Inheritance of Two Trillion

25: Chapter 25 Neighbor_1

25 -25 Neighbor_1

Bai Xiaosheng moved.

The new place was a high-end apartment with a monthly rent of four thousand.

But it was worth it; Bai Xiaosheng was very satisfied with his new home.

On the first day of moving in, there were so many things to buy and so much to do that it was clearly tough for one person to handle.

Bai Xiaosheng picked up his phone, thinking of finding someone to help, only to remember it was a regular workday; he was on leave thanks to a special dispensation from Chen Daya.

All of a sudden, he was at a loss.

The friends he knew who weren’t working probably only included Wang, Song, and Yezi.

Those he could ask weren’t available, and those who were available, he was too embarrassed to ask.

Clinging to one last hope, Bai Xiaosheng called Zhengdong Province; once connected, he could almost feel the drunken haze through the phone.

Zheng Pangzi had drunk too much and was unlikely to get up at all that day.

In the end, Bai Xiaosheng had no choice but to make several trips to the market by himself.

By the afternoon, Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes were blurry, his footsteps unsteady, as he shuffled towards his new home with a quilt in his arms.

Counting down the elevator’s descending numbers, Bai Xiaosheng buried his face in the quilt, swearing to himself in the dark.

Once home, he would collapse and sleep straight through to the morning, without waking up once!

When the elevator doors opened, someone stepped aside to let Bai Xiaosheng by, and he thanked them, clutching the quilt as they brushed past each other.

He didn’t get a clear look at the person’s face, just caught a whiff of a faint, pleasant scent—a very comfortable smell.

Bai Xiaosheng lifted his head and saw a graceful figure.

A high bun, a white and slender neck, a slim waist, and straight thighs.

Bai Xiaosheng’s gaze followed her until it was blocked by the closing elevator doors.

“Too bad I couldn’t see her face,” Bai Xiaosheng sighed with disappointment; then, recalling the figure, he muttered in puzzlement, “Why does that silhouette look so familiar?”

The beautiful woman who exited the elevator hadn’t noticed Bai Xiaosheng either.

And Bai Xiaosheng truly knew this woman.

Wei Xuelian.

After getting out of the elevator and taking a dozen steps, Wei Xuelian’s phone rang.

“Wenqian.” Wei Xuelian answered the call.

“A-Lian, how could you move out!” Lu Wenqian accused angrily, “Is my place not good enough for you?

How am I supposed to explain to Uncle Wei that I kicked you out to rent a place?

Where does this leave my dignity…”

As Lu Wenqian ranted over the phone, Wei Xuelian had to hold the phone away from her ear.

When Lu Wenqian’s anger eased a bit, Wei Xuelian responded with a chuckle, “I’ll talk to my dad about it, don’t worry.

He wouldn’t dare blame you; you’re the Lu family’s most treasured daughter after all.

Living outside is more convenient for finding a job and working.

Plus, now you’ll have another place to come and hang out, my place is really nice.”

“I give up on you.

Is all this hassle fun for you?” Lu Wenqian sighed resignedly.

“You’ll see, once you step out on your own, the world seems different,” Wei Xuelian laughed.

“Oh, and Mo Ran is coming to Tiannan for a concert.

I’ll get you the best tickets—extra ones, okay?”

“Hmph, that’s more like it,” Lu Wenqian grumbled.

After hanging up, Wei Xuelian stood at the entrance of the apartment building, glancing back at her new place she’d moved into just yesterday.

Here, she would start a brand-new life!

The next day.

Bai Xiaosheng arrived early at the project site; people from other departments who saw him whispered among themselves, all aware of the formidable planner who had joined the marketing department, earning praise from both bosses.

Bai Xiaosheng had become quite the celebrity!

Wu Qiuyan, who rarely ever did so, arrived early that day.

Once everyone had arrived, she immediately greeted everyone and organized an internal department meeting to discuss the opening event.

Actually, there wasn’t much to discuss about the opening event.

The content had already been determined by the senior executives, Shang Wenshu and Wang Ye, which included some opening performances, leader speeches, and ribbon-cutting—following the usual routine, nothing remarkable.

The key was to invite more media to make a big fuss.

What was unusual was Wu Qiuyan’s attitude towards Bai Xiaosheng.

It could be described as gentle as a soft breeze and light rain.

Not only did she proactively ask for Bai Xiaosheng’s opinion, but she also spoke highly of some of his suggestions.

That was not in Wu Qiuyan’s character!

Wang, Song, and Yezi felt uneasy and couldn’t help but quietly warn Bai Xiaosheng while Wu Qiuyan was fetching water.

In response, Bai Xiaosheng just smiled.

If others treated him kindly, he naturally wouldn’t turn hostile.

If someone wanted to deal with him, he wouldn’t be courteous either!

In the pantry, Wu Qiuyan and Li Mingtong encountered each other by chance.

Taking advantage of the moment when no one was around, they chatted in whispers.

“Mrs.

Wang had someone inquire.

This Bai Xiaosheng went to the company to look for Shang Wenshu a few days ago, and Shang Wenshu personally went downstairs to meet him,” Li Mingtong frowned.

Shang Wenshu, with so many eyes in the company, personally went downstairs to meet a young man?

What background does this person have?!

The receptionist at the front desk at the time was Chen Ke, a sister of Chen Daya.

Asking her was equivalent to not asking at all.

The security guards couldn’t offer any valuable information either.

“He personally went downstairs to meet him?!” Wu Qiuyan’s face was full of disbelief.

“Mrs.

Wang’s intention is that we need to keep a close eye on this person,” Li Mingtong recalled Mrs.

Wang’s expression seemed to hold some guess, serious and strange, confusing him.

“Don’t make a move on him before we figure out his identity.

Also, you need to establish a good relationship with him.

It’ll be best if you can find out what’s behind him,” Li Mingtong cautioned.

Wu Qiuyan nodded her head.

Afterward, she gazed at Li Mingtong, her look softening, and she reached out to touch Li Mingtong’s cheek.

“You’ve lost weight recently, take more care of yourself.”

“This is the office, be mindful!” Li Mingtong brushed away Wu Qiuyan’s hand.

Wu Qiuyan’s expression instantly dimmed.

“In any case, at all costs, you have to handle this well.

As long as you help me secure the project manager position, I won’t let you down!” Li Mingtong extended his hand and patted Wu Qiuyan’s shoulder gently.

With someone passing by the pantry, Li Mingtong swiftly retracted his hand, gave Wu Qiuyan a deep look, and left through the door.

Wu Qiuyan stood still, only after a long while did she reach out to touch the place where Li Mingtong had touched.

“After all these years, what am I to you?” Wu Qiuyan murmured with profound melancholy, “You want me, at all costs…”

There was a mirror in the pantry for fixing makeup.

Wu Qiuyan looked at herself seriously in the mirror.

On her mature and charming cheek, there was a hint of solitude and an unsightly smile, filled with bitterness and self-mockery.

The petals have their desires while the stream has no affection.

Wu Qiuyan touched her own cheek in the mirror, time spares no one.

Wu Qiuyan returned to the department, her expression as usual.

“I’ve communicated with Mr.

Li, and our promotional department is now setting up a special task force for the opening event.

Bai Xiaosheng will be in charge, supported by Yezi and Song, with Wang too,” Wu Qiuyan looked at Bai Xiaosheng, her smile revealing the charm of a mature woman, “Bai Xiaosheng, remember to report to me at all times, whether I’m in the company or…

at home!”

“At all times,” Wu Qiuyan emphasized the phrase heavily.

Bai Xiaosheng, as a man, didn’t think much of it, but Yezi caught a fleeting look in her eyes.

Wu Qiuyan was still single.

Did that mean, if necessary, Bai Xiaosheng also had to visit late at night?

A lone man and a single woman, how could this be appropriate!
