Chapter 266 An Extraordinary Gift
When Bai Li returned home, only A He and his men came to greet her.
Jingye's car was not in the garage, and the pair of shiny Oxford shoes had also disappeared from the entrance hall, so it seemed he had gone out.
A gilded grandfather clock hangs on the wall of the living room, the subtle sound of gears meshing being particularly clear in the quiet space.
—Noon.
The house is quiet, and the other NPCs don't wander around outside of working hours.
Ahe quickly stepped forward, carrying a specially made bamboo incense burner, and perfumed Bai Li with it.
Miss went to a special place today; this incense will help dispel any bad luck.
Bai Li let the incense swirl around her and suddenly found the behavior of these NPCs quite interesting.
They're actually quite superstitious, or are these programs engraved in their code?
She didn't really care.
If the world you live in were a novel, then, according to the genre of novels, only one element would appear.
With the Godly Rich System already out, it's unlikely that supernatural elements will appear again, otherwise the bookstore wouldn't know how to categorize its content!
Although Shirai was fearless, she did not stop A-He from doing so, and handed the black trench coat, which was stained with sandalwood, to A-He to deal with.
This black trench coat was specially made for today, and I'm unlikely to wear it again.
Ahe deftly folded and packed away his trench coat, then followed behind Bai Li and asked softly, "Miss, would you like to have your meal now?"
The young lady returned at just the right time; lunch was already prepared.
"The kitchen has prepared black truffle risotto and sous-vide steak to your liking."
Bai Li untied the black silk scarf around her neck, revealing her collarbone faintly in the soft light.
After a moment's thought, she waved her hand and said, "In half an hour."
She had more important things to deal with.
Ahe nodded slightly, then stepped back and relayed the news to his colleagues in the kitchen.
The kitchen will keep the food at the most suitable temperature according to Bai Li's needs.
Back in her room, Bai Li pulled out the leather bag she had kept deep inside the safe.
On the inside cover of the bag was a message from Zhou Chengjing, his elegant handwriting leaping off the page: "A gift for my younger sister."
She had already torn open the seal herself.
She had already carefully read the documents in the package.
Knowing how valuable this document was, Bai Li carefully took it out.
The title on the red-headed cover of the document was particularly eye-catching.
— Implementation Plan for Pilot Work on Compliance Reform in the Medical Industry
The gold-embossed official seal of the ministry gleamed coldly under the light, exuding an unquestionable authority.
Even though she already knew the contents, Bai Li still read the document again to make a final confirmation.
This document is just a draft proposal.
This draft may seem ordinary, but it actually contains hidden secrets.
The preceding content details the specific implementation methods of the plan; the last page is the key part.
The last page contains the list of participants.
And her name was prominently listed:
—?? "Participant: Shirai"??
She stared at the words for a long time without moving.
Once she signs and agrees, she can become one of the participants in this reform and even get a share of the future policy benefits.
Zhou Chengjing's intentions were self-evident.
This is a gift, but not an ordinary gift; it is an invitation from Zhou Chengjing.
He handed her a key—a key to a higher level of power.
Once she signs her name, Bai Li will be able to enter the core circle of this reform, and with such a background, it will not be a problem for her to "rise rapidly" in the future.
However, Zhou Chengjing did not force Bai Li to join. He cleverly handed the choice to Bai Li, showing both sincerity and respect.
Previously, Bai Li's attitude had always been to "put it on the shelf".
She had already safely stored the document in a safe, pretending she hadn't seen it.
Before today, she still had little interest in vying for power.
But after attending Luo Nan's mother's funeral, the scales in Bai Li's heart began to slowly tip.
Now, she has accumulated a certain amount of wealth, but sometimes, money alone does not seem to be enough to protect the people she wants to protect.
She suddenly realized how much she resembled Luo.
In a short period of time, Luo's family seized the pharmaceutical market and made a fortune, which inadvertently brought disaster upon them.
It turns out that there really are hidden interest groups in this world.
Bai Li truly came into contact with the intricate network of powerful figures and the gray organizations lurking beneath the surface.
Although the case against the Luo family has ended, they have also caught the "big fish" underwater.
But is everything really peaceful now?
Doesn't the danger underwater still exist?
Bai Li still doesn't know what to do with the "underground" organization member that Ah Hu caught.
The rise and fall of Roche Pharmaceuticals is like a mirror, clearly reflecting the pear's true nature.
His own entertainment business is even more high-profile than Locke's.
In just two years, her company has become a leader in the industry, making various innovations that defy industry traditions and setting new industry records one after another.
From live streaming to the music industry, the film and television industry, and now the talent shows, which one isn't trying to innovate and break industry conventions?
Although things seem calm on the surface and there are no forces openly opposing us, who knows how many eyes are watching from the shadows?
Bai Li couldn't guarantee that someone might be lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
That is to say, with cheat codes such as the Godly Rich System and the Wheel of Fortune, Bai Li has been able to remain standing to this day.
At this moment, any other ordinary person would probably be targeted and attacked to an unknown extent.
Bai Li took a deep breath and slowly closed her eyes.
Various memories flashed through my mind.
That little girl who was once all alone, unknowingly found herself followed by so many people.
Her company, her employees, her NPCs, her friends, and her bonds...
She didn't want to become the next Luo.
She didn't want everything she cherished to be easily crushed one day.
She didn't want to one day find herself like Luo Nan, standing before a cold tombstone, feeling powerless even to be angry.
She needs a weapon.
And power is the sharpest weapon.
……
When Bai Li opened her eyes again, her gaze had become resolute.
Her fingertips gently traced the signature bar on the document.
I already have the answer in my heart.
Some paths are not a matter of whether you want to walk them or not, but rather a matter of having to walk them firmly.
She even suspected that Zhou Chengjing might have already seen through something, which was why he sent this meaningful "gift" at this particular time.
