Chapter 421: Chapter 421: Before Departure_1

"Really?" Lin Weiwei exclaimed in surprise, still somewhat in disbelief.

"Yes, really," Bai Xiaosheng replied with a gentle smile.

Ever since Lin Weiwei became his assistant, the two of them had shared joys and sorrows, weathering storms together.

Lin Weiwei was tireless in her work and gave him meticulous care in life.

When Bai Xiaosheng faced criticism from Song Changkong and Chen Changqing, she was the first to stand up, vocally defend him in front of the company’s senior executives, and confront the top management, regardless of her own future!

For her, Bai Xiaosheng always had a protective feeling.

Just now, hearing her recount her childhood experiences, Bai Xiaosheng felt even more compassion.

"I’ll help you with this," Bai Xiaosheng confirmed with a nod and a smile, gently adding, "Now, take a break, and go get some good rest. You’ve been so busy these last few days, you’ve even developed bags under your eyes."

"Ah, really?"

Bai Xiaosheng’s half-joking tease immediately caused Lin Weiwei’s face to lose its color, and she couldn’t help but touch her own cheek; she actually felt like her skin had gotten worse.

In her fluster, she seemed especially adorable.

Bai Xiaosheng struggled to keep from laughing.

"Can I really go?" Lin Weiwei asked, still not reassured.

"Of course, I said so earlier," Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile.

"But if you want tea..." Lin Weiwei asked.

"I’ll have Song Yiming arrange for someone to bring it," Bai Xiaosheng replied patiently.

"And if you get hungry..." Lin Weiwei asked again.

"I’ll have Song Yiming arrange for someone to prepare something," Bai Xiaosheng replied with patience.

"And if you..." Lin Weiwei continued to ask.

"Weiwei," Bai Xiaosheng interrupted her, saying seriously, "I think, why don’t you go and explain to Song Yiming?"

That was a good suggestion, and Lin Weiwei nodded earnestly, "Okay, I’ll go right now!"

Lin Weiwei hurried off.

Bai Xiaosheng shook his head with a smile, sat down, and continued to look over the reports.

Not long after, there was a knock at the door of his office. Bai Xiaosheng looked up to see Song Yiming entering.

"What is it?" Bai Xiaosheng asked curiously upon seeing Song Yiming’s somewhat odd expression.

"Mr. Bai, is Assistant Lin not coming in for the next few days?" Song Yiming didn’t answer, instead asking a question.

"Yes," Bai Xiaosheng nodded.

Lin Weiwei must have spoken to Song Yiming, perhaps to delegate some work, and that was why Song Yiming had specially come to mention it.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s confused face, Song Yiming lifted his hand with a wry smile.

He was holding a piece of A4 paper, covered with neat writing.

"These are the instructions Assistant Lin left for me. I glanced over it briefly—there must be about forty items, including what tea you prefer with different moods, what snacks you like to eat..." Song Yiming seemed both amused and helpless.

...

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but laugh wryly.

...

In the afternoon, Bai Xiaosheng made a special trip to the Zhongjing Wanhe Building. He got a haircut and bought a suit of suitable clothes. After all, he had to present a strong front for Lin Weiwei this time; he couldn’t be careless, even though Bai Xiaosheng still preferred wearing his casual outfits.

Within the Wanhe Building in Zhongjing were beauty salons and branded clothing stores.

As soon as Bai Xiaosheng arrived, he was immediately recognized.

After all, he was now the man in charge of Zhongjing Media.

Brand merchants within the Zhongjing Wanhe Building almost all organized their employees to learn to recognize his face as soon as possible.

So, whether getting a haircut or buying clothes, as soon as Bai Xiaosheng entered a store, within moments, the manager would personally attend to him, arranging the best stylist or fashion designer in the shop to serve him.

Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t have to pay for any of this; the company settled the accounts with the merchants. This was also one of the general manager’s perks.

This benefit felt quite good to Bai Xiaosheng!

...

The next day, Bai Xiaosheng, having changed his hairstyle and put on new clothes, stepped into the company and immediately stirred up quite a commotion.

With a decent base to work from, Bai Xiaosheng looked strikingly handsome after being styled by a top hairdresser.

His business-style, trendy attire brought out an impressive aura.

Just by walking by, he made group after group of young girls stare with wide-eyed awe!

"Mr. Bai is so handsome; I never noticed it before. Ah, he looked so handsome just now!"

"Yes, especially the way he walks, so majestic! Oh no, I’m mesmerized!"

"Such a young general manager, handsome and wealthy, and usually so gentle! Ah, I can’t take it, from today on, I’m a fan!"

...

A group of women excitedly chattered away, the buzz of their discussions never-ending.

In the morning, when Bai Xiaosheng felt worn out from work and went for a walk in the corridor, he was surprised to find that today, there were particularly many people on this floor, and they were all young and beautiful women. When they greeted him, their gazes were either shy or fiery, their flirtatious looks abounded...

"Are there a lot of things happening in the company today?" Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but ask, a bit curious, turning to Song Yiming at his side.

"Personally, I think it’s because there’s not much going on in the company today. They’re probably just idle," Song Yiming answered somewhat beside the point, smiling, "Mr. Bai, you should go down to the departments more often in the future. Maybe it would greatly boost work enthusiasm."

What a bunch of nonsense...

Bai Xiaosheng cast a perplexed glance at Song Yiming, completely unable to understand his irrelevant reply, and turned back to his own office.

Halfway there, Bai Xiaosheng slapped his forehead and turned back to Song Yiming saying, "Yiming, I have another task for you."

"Yes, sir!" Song Yiming replied.

"Go to the Zhongjing Wanhe Building and buy a gift for me; I want to give it to someone," Bai Xiaosheng said.

As Lin Weiwei’s "boyfriend," attending her uncle’s birthday party, it was only proper to bring a gift!

"Weiwei has always been looked down upon by her uncle and cousin, so I want to help her regain her dignity this time," Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.

...

Meanwhile.

Lin Weiwei was in a mid-to-high-end men’s clothing store, picking out a jacket for her uncle.

The price tag read five thousand, which made Lin Weiwei hesitate.

She had never bought such an expensive piece of clothing for her own father!

"Miss, you have good taste. This is our latest model, very prestigious as a gift!" Seeing Lin Weiwei interested, the sales assistant didn’t miss the opportunity to make a pitch.

"Is that so." After much internal debate, Lin Weiwei finally made up her mind, "Wrap it up for me!"

"Sure." The assistant immediately took the clothes with enthusiasm and began packaging them.

"Xiaosheng is going with me this time. I can’t have the gift I prepared be too shabby, lest others laugh at me. It doesn’t matter if they mock me, but not him!" Lin Weiwei thought to herself.

After paying the money and picking up the packaged clothes, Lin Weiwei walked down the street for a while and took out her phone to call Xiaosheng to arrange a meeting time and place.

Just as she took out her phone, Lin Weiwei heard someone call out.

"Yo, isn’t this Lin Weiwei?"

Shocked, Lin Weiwei lifted her head and saw a glamorous face looking at her casually and contemptuously, then glanced at the nearby clothing store.

"You’re buying clothes here!"
