Guan Juer waved her hand.
“How can that be?” Bai Ye said, “If you don’t eat a proper lunch, you won’t have the energy to work.”
"Isn't this a meal you're treating me to, Brother Bai?" Guan Juer said. "I'll just go along with whatever you say. Brother Bai, you don't need to worry so much. The dishes here are all very good, and I think I'll enjoy the ones you ordered."
"Okay, then I'll order a few dishes first, and you can order a few more."
Bai Ye glanced at the menu, snapped his fingers, called over a waiter, and said:
"Give me a braised pomfret, crispy beef, duck and salted egg roll... and a Thai salad and two servings of water chestnut pastry."
"Guan Guan, why don't you order a few of your favorite dishes too?"
Bai Ye then handed the menu to Guan Juer.
Guan Juer: "No need, Brother Bai. I love all the food you ordered, and it's already a lot. Ordering more would be a waste."
And so, Guan Juer and Bai Ye finished their meal while chatting.
During this time, Guan Juer actually had many questions she wanted to ask Bai Ye, but she couldn't bring herself to say them.
After Bai Ye paid the bill and said goodbye, she returned to the company and sat down at her seat.
"Actually, judging from Brother Bai's behavior, he must like Sister Andy, right?"
Bai Ye went home alone.
Driving, humming a little tune.
To be honest, Bai Ye thought that Wei Wei was actually quite interesting.
Born into humble circumstances, yet never giving up on her aspirations for the future; starting from scratch, she rose to immense wealth through her abilities; she can read people's minds at a glance...
Born into a poor family with the typical traits of a student from a small town, he ventured into business and, with his keen intuition, quickly amassed wealth.
In life and at work, I'm used to being alone. Everyone is a tool I can use. Whether they're cold-blooded or ruthless, in the business world, I can manipulate things and control everything. I feel that I don't need friendship or love at all. I can live very well on my own.
A lone wolf.
In many ways, Wei Wei shares similarities with Bai Ye.
such a pity……
Who gave you the right to choose me, Bai Ye, as your opponent?
Then don't blame me for badmouthing you.
Andy herself was not a good match for Wei Wei. Wei Wei was too steady and gloomy, and his life lacked passion. Andy, who had never been in a relationship, longed for change in her unchanging life. Wei Wei could not provide the emotions that Andy needed. Bai Ye felt that this was the only thing he could do.
When it comes to making women happy, in every way, who in this world is better than him?
Back at his company, as Andy listened to his subordinate Liu Siming's market analysis report, he was also multitasking with his thoughts.
She mentally compared the White Nights and the Singularity.
How should I put it...
Bai Ye seems to be a very contradictory person. When faced with a crisis, he becomes exceptionally reliable. It feels like even if there are tank positions in front of him, Bai Ye would dare to forge a path. On ordinary days, however, Bai Ye reveals his childish side, with all sorts of games at home, just like a child who hasn't grown up.
Her conversations with Qidian mostly revolved around science fiction and business discussions.
It seems that Qidian suits her better than Baiye.
However, when she was with Bai Ye, she felt incredibly relaxed. Many times, she would be amused by Bai Ye's words and actions. It could be said that Bai Ye possessed a genuine, down-to-earth quality that she lacked.
Singularity... feels more like a business partner, an equal exchange.
"Hmm... I feel like it's more fun when I'm with Bai Ye."
Andy thought to himself.
Of course, Andy's comparison is just an interesting conjecture.
However, Andy subconsciously realized that what she needed was not what she already had, but what she lacked.

Andy gets back to work.
It wasn't until evening, when I got off work and went home, that I felt this way.
She arrived at the underground parking lot, sat in the car, fastened her seatbelt, and was about to drive off.
the phone is ringing.
"Hey, Lao Tan?"
Andy answered the phone.
"Come to my place first," Tan Zongming said. "I've made some progress on the information you asked me to gather..."
"What!?"
Andy Tong shrank back.
She returned to China from Wall Street for two reasons: first, her longtime friend Tan Zongming asked her to help acquire another company; and second, she wanted to find her younger brother.
She and her younger brother used to live together in an orphanage, but she was later adopted, causing the siblings to lose contact.
From the moment he was adopted, Andy excelled academically, eventually studying at Columbia University and working on Wall Street after graduation.
Once she had established herself and felt capable of taking care of her younger brother, she discovered that the orphanage that had taken them in had closed down, and the siblings had completely lost contact.
"I'm coming right away."
Andy didn't say much, and drove towards Tan Zongming's villa.
night.
Bai Ye was lying on his big sofa at home, watching a TV series, when there was a knock on his door.
"Who is it?"
Bai Ye asked a question and then went to open the door.
"Andy, it's you?"
Can I talk to you for a bit?
Andy, pale-faced and with a slightly dazed look in his eyes, spoke.
"Of course, come in quickly."
Bai Ye quickly ushered Andy into the house. At this moment, Andy seemed lost and disoriented, her body trembling slightly.
"What's wrong with you? Did someone bully you? Was it Wei Wei, or Tan Zongming?"
"neither!"
Andy gently shook his head and said:
“It’s my own business. I don’t remember if I’ve told you about my brother before… Now Lao Tan has found out that my brother is still in Daishan, but… he might be mentally disabled.”
Originally, Andy imagined that since she was an extremely intelligent genius, her brother's IQ should be similar to hers, or at least at the level of an average person. So, after so many years apart, Andy believed that her brother could live a good life like her.
Now she realizes that her brother is mentally disabled and completely incapable of taking care of himself... This is terrifying! This means that after she leaves her brother, what will happen to him... Just thinking about it is a nightmare.
No one would ever adopt them; everyone would despise them, and they couldn't even take care of themselves...
The more she thought about it, the more horrified she became. What kind of suffering had her brother endured all these years? Was he already dead...?
"If only I had come back sooner!" Andy was filled with remorse and regret. "I shouldn't have been so presumptuous as to think that he could manage on his own. If anything had happened to him, I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life!"
Bai Ye listened for a while and then said:
"Andy, you can send me a copy of your information and your brother's information, whether they are useful or not."
"what happened?"
Andy looked up and asked.
Bai Ye said, "I have some friends in government who might be able to help you. Don't be fooled by the fact that Lao Tan is the owner of a company worth billions. The social resources he can mobilize... Heh, it's not that I look down on him, but in China, even the richest people are just so-so."
Andy looked at Bai Ye, hesitated for a while, but still sent Bai Ye a copy of her and her brother's information as Bai Ye had asked.
Bai Ye then sent the information and his requirements to Zheng Xian.
In terms of mobilizing social resources, Tan Zongming isn't even worthy of carrying Zheng Xian's shoes.
About twenty minutes have passed.
Bai Ye received a text message on her phone:
"Andy, your brother has been found."
"really?"
Andy looked at Bai Ye in surprise.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Bai Ye, but rather, how exactly did Bai Ye manage to handle something that even Tan Zongming, the CEO of a company worth billions, hadn't been able to resolve?
“Why would I lie to you about something like this?” Bai Ye shrugged and said, “I’ve already told you, this place is different from America. Here, money doesn’t mean everything.”
"Then where is my younger brother?"
"Daishan Nursing Home!"
Bai Ye put away his phone, found one of his own coats, draped it over Andy's shoulders, then took Andy's hand and said:
"Alright, I'll go with you! Otherwise, I doubt you'll be able to sleep tonight either."
"This……"
Before Andy could say anything, Bai Ye pulled him away to the underground parking lot, inside Bai Ye's Mercedes.
As the car started, Andy said softly:
"Now I understand why Lao Tan searched all the orphanages and mental hospitals in Daishan but couldn't find my brother. It turns out he was sent to a nursing home."
Who would have thought that Andy's brother, a young man in his early twenties, would be sent to a nursing home?
"In that case, your brother shouldn't have suffered much over the years, since he has basic security. So you don't need to worry too much."
Bai Ye said.
