Chapter 187: Chapter 142: Imitation or Famous Brand?

After all, officials hold a different kind of existence everywhere.

Seeing the situation, Lv Haobai felt an innate displeasure towards officials. However, as usual, he went over to host...

Of course, Sui Yi had already packed the ink. Seeing that Sui Yi was focusing on the famous inks, he didn’t speak out to disturb her but walked straight towards Director Bai.

At that moment, Director Bai was also very satisfied with the effect his words had created, although he didn’t understand the slightest bit about those inks...

Suddenly, Director Bai’s gaze halted, resting on the only person who had their back turned to him.

Just then, that person slightly turned, revealing a bit of their profile.

Director Bai instantly put on a smile, raised his hand, and called out, "Miss Sui..."

Well, at the first call, the person in white didn’t turn around.

What, mistaken identity?

Director Bai quickly stepped forward, calling out again, "Miss Sui Yi."

Sui Yi? Is he calling me?

Sui Yi turned around to see the chubby Bai Xiong, the deputy director of Nanxun’s Education Bureau...

She also saw Bai Lingshuang, her face full of astonishment, looking at her.

Hmm, are these two father and daughter?

Without dwelling on it, Sui Yi nodded slightly towards Bai Xiong, "Hello, Mr. Bai."

From the salutation, it was clear that Sui Yi didn’t pay much attention to the other party’s deputy director status.

Bai Xiong didn’t mind this, stepping forward quickly, laughing as he said, "Ah, Miss Sui, I didn’t expect to see you here... I was saying how the figure looked so familiar..."

The parents behind were puzzled. Why was Bai Xiong so enthusiastic about this girl? Could it be...

Mrs. Bai was the most nervous, and hearing Bai Xiong’s effusive words, she felt uncomfortable. You old ghost, on normal days, you can’t even see me when I’m three meters away from you, but you have eagle eyes for a young and pretty girl!

Although dissatisfied in her heart, the menopausal Mrs. Bai approached with a full smile, "Eh, Xiong, who’s this young lady~~~"

"Sui Yi, you’re here too..." Before Bai Xiong could answer, Bai Lingshuang approached with some of her classmates.

Having seen his terrifying basketball skills on the court, Bai Lingshuang felt it was best to not compete with him on physical strength, for they were not on the same level. It was smarter to take a more subtle approach.

So, she immediately introduced Sui Yi’s identity to her mother and the other parents.

A student from Second High School.

The many parents smiled and greeted her, but in their minds, they were even more suspicious of Sui Yi’s background.

It was the same for Bai Lingshuang. She wondered why her father was so enthusiastic toward Sui Yi.

Bai Xiong didn’t explain much and directly turned to Sui Yi, "Miss Sui, are you here to buy ink? Did you find one you like?"

"I bought a piece of ancient ink, just to broaden my knowledge," said Sui Yi, who had previously been in contact with Bai Xiong about the transfer matters, so she found it necessary to understand and communicate with him, hence, she wasn’t too cold, but neither was she enthusiastic.

That was her character.

To the other parents, this seemed very unlikable; they found the young lady too arrogant, curious about her unknown background.

Bai Xiong didn’t want to lose this connection. He knew that the network behind Sui Yi was extensive and important for his career, so...

"Lingshuang, since you both are in the third year of high school, you should learn from Sui Yi. She did very well in her exams!"

As the director of the Education Bureau, Bai Xiong was well aware of Sui Yi’s academic performance.

On hearing this, Bai Lingshuang felt somewhat dissatisfied and said indifferently, "Dad, I was eighth in the inter-school exam, while Sui Yi was tenth."

Ah... that was a slap in the face. Bai Xiong became very embarrassed and his expression darkened.

The faces of people from other families... Ah, this girl’s scores are that good?

Everyone knew that Bai Lingshuang’s performance was already exceptional, ranked second at Second High School and only slightly behind the first place, Su Ziyi, who was ranked second in the inter-school ranking.

They didn’t expect this young lady to also rank in the top ten.

Even if it was tenth.

Sui Yi swept a glance at a few people, her expression faint and unchanging. She merely said softly, "Lingshuang indeed performed better... Mr. Bai, you must be a good teacher."

Seeing that Sui Yi had given him a way out, Bai Xiong’s opinion of her improved further, believing her a worthwhile acquaintance. He nodded with a smile, "You flatter me... by the way, about the matter Miss Sui mentioned previously, I just got some news last night..."

As soon as Bai Xiong said this, Mrs. Bai knew why!

This young lady was the person with connections that Bai Xiong often mentioned. Instantly savvy, she quickly led her daughter and others to look at the inks...
