Bai Lu saw a pearl, set in the arc at the end of the crescent moon, shimmering with a soft white light.
It flashed by inside the closed door.
Is it the Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon?
Is the crescent moon shape with a white pearl of the same size and shape the same as the pearl hair clip "Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon"?
They look so alike!!!
Bai Lu desperately wanted to break down the door and take one last look, but a second before closing the door, the drawer was still being pulled outwards.
One more look and I'll be sure!
But Yun Ruolin left without looking back.
Back in the operations director's office, he took out his phone and dialed "Feng's" number.
"Has Xiao Cheng seen Bai Lu recently?"
Feng: "One message is worth a million."
Yun Ruolin: "Why don't you just rob it!"
Feng: "They're robbing it now."
Yun Ruolin: "..."
The ten-year period has ended. Feng has repaid Yun Ruolin's father for saving his life, and there is no longer any connection between them.
Yun Ruolin needed Feng to do something; it was a business transaction, and money was the deciding factor.
"explain."
Feng laughed: "I like doing business with generous people like President Yun. I've met him before."
Yun Ruolin asked again, "Where have I seen you before?"
The wind said, "One location, one million."
Yun Ruolin: "..."
During the power struggle within the Yun family, Yun Ruolin assisted her father in taking the throne and received a significant number of shares in the Yun family businesses, making her a billionaire.
A mere few million is nothing at all.
Yun Ruolin was furious that Feng was raising prices on the spot.
"You wouldn't tell me before, but deliberately waited until now to make such an outrageous demand. Is this how you repay my father for saving your life?"
"How can you say it was intentional?" Feng retorted seriously, "I told you some scraps of information and you managed to get the Yun family's property confiscated. If I told you a few more things, wouldn't your father come after me to the death?"
"I am a person who knows how to repay kindness. I will not retaliate until the debt of gratitude has been repaid."
Yun Ruolin's face turned pale and then flushed.
As for Xiao Cheng, you can get information from the chief secretary, but as for Bai Lu, you can't get information from anyone except Feng.
Otherwise, Yun Ruolin wouldn't have sought out Feng.
Even knowing they'd been ripped off, they could only accept it: "Where was the last time we met?"
Perhaps delighted that another million had arrived, Feng Miao replied, "South City Coffee Shop."
Bai Lu remembers that during graduation season, she only went to the Chengnan Coffee Shop outside the school once.
It was on graduation day.
Her family wanted to celebrate for her, so they made a reservation at their favorite private kitchen, and her aunt came to pick her up.
The White Dew season arrives early. While waiting for my aunt at the coffee shop, the proprietress even gave her a bouquet of flowers to wish her a bright future.
During her four years of university, Bai Lu visited coffee shops only a handful of times. Her occasional chats with the proprietress were nothing more than casual greetings between gentlemen.
The unexpected flower delivery was a bit surprising, but it was also within the realm of common sense.
There was no one else in the store at the time, and no familiar alumni were passing by outside, so Bai Lu didn't think much of it.
Even now, upon careful recollection, Bai Lu has never seen Xiao Cheng, either inside or outside the coffee shop.
Perhaps Xiao Cheng was just passing by?
"Was Xiao Cheng going to see Bai Lu specifically, or was he just passing by?" Yun Ruolin asked, voicing her womanly intuition.
Feng first reminded him, "Three million~" before answering, "Both."
Yun Ruolin frowned: "What do you mean?"
Five million.
Feng casually taught Yun Ruolin a lesson in what it truly meant to raise prices arbitrarily.
Bai Lu watched as Yun Ruolin's face turned a deep, liver-colored hue, something that was extremely rare to see.
She really hoped that Yun Ruolin would generously buy all the information Guangfeng had.
We can definitely deduce what Xiao Cheng is planning to do.
Unfortunately, Yun Ruolin only had half a romantic mind; the other half was a business mind, and she only bought the essentials.
Have Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu met formally?
The wind didn't understand: "What exactly constitutes formality?"
Yun Ruolin: "Let's chat face to face."
Feng said "Oh": "I didn't know before, but not recently. It's four million."
Yun Ruolin: "There's no need to remind me. I, Yun Ruolin, am not so poor that I can't afford to give you a few million."
Feng sneered: "Of course. President Yun's reputation is well-known in the business world. He certainly won't shortchange me on these few million. Even if he accidentally forgets, I will personally come to you to ask for it. I must help you build this reputation steadily."
Yun Ruolin was speechless with anger. She pursed her lips and asked, "Is the recent purge of the China Securities Regulatory Commission related to Bai Lu?"
Bai Lu felt that Yun Ruolin was truly possessed.
The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) is a department directly under the State Council. Without the approval of higher authorities, who dares to act, and who can act?
"I think you've gone mad from having your home ransacked." Feng also thought Yun Ruolin had gone insane.
"How am I supposed to investigate something like this? Even if I did find out, I wouldn't tell you."
Yun Ruolin: "..."
"How much?"
"This isn't about money. With your suicidal tendencies, after you confiscate my property, you'll also take down my accomplices. I haven't even spent four million, and I'll be dragged down to my death by you!"
Bai Lu discovered that the wind, after the ten-year period was lifted, had let itself go.
They dare to say anything.
It's unclear whether those ten years of service were due to moral blackmail by Yun Ruolin's father or were voluntary.
Overall, pretty arrogant.
Enraged, even the usually composed Yun Ruolin lost her temper: "Enough nonsense! Does Xiao Cheng know that the judge investigating the personnel is Bai Lu's father and the prosecutor is Bai Lu's maternal grandfather?"
The wind said, "I know, five million."
Yun Ruolin gripped her teacup tightly, took a sip of cold tea, and composed herself: "Does Xiao Cheng have any plans or actions?"
After a moment of silence, Feng said, "Thirty million."
Yun Ruolin hung up the phone immediately.
Bai Lu wanted to strangle her.
