This kind of vintage car is really too outdated, almost embarrassingly so. However, those who dare to drive such a car on the road usually have some background or status, and ordinary people wouldn’t dare to provoke them.

Not to mention, the old principal seems to have a vintage car as well. When he drives it out, who would dare to laugh at him?

“Could it be the old principal’s car?” Wang Haoran suddenly had this thought and immediately used his X-ray vision to check and verify.

“What a coincidence, it really is the old principal, and… Chu Bai is with him!”

No wonder Chu Bai took a leave of absence; he went out with the old principal. Where is the old principal taking Chu Bai in that car? Wang Haoran was a bit curious.

The vintage car and the Cullinan were heading in the same direction. Wang Haoran checked the navigation map and found that this road led to a bunch of factories.

“A factory, it’s going to the jade factory!” Wang Haoran suddenly realized, his mind becoming clear.

Chu Bai, that guy, possesses X-ray vision. Based on Wang Haoran’s extensive reading of online novels, a protagonist with X-ray vision is bound to have a plot involving gambling on stones (a common trope in Chinese novels where characters gamble on uncut stones to find valuable jade).

Although Qingling City doesn’t have a market for gambling on stones, it doesn’t mean there are no raw stones in the entire city. Jade factories usually purchase finished jade, but occasionally they do buy raw stones to cut themselves.

The ice-cold beauty CEO is currently at the jade factory, and the protagonist with X-ray vision is about to arrive on the scene. As long as the protagonist uses his vision to open a few raw stones, it will surely leave the ice-cold beauty CEO astonished.

It’s all a routine, a complete routine.

If Wang Haoran previously thought there was a 90% chance that Tang Bingyun was the female lead, now that probability has risen to 100%. Tang Bingyun is confirmed as the female lead.

“Drive faster, as fast as you can!” Wang Haoran immediately instructed the driver.

Although both are cars, in terms of speed, the Cullinan can leave the vintage car far behind.

X-ray vision, huh? You’re not the only one who has it!

If he doesn’t intercept this, he would be unworthy of the title of the main antagonist.

…

Twenty minutes later, the Cullinan sped to the entrance of the jade factory. At the speed of that vintage car, it would take at least forty minutes to get here. Of course, it might take even longer because Wang Haoran had placed some obstacles along the way…

Zhen Li had already made arrangements, and after Wang Haoran arrived, Tang Bingyun sent her female assistant to bring him into the factory.

On the way.

“President Tang is currently with friends in the workshop and can’t leave for the moment. I’ll take you to the reception area first,” the female assistant said.

“May I ask what President Tang is busy with in the workshop?” Wang Haoran asked with a smile.

The female assistant was of average appearance and rarely interacted with handsome men, but she couldn’t resist such a handsome guy looking at her, even if he seemed to be under twenty. Moreover, this handsome guy arrived in a Cullinan.

Good-looking, wealthy, and friendly in demeanor. Naturally, the female assistant answered all his questions:

“The factory bought a batch of raw stones, and President Tang invited some friends over to have some fun.”

As expected, there are indeed raw stones!

“Can you take me to have a look?”

“Of course,” the female assistant nodded and suddenly changed direction, leading Wang Haoran to the other side. After all, waiting in the workshop is the same as waiting elsewhere. Moreover, when President Tang instructed her to receive guests, she emphasized good hospitality. Since the guest only wanted to see the raw stones, the female assistant naturally complied.

The female assistant led the way, and Wang Haoran followed. The driver acted as a bodyguard behind Wang Haoran. Besides being Wang Haoran’s driver, he was also a bodyguard. Although not a professional one, his strong physique was more than enough to handle one or two ordinary people.

A few minutes later, the three arrived at the workshop. The so-called workshop was a large shed made of aluminum alloy. It looked like a temporary structure, built to store raw stones for people to view.

At this moment, there were about ten people inside the shed, both men and women, young and old. Among them, a young beauty in a black dress stood out like a crane among chickens, drawing everyone’s attention.

Wang Haoran could guess with his toes that she was Tang Bingyun.

The female assistant, of course, couldn’t know what Wang Haoran was thinking. She led Wang Haoran to Tang Bingyun.

As Wang Haoran got closer, he took another look at Tang Bingyun. Her looks and figure were top-notch, scoring a combined 98 points. Xu Muyan only scored 97 points. However, this doesn’t mean Xu Muyan is inferior to Tang Bingyun. It’s just that Xu Muyan is still in school, hasn’t dressed up much, and doesn’t wear makeup. If Xu Muyan dressed up and put on makeup, she could also score 98 points.

Two female leads with 98 points. Wang Haoran couldn’t help but complain. That silly author really went to great lengths for the protagonist’s happiness.

While Wang Haoran was sizing up Tang Bingyun, she also glanced at Wang Haoran. However, the difference was that Tang Bingyun only glanced a few times before quickly looking away. Her attitude was really cold.

Wang Haoran really wanted to say: “I’m a handsome guy with an overwhelming charm, okay? Don’t I deserve a few more glances from you?”

Truly worthy of the ice-cold CEO type, she really doesn’t care about handsome guys.

The female assistant noticed her boss seemed a bit displeased, so she explained:

“President Tang, he said he wanted to see the workshop, so I brought him over.”

“Since he’s here, let it be,” Tang Bingyun responded, then gave Wang Haoran another indifferent glance. She had a natural aversion to rich second-generation heirs. If it were Zhen Li, Tang Bingyun would naturally treat her well. But since it was Zhen Li’s son, Tang Bingyun wouldn’t give him any face.

In Tang Bingyun’s view, she and Zhen Li were peers, so naturally, Zhen Li’s son was a generation below her. As a senior, why should she give face to a junior?

“Hello, Miss Tang,” Wang Haoran greeted first.

“Such lack of manners!” Tang Bingyun coldly reprimanded, then reminded, “I call your mother my sister.”

“Hello, Aunt Tang,” Wang Haoran said with a smile. But in his heart, he wished he could press Tang Bingyun’s proud head to the ground. This little lady seemed to be even younger than Song Zhenyu, probably around 22 or 23 years old. Yet she wanted an 18-year-old boy to call her aunt. That’s just too much.

What’s even more excessive is that Wang Haoran’s actual age is 30. If you really count it, he’s older than Tang Bingyun. Wang Haoran tried to maintain his smile, but secretly he was thinking. Sooner or later, I’ll deal with you! You like taking advantage and making people call you aunt, huh? When the time comes, I’ll make you call me dad!

“Good boy, I’m entertaining my friends now, I’m busy. You wait,” Tang Bingyun coldly said to Wang Haoran.

“Okay, Aunt Tang, you go ahead. I’ll wait for you, but I hope you can finish by five. I have evening self-study, and I’m afraid I’ll be late. Of course, if you can’t finish by five, it’s okay. I’ll come back another day to find you.”

Wang Haoran spoke with a bit of timidity, his words seemingly sincere, his eyes showing innocence. Anyone who saw it would think he was a good, obedient boy.

Even the Cullinan driver was shocked. If he hadn’t witnessed Wang Haoran’s behavior of taking girls to hotels, he might have believed it!

An acting skill at the level of an Oscar-winning actor, terrifying indeed!

Upon hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared on Tang Bingyun’s cold face. It seemed that this rich second-generation heir was a bit different from the ones she usually encountered.

[Ding, the host has changed the perception of one of the female leads, Tang Bingyun, affecting the original plot direction, and gained 100 villain points.]
