Chapter 2477 - 1833: Royal Night Banquet
Bai Xiaosheng received an invitation from a Prince, whose words were exceedingly friendly and had a familiar tone.
Upon reflection, Bai Xiaosheng really remembered someone who might be connected to this.
It was the black brother he met back home—Chen Feiqiu.
That young black man, about the same age as him, was studying abroad in Huaxia, spoke fluent Mandarin, and was highly proficient in idioms and colloquial expressions. If you only heard his voice and didn’t see him, you would most likely mistake him for a Huaxia person.
Could it be him?
Bai Xiaosheng remembered that Chen Feiqiu once said he was the son of a Chieftain, but Bai Xiaosheng didn’t pay much attention at the time.
He also mentioned inviting him to his home, but Bai Xiaosheng only laughed it off, thinking it was unlikely to happen.
Unexpectedly, it all became true.
He turned out to be a Prince of the Aisha Emirate?
This was too dramatic...
The person delivering the invitation was still in front of him, Bai Xiaosheng calmed himself and smiled at him, saying, "Please convey to Prince His Highness that I will attend the banquet on time."
The man immediately bowed and respectfully said, "Alright. Since the message is delivered, I will report back to His Highness."
Bai Xiaosheng nodded and smiled, "Then, let me see you off."
These four words immediately caused the person to seem fearful, waving his hand repeatedly and refused in a tone that allowed no negotiation, "No, I cannot bear such honor. You are a friend of Prince His Highness! Such an esteemed identity!"
Seeing that the person had no room for negotiation, Bai Xiaosheng could only let it go.
Hou Yuncheng’s secretary was beside them and seeing this, hurriedly smiled at Bai Xiaosheng, "Let me escort this guest. After all, I brought him over."
"I’ll leave it to you then." Bai Xiaosheng nodded.
The envoy once again bowed to Bai Xiaosheng before turning away.
Hou Yuncheng’s secretary followed behind, escorting him all the way.
Bai Xiaosheng watched the two of them leave.
Once they left, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying approached to take a look at the invitation card in Bai Xiaosheng’s hand.
"Oh, this page inside doesn’t look like it’s gold-plated, it seems like real gold leaf! Just feel it, it’s so heavy! This is indeed luxurious!" Lin Weiwei exclaimed.
Lei Ying looked at it and returned it to Bai Xiaosheng, asking, "From your reaction earlier, did you figure out who that Prince is?"
Bai Xiaosheng looked at him and suddenly laughed, "Don’t you have any thoughts?"
Lei Ying didn’t deny it but rather smiled.
"Who is it? Do you guys really know a Prince? Why don’t I know!" Lin Weiwei exclaimed, seeing the two with a knowing expression.
"Who says you don’t know, you’ve met him too." Bai Xiaosheng laughed and immediately pointed out the name they guessed, "Chen, Fei, Qiu!"
Lin Weiwei froze for a moment, "Chen Feiqiu..."
Then, she remembered and started pointing in the air with her index finger, "I remember now, it’s him... He really is the son of a Chieftain?"
"Oh, but wait. The son of a Chieftain, is he a Prince?" Lin Weiwei frowned and suspiciously said, "I might not be good at history, but I feel like there’s an issue with this title."
Beside her, Lei Ying shrugged and said, "He said he was the son of a Chieftain, who says his father has to be the current Grand Chieftain, couldn’t he be a former one?"
"But the relationship between the titles of Chieftain and King here, I still haven’t figured it out." Lin Weiwei continued.
"Respect other people’s traditions, if you don’t understand, don’t ask." Lei Ying said seriously.
Lin Weiwei looked at him suspiciously, "You say that, are you knowledgeable, or are you just not clear either, giving me the runaround."
Lei Ying suddenly became evasive.
Actually, he was also unsure and couldn’t clearly explain...
"Alright, alright, stop arguing about this. As for whether he’s an acquaintance, we only know Chen Feiqiu, who might be a Prince. We’ll naturally meet tonight and confirm it, so don’t dwell on it further." Bai Xiaosheng hurriedly said, "You’d better study the etiquette of the Aisha Emirate if you have time. They naturally have unique customs, and even though it’s a private banquet, it’s better not to be disrespectful as foreigners. Who knows if the dinner will follow more traditional rites or be more Westernized. You should check some information, organize it, and we should all learn from it. Respecting others is respecting ourselves."
Once Bai Xiaosheng said that, it made sense, and Lin Weiwei finally relented.
Assigning tasks to them is better than listening to arguments, Bai Xiaosheng could also find some peace.
Just as he finished speaking, there was another knock at the door.
Lin Weiwei went to open the door and surprising enough, it was Hou Yuncheng himself.
"Director Hou!"
When Bai Xiaosheng saw Hou Yuncheng, he quickly got up and welcomed him.
Hou Yuncheng nodded to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, who greeted him, and then spoke to Bai Xiaosheng, "Have you just received an invitation from Prince His Highness? I have a couple of words to tell you."
Bai Xiaosheng quickly ushered Hou Yuncheng inside and asked Lin Weiwei to serve tea.
"No need to trouble, I’ll just stay for two minutes, it won’t take more than a few words, no need for tea." Hou Yuncheng smiled and spoke straightforwardly to Bai Xiaosheng without avoiding Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, "I want to emphasize the importance of the invitation you received."
"The Aisha Emirate has always been a good friend of Huaxia and a friendly nation. The total trade volume between the two countries increases year by year."
"In the Western Chieftain Union, the Aisha Emirate’s strength can probably rank within the top five and it holds significant influence."
"I have learned that this Prince His Highness holds great regard from his country’s Chieftain and forming good relations with him is undoubtedly a good thing. However, it is merely your personal opportunity, the trade delegation won’t require you to do anything."
