Chapter 287 282: President Bai, I'm Reporting to My Girlfriend

"Oh, right! How's it going with the girls you added on WeChat from the yacht!?" Wu Yun asked, suddenly remembering.

A slight smile touched Wang Gang's lips. "Song Qin said she wants to treat me to dinner, but it's in Modu."

The other four guys stared at Wang Gang in astonishment. They hadn't expected him to pull that off so quietly.

Wu Yun then looked at Cao Junlong and Ye Wentao.

Cao Junlong shook his head, showing he'd made no progress. Ye Wentao, for his part, just gave a wry smile. "Well, I made another 'bro'!"

"Don't worry, I'll have my girlfriend introduce you to some beauties from the dance department next time! A girl who can do the splits will easily have you completely under her thumb!" Wu Yun said comfortingly.

Cao Junlong looked puzzled. "Isn't Qi Fei in the performing arts department? How would she know girls from the dance department?"

A look of realization dawned on Wu Yun's face. He grinned and explained, "Oh! I forgot to tell you guys. That's a different girlfriend! She's in the dance department at my school, so it's not long-distance, right?"

"You... you... you! As expected, you rich guys get all the perks!" Cao Junlong sighed, looking up at the sky. 'It's a feast or a famine.'

"Well, who told you to fool around so much in the past? Now you can't even find a decent girlfriend when you want one."

...

The five men stood at an intersection, watching the endless stream of traffic.

"Where to?" Wu Yun asked.

"Foot massage, of course! We'll get a two-hour session, then head to the restaurant we booked for dinner," Wang Gang said, laying out the plan. "It's not far, just a kilometer or two! I even have a membership card! We'll walk over, it'll help us digest!"

Cao Junlong wore a lewd grin. "Brother Gang! Is this a... *legitimate* foot massage?"

Wang Gang shot Cao Junlong a look. "Look at you! Keep getting those 'improper' massages and your body's going to give out sooner or later. I know an old traditional Chinese medicine doctor..."

"Brother Gang, say no more! Give me his contact info right now!"

Laughing and joking, the five of them headed for their destination.

Two and a half hours later, the five of them walked out of ** Impression, feeling refreshed and revitalized.

"Dongliang, where is your dad's friend treating us to dinner?" Wang Gang asked as they started walking back.

Li Dongliang took out his phone and sent the address to the group chat. "Renhe Spring Hotel! We'll call him when we get there."

"Is your dad coming?"

"No, they're treating my dad to a separate dinner."

.....

Outside the Renhe Spring Hotel, Bai Yang glanced at his watch from time to time, though his expression remained calm.

He had only learned the details of the project after flying to Sichuan and meeting up with a former senior from his university. To be honest, Bai Yang had felt a slight pang of disappointment upon hearing that the total cost for construction, installation, and equipment procurement was only seventy to eighty million yuan. For his company, landing such a deal would only count as a small-to-medium-sized contract.

Still, holding to the principle that every little bit helps, Bai Yang had prepared all the necessary documents thoroughly.

An influential contact had already helped coordinate things, making the project a sure deal. From a business standpoint, however, the entertainment expenses still had to be paid.

However, Bai Yang had heard that the two major shareholders for this project were a pair of rich kids, which gave him a bit of a headache. The usual tactics he employed with shrewd, old-school clients probably wouldn't work on them.

Just as Bai Yang was pondering this, Xiaoli, one of the two employees he had brought from the company, pointed toward five cars approaching the intersection. "Minister Bai, they're here."

Bai Yang turned to look. The most eye-catching vehicles were a white Lamborghini and a white Aston Martin leading the pack, followed by a few ordinary-looking cars.

Guided by the hotel's security guards, the cars pulled into the open spaces in the parking lot.

Bai Yang stood to the side with his employees, waiting for his guests to emerge.

Since this was his father's friend, Li Dongliang took the lead. He walked forward with a smile and said, "Uncle Bai, let me introduce you. This is President Wu, Wu Yun, and this is President Wang, Wang Gang. They are the two major shareholders of Sichuan's Jinshan Environmental Technology."

"The other two are my friends, and they've helped out a lot on this project!"

Bai Yang quickly shook hands with Wu Yun and Wang Gang, greeting them with great enthusiasm.

This was the first time he had ever met such young heirs who were also entrepreneurs. He was particularly struck by Wu Yun, who looked to be about the same age as his own daughter. 'To think he's already the president of a company,' he thought.

"This way, everyone! Please!"

Led by a server, the group made their way to a private room on an exclusive floor.

After the customary polite back-and-forth, Wu Yun and Wang Gang took the seats of honor at the head of the table.

'This hotel can't be cheap,' Wu Yun thought, looking at the room's decor. 'Aren't there usually strict limits on business expenses for state-owned enterprises?'

Bai Yang, sitting opposite Wu Yun, smiled and asked, "What would you all like to drink?"

Seeing Bai Yang's smile, Wu Yun thought for a moment before replying, "President Bai, please don't go to any trouble. I have something on later tonight, so I won't be drinking. Feel free to order anything."

This was a line they had all agreed on beforehand. For Wu Yun, it was out of consideration for his future father-in-law. For Li Dongliang, it was a practical suggestion; since they were all well-connected, there was no need to make things difficult for their host.

Seeing that no one was planning to drink, Bai Yang nodded to the assistant beside him, and the two bottles of Maotai were set aside.

A mischievous impulse suddenly struck Wu Yun. He held up his phone and said, "Sorry, President Bai, I have to check in with my girlfriend first!"

Wu Yun opened WeChat and started recording a video. "See? I'm out for dinner tonight!" The camera panned across everyone's faces, deliberately lingering on Bai Yang for a moment.

"Alright! Thanks for your cooperation, everyone!" Wu Yun said with a laugh, putting his phone away.

Bai Yang chuckled. "President Wu, your girlfriend isn't in Rongcheng? Does she require you to check in?"

Wu Yun nodded. "That's right. She's still in school in the Capital City. I'm actually planning to visit her at the end of the month!"

He didn't specify where, of course. The more he said, the higher the chance of blowing his cover.

Hearing this, Wang Gang and the other three friends stared in unison at Wu Yun's face. Cao Junlong's expression, in particular, screamed: 'You bastard! Didn't you just say today that your girlfriend was in Rongcheng? How is she in the Capital City now?! You damn filthy rich playboy!'

Bai Yang, however, looked pleasantly surprised. "What a coincidence! When you come to the Capital City, President Wu, I must be sure to treat you to a proper welcome."

Just then, Wu Yun's phone, which he had placed on the table, began to chime repeatedly with WeChat notifications.

Wu Yun smiled. "You guys go ahead and chat! I just need to reply to a few messages!"

He opened WeChat, and a smile involuntarily spread across his face.

First, Bai Yue sent three "bonk" emojis, followed by a message: "Ah Yun! I'm going to tell my dad you're teasing him!"

"You're finished! I've got you now! Hahahaha~"

Wu Yun: "What do you mean? Haven't you had my 'handle' in your hands for a long time now?"

Bai Yue: "Ahhh~ You're such a pervert!"

A moment later, another message from Bai Yue arrived: "Ah Yun, keep an eye on my dad! Don't let him drink too much!"

Wu Yun: "And how are you going to thank me?"

Bai Yue sent three more "bonk" emojis, followed by: "I'm going to bite your 'handle' off!"

Wu Yun: [Terrified][Terrified][Terrified]

"Don't worry, we're not drinking tonight!"
