Chapter 56 Chapter 56 Saving her seems like saving myself...
Bai Shuting had inquired about this before he said this.
When the biological daughter who had been living away from home came home, she hardly had a day of rest and was busy everywhere. She hardly stayed at home and had very little time to interact with them.
First, his brother-in-law Ao Teng got into trouble, and then he went on a variety show recording.
They were all busy with important matters, so Bai Shuting didn't dare to disturb them casually.
It's a rare day for Qingqing to have a rest today. What he wanted to say was, if you don't have anything to do today, I won't go to the company. Your mother, third brother and I will stay at home and we will have a family day together.
Who knew that the solution would be to bring my daughter, who had a rare rest, to the company.
This is so wrong!
And what did he just say? How can he say "you don't have any plans for the future"? Doesn't that mean he is not satisfied with what the child is doing now?
Bai Shuting's face darkened, and he reflected frantically inwardly.
The table was quiet and silent, but Ao Teng was already in action. As Master Qingqing's agent, secretary assistant, and uncle, he instinctively took out a small tablet and reported Master Qingqing's schedule:
"There is a city tour at 11am today, and a live broadcast of Heart Signal at 8pm."
Ao Teng explained the live broadcast for fear that Bai Shuting didn't understand: "It's the Xuanzong show on Qingqing. In addition to recording the show every episode, each guest is required to take four hours out of their daily routine to live broadcast in front of the audience, which plays a role in promotion."
"Yeah." Bai Shuting paused to reflect and responded. After that, he felt that his answer was too brief, and he was afraid that it would make his attitude look worse, so he quickly added:
"knew."
Ao Teng: "..."
Ao Xinyi: "..."
Ao Xinyi put her hand under the table and secretly pinched her husband's thigh, asking him to speak properly.
Except for Bai Lincheng and the third brother Bai Siqi, the others couldn't help but focus on Bai Shuting's ugly expression.
Ao Xinyi sighed inwardly at her tongue-tied husband and answered for him, "Why do you want to take Qingqing to the company? You have to tell her first so that Qingqing can decide whether to go or not."
Bai Shuting had something to say, so he quickly added a few words: "Take Qingqing around the entire company and each department. Let her listen to the introductions and feel the atmosphere of the company and the environment of each department. It's like getting acquainted with her own company."
Bai Shuting rarely spoke a long sentence and felt that he performed well. After he finished speaking, he opened his eyes wide and gave his daughter an energetic and kind smile.
Bai Qingqing's lips twitched and she put down the cup in her hand.
【What a genuine, kind smile! 】
Bai Shuting immediately retracted his smile and his facial features became solemn.
Suddenly, a voice came out of the heart at the dinner table, with an ups and downs in the tone. It was obvious that he was speaking sarcastically. It was obvious that Bai Shuting's smile scared people again.
Even though the smile on his face was fleeting, Ao Xinyi couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
Bai Lincheng raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Qingqing. Bai Siqi showed a faint smile on her face. Ao Teng had been living in the Bai family for the past few days, and he was still behaving himself, with his head buried deep in the tablet.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly changed. Bai Muning noticed it keenly. He glanced at his father's gloomy face and saw that the corners of his lips were tight and slightly pressed down.
She guessed that her father was not happy with Bai Qingqing's high-profile career as a Feng Shui master.
That’s right. Given the image and status of the Bai family and the Bai Group in the circle, how could my father and mother allow someone in the family to engage in this kind of profession?
Bai Muning restrained his expression, said nothing, and watched the development of the situation quietly.
Ao Teng's eyes were glued to the tablet, so he took the opportunity to cover his face. He took a few seconds to adjust his expression and said with a serious smile, "It's still early, and there's still some time before noon. Qingqing, why don't you go to the group? Brother-in-law is right, you have to recognize your own door, so just treat it as going out for fun."
Bai Shuting: "Yes."
Ao Teng is Master Qingqing's uncle. His niece has just returned home, and he also wants her to have a closer relationship with his family.
Bai Qingqing thought it was okay and nodded in agreement: "Okay, let's go take a look."
Bai Shuting breathed a sigh of relief, loosened his clenched fists under the table, and continued to eat breakfast with everyone else.
*
The news that Bai Shuting, chairman of Bai Group, and Bai Lincheng, the group's CEO, brought a strange girl into the company and personally took her to inspect various departments of the group spread like wildfire and flew throughout the entire Bai Group building in just ten minutes.
I didn't expect to hear such explosive news just after I got to work in the morning. The company's intranet was blown up.
When they first saw the girl, they thought she was a newcomer who had been parachuted into the secretary's office. However, an employee secretly watched them for a while and found that this was not the case.
Their CEO Bai Lincheng was still as quiet and taciturn as usual, walking in front of the team with his long legs.
But the chairman was different. He leaned towards the girl, stretched out his hand, and introduced the various departments and jobs to her.
Director Bai is very tall, over 1.9 meters. When he went through the various departments and stopped briefly to introduce himself, he was afraid that the girl couldn't hear him clearly, so he bent over the whole time and introduced himself in the girl's ear.
Although he didn't say much, his kind and patient attitude was evident.
[Which floor are we on now? Chairman, does every department need to come and see?]
[Third floor, turning from bottom to top]
[Who is this person? He doesn’t look very old and doesn’t look like someone who will lead the team.]
[The parachute is gone anyway]
[Don’t just talk, can you please send me a photo?]
[They walked very fast. I didn’t react when they first came. I saw the people were right in front of me, so I didn’t dare to take pictures. I couldn’t even see them clearly.]
[Who is next? Take a picture.]
"Ahem... hurry up and get back to your seats and put down your phones. Director Bai is leading people to inspect the work, so you all should be serious."
The heads of various departments spontaneously rectified employee discipline, staring intently at the mobile phones in the hands of each employee until their eyes returned to the computer screen.
The Bai Group's business covers a wide range and includes many departments.
There are thousands of employees at the group headquarters alone.
If I were to visit every department and learn about them in detail, I'm afraid even one day would not be enough.
Bai Shuting just wanted to have a close contact environment with his daughter and didn't want to tire her out, so he took her to visit some important departments, almost giving her a cursory introduction.
The last important department is the technical department, where most people are sleeping on their chairs.
Bai Shuting had a stern face and nodded to the few awake employees. Without interrupting them, he leaned over and whispered to Bai Qingqing, "The technical department made a major breakthrough in our core technology a few days ago. They have been running tests these days and keeping an eye on it 24 hours a day. Many people haven't been home for a month."
"This is their daily work pattern, we go out lightly."
[Core technology...]
Bai Qingqing paused as she turned to leave and glanced at her elder brother beside her.
Could it be this core technology?
Bai Mincheng gave this to the beautiful lady?
Bai Qingqing looked at Bai Lincheng with interest, with a smile on her lips. Bai Shuting was used to hearing his daughter's words. She had been complaining as she passed through various departments, but he didn't take it to heart at this time.
Bai Lincheng heard a different meaning in her words.
There was nothing wrong with what Bai Qingqing said in her heart.
They had been stuck on this technical difficulty for more than half a year and thought it would be just another ordinary failure. Who knew they would suddenly succeed?
Now it depends on which of the world's leading R&D teams moves faster. Now is the time to race against time.
Since the Bai family has taken the lead, the woman that his sister mentioned in her heart should have appeared during this period of time.
"Come to my office and sit down?" Bai Shuting has been in the company for a long time and speaks more naturally in the areas he is good at. He speaks as if he is entertaining a partner.
"Okay, now that we're here." Bai Qingqing looked at the time. It was too early to leave now, so she might as well go visit the chairman's office in the novel.
Bai Lincheng went back to work. Bai Qingqing followed Bai Shuting to the top floor, where they were greeted by a huge floor-to-ceiling window, which was standard for a domineering CEO.
The boss dad's desk is right in front of the floor-to-ceiling window that covers the entire wall. The soft leather boss chair is facing the window. Obviously, when he is tired from work, he can turn around and enjoy the beautiful scenery of blue sky, white clouds and tall buildings outside the window.
The Bai Group Building is the tallest among the surrounding buildings, and the view is indeed good.
Bai Qingqing walked towards the window to watch.
Bai Shuting didn't let his assistant do it. He boiled water himself, took out the top-quality tea leaves that Ao Xinyi had picked for him, and prepared to make tea for his daughter.
He laid out all kinds of black and green teas in a row, waiting to ask his daughter which one she wanted. Seeing her still walking back and forth by the window, he called out, "Qingqing, you walked for such a long time this morning, do you want to sit down and rest for a while? My chair is quite comfortable, please sit down."
Bai Qingqing patted the back of Bai Shuting's chair, which felt really good. She turned the chair around and sat down.
Bai Shuting waited for the water to boil. He did not chat, but held his breath to listen to whether his daughter had any thoughts.
I just don’t know if she complained too much this morning, she’s so quiet now.
Bai Shuting sat at the tea table, looking at his daughter's half profile exposed behind the chair. The clear blue sky outside the window cast a layer of calm on her face.
He suddenly wanted to take a picture of his daughter.
Bai Shuting picked up his phone, wiped the lens, adjusted the angle to face Bai Qingqing in front of the French window, and locked onto the light and shadow.
His photography skills are pretty good.
Having taken photos of his wife frequently over the years, his skills have long been honed through Ao Xinyi's constant complaints, and now he is also adept at taking photos of his daughter.
But as he was taking in this scene, Bai Shuting suddenly thought -
yes!
When Qingqing returned home, why didn't he and Xinyi think of disclosing Qingqing's identity to the public from the perspective of the group? How could it be enough to just inform friends in the circle?
For a moment, Bai Shuting looked at the phone screen more seriously, ready to take this photo.
In the enlarged picture, the person in the camera suddenly moved, his long eyelashes trembled, and he looked up at the blue sky.
Soon she turned around, as if she knew Bai Shuting was taking a picture of her, and her eyes fell accurately into the camera, as if she was looking straight into his eyes through the glass.
Bai Shuting suddenly looked at his daughter, and before he could react, he kept pressing the camera button with his fingers, and quickly stood up with a little nervousness.
He handed the phone to his daughter who was not far away, and asked her in a gentle tone, squatting beside the chair: "Qingqing, only mom and dad's friends and some partners know that you are back. You are the daughter of the Bai family and the Ao family. Are you willing for mom and dad to disclose your name to the public on behalf of the group?"
【I see……】
No wonder the heavenly ways suddenly converged here.
Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes, looked at the bright sky outside the window, and curled up the corners of her mouth.
In the novel, Li Qingqing returned to the Bai family, and except for the family reunion dinner, she did not make any other public statements.
Bai Shuting's current behavior is not found in the novel.
This action involves an important plot in the novel, the mystery of the true and false daughter's identity. Now Bai Muning has no contact with the Jiang family. If her identity is revealed at this time, it will definitely affect the normal progress of the plot. No wonder the way of heaven would intervene.
This kind of thing doesn't matter to Bai Qingqing.
She is not Li Qingqing, nor is she a character in the novel. Her identity as the biological daughter of the Bai family is of no importance to her. Even if she leaves the Bai family, she is still Bai Qingqing who lives a good life.
She only had two things to do here.
Gather faith, kill the Heavenly Dao, and take the throne yourself.
Although she doesn't care, Li Qingqing should care. Her biological father values her and makes her identity public, so she must be willing and happy.
It just so happened that she also wanted to see how Tiandao would deal with the situation if the characters in the novel developed ideas that were inconsistent with the development of the plot.
Bai Shuting thought for a moment and continued, "The Bai family's status in East City is indeed somewhat special, so your photos will not be published on the Internet. We will still use text information to make them public."
This is also the reason why no reporters were allowed into the previous reunion dinner and no media photos were leaked.
Apart from Bai Qingqing, there were also children of various celebrities who were well protected and whose images had not been released.
"Okay, I agree. Will you send it now?" Bai Qingqing listened, clasped her two fingers on her belly and nodded, smiling in response.
Bai Shuting was very happy, and his smile became more natural. His sharp and three-dimensional eyebrows softened a lot. He smiled with slightly curved lips and stood up: "Well, send it now."
When he had the idea of making the announcement, he had already thought about how to write it. He opened Weibo and acted quickly, walking towards the tea table and turning off the boiling kettle.
There was a knock on the door just in time.
Bai Shuting was typing and looking towards the door. Before he could invite anyone in, the office door was pushed open.
The secretary who came in looked anxious. Seeing Bai Qingqing slumped in the boss's chair, he was slightly stunned. After looking for a while, he saw Bai Shuting standing by the tea table. He walked over quickly and whispered something to him.
Bai Shuting frowned and stood up, lowering his hands holding the phone and looking at his daughter beside him.
Bai Qingqing raised her eyebrows.
"Qingqing, I'm sorry, something urgent happened and I need to go take care of it."
Nothing could be seen on Bai Shuting's face. His dark complexion showed that he was in a bad mood. The secretary next to him, on the other hand, had an anxious look on his face and nodded in silent agreement.
"Okay, go ahead. I'm almost done, so I'm leaving too." Bai Qingqing stood up and waved at him, feeling that Tiandao's sudden interruption was a bit disappointing.
Bai Shuting nodded apologetically to his daughter and hurried out. His secretary bowed slightly behind him and waited for Bai Qingqing to come out of the director's office before closing the door.
As the secretary closed the door, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
His Weibo was particularly concerned with the beeping sound, indicating that his boss had posted on Weibo.
The secretary was a little confused.
In just half a minute, the chairman posted a Weibo?
As he walked Bai Qingqing downstairs, he opened his Weibo account. Although the two of them had not entered the elevator, the page remained blank and no content was displayed no matter how he turned it.
The Bai Group’s intranet is so good that there’s signal even in the sewers, not to mention in the elevators.
After two minutes of swiping, the secretary finally confirmed——
Weibo is paralyzed.
…
11:10.
Bai Qingqing appeared on the helicopter with Shen Tang, overlooking the center of East City from a height of 200 meters.
The voice of the staff introducing came from the headset.
Bai Qingqing listened while looking from above to see if there was any familiar place in her memory.
This novel world is similar to the world she lives in in real life. This can be seen from the clothing. The names of many luxury brands are similar or exactly the same.
That day she told Zan Fang that she would go back to search after climbing Mount Everest.
There is also information about Mount Everest on the Internet in the novel world.
In order to prevent the heavens from automatically filling in the gaps that the author of the novel had not described, she found a free moment and flew directly into the sky to take a look at the main city at the beginning of the novel:
East Market.
She also has an Dong City in her own world, which is also the capital of Dong Province. She had been there three or four times by coincidence before going to college.
But every time I went there, she happened to be sick, either with a fever or gastritis, and she vomited everything she ate. In the end, she could only attribute it to the huge gap between Dongshi and her city life, which caused her to not adapt to the local climate.
Bai Qingqing felt that it was the man called Dongshi who had a conflict with her.
Now that I have traveled through the book, I have been brought to the East Market in the novel.
Most of the stories in the first half of the novel take place here. It is impossible that the author has no description of the environment at all. He would mention the weather and buildings here to some extent, and at least there would be a bridge.
For example, the time it takes to describe a bridge span determines, to a certain extent, the length of the bridge.
Bai Qingqing saw the red bridge across the river below the helicopter and asked Peifei, "How long will it take to drive across that bridge?"
"That's the Lamp Bridge, which spans across two districts of East City. It takes 20 minutes to drive there normally, but if there's traffic jam, it could take half an hour or even an hour."
There was no Bai Group in the East Market where she went, and she had never heard of the Ao Family or the Huo Family. But she had walked across this red bridge before, and although she didn't remember its name, it was very similar to the bridge in front of her.
Shen Tang floated in the helicopter as a soul, looking at this modern city in shock, and exclaimed from time to time.
She has been staying in the Shen family's house all these years and has never left. After being beaten to death by the Taoist priest hired by the Ma family, she became a remnant. She became more confused every day and even her memories of the past were blurred.
Now I am sitting in a helicopter and in a short while I have flown over half of the city, and I am shocked again and again.
The helicopter was flying at a low altitude, and drones could be seen in the sky below. Shen Tang asked Bai Qingqing in surprise: "What is that flying? Is it a machine like a bird? What is it used for?"
Bai Qingqing was a little distracted, but was called back to her senses by Shen Tang. She replied, "Drones are used for performances, filming, or delivering small packages."
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Shen Yan's excitement cooled down: "Qingqing, am I pestering you with too many questions?"
"No, sorry, I was just thinking."
"What are you thinking about? Am I delaying your work? Why don't we go downstairs?"
"No, I have to think about it here." Bai Qingqing shook her head, her eyelids drooping as she scanned the entire city: "I'm actually looking at the energy of this city."
The novel has more than one million words, and the first 800,000 words are all here, so it is inevitable that a fight will break out here.
Shouldn't she take a look at her own battlefield first?
*
Bai Qingqing scouted the East Market and took Shen Yan out to play for a while, then contacted Zan Fang and handed her over to him for salvation.
This time we met on the hill during the day.
The setting sun enveloped the entire green hill.
Bai Qingqing lay on the grass with her arms outstretched. She looked at the thin shadow above her head and waved her hand to the side: "Go get some sun, Taoist Zan."
Zan Fang moved to the side and bowed to the person lying on the ground, but the person on the ground squinted his eyes, and it was unclear whether he saw it or not, which made his bow seem unnecessary.
Bai Qingqing sat up from the ground with her legs crossed and sighed at Zan Fang: "Master, it's the 21st century now. Is it that difficult to say hello?"
"Zan is used to this."
Bai Qingqing: “…”
Bai Qingqing patted Chen Tang, and seeing the reluctance in her eyes, she smiled and waved: "Okay, Chen Tang, you go downstairs and take good care of yourself. We'll meet again if we're lucky. If there's a chance, we'll go out and play together again."
"Okay." Chen Yan didn't salute, but imitated her and waved to Bai Qingqing: "I'm leaving now, Qingqing, see you again if we're lucky."
"goodbye."
Zan Fang gave the bronze mirror to Bai Qingqing, and this time he came back to take Chen Tang away. He also took a piece of white jade wrapped with a red rope, preparing to let Chen Tang attach to it and take him away.
Bai Qingqing straightened up and looked at the white jade in Zan Fang's hand. She always smiled kindly at Chen Yan, and rarely looked at Zan Fang: "Master Zan, is there anything you are curious about recently?"
Zan Fang was performing a magic trick to inject Shen Tang into the jade.
Bai Qingqing sat cross-legged on the grass, hugging her feet and mumbling, "For example, are you curious about how Shen Yan avenged those eight people? How did Ma Hongfei die in the end? Ask me and I will tell you."
Shen Yan's soul disappeared between the two of them.
Zan Fang looked at Bai Qingqing's eyes, carefully put the white jade into the magic bag on his waist, and tightened the rope around the mouth: "Not curious."
He wanted to bow and say goodbye.
Bai Qingqing stood up, rarely staying with someone: "Then aren't you curious whether I asked Shen Tang to do anything excessive?"
"Not curious." Zan Fang paused and continued to salute.
If Bai Qingqing and Shen Lang did something unkind to Ma Hongfei or other strangers, the cause and effect would definitely be tied to Shen Lang, and he could not fail to see it.
From this point of view, Bai Qingqing is quite disciplined in doing things.
Bai Qingqing was disappointed. She sighed and sat back down on the grass.
She thought she could get something from Zan Fang so that she wouldn't have to spend her own spiritual energy to raise it.
If Taoist Zan doesn’t take the bait, then forget it.
She squinted her eyes, trying to bask in the sun while the setting sun was at its peak, but just as she closed her eyes, she felt another shadow covering her eyes.
Zan Fang went and came back: "But Zan has another thing he is curious about."
"Yeah." Bai Qingqing moved her face under the setting sun and stretched out her hand towards Zan Fang.
A string of warm copper coins was placed in her palm.
The profound vital energy flows through the copper coins.
"Zan is curious, why is Miss Bai so special to Miss Shen?"
"..." Bai Qingqing opened her eyes and closed her palms: "I feel that she and I are of the same kind. Saving her seems to be saving myself."
