"Miss Bai, when will you come to Beicheng? I’d like to arrange your reception in advance, as there are several companies wanting to collaborate with us..." He listed off a bunch.
Bai Lian didn’t know much about business like Xiaoqi did; her trip to Beicheng was simply to make an appearance following Xiaoqi’s instructions.
And to teach a couple of acupuncture techniques to some doctors there.
She patiently waited for Lin Guangxu to finish talking.
"I have to go back to school for a lecture in these next two days," Bai Lian looked up, not sure how the Culture and Tourism Bureau had arranged it, "I’ll return this weekend."
On the other side of the phone, Lin Guangxu calculated the time; today was Tuesday, and the weekend was just a few days away.
He ended the call, heading out to an emergency meeting while instructing his assistant.
"Miss Bai will be coming this week, the exact day is still unclear. Pass the word; I want everyone on their best form to welcome her."
The executives at Xuan Kang all knew, Xiaoqi was officially their boss.
But in reality, the person behind Xuan Kang was Miss Bai.
Yet, Miss Bai was enigmatically elusive, with few ever having the opportunity to meet her.
Lin Guangxu hadn’t met her either.
"Yes," the female assistant, in high heels, holding a notebook, and a black pen, efficiently took note, "Furthermore, the Bai Family, the Song Family, and the Kong Family are all trying to schedule appointments with you. Among these three, the Song Family has the strongest assets, and they also have dealings with Jiangjing, while the Bai and Kong families are locals here in Beicheng."
The two of them stopped at the elevator, and the female assistant pressed the button.
The elevator doors opened and Lin Guangxu stepped in, "You arrange the times."

Xiangcheng, a village.
Yang Lin had helped her grandparents hoe a large medicinal field, Yang Grandma’s back slightly bent, calling Yang Lin and Grandpa to come in for a meal.
Along the way, villagers greeted Yang Lin warmly.
Last year, when they heard Yang Lin got into university, the villagers had even given her a red envelope, as she was among the few girls from the village who had managed to go to university.
They only knew Yang Lin had been accepted into a university, but they didn’t know which one.
"Hello, Second Grandpa." Yang Lin was still quite reserved, speaking only when she saw someone.
Her hair no longer covered her eyes, which were dark and profound.
The person known as Second Grandpa perked up upon seeing Yang Lin, greeted her, and then hurried off.
Soon, Yang Lin arrived in Xiangcheng.
She went directly to Xiangcheng No.1 School, where Bai Lian was having a sharing session today.
Bai Lian and others had returned from an event.
Xiangcheng No.1 learned about it from the Culture and Tourism Bureau.
Xiangcheng had attracted national attention with two finalists in the top ten of the country last year, and this year, they had produced Beicheng City’s top scholar, achieving an 81% college admission rate which had surged several times over since the year before, quickly becoming one of the top ten schools in Beicheng.
Bai Lian’s popularity at Xiangcheng No.1 was even higher than Yan Lu’s. Learning that she was coming to share her study strategies caused quite a stir.
Not just tourists, but the examinees from Xiangcheng No.1 were thrilled.
It was the end of August, and school hadn’t started yet.
During the summer vacation, Xiangcheng No.1 was open to the public, and tourists visited daily to take photos of the stone landmarks.
Early Thursday morning, the entrance to No.1 was already bustling with people.
Although the school anticipated a large crowd, they were still unprepared for the overwhelming turnout and had to urgently call several more security guards for crowd control.
When Yang Lin arrived, the place was packed, and to prevent a stampede accident, the school gates had been closed to outsiders.
