LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 33: Jade Factory
The vintage car was outdated. It was so outdated that one who drove it would be a laughing stock.
That said, those who could drive such a car on the road would by no means have a simple identity or background. How could anyone dare to provoke them?
Not to mention, the Old Principal seems to have a vintage car too.
When the Old Principal drove his vintage car out, no one dared to mock him.
"Is it Old Principal's car?"
When it occurred to Wang Haoran, he used his X-ray vision ability to take a peek.
"Oh, it’s him... and there’s also Chu Bai with him!"
No wonder Chu Bai requested a leave of absence, it must be because he wanted to go along with the Old Principal.
Where did the Old Principal plan to take Chu Bai in his car?
Wang Haoran was somewhat curious of that.
The Old Principal's car and Cullinan were both heading in the same direction.
Wang Haoran checked the map. The road they were heading to would only lead them to factories.
"Factory, they must be heading to the Jade factory!"
Wang Haoran was immediately enlightened and everything became clear to him.
Chu Bai had the X-ray vision ability.
Wang Haoran who had avidly read many web novels was certain that Protagonists with X-ray vision ability to have a plot where he would be gambling on stones.
Although there was no market for gambling stones in Qingling City, this didn’t mean there weren’t any stones that could be gambled in all of Qingling City.
The goods generally would be bought from the Jade factory. One could buy ready-made jade, and rarely would one purchase the stone and try opening them.
Although there were only few who would do that, it didn’t mean they were none.
The Protagonist with X-ray vision ability was now heading to the Jade factory of the Ice-cold Lady CEO.
As long as the Protagonist with X-ray vision ability successfully got his hands on the jade stones and begin to make fortune, the Ice-cold Lady CEO would certainly be interested in him.
The events that would follow after would be cliché.
Previously, if Wang Haoran felt Tang Bingyun had 90% chance of being the heroine, it now rose to 100%.
He was damn sure that Tang Bingyun was one of the heroines.
"Hurry up! Drive as fast as you can!" Wang Haoran immediately instructed the driver.
Although both were cars, from speed alone, Cullinan could throw off the vintage car several hundreds of streets behind.
Does he think only he has X-ray vision ability?
He must be reckless if he did.
If Wang Haoran failed to intercept him, he’d be ashamed to call himself a villain.
***
Twenty minutes later, Cullinan sped to the entrance of the Jade factory.
Estimating the speed of the vintage car, it would take at least another forty minutes for it to get there.
Of course, it could take longer.
It was because on his way there, Wang Haoran had placed some nails on the road...
Zhen Li called Tang Bingyun informing of Wang Haoran’s arrival. Tang Bingyun then sent her assistant to lead him into the factory.
On the way to the Factory.
"CEO Tang is now with her friends at the factory plant and can't leave for the time being. I'll take you to the reception room first." The female assistant said.
"If I may ask, why’s CEO Tang so busy at the factory plant?" Wang Haoran asked with a smile.
The female assistant had mediocre looks. Though she had already come in touch with quite a few handsome men, she could hardly resist Wang Haoran who was less than twenty, when he looked at her.
Moreover, this handsome man had arrived in the Cullinan.
Not only was he handsome, and wealthy, he even had friendly attitude towards her.
So, it was natural for the assistant to answer him.
"The factory had just bought a new batch of jade stones. CEO Tang has invited her friends over for a little fun."
As expected, there were indeed jade stones here!
"Can you take me to have a look?"
"Sure." The female assistant nodded her head and changed her route taking Wang Haoran to the other side.
It didn’t matter whether they waited in the reception room or the factory plant. It didn’t change the fact that they would have to wait anyway.
Besides, CEO Tang had instructed her beforehand to take good care of the guest when she sent her to pick him up.
When Wang Haoran said he only wanted to have a look at the jade stones, naturally, the female assistant complied.
While the female assistant led the way in front, Wang Haoran followed right after her.
The driver guarded Wang Haoran from behind.
Not only was he Wang Haoran’s driver, he was also his bodyguard. Although he was far from being a professional, he had a sturdy physique and would have no problem dealing with at least one or two ordinary people.
It took them a few minutes to finally arrive at the factory plant.
The so-called factory plant was a large shed built with aluminium alloy.
This shed seemed like a temporary construction just made for people to take a look at the jade stones.
There were about ten people in the shed at this moment both men and women old and young.
A young beauty dressed in a long black dress stood out among them like a crane in a flock of chicken.
Wang Haoran could guess with his toes that she was Tang Bingyun.
Of course, the female assistant didn’t know what was on Wang Haoran's mind and guided Wang Haoran to the front of Tang Bingyun.
When Wang Haoran came close to Tang Bingyun, he once again began to size her up.
Her charm and stature were the best he had come across till far. He gave her a score of 98 points.
In contrast, he gave Xu Muyan a score of 97 points.
This by no means meant that Xu Muyan was slightly inferior to Tang Bingyun.
Xu Muyan was still attending her school. She doesn’t wear fashionable clothes, and doesn’t put on makeup.
If at all Xu Muyan could put on makeup and decorate herself, she also would have scored 98 points.
Both of these heroines could score 98 points.
Wang Haoran could not help himself from ridiculing the author.
For the sake of satisfying the Protagonist, the stone-hearted author had taken painstaking efforts, huh.
When Wang Haoran sized Tang Bingyun up, she in turn also sized him up.
The only difference between them was that after Tang Bingyun shot a glance at him, she retraced her gaze.
Well, she had this indifferent temperament.
Wang Haoran wanted to complain badly. He was also a handsome man with an off the charts charm points, right? Wasn’t he worth a few more glances?
She deserved to be an Ice-cold Lady CEO. Her disdain for handsome men was simply beneath contempt.
The female assistant seeing her boss looking somewhat displeased, explained:
"CEO Tang, he said he wanted to take a look at the factory, so I’ve brought him here."
"I’ll come when I’m done here, forget it." Tang Bingyun replied, and coldly glanced at Wang Haoran.
She had a strong dislike to wealthy young masters.
If it was Zhen Li who had come looking for her, Tang Bingyun would naturally receive her well.
However, if it was Zhen Li's son who had come looking for her, Tang Bingyun would not be that humble.
In Tang Bingyun's opinion, she and Zhen Li were of the same generation. And naturally her son was a generation shorter than her.
As an older generation, would she have to be that humble with the young generation?
"Good afternoon, Miss Tang." Wang Haoran was the one to greet first.
"You don't understand courtesies, do you?" Tang Bingyun coldly snorted and reprimanded. She then reminded:
"Your mother and I call each other sisters."
"Good afternoon, Auntie Tang." Wang Haoran once again greeted with a smile.
But deep down, he had an urge to press Tang Bingyun's haughty head to the ground.
This woman seemingly about 22 or 23 years old was even a little younger than Song Zhenyu, dared to let him, an 18-year-old boy, call her aunt?
She went too far already.
Wang Haoran was a 30 years old man and when one sees it that way, he was much older than Tang Bingyun.
Smile didn’t leave Wang Haoran’s face, but he inwardly thought to himself:
‘I, your father, will sooner or later put you back in place!’
‘You love being called auntie, right?’
‘Wait. When the time comes, I'll make you call me daddy!’
"Good boy, I'm busy entertaining my friends now. Wait for me here." Tang Bingyun said coldly to Wang Haoran.
"It’s alright. Auntie Tang is so busy after all. I'll keep waiting for you. I hope Auntie Tang is done before 5 o’ clock. I have to attend study sessions in the evening, and I'm afraid of being late."
"Of course, if Auntie Tang isn’t done before 5 o'clock, that's fine too, I'll come back looking for you some other day."
Wang Haoran spoke in a somewhat nervous tone. He seemed to have said those words from the bottom of his heart, and his eyes showed innocence.
Anyone who would see him now would feel that he’s an honest and upright boy.
His driver however was stunned.
If he hadn’t seen how Wang Haoran had taken his classmate to the hotel, he would’ve believed it!
Movie-Level Acting Skills were truly terrifying!
Hearing this, Tang Bingyun's cold face changed into one of astonishment.
Seemingly, there’s more to this wealthy second-generation kid than what meets the eyes.
[Ding! Host succeeded in changing Tang Bingyun, one of the heroines’ impression of the Host, thereby affecting the original plot, rewarding 100 villain points.]
