"So, has everything been settled?"
Madam Bai slowly sipped the recently popular black tea. It was quite sweet, but the color was rather nice, so it was passable.
The figure paused, then quickly replied, "The other party does not agree, and even intends to use some underhanded tactics to put pressure on us."
"He doesn't deserve it. If I hadn't found him useful last time, he would have been slaughtered long ago, you idiot."
"Yes, Madam is right."
Madam Bai did not get angry when she heard this, which was completely different from what Lu Yulan had just seen. Moreover, her eyes darted down and she saw Lu Yulan's spaceship leaving.
Her slender, red-dyed fingernails tapped lightly on the rim of the teacup. "Since he's so ungrateful, let's teach him a lesson."
“What you say is true, madam.”
"Some people only realize the value of something after they've lost it, huh!"
Madam Bai's voice drifted through the air along with the fragrance of the flower room, and no one knew what was about to happen.
...
At the college, it was almost 5 p.m., the time for the freshman ceremony.
"Has she not been found yet?"
"Minister, not yet. We still have half an hour. Should we make a video call?"
Chu Xinglin thought for a moment. The other party might not be familiar with the video call, and Wei Guang was also there, so there should be no problem. The capital city is not that big, and it should be possible to make a round trip in half an hour.
"No need, you..."
"Chu Xinglin, come here, I need to talk to you."
Having been out of the public eye for a long time due to the doping scandal, Cage swaggered toward Chu Xinglin as if Chu Xinglin were his servant.
However, in Cage's mind, there was no difference, since the other party liked his sister and would grant his every request.
The assistant frowned. This was the student council president's office area, and the other party's behavior was really going too far, acting as if no one else was there.
"minister?"
"It's alright, you can go now."
"yes."
The assistant reluctantly went downstairs and then considerately closed the door behind him.
Chu Xinglin glanced at Cage, then looked down at the documents in his hand. "Is there something you need?"
"Of course, my father wants me to pursue Miss Julie, but I heard that you didn't seem to give her any face, so I'd like to ask you to help me pursue her."
Cage is not very bright; even Karin is smarter than him. For example, Karin never believed the nonsense that Chu Xinglin liked her, but Cage believed it. He would even use his sister's connections to ask Chu Xinglin for help, and he always succeeded, so he believed it even more.
Chu Xinglin pressed the stem of his glasses behind his ear to adjust its position, as it was pressing on his blood vessels and making him feel uncomfortable.
"You like beautiful women, but I saw that Miss Julie. She's plain-looking and not your type."
Speaking of this, Cage got angry, but he didn't dare to slander his own father. That Miss Julie was not only plain, she was ugly, especially compared to his sister. Even that good-for-nothing Lu family member was prettier than her.
Already feeling irritated, Chu Xinglin's question only made her more agitated. "What do you know? She's one of the five great noble families. Father said..."
"say what?"
Cage looked at Chu Xinglin, and suddenly a thought struck him. "None of your business. Anyway, I promised her that she would speak at the freshman ceremony. If you don't help me, I won't take you to see my sister."
Cage, emboldened by his success, threatened Chu Xinglin, knowing he always succeeded.
"I'm afraid that won't work, since I've never seen your sister."
