"Please sit!"
Gao Panpan made a gesture inviting him to sit, then began to observe the other person.
The visitor looked around fifty years old with a square face, very sparse hair combed back over his head, and a very amiable smile. He wore a suit and a luxury watch neatly, a typical successful person.
The man stretched out his hand from afar enthusiastically, "Director Du, hahaha, it's been so many years, you really have grown more beautiful.
A few months ago I heard you returned from abroad and I've been wanting to pay a visit, but never found the ti.
Today, I happen to have so free ti, congratulations, taking over Lanyue Group so quickly, truly talented and promising!"
Gao Panpan stood up, extended her hand, and shook hands with him, "Sorry, which mber of the Bai Family are you?"
Previously, Du Linlang had ntioned that Bai Family mbers hadn't t her, so Gao Panpan wasn't afraid of revealing herself by asking like this.
The man patted his forehead, smiled apologetically, "I get forgetful when I'm too happy. Let introduce myself, my na is Bai Yongge. When you were a child, I even attended your full moon celebration."
"So, it's Mr. Bai." Gao Panpan nodded.
Bai Yongge pretended to be displeased, "Calling 'Mr.' sounds too distant. If you don't mind, you can call Uncle. I'm not sure if your father ever ntioned that my sister Bai Lisha was in the sa class as he was.
Going further back, my father and your grandfather were partners fighting in the trenches together. We can say that the relationship between our families has been friendly for generations!"
In the restroom, Du Linlang heard this said and roughly understood.
The na Bai Lisha has been ntioned before. Years ago, Bai Lisha married Miao Youmin, who was not yet famous, at the age of ten years older, which was considered a great story in Jiangcheng, but in the end it proved that the great story was actually a joke.
Just looking at how the Bai Family was eager to distance themselves after Miao Youmin got into trouble was telling.
"Uncle Bai coming over personally this ti must an there's sothing important?" Gao Panpan asked directly.
Bai Yongge was taken aback; he thought "Du Linlang" would wait for him to state his purpose first to control the ensuing dialogue, but he didn't expect that the other party would question his intention right away.
However, this way is fine, saves the trouble of beating around the bush.
Little did he know, if it had been the real Du Linlang conversing with him, she might have chatted casually to lead him on. But the person in front of him was not Du Linlang, his howork efforts had naturally gone in vain.
After a couple of coughs and clearing his throat, Bai Yongge said, "Smart people don't beat around the bush, you've probably heard about my sister's situation. I'm here this ti because of that."
"Specifically?"
"Director Du is a smart person and should predict how this incident has impacted the Bai Family greatly, although the turmoil is almost over, there are so accounts that need to be settled."
"What are you referring to?"
"We've determined that besides Song Keren orchestrating the situation, there's another person nad Xiao Feng involved. I assu Director Du wouldn't be unfamiliar with this person."
Gao Panpan nodded, "morable."
Bai Yongge's eyes lit up; this response seed to have a hint of double aning.
Little did he know, Gao Panpan was simply speaking the truth. Her impression of Xiao Feng was indeed deep, otherwise, it would be careless.
As for whatever deeper aning Bai Yongge perceived, that was a different matter.
"Now, whoever is backing Song Keren, I suppose I don't need to explain much. Even if our two families team up, it can't be shaken. But as for Xiao Feng..."
Here, Bai Yongge paused, waiting for Gao Panpan to express her stance.
In response, Gao Panpan blinked, signaling, "Continue, what about Xiao Feng?"
"..." Bai Yongge was instantly perplexed, thinking that indeed she was not ordinary; at a young age, she was strikingly flawless.
If Gao Panpan knew this kind of thought, she'd probably laugh out loud thinking this counts as flawless?
What low standards you have.
After a mont of silence, Bai Yongge continued, "Don't be fooled by those in the Chang Family bowing before Xiao Feng but my Bai Family, having been in Jiangcheng for so many years, perhaps not in terms of money, but in terms of connections, it's assud we rank second with no one daring to claim first.
So, what the Chang Family can't handle, my Bai Family doesn't necessarily fall short.
To my knowledge, you and the forr president, Du Qingyue, don't seem particularly amicable?"
Gao Panpan had heard Du Linlang ntion Du Qingyue once, thought for a mont and replied, "No matter how unfriendly, she's still family, but from what you just said, you've already been to the Chang Family's side?"
"Yes, I've been there, but the Chang Family father and son were intimidated by Xiao Feng and don't plan to cooperate. Coming to find Director Du this ti is also to see what you're thinking." Bai Yongge laughed, "How about it, shall we collaborate for mutual gain?"
"What kind of mutual gain?" Gao Panpan pondered, "I an, what benefit does this bring to ?"
"Naturally there are benefits!" Bai Yongge's smile grew radiant, "For example, you could take this opportunity to suppress Du Qingyue further, leaving her no chance to turn things around."
Gao Panpan secretly laughed, with Xiao Feng around, leaving Du Qingyue with no chance to turn things around?
This sounds more like a blind hope, such words could only be spoken with a mind clouded.
Outwardly she yet asked, "At present, I've already taken the president's seat, doesn't this already solve the issue?"
Bai Yongge seed to anticipate being questioned this way, revealing a aningful smile, "Perhaps Director Du isn't aware? Xiao Feng and Du Qingyue are planning to open a bridal shop, the location's already chosen.
The opening ti is roughly within a month or two, if the business goes well then, wouldn't it let your family witness Du Qingyue's capability, and would your position still be stable then?"
After speaking, without waiting for Gao Panpan to reply, he promptly added, "Certainly, I don't an to question Director Du's abilities, but since it's a potential threat, nipping it in the bud is undoubtedly the optimal choice, wouldn't you agree?"
With the conversation progressing to this pivotal point, Gao Panpan realized this was Bai Family's intent to orchestrate a plot against Xiao Feng, yet stuck with the fact that she was not Du Linlang, how to respond?
For safety's sake, Gao Panpan maintained her composure and said, "You can represent the Bai Family, but I can't represent the Du Family. Moreover, I've just returned to the country and the resources I can mobilize are limited. I fear I wouldn't be of much help."
"Director Du sure is modest, if you weren't capable, could Du Qingyue have lost her position?" Bai Yongge chuckled, "Allow to clarify, as long as Director Du agrees to cooperate, the Bai Family will fully commit to assisting at many critical junctures moving forward.
It's crucial to emphasize that my earlier promises reflect both my personal stance and the Bai Family's attitude."
Gao Panpan almost felt like scratching her head, these benefits were not hers to reap, naturally she wasn't overly concerned. The key was what Du Linlang's attitude would be?
And at this mont, Du Linlang, who was in the restroom, wished she could rush out and agree imdiately.
Such a good opportunity, not agreeing would be foolish!
