Chapter 1677: Chapter 1379: Gold Medal Headhunter Pays a Visit

The dinner at the Jonas Family’s house was a delight for both the host and the guests.

However, amidst the laughter, Mr. and Mrs. Jonas couldn’t help but frequently glance at their nephew Lai Yin.

They had never seen Lai Yin be so enthusiastic towards someone; he even took the initiative to clink glasses with Bai Xiaosheng, pour drinks, and engage in conversation!

Unbelievable! Is this really Lai Yin!

Mr. and Mrs. Jonas exchanged a surprised glance with each other.

It seemed that Lai Yin might have been “won over” by Bai Xiaosheng.

Otherwise, how could someone as proud as Lai Yin act this way?

But from beginning to end, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t show him much, except for the tales the couple relayed about last night’s event, and Lin Weiwei, Bai Xiaosheng’s associate, recounting some of Bai Xiaosheng’s remarkable experiences.

Is that enough to impress Lai Yin?

Mrs. Jonas had recently become fascinated with Eastern online novels, even watching them with her husband. They both wondered how those Eastern online authors could be so talented, creating one fantastical world after another, leaving people in awe. Those protagonists were endlessly incredible! Although Bai Xiaosheng’s experiences sounded unbelievable, no matter how exaggerated they were, could they really surpass online novels?

Is it truly enough to captivate Lai Yin?

Especially since he was a proud person, not yielding to money, and not bowing to power.

In any case, Mr. and Mrs. Jonas couldn’t figure it out.

What they didn’t know was that Lai Yin valued some subtleties that Bai Xiaosheng had naturally revealed throughout.

Lai Yin found Bai Xiaosheng to his liking, so he treated him as a friend, leading to this outpouring of enthusiasm.

After the meal, Lin Weiwei helped Mrs. Jonas clear the dining table while a few men sat on the sofa drinking tea and chatting.

Lai Yin and Bai Xiaosheng agreed to visit his alma mater, Haru City Medical College, the next morning to see his research achievements.

Haru Medical College is said to be ranked among the top five in the medical academic circles of Western Europe, and very high in world medical college rankings.

There, Lai Yin’s team had rented a laboratory and full equipment.

“My alma mater really stands firm, never bowing to capital, shielding us from lots of trouble,” Lai Yin spoke of these matters with particular pride.

Bai Xiaosheng simply smiled without speaking.

From Jonas and Lai Yin, Bai Xiaosheng learned that more and more capital was starting to pay attention to Lai Yin’s team.

Initially, it was small to medium-sized investments. Lately, many large investors have been approaching them too.

If those truly large capitalists, the big sharks, apply pressure to his alma mater, the Haru Medical College, and offer enough benefits, will the college continue to keep its head held high?

Bai Xiaosheng didn’t think so.

Perhaps Lai Yin’s team had long been valued by the leadership of the medical college, but the capital had never offered enough for them to pay attention. As the background of these investors grows larger, once those truly big players offer the right price, the college may even turn around and persuade Lai Yin’s team on their behalf, exerting reverse pressure!

In this world, money isn’t everything.

But money can solve ninety-nine percent of material troubles or obstacles.

If it can’t, it simply means there’s not enough money.

This, Bai Xiaosheng did not tell Lai Yin.

Lai Yin continued discussing their research with Bai Xiaosheng. Others might not understand those complex matters, but Bai Xiaosheng, with the help of Red Lotus, found it easy to search for information, sometimes raising questions that were quite professional.

This made Lai Yin even more pleasantly surprised and felt that Bai Xiaosheng was communicative.

Mrs. Jonas and Lin Weiwei came out from the kitchen, bringing dried fruits to the men.

Seeing Bai Xiaosheng and Lai Yin getting along, they couldn’t help but smile.

Jonas, sitting there, was also all smiles.

He felt that his new boss was indeed a nice person; it was even better that Lai Yin thought the same.

As they were chatting, suddenly the doorbell rang.

“Hey, Uncle Jonas, do you have more guests coming?” Lai Yin paused to drink some tea, looking towards the door in surprise.

“What do you mean by that? Your uncle’s house can’t have guests?” Jonas chided with a laugh.

Despite his words, Jonas himself was also a bit surprised, looking towards the door.

No wonder Lai Yin asked; ever since Jonas’s incident, up until his release, there had been very few visitors at their home.

Even though Jonas had some old friends, they usually met at bars and didn’t often visit unless it was for a special occasion.

Even mailmen and delivery people were rare.

“I’ll go take a look,” Mrs. Jonas said, heading to the door.

Shortly after, Mrs. Jonas returned, followed by someone.

“Jonas, this gentleman says he’s here to see you.”

Mrs. Jonas spoke with a slightly peculiar expression.

Bai Xiaosheng, Jonas, Lai Yin, Lei Ying, Lin Weiwei, all noticed the person who walked in.

They were all taken aback when they recognized the person, Bai Xiaosheng included.

The person was no stranger to them —

Tony!

He was the career gold medal headhunter who had sarcastically mocked Jonas in the café, tossing aside Jonas’s meticulously laid-out plans!

What was he here for?

Even Bai Xiaosheng was surprised by his presence.

Jonas’s expression also turned slightly somber.

Back then, things had gotten so ugly between them, there was no remaining sentiment.

“Mr. Jonas! Mr. Jonas!” Seeing Jonas, Tony immediately laughed and approached enthusiastically, “I finally found you, your place is really hard to find, haha.”
