Gu Jueye, Ji Cong'an, and Du Muchen left together.
Before leaving, Ji Cong'an called Bai Qianmo aside.
After stammering for a while, I finally mustered up the courage to ask the question that I cared about.
Did she say anything to you when she left?
"Her? Who is she?"
Ji Cong'an clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, coughed softly, and murmured in a very soft tone.
"Don't pretend, you know who I'm talking about."
Bai Qianmo chuckled: "Oh, you mean Qinghan, right? She didn't say anything when she left."
"Haven't you mentioned me?" A hint of disappointment appeared on his face.
Did his forceful kiss have no effect on her at all?
Even if she had to yell at him in front of her best friend, what was she thinking?
Ji Cong'an was filled with questions and a sense of frustration.
Bai Qianmo tilted her head and looked at him: "Why did I bring you up?"
Ji Cong'an: ...
Why bring him up? Well, aside from their previous employer-employee relationship and how he, her boss, had exploited her, there really didn't seem to be any other connection!
"Well, if you didn't mention it, then forget it."
Bai Qianmo smiled slyly: "Young Master An, have you done something bad?"
Ji Cong'an's face darkened, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense, you little kid. And from now on, call me 'brother'!"
Heh, he finally had a chance to gain the upper hand in front of the Duke, so he had to correct this girl's form of address.
"If I marry Mr. Gu, won't you have to call me aunt?"
"You... how come you're just like your partner?"
They're all so cunning.
A cunning man walked over, stretched out his long arm, and pulled the little girl into his arms.
"What does it look like?"
Ji Cong'an took a deep breath and immediately backed down.
"Hehe, both of you are outstanding and erudite, truly a match made in heaven!"
Bah, bah, bah, they're more like a pair of cunning and treacherous foxes.
Gu Jueye and Bai Qianmo exchanged a smile.
"That's a very apt description."
Ji Cong'an: ...
How shameless!
*
After Gu Jueye, Ji Cong'an, and Du Muchen left, Bai Qianmo returned to Jayen's room.
Jayne leaned against the headboard, staring at her with a profound gaze.
It's as if they're investigating something.
"how?"
"Brother Ye, I suddenly feel like you're a stranger. During those two years when we were setting up the UK Fund, we were together every day. In my eyes, you were a serious and ruthless person. Despite your young age, your methods were more sophisticated than those of a powerful Wall Street tycoon. How come you've become like this in front of Gu Jueye?"
Bai Qianmo poured a glass of water, walked to the bedside, and handed the glass to Jayne.
"What?"
Jayne took a sip of water from his glass, trying to think of a suitable adjective.
"Becoming more 'feminine'"
Bai Qianmo: "...You seem to have overlooked my gender."
"Did you ever consider yourself a woman before?" Jayne retorted.
In his memory, this woman, when dressed as a man, was even more domineering and powerful than him.
Doesn't she have any idea how many girls are around her?
"I remember that Jiang Xiaoyu and your Senior Sister Yin both tried to throw themselves at you before."
She forgot, so he came to remind her.
Bai Qianmo calmly replied, "Because you are not Gu Jueye."
Because you are not Gu Jueye, she doesn't need to remember that she is a girl at all.
Jayne felt like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat.
Why did he bring this up?
Is it because they think his single life isn't painful enough?
"Alright, let's leave this topic here. I think we need to do something about Huo Xiuxiu."
"What are your thoughts?" Bai Qianmo asked, sitting on a chair by the bed.
“Naturally, it’s the simplest and most direct way!” Jayne blinked.
Bai Qianmo smiled knowingly.
Three points
Bai Kangyan brought Jin Wancai to the 17th floor of the Hilton Hotel.
This floor houses Hilton's restaurants, primarily serving the hotel's guests.
In a private room
Jin Wancai nervously loosened his tie. Bai Kangyan went out to make a phone call and then returned to the private room.
"Mr. Bai, has Mr. Jayne arrived?"
"They've already headed this way."
Jin Wancai took a deep breath, feeling increasingly nervous.
UK funds hold a pivotal position internationally, arguably influencing the entire global financial market.
The executive of such a world-renowned organization is about to have a face-to-face conversation with him, and even someone as seasoned in the business world as him will still feel a great deal of pressure.
Squeak
The door was gently pushed open.
The first person to enter was a service staff member in professional attire. After respectfully opening the door, the staff member stood to the side.
"Please come in, both of you."
Bai Kangyan had informed the staff in advance that anyone arriving should be invited in directly.
Jin Wancai jumped up from his seat, his face plastered with a fawning smile.
Bai Kangyan also stood up.
When Jayne and Bai Qianmo walked in one after the other, Jin Wancai's smile immediately spread across his face.
Bai Qianmo actually came with Jayne?
What exactly is their relationship?
"Mr. Jayne, are you feeling better?" Bai Kangyan asked with concern.
Jayne wore his usual casual smile. He was dressed in a navy blue casual outfit with wide sleeves that neatly concealed the bandages wrapped around his arms.
