“… I really want to know who is so fortunate to be able to gain your favor.”
Ling Xuewei could hear the probing tone in Wang Hao’s words.
Moreover, she also knew that what Wang Hao said was basically true.
Before coming to the company, Ling Xuewei had already expected that her sudden change in appearance would definitely arouse the curiosity and speculation of her subordinates.
She might as well take advantage of this opportunity and use Wang Hao to make everyone stop speculating.
Thus, Ling Xuewei said, “I need to attend a banquet tonight, that’s why I’m dressed like this. Don’t make wild guesses. Before the company goes public, I won’t be in the mood to fall in love.”
“Also, tell them that since they are so free, their KPI will increase by 30% This month. If they can’t achieve it, their bonuses will be docked.”
Wang Hao observed Ling Xuewei’s expression when she spoke and felt that what she said should be true.
Thus, the unknown anger in his heart instantly disappeared.
It didn’t matter if she increased his KPI, as long as the woman he liked was not taken away by others.
Wang Hao smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll inform them immediately.”
“Okay, go.”
Ling Xuewei nodded and continued to play with the necklace in her hand. She seemed to be very reluctant to part with it.
Seeing her actions, Wang Hao could not help but be confused.
‘Could it be that President Ling wants to give the necklace away?’
‘Otherwise, why did she look so reluctant to part with it?’
However, the necklace was such a personal item. Moreover, she had worn it for many years so he thought that she would not give it away so easily.
If she wanted to give it away, it would definitely be because she had a close relationship with the recepient.
Moreover, they must also be very close.
Thinking of this, Wang Hao’s heart, which had just settled down, instantly became anxious again.
Could President Ling really have a boyfriend or a romantic partner?
These guesses were like countless ants crawling through Wang Hao’s heart.
It made him feel uncomfortable all over, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, he was only Ling Xuewei’s assistant now. Although he had a very high administrative level in the company, he did not have the power or position to ask about his boss’s personal matters.
He was uncomfortable.
‘Annoying!’
With this mood, Wang Hao spent the whole morning constantly finding fault with his colleagues and subordinates.
In addition, all the departments in the company had had their KPI target increased. For a time, the entire company was complaining.
However, Ling Xuewei did not know about this, nor did she have the spare time to care about it because Lin Bai had already arrived.
She had no choice but to put in 120% of her energy to discuss various cooperation details with Lin Bai in a bid to maximize the benefits for herself.
Lin Bai wasn’t polite either. After a few rounds of fighting and negotiating, the final agreement had very limited benefits for Soaring Phoenix Real Estate.
However, considering that this cooperation would give Soaring Phoenix Real Estate a chance to get in touch with the high-end market as well as the high-end customer base, Ling Xuewei still accepted Lin Bai’s conditions.
Although she wasn’t as satisfied as she had expected, this result was considered acceptable.
After both parties signed the contract, Lin Bai smiled and said, “We’ve finished discussing business. Now, it’s time to talk about personal matters. I wonder when you plan to pay for your mother’s treatment, President Ling?”
The treatment fee he was talking about wasn’t money, but Ling Xuewei’s necklace.
Ling Xuewei had already wiped the necklace clean before Lin Bai arrived and placed it in a jewelry box.
When she heard this, she pushed the jewelry box in front of Lin Bai and said with a smile, “Now.”
“My mother has been in good condition for the past few days. She hasn’t had any lapses again. Moreover, I specially brought her to see a psychiatrist and had her tested again. The doctor also said that my mother’s current mental state is completely normal. Mr. Lin, your medical skills are really amazing. Thank you for curing my mother.”
Lin Bai smiled. “It was nothing.”
As he spoke, he opened the box and looked inside. It was indeed the necklace that Ling Xuewei had been wearing.
Lin Bai took it out and played with it in his hand. The feeling was the same as his prophecy tablet. It was obviously made of stone, but when he touched it, it had a warm and cool feeling like jade.
This unique feeling made Lin Bai even more convinced that this necklace pendant was indeed made of the same material as the Mayan prophecy tablet in his hand.
He just wanted to go back and try to piece them together as soon as possible to see if they could be put together.
He estimated that the probability should be high because the stone tablet in his hand was actually not complete, and a lot of the patterns were missing.
Seeing that Lin Bai was engrossed in it, Ling Xuewei knew that he really liked this pendant and not just casually saying it.
Thus, Ling Xuewei couldn’t help but guess whether Lin Bai knew the origin of this pendant or the story behind it.
She was a little doubtful if Lin Bai had anything to do with that educated youth from the countryside.
Thus, she asked tentatively, “Mr. Lin, forgive me for being presumptuous, but why do you want this pendant so much? Does it have any special meaning to you?”
When Lin Bai heard Ling Xuewei’s question, he could not help but feel his heart thump.
He wasn’t sure if Ling Xuewei also knew about the uniqueness of the Mayan prophecy tablet.
‘Could it be that this woman also has the ability to predict things?’
This thought quickly flashed through Lin Bai’s mind. Then, he couldn’t help but use the enhanced version of the Divine-Level Human Discernation Technique again to look closely at Ling Xuewei’s entire life experience.
However, he didn’t see any words related to predicting things.
However, this did not prove that Ling Xuewei did not have the ability to predict because Lin Bai was not sure if the system could hide the relevant content.
Ling Xuewei felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Lin Bai.
She forced a smile and said, “I’m sorry, I asked too many questions.”
“I was just curious for a moment. I didn’t mean anything else.”
Lin Bai had already finished reading her life story at this time. He retracted his gaze and casually said, “It’s fine. Ijust felt that the design on this pendant was very special and wanted it on a whim. Thank you, President Ling, for giving up your beloved belonging.”
Ling Xuewei smiled and said, “It’s good that you like it, Mr. Lin. By the way, I have a presumptuous request. I don’t know if you will agree to it, Mr. Lin.”
Lin Bai nodded and said, “Go ahead.”
Ling Xuewei said, “Although my mother doesn’t have any mental problems, she still has many chronic illnesses.”
“I took her to see a doctor and prescribed a lot of medicine, but she insisted that the Western medicine has a lot of side effects, so she refused to cooperate.”
“She thinks that your medical skills are very good, so she really hopes that you can continue to help her recuperate. I wonder if you have the time, Mr. Ling? Of course, you can decide the payment. As long as it is within my ability, I will definitely satisfy you.”
Ling Xuewei was afraid that Lin Bai would misunderstand and think that she wanted to take advantage of him, so she quickly indicated that she was willing to pay the corresponding remuneration.
