"Miss Bai, when will you come to Beicheng? I’d like to arrange your reception in advance, as there are several companies wanting to collaborate with us..." He listed off a bunch.
Bai Lian didn’t know much about business like Xiaoqi did; her trip to Beicheng was simply to make an appearance following Xiaoqi’s instructions.
And to teach a couple of acupuncture techniques to some doctors there.
She patiently waited for Lin Guangxu to finish talking.
"I have to go back to school for a lecture in these next two days," Bai Lian looked up, not sure how the Culture and Tourism Bureau had arranged it, "I’ll return this weekend."
On the other side of the phone, Lin Guangxu calculated the time; today was Tuesday, and the weekend was just a few days away.
He ended the call, heading out to an emergency meeting while instructing his assistant.
"Miss Bai will be coming this week, the exact day is still unclear. Pass the word; I want everyone on their best form to welcome her."
The executives at Xuan Kang all knew, Xiaoqi was officially their boss.
But in reality, the person behind Xuan Kang was Miss Bai.
Yet, Miss Bai was enigmatically elusive, with few ever having the opportunity to meet her.
Lin Guangxu hadn’t met her either.
"Yes," the female assistant, in high heels, holding a notebook, and a black pen, efficiently took note, "Furthermore, the Bai Family, the Song Family, and the Kong Family are all trying to schedule appointments with you. Among these three, the Song Family has the strongest assets, and they also have dealings with Jiangjing, while the Bai and Kong families are locals here in Beicheng."
The two of them stopped at the elevator, and the female assistant pressed the button.
The elevator doors opened and Lin Guangxu stepped in, "You arrange the times."

Xiangcheng, a village.
Yang Lin had helped her grandparents hoe a large medicinal field, Yang Grandma’s back slightly bent, calling Yang Lin and Grandpa to come in for a meal.
Along the way, villagers greeted Yang Lin warmly.
Last year, when they heard Yang Lin got into university, the villagers had even given her a red envelope, as she was among the few girls from the village who had managed to go to university.
They only knew Yang Lin had been accepted into a university, but they didn’t know which one.
"Hello, Second Grandpa." Yang Lin was still quite reserved, speaking only when she saw someone.
Her hair no longer covered her eyes, which were dark and profound.
The person known as Second Grandpa perked up upon seeing Yang Lin, greeted her, and then hurried off.
