Volume 2: Greed Chapter 120: The Handsome Tramp
Ting'an Buildingββ
As one of the few buildings in the imperial capital that exceeds 500 meters, Ting'an Building has long become one of the landmark buildings in the imperial capital, not only because this building is tall enough, spectacular enough, and located in the bustling city center, but also because it belongs to the Bai family, a super family with a lot of weight in the imperial capital.
Ting'an Mansion was not originally called this name, but since the assassination time that shocked the entire imperial capital ten years ago, Bai Zhenting, the head of the Bai family, changed it to Ting'an, taking the word An, with the intention of keeping his family safe.
On the highest floor of the building, the entire exterior wall is made of glass, standing here, it is no exaggeration to say that it can completely overlook the entire imperial capital, and this room is also the owner of this building, the head of the Bai family, and Bai Zhenting's office.
At this time, Bai Zhenting was still dressed in that dress, wearing an unassuming look suit, although low-key, but also decent, comfortable, he stood in front of the glass wall, quietly watching the rain from big to small, watching the sky change from dark, the originally gloomy to make people's hearts depressed clouds at this time because of the rain almost completely cathartic reasons also became transparent, under the long-lost sun, it actually emitted an orange light, which looked extremely magnificent.
"The rain is stopping. β
Looking at the rain that was dripping in front of him from time to time, Bai Zhenting said in a deep voice, he looked down, because the rain was getting smaller, and many people were already running out with their heads covered, their steps were hurried, but they were as small as ants.
"Oh, it's good that the rain has stopped, it's the most annoying rain. β
sighed again, at this time, he was the only one in his spacious and exaggerated office, and he had been working for so long, and everyone in the company who was qualified to approach Bai Zhenting knew that he didn't like rainy days the most, especially this kind of lightning and thunderous rainstorm, so no one dared to touch his moldy head, which made Bai Zhenting stay in the office alone, and it was rare to relax for a while.
Seeing with emotion, the mobile phone he put in the inner pocket of his jacket suddenly rang, listening to the familiar ringtone, Bai Zhenting showed a loving smile at the corner of his mouth, after all, ordinary people will call his secretary when they look for him, even if it is an important person, it is also to call the landline in his office, and the mobile phone he carries with him will remain open twenty-four hours a day, because only one person will call his mobile phone, the most important person to him.
took out his mobile phone, Bai Zhenting didn't even look at it, answered the phone without thinking, put the phone to his ear, and said softly: "Ruxue, what's wrong?"
The voice fell, and the soft voice of Bai Ruxue came from the phone: "Dad, why did you answer so quickly, will it be fine?"
"That's right, you girl, you know that as long as it rains, no one dares to disturb your father. Listening to Bai Ruxue's question, Bai Zhenting said with a smile.
Bai Ruxue also smiled and said, "Hehe, of course I know." β
"What's the matter?, what's the matter?" Bai Zhenting looked up at the beautiful orange clouds and asked with a smile, because of the high floor, he even felt that he could touch the fairyland-like landscape as soon as he stretched out his hand.
"Of course. Bai Ruxue said: "It's raining so hard today, I want you to come back for dinner in the evening." β
"Oh? Bai Zhenting raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand to brush the cold glass in front of him, and said, "Then I will tell Xiao He later, let him push off tonight's arrangement, and I will go home directly." β
"Really?" After listening to Bai Zhenting's words, a white voice came from the phone.
"That's right, my baby daughter asked me to go home for dinner, even if there is a big event, I have to wait!" Bai Zhenting knocked on the glass with his index finger, listened to the crisp sound, and said with a smile.
"Well, come back soon, I've told the kitchen to make something delicious tonight. β
"Eh, that's not necessary, just eat something. Bai Zhenting said.
"Haha, actually, I want to eat something delicious, giggles. β
Listening to Bai Ruxue's heartfelt laughter, the smile on Bai Zhenting's face became more and more intense, his facial features were almost crowded together, and he didn't know how many more wrinkles would appear, but he didn't care about it, and said softly: "Okay, let them do whatever you want to eat, if you want anything, I'll bring it back to you on the way back." β
"No, just come back. β
"Well, okay, I'll go tell Xiao He now. β
"Uh-huh, okay, bye-bye. β
"Okay, bye-bye. β
With a smile on his face, Bai Zhenting's hand didn't move, and he waited until he heard Bai Ruxue's busy sound after hanging up the phone, and then gradually took the phone down, although the joy in his heart couldn't be concealed at all, but he still shook his head helplessly, and said softly: "This girl." β
While speaking, Bai Zhenting used his mobile phone to send a message to his secretary Xiao He, asking him to come to his office, after the message was sent, Bai Zhenting put the mobile phone that was already a little dilapidated, the configuration could not keep up with the current mainstream at all, and even some stuck mobile phones were carefully put into the inner pocket of his clothes, although Bai Ruxue said a few times to let him change his mobile phone, but every time he smiled and shook his head, over time, no one mentioned this matter anymore, after all, except for Bai Ruxue, who in the company would dare to let him change his mobile phone? Of course, as for the reason for not changing the mobile phone, Bai Zhenting also said that this mobile phone was bought by his baby daughter with the first pot of gold he earned, so no matter how good the mobile phone is configured outside, in his eyes, he is not even qualified to put it together with his own mobile phone.
After putting away the mobile phone, Bai Zhenting smiled and looked down at the street under his feet, he suddenly saw a black car parked in front of the company building, which made him a little strange, it was already the company's off-duty time, how could there be a car that he had never seen before? But the next moment, after he saw the person who got out of the car, the smile on the corner of his mouth instantly froze on his face.
On the first floor of Ting'an Building, it was time to get off work, and many people walked out of the door in twos and threes, at this moment, I saw a young man in ragged clothes but with steady steps against the crowd and walked into the building.
As soon as the security guard who was sitting in front of the gate saw the young man, he also stood up directly, took out an electric baton from his waist, and walked towards the young man like a great enemy, after all, no one knows what the madman will do, even if he is not injured, wouldn't it be very unlucky to be spit on by him?
However, when the security guard walked in front of the young man, he found that although his clothes were tattered and his hair was wet, his eyes were very clear, and his steps were steady, and he didn't look like a madman.
But to be on the safe side, the security guard stood three steps away from the young man and shouted, "Young man, what are you doing here?"
Looking at the cautious security guards and the melon-eating crowd in a circle around him, the young man looked down at his clothes, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and said, "I'm here to see you Mr. Bai." β
"Mr. Bai?"
Hearing the young man's words, the security guard was happy, this young man is really a madman, as soon as he opens his mouth, he wants to see Mr. Bai, I still want to see Mr. Bai, is it possible? But as soon as he grinned, the security guard thought that he was professionally trained, and no matter how funny things were, he would not laugh, so he forcibly held back his smile and asked with a serious face: "Young man, you said you wanted to see our Mr. Bai, do you have an appointment?"
"Nope. β
The young man shook his head truthfully.
"Hey!"
Seeing that the young man was so honest, the security guard almost laughed out loud, but after all, there were so many people around him, and Xiaohua, who had a crush on him, was also looking at him, the security guard couldn't help but cough twice, straightened up, and after holding back the smile, he said in a deep voice: "Then I'm sorry, young man, I don't have an appointment, I can't see Mr. Bai, let's wait for you to make an appointment, and then come after confirming the time with Mr. Bai." β
"No, I can't. β
Looking at the security guard who was a little lower than himself, the young man shook his head calmly and said in a deep voice, "I have to see him today." β
"Oops. β
The security guard shouted, quietly clenched the electric baton in his hand, and said loudly: "The company has company rules, and if you don't make an appointment, you just can't see Mr. Bai, besides, do you think Bai is always anyone's sight?
Listening to the harsh sarcasm, the young man's expression remained unchanged, but he didn't bother to deal with the security guards, and he was about to walk forward with his feet raised.
Seeing the young man walking towards him, the security guard's body instantly tensed, although the company turned on the air conditioner, and it was not hot today, but his back still oozed a lot of sweat, holding the electric baton, the security guard quietly swallowed saliva, looking at the young man who was getting closer and closer to him, he was about to raise the electric baton, stabbed the young man, in the security guard's own words, it was to give him a look, at the same time, Bai Zhenting's voice suddenly sounded in the hall on the first floor.
"Alright, let him come up. β
In an instant, the whole space was silent, the huge hall, now quiet even a needle can be heard clearly, everyone looks at each other, as an employee of the company, of course Bai Zhenting is very familiar with their big boss, that is indeed Bai Zhenting's voice, but, that is their big boss, except for the chance encounter in the company on weekdays, it can be said that it is difficult to see him, and now he will speak in person, so that this young man who looks like a madman goes to see him, and many people even wonder if they heard it wrong.
And in the center of the crowd, the security guard who had taken out the electric baton was now frozen in place, like a sculpture, of course he knew that it was Bai Zhenting's voice, but... Why?
At this time, although the security guard looks calm on the surface, but the heart is already turbulent, everyone looks at him at the moment as if they are like a stab in the heart, like a mang's back, he is embarrassed to find a crack in the ground to get into, just fine, now he has openly mocked this young man, after completely tearing his face, the boss suddenly said to see him, what should he do?
But even so, the days still have to pass, and after a moment of entanglement, the security guard gritted his teeth, stiffened his movements and put the electric baton back, then turned around and stood down towards the place where the sound came from, and replied, "Okay." β
After doing this series of actions, the security guard turned around again, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, and bent down to the young man and said, "Please." β
"Hmm. β
Fortunately, the young man didn't bother the security guard, and after bypassing him, he walked straight to the elevator.
Everyone in the hall watched the young man walk into the elevator, close the elevator, and disappear from everyone's sight, and the whole hall was in a commotion again, as if countless flies had suddenly entered.
The last moment he was a homeless man who everyone looked down on, and the next second he was personally summoned by the boss, which made everyone talk about it, and the sloppy man who just looked at it was not pleasing to the eye, now in retrospect, he was a little handsome, and even many people began to speculate whether the young man was the son of a big family, who came here to do performance art?
