The arrival of the Atlas Brown Bear usually only means one thing: he's delivering a personal letter from Bai Yaxin.
-
Bai Yaxin's personal letter is equivalent to a promotion and a raise, so when people see the Atlas Brown Bear coming, they all wonder if they have a chance to receive the letter themselves.
-
Therefore, all eyes are fixed on the Atlas Brown Bear, filled with anticipation.
-
And the Atlas Brown Bear, after standing at the door for a while, found his target individuals and went straight to them.
-
Yes, he walked straight to the bar, to Shui Helin and Cao Canglian.
-
"I assume you are Miss Shui Helin and Miss Cao Canglian?" (Atlas Brown Bear)
-
Although this was their first meeting as a group, the three famous individuals seemed to recognize each other without needing introductions or confirmation.
-
Shui Helin and Cao Canglian's appearances were like shining diamonds wherever they were placed.
-
"So you must be Mr. Atlas Brown Bear." (Shui Helin)
-
Shui Helin slightly bowed to the Atlas Brown Bear, while Cao Canglian followed suit with a cute hello, greeting the Atlas Brown Bear.
-
"Hello, I am here today to deliver a letter for Mr. Bai." (Atlas Brown Bear)
-
As soon as they heard it was a delivery, the other staff members around immediately became excited.
-
"It must be a personal letter!"
-
"I knew it was for them!"
-
"Will we not see them again in the future???"
-
"I didn't expect Mr. Xingye to..."
-
"You fool, Mr. Xingye had a meeting with Mr. Bai before and turned down the opportunity offered by the manager!"
-
"I envy them, I've worked for so many years and never received a personal letter..."
-
...
-
These chaotic voices naturally reached the ears of the four, but none of them paid any heed.
-
They were on a different level from the rest of the staff.
-
"Thank you, Mr. Atlas, for your trouble." (Shui Helin)
-
"Thanks, Mr. Bear!" (Cao Canglian)
-
Neither Shui Helin nor Cao Canglian showed too much happiness upon receiving Bai Yaxin's personal letter, merely expressing their thanks out of politeness.
-
The Atlas Brown Bear was a bit surprised, taken aback, as usually, people receiving the letter would be overjoyed and grateful.
-
These two young women were truly difficult to decipher.
-
"... You're welcome, it's what I should do." (Atlas Brown Bear)
-
Saying so, the Atlas Brown Bear took out two black envelopes from the inside pocket of his jacket.
-
On each envelope, Shui Helin and Cao Canglian's names were handwritten in gold ink.
-
"So please accept your respective letters, and I will take my leave." (Atlas Brown Bear)
-
With minimal social interaction, the Atlas Brown Bear quickly left after completing his task.
-
It seems that the beauty of Shui Helin and Cao Canglian did not work on every man.
-
Another man who was unaffected by their beauty was Xingye Xiang.
-
"Mr. Xingye has also received a letter from Mr. Bai, right?" (Shui Helin)
-
"Yes." (Xingye Xiang)
-
"What was it like at that time?" (Shui Helin)
-
Both of them did not rush to open the letter to read its content but instead, engaged in conversation with Xingye Xiang.
-
"The letter at that time just set up a time and place to meet, then I went." (Xingye Xiang)
-
"After I arrived, he praised me and then asked me to be the manager of the newly opened chain store." (Xingye Xiang)
-
"Why didn't you become the manager?" (Cao Canglian)
-
"Being a manager is too tiring, it's best to be free and relaxed." (Xingye Xiang)
-
Xingye Xiang's tone was quite casual.
-
"Being a manager can earn you a lot of money!" (Cao Canglian)
-
"That's true, but I prefer freedom over money." (Xingye Xiang)
-
"Freedom may not be worth much money, Xingye, you're really silly haha!" (Cao Canglian)
-
"Hey! Don't be rude to Mr. Xingye!" (Shui Helin)
-
As an older sister, Shui Helin timely reprimanded her younger sister, with a low volume but strong impact.
-
"Hmph~" (Cao Canglian)
-
But Cao Canglian remained unfazed, continuing with her own manner.
-
"Everyone has different values, Miss Shui doesn't need to be so polite." (Xingye Xiang)
-
"Thank you, Mr. Xingye, for your understanding. My sister has never been well disciplined, I apologize." (Shui Helin)
-
"...Miss Shui is really too polite~" (Xingye Xiang)
-
After the conversation, Cao Canglian, unable to resist, began to open the letter while Shui Helin, nearby, also opened the envelope, taking out the letter inside.
-
Neither of them minded the presence of others; they simply let Xingye Xiang see the content of the letter inside very casually.
-
Xingye Xiang showed no interest, just observing from a distance.
-
The two quickly read the contents of the letter and exchanged glances.
-
Surprisingly, the contents on their letters, besides the names, turned out to be the same.
-
- April 17th
-
- 6 p.m.
-
- 3-2 Yamacho, Yamato-dori, Higashiyama-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture
-
- Kyomizu Yaushimaneikiseki (Restaurant)
-
- Awaits you
-
Both letters were signed by Bai Yaxin.
-
Which means, Bai Yaxin had arranged to meet Shui Helin and Cao Canglian at the same time and place.
-
Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is worth pondering.
-
"Wow, Kyomizu Yaushimaneikiseki! I've heard about it for so long, a three-star Michelin restaurant! I can go eat delicious food with my sister!" (Cao Canglian)
-
But Cao Canglian, being simple-minded, did not think much and started cheering happily.
-
Meanwhile, Shui Helin seemed to be lost in thought.
-
"What's wrong, any doubts?" (Xingye Xiang)
-
Xingye Xiang collected the already empty glasses of the two women, and politely asked out of concern as a senior.
-
"...No, nothing." (Shui Helin)
-
Shui Helin seemed to want to ask Xingye Xiang something, but in the end, she held back.
-
"Well, we'll take our leave now, Mr. Xingye." (Shui Helin)
-
"Okay, take care on your way." (Xingye Xiang)
-
Thinking that today would end as usual, calm and peaceful after work,
"Additionally..." (Xingye Xiang)
-
But unexpectedly, it stirred up a thousand waves at the end.
-
"Don't let Bai Yaxin catch onto your disguises." (Xingye Xiang)
-
At that moment, Shui Helin and Cao Canglian, who were about to leave, froze in place upon hearing those words, unable to move.
-
After a brief pause, they turned back to look at Xingye Xiang, putting on a calm appearance to suppress the doubts in their hearts.
-
—How did he know about us disguising ourselves???—
