Si Mo sensed the approximate location where Qing Zhi had teleported to, gave a soft scoff, and then continued to set up formations in the forest park at a leisurely pace.
He could easily strangle Qing Zhi with one hand. The reason he let her go was that when he observed her past, he saw the bad things she had done to the little fox.
If he had suffered such a major betrayal, he would surely want to kill the betrayer with his own hands.
Judging from the little fox's personality, her thoughts should be pretty much the same as his.
So, it would be better to let the little fox strangle Qing Zhi herself.
He would just keep an eye on Qing Zhi for her to prevent Qing Zhi from harming those around her.
As for that ghost...
Although he didn't know why the ghost was following Qing Zhi, there was a glimmer of meritorious light on the ghost. His intuition told him that the ghost wouldn't pose a threat to the little fox.
Rong Lan had no idea that Si Mo had stayed up all night setting up one formation after another in the forest park.
On Saturday, she held Chu Hengyuan's hand with her right hand and hugged her little Amber with her left hand. The whole family went back to the Bai family for dinner in a proper manner.
The little ragdoll cat, which had been raised to be fearless, only took half an hour after arriving at the Bai family to coax Mrs. Bai into calling it "baby" one after another. Mrs. Bai even personally cooked chicken breast for it.
As for Mr. Chu Hengyuan, who didn't need to take care of the cat, was really bored. He followed Mr. Bai to the back garden to play chess.
Seeing that someone was helping to take care of the cat and Chu Hengyuan had found something to do, Rong Lan immediately pulled Bai Rongran upstairs.
After the two sisters entered the study on the second floor, Rong Lan locked the door behind her, while Bai Rongran walked straight to the sofa in the study and sat down.
"Let's have a little chat." Rong Lan said as she walked to the sofa, stretched herself, and then plopped down on the empty seat next to Bai Rongran.
"I know what you're going to say." Bai Rongran preempted her, "Are you trying to persuade me to work in the Bai Group? I can tell you clearly, it's impossible! I didn't major in that in college, and I don't have any experience in managing a company. I don't want to do things I don't like."
Rong Lan: "..." Her sister Rongran was no longer a love - struck fool, and she was so smart that it was no fun.
This was indeed her intention. After all, if she could persuade Bai Rongran to join the Bai Group, she could continue to grow freely.
The little fox was silent for two seconds. Then, a brilliant idea came to her. "Rongran, don't you want to humiliate Chu Chuan?"
"What does this have to do with humiliating Chu Chuan?" Even though she knew that Rong Lan's words were a trap, Bai Rongran still couldn't help but stand at the edge of the pit, curious to see what kind of trap Rong Lan had dug.
Rong Lan smiled. "I know you must want Chu Chuan to be completely disgraced. When that happens, if you appear in front of him holding some power in the Bai Group and step on him, wouldn't that be really satisfying?"
Bai Rongran imagined the scene Rong Lan had described. She had to admit that Rong Lan was right. Just thinking about it made her feel relieved, and she couldn't help but be tempted.
"By then, Chu Chuan might even put aside all his pride and kneel on the ground begging for your forgiveness. And you can humiliate him however you like, like making him kneel on the ground and bark like a dog, or run around the street in just his underwear." Rong Lan got excited as she spoke.
To make a man like Chu Chuan fall apart, destroying his self - esteem was the way to go.
She couldn't wait to see how embarrassed Chu Chuan would be when he had nothing left.
Bai Rongran was almost convinced by the wonderful scene Rong Lan had described. She took a deep breath and calmed down. "If you went into pyramid - selling, you might become a high - level leader." Rong Lan was so good at persuading people. She just wanted to stand at the edge of the pit and take a look, but she almost fell into the trap Rong Lan had dug.
"Eh?" Rong Lan tilted her head with a smile. Sure enough, her sister Rongran was able to calm down so quickly!
"But I can do all those things as a Bai family daughter. He will kneel and beg for my forgiveness because of my status." Bai Rongran said with absolute certainty.
"It's different. A Bai family daughter who is just a pretty face is different from a Bai family daughter who holds power." Rong Lan continued to dig the trap. Since Bai Rongran hadn't fallen into her trap just now, it must be because the trap wasn't big enough.
She changed her sitting position and sat cross - legged on the sofa, propping one hand on the armrest. "Rongran, you should give it a try. Try the feeling of holding power in your hands. You'll definitely fall in love with it."
"No!" Bai Rongran turned her head and refused.
Rong Lan sighed. "Rongran, you don't even want to try. Are you afraid that you won't do well enough? Or are you afraid that others will say you're not as good as me?"
Bai Rongran was silent. She still thought that Rong Lan was really suitable for pyramid - selling.
"Okay, I get it." Seeing that Bai Rongran didn't respond, Rong Lan knew that she had guessed at least half right. "First, let me tell you a truth you understand. If you propose to work in the Bai Group, Dad will surely do his best to teach you." If she was willing to work in the Bai Group, her parents would be relieved, but if it was Bai Rongran, they would be overjoyed.
"Secondly, I admit that I majored in management and finance in college. But in fact, not much of what we learn in school can be applied in the workplace. When I first joined the Bai Group, I was just a newbie who knew nothing. I was really afraid that I couldn't do anything well with the name of a Bai family daughter, but actually, I did quite well." By the end of her speech, Rong Lan raised her chin proudly.
Bai Rongran twitched the corner of her mouth. She was wrong. She shouldn't have listened to Rong Lan talk so much. She was tempted again.
"It's normal for you to be afraid of not doing well or not being as good as me." No one liked to be compared. Even after living for 500 years, she didn't like it either. Just because Bai Rongran's relationship with her had improved didn't mean that Bai Rongran was willing to live in her shadow. "But think about it. If you don't give it a try, you'll never be able to prove that you're not worse than me."
"What if you're a business genius? Also, besides Dad teaching you, I can also help you to some extent. I can tell you about the detours I took in the Bai Group so that you can avoid them and get started more quickly."
After Rong Lan finished speaking, seeing Bai Rongran's tangled expression, she knew that her trap hadn't been dug in vain. Bai Rongran had already stepped half - way into the trap. With a little more effort, she could make Bai Rongran fall completely.
"Of course! As a responsible person, I must tell you that if you decide to work in the management of the Bai Group, it will be very tiring. You'll have to learn a lot of things, probably more than I did back then." After all, she had grown up in the Bai family and had been influenced by it since childhood. It would be much more tiring for Bai Rongran to start from scratch, but she believed that Bai Rongran could endure it.
Bai Rongran took a deep breath. "If you hadn't said that last part, you might have convinced me."
