Chapter 744: 295 lab’s golden thigh!_3

Their top boss, Wang Youfeng.

Not to mention Xiaowu, even Mao Kun dreaded him. Xu Chun quickly set aside what she was busy with and asked Hen Zhiwei to check on Xu Wenyao’s status.

Xu Wenyao looked at her and asked, “Do you desperately need money?”

“I have to make money for the boss,” Xu Chun picked up her cotton coat and glanced back at her, “but when it comes to money, who doesn’t like it?”

She left.

Xu Wenyao needed to remove his IV early, as he was considered Bai Lian’s brother. Hen Zhiwei had heard about him from Xiaowu and was also very polite towards Xu Wenyao.

He drove back to the Xu Family mansion after removing the IV.

He played with Xu Siqi in the living room for a while.

He had just finished his graduate examinations and needed to start preparing the application materials for the follow-up interviews in a couple of days.

Old Madam Xu spoke with him for a while, her fingers rolling a string of Buddha beads in her hand. She had lately been thriving and was more spirited than ever, “I had your aunt arrange a dinner with a few professors. Have you decided whose research team you want to join?”

“I have some thoughts,” Xu Wenyao said, leaning on a nearby table and slowly twirling a rattle-drum, his demeanor relaxed.

“If you had gone with the Qi Family at that time…” Old Madam Xu began, but didn’t finish, recalling something, “Your father is dining with an old classmate tonight, you’ve heard of his daughter, Xu Yajun.”

Now, the Xu Family was gaining more influence in Yunxiao District, making Old Madam Xu stand tall and confident in the presence of the Qi Family.

Qi Shuyun was no longer her only choice; her sights began to shift towards other eligible young women.

Xu Wenyao never argued with Old Madam Xu about such matters, and went upstairs to tidy up in the study.

“Wenyao,” Old Madam Xu watched his retreating figure as he ascended the stairs, “are you still entangled with that bar girl?”

Xu Wenyao didn’t respond to her.

Old Madam Xu gazed at his departing back, her expression profound.

“Old Madam,” the butler tucked Xu Siqi in with a blanket, “The young master always has his own thoughts; you needn’t worry too much about him.”

“Butler Xu,” the old lady lowered her gaze, her hands idly twisting the Buddha beads, she spoke slowly, “Arrange a meeting with that woman for me.”

29 Talls Street.

The Xu Family, dinner time.

Old Master Xu put down his chopsticks and accepted the cup of green tea handed to him by the servant, looking at Xu Jueming, “I heard there was some unrest in Jiangjing today?”

Xu Jueming glanced at Xu Jueling and Xu Nanjing at the dining table and replied without much emotion, “Jiangjing has been quite lively recently, even Old Chen has been stirred up. He’s stepped out the Chen Family’s doors four times in just a few days.”

They discussed the latest happenings in Jiangjing.

“What about the Mu Family? I heard that their old man has made an appearance,” Old Master Xu said slowly.

Xu Jueming didn’t pay much attention, “What can they accomplish anyway?”

After dinner, Xu Jinyi walked alongside Xu Jueming, inquiring whether they should court favor with the Mu Family, “I heard the Mu Family has ties to the Jiang Family.”

But such rumors, no one dares to spread casually.

“How could that be, you see even the Gao Family isn’t taking it to heart. What connection could the Mu Family have with them?” Xu Jueming thought it was a smokescreen, “Mu Qiong is gone, the Mu Family poses no threat now.”

With that time, he’d rather strengthen communications with the Ming Family and the Leng Family.

In the meantime.

Xu Jueling and the others returned to the courtyard, and he then asked Xu Nanjing, “What’s with your uncle being so secretive?”

Xu Nanjing was acquainted with Chen Beixuan and Jiang Xijue.

He was more in the loop than his father.

“Today, it seems someone arrived in Jiangjing,” Xu Nanjing knew only so much, “I heard from Sister Beixuan that the visitor is a high-ranking member of the Dawson Family.”

The Dawson Family, the behind-the-scenes owners of the Azure Dragon Bar and proprietors of the auction house.

Who exactly had come, the Chen Family hadn’t found out yet.

But without exception, even the Chen Family wanted a partnership with them.

“No wonder he’s being so secretive,” Xu Jueling contemplated, “Xu Jinyi and their group are chummy with the Azure Dragon Bar. Beijing is indeed lively recently. What about the Mu Family?”

Regarding this, Xu Nanjing said without a change in expression, “Take the opportunity to have tea with President Mu more often.”

While the two of them were discussing serious matters, Gao Yan wasn’t listening.

She was on the side, discussing with the Xu family’s butler about picking a day with good weather for Bai Lian and Gao Shu to visit the Xu family and appreciate the plum blossoms, and to arrange the desserts for the occasion.

Wednesday.

After morning classes ended.

Bai Lian didn’t go to the cafeteria to eat, but instead left Jiangjing University.

An hour later, at Qinglong Bar.

At this time, the bar hadn’t opened for business yet.

Quite a few people were loitering at the entrance; Bai Lian got out of the car, wearing a black cloak, and entered through the front door.

By her side, a young man who wanted to remind her that the bar wasn’t open at noon was startled to see a manager-looking person respectfully coming out to welcome Bai Lian.

He ended up looking up at the enormous sign of Qinglong Bar, extremely shocked.

That’s right.

Qinglong Bar.

Who is this girl?

Twenty minutes later, Bai Lian came out with a canvas bag in hand.

Yunxiao District has always been the economic center.

Today is Wednesday.

Bai Shaoqi and Song Min were in the same class, and they only had classes in the latter half of the afternoon. The two of them came to Yunxiao District’s chamber of commerce at noon, as this year Yunxiao District’s chamber of commerce was holding a wine reception. Both of them refused help from their families and used their own connections to get into this reception.

In the car, after having food with Bai Shaoqi, Song Min started the car and then saw Bai Lian across at the bus stop.

He paused for a moment.

Bai Shaoqi’s gaze also fell on Bai Lian. Bai Lian was looking down at something in her hand, holding an inconspicuous canvas bag that looked a bit like it belonged to a student.

Bai Shaoqi paused slightly, “What is she doing here?”

Having started a business with Song Min and achieving quite some success, she rarely paid attention to Bai Lian anymore, as their paths had diverged.

The two sat in the car while Bai Lian waited for the bus. Bai Shaoqi didn’t understand, “Isn’t it said that her stepfather is quite rich? Why doesn’t he buy her a car for commuting?”

Song Min was messaging the student council president, wishing to leverage a connection with a finance professor for a collaboration.

By the time he looked up again, Bai Lian had already boarded the bus.

When Bai Lian returned to the lab, Hu Yue was teaching Xu Zhiyue how to operate the experimental equipment.

Inside the lab, even Ding Wenyang didn’t speak today.

“Where’s Professor Zhou?” she asked as she untied her cloak’s fastening and pulled it off.

Hu Yue turned her head and replied, “In the dean’s office, discussing yesterday’s incident. Hey, junior sister,” she said, her eyes landing on Bai Lian’s hand.

The contents of the canvas bag seemed heavy, with the strap taut and the square outline of something dense inside making it look quite weighty.

But…

When held by Bai Lian, it appeared as if she was carrying it effortlessly.

She casually hooked it with two fingers, as though it was just a bag of feathers.

“What’s that?” Hu Yue asked out of curiosity.

Bai Lian casually placed the cloak on the table, pulled out a chair to sit down, and began checking her phone for a message from Sun Fei: [Miss Bai, do you have time to come to the police station recently? The documents have been sent over.]

As she replied to Sun Fei, she handed the canvas bag to Hu Yue, “Palladium.”
