When the Bai family was attacked by the three major families, they were the first to abandon them, and immediately after the Bai family's destruction, they pledged allegiance to the three major families.
Now that the three major families have fallen…
They came quite quickly.
Their noses were more sensitive than dogs smelling excrement.
Immediately, Bai Zihe prepared to leave.
As he passed by the crowd, Zhang Tiantian recognized him, "You… you are Bai Zihe?"
With her shout.
Everyone else recognized Bai Zihe and exclaimed in surprise, "Really, it's really Bai Zihe!"
"So he's still alive, I thought he died four years ago!"
"Tsk, he's really lucky to be alive!"
"And he's quite good at surviving, only daring to show up after the three major families were wiped out."
"If he had this kind of patience in gaming, he'd definitely win every match!"
The crowd's surprise, mockery, and taunts…
were endless.
The previous incident involving the three major families had caused a great stir. Governor Chen Zhengnan, to prevent widespread panic in Suhang City, had fully suppressed much of the information.
Therefore, ordinary citizens only knew that the three major families were gone.
As for how they disappeared or who was responsible, they were completely unclear.
Only those in the upper echelons of power knew a little, but they dared not spread it around, as Governor Chen Zhengnan had made it clear.
Bai Zihe paused briefly, "Is something wrong?"
Zhang Tiantian's eyes rolled, and she smiled, "Bai Zihe, are you also looking for a job?"
"That seems to make sense…"
"The boss of the Chamber of Commerce is surnamed Bai, and you are also surnamed Bai."
"So, you want to try to get some favor through kinship, hoping he'll give you a meal, right?"
Give himself a meal?
Bai Zihe smiled, but said nothing.
Zhang Tiantian took his silence as acknowledgment and immediately said, "Bai Zihe, regardless of anything else, we used to work together."
"Although you're a bit pathetic now, a bit poor, and a bit down and out…"
"But don't worry, we still consider you a friend."
As she spoke, she called out to the people behind her, "Don't you all agree?"
Everyone chimed in.
"That's right!"
"Absolutely!"
"Bai Zihe, we won't laugh at you for being poor and powerless!"
"…"
Zhang Tiantian was very pleased.
Then, she continued, "So, there's a banquet tonight, you must attend!"
"We've prepared a big surprise for you!"
This kind of banquet…
Seeing Zhang Tiantian's smooth-talking demeanor, Bai Zihe knew she had no good intentions.
Just as he was about to refuse, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd and immediately agreed, "Okay, tell me, where is the address."
A glint of triumph flashed across Zhang Tiantian's face, "Junyue Hotel, eight o'clock tonight!"
Bai Zihe nodded and left.
In the evening.
Bai Zihe arrived at Junyue Hotel right on time.
In the private room.
Tan Jun, Zhang Tiantian, and other former executives of the Bai family were discussing animatedly, "This Bai's Chamber of Commerce is truly powerful!"
"Putting aside other things, once this Star Building is opened to the public, it will definitely become the most famous architectural complex in Suhang within three days!"
"Why three days, half a day would be enough!"
They were all in high spirits.
Although Bai's Chamber of Commerce had just been established, it acted decisively, and its backer was incredibly formidable. Rumor had it that even Governor Chen Zhengnan gave them face.
Before long, Bai's Chamber of Commerce would grow into a towering tree!
Beneath a big tree, one could find shelter, and their status and wealth would rise accordingly.
"After we start working, we must perform well!"
"For a behemoth like Bai's Chamber of Commerce, the salary and benefits must be excellent!"
"Of course, get rich in a year, buy a car and change houses in two years, and a villa by the sea in three years…"
"Hahahaha…"
Everyone laughed.
As they were laughing.
Zhang Tiantian suddenly changed the subject and said with dissatisfaction, "Speaking of which, when we used to work for the Bai family…"
"It was so stingy, the Bai family was so miserly!"
As she said this, Zhang Tiantian shook her head vigorously.
The implication was obvious.
Tan Jun let out a heavy snort, "Don't mention it."
"What did Bai Zihe take us for?"
"We are both high-achieving graduates who returned from abroad, yet he demoted us to grassroots positions with a salary of 30,000 yuan a month…"
"What can 30,000 yuan do, is it meant to appease a dog?"
In fact, in the expensive city of Suhang, 30,000 yuan a month, while not a lot, was still a very high salary compared to others in similar positions.
However, Tan Jun and Zhang Tiantian considered themselves superior and arrogant.
They felt that this pay grade did not match their status, so they had always harbored resentment towards Bai Zihe.
"That's right!"
Zhang Tiantian chimed in, her tone full of slander towards the Bai family, "The Bai family treated us like livestock, it was abuse, it was humiliation!"
"So…"
A playful expression appeared on Zhang Tiantian's face, "When Bai Zihe arrives later, we must properly greet him!"
"Naturally!"
"For sure!"
The others echoed.
At this moment, Bai Zihe pushed the door open and entered.
