Bai Jie did not say much, sitting on the sofa and glancing around the office before quietly saying, "President Bing, I didn't come to see you for anything important today. It's just that we haven't met in two years, so I wanted to check in."
Through two years of experience, Bing Tianyi had learned a lot. Now that Bai Jie said this, he knew she must have something difficult to discuss.
Thinking of this, Bing Tianyi waved to Murong Qing and Old Huang beside him with a smile, saying, "You two can go out and handle other matters. Sister Bai and I will chat in the room."
Murong Qing looked somewhat displeased, but seeing Bing Tianyi's insistence, she had no choice but to leave with Old Huang.
Once the two left through the door, Bing Tianyi moved forward and sat at the desk, smiling as he asked Bai Jie, "Sister Bai, is there something you can finally talk about now?"
Bai Jie stood up and smiled at Bing Tianyi, saying, "President Bing, do you remember two years ago when I asked you to look for the Dragon Vein?"
Hearing this, Bing Tianyi nodded and smiled back, "Of course I remember."
"Well, if I said I'm here again for that matter, would you still be willing to help me?" Bai Jie asked seriously.
After two years of studying divination, Bing Tianyi now had a new understanding of locating the Dragon Vein. However, he knew that with his current abilities, it would still be somewhat difficult to find it.
Moreover, he had a lot of company matters to deal with and was planning to focus on developing towards Lan City soon. If he agreed to help Bai Jie now, it might hinder his plans for Lan City.
Considering the current situation, Bing Tianyi politely smiled and said, "To be honest, since that time I searched for the Dragon Vein, I haven't researched divination much. So it's unlikely that I can help you find it now."
"President Bing really knows how to joke. If I'm not mistaken, you started out relying on divination. Think about it—how could someone forget their own expertise after doing other businesses? I believe someone as smart as you wouldn't make such a foolish mistake," Sister Bai said with a hint of meaning in her words.
Upon hearing this, Bing Tianyi helplessly smiled and replied, "Sister Bai, those of us in the divination business are most wary of using our skills for personal fortune-telling. Although it may show immediate results at first, it will definitely lead to retribution later on."
Bai Jie was not foolish either; she thought to herself that if Bing Tianyi hadn't used divination skills, how would he know that the county would develop westward in recent years? Moreover, she had visited the land where Bing Tianyi contracted to plant saplings before coming here. The area designated for relocation was less than two meters away from the land he contracted.
Thinking of this, Bai Jie said earnestly to Bing Tianyi, "President Bing, if you can help me find the Dragon Vein, I'll give you this amount directly. That way you won't have to rack your brains over what business to do."
As she spoke, Bai Jie surprisingly extended two fingers.
Bing Tianyi smiled and said, "I think I'll pass. I feel more secure doing business."
"Is it possible that President Bing is really going to let go of two hundred million in funds?" Bai Jie asked in surprise.
Upon hearing the figure of two hundred million, Bing Tianyi was stunned. After more than two years of hard work, he had only managed to accumulate just over one hundred million. He never expected that this woman would offer such a high price for a Dragon Vein.
If this had been two years ago, Bing Tianyi might have actually nodded in agreement upon hearing this. Back then, he didn't have a deep understanding of the Dragon Vein, but after two years of research, he now knew what finding a Dragon Vein meant.
Moreover, he was still unclear about Bai Jie's true identity. If he handed over the Dragon Vein to her, it would undoubtedly lead to disaster for the country and its people, making him a historical villain.
"Sister Bai, I actually want your two hundred million as well, but my abilities are limited and I really can't help you," Bing Tianyi said with a feigned difficulty.
Seeing the expression on Bing Tianyi's face, Bai Jie thought to herself that since he wouldn't help her, she would let him see in the future. Sooner or later, she would make him kneel down and beg for her assistance.
With this thought in mind, Bai Jie smiled lightly and nodded at Bing Tianyi, saying, "President Bing, since that's the case, I won't say much more. We will meet again."
After saying this, Bai Jie stood up and walked out of the office.
Seeing this, Bing Tianyi quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Sister Bai, how about I treat you to dinner tonight?"
Bai Jie didn't say much and simply turned to leave. Watching her departing figure made Bing Tianyi feel increasingly uneasy.
Once Bai Jie left, Murong Qing and Old Huang entered the office. Upon seeing the troubled expression on Bing Tianyi's face, Old Huang chuckled and asked, "What’s the big deal? It's just a woman."
"Haha, I knew two years ago that Bai Jie wasn't an easy character. It seems my biggest rival has just appeared," Bing Tianyi said seriously.
Old Huang was surprised by this and asked Bing Tianyi, "What? Did you have a falling out with Bai Jie?"
"I can't say for sure; it's likely that's how it is," Bing Tianyi replied before walking over to the window and gazing at the night sky over the county town with a deep sigh.
Old Huang thought for a moment and sat on the sofa while murmuring to Bing Tianyi, "I don't know much about Bai Jie. I hadn't heard of her before either. It was only four years ago that she suddenly emerged and became wealthy. In less than half a month, she made friends with those in the upper class of the county."
"Do you really only know this much?" Bing Tianyi quickly turned around and asked Old Huang with a clear tone.
Old Huang smiled wryly and said, "If I knew anything else, would I not tell you?"
"Then do you know who else in the county might know Bai Jie's identity?" Bing Tianyi asked, filled with curiosity.
Old Huang shook his head and replied with a bitter smile, "I really don't know about that. Even if someone in the county knows, they probably wouldn't tell you."
"Why not?"
"The reason is simple. You've seen the people under Bai Jie. Moreover, from what happened before, it's not hard to see that Qidaxian and Bai Jie are in cahoots. Just think about it—if Qidaxian can find legitimate assassins, then it would be easy for Bai Jie to find a few as well," Old Huang analyzed seriously.
Hearing this from Old Huang, Bing Tianyi felt disheartened. He never expected that the biggest hurdle in his life would be women, and in the end, he even jumped into the river because of one. He thought that with his good fortune with women, he wouldn't have to deal with them again, but now with Bai Jie showing up today, he was once again entangled with a woman.
Thinking about this, Bing Tianyi bitterly smiled to himself and sighed, "Having too many women isn't good, but having too few isn't either. What exactly is the right balance?"
Murong Qing stood nearby and noticed the strange smile on Bing Tianyi's face. Curiously, she approached and asked, "Why do you look so mischievous?"
"Not at all! I'm not being mischievous," Bing Tianyi quickly waved his hand and laughed. After saying this, he turned serious and asked Murong Qing, "Has Manager Mo not returned from the field investigation in Lan City yet?"
"Not yet; it should be happening in the next couple of days," Murong Qing replied directly.
Bing Tianyi sat on the chair and pondered for a moment before saying to Murong Qing, "I don't have much going on right now. You should call Manager Mo tonight and tell him not to come back for now. I'll go check out the situation in Lan City tomorrow."
"What? Are you planning to go there?" Murong Qing asked curiously.
Bing Tianyi smiled calmly and said, "What's wrong? Are you worried I won't come back after going?"
Bing Tianyi was very clear about the future situation. Although he currently had over a hundred million in funds, if he wanted to develop real estate in Lan City, he needed to choose an excellent location. If he couldn't do that and built a property over two years, he would undoubtedly suffer significant losses.
After all, he was well aware that the real estate market would start to decline after two years.
"You shouldn't come; what does it have to do with me?" Murong Qing pouted.
Old Huang, seeing the expression on Murong Qing's face, awkwardly chuckled and said, "President Bing, should I go outside and wait to come in later?"
"You old rogue, where are you thinking of going? This is the office; I won't do that kind of thing." After noticing Old Huang's strange smile, Bing Tianyi said helplessly.
Old Huang smiled and seriously said to Bing Tianyi, "President Bing, actually, it would be good for you to take a look. In the past two years, as long as it's a business you've confirmed, I believe it will definitely make money."
"Hey, you old fellow, it's been two years and you've never complimented me. What's gotten into you today? You're actually saying nice things about me?" Bing Tianyi asked Old Huang in feigned surprise.
Upon hearing this, Old Huang awkwardly replied, "There are some things I'm not sure how to say to you."
Seeing the expression on Old Huang's face, Bing Tianyi curiously asked, "Old Huang, you're not planning to leave, are you?"
Old Huang quickly waved his hand and laughed, "Not at all; I just have something I want to trouble you with."
To be honest, over the past two years, Old Huang's loyalty to Bing Tianyi was evident. Bing Tianyi also regarded Old Huang as an older brother or more accurately, as a figure similar to an uncle.
Now that Old Huang had brought this up, without thinking twice, Bing Tianyi smiled and said to Old Huang, "Alright, Old Huang, just say what you need; no need for all this."
"President Bing, I want to buy a house in Lan City; I'm a bit short on cash right now," Old Huang said somewhat awkwardly.
Seeing the embarrassed look on Old Huang's face, Bing Tianyi waved his hand and said, "Oh come on! I really thought you were going to ask me for something serious. It's just a house! How about this: I'll arrange things here tomorrow and then we can go to Lan City together. I'll help you buy a house there; how does that sound?"
