"Grandma, Niuniu understands," An Yiqing said with a smile, nodding obediently.
Xuandu City Eastern District, besides Xigang District, is the largest one.
In the center of Dongcheng District, streets buzz with activity as high-rise buildings tower above. Men and women, young and old rush about, perfectly embodying the fast-paced life of the modern city.
A black Mercedes slowed down in front of a skyscraper, the door opened, and An Yiqing, dressed in white, slowly stepped out of the car.
"Uncle Chen, you can go back first. I’m not sure when I’ll be done," she said, turning around with a cheerful smile.
Driver Old Chen nodded with concern and said, "Then, I’ll go back. Miss, if you need a ride, make sure to call me. I’m available 24/7."
An Yiqing nodded, waved, and watched as Driver Old Chen drove away.
The office building had sixty-eight floors and was filled with fashionably dressed men and women briskly moving through the lobby clutching documents. An Yiqing’s leisurely pace stood out amongst the crowd.
On the twenty-eighth floor, An Yiqing found her destination, following the route she remembered.
This was Bai Yiming’s current base of operations; he mentioned that all employees of Baiyu Brewery worked here.
Looking at the somewhat shabby storefront, An Yiqing’s eyes lit up with interest.
She never expected the picky Bai Family’s eldest son to willingly settle for a small office .
An Yiqing’s respect for Bai Yiming grew.
She walked in slowly, and at the reception desk sat a young woman about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
"Hello, Miss, may I ask who you are looking for?"
An Yiqing was very pleased in her heart; the woman was pretty, with a gentle and polite demeanor, far from the driving-away scenario she encountered last time at Bai Group.
"Hello, I’m looking for Bai Yiming."
"Bai Yiming?" The young woman looked stunned, then exclaimed, "Are you looking for Director Bai?"
Seeing An Yiqing’s affirming nod, the young woman steadied herself and gave her a discreet once-over before probing, "May I ask your name, Miss?"
"My family name is An, nothing esteemed."
"Ah! You’re Miss An!" the young woman exclaimed lightly, quickly saying, "Miss An, Director Bai is waiting for you in his office. Just go straight ahead to the room at the end."
An Yiqing nodded politely and turned to head inside.
After she left, several young men and women quietly emerged from their desks, all gathering around the woman who had just spoken to An Yiqing.
"Hey, hey, is that the Miss An? Wow, she’s really beautiful!" a woman said, admiringly watching An Yiqing’s retreating figure.
"Isn’t she just! I heard that Miss An is the owner of Yuyuanzhai, the chairperson of Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals, the precious jewel of the An Family, one of the Xuandu Five Great Families who disappeared for many years. Tsk tsk, any one of these titles is huge! Really incredible!" said a bespectacled man.
"What do you know? Let me tell you, all these vulgar titles aren’t the most important thing. I heard from a relative of mine who’s somewhat influential that Miss An is a Divine Doctor! Hey, hey, hey, what’s with your expressions? Have you used Qinglu Beauty Elixir and Skinny Pill from Xuanjin Pharmaceuticals? I heard that she personally developed the formulas for these medicines! She’s not just some itinerant doctor; she is the real deal, Divine Doctor! The only disciple of the famous Elder Master Ye Chenghong from decades ago! How about that? Shocked, right? Impressive, huh?" a young man with a square face boasted, spilling all the information he had heard as though revealing a treasure.
