Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 405 Bai Ling, who has completely turned to Ximen's ways

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Bai Ling, having had a good night's sleep, arrived at the Special Operations Detachment Command Post, feeling refreshed and radiant.

When I arrived at the place, I saw that Lao Luo had been in a meeting all night and had stayed up all night again. His dark circles were so heavy that he could play a panda, and his bloodshot eyes were as red as a rabbit's.

Seeing that he was in such a bad state, Bai Ling swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

He then offered words of advice.

"Old Luo, you're our backbone, our commander-in-chief. You can't keep pushing yourself like this. You need to rest properly when you need to! Otherwise, if you break down, no one will be able to take over all this work!"

Bai Ling said this entirely out of good intentions.

Of course, Lao Luo could fully sense Bai Ling's concern about his health, and he also clearly understood that what Bai Ling said was the truth.

But even if what Bai Ling said is true, so what?

With so much work on his hands, can he just abandon it and give it up?
And these sudden emergencies, these major situations I learned from Ximen Lang, he said, even the biggest things are not as important as my rest. I will report to my superiors after I have rested and regained my energy.

Can?

This is clearly impossible and unrealistic!
So, although Lao Luo himself knew that continuing like this was not a solution, and that there would eventually be a time when he would run out of what he had left.

But because he was so worried, he could only grit his teeth and persevere.

"Besides, it's not just me who's going through this. Aren't your elders going through it just like me? In fact, they're going through it even harder than me!"

"To put it simply, every time I report a new situation, especially a major one, the leaders have to stay up for several nights in a row. Even after they've finally figured things out, they still can't delay and have to make a decision as soon as possible."

"Plus, I can't neglect my regular work, so if we're talking about staying up late, those guys can stay up much longer than me!"

"And then there are all those experts and scholars who are summoned every time. Aren't they racking their brains to study the new technologies that A-Lang brings, and working through the night to study the new situations that A-Lang brings?"

"Compared to them, my job is already much easier."

Of course, the main reason is that everything he did was meaningful, and of great significance!

Because Ximen Lang is busy with that kind of thing all day long, his social circle is relatively narrow, and he usually only interacts with a limited number of people, so he may not feel it very clearly.

But Lao Luo felt it all too clearly!
It's no exaggeration, because his position was indeed quite high, and he could see a very far distance.

Every day, even when Ximen Lang couldn't see him, Lao Luo could clearly sense the astonishing energy that Ximen Lang had accumulated for the world of Beijing through the technology and equipment he brought back from the future!
This energy is unprecedented and unparalleled!
And it's accumulating at a rapid pace, changing every single day!

Things are changing so fast, folks! If the time is right and all this accumulated energy is unleashed, then the world of Beijing will be incredibly powerful!
The lifelong dream of Lao Luo and his generation was to witness firsthand how Beijing could truly become prosperous and strong!

For this ideal, they would not hesitate to lose their lives!

"So, it's just a little tiring, but what does that matter? Compared to the achievements we've made, it's insignificant. It's worth being a little tired."

His heartfelt words, brimming with profound enlightenment, made Bai Ling feel utterly ashamed of herself.

Seeing that not only had she failed to dissuade Lao Luo, but had even been infected by him and become as energetic as if she had been injected with chicken blood, she not only felt full of enthusiasm, but also began to feel ashamed of her slackness these past few days.

Seeing that Lao Luo's infectious enthusiasm was truly outrageous, Bai Ling quickly banished all her feelings of shame and guilt from her mind. She sighed in admiration...
"The problems with the hospital and sanatorium really can't be delayed any longer. Otherwise, if you keep working day and night like this, your health will definitely collapse sooner or later!"

He gestured to the four men to unload a whole truckload of coffee and fine tea from their car.

Bai Ling explained to Lao Luo, who was looking at her with confusion.

"I know I can't persuade you otherwise, so I'll just do my best to provide logistical support. Of course, you can forget about cigarettes and alcohol; they're all bad for your health and not good for you. I definitely won't provide those. So, drink more of this instead; at least it'll keep you alert."

After saying that, he saw Lao Luo waving his hand to refuse.

Bai Ling said unhappily.

"Stop rambling on and on! These things aren't worth much, just take them! And I'll cover the portions for the leaders! As long as they can relax a little during their busy schedules, I'll give them whatever they want!"

His boldness, exactly like Ximen Lang's, was overwhelming, making Lao Luo swallow back all the words of refusal he could think of.

After repeatedly expressing my gratitude, I could only accept these gifts.

"Alright then, I'll take advantage of Madam Ximen's influence and shamelessly accept it."

After washing his face and refreshing himself, Lao Luo immediately asked about Ximen Lang's situation.

"Hey, by the way, Bai Ling, why are you here so early today? Where's A Lang? Wasn't he with you yesterday?"

"Him? I sent him back. And he was sent back right after visiting the lighter factory."

"They rushed back? What happened?"

"What else could he do? He just took her body the day before yesterday, and then disappeared without a trace! In that situation, who wouldn't feel comfortable? They'd have to spend some time with her!"

Isn't it?
Although Xia Yiyi said that work was more important and things here were more important.

But Bai Ling is a woman too. Doesn't she understand what Xia Yiyi wants most right now?

So, after finishing everything during the day, without any further ado, Bai Ling sent Ximen Lang back to the future so that he could accompany Xia Yiyi, who needed his company the most at that moment.

Seeing that Bai Ling's mind was truly exceptionally broad and her considerations were exceptionally thorough.

After secretly noting down the significant fact that Ximen Lang and Xia Yiyi had made a breakthrough, Lao Luo decisively gave Bai Ling a thumbs up.

He showered Bai Ling with compliments, making her roll her eyes.

Seeing that she indeed lacked the talent for flattery, Bai Ling proved to be far stronger than she had imagined.

Luo decisively abandoned the meaningless flattery and turned to talking about serious matters.

"You came so early today, there must be something wrong. Tell me, what's the matter that's so urgent? Has something new happened?"
