The diagnosis result came out quickly, she was a sudden faint due to excessive grief, but her body was not good before and now it is extremely weak. Her spirit has also been stimulated and needs hospitalization for observation and treatment. Arranging Xin Wei Ping's mother to be hospitalized took up half of the morning. Xiao Bai had treated his injuries in this hospital before and knew several directors and doctors. He tried to get all the procedures done as quickly as possible. Hospitalization requires a deposit, Xin's father did not bring that much money, Xiao Bai comforted him not to worry and paid for it himself.
Xin Weiping's mother suddenly fell ill, and Huang Jing couldn't leave the hospital for a while. Her parents were anxious but helpless. Xiao Bai noticed that Huang Jing needed rest, and Xin Weiping's mother also needed someone to take care of her. He thought for a moment and took the initiative to hire a full-time caregiver to help Xin's father take care of the patient. Among the relatives and friends who came to visit together, there was not only Xiao Bai, but also Bai Shaoliu who could make decisions and help.
There are still some old acquaintances left in the hospital, Huang Jing's classmates don't need to be mentioned, they were also from the same class as Bai Shaoliu. Two old roommates from Xin Weiping University also came. These people had little contact after graduating from university, and if it weren't for Xin Weiping's accident, they wouldn't have had the chance to meet again. During this busy time, whether or not they knew him, everyone had a deep impression of Bai Shaoliu, and under his influence, many people were eager to help, or left their contact information with Huang Jing and Xin's parents, saying that if anything happened, just give them a call.
However, these people are more interested in Bai Shaoliu, and they all find excuses to get close to him, even some of them want to talk business. Bai Shaoliu knows why, the new name card he took out today reads "Assistant President of Heluo Group", and those who don't know his true identity can be intimidated by this title. Unexpectedly, the ordinary Bai Shaoliu in college has become a golden collar or even a nouveau riche in the Wuyou business circle today. These people are not familiar with the Taoist community and have never heard of the name of the number one master of Wuyou, otherwise they would be surprised.
After things were almost done, Xiaobai saw that Huang Jing's expression was already very weak and tired. He said to Huang Jing's parents: "You accompany Huang Jing back home to rest, there are others helping here, don't worry for now." He also said to Huang Jing: "Huang Jing, everything is settled, you should go back home? Don't collapse again and need others to take care of you. Listen to me! Let's go together, I'll drive you back in the car." Xiaobai drove a sedan from the Heluo Group today, not an extremely luxurious car but still considered high-end.
Xiaobai drove to send Huang Jing and her parents back to their residence. Huang Jing's parents were outsiders, while Xin Weiping had not yet bought a house locally, and the rented two-bedroom apartment was simply renovated with average conditions. After sending Huang Jing to rest in the bedroom, Xiaobai was about to bid farewell when Huang Jing's mother stopped him and politely asked: "Xiaobai, my daughter Huang Jing calls you Xiaobai, right?"
"Yes, Auntie can also call me Xiao Bai."
Huang Mu: "You and our Xiaojing are classmates? I've never seen you before, thanks for your help today. Let's thank you properly another day. Can you leave me a contact method?" Huang Jing already knew Xiaobai's phone number, but Huang Mu still asked him to give her his business card separately.
Bai Shaoliu: "Auntie, no need to be polite. Xing Weiping is also my friend. Here's my business card, if you need any help just give me a call." Huang Mu took the card and examined it carefully, then Bai Shaoliu said: "You all rest well too, I won't disturb you anymore."
"Hurry up and lift your head, hold on: 'Don't rush to leave, busy for half a day without lunch, there's nothing at home, I'll make something simple for you to eat, you finish eating before leaving, it's not good to let you go to work on an empty stomach.' Huang father also came out of the bedroom and said: 'Xiaobai, be sure to eat something before leaving, now it's already past noon.'"
What kind of person is Xiao Bai? He can directly sense people's hearts. He found that Huang Mu was very interested in him, and this interest didn't need to be explained for him to guess a thing or two. Xiao Bai helped out at the hospital and took the initiative to do so many things, so naturally Huang Mu thought he was a classmate who had a good impression of her daughter, and was also so young and promising. With Xin Wei's daughter still alive, how could she not thoroughly investigate such a great young man who was delivered right to her doorstep?
Bai Shaofeng now has no such thoughts about Huang Jing, and Huang Jing, who is immersed in sorrow, is also unlikely to have such a mood and idea. Xiao Bai sighed inwardly at the coldness of human relationships, but couldn't blame anyone. From Huang's mother's perspective, she had her own stance and starting point, which couldn't be said to be wrong, and was even very wise. With a clear conscience on the surface, he could only pretend to be confused. Since Huang's parents asked him to stay for dinner, he was indeed hungry. After some thought, he decided to do a good deed from start to finish, stretched out his hand to stop the two of them and said: "You've been tired enough after accompanying Huang Jing in the hospital all night, how about this? I'll go to the restaurant outside to buy some takeout food, let's eat together, and bring dinner out too, so you won't have to bother again today."
After finishing speaking, Huang's parents declined and he went out. Huang's father said to his partner behind the door: "Xiao Jing had such a classmate before, how did we not know? This young man is really good!" Huang's mother also said: "Not only is he good, but he's also excellent, with a good career and a good person, and he's even better to our Xiao Jing. We must have a good chat with him later." Huang's father: "I understand what you mean, are we being too hasty?" Huang's mother glared at him: "Whether or not we're being hasty, we have to make plans for the future. With Xiao Jing in her current state, if we don't worry about it, who will?"
Xiaobai didn't know what Huang's parents said behind his back. He went downstairs to find a restaurant and ordered several delicious home-cooked dishes, which he packed in meal boxes and sent upstairs. Huang's parents washed the cups and plates, refilled them, and invited Xiaobai to eat. However, before they could say two words or even sit down, there was a knock at the door. The knocking was urgent and abrupt, lacking politeness.
Xiao Bai got up from the couch closest to the door and went to open it. The person knocking was a stout middle-aged woman who walked into the living room without greeting, looked around, and asked: "Who are you? Where is Xin Weiping?"
Bai Shaoliu: "I am a classmate of Xin Weiping, and these two are Xin Weiping's parents. Xin Weiping passed away unexpectedly yesterday, we came to help with the aftermath."
The middle-aged woman was startled and stared with wide eyes: "Is he dead? Didn't he die here?"
As soon as Xiao Bai heard this sentence, she guessed who the person was. It must be Xin Weiping's landlord. Her first reaction wasn't sadness over Xin Weiping's death, but fear that someone had died in this room. He replied with a serious face: "You're Xin Weiping's landlord, right? Weiping died from a traffic accident and didn't pass away in this room. What do you want?"
The middle-aged woman felt that her reaction just now was a bit inappropriate, and she made a very regretful expression: "What a pity, is it a car accident? Such a good young man said no and he's gone. I didn't have anything to do with it, I just came to take a look. Xin Weiping has passed away, will you still rent this house?"
The house is rented or not should ask Huang Jing, but Huang Jing in the bedroom just fell asleep, no one can bear to wake her up for this matter. Huang Jing's mother asked Bai Shaoliu in an unusual way, with a probing meaning in her eyes: "Xiao Bai, do you think this house is rented?" Bai was taken aback and looked back at Huang Jing's father, whose expression was also clearly seeking his own opinion.
Bai Shaofeng had no choice but to call out to the landlady: "Sister, sit down! ... When does Wei Ping's rental of your house expire?"
Landlord: "It's not that I'm driving people out, I'm really not that kind of person! ... But Xin Weiping told me last month that he was about to buy a house and wouldn't be renting from next quarter on. My sister's income isn't high either, she just relies on renting out the house to supplement her family expenses, so she's been looking for tenants all this time. Today someone finally called me saying they wanted to rent the house and could move in right away, and the price they offered was even higher."
"Alright, big sister, don't say anything more. I understand. There are still two weeks left in this month and one and a half months until next quarter. I'll pay you an extra month's rent, and I'll definitely move out by the end of next month."
"Alright, alright, let's just do it this way then. Since you're a friend of Xin Weiping, I'll listen to what you have to say."
Bai Shaofeng was about to take out his wallet when Huang's parents stretched out four hands to stop him. Huang's father immediately handed over a month's rent to the landlord, although it was a bit unfair, but since Bai had already said so, Huang didn't say anything more. The landlord took the money and was about to leave when Bai suddenly asked: "Sister, isn't today's date wrong? Even if you're collecting next quarter's rent, shouldn't you come again next month?"
The landlord's face was also a bit embarrassed: "This is an unusual situation! It just so happens that someone called today to rent my house."
After the landlord left, Huang Fu said to Xiaobai: "Your idea is not bad. Weiping had an accident, and it's inevitable that Xiao Jing will be emotional if she continues to live here. It's better to change the environment."
Huang Mu: "My husband and I live in the suburbs, Xiao Jing is now working alone in Wuyue, although it's not far away but also inconvenient to take care of. We are not familiar with the situation here, nor do we know where to rent a house, can you help us, Xiaobai?"
Xiaobai's task today was to proactively manage other people's business. He insisted on helping, even if they didn't want him to, and said very sincerely: "It's already January now, next month is the Lunar New Year. After you've dealt with Weiping's aftermath, you can bring Huang Jing back home for the holiday. When you return from the holiday, you can move directly into a new house. Don't worry, I'll help with this matter and definitely find a better but not too expensive house."
"Hurry up and say: 'That's too thank you! A slightly better, cleaner house is fine, even if the rent is a bit more expensive. My husband and I are not very rich, but we can still make ends meet economically. We only have this one daughter, after all, and don't want her to live too hard.'"
Xiao Bai was extremely busy that day. In the morning, he accompanied Luo Xue to the Luo Yang building, then borrowed a car from Luo Bing and went to the hospital. After lunch at Huang Jing's place, he drove back to the Luo Yang building. On the way, he called Luo Bing: "Boss, you're really ruthless! As soon as someone dies, the lawyer is already waiting at the hospital, and the landlord is driving people out!"
Luō Bīng was surprised on the phone: "No way, I brought the landlord over myself, I didn't arrange for a lawyer to go to the hospital? What lawyer?"
Bai Shaoliu: "It's the lawyer of the other party in the car accident, blocking the hospital and relatives to discuss compensation. It seems not a good Samaritan! Fortunately, I took over the matter and left the phone number of the He Luo Group's legal department, letting Attorney Bi handle this matter... I thought it was your arrangement!"
Luobing: "You take it on and that's fine. If I ask you to help, there must be a reason for me to ask you to go. Don't worry, I'll contact Xiaobi right away."
In the afternoon, I rushed back to Luoyang Building, just in time for Luo Xue's class. Seeing Xiao Bai, she said: "Where did you run off to this morning? This morning, there was another emergency board meeting, which was proposed by my Aunt Ai Si." Luo Xue never spoke at meetings, and she had already gotten used to having Xiao Bai sit beside her in silence. Without Xiao Bai, she really felt a bit uncomfortable.
Gu Ying explained on his behalf: "One of Xiaobai's classmates died in a car accident yesterday, he went to help with the aftermath."
Luo Xue: "Is that so? It's really pitiful! Are you going to help out or not?"
"Yes, and there are some things I need to help his family with, his girlfriend is also my classmate."
Luò xī: "Oh, then I'll try to stay in as much as possible these few days and give you more time."
Bai Shaoliu: "Thank you, Miss Luo."
This time in class, Gu Ying was still talking about the awakening of power. Xiao Bai found that what she said was almost a repetition of the previous lesson, repeatedly demonstrating how to communicate with the power of "fire" and lighting candles only to extinguish them again. Gu Ying was very patient with Luo Xue, it seemed this was an introductory course, and she would continue until Luo Xue had a basic grasp. Xiao Bai also felt a bit anxious for Luo Xue in her heart, hoping that she could learn quickly. At the same time, she thought about how two days later, White Hair would teach her a set of witchcraft entry-level skills, and then she would be able to learn too.
That night, when sending Luo Xue back home and coming out of the Luo Garden, he startled him. He had just walked out of the gate and hadn't gone tens of meters before seeing twelve big men standing in a row on the side of the road, nodding at him: "Hello, Bai Ge!"
Xiao Bai looked around and recognized several of them, all of whom were under Luo Bing's command. He quickly waved his hand and said, "You are all older than me, don't call me White Brother, just call me Xiao Bai!"
Luobing walked out from the side: "You are the number one master of Wuyou, how can you be called Little White? White Brother, White Dove, it doesn't sound good! Brothers call you White Zong, I am Zong Ye and you are White Zong, we both have the word 'Zong' in our names!"
The twelve men changed their tone and asked in unison: "Hello, Director Bai!"
Xiao Bai cried and laughed as he asked: "Boss, why are you making such a big fuss today? Isn't it just to invite me out for a meal?"
Luobing: "You don't understand, if we don't make a big show of it, you won't be able to save face. Although some people say that formalism is bad, it's also very necessary. First, let's go to Xianghai Hotel and have a big feast, then we'll go to Wangbutian and shout for a while. Thanks to you, no one has to pay the bill today, it's all on public funds! We can't let Mr. Luo lose face, we must eat well, drink well, and have fun!"
Bai Shaoliu: "What does this have to do with Mr. Luo again?"
Luobing: "We're spending public funds, it's not saying we're spending the government's money, Mr. Luo is taking out his own wallet to treat us. Just don't worry about it so much, let's go, get in the car!"
Fourteen people got on a medium-sized bus and arrived at the Xianghai Hotel in a majestic manner. The private room had a large round table, and even the plates for serving dishes were larger than those in ordinary restaurants. Fourteen people sat around one round table, yet it was still quite spacious. Luo Bing's subordinates were all from a military background, and they were very generous and open-minded at the dinner table. Xiao Bai, because of his hangover from last time, tried to be careful but still drank a lot, and when he left, he felt a bit dizzy.
After finishing the wine, a group of people like a crowd of stars surrounding the moon, pushed Xiao Bai into the main hall. "Director Bai, watch your step!" "Director Bai, this way!" "Director Bai, please go first!" and other voices were endless in his ears. Even other guests who entered at the same time couldn't help but glance over, wondering what big shot had arrived today? The ladies lined up on both sides of the main hall were quite well-behaved, seeing this formation they all bowed together, facing Xiao Bai's direction and chorusing: "Director Bai, good evening, welcome, wishing you a pleasant night!"
Just then, a gentle breeze blew in, and a young beauty wearing a tight-fitting cheongsam with a high slit walked up to him: "Director Bai, you also have time to take care of my place?" This person was not necessarily younger than Little White, but called herself "little sister". Little White took a look and it was also an acquaintance, one of the eight golden generals under Liu Peifeng's command, Hua Jinguang Hua Meiwen. Only then did he remember that the Manbu Cloud Nightclub was also an enterprise where the Black Dragon Gang had a hand in.
Huā Mó Wú is nominally the manager of this place, but in reality, she's the leader of the Black Dragon Gang who came to supervise. When encountering someone who got drunk and caused trouble or came looking for a fight, she would go forward with a charming smile and a flirtatious glance, often making the opponent dizzy and disoriented. It wasn't just because she was beautiful, but also because she knew the art of seduction, which was much stronger than ordinary thugs! Today, Bai Shaoliu "Boss Bai" didn't come to cause trouble, but to support the scene, and Huā Mó Wú had been waiting in the hall for a long time.
Bai Shaofeng's face was flushed, due to the wine, he puffed out his chest and nodded: "Out with friends for a sit and sing." His words also had a bit of the "White General" demeanor.
Huā Mó Wú: "The best private room has been prepared for Director Bai, please follow me." As she spoke, she took the lead and walked towards the elevator with her arm around Bái Shǎo Liú's arm. With her other hand, she held up a walkie-talkie and said: "Third floor A08, open the door, Director Bai has arrived!" In the elevator, Xiǎo Bái suddenly remembered something that Bái Máo had reminded him of, and asked Huā Mó Wú: "Manager Huā, is Lǐu Lǎo Dà around?"
Hua Mian Wu: "I heard that Bai Zong is coming over to play tonight, he must come to toast you a glass of wine, now there are engagements outside, and he will definitely rush over in a while."
Xiaobai was surrounded by a group of people and arrived at the third floor of Manbu Cloud End, room A08. He had never seen such a large private room before, it was almost as big as a conference room. The circular sofa was arranged on one side, and it could easily seat 30 or 40 people. On the opposite wall was an oversized projection screen, below which was a small stage. On one side of the stage was a bar with high stools and cabinets. What's more interesting is that on the other side of the stage, there was a swing frame hanging from the ceiling, where two people could sit side by side. Xiaobai had never seen a private room in a karaoke hall with a swing before.
Xiao Bai walked into the private room with a bouquet of flowers, and his mind moved: "This is not only a great place to gather and have fun, but also a great place to open a school. In the future, if I teach the Black Dragon Gang's magic, this place is quite suitable!" If the hidden world's high-ranking cultivators knew that Xiao Bai was planning to pass on the ancient, solemn, and sacred cultivation methods in this nightclub suite, they would definitely be outraged! But Xiao Bai didn't know any of this, he just thought so.
