Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Legendary Figure 3

Jiang Xiaoxiao originally wanted to invite Wan Chu’er to her house, but Wan Chu’er immediately refused. She wasn’t ready to face Mrs. Jiang and Father Jiang yet.

In her past life, she had caused much trouble for the elderly couple, and even though they didn’t know about it in this life, she had her psychological barriers. She would prefer to delay meeting them as long as she could.

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaoxiao’s invitation to Wan Chu’er, Mai Qiqi remembered something her grandfather once told her, and so she invited Wan Chu’er too.

Wan Chu’er waved her hand, "Let’s talk about it later. Isn’t seeing each other every day at school enough?"

Mai Qiqi pinched her, saying, "You have so many excuses." She didn’t insist any further—feeling a bit down, preoccupied with her thoughts, and eager to get home anyway.

The next day, bright and early, Xiao Bai arrived.

Wan Chu’er had just finished exercising and taken a bath, about to prepare breakfast.

Xiao Bai was in a white suit with a black shirt underneath, no tie, and black leather shoes. It was obvious he put a lot of effort into dressing up. Quite the grand event, huh.

Wan Chu’er clicked her tongue twice.

Xiao Bai said, "I’ll prepare breakfast; you quickly go pick out today’s outfit. Make sure to dress up nicely. Once you’re ready, I’ll check it for you."

He looked utterly serious, as if they were going to meet a national leader or something.

The corners of Wan Chu’er’s mouth twitched. Was all this really necessary?

"It’s not like I’m going on a blind date. Why dress up so nicely?"

Xiao Bai couldn’t help but scold her: "Are you even a woman? Dressing up beautifully is a sign of respect for others. If you dress sloppily, would you be embarrassed to stand beside me?

If it were for a blind date, you wouldn’t need to dress up this nicely. If any guy dares to judge you based on looks alone, then don’t bother giving him a second glance.

Also, the person we’re meeting today is very important, someone ordinary people can’t just meet. I went through a lot of trouble to secure this opportunity. If you mess this up for me, I..."

He spun around, adding, "I’ll change the goal of my whole life."

Wan Chu’er: "... What would you change it to?"

Xiao Bai huffed, "To stop you from getting together with Jiang Kechu."

Wan Chu’er: "..."

She gave up; she simply couldn’t keep up with her Second Brother’s thought process and had no choice but to surrender.

If Xiao Bai really got into a conflict with her and Jiang Kechu, she couldn’t even begin to imagine that scenario. She was planning to spend her life hand in hand with Jiang Kechu.

Obediently, Wan Chu’er went to her bedroom to choose an outfit while Xiao Bai busied himself making breakfast in the kitchen.

Faced with a pile of clothes in her wardrobe, Wan Chu’er stood in the bedroom, pondered a bit, and picked out a light blue suit, a white leather bag, and white leather shoes.

This outfit was neat with a touch of breeziness, perfect for a business setting but not too stiff.

Xiao Bai also made breakfast quickly, an apple for each and a bowl of hot milk.

They were both hopeless cooks.

Xiao Bai checked Wan Chu’er’s chosen outfit and nodded, "Not bad, put it on after breakfast."

Seeing the breakfast he prepared, Wan Chu’er clicked her tongue, her mind wandering to Jiang Kechu. His cooking greatly suited her tastes, and she wondered when she would be able to enjoy a meal made by Jiang Kechu again.

After the meal, Wan Chu’er changed into her chosen outfit, but Xiao Bai kept giving ideas non-stop.

"Try tying up your hair."

"Nevermind, leave it down."

"You’re not planning to go with a bare face, are you?"

Rolling her eyes, Wan Chu’er applied some lipstick—yeah, she felt that just lipstick would be enough.

"No, no..." Xiao Bai protested loudly.

Out of patience, Wan Chu’er leaned back on the couch, "I’m not going!"

Xiao Bai looked at her as if she were foolish, "Do you know how impressive the person we’re meeting today is? I heard they entered university at sixteen, graduated with a Ph.D. from a top overseas university at the age of twenty-two. After returning to the country, they started their own business and turned a company into an industry behemoth in just five years."

"Such an incredible person, and we finally have a chance to meet them, yet you’re giving up! You’re such a fool. I’m not saying we should go out of our way to worship them, but it would be nice to see what this person is like, whether they have extraordinary abilities or not. If we can learn even a little from them, it could be useful for a lifetime."

Chuchu stood there, mouth agape, as she had never heard Xiao Bai praise someone so highly before. Even though Xiao Bai was a bit dull and long-winded, he actually had some abilities and a bit of pride deep down.

Alright, Xiao Bai’s earnestness had piqued her curiosity, so she decided to go and see what this impressive person was really like.

It took them quite a while to get ready before they finally left the house.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of a skyscraper.

Chuchu looked up at the towering building and let out a gasp of amazement.

The two entered the building and went to the reception desk to check in.

"Hello, we have an appointment with Mr. Yan at 10:10, my name is Bai Qiyan."

Chuchu looked down at her watch; it was only 9:30!

The meticulously dressed receptionist nodded with a smile, made a phone call to confirm, and then cheerfully told them to go directly to the 66th floor.

Standing in the gleaming elevator, watching the numbers climb rapidly, Xiao Bai suddenly placed his hand on Chuchu’s shoulder.

Chuchu turned her head to look at him.

"I can’t do this, I’m a bit nervous. This elevator is too fast, I think I’m feeling dizzy."

Chuchu: "..."

Her eyes shifted, and she reached out, grabbed Xiao Bai’s hand, twisted it hard, and his arm was twisted behind his back by Chuchu.

Xiao Bai grimaced in pain.

"You crazy girl, let go! This isn’t the place for your antics. Don’t mess up my clothes and hair style."

Chuchu snorted with laughter, let go of him, and just as Xiao Bai hurriedly straightened his clothes, the elevator "dinged" to a stop.

"Second Brother, feeling less nervous now?"

Xiao Bai gave her a sidelong glance.

At that moment, the elevator doors opened to reveal a spacious hall, where a woman in a blue suit was on the phone with her back to them.

Hearing the sound of the elevator doors opening, she hung up the phone and turned around.

Chuchu and the woman were both startled for a moment, recognizing each other. This woman was Zheng Yun, whom she had met yesterday.

Zheng Yun quickly adjusted her expression and said formally, "Mr. Bai Qiyan, correct?"

Xiao Bai smiled, "I’m Bai Qiyan, and this is my companion Wan Chuer. We’ve arrived a bit early."

Zheng Yun nodded, "I am Mr. Yan’s assistant, Zheng Yun. Mr. Yan is currently in a meeting. You can wait in the guest room for now, and I’ll come get you once the meeting is over."

Xiao Bai: "Sure thing, thank you, Miss Zheng."

Wan Chu gave a slight nod, thinking to herself that Zheng Yun either didn’t remember people due to face blindness or was accustomed to looking down on others, not bothering to mingle with the ordinary folk.

However, considering Zheng Yun was the assistant to a big-shot, the likelihood of face blindness was low; it was the latter. She simply looked down on them from the bottom of her heart.

Zheng Yun then turned and led them to the left, and shortly after, they arrived at a spacious room with sofas and a few low tables, indeed a place meant for waiting.

"Please wait a moment."

Xiao Bai watched Zheng Yun leave with a smile, then pulled Chuchu to sit down.

After half an hour of waiting, the absent Zheng Yun finally reappeared, saying Mr. Yan had finished his meeting and was now ready to see them.

Chuchu followed behind her expressionlessly.

Mentally complaining, not even offering their guests a cup of water, how rude.

They quickly arrived in front of two imposing red wooden doors, and Zheng Yun lifted her hand to knock.

"Come in," came a pleasant male voice from inside.

Zheng Yun pushed the door open, letting them enter.

After entering and turning around a partition, they finally saw the enormous desk and the man behind it.

The gentleman from yesterday’s elevator who had nodded in greeting!
