting and storytelling.
When asked about why the two Clan Leaders readily agreed to Bai Xiaosheng’s investment plan without following any traditions or initially opposing it before gradually being persuaded,
Bai Xiaosheng, putting on a serious face, said, "Initially, they were naturally very opposed, saying it would harm the tribe’s feng shui."
"They talk about feng shui too?" Lin Weiwei was amazed upon hearing this.
Bai Xiaosheng replied earnestly, "Who says otherwise, they particularly like Huaxia culture, especially feng shui."
"Then why did they agree later!" Lin Weiwei asked expectantly, "Was it because you, Xiaosheng, used your eloquence to persuade them?"
"Of course!" Bai Xiaosheng, like a wise man, smiled slightly, "I told them, the constant fighting between the tribes was due to faulty feng shui at the reservoir, with two dragons clashing. It needs to be interrupted to prosper both sides, and water generates wealth. With fish living in water, you must raise them, but due to the reservoir’s strong spiritual energy, the fish must be replaced annually, or else they’ll absorb too much fortune, and their taste... would not be beneficial to tribal harmony. I suggested they set up a fish canning factory. Furthermore, with villages scattered, it’s not good for fortune gathering, and they should be reconstructed..."
Bai Xiaosheng spewed nonsense, his imagination running wild, and Lin Weiwei took him seriously.
Lei Ying, sitting in the passenger seat, initially listened intently but grew more suspicious as it progressed, turning back just in time to catch the mischievous expression in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, a sign of prankish success.
Lei Ying, being perceptive, frowned and thought for a moment, instantly understanding the truth, then looked ahead with amusement, taking the rest as a joke.
"The two Clan Leaders are very particular about their status. I told them once our investment succeeds, the tribe will prosper and they will be revered, even the feathers on their accessories will no longer be from wild birds but peacocks, or feathers from the phoenix in Eastern legends..."
"Xiaosheng, you really can stretch the truth, there’s no such thing as a phoenix." Lin Weiwei chuckled.
Bai Xiaosheng laughed, "I was just saying that. Just a description. Only then were the two Clan Leaders convinced by my words, thrilled to accept our investment."
In reality, those two Clan Leaders were very insightful and didn’t require much persuasion from me...
Bai Xiaosheng mused silently.
But saying it like that, Lin Weiwei would definitely be unsatisfied...
Bai Xiaosheng inadvertently looked up and saw Lei Ying glancing at him with a knowing smile, immediately realizing he wasn’t fooled.
"Keep talking, keep talking!" Lin Weiwei was hooked.
With the conversation continuing on, an hour had unknowingly passed.
To save time, the vehicle Bai Xiaosheng and his companions were in, along with the lead vehicle, maintained a swift pace.
As Bai Xiaosheng was speaking until his mouth was dry and needed a break, their vehicle began to slow down, eventually moving like a snail.
The three of them noticed the situation, with Lei Ying even opening the window to take a look ahead.
The driver, who hadn’t interrupted Bai Xiaosheng’s conversation until now, seeing the three guests quiet down, became curious about the road conditions and explained in English to Bai Xiaosheng seated in the back, "Sir, ahead is the Luto Checkpoint, this section of the road frequently gets congested, we might have to wait a bit,"
Just then, the driver’s phone rang, and upon picking up, he nodded repeatedly, "Alright... Okay... I understand."
After putting down the phone, the driver told Bai Xiaosheng, "Sir, the Deputy Mayor Samba’s assistant has communicated with the checkpoint to open a special lane for us to pass through smoothly."
Bai Xiaosheng was surprised upon hearing this, having originally thought Mr. Samba’s remark about them being the most honored guests in Dilu City was just pleasantries, but it turned out they actually enjoyed such privileges.
"This doesn’t seem quite right..." Bai Xiaosheng felt a bit embarrassed.
