Chapter 207: Introducing a Potential Partner to You

Han Dongbei's expression brightened.

Following that, the two of them ate a meal in quiet.

After Han Dongbei left, Meng Ze noticed a box of cherries placed on the bedside table in the room; he tasted one, and it was large and sweet.

Afterwards, he silently ate half the box.

……

Bai Shuruo was at work; although after-sales work did not have as much pressure as pre-sales, after-sales was prone to receiving abuse and required resolving many unexpected incidents.

Just like today, a middle-aged man, looking burly and rough, came in and angrily threw his car keys in front of Bai Shuruo.

"I bought this car from you, and it hasn't even been a month, yet the engine is making a rumbling sound. What kind of piece-of-junk car is this?"

Bai Shuruo said politely: "Sir, this is a new energy vehicle; it seems there is no engine."

"Whatever, the front of the car is making noise. You have to solve the problem for me; if you can't solve it, give me a refund!"

Bai Shuruo first went to look at the car with him, registered the issue, and then contacted the technical staff to come over for an inspection.

The man was still complaining incessantly on the side: "Tell me, isn't it bad luck? I heard your cars were good, so I sold my BMW X5 and bought this car, and look at the result..."

Bai Shuruo's ears were almost developing calluses.

Later, the technical staff inspected it and discovered it was due to his improper use of the vehicle.

After resolving this issue, another person came in for maintenance; this kind was simpler, just register it and arrange for someone to come over to inspect it.

And so, this day passed in such a busy manner.

When they finished work in the evening, the manager treated the department staff to a meal.

To be precise, the manager had a son, and the veteran employees egged him on to treat them to a meal.

The manager was happy himself, so he booked a table at a nearby restaurant.

Bai Shuruo went along as well.

She had been working for many days, and she knew everyone in the department, just not well.

Others were quite curious about her; questions they usually didn't dare to ask, they dared to ask at the dinner table.

Someone asked her: "Bai Shuruo, what is your relationship with President Ling?"

Bai Shuruo said: "He is my sister's friend."

Although there was new employee training when joining the company, and the training manual also had the name of the founder, Bai Shunan, very few people remembered this name; they only remembered that Ling Feng was the boss of their Beishi 4S dealership.

Therefore, when Bai Shuruo mentioned her sister, very few people connected it to Bai Shunan; they only assumed Ling Feng had pursued her sister, and that her sister was one of Ling Feng's many girlfriends.

Sure enough, a sister surnamed Wang asked: "Ling Feng has many girlfriends, right?"

Bai Shuruo said: "I don't know about that; I don't care about his private affairs. Besides, he and I aren't particularly close."

(Ten kilometers away, Ling Feng sneezed violently. He thought of Bai Shuruo; back then, he had called her little Ruoruo.)

Wang Jie didn't dig up any useful gossip, so she asked Bai Shuruo again: "Are you married?"

Bai Shuruo said: "I am single."

Wang Jie's eyes suddenly lit up: "You are from Fengcheng, right? Are you here in Beishi to make your way alone?"

Bai Shuruo nodded.

Wang Jie said: "It must be very hard to make your way alone; have you thought about finding a boyfriend? I have a cousin; he is also single. He runs a cake shop and has two chain stores. He has high standards and is in his thirties without a girlfriend, insisting on finding someone beautiful. I think you are quite suitable; would you like to consider him? He currently has a car and a two-bedroom apartment on the Fourth Ring Road."

Bai Shuruo said: "He has high standards? Then perhaps I am not suitable. I am single, yes, but I am divorced and have a daughter, whom my ex-husband is raising."

At the dinner table, the whole table of people who had just been pricking up their ears to listen to gossip were astonished.

They all looked at Bai Shuruo; such a young and beautiful girl, yet she was divorced and had a daughter.

Wang Jie also took back her previous words: "However, I think you are still quite excellent; you are a good person and work hard. How about I keep an eye out for others for you? I have two more cousins who are also in Beishi."

Bai Shuruo smiled and said: "No need to trouble yourself. I have just started working, so naturally, work is my priority."

"Right, it's best for girls to be economically independent; don't think about relying on a husband, relying on yourself is the most practical." Wang Jie was no longer interested in introducing a partner to Bai Shuruo.

……

Fengcheng.

Bai Shunan had already been back from the United States for several days.

As soon as she returned to the company, she started her busy mode again, spinning around from morning till night.

On Saturday noon, Gu Yunting called her: "Nannan, I am in Fengcheng."

Bai Shunan's heart tightened.

The scene at the villa in the United States surfaced in her mind, and her heart felt chaotic for a moment.

After a while, she composed her emotions and asked: "Does President Gu have something to say?"

"I want to invite you to a meal; I wonder if you would do me the honor?"

Bai Shunan said: "But I don't have time; I'm still at the company, and there are many reports waiting for me to review."

"But it's noon now; you have to eat, right?"

"My Secretary will order takeout for me; I'll just make do with something in the office. President Gu, I have to get back to work; let's talk when I have time in the future."

After saying this, Bai Shunan hung up the phone.

However, leaning back in her chair, her mind kept replaying the sound of him yelling at Mo Wanqing that day: "... I am just shocked at how pathetic I was before; clearly there was a girl by my side who loved me so much, yet I foolishly went to fawn over you..."

Just as she was thinking this, the office phone rang.

The Secretary on duty called in: "President Bai, President Gu of Gu Group says he wants to see you."

"Is he downstairs?"

"He said if he can't see you, he will livestream his past with you at the front desk."

"……Let him come up."

Before long, Gu Yunting carried several takeout boxes and sat in Bai Shunan's office with his legs crossed.

"President Bai, I've brought up the takeout you wanted. Since you have to eat anyway, why not make do and eat what I brought?"

Bai Shunan said, "You are truly shameless."

"Between wanting face and wanting you, I choose to want you."

Bai Shunan's heart gave another twitch.

To be precise, it moved fiercely.

"What delicious food did President Gu bring?" she asked, sitting over.

Gu Yunting opened the takeout boxes one by one and introduced them in turn: "These are all things you like to eat: braised eggplant, braised fish in vinegar, and also a kelp and pork rib soup."

Bai Shunan said, "These are things *you* like to eat, right? Since when did I like eating these?"

"You don't like them?" Gu Yunting was astonished.

Bai Shunan said, "I am a native of Fengcheng; what I clearly like are steamed pork ribs, white-cut chicken, stuffed peppers, and stuffed eggplant."

Gu Yunting said, "My Secretary is still downstairs; I will have him bring these few dishes up immediately."

"Forget it, I don't have much time, I don't have time to mess around with you. I'll just reluctantly eat these few dishes. Once I'm done, you must leave; I still have work to do, I'm only giving you half an hour."

There was already obvious joy in Gu Yunting's eyes.

It was rare for Bai Shunan to agree to eat with him; this counted as a big surprise.
