Jones Ellie was chased by the media from all over the world. As soon as the news of her arrival in Jin City was spread, the city was suddenly filled with journalists from all walks of life. She pursued Su Yan very publicly, and her relationship with Su Yan was reported by the major media outlets.
Whether they were eating, shopping, holding hands, every move they made would appear in the newspapers the next day.
"Foreign women have no shame!" Xiao Ai was fuming as she read the report in the newspaper, she didn't even notice Bai Xue's arrival.
Not until Bai Xue placed some documents in front of her, prompting her to distribute them.
Only then did Xiao Ai hastily stand up, trying to hide the newspaper behind her.
"No need to hide it, their stories are all over the world now, you think I wouldn't know?" Bai Xue said with a laugh.
"CEO Bai, how can you still laugh at this!" If it were her, she would have gone insane by now!
"Why can't I?"
"CEO Bai..." Xiao Ai was speechless for a while, "You're really... strange..."
If CEO Bai didn't love Su Yan, this reaction would be understandable. But the key was, she loved him so much! How could she still be this calm when seeing Su Yan cheating?
"Go do your work, and stop reading these pointless reports." Bai Xue turned to leave.
"Oh, CEO Bai!" Xiao Ai shouted behind her.
Bai Xue stopped.
"You have a visitor in the reception room. He has been waiting there since you were in a meeting earlier." Xiao Ai remembered, she was so distracted by the newspaper that she had forgotten about it.
"A visitor?" Bai Xue didn't remember scheduling any visitors.
"Mayor Gong came unannounced, but given his status, I thought it would be appropriate to let him wait in the meeting room." Xiao Ai thought of Gongze Yu, suddenly feeling that only someone like him was worthy of her CEO Bai.
Xiao Ai had a very good impression of Gongze Yu.

Seeing Bai Xue, Gongze Yu smiled warmly. It was so dazzling that even Bai Xue was a bit starstruck.
"Does Mayor Gong need something?"
Unable to correct her, Gongze Yu gave up, "Hmm."
Bai Xue sat opposite to him, waiting for him to state his purpose.
"Xing Village at the foot of West Mountain is known nationwide as an impoverished village. I want to get rid of this label." Gongze Yu didn't beat around the bush.
"And what does that have to do with me?" Bai Xue raised an eyebrow. Was he asking for donations?
Many mayors tend to call on entrepreneurs in the city to raise money under various pretexts as soon as they take office. Whether the money can reach the populace is another matter altogether.
However, she didn't think Gongze Yu was that kind of person, though he sounded like he was asking for donations.
"I've heard that the Subsidiary of the Bai Group produces medicine and maintains a medicine base." Gongze Yu knew Bai Xue well.
"Hmm."
"The large hillside behind Xing Village is suitable for cultivating medicinal herbs. I want you to invest in a medicinal base there, and I will provide full support."
Bai Xue remained silent for a few seconds, "Alright."
The Bai Group's medicine business was gradually developing. To further expand while ensuring quality, a medicine base was essential. She had evaluated West Mountain previously and it was indeed suitable for medicinal farming. She had sent representatives to negotiate with the locals, but their demands were too high, so she put the plan on hold.
"Thank you." Gongze Yu was extremely pleased by her straightforward response.
"I should be the one thanking you." Bai Xue didn't believe Gongze Yu asked her to invest in the impoverished county solely for his political achievements. She knew many of her activities were known to Gongze Yu, including her previous interest in Xing Village. Therefore, he must have orchestrated this beneficial opportunity.
"It's a mutually beneficial situation," Gongze Yu said with a smile. "By the way, can you spare some time this afternoon?"
