CHAPTER 1669: CHAPTER 1376: IS THIS GUY CRAZY? (PART 2)

Additionally, there is news that the Sharvey Band evacuated Ladoga City overnight, their destination a mystery. Viktor publicly apologized to the Yegor Band in the media, coming close to pleading. This is quite rare.

This morning, the Ladoga Grand Theater made a statement in the newspaper, declaring that the previous theater manager had various issues and has now been dismissed.

"So many things happened overnight," Lin Weiwei sighed, then laughed, "Well, this is good; now no one will dare trouble the Yegor Band."

"Not just trouble, I’m afraid all the major investors will be beating down the Yegor Band’s door," Lei Ying chuckled.

Bai Xiaosheng looked at his phone and smiled, "Yegor expressed gratitude repeatedly and wants to invite me to a meal. Sigh, I think I’ll pass. I’m not one for being thanked endlessly, plus, we can’t stay around here for too long."

A day or two of relaxation is enough; they need to get back to work. Their European tour is nearing its end, and they must return to continue the next phase of work back home.

Putting down his phone, Bai Xiaosheng told Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, "However, today there is a dinner engagement that we must attend, since I agreed to go yesterday."

Bai Xiaosheng was referring to visiting the Jonas family.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying naturally knew, and they were aware the appointment was for noon.

"We have to go," Lin Weiwei nodded.

"Yes, and we need to explain the situation to Mr. Jonas, telling him who his real boss is," Lei Ying nodded in agreement.

Yesterday, because of the crowd, Bai Xiaosheng was unable to communicate certain matters with Jonas.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded at their words, deeply agreeing.

This meal, dining isn’t the main purpose; conveying certain matters is.

Currently, including Encounter Beverage Group, Bai Xiaosheng personally holds ownership of five companies of various sizes.

Zunbai Zhisheng and Xue Lian Wan He, of course, are nominally billion-level, even though the measurement unit is just Huaxia Currency.

The smaller one is Encounter Beverage, but Bai Xiaosheng believes it will soon catch up, especially with its partnership with Europe’s three giants in the brewing industry.

Besides that, Kelson also has unlimited potential.

Li Ni Workshop, though initially small, is sure to flourish and expand by riding this wave of development.

Encounter Beverage, Kelson, and Li Ni Workshop must, according to Bai Xiaosheng’s intention, coordinate deeply, requiring transparency with managers to ensure they are aware and can cooperate deeply.

After a western-style breakfast, Bai Xiaosheng, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying left the café, wandered around Ladoga, and bought some gifts near noon before heading straight to the Jonah household.

The Jonas family lived on the edge of Ladoga City’s district, reportedly in an area full of old apartment buildings without elevators and poor surroundings.

Upon arriving, they truly felt that it was quite bad, nearly akin to a slum.

"Looks like our first task would be to get Mr. Jonas a new residence," Bai Xiaosheng sighed, "As the CEO of Encounter Beverage Group, moving there should be appropriate, and I believe Old Hawk will settle him in nicely. We should remind him later."

Lin Weiwei immediately nodded, making a note of Bai Xiaosheng’s words.

"I wonder if Mrs. Jonas would be willing to leave Ladoga," Lei Ying muttered from the side.

Bai Xiaosheng thought for a moment, "We can advance Jonas a year’s salary so they can buy a house here."

Lin Weiwei nodded again.

The three chatted as they walked and searched, yet couldn’t find the building Jonas mentioned.

Truly, the architecture in the area was too chaotic, building signs either eroded by wind and rain or covered by graffiti.

"Let’s find someone to ask; wandering around aimlessly like this won’t help," Lin Weiwei suggested promptly.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

Lin Weiwei looked around and noticed someone walking towards them.

The man seemed to be in his thirties or forties, with a beard, decent appearance, and thick glasses on his face, carrying a slight scholarly air, though a bit unkempt.

He held a notebook, quickly jotting and sketching as he walked, muttering to himself with great enthusiasm.

"Hello sir, do you know where building nineteen is?"

Lin Weiwei approached, smiling, and asked.

The man seemed not to notice Lin Weiwei or hear her, walking past directly.

Lin Weiwei was momentarily stunned.

She, a young woman, was ignored?

That’s the biggest disrespect to women!

Lin Weiwei got angry and chased after him, raising her voice, "Excuse me! Do you know! Where building nineteen is!"

The last sentence was practically shouted into the man’s ear.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying were startled, looking at each other helplessly.

Ah, women.

The man was taken aback by Lin Weiwei’s voice, looking at her in surprise and asking, "Who are you?!"

Lin Weiwei felt relieved, realizing she lost composure, and immediately smiled, "I’m just someone asking for directions."

"Why are you so loud asking for directions?" the man retorted irritably, "I’m not handicapped, I can hear! Which building are you asking about?"

Lin Weiwei was speechless.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying were also somewhat bewildered and amused.

Lin Weiwei had already mentioned building nineteen twice, yelling the last time.

This man claimed he could hear yet asked again.

But in Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes, from the man’s reaction, he hadn’t heard intentionally; he likely wasn’t paying attention.

"Building nineteen," Lin Weiwei repeated once more.

"Oh, building nineteen, I know," the man smiled.
