Chapter 14: The Triumph of the Scheming Father

  I have an appointment for a wedding lunch today, so Ill just post one update now ~~

  Time: 1 oclock in the afternoon

  Location: S City Economic Center Zhuoding Building

  Characters: Foolish Father Bai Xijing & Filial "Son" Bai Jingchen

  After lunch, Bai Xijing used the excuse "a good son should know his fathers workplace" to drag out Xiao Jingchen, who was preparing for a nap, and drove all the way to the Zhuoding Building.

  Three high-rise buildings over 40 floors stand in a triangular formation, with corridors made of high-density bulletproof glass connecting the buildings. From the air, the buildings and corridors form an equilateral triangle, which is one of the most stable geometric shapes.

  Zhuoding Building is not the tallest building in S City, but it is absolutely one of the most expensive buildings.

  She had only seen the Great Hall of the Temple as the tallest building, and now she was staring at this magnificent skyscraper with her eyes wide open. Unfortunately, due to her pitiful height and super petite figure, even when she tilted her head back almost parallel to the ground, she still couldnt see the top of the building. Instead, because of her excessive leaning back, she lost her balance a bit and stumbled twice, almost falling over.

  "Dad, are you working here?" Little Jingchen was deeply shocked.

  Bai Xijing couldnt help but curl up the corners of his mouth, bent down to pick up Xiao Jingchen, and stepped on the crystal-like marble steps into the building. The two security guards outside the revolving door stared at him with a look of being possessed by a ghost, watching Bai Xijing enter the building without even greeting him.

  Three beautiful women at the front desk stood up together, bowed and greeted, but when they saw Xiao Jing being held in Bai Xijings arms, their faces changed collectively. Bai Xijing completely ignored the reaction of the beauties, expressionless, and walked past the front desk to take the private elevator.

  Due to Bai Xijings business dealings that may affect social harmony and stability, the security measures in place at his long-term residence are extremely thorough. Iris scans and fingerprint detection are required before taking the elevator directly to the top floor, where Bai Xijings office is located. Except for the wall with the elevator installation, the other three walls are all floor-to-ceiling windows, allowing bright sunlight to pour in and creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. The floor is covered with plush carpets from an unknown country, which feel soft and fluffy underfoot, making no sound at all.

  Given Bai Xi Jings eccentric aesthetic, the entire floor was knocked through, everything, whether its luxurious office desks and chairs, or guest sofas and tea tables, even bookshelves and coat racks, are all pure white, not a single stain, as if entering a world made of snow.

  Xiao Jing didnt have any aesthetic concept, she just thought the room was very big and had good lighting.

  Bai Xi Jing put her on the sofa and sat down beside her, "If youre sleepy, just sleep here, Daddy will keep you company!"

  Xiao Jingchen nodded, and his body tilted to one side before falling directly onto the sofa. Bai Xijing smiled silently, lowered the back of the sofa, then pulled out a thin blanket from the closet to cover Xiao Jingchens body, and also turned up the air conditioners temperature by a bit.

  Before Xiao Jingchen appeared, the company was almost treated as home by Bai Xijing, so let alone a blanket, even a whole set of bedding he had several sets. In order to accompany his son as much as possible and not let the newly descended Xia Guangtou feel lonely, Bai Xijing did not go to work for a whole week. The documents on his desk were not piled up like mountains, but enough to make him suffer. However, looking at Xiao Jingchen who fell into a sweet dream in minutes, Bai Xijing felt it was worth it.

  Bais father often said, "No matter how big work matters are, theyre small things; no matter how small family matters are, theyre big things." In the past, Bai Xijing didnt understand and was always being called a workaholic by his parents and brothers. Now he understands that nothing is more important than his baby son.

  Its really strange to talk about the fate between people. In the past, no matter how many times his parents and elders said it, Bai Xijing still put work first, not for money, fame or benefit, but just for that sense of satisfaction and accomplishment. But now that Xiao Jingyu has appeared, all those satisfactions and accomplishments cant compare to a sweet smile from Little Light Head. Although they dont have any blood relationship, Bai Xijing cant help but put the little monk in his heart and love him dearly, even he himself doesnt know why.

  The elevator door opened with a "ding", and Bai Xijing buried himself in his work, not even lifting his head. To use this special elevator, you must scan your iris and fingerprint, so even though the elevator doesnt distinguish between single and double layers, and can stop at every floor, only a specific few people are qualified to use it.

  "Is he gone?" Bai Xijing asked faintly.

  "Hmm." The elevator door opened to reveal a young man who looked no more than twenty-five or six years old, with a straight figure like a ruler. He had handsome features, bright eyebrows and sparkling eyes, but unfortunately, his facial expression was too stiff, commonly known as "face paralysis".

  The handsome man with a paralyzed face glanced at the little Jingchen sleeping on the sofa, sucking his fingers, without any expression. His eyes paused for a moment and then immediately returned to normal. He walked to one side of the office desk, standing still like a guardian god, gazing forward motionlessly.

  Bai Xijing put the signed documents aside and said in a low voice, "After Dashan comes back, remind him that the inspection task after the New Year will be handed over to him. If he cant complete this years bonus, it will all be confiscated. Next time, Ill send him to Amazon to chop trees."

  "...Is." Bai Jue Shan responded faintly, his eyes without even a hint of fluctuation.

  Bai Xi Jing stopped speaking, and the entire room was filled with only the sound of papers rustling and pens scratching.

  The sun gradually sets, slowly revealing the bleakness and chill of winter. Xiao Jingchen wakes up from a sweet dream, stretches her mouth, only to find that one leg and one hand are outside the quilt, yet she doesnt feel cold at all.

  She sat up, rubbed her sleepy eyes and subconsciously called out, "Dad!"

  "Awake?" Bai Xijing stood up from behind the office desk, stretching his slightly stiff joints. He was only wearing a thin shirt, no way around it, the little ones sleeping posture was really not great, always kicking off the covers. Bai Xijing was afraid she would get cold, so he turned up the air conditioners temperature quite a bit, directly resulting in the silly dad being hot to the point of sweating even with just wearing a thin shirt.

  Bai Xijing sat down on the sofa and placed Xiao Jinglian in his lap, "Have you had a good sleep?"

  Xiao Jing dust nodded and touched her own belly, pouting, "Dad, Im hungry."

  "...Bai Xijing suddenly recalled the table full of vegetarian dishes that filled the monks bellies, and suddenly felt very full. "Dad will take you to have some snacks."

  Xiao Jing dust turned her head and looked at the layered files on the office desk, although she didnt quite understand, but she also knew that Dad was probably very busy, so she shook her head obediently, "No need, Dad told me where to eat snacks, Ill go by myself."

  Originally, Bai Xijing had planned to kidnap his son and show him the world, so he naturally wouldnt oppose her desire for "self-reliance". On the contrary, he felt a kind of sly pleasure and comfort, that sense of accomplishment soaring upwards. He understood better than anyone else that keeping children by your side would prevent them from growing up. Bai Xijing was trying his best to be a good father. After spending a week together, he had basically grasped Xiao Jingchens personality traits and way of thinking. Since she was young, Xiao Jingchen had been influenced by Buddhism, so she was gentle, kind, simple-minded, but her nature made her have a few more violent tendencies besides being gentle, kind and simple-minded.

  Generally speaking, problems that cannot be solved by gentle and kind simplicity, she likes to solve directly with her fists. So, in this week, Bai Xijing urgently revised her "raising son plan". What Xiao Jingchen needs is not a twenty-four filial father who protects her in the greenhouse, but a father who can help her create problems that can be solved with fists when she encounters them.

  Bai Xijing felt more pride than heartache, if his baby stumbled and fell in front of him, he would squat beside him and watch as his son got up by himself, then turn around and grind the bad stone that tripped his son into dust to fill the sea.
