Mr. Brown immediately laughed heartily with Hou Yuncheng, "Mr. Hou, I’ve had many misunderstandings with Mr. Bai Xiaosheng before, and now I’d like to take the opportunity to say a few words. Please make it convenient for me. Previously, my subsidiary refused a few business deals with your trade group, but I will agree to them all soon, and the terms will be very favorable. I’d also like to discuss various cooperation aspects with Mr. Bai Xiaosheng."

Mr. Brown’s words immediately ignited a spark deep in Hou Yuncheng’s eyes.

This Mr. Brown oversees over a thousand enterprises in Africa under the Zhenbei Group. He holds high prestige in the African business community. If we can facilitate many collaborations with him, it could be more rewarding than visiting two or three countries previously.

"In that case, Sheng, you should have a good conversation with Mr. Brown." Hou Yuncheng agreed.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and was invited into Mr. Brown’s car.

Before getting into the car, Bai Xiaosheng also saw Cilio about to get into another car, who noticed him too.

From a distance, Cilio’s expression was complex, but finally, he managed to force a smile at Bai Xiaosheng.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled back slightly before getting into the car.

On the road, Mr. Brown again thanked Bai Xiaosheng, as Bai Xiaosheng disregarded past grievances and helped his son avoid punishment.

Their cooperation actually began after the first clash, when Mr. Brown did indeed seek revenge against Bai Xiaosheng. Bai Xiaosheng also indeed had thoughts of retaliating. However, subsequent events made them realize someone was trying to manipulate things behind the scenes.

These two, an old fox and a young fox, dislike most being used as pawns by others. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

So they established contact through Wen Yan.

Bai Xiaosheng sent the second phase of the investigation to Wen Yan and Mr. Brown.

As for the version sent to Cilio and Tike, it was Mr. Brown’s doing.

Mr. Brown intended to provoke those two with his plan and informed Bai Xiaosheng.

As for Tike, there were many indications previously, all related to him. The report implicated Yorko Company and Fiewood to lure him out.

Regarding Cilio, Mr. Brown knows his son too well, knowing he would act impulsively, thus creating a situation that looks like he’s being framed.

If someone really wants to take Cilio down in the workplace, they’ll have to pay a hefty price, especially since Mr. Brown still heads the group in Africa. To implicate Mr. Brown as well would require significant effort.

Mr. Brown, being seasoned and cunning, anticipated the opponent might hurt themselves trying to take down their enemy.

After all, fishing requires bait, and the bigger the fish, the stronger the bait.

"Mr. Bai once asked me how I can be so sure the other party will follow my lead in handling matters," Mr. Brown said with a smile, "I’ve always liked to rely on my instincts when doing business, and I believed in this approach, so I took a gamble, and it turned out right. Following the thread, I ferreted out more people, capturing those who dared form cliques under my nose. If I know one person, I have ways to uncover ten more!"

Bai Xiaosheng chuckled and gave a thumbs-up, "From the moment you orchestrated everything, leading Tike’s people to defect in a day, I knew you were extraordinary. Such extraordinary methods, indeed, only you can afford to use!"

Your strategy was truly ruthless; no wonder you’re called a thousand-year-old fox, using your own son as bait.

Bai Xiaosheng marveled in his heart.

Mr. Brown shook his head, "To be honest, I’m ashamed. Perhaps it’s due to oversight; Tike deceived me for over a decade, and I even thought about promoting a guy like him. I’m old and my eyesight has dulled."

Before Bai Xiaosheng could respond, Mr. Brown looked at him meaningfully and smiled, "However, now, I still want to make another gamble!"

"What do you want to bet on?" Bai Xiaosheng asked curiously.

"I want to use the last bit of my career to bet on you! From now on, I and the African district will fully support you in our dealings!" Mr. Brown said, "Will you disappoint me? Also, I have an unreasonable request, wishing to add a small condition!"
