Ling Xuewei was still focused on reading the information in her hands. She had no idea that the subordinate sitting across from her was already distracted and was letting his imagination run wild.

She carefully read every word on the document before closing the information and saying, “I’ve paid attention to the project of Yunding Villa before.”

“When Qingcheng Group was on the verge of bankruptcy and wanted to sell Yunding Villa, they actually contacted me privately and asked me if I wanted to take it over but considering the policy at that time, I didn’t agree.”

“Later, I heard that it was sold, so I didn’t pay attention to it anymore. I didn’t expect that the person who bought it was actually a student. Do you think there’s another financial backer behind it?”

Ling Xuewei had the same concern.

After all, such things were not rare.

Many high-ranking officials or businessmen had improper sources of funds and were unable to invest openly so they had find a puppet to do things for them.

Especially in the real estate industry, due to various restrictions on purchasing, high-ranking officials and businessmen were unable to hold too many properties on the surface. They would thus, also find people to purchase properties for them.

Therefore, Ling Xuewei had heard of many similar things but she had always been unwilling to be involved in them.

Even if she were to miss out on some profits, she did not want to be involved in the slightest because she was worried that once she got involved with this kind of money from unknown sources, there would be endless trouble in the future.

Although she was brave and decisive, she was very cautious in this aspect.

The person in charge of the business department secretly pinched himself and forced him to put away those romantic thoughts. He replied seriously,

“Yes, we were also very worried about this, so we argued for a long time in the meeting but in the end, we feel that if we can reach a partnership, the benefits of our company far outweigh the risks.”

“This is a rare opportunity to get in touch with the high-end market. President Ling, you should at least meet Mr. Lin before making a decision, right?”

He could see that Ling Xuewei was already thinking of rejecting him, so he tried his best to persuade her not to reject him directly because the opportunity to enter the high-end market was indeed very rare.

At the same time, he also had his own agenda. If the company could really expand the business to the high-end real estate market, he could also get in touch with more upper-class people in his future work.

Then, whether it was in career development or personal relationships, he would have more opportunities and choices.

To put it more bluntly, if he could curry favor with a rich second-generation heir, he would be able to work for a few decades less.

He might even be able to directly retire and enjoy a great life of wealth and freedom.

Who wouldn’t want such an opportunity?

Even if there was only a one in ten million chance, he didn’t want to miss it!

In fact, he had been trying to persuade Ling Xuewei to develop in the high-end market.

However, Ling Xuewei’s attitude was vague. She neither agreed nor refused. She only said that she was waiting for the right opportunity.

The person in charge was extremely anxious. He didn’t dare to make his intentions too obvious. God knows how torturous his life in the past few years had been.

“President Ling, you’ve always said to wait for the right time. I think this cooperation is the best opportunity!”

“Yunding Villa was involved in the various things behind Qingcheng Group. It was indeed a hot potato.”

“But now that Qingcheng Group has collapsed, Shen Wanqing has been shot to death, and the government’s policies have become more lax, this project is now a hot potato!”

“Are you willing to give such a good opportunity to someone else?”

The person-in-charge kept urging, repeatedly emphasizing the potential of Yunding Villa and Lin Bai’s sincerity.

Ling Xuewei was still very calm and was not affected by him. After weighing the pros and cons, she felt that she really should meet Lin Bai before making a decision.

“Help me make an appointment with Mr. Lin,” Ling Xuewei said.

When the person in charge heard that Ling Xuewei finally agreed, he was instantly overjoyed.

“Okay, okay, I’ll do it right away, Mr. Lin!”

…

After waiting for several hours, Lin Bai finally received an expected call.

“Mr. Lin, President Ling is willing to talk to you in person. Are you free at two o’clock the day after tomorrow?”

Lin Bai glanced at his class schedule. There was an afternoon class the day after tomorrow.

Moreover, it was a core module class taught by his form teacher, Zhang Yi.

“I’m free.”

Lin Bai did not hesitate at all and decided to skip class.

Anyway, he did not want to see Zhang Yi’s disgusting face. 

The loathsome Zhang Yi always found fault with him for no reason. He would normally take leave and deliberately refuse to approve it.

Now, Lin Bai was picking his class to skip. He wanted to see what he could do.

Lin Bai had money, and connections, so why would he be afraid of him?

Just as he was thinking, he heard the person on the other end of the phone say, “Okay, Mr. Lin. Two o’clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow it is. Please bring the original documents to our company. President Ling will personally discuss the details of the cooperation with you.”

Lin Bai replied with an “Okay” and hung up the phone.

Then, he suddenly quivered and finally realized what was wrong.

President Ling?!

Wasn’t the person who hit Sun Xiaogang’s parents surnamed Ling?

At that time, the man in the ward who was wearing a suit kept saying “President Ling”, which made Lin Bai feel disgusted when he thought of those four words.

‘F*ck! It can’t be such a coincidence!’

Lin Bai cursed in his heart, then quickly called Sun Xiaogang and asked him, “Have you contacted the lawyer? How’s the situation? Has the person who injured your parents contacted you?”

Sun Xiaogang sounded very tired.

“I’ve contacted them. The other party insisted that they would only pay 200,000 yuan at most. They also said that if they wanted to settle it privately, I have to apologize to them. My parents are already injured and they still want me to apologize? How is that possible!”

“That’s why I’m preparing to settle the lawsuit now. The lawyers are handling the procedures. I don’t know how far the process has gone.”

“The other party hasn’t come to the hospital again. It’s basically their lawyers who are talking to Attorney Han. I’m not too sure about the specifics.”

Lin Bai knew that Sun Xiaogang must have had a hard time taking care of his parents on his own.

Even with the help of the nurses, he couldn’t eat or sleep well in the hospital. After so many days, he must have been exhausted.

Therefore, it was normal that he didn’t have the energy to ask too many questions.

Lin Bai said, “Attorney Han is the best in this field. Even if he files a lawsuit, he won’t let your family suffer. Just leave him in charge.”

“By the way, do you know the name of the person who knocked down your parents?”

Sun Xiaogang replied, “Yes, I do know that. I think her name is Ling Xuewei. She’s a woman. Damn it, a female driver is just so unreliable!”

Lin Bai’s mind buzzed and he was stunned.

It really was Ling Xuewei.

‘Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?!’

Lin Bai did not process the contemptuous remarks made by Sun Xiaogang..
