At the end of August, the weather in Beicheng wasn’t so hot.
Lin Guangxu and Manager Zhao were in the office, discussing Bai Qiming’s reaction just now.
"This President Bai has been so determined to secure this cooperation, making such efforts before and after. How did he drop the ball at the critical moment?" Lin Guangxu sat down with narrowing eyes.
Both shrewd, they had already guessed there must be more to this.
"Speaking of which," said Manager Zhao as he sat opposite Lin Guangxu, picking up the teapot to pour a cup of tea for Lin Guangxu, "Miss Bai and President Bai both share the Bai surname."
The same surname... Bai...
This point rang a bell for Lin Guangxu.
After much contemplation, not daring to disturb Xiaoqi, he decided to ask Xun Chun instead.
Xun Chun was also one of Xiaoqi’s top generals, smart and quick to learn anything. She had a hand in the design of the Xuankang logo, a veteran figure by now.
And she was very approachable.
All the managers under her got on very well with her.
Jiangjing.
Xun Chun had the day off today. Wearing a silver tank top and denim shorts, her chestnut curls casually draped behind her head, she leaned against the bubble tea shop at the edge of the university town’s snack street.
Waiting for the boss to make her a mango pomelo sago.
Upon receiving Lin Guangxu’s call, she didn’t say much but flipped through her phone and sent him a piece of news.
"Classmate," the boss handed the mango pomelo sago to her, noting Xun Chun’s attire and the direction she was looking in, "are you a student from the fine arts college?"
The boss who had seen many students thought Xun Chun, with her aura, very much resembled those studying art.
Particularly those from the fine arts college.
"Me?" Xun Chun took the mango pomelo sago, thanked him, and replied, "I’m not a college student."
Not a college student?
The boss looked at Xun Chun with a hint of surprise but didn’t inquire further.
Xun Chun inserted the transparent straw into the bubble tea cup and took a sip of the chilly mango pomelo sago before glancing once more in the direction of the fine arts college.
She waved at the boss.
And turned to leave.
That very evening, rumors spread of Lin Guangxu dining with the Wei family.
Bai Qiming stepped out of the ancestral hall, having just received this news from his secretary, and his expression grew increasingly dim.
He wandered into the Family Conference Room in a daze.
The spacious conference room felt empty, redwood chairs lining the sides of the ten-meter table, all unoccupied.
He pulled out the chair at the far left and sat down. "Tell me, did I do something wrong?"
The butler stood silently behind Bai Qiming, knowing what he was thinking but not daring to chime in.
When Bai Shaoke first appeared, the entire Bai Family saw him as a savior. Later, after topping the Beicheng High School exam, he became the pinnacle achievement of the Bai Family for decades. Even the butler thought that the Family wouldn’t see another descendent like him for decades to come.
Therefore, the Bai Family’s great-uncle went to great lengths.
He invited Bai Shaoke and Bai Shaoqi back.
Driving away Ji Mulan and leaving only Bai Lian behind.
Back then, Bai Lian was considered uneducated, and even the butler felt that bringing Bai Shaoke back was the right thing to do.
Who knew that in just two short years, such a drastic change would occur.
The girl who was once caught cheating in school and rejected by Beicheng High School later became the top scholar in the national exams. Now, she had a significant relationship with Xuankang, a pharmaceutical empire that had branches all over the country. Who could have seen that coming?
