Chapter 282: First Generation Core Members! (1/2)
Staring intensely at Bai Xiaofei in front of him, Feng Wuhen’s expression kept changing until after a long silence, he finally uttered, “What makes you think I’ll be persuaded by you? You should know that as long as I want to, I can get a rather high position in Ethereal. “
This question might be difficult to answer to others, but Bai Xiaofei had long expected it.
“You're totally disheartened by the Ethereal Merchant Group, that’s what. Also, you said that you can get a rather high position, not a position deserving of your ability. Creating an existence that can rival Ethereal from scratch will, one day, allow you to hold your head up in front of all those who are unfair to you. This may be an extravagant hope, but I believe that as long as there is a 1% chance of achieving it, you will not hesitate.”
Bai Xiaofei paused a little as a confident smile appeared on his face.
“So, I’ve come, and I believe that you will come with me!”
Feng Wuhen fell silent again, it didn’t last long this time as a smile slowly graced his face. At the same time, he extended his right hand very formally.
“I’ll be in your care, Boss Bai.”
The moment they shook hands, the seed of a commerce empire was planted.
Feng Wuhen was a man of action. Having decided to follow Bai Xiaofei, he packed up all his belongings in the Ethereal Pavilion and left a note to the manager before leaving the store with Bai Xiaofei without saying a word.
From that moment, the Ethereal Pavilion became an opponent and no longer a friend.
Bai Xiaofei's mood was exceptionally good. He hummed a little song all along the way back to the Demon of Illusions, looking proud like a baby who had picked up a treasure.
“Why do I feel like I was abducted?” Walking behind Bai Xiaofei, Feng Wuhen asked with a wry smile. The words were seemingly joking yet contained real feelings.
“It's about the same, and it's very likely that you’ll be sold to me for the rest of your life,” wittily replied Bai Xiaofei as he chuckled and shrugged his shoulders, his posture practically saying ‘So you realize it now? Too late.’
Seeing Bai Xiaofei’s extremely flippant act, Feng Wuhen couldn't help but sigh.
Ah! I may have trusted the wrong person!
But in actuality, his case didn’t count as ‘trusted the wrong person’ yet. The truly pitiful one was waiting right in front.
“Bai Xiaofei!!”
Feng Wuhen and Bai Xiaofei were casually chatting when a furious roar echoed ahead. Feng Wuhen instinctively raised his guard, while Bai Xiaofei revealed a smile of a scheme being successfully executed.
Hehe, that saves the trouble of looking for him.
That’s right, it was Lu Lingyun who wanted Bai Xiaofei to explain!
“Bai Xiaofei, you…”
“Let's talk inside. Our people haven’t all arrived yet,” Bai Xiaofei cut off Lu Lingyun before he could finish. “Let me introduce, this is the former head of the Ethereal Pavilion in Starnet, Feng Wuhen. This is Lu Lingyun, the former manager of the Thousand Aroma Restaurant in Starnet.”
Bai Xiaofei moved aside a little as he walked over, giving off the vibe of a matchmaker as he introduced the two, who instantly detected a kindred soul in distress the moment they set eyes on each other.
“You too?!”
“You too?!”
The two men said in unison, and their sympathy for each other deepened. What they didn’t realize was that what they meant by ‘You too’ wasn’t the same.
“Let's go and talk with him. You can't hurry, the more anxious you are, the more he’ll keep you in suspense.” What Feng Wuhen said was indeed a fact, and it immediately gained Lu Lingyun’s approval.
