Chapter 95 If you're willing, you can become a full-fledged employee at any time.
Song Chen smiled helplessly. Yes, his mother was only sixteen years older than him.
...
At this moment, Bai Tiantian pouted and glared at her older brother Bai Qi'an, "Brother, say it again!"
“Sweetie, I would never hurt you,” Bai Qi’an said, most afraid of his sister getting angry. “I have personally met the candidates for the arranged marriage. They are all excellent and good-looking, comparable to your brother me.”
Bai Tiantian rolled her eyes at Bai Qi'an, "Is our Bai family going to fall apart under your watch? Do you need your own sister to help you arrange a marriage?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bai Qi'an threw the cushion next to him at Bai Tiantian. "Am I really that useless?"
"Then you'll make me go through the arranged marriage," Bai Tiantian caught the cushion, "Why don't you go yourself?"
“Your little nephew is almost five years old, how can I arrange a marriage?” Bai Qi’an glared at her. “Besides, the Song family doesn’t have any daughters, only two sons. Even if I’m willing, they won’t be.”
"The Song family?" Bai Tiantian's eyes darted around when she heard the name "Song family." "Could it be Song Chen and Song Xu?"
"You know them?" Bai Qi'an felt there was a chance and moved closer to Bai Tiantian.
"Really?" Bai Tiantian's eyes lit up. "Can I choose either of them?"
“Well…” Bai Qi’an touched his nose, “This isn’t something we can decide on our own; it needs to be discussed.”
"However, I prefer your younger brother Song Xu. He is about the same age as you, and you are in the same university, so you can take care of each other."
“I choose Song Chen,” Bai Tiantian grabbed Bai Qi’an’s arm. “Song Xu won’t do.”
“Song Chen?” Bai Qi’an frowned. “Do you know that his identity is different from Song Xu’s?”
"What's the difference? Aren't they all surnamed Song?" Bai Tiantian had only met Song Chen today and only knew that he was Song Xu's older brother.
“Song Chen is the adopted son of the Song family,” Bai Qi’an told Bai Tiantian what he knew. “He was adopted when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. Although he also has shares in Huayue Group, he does not participate in management.”
"Besides, he's already twenty-five, there's quite a big age gap between you two."
Bai Qi'an wasn't too optimistic about Song Chen. He preferred his younger sister to marry Song Xu, but the Song family put both sons on the table at the same time and said they would seek their opinions.
The marriage is currently only in the discussion stage. If it becomes unsuitable or one party becomes too resistant, it will be terminated.
He didn't want to force his younger sister to get married.
“So he’s an adopted son. No wonder he doesn’t look much like Song Xu,” Bai Tiantian muttered to herself. “So what if he’s an adopted son? What I value is his character and talent.”
“Brother, I will marry no one but Song Chen in this life,” Bai Tiantian said to Bai Qi’an. “Go and tell the Song family that I have taken a liking to Song Chen.”
"Are you sure?" Bai Qi'an never expected that his little sister would fall for an old man like Song Chen, cough, even though he was a few years older than Song Chen.
“Absolutely,” Bai Tiantian said with a smile, “but I have one more condition.”
"What are the conditions?" Bai Qi'an always felt that his little sister wouldn't come up with anything good.
"Don't reveal my name or photo. We can't meet for now. I need to maintain a certain level of mystery." Bai Tiantian winked at Bai Qi'an.
Sure enough, Bai Qi'an was rendered speechless. "How am I supposed to explain this to the Song family?"
"I don't care," Bai Tiantian threw a cushion at Bai Qi'an, "You made a mess of this yourself, can't you even handle this little thing, you dignified CEO?"
"I understand, I understand." Bai Qi'an surrendered. No matter what, the result met expectations, even if it deviated a little, it was still better than a decisive rejection.
Bai Qi'an sighed heavily. Let's just leave it at that for now. A verbal marriage can also promote cooperation between the two sides, so it's a win-win situation.
...
Song Xu drove Lin Xi back to the apartment.
As soon as Lin Xi entered the room, she sat down on the sofa to rest. She had run too much today, and her calves were sore and swollen. She felt like her lungs were about to explode and coughed every now and then.
"How many meters did you run?" Song Xu sat down next to Lin Xi and gently patted her back.
Lin Xi shook her head, "I don't know, but it's very far, it feels farther than 800 meters."
The 800-meter dash is every girl's nightmare, and Lin Xi is no exception. Every time she takes the 800-meter test, she feels like she has died once, and her throat is filled with the taste of blood.
Running today was more tiring than running 800 meters, mainly because I was also extremely scared.
"Did you get a good look at the person who was following you?" Song Xu asked.
"It was a boy, all in black," Lin Xi recalled the man's appearance. "He was wearing a hat and a mask, so I couldn't see his face clearly. He was about 1.8 meters tall and rather thin. I don't know anything else."
Song Xu sighed. There are probably hundreds, if not thousands, of 1.8-meter-tall, slender boys at Jiang University. "I'll have someone check the surveillance footage tomorrow."
"Wouldn't this be too much trouble?" Lin Xi asked.
"Compared to trouble, isn't your safety more important?" Song Xu looked at her with displeasure. "You dare to covet my girlfriend? I'd like to see what kind of person you are."
"She's not really my girlfriend," Lin Xi muttered to herself.
“What, are you feeling wronged?” Song Xu pinched the back of her neck. “If you want, you can become a full-time employee anytime.”
Lin Xi looked at Song Xu in astonishment, "Don't joke around, aren't you afraid I'll really cling to you?"
"I couldn't be happier." Song Xu gave Lin Xi a playful smile.
Lin Xi brushed Song Xu's hand away, moved to the side, clasped her hands together, and stared at her toes. "I don't like this joke. Don't say things like that again."
“Xixi,” Song Xu sighed helplessly. Seeing her like a little hedgehog on guard, he said, “Alright, I won’t tease you anymore. I know you prefer to make money from me.”
Hearing Song Xu's words, Lin Xi looked at him suspiciously, "Actually, I've never understood why you would help me, helping me unconditionally from the very beginning."
"Would you believe me if I said it was love at first sight?" Song Xu asked with a smile.
Lin Xi shook her head. "I don't believe you. I still have some self-awareness."
She might believe it if another man said it, but she didn't believe Song Xu.
Song Xu shrugged. "You won't believe me even if I tell you, so there's nothing I can do."
Lin Xi frowned. How could she tell which of Song Xu's words were true and which were false?
Lin Xi was hungry. She hadn't eaten much of the snacks during the class meeting. She stood up, enduring the soreness in her legs, and asked, "I'm hungry. I'm going to make something to eat. Xu-ge, would you like some more?"
"You haven't had dinner yet?" Song Xu asked, raising an eyebrow.
Lin Xi nodded, "There were snacks during the class meeting, and I ate some."
He glanced at Lin Xi's slightly trembling legs. "You can't even stand properly, how can you cook? I'll cook for you."
