Peerless Little Immortal Doctor-Chapter 875 - 878 Xiao Bai

Yeah!

So how are we supposed to communicate next?

The other party is a global tycoon!

And now he’s at the company entrance… what should I do?

Guo Man’s mind went completely blank; she just couldn’t figure it out.

What should I do?

"President Guo, Lante seems to be leaving!"

Seeing Lante finally move, Xilu screamed out.

"Huh! Where is he going?"

Following Lante’s path, Guo Man and Xilu saw that he was heading for the security booth in the distance.

The security booth of Guo’s Pharmaceutical.

In front of the booth stood two people.

One was Fengzi, the other was Xia Liu…

They saw Xia Liu pulling out a cigarette from his pocket, handing it to Fengzi, and the two were chatting happily.

"Lante is about to reach the security booth."

Xilu reminded her.

"Xilu, let’s do this together and go say hello."

Pulling Xilu along, Guo Man finally found some confidence.

After all, the person in question was a renowned figure on the global wealth rankings.

And also her idol—how could Guo Man not be nervous in this situation?

But just as Guo Man and Xilu prepared to step down the stairs, the scene before them would be seared into their memories forever.

Lante and Xia Liu… actually embraced!

"You brat, you got here so quickly and didn’t even call me to pick you up from the airport."

Looking at the grinning Lante, Xia Liu spoke cheerfully.

"How could I trouble my benefactor to pick me up? I wouldn’t dare, even if I had to walk here."

Hearing Lante’s response, Xilu and Guo Man were utterly stunned.

Lante… didn’t dare let Xia Liu drive to pick him up?

And at the moment, Lante was so… approachable.

Wait a second.

Something seemed to have been overlooked.

Lante didn’t call Xia Liu?

According to the security guards, Lante had been lingering around the company since 4 a.m.

This…

Guo Man was shaking to her core.

How could Xia Liu treat Lante like this?

No, that’s not it!

It’s that Lante didn’t dare trouble Xia Liu!

What kind of history lay behind that single word, "benefactor"?

"Haha, it’s been years since we last met. This time, I’m really indebted to you."

"No trouble at all. Being able to do something for my benefactor—it’s my honor."

Lante’s fluency in Huaxia’s language left Fengzi astonished.

To see someone with a foreign appearance speak Huaxia so well—better than Fengzi himself—was unbelievable.

Fengzi, who wouldn’t lean on walls even when using the restroom, was now leaning in awe of Lante.

"Fengzi, let me introduce you—this is my friend, Xiao Bai, an American."

Xiao Bai was the identity Xia Liu created for Lante.

The story was a bit dramatic.

Xiao Bai had been kidnapped in Africa, but a Huaxia special forces soldier named Tank inadvertently rescued him, and they became friends.

During their time on the vast African plains, lasting several days and nights, Tank took care of Xiao Bai. freewёbnoνel.com

After returning to America, Xiao Bai wanted to repay Tank, but Tank refused.

Before Tank returned to Huaxia, Xiao Bai forced his phone number into Tank’s hands and said, "In the future, no matter what the matter is, as long as money can solve it, just call this number."

"Xiao Bai, hello. You can just call me Fengzi; I’m Brother Xia Liu’s backup little brother."

Fengzi casually extended his hand.

After all, he had spoken with Guo Man before, so why would he feel pressured by a suit-clad Xiao Bai?

"Hello, hello."

Lante had seen it all. His age alone was intimidating, and he could see right through Xia Liu’s intentions.

The beautiful woman stepping down the stairs must be Guo Man, the one Xia Liu had mentioned earlier.

So he played along with the act Xia Liu set up for Guo Man.

"Here, Brother Xiao Bai, have a cigarette. It’s a cheap one, so please forgive me."

Fengzi courteously pulled out a pack of cigarettes that cost just a few bucks and handed it to Lante.

Lante, too, was a contender for Best Actor.

He took the cigarette, lit it, and after puffing out smoke, laughed, "Haha, as far as I’m concerned, any cigarette that produces smoke is a good cigarette."

"Hahaha, you’re still the same. Remember when we were trapped on the plains, using dry grass and notebook paper to roll makeshift cigarettes to smoke? Those were the days!"

"Benefactor, of course I remember. Those were the most unforgettable, uninhibited days of my life—carefree and exhilarating."

Lante’s cooperation was flawless.

These scenes were fictitious, but if Xia Liu said they happened, Lante would act as if they did.

His only task was to play along.

…

Watching the three men cheerfully chatting ahead, Guo Man and Xilu were completely dumbfounded.

Was this really the Lante they idolized?

"President Guo, it seems like Mr. Xia’s relationship with Lante is very special."

Initially, Xilu thought Lante had gone to ask Xia Liu for directions.

But clearly, this was no request for directions.

Lante had specifically come to find Xia Liu!

And he’d even been standing outside the company for hours.

A globally renowned billionaire waiting for a bodyguard.

If this news got out, it would undoubtedly make the front page of the Global Times.

And Xia Liu would gain instant fame.

Being the man whom the richest person in the world waited for, he couldn’t avoid the spotlight even if he tried.

"Xilu, come with me to take a look."

Guo Man had no idea what else to say. Lante actually came looking for Xia Liu.

Listening to their conversations and past stories…

As it turned out, Lante really was that American friend of Xia Liu’s!

This was utterly insane.

Guo Man’s body and soul were trembling.

Xia Liu hadn’t been joking.

Everything he said was true.

And to think she had scolded him before!

When she thought about it, Guo Man just wanted to hide under a blanket and disappear completely.

But alas, what was done was done; spilled water can’t be retrieved.

Though she felt deeply awkward, Guo Man still walked over.

Because this was about the outcome of a bet.

Before returning to Huaxia, Guo Man had made a bet with Guo Fanghua.

If managing the company didn’t improve anything, she’d have to go practice cultivation.

To prove that ordinary people without cultivation could still live a flawless life, Guo Man had accepted the bet.

If she could land a collaboration with Lante, she might just win this bet.

For her dreams. For her life. For her principles. She’d give it her all!

With gritted teeth, Guo Man stepped up to Lante and Xia Liu.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lante?"

Guo Man asked in a fragile voice.

"President Guo, is this the Lante you mentioned this morning?"

Suddenly, Xia Liu acted as if he didn’t know anything.

"And who might this be?"

Lante showed little interest in Guo Man, giving her a brief glance before turning his attention back to Xia Liu.

"Xiao Bai, let me introduce you. This is Guo Man, the president of Guo’s Pharmaceutical, and also my boss."

Xia Liu patted Lante’s shoulder and cheerfully made introductions.

"President Guo, pleased to meet you. You can call me Xiao Bai—it’s because my skin is very pale."

"Hahaha! Xiao Bai, I think you might have some kind of leukemia. You’d better check that out at a hospital. If you get any paler, even your flesh and blood will turn white!"

Hearing Lante’s introduction, Xia Liu couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

This scene left both Xilu and Guo Man utterly stressed.

Xia Liu clearly didn’t realize what kind of figure he was dealing with…
