She was somewhat surprised that Sheng Qi had found out so quickly. It must have been Zhang Xiaochu who told him. But she was surprised—didn’t Zhang Xiaochu hate Sheng Qi to the point of wanting him dead? Bai Tang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"Getting expelled and still in the mood to laugh?" Sheng Qi frowned. "My dad said he’s getting old and wants to retire to the mountains. He wants me to come back and take over the family business!" Bai Tang spoke with a smile, her cheerful laughter betraying no hint of a joke.
Sheng Qi’s brow furrowed deeper. "Where are you now?" The girl’s soft voice rang out. "I’m in your heart." "Bai Tang!" Sheng Qi’s tone carried a warning, deadly serious.
But Bai Tang laughed joyfully. "To think that a beauty like you would worry about me one day—I’d die without regrets!" Sheng Qi pressed his lips together, her flippant personality like punching cotton.
Without another word, Sheng Qi turned on his computer, tilting his head to hold the phone against his ear while his fingers flew across the keyboard. Soon, a location appeared on the screen. Looking at the spot, Sheng Qi’s already furrowed brow tightened even more. What was this girl trying to do?
"I’ll come find you," Sheng Qi said flatly. Bai Tang was about to respond, but Sheng Qi had already hung up.
Staring at her phone, Bai Tang raised an eyebrow. "Does he even know where I am?" Putting her phone away, Bai Tang saw they had arrived. She opened the car door, got out, slung her backpack over her shoulder, and strode straight toward the towering building ahead.
The receptionist stopped her. "Miss, who are you looking for?" "Your chairman," Bai Tang said. "Do you have an appointment?" the receptionist asked. Bai Tang shook her head. "No." "Miss, without an appointment, I can’t let you in," the receptionist refused.
Bai Tang smiled. "What if I’m a shareholder of your company? Still can’t go in?" The receptionist froze, clearly skeptical of Bai Tang’s claim. At that moment, Bai Tang was still wearing her school uniform and carrying a backpack—how could she possibly be a shareholder?
"Call Bai Chengfeng right now and tell him Bai Tang is here to see him," Bai Tang said with a smirk, flashing a roguish grin as she brushed past the receptionist and headed for the elevator.
The receptionist tried to stop her, but Bai Tang was too quick, and there was no time. Seeing this, the receptionist quickly called Bai Chengfeng’s assistant to report the situation.
Upon receiving the call, the assistant’s face darkened. He hurried to the chairman’s office, knocked urgently, and rushed in. "What’s the matter? So flustered!" Bai Chengfeng frowned. "Chairman, the eldest daughter is here at the company!" the assistant said hastily.
Bai Chengfeng stopped what he was doing, his expression shifting slightly. "Have security throw her out," he said coldly.
Just then, a playful voice rang out from the office doorway. "Chairman Bai, aren’t you welcoming me?" "What are you doing here?" Bai Chengfeng snapped, his tone displeased.
Bai Tang curled her lips, a half-smile playing on her face. "Didn’t you tell me to drop out and come back to inherit the family business?" "Inherit the family business?" Bai Chengfeng sneered. "You think you’re worthy?" "Whether I’m worthy or not, I’ll show you today," Bai Tang said with a laugh, her gaze sweeping across the office. It was spacious and bright, filled with priceless antiques worth millions—truly extravagant.
"This office looks nice to me, but the color scheme is a bit dull. Assistant Li, contact a renovation company and have them change it." "Bai Tang!!!" Bai Chengfeng slammed his hand on the desk, glaring at her. "What exactly are you trying to do?"
Bai Tang smiled sweetly, a roguish grin on her face. "I’m here to inherit the family business!" "Get out of here!" Bai Chengfeng barked coldly. "Call security upstairs immediately!"
