Chapter 150: What Happened When He Was 19

Bai Shuruo said, "I actually don't know; I hadn't met him yet at that time."

"Maybe you had already met him?" Meng Siyu said, "Without you knowing it."

Bai Shuruo was stunned for a moment, always feeling that Meng Siyu's words had a hidden meaning, and that she was being mysterious.

She could not let Meng Siyu have her way, so she said, "I still think that knowing someone is knowing them, and not knowing them is not knowing them. How could there be a situation where you know someone without knowing it?"

Meng Siyu asked with a smile, "Are you not even a little bit curious about his past? What if it has something to do with you? Ah, right, I can't say any more. If I keep talking, it will make me look like a gossip."

"Thank you for the reminder, Sister Siyu. If I have time, I will look into it," Bai Shuruo said.

"You must look into it, otherwise you won't know how awesome this kid Han Yangting is."

Bai Shuruo smiled at her.

……

Returning home in the evening, Bai Shuruo was not in very high spirits.

Today was originally supposed to be for discussing business with Frank, but after the gathering ended, Frank was called away by Meng Siyu, saying they were going to a more fun place, and asking Bai Shuruo to make an appointment another day.

Ye Caiyue and Han Dongbei were at home. Seeing that Bai Shuruo was not in high spirits, Han Dongbei couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with Ruoruo? Why so listless?"

Bai Shuruo said, "I was supposed to go talk to Frank today, but after eating a whole meal, he didn't talk about business at all, and in the end, he ran off with someone else."

Han Dongbei did not know who Frank was, but Ye Caiyue did.

Ye Caiyue said, "Isn't that just a small boss from Southeast Asia? The business isn't big. If it didn't work out, it didn't work out. The company has so many businesses; one more doesn't make a difference, and one less doesn't either."

Bai Shuruo said, "I originally wanted to use him to open up the market over there first."

"If he doesn't have sincerity, then forget it. If he really has sincerity, he will come back to find you. Just leave him hanging for a few days and don't go looking for him. Maybe in a few days, he will come crawling back."

Bai Shuruo felt that Ye Caiyue's words made sense.

She suddenly remembered Meng Siyu's words and couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Mom, let me ask you something. Did Brother Han take over the company very early?"

Speaking of this, Ye Caiyue was clearly proud: "Yes, he took over the company when he was 19. At that time, it was just a small test of his skills..."

Ye Caiyue did not finish her sentence; it seemed there were some things that were difficult to speak of.

"Then he must be very impressive, right?" Bai Shuruo said with great interest.

"He is quite impressive, but... you also know, a 19-year-old young man is inevitably hot-blooded. Sometimes he didn't know the proper measure in management and only did what he thought was right, offending quite a few people in the industry."

Bai Shuruo expressed her understanding: "Doing business, there will always be such situations. Otherwise, why do they say the business world is like a battlefield?"

Ye Caiyue smiled and said, "It's good that you can understand, Ruoruo."

Bai Shuruo thought to herself, I naturally understand, but Brother Han doesn't need my understanding, right? After all, he is such an excellent person.

……

Evening.

Bai Shuruo lay on the bed waiting for Han Yangting.

She was wearing a beige silk nightgown tonight, lying on the bed, her body curves fully visible.

Han Yangting climbed onto the bed with a smile and patted her little bottom: "Little vixen, you really know how to seduce people."

Bai Shuruo turned over and laughed, "Who is seducing you? You wanted to come yourself."

Han Yangting picked her up and said, "I heard that things didn't go smoothly with the business today?"

"Yeah."

"Then do as Mom said and leave this Frank hanging. He will come to find you in a few days."

"Aren't you afraid he'll give the business to someone else? Several people were eyeing it that day."

"He won't. Other brands aren't as competitive as ours; they aren't even in the same league. Don't worry."

Bai Shuruo said again, "Brother Han, I don't like Meng Siyu."

"Her? What did she say to you?"

"She said that when you were nineteen, you were very impressive."

As soon as Han Yangting heard this, he immediately said, "Stay away from her in the future. It's best not to see her."

"But aren't you and her good friends?" Bai Shuruo asked.

"The boat of friendship has capsized," Han Yangting said.

"Brother Han, I always feel like she likes you."

"She did indeed confess to me, but I rejected her," Han Yangting said. "Someone like her is not my type."

Bai Shuruo said, "Whether she's your type or not isn't the point. The point is that the person is weird and cynical. Brother Han, you won't think I'm a 'green tea' for saying this, right? Actually bad-mouthing someone behind their back."

Han Yangting laughed and stroked her head: "You did the right thing. That person is indeed not a good person, and I will break off relations with her too."

……

The next day.

Bai Shuruo was browsing documents in the company.

Thinking of the matter Meng Siyu mentioned, she couldn't help but take a look in the old document area.

She was a Vice President and had this authorization.

However, while other documents could be opened, the documents from the year Han Yangting was 19 were damaged. Logically speaking, a young president who had just taken over the company should have had a good promotional wave.

She went online again to search for Han Yangting's past achievements.

I don't know if it had been scrubbed, but there was very little that could be found on the internet.

She went to check various investments made by Baiyin during that period, but couldn't find anything either. Baiyin Group was too big, and many subsidiaries were established during that time, but many were also deregistered later.

Bai Shuruo stopped caring about it.

However, while she was at work, her WeChat suddenly received a strange message.

She didn't know who sent it, but it actually contained some of the subsidiaries Han Yangting founded when he was 19. Things like Zhaojia Engineering and Nanyu Foreign Trade.

Bai Shuruo didn't know the intention of the person who sent her these things. After looking at them for a while, she didn't feel there was anything unusual.

However, all morning, many things from back then kept surfacing in Bai Shuruo's mind; Han Yangting was 19, so she was 12, which was exactly the year her father's accident happened.

Bai Shuruo looked over these company names again, and when she saw Sirui Technology Co., Ltd., a scene suddenly flashed through her mind.

It seemed to be in a hospital room, a conversation between her father and Aunt Fen.

Her father said, "Sirui is unscrupulous; they were too ruthless in how they handled this."

Aunt Fen said, "I will go and expose them in the industry."

"Don't. Their family business is vast and powerful; you cannot fight them. We failed this time, and that is all there is to say."

"But you..."

"This illness of mine likely won't get better. Take good care of them. Nannan is already grown, and Ruoruo is not your biological daughter; just raise Shuhua well."
