Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1884: Chapter 1484: Who Is Whose “Prey”?

Mo Chengju and Mo Ziyue came to visit Bai Xiaosheng, and before long, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying arrived as well. Both parties met and exchanged polite greetings.

Mo Chengju had extraordinary perception. Beyond seeing Lin Weiwei’s beauty and Lei Ying’s robust might, he noticed the unusual details in their social interactions and demeanor.

“These two are quite extraordinary!” Mo Chengju immediately made this judgment and silently thought to himself, “Also, observing their attitude towards that young man… speaks volumes! Although they openly claim to be friends with that young man, there’s an unspoken respect in their demeanor, suggesting they might actually be his subordinates.”

Treating subordinates as friends also increased Mo Chengju’s favorable impression of Bai Xiaosheng.

After all, he is also someone who acts according to his whims.

“Ziyue, this Ms. Weiwei and Mr. Lei Ying are visiting our home for the first time. Our Mo Family has many places worth seeing, why don’t you show them around?” Mo Chengju said with a smile to Mo Ziyue.

He wanted to send the others away for some private conversation with Bai Xiaosheng.

Mo Ziyue was slightly taken aback and looked at Bai Xiaosheng.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying did likewise, waiting for Bai Xiaosheng to speak.

“Then why don’t you all go with Ziyue to have a look around, while Mr. Chengju and I chat for a bit.” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

He also wished to have a private conversation with Mo Chengju.

Since both had spoken, Mo Ziyue led Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying away, leaving time and space for Bai Xiaosheng and Mo Chengju.

Mo Chengju invited Bai Xiaosheng to sit down at a stone table in the courtyard and instructed a servant to bring tea and dried fruit.

They drank tea, ate dried fruit, and began their conversation.

After a few courteous exchanges, Mo Chengju began with a smile, “Mr. Sheng, are you currently practicing medicine or pursuing academic work?”

Just now, Bai Xiaosheng had given his name, but didn’t mention his identity. Mo Chengju was unclear about what that name signified.

Previously, although Bai Xiaosheng had appeared in the media and had his position exposed, Mo Chengju, as the general manager of a pharmaceutical research company, wasn’t very concerned with business affairs. Bai Xiaosheng’s level, engaged in business wars using hundreds of companies as “weapons,” was beyond the realm of the average business manager. Mo Chengju was someone who, after work, barely paid attention to public buzz.

In truth, even if Mo Chengju had heard Bai Xiaosheng’s name, he likely would have thought the Bai Xiaosheng before him merely shared a name with someone else.

After asking about Bai Xiaosheng’s current work, Mo Chengju added, “I saw your writing at my father’s place, truly masterful! To achieve such skill, you must have spent considerable time and effort. Also, I heard that your expertise in traditional Chinese medicine is quite impressive!”

Mo Chengju praised Bai Xiaosheng’s calligraphy, though he himself didn’t know much and was entirely relying on his father’s expressed attitude.

As for Bai Xiaosheng’s knowledge in Chinese medicine, he only heard about it from household staff. He was currently probing Bai Xiaosheng’s background.

Bai Xiaosheng laughed slightly and responded, “Whether it’s calligraphy or Chinese medicine, they’re merely personal hobbies I indulge in during my spare time, not particularly strong. Actually, my greatest interest lies in doing business.”

“Oh?” Mo Chengju was somewhat surprised by this response.

To receive praise from both his father Mo Haichuan and nephew Mo Ziyue in two fields, yet merely call them hobbies, and actually focus his mind on business?

Mo Chengju listened with mixed feelings of joy and concern.

Joy that Bai Xiaosheng liked the business field, making recruitment easier; concern that if Bai Xiaosheng excelled there, he might already have been noticed or recruited, making it harder to sway him.

At this moment, Mo Chengju suddenly felt a bit of regret. He should have learned more from his nephew Mo Ziyue earlier, understand where this young man is employed, and consider his compensation, so he could act more precisely.

He silently blamed himself for being careless, thinking, “Knowing there’s such a talent, I rushed over impatiently, without first investigating! This mistake shouldn’t be repeated!”

Mo Chengju saw Bai Xiaosheng as a “prey” he was eager to capture.

He wouldn’t expect.
