OFR – Chapter 180 ends.

As a child, whether at school or among peers in the village, Mu Bai was always a quiet boy with a low sense of presence.

If not for Mu Xiaoxiao, a stunning beauty who often appeared by his side as an older sister, it was likely that no one would have remembered him.

Though Mu Bai never voiced it, deep down, he regarded Mu Xiaoxiao as his only family, aside from his grandfather.

However, after coming to Nanjing to work, he had rarely kept in touch with her.

On one hand, when he had just arrived, he was overwhelmed with work, often finishing past ten at night, exhausted like a dog, leaving him no energy for conversations.

On the other hand, shortly after Mu Bai dropped out of school, Mu Xiaoxiao was scouted by a talent agent and joined a major media company, leading to her own hectic life.

In the midst of their equally busy lives, their contact naturally dwindled.

Mu Bai had thought that perhaps their once pure bond would fade away over time.

Yet, unexpectedly, even after two or three years of no contact, when he saw Mu Xiaoxiao’s familiar playful messages on QQ, he realized that their relationship had not weakened. Instead, like fine wine, it had only grown richer with time.

This brought an involuntary smile to his lips.

Seeing her message, he chuckled softly and typed back, “Alright, alright, I’ll come to you instead. Where are you?”

Mu Xiaoxiao (playful emoji): “I knew my dear Bai still missed me! I’m in VIP Room 16 at the Royal Club. Come find me, big sis is waiting for you~”

Mu Bai raised an eyebrow and asked, “Hmm? A private room at the Royal Club? Are you with friends?”

After all, the Royal Club was the most exclusive gathering place for the elite in Nanjing, with high-end expenses. It wasn’t a usual spot for just two people to meet.

Mu Xiaoxiao: “Mhm, some old classmates from the village somehow found out I was back in Nanjing and insisted on a reunion. (cute emoji)”

Mu Bai: “Tch, so you didn’t come just to see me? In that case, I’ll skip it. I don’t know them anyway.”

Mu Xiaoxiao (pleading emoji): “Don’t be mad~ I really came out mainly to see you! But since my old classmates invited me so earnestly, I had to stay for a bit. If you really don’t like it, I can leave right now and find you instead.”

Mu Bai thought for a moment before replying, “Forget it, I’ll come to you instead. I don’t have anything important going on today anyway.”

Mu Xiaoxiao (excited emoji): “Yay! I knew my dear Mu Bai was the best! How long till you get here? I haven’t seen you in ages, I miss you so much~”

“I don’t believe that. There are so many handsome guys in the entertainment industry, why would you miss me?”

“Hmph! What do those guys have to do with me? But you’re different—you’re the little brother I’ve been spoiling and raising since childhood. If I don’t miss you, who will I miss?”

“Shut up. You’ve been saying that since we were kids. Aren’t you tired of it?”

“Not at all! I’ll say it for a lifetime! Hehe~”

…

As Mu Bai chatted with Mu Xiaoxiao, time quickly passed, nearly half an hour in a blink.

By then, the five girls in front of him had all finished introducing themselves.

Now, these five beautiful women looked at him with nervous, expectant eyes.

After all, they were currently job-seeking and in need of a well-paying job to support themselves.

This life assistant position was ideal for them.

Especially since being a personal assistant to a young and handsome man was something many women would find appealing.

So, they all hoped to secure the job.

However, at this moment, Mu Bai was frowning in thought.

Although he had been multitasking, the enhanced hearing from his mystical elixir allowed him to clearly catch every detail of their introductions.

He had to admit, in terms of both appearance and inner qualities, these five women were outstanding.

Each one was a top graduate from a prestigious university. In fact, among them, the 26-year-old Bai Xiaoduo even held a master’s degree in Business Administration from Fudan University.

Yet, ironically, they were all so exceptionally talented that Mu Bai felt it would be a waste for them to simply do daily chores like cleaning and mailing packages.

So, he pondered for a moment.

After a brief silence, he picked up the resume of the one who left the best impression—Li Xiaoqing—flipped through it casually, then said lightly, “Alright, I’ve got a general understanding of your backgrounds. Here’s the deal—I have something to take care of right now, so I’ll give you my response in a couple of days.”

“Okay, sure, sir.”

“Alright, we’ll be waiting for your response!”

“Got it, we’ll take our leave now.”

…

The girls, understanding the situation, nodded politely and exited the room.
