Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 634: Chapter 634: Reunion_1

This morning, Bai Xiaosheng spent over two peaceful hours reading in the library of the Zhongjing University History Museum.

Now, as he walked out, he leisurely stretched his back and yawned.

Having not touched such printed materials for a long time, it was quite pleasant to quietly sit down, not thinking about worldly troubles, smelling the ink, and reading passages of text.

Approaching noon and mealtime, Bai Xiaosheng headed towards a distinctive small restaurant.

He followed behind two girls walking in front of him.

He kept a leisurely pace, trailing behind them.

While in the library, he overheard the two girls talking about eating authentic Dan Dan noodles, describing the flavor in low voices, which made Bai Xiaosheng’s mouth water with hunger.

So, he decided to discreetly follow them, using them as his guides.

Along the way, many people were heading in that direction, a sign of the restaurant’s popularity.

The two girls walking in front realized Bai Xiaosheng was following, occasionally glancing back, whispering and giggling to each other, probably mistaking Bai Xiaosheng for a suitor.

Bai Xiaosheng, a sunny and handsome man with a good temperament, was obviously popular.

To avoid any misunderstanding, and seeing the sign for the restaurant, Bai Xiaosheng quickened his pace and passed the two girls.

Soon, Bai Xiaosheng heard the girls’ faint sighs of regret from behind.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but smile secretly.

Youth is wonderful!

When he got to the restaurant, Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback by the long line at the noodle service window.

All these people are waiting to buy noodles? There’s only one window open?

Bai Xiaosheng was astonished.

”Excuse me, fellow student, do I need a card or something to buy food here?” Bai Xiaosheng smartly asked before getting in line.

”Oh, you don’t need a card here, cash is fine,” the student he asked replied.

”Thanks,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled at him and took his place in line.

The line moved at a steady pace, Bai Xiaosheng was in no rush, and took out his phone to browse the news.

After reading a few articles, Bai Xiaosheng got a message from Ron on WeChat.

Bai Xiaosheng opened it and immediately smiled.

It was a series of photos, more precisely, renovation plans.

Ron’s place had already started construction, renovating the office.

Additionally, there were also rendered images of the expected result after completion.

”Not bad at all, this will be fancier than my office after it’s finished,” Bai Xiaosheng replied, ”Make sure to clear out that formaldehyde, don’t rush to work in the new office area!”

Luo Pangzi sent an ’OK’ hand gesture along with an emoji—Thanks for the concern, boss!

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help chuckling, bantering back and forth with the fatty.

At this very moment, on another path, Feng Li was also heading to this little restaurant.

Unlike Bai Xiaosheng who came for the novelty, she genuinely enjoyed the noodles here.

What Feng Li didn’t notice was a man wearing a trench coat with a Bluetooth earpiece behind her, following at a distance.

In fact, not just at this moment.

From the moment Feng Li left the Linshen headquarters, she had been watched.

Although her role as an ”instructor” for the training class was nominal, her true position as an Affairs Officer wasn’t widely announced in the dispatch, nor was it particularly hidden.

So early on, it had already been noticed by interested parties.

Of course, some wanted to ”make contact” ahead of time.

The person following her said quietly as he walked, ”Mr. Bai, have you received the location I sent you? Ms. Feng Li is going to eat, this area is a university campus surrounded by students, confirm no one else is following, no surveillance. Yes, you can come over, it’s safe to talk in this environment.”

He received an affirmative response in his earpiece.

The follower immediately replied quietly, ”Okay, hurry up.”

Feng Li, who was ahead, clearly had no idea about all this yet, as she walked down the street, her face beaming with smiles and memories.

All around, many male students cast their glances directly or shyly towards her, the great beauty.

The mature and sexy beauty Feng Li possessed was not something those young boys could resist.

Feng Li reached the small diner and headed straight for the noodle counter.

As luck would have it, just as she arrived, another window opened.

A line of people started to split into two, significantly reducing the wait.

Bai Xiaosheng, busy chatting away, missed the opportunity and remained at the end of the line.

However, there weren’t many people in front of him either.

”It looks like it’s still run by the same family, this habit hasn’t changed,” laughed Feng Li as she walked over.

After the owner’s wife finished in the kitchen, she would come out around noon to help and open an extra window.

That meant the taste wouldn’t change either!

After so many years, it truly was nostalgic! Feng Li sighed as she looked around.

It was still the old decor, the old tables and chairs, and the old stools, only the people queuing in front were no longer her old classmates...

Feng Li looked at the person in front of her and paused, startled.

This figure seemed very familiar.

Wasn’t this the guy who asked for directions this morning? He’s here too?

Did he take her advice and come to try the flavors of the small diner? Feng Li couldn’t help but laugh.

”Hey, we meet again!” Feng Li greeted him proactively.

Bai Xiaosheng, who was ahead, was caught off guard by someone calling out to him from behind. He turned around, at first startled, then smiled, ”It’s you.”

When they parted in the morning, he thought it would be a long time before they met again.

Yet here they were, running into each other now!

Seems like fate.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, ”Let me treat you to a meal.”

”No need,” Feng Li said with a smile, politely declining.

She was fiercely independent and didn’t even want to take advantage of a bowl of noodles.

”We agreed, next time we meet I would treat you to a meal as thanks for showing me the way,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

”Really, it’s unnecessary,” Feng Li insisted.

The two exchanged a few more words until it was Bai Xiaosheng’s turn. He had to give up on insisting and, with a smile towards Feng Li, went to order his own food.

One had to admit, the noodle vendor was quick. No sooner had he finished ordering than a tray with noodles and two side dishes were pushed out. Inside, the large pot continuously cooked more noodles.

Bai Xiaosheng picked up his food and politely nodded to Feng Li, ready to look for a place to sit.

But he hadn’t taken two steps before he heard Feng Li’s voice from behind, ”Ah, I didn’t bring any money.”

”WeChat Pay is also fine,” said the vendor.

Bai Xiaosheng then heard the embarrassed voice of Feng Li, ”I don’t have money in my WeChat either, can I swipe a card, a credit card...?”

As an Affairs Officer, Feng Li’s position and benefits were on par with regional industry leaders. Although she didn’t have a retinue like Chen Jiuzheng did, she frequented high-end places and mostly shopped at major malls, rarely carrying cash. She had plenty of credit cards, but they were of no use here...

Bai Xiaosheng turned back, placed his tray down, pulled out some change with a smile, and said, ”I have some, let me still treat you.”

In the end, Bai Xiaosheng and Feng Li sat at the same table, and she thanked him with a smile.

”I really appreciate your help today. By the way, what’s your name? Let’s exchange contact information, so I can return the money to you later,” Feng Li said while eating.

She really didn’t like to take even a penny from someone else.

”There’s really no need. It’s just a few dozen yuan,” Bai Xiaosheng smiled, but didn’t mind telling her his name, ”My name is...”

”Miss Feng Li!”

Bai Xiaosheng had not yet gotten his words out when a voice suddenly came from the side, interrupting him.

Bai Xiaosheng turned his head to look at the person speaking, thinking to himself—so her name is Feng Li.
