"Time flies by so quickly..."
The soft murmuring was scattered by the evening wind on the 36th floor.
In just five months, Gu Bai’s life had completely transformed.
In the past, in the city of Shanghai, he could only witness others’ glamorous lives with his own eyes. But now, his life had reached a level so high that ordinary people couldn’t even look up to it.
"Chairman Gu, you seem to have many thoughts."
Gu Bai didn’t turn around. Besides Ai Shengnan, no one would speak to him in such a tone.
Gu Bai was somewhat vague.
Standing side by side with Gu Bai, Ai Shengnan said, "At your age, you shouldn’t have so many reflections. I’m very curious about Chairman Gu’s identity. I wonder if you’re interested in introducing yourself to me."
"Identity? Just an ordinary person."
"An ordinary person managing hundreds of billions in cash flow?"
Gu Bai pointed at the brightly lit streets of the Bund, looking at the pedestrians like ants, and softly said, "A few months ago, I was one of them, even less so."
Although Ai Shengnan listened quietly, it was obvious she didn’t believe Gu Bai’s words.
Gu Bai turned to glance at Ai Shengnan and smiled lightly.
He knew Ai Shengnan wouldn’t believe this, but he just wanted someone to talk to. After all, keeping such a big secret in one’s heart without telling anyone could drive a person mad.
"I wonder if you’ve thought about what I said last time?"
Seeing Gu Bai’s sudden change of topic from a melancholy handsome man to this subject, Ai Shengnan was caught off guard and blushed a bit, saying, "I thought you’d stay serious for a while."
"Am I not serious now?"
Ai Shengnan rolled her eyes at him, turned her head, and looked through the glass window at the harmonious and laughing group of girls in the living room, saying, "Aren’t all these flowers enough for Chairman Gu?"
"Even if the house is full of flowers, if I come across one I like, I can’t help but pick it."
"If Chairman Gu thinks I’m the same as those shallow women inside, then you’ve got me wrong."
Gu Bai chuckled softly, "As long as you agree with me, at the next board meeting, I’ll propose for you to join. I know for a strong woman like you, money and such things don’t matter, so I’ll offer you power.
And I must correct one thing, they’re not shallow women, just a group of girls pursuing their dreams."
"Is Chairman Gu hoping I, like them, obediently become a canary?"
"You’re certainly different from them. Your identity is your capital. You can consider me as your partner, an unconventional partner."
Ai Shengnan stared straight into Gu Bai’s eyes, and Gu Bai didn’t avoid her gaze, meeting her look.
After an unknown amount of time, Ai Shengnan seemed to have thought it through and laughed lightly, "There are too many people tonight, and the wine wasn’t enjoyed. I still have a bottle of genuine ’82 Lafite at home. I wonder if Chairman Gu is interested in temporarily leaving these full-blown flowers to taste wine with me tonight?"
Women admire strength.
Especially a woman like Ai Shengnan.
After being challenged by Gu Bai for some time, Ai Shengnan’s previously strong personality gradually crumbled in front of Gu Bai.
Just as Gu Bai predicted, Ai Shengnan would sooner or later yield to him.
If we were to compare all the women around Gu Bai to drinks:
Zhang Yumeng would be green tea, seemingly pure and appealing but has a tinge of bitterness after tasting.
Qi Man would be white liquor, intense and difficult to handle, yet sweet to those who can hold their liquor.
Yi Yiyi would be milk wine, smooth and milky, without causing a headache.
Peng Shiba would be a cocktail, glamorous yet lacking depth.
And Ai Shengnan would be the ’82 Lafite she spoke of, mysterious, noble, only to be tasted by someone of higher status.
Afterwards, Gu Bai gave brief instructions, asking these women to rest well there, while he went to enjoy Ai Shengnan’s intense ’82 Lafite.
Before the Redemption of the Kidney Eater.
Sleeping with a large group was still a dream, especially with six ladies. Dıscover more novels at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹·𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾·𝗇𝖾𝗍
