After that, they ate, drank, and chatted, mostly about trivial things. Well, they were out in public, so they wouldn't bring up important matters.
However, she wasn't too disappointed, as she had managed to glean some information from those words.
This top leader was only recently transferred here. No wonder the second-in-command wanted to bring him down. Originally, the previous top leader left, and he was the most likely person to be promoted, but he was outmaneuvered by a newcomer. Who would be happy about that?
But he could only keep it to himself, having to flatter and fawn over people in public, and could only do things behind their backs.
The top leader, of course, understood his wolfish ambitions; to secure his position, the first priority was to eliminate him…
Moreover, I just overheard that group of people mentioning the top leader's wife, saying that she was in poor health, and they were all recommending famous doctors to him, and some even promised to find out where to get good ginseng, and so on.
Hey. Isn't this her forte? She has ginseng! Grandpa has several in his pile of stuff!
Having gotten what she wanted, she took off her work clothes and left as soon as the others left.
It was almost dark by then, so she quickly pedaled her bicycle back to the Bai family's main courtyard through the back gate.
Grandpa Bai has already rested, and Uncle Bai is waiting for her.
"You're back? The old man is getting on in years and insisted on waiting for you, so I persuaded him to go to sleep."
This was to explain to her that the old man wasn't leaving her behind, but rather that he had advised her to go and rest.
Bai Yajing waved her hand and said, "Fourth Uncle, you did the right thing. It's better for Grandpa to rest early at his age."
"Have you eaten? If not, Uncle will make you a bowl of noodles."
Bai Yajing felt a warmth in her heart. "Fourth Uncle, I've already eaten and I'm back. By the way, could you possibly get in touch with the head of the Brother's Committee?"
His wife needs ginseng, right? We have some!
Bai Laosi looked at her curiously, "Where did you know that? It's possible to get in touch, but your grandfather doesn't want to have anything to do with them."
Bai Yajing knew that what the old man needed most right now was to keep a low profile.
"Fourth Uncle, Qin Xuanyi and Bai Yazhu came to see me today..."
She recounted everything that happened to her that day.
Old Bai frowned, lost in thought.
"Fourth Uncle, the Qin family won't let this go. If they want to protect all their assets and lives, they won't let me off the hook..."
Vice President Qin is their ally, and with the two sides working together, our family will suffer in our current situation.
So, I'm planning to do something like this...
"Using someone else to do the dirty work?" Bai Lao Si looked up and stared at her intently. He was also taken aback. This girl was only sixteen or seventeen years old, but her cunning and methods were quite impressive. No wonder she was raised by the Kang family's elderly couple.
Bai Yajing gave him an approving look. "Not bad. It can be considered cooperating with the top leader. He wants to get rid of Vice President Qin, and we need to get rid of the Qin family father and son!"
The Qin family's continued existence will always be a hidden danger...
Bai Laosi straightened his back and his expression became much more serious.
"What are you planning to do? Getting on someone's good side isn't that easy. If we offer ginseng to them, they might just buy it at most, which is just a business deal."
Those who reach the top position are not easily fooled. Owing favors is their biggest taboo. They'll only buy their way out by paying more money.
Bai Yajing knew this, of course. What she needed wasn't to cultivate a good relationship with the top leader; she just needed to use him as a tool!
"Fourth Uncle, tell me, if we openly use the guise of selling ginseng to give him a big gift—a gift that can help him eliminate his opponents—wouldn't he be tempted?"
As for the big gift, the Bai family has been in Shanghai for so many years, how could Bai Lao Si not know whether the second-in-command's background is clean or not?
She had guessed it from their last conversation that the Bai family had something on Vice President Qin, and it was something significant.
Otherwise, someone as greedy as Vice President Qin wouldn't have waited until recently to take advantage of such a lucrative opportunity as the Bai family.
All she needed was a cover-up. Otherwise, given the Bai family's current image of having nothing to show for themselves, they might not even bother with her!
If you report it directly, the letter might not even reach the top leader's desk before it's dealt with.
Bai Laosi understood what she meant and couldn't help but laugh.
