Bai Xiaosheng and Mr. Wagg entered a small lounge inside the gala hall, while Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and Mr. Wagg's entourage waited outside the door to avoid interrupting their conversation.
"I apologize, Mr. Bai, due to work-related reasons, we couldn't attend the welcome ceremony during the day." Mr. Wagg first smiled and apologized to Bai Xiaosheng, "The Minister also cannot come at this time because he needs to report to the highest council in our country, so he entrusted me to express his utmost apologies and warmest welcome to you and the Huaxia Business Group."
Bai Xiaosheng previously learned about Oshan's structure, which differs from the Aisha Emirate and Karan Chieftaincy; it consists of six chieftains forming the highest council, from which the President and Vice President are selected to manage the state. The Ministry of Commerce member assembly must report to the highest council annually, and if they don't satisfy the council, they face the threat of stepping down.
