In the kitchen, Lin Yuxia opened the refrigerator and looked for something. She felt very restless and as if she was poisoned.
In this private environment, Miss White Wolf's eyes, expressions, and small body movements when she speaks will be magnified and vibrate in her heart, thus producing an almost teasing effect, making her unconsciously want to clench her fists. This clenching is both a manifestation of endurance and a desire to hold on to something tightly.
She adjusted her mood by taking deep breaths, warned herself not to think about bad things, and waited until she calmed down before walking out with the fruit plate.
She put the fruit plate on the coffee table and asked with a smile, "So, Miss White Wolf just found out that I have a lot of space here, so why don't you stay here? It's free food and accommodation, and you can save money on the hotel. It's a good deal, right?"
Miss Bailang's heart was moved for a moment, but she quickly shook her head and refused: "I won't bother you anymore. The people from Bingshi need to discuss work together."
"Then come over sometime when you don't need to discuss work alone. It's a waste to leave all this space there. It's a headache for me, but there's nothing I can do."
Now Bai Lang felt embarrassed to refuse, so he nodded: "Okay, wait for the chance."
"Well, when the time comes, just contact me for the room code of where you want to stay. By the way, this place we are in is quite special and outsiders don't know about it. I need you to keep it a secret for me."
Miss White Wolf opened her eyes wide with curiosity: "A secret base?"
"A base." Miss Lin couldn't help laughing. "It's just where I live. For safety reasons, I usually don't disclose the address. Don't you find this place special? I arranged the furniture here myself. Apart from the cleaner who comes every week, there is no servant."
White Wolf couldn't help but look around: "From the look of the living room, cleaning once a week isn't enough, can you take care of it yourself?"
"Of course, when I'm bored at night, I come here to tidy up things. Do you know someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder? I wipe the coffee table once, twice, three times, then the teapot, then the bookshelf and the small potted plant underneath, just like someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder."
"It does sound boring to be able to let you be like this."
Lin Yuxia stared into Bai Lang's eyes and said, "It's very, very boring. Sometimes doing these things can calm my mood, but sometimes it doesn't. It makes me want to explode."
"Explode?"
Lin Yuxia looked at the bookshelf with an unnatural expression: "It's hard to describe. Maybe my life is too depressing. You can just understand it as a bad state."
"Yeah, I understand." Miss White Wolf said with deep conviction, "Sometimes I also feel very bored, as if life has no meaning."
Miss Lin covered her mouth and laughed. It was unknown what happy thing she was thinking about. After a long while, she said, "White Wolf, it's really interesting to talk to you."
Bai Lang lowered his head in embarrassment and said shyly: "I always have wild thoughts. If I say something wrong, just pretend you didn't hear it."
Lin Yuxia was about to say something when she suddenly heard a "plop" sound. It turned out that the bag that Bai Lang was holding fell to the ground.
"What's in there?"
"My work notes and some draft cooperation agreements. I thought I might sign some agreements this time."
"Were you surprised when you first came here? Weren't you here to discuss work? Why did you suddenly end up in such a strange little place?"
"Well, it's not strange, but it's definitely a little surprising."
"Actually, I'm taking a break today because I was very tired from dealing with the press conference. So I plan to take a break and I'm too lazy to leave here. Do you mind?"
Bai Lang didn't care about these details at all, she just felt it was strange. After Miss Lin said this, she even began to feel guilty.
The other party already has a lot of things to do, and I took time out to help her a lot some time ago. Now she finally gets a chance to rest, and I'm here to disturb her again. If I don't pay attention, I might end up being disliked by her.
She said anxiously: "No problem, no problem, please come whenever it's convenient for you, Miss Lin. I'm so sorry to bother you again."
Lin Yuxia looked away: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I've already promised you about the meeting, so I'll do what I said. In fact, I've already talked to Uncle Wei this morning, and he finally approved this meeting. In other words, as long as you're willing to hold it, Longmen can cooperate. Of course, it's just simple cooperation, and the rental fee of the Silver Tower still needs to be paid normally."
This news made Bai Lang very happy. The meeting could get the official permission of Longmen, which would naturally improve its credibility. And the "simple cooperation" mentioned by Miss Lin could be used to do a lot of things.
In her excited state, she suppressed the urge to wag her tail and asked eagerly, "Can we put the Longmen logo on the conference brochure?"
"Of course there is no problem with this, but the process needs to go through the normal process. The documents that use the Dragon Gate logo need to be sent to me for review. If there is no problem, it can be sent to the Guard Bureau for filing."
"Yes, and also, can we let the people from the Imperial Guards be responsible for security during the first few days of the meeting? Scholars from other places are not familiar with Longmen, and they should only recognize official institutions like the Imperial Guards."
"It's theoretically possible, but I can't help you. You need to talk to Chen Hui... Ahem, Officer Chen yourself."
"I will. Thank you, thank you, Miss Lin. I don't know how to thank you. The conditions you helped me get are very important."
Volume 6: Chapter 70 How to build good relations with the Yan people
Lin Yuxia discovered that Miss Bailang had made a mistake.
When it comes to matters like Longmen's authorization, there has always been only one person who can make decisions, and that is Mayor Wei. Her own responsibilities are extremely clear, and it is impossible for her to affect Longmen's public power, let alone help Bailang negotiate these conditions.
Although this was the fact, outsiders could not possibly know the details. She could just accept it at this point and gain the other party's gratitude. It had to be said that Miss White Wolf's gratitude was a great temptation to her.
how should I do it?
She looked at the white wolf, and saw joy, expectation, trust, and the reflection of her own hypocrisy in those black eyes.
The confused mind at the fork in the road found its direction. Lin Yuxia sighed and wanted to speak, but felt embarrassed.
She never said anything to show weakness.
"Ahem, Miss White Wolf, I can't actually help you get those conditions. They were all proposed by Uncle Wei from Longmen's perspective. You may not know that Yan Country has the strictest rules and regulations on the distribution of power, and irrelevant people are absolutely not allowed to interfere."
However, Miss White Wolf's train of thought always brings unexpected results: "I know, I read in a book that they are afraid of relatives interfering in politics, right? The last time this happened was during the reign of Emperor Zhu Min more than 700 years ago."
Although it was off topic, Lin Yuxia was really shocked. Her index finger trembled slightly: "You, how do you know this? The history books of Yan State have never been leaked."
"No, it's not that it never flows out. Envoys from Yan Country would regularly send printed copies to the Victoria Library, and then exchange them for other books. The books in the library are used by researchers. I have borrowed some books from there before."
"Well, I thought..." Lin Yuxia looked at Bai Lang with strange eyes, "This is something that most Yan people don't understand. After Emperor Zhu Min ascended the throne, he trusted the eldest princess and asked for her opinion on everything. Later, some court officials sided with the eldest princess, and a lot of troubles occurred."
"What exactly happened? I wanted to know at the time, but the book just glossed over it."
"I don't know either. You'll have to ask... those old scholars in Yan Country for more details."
She originally wanted to talk about Chen Huijie, because the other party was a member of the Dragon Clan and knew everything about the Yan Kingdom royal family. But when the words came to her lips, she felt it was inappropriate. It would be too uncomfortable if Miss Bailang really went to ask, so she changed her words appropriately.
Miss White Wolf said indifferently: "Forget it, I'm not really interested in these. I guess the routines are all similar."
"That's the Yan Kingdom's royal family, so it should be a little different."
"The Yan Kingdom's royal family is also human, and humans make mistakes. People like the current Emperor Wenyuan should rarely appear."
"Hush, it's dangerous for you to say such things in Yan Country."
"Well, I didn't think much of it."
"Be careful."
"Well, according to the rules of Yan Country, shouldn't you report me?"
"Report it, and then let Chen Huijie take you away? I won't do that."
"Thank you." White Wolf scratched his head embarrassedly, "I was indeed not considerate in what I said just now. I hope I didn't offend you."
"Why do you find this offensive?"
"You are from Yan country, is it possible that you feel uncomfortable?"
"No, but you must remember to try not to casually talk about the Yan Kingdom royal family in front of other Yan Kingdom people in the future."
"I understand."
"Also, I think what you said is right. There are a lot of messes in the Yan Kingdom's royal family, but the current Emperor Wenyuan is recognized as a good emperor. Every Yan Kingdom person is fortunate to live under the rule of Emperor Wenyuan, including me."
"Ah."
"So, I'm very happy that you praised Emperor Wenyuan just now. When you talk to the Yan people in the future, you should learn to praise the Yan country's landscapes, calligraphy and painting, and writing. Every Yan countryman is proud of it. If you accidentally mention the royal family, you should show that you are a supporter of Emperor Wenyuan and don't mention anything else. This way, it will be easy for you to build a good relationship with the Yan people."
Miss Bailang nodded in agreement, and then tried to imitate, "I understand, Miss Lin, the Yan country characters embroidered on your clothes are really beautiful, and the Yan country jade pendant hanging around your waist is also very beautiful, with Yan country landscape paintings on it."
Lin Yuxia didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You don't have to learn and use it right away. If you tell me now, it will definitely not work for me."
"I know, I just want to try it out to get a feel for it."
"did you find it?"
"No, I think it's fake and weird."
"strangeness?"
"The embroidery is beautiful, and the jade pendant is beautiful too, but you are more beautiful than them all, and I can only praise the embroidery and the jade pendant, as if I can't find the point."
"you……"
"What's wrong with me? Is there something wrong?".
Miss Bailang always spoke seriously, and the confusion in her tone was genuine confusion. This calm tone seemed to have magical power, giving Lin Yuxia a strong sense of strangeness and panic.
It's not like she hadn't been praised before, but they all said that she was ruthless, loyal to her subordinates, fair in rewarding and punishing, and that she was a qualified successor.
She had never heard such words before. They were simple and each word was ordinary, but when they were put together and spoken by that mouth, they had the power to make her heart beat faster and make her happy and nervous.
She had always had many schemes and plans against Miss White Wolf, but suddenly, all these things were scattered and lost in an unknown corner, and her calmness and composure were temporarily lost.
In a panic, a thought flashed through her mind unconsciously: Does Miss Bailang really need her to teach her how to please the Yan people?
This was the first time that Lin Yuxia abandoned that fake smile in front of Miss Bailang, and her tone became dry because of her confusion: "No, nothing."
Bai Lang noticed that the other party was not in a good state, so he asked, "Well, Miss Lin, are you feeling unwell?"
Lin Yuxia shook her head, her eyes dodging and she didn't know how to explain. Suddenly she saw the fruit plate on the table and said, "Apple, didn't you say you wanted to eat apples?"
Miss White Wolf was a little confused and puzzled, but she replied honestly, "Well, I was so busy talking that I forgot. You eat too."
Lin Yuxia subconsciously took a piece of fruit from the fruit plate and was about to put it to her mouth when she suddenly realized that she was holding an apple, but there was only one apple on the plate.
She put one of each kind of fruit, and the pink apple was specially for Miss White Wolf. She had just been inviting Miss White Wolf to eat the apple, but then she took the apple and ran away.
The scene became very awkward for a while. Miss Lin did not look at Bai Lang, but she could feel his confused gaze.
At the critical moment, Miss Lin had an idea and came up with a solution: "Let me help you peel the fruit."
"Oh, how can this be so embarrassing? I don't like eating apples."
“There may be pesticides on the surface.”
Miss White Wolf stopped talking. Some things don’t matter if you don’t know them, but they matter once you know them. She didn’t want to be treated the same way as Little Bug.
Volume 6: Chapter 71 True Face
In the warm room, Miss Lin lowered her head and peeled an apple. Miss Bailang sat beside her, staring at the pink apple in her hand with great interest.
She began to imagine an orchard in her mind.
At that time, the apple was still very small and green, living happily on the treetop, without any worries, and bathed in warm sunshine every day.
Suddenly one day, a big gray bug appeared with a large army, and Little Apple's brothers and sisters were killed one after another. Just when it was about to meet its doom, a tall giant god appeared in time and used a magic weapon to perform forbidden magic.
Suddenly, the east wind brought divine rain, and the insects died in the rain, and the fruit trees came back to life.
To the apple, human beings are the gods who saved its life, but this god actually has bad intentions. He has always had dark ideas and wants to sell it to the evil gods like gluttons.
The evil gods live in a place called Terra. They are moody and eat three times a day...
Just as Miss White Wolf's dark fairy tale was reaching its climax, she suddenly had an epiphany and realized that the evil god was actually herself, and she let out a cry of surprise.
Lin Yuxia was already confused, and she became even more nervous under Miss Bailang's 'absorbed' gaze. Suddenly, she saw the other party's frightened look, and her heart trembled. The silver fruit knife went astray, leaving a bright red blood line under her knuckles.
"Oh, you are hurt." Miss White Wolf came back to her senses.
"It's okay, I have Rhine..."
"Let me bandage you. Do you have bandages or disinfectant?"
Lin Yuxia wanted to say that she had Rhine Life's special topical medicine, which could be simply applied, but after hearing Bai Lang's words, she decisively changed her words: "There are spare bandages and disinfectants on the shelf, next to the bookshelf, on the third layer from the bottom."
Miss Bailang hurried to the shelf, bent down to find the medical props on the shelf, then brought them to Miss Lin, squatted down and started working.
Lin Yuxia didn't care about the wound on her hand. She handed her hand to Miss Bailang and then stared at her quietly. Miss Bailang was just squatting in front of her, frowning, concentrating on treating the wound, and didn't notice her gaze at all.
This process also surprised her. She thought she could enjoy the pair of soft, white hands, but the actual situation was not like that: Miss White Wolf's movements were neat and efficient, like a surgeon who had been booked by a large group of people and just wanted to finish quickly so that she could arrange for the next one.
But even so, she still got what she wanted from it, which made her feel happy and light-hearted.
"Your technique seems very professional. Have you learned it specially?" she asked softly.
"Yes, I have learned it. This skill is very important, especially when dealing with dangerous missions."
Lin Yuxia suddenly remembered that these dexterous hands were the hands that wielded swords.
When Miss Bailang was busy with Bingshi's affairs, she always ignored his identity as a top swordsman. You know, it was Bailang who helped solve the problem of Scar Eyes, which had been bothering the Longmen Mafia for a long time.
If the same thing happens again, will she still be willing to entrust Miss White Wolf to handle it?
"I heard that a swordsman's strength is always tempered in life-and-death situations. You must have had a hard time in the past."
"It's OK. Sometimes I get into trouble, but I'm lucky. I met a very good teacher."
"It can be seen that mentors are always very important. It's a bit strange to say, but I often feel that you don't look like a swordsman."
