Translator: Inschain Editor: Inschain
The day after Lin Xiaohuang, Chairman of Phoenix Group, and Liang Xingchen, Chief Financial Officer, set off for Azure Bay, General Manager Xun Bailiang secretly met with a young man at his private club.
The young man looked sophisticated, sporting a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
“Generally, we don’t meet with clients face-to-face, so I’ve made some simple alterations to my appearance. 1 hope Mr. Xun won’t mind,” the young man said courteously.
“I don’t need to know what you look like. I just want to confirm your professionalism in person. After all, I’m entrusting you with 20 million. I believe I have that right.”
“Of course,” the young man said, smiling politely. “Up to this point, our team has taken on 56 projects without a single failure. So, I can confidently say that our ‘accidents’ never have accidents.”
Xun Bailiang gave a noncommittal smile. “Tell me about your plan, then.”
“Alright,” the young man said, pulling out a tablet from his backpack and operating it as he spoke. “In response to your request, we’ve developed three different plans based on your timeline and itinerary. After much deliberation, we’ve decided to go with the simplest one. You know, ‘Simple is the best.’”
“Let me show you our Al simulation.”
He continued, handing the tablet to Xun Bailiang and pressing “play”.
The screen came alive with an animation.
A Mercedes car drove smoothly on the road until it came across a car and a van that had rear-ended each other, blocking its way.
The Mercedes was forced to divert onto a different road.
At the intersection ahead on this new road, a forklift was out of control, having ejected its driver and veered into the middle of the road.
Now, the car had two choices: collide head-on with the oncoming forklift or swerve dangerously into the opposite lane.
Given the speed and distance, slamming the brakes wouldn’t help much.
The simulation first demonstrated the catastrophic outcome of a head-on collision.
“The first instinct would be to swerve,” Xun Bailiang objected.
The young man smiled faintly and replied, “Please, continue watching.”
The animation resumed, showing the car choosing to swerve.
It could only crash head-on into a speeding truck.
Xun Bailiang’s eyes flickered with surprise but he quickly regained his composure. “How accurate is this simulation?”
The young man grinned confidently, “This is the result of hundreds of thousands of simulated calculations by our Al, with an error margin of less than 0.0001%.”
“Let’s hope you’re right,” Xun Bailiang said, preparing to wrap up the meeting. “I will wire half of the initial payment to your designated account. The remaining balance will be paid once everything is settled.”
“Excellent, looking forward to working with you,” the young man said.
The young man got up to leave.
After the young man left, Xun Bailiang picked up his phone and opened a photo of Lin Xiaohuang.
She stood elegantly in the middle of a stage, her beauty captivating and her posture refined.
He recalled a song about Lin Xiaohuang that had been sung by a bold man when he attended a private party with others.
“She’s such a beautiful girl, with two perky breasts, and I feel like reaching up to touch them, and my heart starts racing…”
Breathing heavily, Xun Bailiang leaned down to kiss the image on the phone screen and even licked it briefly.
“I know you’re plotting against me,” he whispered bitterly, staring at Lin
Xiaohuang’s photo. “You’ve left me no choice.”
After a moment, a knock came at the door. Xun Bailiang’s face lit up as he went to answer it.
Standing outside was a young woman wearing a red dress, resembling Lin Xiaohuang to some extent.
“Ms. Lin, you’ve arrived,” Xun Bailiang greeted respectfully.
“Yeah.” The young woman mimicked Lin Xiaohuang’s mannerisms and entered the room.
Xun Bailiang closed the door, his face alight with anticipation.
Whatever interactions took place in the room afterward were best left unspoken;
Even if some details were revealed, they would hardly capture the full picture.
“Tell me, what’s your name?”
“I am Lin Xiaohuang.”
“What is your name?”
“I… am Lin Xiao… Xiaohuang.”
The scene shifted to Monday.
Lin Xiaohuang and Wen Zhengxing met at Tuning One. The two had a pleasant chat and enjoyed lunch together.
In the afternoon, they formally signed an agreement.
This marked the Phoenix Group’s official entry into the New Energy sector.
In the evening, Funing One was hosting an ancient-style fashion show. Zhao Chunjia cordially invited Wen Zhengxing to watch.
Models dressed in Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, and Ming Dynasty attire gracefully made their entrance. With delicate makeup and flowing garments, they moved to the soft notes of traditional Chinese music, presenting an elegant and historical show for the esteemed guests.
After the unique fashion show, these VIP guests could invite the traditionally dressed beauties to have a drink, chat, sing, or delve deeper into Chinese traditional culture.
Lin Xiaohuang left Liang Xingchen to watch the show while she returned to the hotel to be with her daughter.
The next day, she had planned to spend a day at Disney with her daughter, so she had to rest and recharge for the night.
On Tuesday morning,
After breakfast, around 10:30 am, the driver and bodyguard, Tan Tuhu, who had traveled with Lin Xiaohuang from Cloud City to Azure Bay, parked the car under the hotel.
After picking up Lin Xiaohuang, her daughter, and their nanny, they set off for Disney.
The morning rush was over, so there was no need to worry about heavy traffic.
The journey took less than an hour and a half, and they were near Disney.
Initially, they planned to enter through the East entrance, but a fender-bender blocked their path. They had to change routes and enter the Disney parking lot from a different entrance.
However, not long after Tan Tuhu switched routes, an accident occurred.
An unmanned forklift was swaying toward them.
Tan Tuhu was about to hit the brakes and swerve left to change lanes when he saw a swift white figure rush toward the forklift and timely move it aside.
Reacting swiftly, Tan Tuhu abandoned changing lanes, continued to brake, and drove to the left.
Clatter!
Squeak!
Hiss!
Buzz!
The screeching of brakes, the scraping of wheels on the ground, the crunching of the car body and forklift, and the howling of a truck…
Several sounds almost simultaneously filled the air.
Luckily, Tan Tuhu eventually brought the car to a stop.
“Go and check it out,” Lin Xiaohuang, who had protected his daughter, calmly instructed Tan Tuhu.
“Yes.”
Tan Tuhu got out of the car and walked over to the forklift, where he saw a handsome young man jumping down from it and making a phone call to report the incident.
It was none other than Qian Quan, who had just passed by.
“Is this forklift yours?”
After Qian Quan hung up, Tan Tuhu asked.
ii
No, the driver is over there. It seems there was an operational mistake during work, and he got thrown off. Are you guys okay?” Qian Quan inquired.
“We’re fine. Were you passing by?”
“Yes,” Qian Quan nodded. “I’ve already called the police. They will be here soon to assess the situation.”
Just then, Ding Linlang ran over, her face filled with terror and relief. She was almost in tears, “Are you okay? You scared me to death!”
Qian Quan patted her shoulder, “I’m fine.”
Tan Tuhu glanced at Ding Linlang, then turned back to Qian Quan, “May 1 ask your name?”
“My name is Qian Quan.”
“Are you a local or a tourist?”
“We study in Azure Bay.”
“Which university?”
“I’m at Seacoast Normal University, and she’s at Fudan University.”
“Alright,” said Tan Tuhu, even giving a slight bow to Qian Quan. “Thank you.”
“No need. It’s okay,” Qian Quan hastily said, dismissing the formalities.
Shortly after, the police arrived.
Qian Quan repeated the circumstances to the police and then left with Ding Linlang.
The following matters, such as gathering evidence, checking surveillance, fines, and compensation, were settled by themselves.
Tan Tuhu returned to the car and relayed everything he had learned to Lin Xiaohuang.
While comforting her daughter, Lin Xiaohuang asked Tan Tuhu, “Do you think it was a coincidence?”
“Do you mean Qian Quan?”
“No, I mean the forklift.”
Tan Tuhu paused.
“Wasn’t there also a truck that passed by us?” Lin Xiaohuang’s expression was as cold as the dark side of the moon.
Tan Tuhu’s face turned pale.
“I’ve already called Mr. Zhao to arrange a car to pick us up. When we get back, I’ll ask him to help investigate,” Lin Xiaohuang continued.
“Alright,” Tan Tuhu nodded, his expression somber. “What about the college student, Qian Quan?”
Lin Xiaohuang’s tone softened, “He’s the savior of us all. I’ll have to think carefully about how to repay him.”
“Understood,” Tan Tuhu nodded gravely.
Approximately an hour later, a Range Rover arrived.
Zhao Chunjia came in person.
ii
Is everyone okay?”
Zhao Chunjia asked as he got out of the car.
“We’re fine,” Lin Xiaohuang’s face lightened up with a smile, “thanks to a college student named Qian Quan.”
“Qian Quan? Do you mean Qian Quan?” Zhao Chunjia’s expression suddenly became animated..
