“Company?” Bai Chen could not help but frown after hearing what Long Shen had said.
He had not heard from Long Xu In before that she had a company. Moreover, it was also located in Xing Zhou city.
Long Shen nodded at Bai Chen when he saw the frown. “It seems you did not know yet that Xu In owns a company. She is the founder, actually.”
Long Shen beamed happily when he talked about this. To be frank, he was actually quite proud of his younger sister as she was out doing her own business instead of working in the family business.
And her business was a big success. It was now ranked the third most successful company in Xing Zhou city.
It had been in fourth place before the Liu family was dealt with. After that, it had automatically become the third in Xing Zhou city. As for the first and the second, they belonged to the Li and the Qian family.
“She established the company herself?” Bai Chen was surprised. He knew well how hard it would be to build a company. Not only was a lot of money spent, but that person also needed potential.
Without potential, the company would not be able to last long!
“I wonder what she’s thinking. She didn’t even tell my brother-in-law about the company.” Long Shen shook his head a little. “But yes, once Xu In gets here, I’ll take you there myself.”
All Bai Chen could do was nod in agreement. He also wanted to know what kind of company Long Xu In was running.
‘Is it electronics, I wonder?’
The thought suddenly popped up into his head. He recalled that when he’d met her the first time, the window of the Life-Changing System had told him that she was a genius at computers and electronics.
‘There is a high chance of that being so,’ Bai Chen concluded.
Long Shen looked at Bai Chen. He thought that maybe Bai Chen was wondering about what kind of company his younger sister’s company would be.
“The company is named SA. Corporation. It does many things in regards to computer programs and produces electronic parts to be distributed locally and internationally,” Long Shen explained.
Bai Chen nodded once as a sign that he understood.
The name of Long Xu In’s company being ‘SA. Corporation’ could not be anything else other than being the S probably from ‘Xu’ and being the A from ‘In’. Together, they combined to be “Xu In”.
The name of her company came from her name for sure.
A little bit of time passed as Bai Chen and Long Shen talked about general matters. Eventually, the food was served.
After the meal, he said goodbye to Long Shen and went straight home. What Long Shen wanted to talk about was nothing serious at all, just that Long Xu In would be back in town tomorrow.
......................................
The next day was Friday. Bai Chen had to go to school. Even though the field trip had taken three days and two nights, school was still going on as usual. That was why Bai Chen needed to go.
He left home early after helping his parents prepare for the shop’s opening.
He arrived at school a little after 8 a.m. The classes went by as usual until the end of the day.
“I’ll see you later, Bai Chen.”
Li Lin waved at him at the school’s front gate before getting into her ride home.
Bai Chen waved back at her. He dragged his bicycle along the street in front of the school.
Riiiing… Riiiing… Riiiing…
The phone suddenly rang.
Bai Chen pulled his iPhone 7 out of his pants pocket. He looked at the number that was calling briefly before picking up.
“Hello.”
“Hello, Bai Chen.” It was a female voice. She was none other than Long Xu In “I’m back. Are you free now?”
“I am.” Bai Chen did not waste any time thinking because he had nothing to do anyway. The system’s missions were still on hold because of the upgrade. It would be about a month before he could complete any of them again.
“Where are you now? I’m going to go get you.” Her voice seemed very happy.
“Let’s meet at Xing Xiang park,” Bai Chen told her.
“Okay.”
Seconds after that, Long Xu In hung up. Bai Chen put his phone back into his pants pocket and rode his bicycle to Xing Xiang park.
Not so long after that, Bai Chen arrived at the park. He parked his bicycle under a tree and waited for Long Xu In on a bench nearby.
There were not a lot of people at the park this evening. It was probably because it was not the time for people to come out for exercise yet.
It was only a little after 4 p.m. It was not considered late evening yet.
Bai Chen waited for Long Xu In quietly. He sometimes looked around him. Eventually, a BMW drove into the park and parked in the designated parking space.
The car door was opened. A beautiful girl stepped out. She was wearing a white blazer, a white skirt, and black stockings. It was the same combination that she’d had on when she first met Bai Chen.
Her caramel-colored hair was pulled up in a ponytail like the first time, too.
She gently closed the car door after she got out. She then looked around for Bai Chen.
Bai Chen got up from the bench and walked towards Long Xu In.
As soon as she saw him, Long Xu In’s eyes abruptly stopped on Bai Chen. She pursed her lips a little. Her heart fluttered a bit. It had been days since they had last seen each other.
Since that day, she’d realized that she had fallen in love with him. Therefore, it was only normal for her heart to beat faster now that she was seeing him again.
Less than a minute passed, Bai Chen stopped in front of Long Xu In. He smiled at her while thinking, ‘She is as beautiful as ever.’
“Long time no see, Xu In,” he said.
“Uh-huh.” Long Xu In smiled back. Her smile was still pretty as usual, even though she did not smile much.
“I heard from my brother that you wanted to visit my company?” she asked.
Bai Chen hesitated before answering. “Yes. You never told me you had one.”
“You didn’t ask.” Long Xu In shook her head with a smile. “I’ll take you there.”
“Now?” Bai Chen looked at Long Xu In.
“Yes. Unless you’re not free?”
“It’s nothing like that. I just have to drop my bike off at home first,” Bai Chen said and pointed at the bicycle under the tree.
Long Xu In looked at where he pointed and nodded once. “No problem. I’ll drive over and pick you up.”
“Okay.” Bai Chen immediately walked towards his bicycle.End of Chapter 189
