Chapter 1750: Chapter 1406: Schemes, Nothing but Schemes_3 More than ten minutes later, Bai Xiaosheng opened his eyes. It wasn’t because he had finished thinking about everything, but because the sound of an incoming call startled him out of his thoughts. “Soruns, huh.” Bai Xiaosheng glanced at the caller ID and then answered the call. “Sheng, why did you leave again?” On the phone, Soruns said, “Are you still discussing cooperation with Dan Lun? Is it done? The banquet is about to start.” “Almost, Mr. Luo had something to attend to and left temporarily. Once he returns, I think we’ll be almost done,” Bai Xiaosheng replied. Knowing that Luo Danlun wasn’t by Bai Xiaosheng’s side, Soruns seemed to think he could say more, and he tentatively laughed, “How’s the cooperation going? Why did they call you over multiple times for discussion? Dan Lun is so proactive, I haven’t seen this when discussing with him.” Bai Xiaosheng also laughed, “Proactive? We’re both focused on cooperation.” The more casually Bai Xiaosheng spoke, the more Soruns felt that Luo Danlun and his relationship was not ordinary. “Also, Mr. Luo said it himself, he’s giving me a big discount because of you. Moreover, the Luo Family is willing to talk more only because of the face of our Zhenbei Group,” Bai Xiaosheng explained. “Alright, you guys continue your discussion. I’ll save you a seat here.” Soruns laughed on the phone. Bai Xiaosheng naturally expressed his gratitude. They exchanged a few words before hanging up the call. Bai Xiaosheng looked at his phone and couldn’t help but smile. If Soruns knew under what terms he signed, his jaw would probably drop. While Bai Xiaosheng was on the call, over in the side parlor, Luo Danlun and Luo Yuefeng were discussing the cooperation with Bai Xiaosheng. After Luo Danlun explained in detail the situation he discussed with Bai Xiaosheng, Luo Yuefeng first pondered, then lightly snorted with a cold smile and uttered three words, “Good boy!” Luo Danlun naturally didn’t think those three words were sincere praise from his grandfather Luo Yuefeng, nor did he think they were complimenting himself. At this moment, Luo Danlun even felt a bit ashamed, thinking he had failed his grandfather’s expectations. With sixty percent of Bai Xiaosheng’s terms agreed upon, the Luo Family couldn’t say they were losing out, but Bai Xiaosheng was definitely the one making a big profit. “Dan Lun, are you feeling a bit frustrated?” Luo Yuefeng glanced at his grandson beside him, seemingly understanding his thoughts, and softly asked. Luo Danlun hurriedly said, “Grandfather, I haven’t agreed to collaborate under those terms with Bai Xiaosheng. If you think it’s inappropriate, I’ll go discuss with him again!” Luo Yuefeng waved his hand and said calmly, “Let’s go with his terms. This way, our Luo Family isn’t really losing; it’s a small profit. Let him have some benefits, it’s alright; as he said, there’s a long road ahead.” After hearing Luo Yuefeng’s words, Luo Danlun naturally nodded immediately. “The time is almost here, the banquet is about to start. Go finalize the follow-up process with Bai Xiaosheng, then greet the guests,” Luo Yuefeng said. The rightful source is novel⸺fire.net Luo Danlun quickly nodded. The banquet was today’s main event. Following his grandfather’s instructions, Luo Danlun was about to leave when Luo Yuefeng suddenly said, “Do you believe that Bai Xiaosheng probably already knows the general content of our cooperation with Soruns? Moreover, he had made prior assumptions; his cooperation standard in mind is lower than the terms we agreed upon—at least a ten percent drop! As for what he said… Haha, it’s all a setup!” Luo Danlun looked at his grandfather in astonishment. After speaking, Luo Yuefeng turned and left, leaving only a sentence floating back, “But it doesn’t matter… there’s a long road ahead!” Luo Danlun’s eyes were complex as he watched his grandfather leave, then he left as well. Over there, Bai Xiaosheng put down the phone, took a sip of tea, and saw Luo Danlun returning. Bai Xiaosheng immediately stood up with a smile to greet him. The look in Luo Danlun’s eyes was complex, though the outcome in his heart could not escape Bai Xiaosheng’s attention. This matter is settled! Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself, feeling extremely happy. Under Bai Xiaosheng’s expectation, Luo Danlun finally relayed his grandfather’s opinion on the cooperation this time, basically saying that the Luo Family is willing to yield for mutual cooperation in the future. Bai Xiaosheng also smiled and expressed his gratitude to the Luo Family and thanked Luo Danlun for facilitating the cooperation. Subsequently, the two agreed on future communication methods as well as formal signing and other matters. “Though we are only verbally establishing cooperation now, our Luo Family stands firm in the business world based on integrity, so you don’t need to worry about any changes!” After concluding the conversation, Luo Danlun didn’t forget to add. It was a matter of preserving dignity, and he left a sentence that the Luo Family was proud of. “I absolutely believe that, after all, the Luo Family stands shoulder to shoulder with the Qin Family and the Wei Family, at a level with our Zhenbei Group!” Bai Xiaosheng praised with a smile. This was also a way to place the Luo Family highly, making Luo Danlun feel better. Since everything was agreed upon, no matter how frustrated Luo Danlun was, he didn’t want to overthink it. He smiled generously, “The banquet is about to start, let me escort you back to the main hall, and greet the guests there as well.” Bai Xiaosheng naturally nodded. The two immediately set off to the main hall, where the banquet was already set up when they arrived. At the table where Soruns was seated, there was a seat saved for Bai Xiaosheng beside Soruns. Bai Xiaosheng and Luo Danlun appearing together again attracted much attention from the crowd. Afterwards, Bai Xiaosheng took his seat, while Luo Danlun was busy greeting the various guests. This banquet was more about socializing than just eating; for all these big figures, getting acquainted and communicating was the main point. Soruns introduced Bai Xiaosheng to several important figures, all leaders in their respective industries, business magnates. Those who originally thought to get to know Bai Xiaosheng found it difficult to approach him hastily without proper standing. This birthday banquet reached its climax shortly after when Luo Yuefeng personally arrived. Everyone raised their glasses and stood up to celebrate Luo Yuefeng’s birthday. Luo Yuefeng, with a beaming smile, greeted the guests but didn’t show any particular interest in Bai Xiaosheng and Soruns’s table. After Luo Yuefeng left, the banquet returned to the flow of toasting and enjoying the feast. After eating and drinking, the banquet ended as many big figures left, Bai Xiaosheng and Soruns being no exception. In the car on the way back, Soruns couldn’t help but finally ask Bai Xiaosheng about the cooperation matter. After all, Bai Xiaosheng left twice to talk with Luo Danlun, and when he returned, he had a joyful smile on his face. In Soruns’s view, Bai Xiaosheng must have achieved something. To this, Bai Xiaosheng only replied with a smile, saying four words, “Beyond my expectations!”
