Chapter 452 The Little Beloved of the Domineering President (18)
Bai Yao sat in the office and read through all the information about Shanshui Zhinan that her assistant had collected, which was interspersed with a few old photos and old newspaper reports.
She picked up a black-and-white photo. Shanshui Academy looked very impressive, and the words on the plaque were written in a vigorous and powerful manner. Standing at the gate of the academy was a scholar in a long gown, who looked very amiable. Under the photo, it was written that this person was Dean Qiao of Shanshui Academy.
Bai Yao picked up another old newspaper with a very old feel. There was also a photo on it, but the academy in the photo had become a ruin. The reporter also introduced Shanshui Academy and praised Dean Qiao and the wealthy businessmen who protected the students during the war.
There was also a photo of Dean Qiao, who was 20 years older, shaking hands with a wealthy businessman named Qi. Although the two men were smiling, they were skinny, with prominent cheekbones, sunken eyes, and sickly faces.
It seemed that the two men had not lived well after the academy was abandoned.
The article highly praised their contributions to the children and said that their reunion after many years had brought out the brilliance of humanity.
The assistant said: "According to records, after the meeting, the two agreed to revisit the ruins of the academy, but they were old and slipped and fell to death in the ruins."
Bai Yao pointed to the photo of Dean Qiao and said, "Could this person be Qiao Wanwan's ancestor?"
"This Dean Qiao is Qiao Wanwan's great-great-grandfather."
Bai Yao retracted his finger and sighed, "It's a small world."
The assistant was hesitant to speak.
Bai Yao said, "Just say whatever you want to say."
"Boss Bai." The assistant thought for a while before saying, "There are always strange things happening in Shanshuizhinan. I heard that you have moved there. From a safety perspective, I think it would be better if you move out."
Bai Yao's assistant Xiao Luo is a girl. She was originally an ordinary secretary. Because she refused to be dragged out by her boss to socialize and accompany drinking, even though she graduated from a prestigious university, she is very capable and has done a lot of things, but she has no chance of getting a promotion or a raise.
She is from a single-parent family, her mother is sick, and she has a younger sister who just started elementary school to take care of. Reality forced her to find her boss in the corner of the stairwell and be willing to accept the unspoken rules.
At that time, she still remembered that the man smiled, "I thought you were so noble? Now you are offering yourself up to me. Okay, there is a card game at my house today, so come to my house."
The man grabbed her hand, and she suppressed her hatred and did not struggle.
"You are blocking my way, please make way."
The sudden voice startled them all.
The young woman was barefoot on the ground, wearing a neat and tidy professional suit, holding a bag in one hand and a pair of high heels in the other. Her hair was simply tied up, her makeup was exquisite, and her eyes that examined people revealed her superiority.
The man quickly let go of Xiao Luo's hand. He first thought the girl was very beautiful, and then he saw that the woman was unfamiliar, so he thought she was new. "Which department are you from? Let's get to know each other and make friends."
The girl laughed and said, "Xia Jian, 36 years old, single, bought my high school diploma, studied at a fake university abroad, bought my graduation thesis, and got a job as a small supervisor in the company through my uncle who is the director of the human resources department. I have been working for 13 years and have been working for a long time." You haven't made any contribution to the company, you can leave now, and don't come tomorrow.
" Xia Jian's face changed, "Who are you? What gives you the right to ask me not to come to the company anymore!"
She walked up from between Xia Jian and Xiao Luo, without even looking at others, "I am the vice president who joined the company today, I want to fire you, no one will dare to contradict me."
Xia Jian: "You are so arrogant! How could the company let a yellow-haired girl like you become the vice president right after entering the company!"
"Can't you see it?" The girl turned around, raised the corners of her lips, and said righteously: "My background is stronger than yours."
What kind of background is it that can parachute a vice president into the company?
Xia Jian realized something, "You, your last name is Bai?"
She did not answer such a boring question, but looked at Xiao Luo on the other side, "You are a top student who graduated from Peking University and Tsinghua University. In the five years since you joined the company, you have worked overtime almost every day and made countless PPTs and planning plans for this useless company. I have read your information, and some of the plans you made are good. I like them very much."
She added: "Do you want to work under me? At least I can guarantee that I will not let you work overtime."
This is a very young woman. In the workplace, youth is the least trustworthy thing. However, her arrogant attitude in her every move makes people feel that they just need to follow her.
Xiao Luo came back to her senses from her daze. She quickly ran up the stairs and took the bag and shoes from her new boss. "It's my honor to work for Vice President Bai."
"I don't like people calling me Vice President."
"Yes, President Bai."
Xia Jian's face was livid. "Even if you are the Vice President, you can't fire me at will! I didn't do anything that violated the company's rules!"
He was betting that no one could find evidence of his violation of discipline.
The girl on the stairs glanced back, smiled nonchalantly, and retracted her gaze. As she walked up, she said, "Doesn't anyone usually inspect this company building? The elevator actually broke down."
Xiao Luo immediately replied, "I will contact the maintenance personnel immediately and ask them to do a comprehensive inspection and maintenance."
And Xia Jian was fired the next day because he stepped into the company gate with his left foot.
Xiao Luo was very grateful to Bai Yao. If she hadn't appeared just in time, he would have definitely been stuck in the quagmire. Even if he could climb out, he would be covered in dirt.
Bai Yao opened an envelope of old photos. Inside were things that Xiao Luo had been collecting for a long time. Xiao Luo was very reliable and had never let Bai Yao down.
The old black-and-white photos in here were either incomplete or blurred. They were taken more than a hundred years ago, at a cocktail party with toasts clinking, of the best and luckiest students in the academy standing on the stage.
These children faced the camera for the first time, and their body movements and expressions looked terrified.
When she saw the last photo, Bai Yao paused for a moment, then she put all the photos into an envelope, opened her thermos and drank a sip of tea. She asked, "Where did the children in the photos go afterwards? Is there any record?"
Xiao Luo shook his head embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, I searched for a long time, but because these children don't have names, and the roster was lost when the academy was abandoned, I can't find the identities of these children."
"Well, you've worked hard during this period." Bai Yao smiled and said, "I gave you extra workload. I will transfer the hard work fee from my personal account to your card."
Xiao Luo did not refuse, because she had been used to Bai Yao's work style since she worked for him. She couldn't help but say, "Boss Bai, that place in Shanshuizhinan..."
"Don't worry, I live there and it's safe. My boyfriend is there."
Xiao Luo stopped talking about this topic. She glanced at the thermos on the table and saw the wolfberries floating in it. "Boss Bai, have you started to take care of your health recently?"
Bai Yao covered the cup. "Yes, I'm taking care of my body."
Xiao Luo said, "Boss Bai, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm not feeling unwell, it's just that my boyfriend is a little insecure, so I'm taking care of my body to prepare for pregnancy."
Xiao Luo: "..."
Bai Yao didn't think what she said was strange at all. She touched her chin and muttered: "This way, when I'm at work, he will have the child to play with, and he shouldn't be so anxious when he can't see me every day."
Xiao Luo: "..."
Mr. Bai!
Children are not born to be played with by your husband!
Can you please stop pampering the wild man outside!
"Yaoyao is missing me, Yaoyao is missing me super, Yaoyao is missing me super invincible..."
The young man sat barefoot on the window, his long white hair scattered in a mess, pouring down like flowing light and spreading on the floor.
He lazily leaned against the pillow behind him, and the loose robe he casually wore was not carefully arranged. His fair chest was half exposed, and his strong and long legs covered with marks lazily hung on the ground along the window.
Knowing that he never liked to take care of himself at home, and fearing that he would catch a cold, a layer of fluffy carpet was laid on the floor. His legs swayed lightly, and his toes slid across the fluffy carpet one by one, which was very comfortable.
The chocolate on the ground had been spilled everywhere.
Xie Jiu held a box full of chocolates, threw out a pack of chocolates, and muttered to himself.
"Yaoyao is thinking about me."
"Yaoyao is missing me so much." "
Yaoyao is missing me super invincible."
"Yaoyao is missing me super invincible and thunderous."
...
He could play such a boring and childish little game for an entire afternoon.
There was a familiar sound of a car downstairs.
Xie Jiu immediately threw away the chocolate box. He perked up and leaned on the window, staring at the woman who got off the car with his red eyes shining.
He stepped on the chocolates on the ground and ran out of the room. He casually stepped on the bear slippers and ran down the stairs. When he reached the door, he slowed down his pace, took a deep breath for a while, and his excited expression cooled down a lot.
Xie Jiu walked out slowly, crossed his arms, raised his face slightly, and turned his face away coquettishly, "You are 32 seconds late."
When he turned his face away, the wind blew his long hair, covering most of his face.
But soon a girl's hand brushed his long hair away, and her hand stayed on the skin on his face, touching him so comfortably.
Bai Yao smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I came back thirty-two seconds late. What should I do to make you calm down?"
Xie Jiu pursed his lips and uttered two words in a noble and cold voice, "Kiss me."
She deliberately said, "What if I don't want to be kissed?"
Xie Jiu was anxious. He didn't know whether his request was too excessive or Bai Yao was tired of playing with him. Before his brain thought, he had already said, "If you don't kiss me, don't even think about touching me in the future."
Bai Yao said nothing.
Xie Jiu's red eyes were hazy, as if blood would flow out of them at any time. He stammered: "I'm sorry... Yaoyao, I shouldn't threaten you..."
The next second, Bai Yao stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips. She hugged him exaggeratedly and said exaggeratedly: "How can you ask me not to touch you! If you don't let me touch you, it will cost me my life!"
Xie Jiu was stunned for a while, then hugged her tightly. He smiled happily, and the expression that was about to drop gold beans just now was now full of pride.
