Chapter 2484 - 1836: A Small Problem
At the banquet hosted by Prince Hadu, Bai Xiaosheng surprisingly encountered a group of people who came to defend Cilio’s honor, leaving him dumbfounded and speechless, with a hint of amusement.
To be frank, Cilio’s current situation was indeed caused by him. But to say Cilio hates him, probably not. Previously, Cilio had even expressed gratitude towards him, and it wasn’t fake.
Furthermore, Cilio will be working under him in the future, which means he will be Cilio’s boss.
These people challenging him, Cilio’s future boss, at the Prince’s banquet—what’s the point...
Bai Xiaosheng found it amusing, looking at the young black man leading the group.
The other party noticed this and sneered, exuding a hostile aura, "You, what are you laughing at!"
The others also looked at Bai Xiaosheng with animosity and surrounded him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, how long has it been since you contacted Cilio?" Bai Xiaosheng said leisurely.
Resolving this trouble was remarkably simple; just give Cilio a call, and everything could be cleared up in minutes.
So Bai Xiaosheng remained calm and collected, confidently waiting.
How long has it been since contacting Cilio?
The young black man exchanged glances with his friends, not understanding Bai Xiaosheng’s intention but still coldly responding—
"Since he was confined!"
Bai Xiaosheng nodded in response.
No wonder then.
Previously, Cilio indeed suffered some misfortune because of him and hated him. These people were just a bit behind on the updates.
Bai Xiaosheng knew that not long ago, Cilio was indeed put under confinement by his father, Mr. Brown.
It’s conceivable that confinement wasn’t all; there was also a limitation on external communication. Of course, Cilio might not want to communicate with these friends either.
After all, having such a high position and then being dismissed—it was quite a face-losing situation.
Thinking of how these friends of Cilio still intended to avenge him was commendable.
Typically, when trouble arises, the friends of a spoiled rich kid scatter.
Bai Xiaosheng snickered in praise.
These people must have learned from the media that it was Bai Xiaosheng responsible for investigating Zhenbei Group’s problematic enterprises, "causing" Cilio to be suspended and confined. Joining the Prince’s banquet, upon finding out somehow that Bai Xiaosheng was there too, they came to seek justice.
Given their similar age and the audacity to cause a scene at the banquet, they must have significant backgrounds.
To prevent further conflict and an embarrassing scene, Bai Xiaosheng decided not to tease them further, and directly said, "Now, Cilio is free. Give him a call, check the situation, see if he still hates me, then target me if you must. However, he might even thank me."
The matter had been settled, and Mr. Brown had no further reason to confine Cilio, so the call could naturally get through.
Bai Xiaosheng’s confident smile left the group exchanging silent glances with each other.
"We can’t get through!"
The young black man spoke sharply, with the others nodding in agreement.
It seemed no one was willing to take action.
Seeing the commotion drawing attention from the surrounding guests, Bai Xiaosheng decided to contain the situation, saying, "Alright, I’ll make the call then."
Bai Xiaosheng, with an indifferent expression, dialed the phone, putting it to his ear, and looked at the group calmly.
As they saw Bai Xiaosheng really calling Cilio, they exchanged suspicious glances and waited.
Soon, Bai Xiaosheng heard a phrase in English over the phone, his smile slightly freezing.
That phrase translated roughly to a well-known message: "Sorry, the subscriber you dialed is powered off."
Cilio’s phone was off?
Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes slightly altered.
He couldn’t understand why Cilio would have his phone off at this time!
At that moment, in a nighttime training class, Cilio sat quietly in the last row, listening to the lecture, his phone lying face down on the desk with its screen off.
The lecturer ahead was someone Mr. Brown had paid highly for; the attendees were top executives from Zhenbei Group’s top African enterprises. It was an internal advanced training session.
Cilio was pursuing this study to start afresh, aiming to become a qualified corporate manager under Bai Xiaosheng...
Strictly speaking, it was for Bai Xiaosheng that he turned off his phone...
Bai Xiaosheng made two calls, both unanswered, noticing the surrounding young people’s cold observations directed at him, immediately said, "Wait a moment, I’ll call Mr. Brown, and ask what’s going on!"
If Cilio had his phone off, Mr. Brown should still be reachable. As long as Mr. Brown could contact people around Cilio, the matter would be resolved.
Bai Xiaosheng thought so.
As he spoke, Bai Xiaosheng searched for Mr. Brown’s number and dialed it.
After a short while, Bai Xiaosheng’s expression turned odd.
The same message played again; even Mr. Brown’s phone was off...
At this time, someone of Mr. Brown’s status turning off his phone—why!
Bai Xiaosheng was deeply puzzled.
At that moment, during some high-level review meeting, Mr. Brown was sternly reprimanding some high-level officials whose phones kept ringing, angrily leading the way to turn off his phone...
Speaking of this review meeting, it was started due to an investigation Bai Xiaosheng initiated, wrapping up because of Bai Xiaosheng...
Having failed to reach both father’s and son’s numbers, Bai Xiaosheng gave up, pocketing his phone.
"Now, do you have anything else to say?"
The young black leader sneered in front of Bai Xiaosheng.
"This is Prince Hadu’s banquet, let’s talk more after it’s over, okay with you guys?" Bai Xiaosheng suggested.
