This is the entirety of Xiaofan's process for retrieving the data, full of tension yet no real danger. However, Bai Xue didn't ask a single question, she directly searched for what she wanted on the computer.
Her beautiful face filled with serious affection suddenly changed, her eyes slightly widened, and she jumped up joyfully.
"Yay, it worked! Captain, you are truly amazing."
Bai Xue ran excitedly to Xiaofan, not caring about Leng Yue's gaze beside her, and directly threw herself into Xiaofan's arms. She took hold of the mont to give him several passionate kisses on the cheek.
"Alright, alright, don't ss around. It's late, I'll go back to rest now. If there's anything, we'll talk tomorrow."
"Okay, you go ahead. I still have so things to deal with…" Bai Xue did not say much more, probably she needed to sort these materials tonight, and then during the conversation with Dasheng, no, with the senator behind Dasheng, she would have full control of the situation.
Leng Yue watched as Xiaofan walked out, confusedly looking at Bai Xue. Why has she not expressed a single word of worry? Or does she really not care about him at all?
Is it trust, or does it not matter at all?
"Bai Xue, I'll head back to my room then."
"Leng Yue, wait a mont."
"Huh?"
The Bai Xue now was entirely different from the Bai Xue who had just been playful with Xiaofan, unknown which one was her true self.
"Do you have sothing you want to say to ?"
"Huh? No, it's late, go get so sleep."
"If you have sothing to say, say it, don't keep it bottled up." Bai Xue said slowly.
"I feel you don't have the sa feelings towards the captain as before." Indeed, Leng Yue voiced her doubts.
"Huh? You noticed? You probably can't hide from the captain's eyes either." Bai Xue smiled indifferently, as if it wasn't anything peculiar.
"Bai Xue, are you using the captain?" Leng Yue furrowed her brows deeply.
"Using? We agreed clearly, it's cooperation, mutual use. He helps get what I need and I help him find what he wants." Bai Xue said frankly.
"But what about your feelings for each other?"
"Feelings? Leng Yue, changes in people aren't just , you've changed too."
"Huh? ?"
"Yes, the old Leng Yue would not talk of feelings; you knew very well what you should or shouldn't do, but now, you have feelings? Why would you specifically have feelings for him? Have you forgotten Ruyu? She was the best lesson." Bai Xue's emotions started to beco agitated.
"I…"
"Alright, let talk to you about feelings. Think about the captain and , his past status in Yanhuang Soul was quite prominent, rumored to be the next successor of the principal. And my current status doesn't need more explanation, right? Even if this cooperation ends successfully for both sides, what will beco of us? He has to return for Shen Zuimo, for the woman in his family. Do I have to follow him? If I follow him back, my family will definitely be implicated once discovered, never able to recover. Putting that aside, will he stay for ? He said before in XG that he wouldn't, and even if I asked him the sa today, the answer would still be no. So, why should I talk about feelings with him? Once cooperation is done, everyone goes their own way, he does his things, I do mine, and if any feelings truly arise, it's only cruelty for , not happiness…"
After Bai Xue's words, Leng Yue suddenly understood. It isn't that Bai Xue has grown cold towards the captain; she is deliberately acting this way, hoping she wouldn't have to be too sad once the captain leaves in the near future.
"Don't you think you are being cruel to yourself?" Leng Yue asked softly.
"That's why I'm working desperately. Since I can't have it, why force it?" Bai Xue replied with calm determination: "Leng Yue, I advise you not to desire too much from him. Given his status, even if you wish to follow him to Huaxia, then what? There are many won around him; who truly is his favorite? Plus, because of his position, do you think people in Yanhuang Soul would allow a Japanese assassin to stay by the future principal successor's side?"
"I, I never thought of following him… It's just, while he is here, leaving so mories between us."
"Leng Yue, you…"
"I'm going back to rest, you carry on."
Having said that, Leng Yue lightly pulled the door open and walked out. It was true, Leng Yue had never indulged in expecting anything from Xiaofan. After all, her life's path was already set, as a servant in Bai Xue's family for all her life. But allow herself to be selfish for once, just this once, the only ti in her life. Even if in the end, it's a mistake, it's alright. Being willful, like an ordinary woman who abandons everything to… love soone.
Leng Yue's emotional reversal left Bai Xue disappointed, for Leng Yue is one of the most trusted people, in this struggle Bai Xue didn't want to lose a partner.
"Hello, Father, I've retrieved the data. Tomorrow I want to et Mr. Ooshima personally. Hmm, alright, that's settled…"
After hanging up the phone, Bai Xue continued organizing the data on the computer, but the chaotic thoughts filling her mind prevented focus. However, the decision has already been made, what use is there thinking so much now?
And as for Xiaofan, does he really understand Bai Xue's inner thoughts? Or perhaps she kept certain secrets hidden? Wondering about these things is pointless, one step at a ti, can't let Zuimo wait too long.
On the following day, Xiaofan once again set off with Bai Xue to et that Ooshima senator.
No doubt, Bai Xue's capabilities truly are remarkable; her training at XG manifests entirely at this mont.
Upon eting Ooshima, Bai Xue imdiately candidly proposed investing in Dasheng Conglorate. Offering three trillion four hundred billion yen for sixty percent of the equity.
The price of nearly two hundred billion RMB may seem high, but for a conglorate, the amount is far from sufficient to acquire sixty percent equity. Moreover, Ooshima had never intended to let go of the conglorate's control.
This not-so-clear comrcial or power struggle, Xiaofan was uninterested to witness further, the outco was already settled, Bai Xue had leverage over Ooshima and proposed three trillion four hundred billion, which seed just a peaceful gesture to maintain control over Ooshima's usage thereafter. If Ooshima wasn't foolish, he'd ultimately compromise with Bai Xue.
