The little female is incredibly sweet and soft, healing the five evil beasts right from the start.

Chapter 316 Visit
Downstairs from Chang'an Pharmaceutical Company.

Jiang Mian glanced at Rong Fei, who was standing beside her, and asked again, "Are you really not going to do anything else?"

"Hmm, no." Rong Fei turned his head to look at Jiang Mian, and smiled slightly. "Baby, do you not want me to come with you?"

Jiang Mian naturally shook her head: "No."

Of course, she didn't say it out loud, but she actually felt that being too clingy wasn't good either.

After all, people tend to appreciate beauty when they are a little distant from each other.

But she definitely couldn't tell anyone.

"Xiao Jiang?" A voice, seemingly happy yet restrained, rang out.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Mian looked over and saw Zhou Bai walk out.

Zhou Bai still had short, jet-black hair, wore black-rimmed glasses, had dark eyes, and fair skin, like a painting rendered in ink wash, without any other special embellishment; the contrast of black and white was beautiful.

When he saw Jiang Mian, he naturally noticed Rong Fei beside her.

It's hard for him not to notice.

After all, everyone knows Rong Fei on the capital planet. Especially for companies with businesses on the capital planet, they have to be mindful of his mood. Whether they can survive on the capital planet can be decided by a single word from him.

Zhou Bai had naturally paid some taxes to the other party, but the other party didn't collect them personally. Nor did he personally hand them over; instead, he paid through a channel.

This applies not only to his industry, but also to other industries.

The capital city is now Rong Fei's territory, so naturally he has the final say.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Rong Fei." Zhou Bai politely extended his hand to Rong Fei.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Zhou." Rong Fei also politely shook hands with Zhou Bai.

The two briefly held hands before quickly letting go, both being the type of people who don't get too close to others.

"Back on the Exile Star, the guards prevented Lord Rong Fei from entering the City Lord's Mansion. I hope you won't take it to heart. After all, that was the situation at the time, and I was just acting according to the rules of this world." Zhou Bai suddenly remembered the Exile Star, when Rong Fei was stopped by the guards outside the City Lord's Mansion when he brought Jiang Mian there.

“I had long forgotten about it,” Rong Fei replied gently. “If Mr. Zhou hadn’t brought it up, I wouldn’t have remembered it at all.”

"I was overthinking it. It seems Mr. Rong Fei is magnanimous and shouldn't mind." Zhou Bai chuckled and responded gently.

“Of course,” Rong Fei replied softly.

Jiang Mian:......

What should have been a gathering of friends has somehow turned into a superficial, business-like situation.

I should have known better than to invite Rong Fei over.

Zhou Bai had no idea that Jiang Mian had brought Rong Fei with her. He thought Jiang Mian had come alone, but he didn't expect her to have someone with her.

"Let's go, let's take a look around the company," Jiang Mian said, interrupting the two's insincere conversation.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Bai gently replied, "Okay."

After saying that word, he looked at Rong Fei, then back at Jiang Mian, and asked softly, "Mr. Rong Fei, would you also like to visit our company?"

He took Jiang Mian to see more than just the external things; he also showed her some of the company's core assets. So it's normal for him to have some concerns, after all, Jiang Mian is a shareholder, while Rong Fei is nothing.

Perhaps there are other selfish reasons as well.

Zhou Bai glanced at Jiang Mian again.

What was his ulterior motive? He could have simply had a core team member show Jiang Mian around the company, but instead, he came himself. Jiang Mian didn't think as much as Zhou Bai did. She was considering one very thing: Zhou Bai wanted to show her more than just the surface of the company; he also wanted to show her core secrets. Bringing Rong Fei along wouldn't be appropriate.

If the company were just hers alone, she would trust Rong Fei and wouldn't feel anything about bringing him there. But since the company wasn't just hers, it wouldn't be appropriate to bring Rong Fei along.

"No, no, no, he's just coming with me. He can just sit there and play by himself in a bit. We'll go tour the company." Jiang Mian made arrangements for her beast husband right away.

Zhou Bai did not agree immediately, but looked at Rong Fei to see how he would react.

Rong Fei didn't show much reaction on his face, but simply agreed to Jiang Mian's words: "Then I'll wait for you in the waiting area downstairs."

"Mmm." Jiang Mian smiled.

Rong Fei still gave her a lot of face.

Zhou Bai also spoke up: "I'll have my assistant send some snacks and tea to Mr. Rong Fei later."

"Thank you for your trouble," Rong Fei replied politely.

Jiang Mian then went with Zhou Bai to visit their main company.

“If you want to work here, we can set up a laboratory for you,” Zhou Bai explained as they walked forward. “This is our experimental area.”

Jiang Mian could tell that these experimental areas were very orderly and had a clear division of labor, indicating that Zhou Bai was managing them very well.

I've finished touring the company.

Jiang Mian then thought of Zhou Qing and asked, "Where's your uncle? He didn't go to retire, did he? He's not at the company."

“He goes fishing at the beach every day now.” Zhou Bai frowned almost imperceptibly as he thought of something.

After all, his uncle went off to enjoy his retirement, leaving him with a mountain of work. No one could be happy about that.

“It certainly suits his tastes as an elderly person.” Jiang Mian nodded.

"How about we go fishing together another day?" Zhou Bai thought of something and extended an invitation.

“Sure, anytime is fine, right now is fine too, I’m very free.” Jiang Mian replied with a smile.

"Is it okay now?" Zhou Bai paused, a hint of something else flashing in his dark, moist eyes.

“Sure!” Jiang Mian nodded affirmatively.

Zhou Bai's heart began to pound.

So, at the seaside.

Zhou Bai glanced at Jiang Mian and Rong Fei fishing together, chatting and laughing, and then quietly came to Zhou Qing's side, who was sitting quietly to the side.

"Uncle, I'm here." Zhou Bai's tone was tinged with an inexplicable melancholy.

Unfortunately, he was used to having a blank expression, meaning he was used to having no facial expressions at all. So if Zhou Qing hadn't been familiar with his personality and could detect even a hint of emotion, she wouldn't have been able to tell that he was a little depressed.

Zhou Qing's lower body transformed directly into a jet-black fish tail, while her upper body was dressed in a black shirt. Her jet-black, seaweed-like hair fell to her waist, and her thin, sharp fish fins were also present.

Zhou Bai invited Jiang Mian over, but unexpectedly, Jiang Mian didn't come alone; Rong Fei also came along. It turned out that the plan for the two of them to go fishing together hadn't actually happened.

After Zhou Qing figured it out, he sighed. He really didn't understand young people's love and romance.

"I'm going to retire soon." Zhou Qing smiled gently and waved her hand casually. "You can take care of it yourself."
