Chapter 133 Bai Yi's meanness
Ning Yuechen struggled to get up amid the sound of the alarm, squinted at the dawn outside, cursed Bai Yi a hundred times in his heart, and then slowly got out of bed.
She dressed and washed as quickly as possible, then arrived at the restaurant's coffee room on time. At this time, the family's chef also arrived.
Aunt Zhou seemed to have not expected her to get up so early. She was stunned at first, then smiled and greeted her: "Good morning, Miss Ning."
"Good morning, Aunt Zhou."
Aunt Zhou looked at the slowly rising sun outside the window and said, "Boss Bai usually doesn't get up so early to exercise. I heard that it's because the group has a very important shareholders' meeting today, and she has to rush to the company at 7:30. It's hard for you, the child, to get up early too."
Ning Yuechen smiled politely and said, "As Mr. Bai's special assistant, it is my job responsibility to help Mr. Bai at any time. It's not hard at all."
Today is her third day off. Although she doesn't have to go to work, she has to work as a special assistant until she starts school. One of the most basic tasks of this position is to follow Mr. Bai's instructions anytime and anywhere and arrange all of Mr. Bai's daily affairs.
Ning Yuechen couldn't help but feel a strong resentment when he thought about the fact that he didn't even have a chance to sleep in during the entire summer vacation.
Bai Yi, this ugly capitalist!
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Aunt Zhou, she went to the coffee room and started making coffee. Soon the entire restaurant was filled with the aroma of coffee, mixed with the faint sweetness of toast.
Ning Yuechen really likes this kind of down-to-earth atmosphere. It would be even better if she was not at the Bai family at this moment.
When Bai Yi arrived at the coffee shop, he saw a girl with long hair and wearing light-colored casual clothes with her back to him, admiring the scenery outside.
Looking from her direction, the girl's graceful and slender figure blends perfectly with the beautiful mountains and rivers she sees, and under the shining and dazzling morning sun shining through the stained glass windows, it forms a romantic ink painting.
Beautiful, gorgeous, and full of brilliant vitality.
It was at this moment that Bai Yi finally found the answer she had been looking for in her heart.
Ning Yuechen was enjoying the quiet and warm moment facing the warm light of the morning sun, until the coffee machine behind him sounded a prompt. He turned around lazily, but was shocked to see someone who had appeared out of nowhere. The calm smile on his face froze instantly.
Seeing her standing there blankly, Bai Yi took the initiative to speak: "Why are you standing there? The coffee is ready."
Ning Yuechen took a deep breath and then walked towards the coffee area silently.
Seeing that she still had a cold face towards him, Bai Yi frowned slightly, but still said nothing and turned to walk outside.
She felt helpless, because compared to Ning Yuechen's previous attitude of avoiding her, the feeling of alienation now that this person was right beside her but completely isolated her from her world was what made her feel helpless.
Bai Yi naturally knew why Ning Yuechen had this attitude towards her, but it was impossible for her to change her mind according to his wishes, let alone let go.
Bai Yi sat down at the dining table, looking at the breakfast that had been prepared, without any appetite. It was not until a cup of fragrant coffee appeared in front of her that she took a sip.
Then he looked at the person sitting opposite him and asked, "There is an art exhibition in Xingshui this afternoon. I received an invitation. Do you want to join us?"
Ning Yuechen was stunned and asked in disbelief: "Doesn't she never hold exhibitions?"
As a young painter who has become very popular in recent years, Xingshui is almost a mysterious figure who can only be seen in his paintings but not in person.
The most talked-about thing about her is that after her value skyrocketed overnight with a work that was full of childlike fun yet extremely realistic and ironic, and she became a hot new generation of young painter, she disappeared for a full six months as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth.
When her new works appear again, it brings another huge impact to the industry. Because of this, her works have become valuable but hard to find. Because no one knows when this mysterious painter will produce new works again.
Such a great artist who only pursues artistic creation and is not tainted by the dust of the world is now going to hold an art exhibition?
Ning Yuechen would rather believe that this is a rumor.
Bai Yi saw her reaction and explained, "It's not really an exhibition. It's just a personal art appreciation meeting. She only invited her friends in the industry and displayed all her works that have not been shown to the public for everyone to appreciate."
Ning Yuechen understood now, and suddenly a sense of anticipation rose in his heart, and asked: "What time in the afternoon?"
Seeing that she was finally happy, Bai Yi's lips curved slightly and replied, "It starts at five o'clock, but you can enter at half past four."
"okay."
Ning Yuechen finished the coffee in the cup and asked her, "Do you have time to come over?"
She knew that an important shareholder meeting like today would take almost a whole day. Then she heard the other party's answer: "The meeting time has been moved forward by two hours, and it can end at 4 pm."
Ning Yuechen silently put down the cup in his hand. When he thought about the older shareholders on the board of directors who not only had to get up early to attend meetings at the company, but also had to compete wits and courage with Bai Yi, a little fox who had practiced for thousands of years, and try hard to accept her innovative reform ideas that were in line with the times, he felt inexplicably sympathetic towards them.
Seeing that she was silent again, Bai Yi spoke up, "I've asked the housekeeper to transfer living expenses to your card. You can go shopping and buy something you like before going to Country M."
She glanced at the ordinary summer suit the man was wearing and added, "If you are not satisfied with the clothes prepared for you at home, go and pick out the ones you like, or directly ask the brand to send them to you. It's all fine."
Since returning to the Bai family, he would only accept the dresses she gave him when he accompanied her to important events. Otherwise, whether at work or at home, he would only wear the cheap clothes made of ordinary materials that he brought back from school.
Bai Yi couldn't stand it any longer, but he also knew that this person was stubborn and wouldn't listen to him. Just like now, this person completely ignored his words and didn't pay any attention to them.
After thinking for a while, she changed her words: "We are going to Country M the day after tomorrow. If Shi Yu sees that you are the same as before, she will feel more relieved and her mood will be better."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Ning Yuechen stopped eating. He looked up at her, wanting to say something, but in the end he just continued eating in silence.
Bai Yi knew that she had listened to her words, but she was not very happy. She was good at calculating people's hearts, but she couldn't read what Ning Yuechen was thinking. Many times, she didn't know how to deal with the other party's anger and dissatisfaction.
She knew how to use Shi Yu to control the other party, and she also understood Ning Yuechen's weaknesses. She knew even more clearly how to use these to achieve her own despicable means, otherwise it would be impossible for this person to return to the Bai family.
But apart from these, she actually felt helpless and powerless when facing Ning Yuechen.
That is why she wanted to take Ning Yuechen to Country M to meet Shi Yu, because this was her biggest trump card to achieve her goal.
