My exclusive card pool

Chapter 97 Bai Qimeng (Thanks to "Qing Wulei" for the generous donation!)

Mr. Bai's custom commission is not simple.

That 20 isn't so easy to get.

After settling things off with the first blind date, more than a dozen others followed...

Among them are daughters of conglomerates, daughters of government officials, active-duty soldiers, and at the very least, the younger sister of a four-star soldier.

But no matter what kind of girl she is, Wang Xi always has a way of dealing with her.

As stated in The Gospel of Aquaman: Most people have a two-faced monster inside them, called "double standards." But if a man doesn't even have a bottom line, then he's not even a monster, but a piece of trash.

Waste is not worthy of sympathy, much less of pursuit.

When faced with questions from potential blind dates such as "What do you think of me?", "What kind of girl do you like?", and "How much are you willing to sacrifice for love?", Wang Xi's approach is quite simple.

Simply throw the question back at the person asking it.

"Young Master Bai" naturally holds a high position, making this method very effective. Then, responding with a vague and poetic answer, downplaying any deliberate utilitarianism, easily gains the upper hand.

One of them, Ms. Zhao, persisted a little longer.

Until she asked the second classic question, "Does Young Master Bai believe in love that grows over time or love at first sight?", Wang Xi's answer was devoid of emotion:
I believe in fate.

He transcended the Five Elements and the Three Realms, making him unselectable and unpredictable. His substitution of objective factors for subjective ones left Miss Zhao speechless.

There was also a Ms. Dong.

She doesn't smoke or drive a wild horse, but her questions were quite sharp—after all, Ms. Dong's mother is a senior executive at Gear Group, which diminishes the natural advantage brought by the "Young Master Bai" identity.

Miss Dong asked, "What kind of woman could make Mr. Bai take the initiative to pursue her?" The rabbit mask emitted a girlish mechanical voice: "A pair of eyes that hold the ocean within."

While she was still in a daze, the rabbit's eyes flashed red, and a mechanical voice began to chant:
"Her eyes must hold an unnamed, unknown sea—that, as twilight falls, can pull me from the water, and along with it, retrieve the stars that have sunk in my eyes."

Whether the constellation has sunk or not is unknown, but Ms. Dong has remained silent.

She took a deep breath and asked the last question:
"Does Mr. Bai have many female friends?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xi secretly praised him.

This is a very insightful question.

Ms. Dong's level is slightly higher.

The problem may seem ordinary, but it actually hides a deadly danger.

The subtext actually includes three aspects of probing: first, to find out if the other person is unfaithful; second, whether the other person is popular; and third, whether the other person is of high value.

Most people wouldn't be able to answer that well.

But who exactly is Wang Xi?
Ten consecutive draws upon boarding the ship guarantee a lucky draw.

His answer consisted of only six words:
"There are plenty, but we don't keep in touch much."

Ms. Dong's eyes lit up, and she tried to press for more information, but Wang Xi simply said, "You've answered your three questions. Now it's my turn."

The rabbit mask emitted a cold, mechanical female voice:

How many relationships have you been in? Whose fault was it in each breakup? Can you accept not having a marital relationship after marriage?

"..."

Ms. Dong bit her lip, pondered for a few seconds, and then answered:
"Both times, both parties had problems. I... I can't accept a marriage without a marital life."

"Feel sorry."

The rabbit-shaped mecha mask emitted a girl's mechanical voice:
"You're not being sincere."

"I……"

Ms. Dong opened her mouth, but then suddenly laughed and frankly admitted, "You're right."

Then, she stood up and left with a carefree air.

...

...

It's 9:30 at night.

The private room returned to tranquility.

Wang Xi removed the rabbit mask and let out a long sigh.

The mask flashed white light and transformed into a card, which he carefully put away.

Looking at the expensive dishes in front of him, which were piled high and almost untouched, Wang Xi clicked his tongue in amazement.

This meal costs at least 20,000 credits. Some of the ingredients are rare and came from the maze, prepared by several top-tier chefs.

Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is hard-earned.

It would be a waste not to eat it.

Wang Xi picked up his chopsticks and immediately started showing off.

Of course, there's also the main reason: the company reimburses the meal... It's reasonable for field staff to have a 20,000 yuan work meal when they're working overtime.

Don't tell me.

The dishes costing 20,000 are definitely different from those costing 200. The monster steak is so delicious that it feels like it's breakdancing between your lips and teeth. The foie gras mousse with two-tone truffles melts in your mouth. It's so delicious that it's almost like altering his genes...

overall evaluation:

It has a more refined flavor than the upscale restaurants of my previous life.

Just as Wang Xi was indulging in a hearty meal, his phone on the table vibrated twice, emitting a beeping notification.

He picked it up and saw a friend request.

His name is "The Last Knight of the New Era".

"Ok?"

Wang Xi clicked on the profile picture with a puzzled look. He found that the profile picture was half a selfie of his face, which was covered by his hand. Only the gap between his middle and ring fingers was visible, revealing a phoenix eye, accompanied by the explosive character "henshin".

My personal tag is "Sasha—let me enumerate your sins / currently negotiating with the Demon King".

Wang Xi unconsciously gripped the sole of his shoe with his toes.

Which chuunibyou guy is having another episode?

When he saw the note "I am Young Master Bai, please add me as a friend," he was taken aback at first, then shook his head and clicked to accept.

I just added you as a friend.

A message popped up on the other end:
"Wang Xi, I saw your performance just now. It was very good. You are qualified to meet me."

"..."

Wang Xi spat out a fishbone, wondering what this young master Bai was up to. Could it really be like what Ms. Xia Ling said, that he wanted her to accompany him to the wilderness for some kind of role-playing game?

Before he could reply, a location was sent directly from the other end. Wang Xi glanced at it and exclaimed, "Wow!"

"Sparkling Grand Hotel, Deluxe Suite 2102"

Is this asking him to provide door-to-door service?

No!

Young Master Bai, what do you take me for?

I am a senior butler, not a senior technician!
Wang Xi picked his teeth and typed with one hand:

"I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, it's very late..." Just then, a beep sounded.

Another red envelope arrived with the amount "100,000" and the note "transportation fee".

Wang Xi raised his eyebrows.

Why would a taxi cost 10?

You big-shot conglomerate bastard, you really don't care about money!
They don't even respect me!

Wang Xi, indignant, continued scribble on the words:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Bai, it's already very late. I won't keep you waiting any longer."

He immediately accepted the red envelope with practiced ease.

Ding ding.

Hearing the pleasant clinking of the gold coins as they arrived in the account, Wang Xi grinned and called out:
"Check, please! Invoice, please!"

After a while.

He added:
"Three more steaks, to go!"

...

...

Wang Xi hailed a ride-hailing car.

Although "Qingliuting" and "Shanshan Hotel" are both located in the central area and only a few kilometers apart, taking a taxi at night is expensive, costing him a full 80 credits.

He forced himself to get out of the car, his heart aching, and headed straight for the elevator in the hotel lobby.

I walked up to the 21st floor and stopped in front of the deluxe suite 2102, then raised my hand to knock on the door.

Tuk Tuk.

Less than a few seconds later, the door opened.

The moment I opened the door, a wave of damp steam, carrying the citrus scent of shower gel, wafted out. A girl in pink pajamas with a cartoon cow pattern stood in the doorway.

Wang Xi was stunned.

"Miss Lin?" he asked in surprise.

The girl in front of him was Lin Xin'er, who ranked second in the same batch of participants in the vocational skills assessment.

At that moment, the girl appeared to have just finished showering, her wet black hair cascading over her shoulders. A look of surprise crossed her face, and a flicker of panic crossed her dark, yellow-eyed eyes.

"Wang Xi?" Lin Xin'er opened her mouth.

Wang Xi raised an eyebrow and took a half step back, his gaze sweeping over the girl.

What's this girl doing here...?

Yes, she's also a member of the Shining Consortium, and a spokesperson who's signed a contract to sell herself into servitude.

Wait a moment.

Could she have been sexually assaulted?
Seeing the suspicious expression on Wang Xi's face, Lin Xin'er seemed to guess what he was thinking. She clenched her fists and said in a deep voice:
"Don't misunderstand! I'm just Young Master Bai's bodyguard!"

“I knew it.” Wang Xi nodded seriously. “That’s exactly what I thought.”

"Come in, he's waiting for you inside."

Lin Xin'er gave him a cold glance and turned to walk inside.

Wang Xi shrugged, smelled the fragrant breeze, and followed closely behind.

The luxury suite was large, with long corridors and wooden floors and baseboards that shimmered with lights like a dazzling galaxy.

Upon entering the living room area, one is greeted by a clean white and champagne gold color scheme, creating a spacious and luxurious atmosphere.

Through the large glass curtain wall at the innermost part, you can see the starry sky and the night view of Gucheng outside. It feels as if if you take just one more step outside, you will fall into the neon abyss.

Wang Xi suddenly stopped in his tracks.

To his surprise, he saw a tall figure in a white silk robe lounging on the beige sofa in front of the French windows, with long legs exposed and slippers hanging from the arches of her feet.

She was a woman with fair skin, delicate features, and a heroic air about her. She had a mullet hairstyle with blue-purple highlights.

The woman was projecting a holographic video onto her wristwatch, laughing heartily as she watched, and even clapping her hands in amazement.

The holographic video showed Wang Xifang's first-person perspective during his blind date.

drop--

Seeing Lin Xin'er and Wang Xi approach, the woman pressed her wristwatch and turned off the holographic projection.

She crossed her legs and smiled as she raised her eyes.

"Hey Wang Xi, you've arrived."

"I'm here," Wang Xi nodded.

"You shouldn't have come."

"..."

Wang Xi's eyelids were half-closed, and the corners of his mouth were twitching.

"Young Master Bai, you're the one who sent me."

"What?! I thought you were an interesting man, but you're so boring!"

The woman rolled her eyes and pouted.

"Let me introduce myself." She nodded again, her tone casual: "I am the 'Special Advisor' of the Shining Foundation's Strategic Lab, the 'Youth Committee Member' of the Board of Directors, the 'Image Ambassador' of the Public Relations Department, and the 'Honorary Director' of Shining Man-Made All-Purpose Brand..."

After muttering the prefixes and titles for a while, Wang Xi felt a little sleepy. He glanced at the words above the woman's head and was secretly amazed.

"White Dream (Light Green/Four Stars)"

The entry still has a silver border and is for "Hero Unit".

Her strength is far greater than it appears.

“...My name is Bai Qimeng.”

After the woman finished her introduction, Wang Xi politely changed his address and said, "Hello, Miss Bai."

He maintained a professional, fake smile.

"I've completed your custom order. Is there anything else you need me for?"

"Hey, don't be so boring."

Bai Qimeng said with dissatisfaction.

"You're off work, you understand? This isn't work time. I called you over just to make friends!"

"make friends?"

Wang Xi was stunned.

Immediately, he stepped forward and offered his hand.

“It is my honor, Miss Bai.”

"Hey!" Bai Qimeng grabbed his hand and said with a burning gaze, "Wang Xi, my friend, I have a really good idea. Would you be interested in embarking on a legendary adventure with me?"
