Chapter 1196: Chapter 1170: What a Cunning Merchant!

Bai Xiaosheng finished his breakfast, and with a clang of his chopsticks, made a call to Yu Ying from the restaurant.

"Hello, Xiaosheng, calling me so early in the morning? Miss me that much?"

A lazy and coy female voice answered the phone.

"Are you still sleeping?" Bai Xiaosheng was surprised.

Although it was early in the morning, it was already past seven. Even if someone loved to sleep in, as a woman, shouldn’t Yu Ying be getting up, spending an hour or so to groom and put on makeup before going out or heading to work?

"Didn’t you check what day it is? It’s Saturday, big brother, and I’m not on duty, so no work for me," the voice on the other end complained but coquettishly added, "However, since it’s you who’s disturbing my sleep, I won’t be mad. After all, you gave me quite the honor, didn’t you?"

"It’s not about honor, not about friendship; it’s business!" Bai Xiaosheng emphasized.

He couldn’t let this woman wheedle out of the deal.

During his last couple of days in Nandu Qinggang, Bai Xiaosheng realized that the Affairs Officers and the Senior Affairs Officers who rushed over were not associated with Chen Yucheng, Zheng Honghu, or Li Haofeng, but still, they came to offer their support.

They weren’t there just to fulfill their duties; they were chasing performance goals.

At that time, Yu Ying also called Bai Xiaosheng, asking him to help and to place a few individuals desperately in need of performance points.

Those individuals were Yu Ying’s "clients."

"As an Information Trafficker, you’re also involved in scrubbing performance points?" Bai Xiaosheng was genuinely shocked.

"Just a little side business, Xiaosheng, help me with this ’big order,’ and I owe you one. We can go for a meal, and I’ll dress sexy and appealing, wherever you want to go," she said.

Yu Ying also cooed in a way that would make any man’s imagination run wild.

Bai Xiaosheng, with Wei Xuelian in his heart, was as unmoved as an old monk in meditation, embodying the spirit of a faithful man, entirely undisturbed, and immediately saw through her offer, "So, I do you a favor and I also have to take you out to dinner?"

"Listen to you talk, we’re all friends here..." Yu Ying replied with sweetness oozing from her voice.

"I can keep these people here, and I can arrange for them to participate in work and thereafter assign them the performance points they need. However, I’m not helping you for nothing; in return, whenever I need intel, you have to get it for me at all costs! Otherwise, I won’t trouble you; I’ll simply explain to headquarters and have all performance points of those fellas wiped clean..." Bai Xiaosheng had made his terms clear at the time.

"That heartless, huh? Fine, deal!" Yu Ying agreed readily back then.

Thus, Bai Xiaosheng could be said to have shown some favoritism.

Now, Bai Xiaosheng was coming to Yu Ying to reclaim his "reward."

Upon grasping Bai Xiaosheng’s intent, Yu Ying sounded somewhat resentful over the phone.

"Do we really have to calculate everything between us so clearly, so meticulously? I thought we had a good rapport, only to realize it’s just another transaction. Ha, men are so heartless, tallying every little thing so precisely."

Unaffected, Bai Xiaosheng continued on his own track, "I’ve heard there are people from Shen Peisheng around in Nanyu. I want all the intel you have on them, everything!"

"Wow, you’re really opening your mouth like a lion here. Do you know how much that would cost to sell, and you want it all for free?!"

Yu Ying’s voice turned sharp on the phone, as if Bai Xiaosheng’s request was outrageously overboard.

"And..."

Yu Ying involuntarily lowered her voice and spoke seriously, "That’s intel on Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng, a high and lofty figure who could easily crush a little ant like me!"

"Xiaosheng, you’re asking me to risk not just my career but my life for you. You have to consider that for me, sister, it’s just impossible!"

"No matter what you say, even threats won’t work. Even if you take back the performance points I sent over, it still won’t be okay. This is too risky; while I do love money, I also know what’s dangerous, and I won’t cross the line!"

Yu Ying made it clear she wouldn’t be swayed.

"I’ll buy that information, not asking you to give it as a favor; name your price, even if it’s three or five times what you have in mind, I’ll accept it," Bai Xiaosheng didn’t want the conversation to drag on.

...

After a moment of pensiveness on the phone, Yu Ying’s voice suddenly warmed up, "My dear customer, shall I send it to the same email as before?"

Bai Xiaosheng, "..."

After chatting for a while longer.

After hanging up the phone, Bai Xiaosheng briefly informed Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying of the content of his conversation with Yu Ying.

In fact, the two were right beside him, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t intentionally avoid them, they naturally heard some of it, putting it together, they could also grasp some of the situation.

"That woman is really obsessed with money, really don’t know how such trash exists at the Greater China Region Headquarters of Zhenbei Group, she doesn’t even know to be grateful." Lin Weiwei huffed, "I think in the future, when we have the time, we must thoroughly investigate this, we can’t let the headquarters continue to harbour filth! Especially this Yu Ying!"

Weiwei was growing increasingly displeased with Yu Ying.

"However, this woman really does have the makings of an Information Trafficker." Lei Ying stroked his chin, smiling, and asked Bai Xiaosheng, "Did you get her to keep the secret for a few days?"

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and sighed, "That’s the part she claims is her ’gift’, saying it’s to thank me for helping her ’clients’ achieve their performance... Truly a shrewd businessperson to the extreme, I am impressed, truly impressed!"

Lei Ying also smiled.

At this point, Bai Xiaosheng lowered his voice, leaned in, and whispered to the two, "Yu Ying also said, the information she’s going to send over will involve many people, but in her eyes, those are all small fish and shrimp, the one truly worth paying attention to is actually only one person..."

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying listened intently, but found that Bai Xiaosheng’s voice suddenly stopped, the leaning posture also returned to normal, his gaze looking behind them.

Lei Ying, with his sharp hearing, turned his head first and saw a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes walking past the store entrance, carrying a briefcase.

That man just glanced at Bai Xiaosheng and the others, then sat at another window-side seat nearby.

A ringtone of a mobile phone rang out.

The man took out his mobile from the bag and answered the call.

He looked refined and spoke on the phone in public, his voice quite loud, without any intention of speaking softly.

"I know, I’ve already arrived here, it’s not even eight o’clock, I will go over at nine-thirty. Can’t be too early, nor too late. Going early looks unimpressive, too late isn’t good either, what if it gets crowded?"

The middle-aged man spoke to himself, completely ignoring the glances shot his way.

Bai Xiaosheng and his two companions, adhering to the principle that it’s better to mind one’s own business, glanced over and continued to sip tea and eat.

During this time, Lin Weiwei received an email, sent by Yu Ying, she was busy forwarding a copy each to Bai Xiaosheng and Lei Ying.

The man at the next table was still talking loudly, "I know, this opportunity is rare! Speaking of which, I have to thank you, after things are settled, I will take you out for a meal! A big feast, go for a big... wellness treatment, full service, truly satisfying!"

Big... wellness treatment?

This man, who looked cultured and dressed professionally, actually had quite a few tricks up his sleeve, especially saying so uncovered in public, was really something else.

Lin Weiwei peeked over with sheer disgust.

Lei Ying didn’t make a sound.

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t care too much, until he heard the man mention a name, then he suddenly startled, lifting his head to look at the man on the phone.

Who did he say was hiring an assistant?

Han Hefei?!

That’s the same name Yu Ying mentioned!

It can’t be a coincidence, after all, in the entirety of Nanyu, there probably is only one celebrity with the name Han Hefei.

Bai Xiaosheng put his chopsticks down and smiled at Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying, "Let’s find a place to settle down first, then rest for a while, we finally have something to get busy with!"

"What are we going to do?" Lin Weiwei asked curiously.

"Apply for a job!"
