OFR – Chapter 253 Entering Shuangyun Tower again

Mu Bai had arrived.

Yes, it was that familiar luxury supercar. Li Xiaoqing had seen it once before, during her job interview.

Now, she was a little nervous, unsure of what to say to Mr. Mu in a moment.

The young man beside her was slightly taken aback when he noticed the nervous delight on her face.

He hadn’t expected that this fairy-like girl could also show such a shy, girlish side.

It made his already restless heart even harder to control.

It also made him all the more curious—who exactly was this person, to make such a beautiful and gentle girl show this kind of reaction?

With that thought in mind, the young man turned around and looked up.

But in just the few seconds after he looked up, the curiosity on his face instantly froze.

The hope that had kindled in his heart was instantly snuffed out.

Because at that moment, he could never have imagined that a Bugatti Veyron—a top-tier luxury supercar he had only ever dared to dream about—would slowly come to a stop right in front of him.

Then the car door opened, and out stepped a young man who looked no older than nineteen or twenty.

Seeing that young man step out, the youth felt a wave of indescribable discomfort and powerlessness crash through his heart.

A Bugatti Veyron, one of the most renowned and breathtakingly expensive supercars in the world—and stepping out of it was someone so young.

“Mr. Mu, thank you so much for coming to pick me up personally. I really appreciate it.”

At that moment, Li Xiaoqing nervously and excitedly said in a soft voice to the young man before her.

As for most of the people near the high-speed rail station exit, their gazes were now all focused here—some shocked, some envious, some filled with jealousy.

After all, not to mention the train station—even at Nanjing’s airports or in front of four- or five-star hotels, this Bugatti Veyron would have been the most eye-catching presence.

So the arrival of such a luxury supercar quickly made it the center of attention.

“It’s nothing. Let’s go. I’ll help you with your luggage.”

Mu Bai spoke calmly under everyone’s gaze.

He wasn’t fazed by the stares—he had long grown used to them.

He walked over, casually picked up Li Xiaoqing’s luggage, chatting with her as he helped load it into the car.

Although the Bugatti Veyron didn’t have much space for luggage—being a supercar—Li Xiaoqing had only brought two pieces, which barely fit in the trunk.

Once everything was packed, Mu Bai got in the car and drove her away from the train station.

As for the young man who had just moments ago fantasized about becoming Li Xiaoqing’s boyfriend, he could now only stare blankly at the supercar vanishing into the distance.

That beautiful fantasy had long been drowned out by the low, rumbling growl of the Bugatti Veyron.

Half an hour later, at 1:00 PM.

Mu Bai brought Li Xiaoqing to Shuangyun Tower, the same restaurant where they had eaten last time.

It was the closest hotel to Xuanwu Zhongshan, and both the service and food were top-notch.

Mu Bai had decided—this would be his go-to place for meals in the future.

Perhaps because the Bugatti Veyron had made such a lasting impression, they had just arrived at the entrance when they were greeted again by the lobby manager who had recommended a fine wine to him last time.

“Good afternoon, sir. Welcome back. It’s a pleasure to serve you again,” the manager said with a respectful and polite smile.

Mu Bai also smiled and nodded. “Hello. I said I’d come again. By the way, the wine you recommended last time was excellent. Please bring us two more glasses later.”

Last time, Mu Bai had ordered a ¥160,000 glass of Johnnie Walker and a ¥280,000 glass of Louis XIII. Even in a quasi-five-star hotel like Shuangyun Tower, these were the top-tier selections.

Except for the wealthiest elites, almost no one could afford them.

Yet with his years of experience, the manager could tell—even among the top tycoons in Nanjing, none of them had ever ordered wines like these so casually.

“Two more glasses?”

Keep in mind, two glasses of Johnnie Walker plus two glasses of Louis XIII totaled nearly one million yuan.

And this was just for enjoyment.

What kind of person could so casually throw around a million yuan like that?

The manager dared not speculate—he simply maintained his respectful demeanor. “Yes, of course, sir. Thank you very much. Please, this way.”

Under the manager’s guidance, Mu Bai and Li Xiaoqing made their way into a private room at Shuangyun Tower.

After sitting down, Mu Bai casually ordered a few of the restaurant’s signature dishes and then began chatting quietly with Li Xiaoqing.

“Xiaoqing, don’t feel embarrassed. Just order whatever you like.”

Mu Bai said gently.

“Mm, thank you, Mr. Mu.”

Li Xiaoqing replied with sincere gratitude.

Honestly, it was her first time being this close to such a young and accomplished boss like Mu Bai, and it was hard for her to keep calm.

But through this short interaction, she realized that this boss was nothing like the arrogant type—he was kind, approachable, and easy to talk to.

As they chatted, her nervousness slowly faded away.

Once she felt more at ease, she asked softly, “By the way, Mr. Mu, Mr. Chen just said I got the job, but he didn’t tell me the details. Would you mind telling me what kind of work I’ll be doing, so I can prepare?”

“Just basic stuff—tidying up, doing some chores, occasionally shipping packages. That’s about it. Nothing complicated.”

Mu Bai replied as he took a sip of the freshly brewed tea brought by the waiter.

Indeed, the only reason he hired a personal assistant was to handle day-to-day domestic matters.

But Li Xiaoqing was clearly surprised. “Wait, Mr. Mu, the job’s really that simple?”

“Yeah. That’s all I’ve got in mind for now. As for the salary—trial period is one month. During that time, I’ll pay you ¥100,000 per month. After the trial, we’ll discuss a long-term arrangement. Also—don’t call me Mr. Mu. We’ll be seeing each other often. Just call me Xiao Mu.”

Upon hearing that, even though Li Xiaoqing had mentally prepared for a high salary, she still hadn’t expected a job this easy to come with such a salary—just for the trial period.

She quickly and respectfully thanked him. “Mm-hmm, okay… thank you, Xiao Mu.”

In her heart, she now knew very clearly—a job this simple, with such a high salary, was something most people in society would fight tooth and nail for.

And the only reason she had it was because of this young man’s favor.

So going forward, as his personal assistant, she could never let him down.

As these thoughts filled her mind, the dishes they had ordered were served one by one.

Meanwhile, the lobby manager entered again, bringing in a few glasses of those priceless fine wines—along with a menu embossed with elegant floral patterns in his hand.
