Bai Qianmo met with Meng Yao alone in the office.
"You've decided to go back?"
"Yes, I've already bought the train ticket."
"What day is it? I'll arrange for someone to take you to the station."
Although she only had a brief encounter with Meng Yao, she felt a sense of mutual appreciation.
Perhaps this is the mysterious magnetic field effect; it seems that who becomes friends with whom is drawn together by a mysterious magnetic field frequency.
"Tonight's train ticket," Meng Yao said with a smile.
Bai Qianmo frowned: "So fast? You've traveled all the way from a small town in the south to the capital, don't you want to look around a bit?"
After all, it's the capital city. People from other places who come here will want to visit some famous historical sites to make their trip worthwhile.
Meng Yao shook her head: "I won't go anymore. The children at school are waiting for me to go back."
Bai Qianmo knew that Meng Yao was teaching in a mountainous area. When she first met Meng Yao, she felt that the girl had a very peaceful and pure temperament, which was probably related to her environment.
When a person stays in one place for a long time, they will eventually be influenced by the local customs and traditions.
Meng Yao spends every day with the children, and her eyes seem to sparkle with stars.
"Alright, then I won't force you to stay."
After Meng Yao left the office, Chen Xiang walked in.
"Boss, is Meng Yao really leaving?"
"Okay, her train is tonight, you can drive her there."
Chen Xiang nodded, looking somewhat preoccupied.
Bai Qianmo suddenly remembered something and took out a bank card from the drawer.
"There's 500,000 here. Please give it to Meng Yao for me."
She just told me that most of the children at the school where she teaches are left-behind children, and the school's facilities are very dilapidated; some classrooms even have broken windows.
This reminded her of her own childhood experiences. Perhaps out of a shared sense of empathy, she wanted to do her part to help improve the environment for those children.
"Boss, you and Meng Yao are actually the same kind of people, both kind and wonderful girls," Chen Xiang sincerely praised.
Although Bai Qianmo appears to be much stronger than Meng Yao, in essence, regardless of their status, they remain soft and innocent at heart.
Bai Qianmo scoffed lightly: "Let Meng Yao say those nice words. This time she has chosen to go back to teach in a rural area, so the two of you will be separated by thousands of miles."
After saying that, Bai Qianmo looked at Chen Xiang with a meaningful expression.
From the moment Chen Xiang brought Meng Yao back, she and Su Peishan noticed that Chen Xiang treated Meng Yao very differently, especially the way he looked at her, which always held a hint of tenderness.
She wouldn't believe it if you said Chen Xiang had no feelings for Meng Yao.
Chen Xiang, a grown man, blushed, perhaps because something had been touched on his sensitive spot.
"Boss, don't talk nonsense. I only just met Meng Yao. I just sympathize with what she went through. I admire her for being able to maintain her kindness and courage after experiencing such a big change in her life."
Bai Qianmo chuckled: "No need to rush to explain, lest you be embarrassed later."
Chen Xiang opened his mouth, but in the end, it turned into a helpless smile.

afternoon
Gou Si suddenly called and asked to meet her alone.
The location is a coffee shop downstairs in the bustling building.
After finishing her work, Bai Qianmo took the elevator down to the first floor.
It was 3:30 pm, and the coffee shop was quiet.
Upon entering, Bai Qianmo noticed that Gou Si was sitting at a table in the corner.
When she came in, Gou Si waved to her.
Bai Qianmo walked straight over.
In fact, after Cai Minmin's incident, she had already anticipated that Gou Si would talk to her.
"Qianmo, come and sit down."
"Fourth Brother."
After Bai Qianmo sat down, Gou Si smiled, called over a waiter, and asked Bai Qianmo what she wanted to drink.
Then I ordered two coffees.
"I went abroad for a few days and just got back this morning."
Bai Qianmo took a sip of coffee and lifted her eyelids to look at Gou Si.
"Fourth Brother must have come because of Cai Minmin, right?"
Gou Si's smile froze for a moment, then he shook his head with a smile.
"It seems you knew I would come."
"I never intended to be enemies with Cai Minmin. After all, we're from the same company. She's too impatient."
Before its wings are fully grown, it tries to usurp the nest.
And I am by no means a magnanimous person.
“I understand what you’re saying. Cai Minmin is a very ambitious girl. She wants too much and is too eager for it. To put it bluntly, she’s just a young girl in her early twenties. She thinks she’s very smart, but many of her thoughts have been revealed in our daily conversations. Qianmo, I’m not here to plead for Cai Minmin. Given her current situation, she’s completely finished.”
At this point, Gou Si took a puff of his cigar.
"Then why did Fourth Brother see me today?"
"I came back from the United States this time and accidentally discovered a secret."
At this point, Gou Si stared intently at Bai Qianmo.
"I now know the true identity of Death."
Bai Qianmo looked at Gou Si with a calm expression.
"Then what?"
Gou Si remained silent for a while.
"It turned out that I actually knew this person, haha, and it was someone I would never have guessed even if I racked my brains."
Bai Qianmo placed her hands on the table, her fingertips gently rubbing the backs of her hands, as if waiting for Gou Si to continue speaking, or perhaps deep in thought.
"Qianmo, you at least call me Fourth Brother. It's not very nice of you not to tell me something so important."
Gou Si raised his voice with a hint of resentment, clearly having already confirmed that Bai Qianmo was the Grim Reaper.
Bai Qianmo, on the other hand, remained calm.
Gou Si has a lot of economic ties with the United States, especially in the past two years he has been focusing on investing in US stocks, so it is not surprising that he discovered the identity of the Grim Reaper.
"It's just an identity I had in the past, and I don't think it's important to tell everyone I meet."
Gou Si took a deep drag on his cigarette.
"That tone is so Versailles-like. If you were a man, I might have punched you right now."
A Wall Street financial tycoon actually felt that his identity wasn't that important.
He deserves a beating!
"It's unbelievable that a god of the financial world would descend to earth and compete with a minor celebrity for resources in the entertainment industry, while being smeared online by a group of haters every day. Why are you so desperate? Do you have too much money and don't know what to do with it? Or do you feel that your previous life was too comfortable and want to suffer for yourself?"
"Fourth Brother, you wouldn't understand," Bai Qianmo chuckled softly.
Gou Si looked stunned.
Bai Qianmo continued, "Only those who stand at the top of the pyramid know the loneliness of being the only one sober when everyone else is drunk!"
Gou Si: "..."
Isn't mocking his pretentiousness enough?
He really wanted to hit someone!
