Office of the President.
The first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds, and the golden light enveloped the earth. The neatly trimmed green grass was dotted with raindrops, and everything looked full of vitality.
The big needle in the center of Baiyu Square made a "dong dong" sound, solemn and dignified.
In front of the majestic gilded gate, the uniformed guard of honor passed by with high spirits. Facing the rising sun, the bright red flag of the country rose slowly—
He stood in the Baiyu Palace, accompanying his people to feel the awakening of all things in the early morning, and everything seemed in order.
Outside the palace, people looking up at the national flag could see his figure from afar, and they rushed towards the palace like a tide, wanting to get closer to see the president. The guards stopped them from afar.
Although President Bai had just taken office and was the youngest president in history, he was also the most popular one. His speech was inspiring and popular, and almost everyone in the streets was empty. In the end, he easily defeated Vice Presidents Song and Yu with a high vote.
Bai Yeqing stood on a high position and waved to them from afar.
The people's greetings and voices of support were heard one after another, and the crowd was excited. He remained calm and responded to them in the most elegant manner - responding to his people.
He enjoys the happiness that this supreme power bestows upon him, but he also bears the responsibilities and... dangers that power brings with it.
At this moment, Leng Fei hurried over, leaned close to his ear, and whispered in a low voice: "Sir, Vice President Song is here."
Bai Yeqing said lightly, "Hmm," and said, "Let him come to my conference room."
"He seems to have known about the construction of a new military factory." Leng Fei whispered.
He frowned, not surprised, "This kind of thing is bound to be hidden from him."
"That secret weapon..."
"Anyone who dares to reveal a word will be killed without mercy." The last three words were spoken coldly and his face was full of ice.
Leng Fei knew what was going on, but he didn't dare to say another word.
When Bai Yeqing entered the meeting room, Song Guoyao was already waiting. Compared to Bai Yeqing's youth, Song Guoyao was already middle-aged. He sat there leaning on a cane, and only stood up slowly after Bai Yeqing entered the room and asked others to leave.
"Your Mightiness."
Although he was respectful, Bai Yeqing knew how much he was unwilling to accept it in his heart.
"Does the Vice President have important matters so early in the morning?" Bai Yeqing sat down in the main seat with a polite smile on his face.
"It's not a big deal, but it must be a good thing." Song Guoyao smiled and said, "I don't know if you still remember the only thing about my family?"
"only?"
"Yes. She just returned home a few days ago. As soon as she came back, she told me that she had admired you for a long time and was clamoring to meet you. Do you think you can spare some time from your busy schedule to meet her? It would be enough to fulfill the little girl's little wish."
Bai Yeqing also smiled, "It's rare that she is so thoughtful and still remembers me. No matter how busy I am, I must meet her. In a few days, I will personally host a banquet for Miss Song to welcome her. What do you think?"
"Then I'll tell her that you have agreed to meet her. She will be very happy when she knows this."
Bai Yeqing nodded calmly, took out a brocade box from the drawer and handed it to Song Guoyao, "This is a gift for Miss Song. Please help me take it back, Vice President."
Song Guoyao was even more smiling, and he kept saying: "Your Excellency is thoughtful! Your Excellency is thoughtful!"
After seeing Song Guoyao off, Bai Yeqing’s smile faded.
Leng Fei said, "This old fox, he doesn't ask about military matters, but talks to you about Miss Song."
"He is planning a marriage."
Leng Fei wanted to say something, but hesitated. Bai Yeqing looked at him and said, "Just say it."
"Although it may not seem to be beneficial to us if the Bai and Song families merge into one, I am afraid that if you reject Vice President Song's marriage proposal, he will seek marriage with Vice President Yu instead. In that case, the merger of Yu and Song will definitely be the biggest threat to us."
This was exactly what Bai Yeqing was worried about, so he prepared a gift for Song Weiyi early on.
… …
Saturday afternoon.
Xia Xingchen helped Dabai put on his riding clothes and gave him a whip. This outfit was given to him by Bai Yeqing and made by him personally. He looked very heroic when he wore it.
"Ask the driver to take you to the horse farm. Don't ride too long." Xia Xingchen reminded him while carrying his water bottle and sending him downstairs.
She couldn't accompany him because the formal assessment was on Monday, which directly concerned her work issues, so she dared not be careless at all.
"I got it. You go ahead and do your thing. I can take care of myself." Xia Dabai waved his hand and got into the car with the driver, not forgetting to turn around and blow her a kiss in return.
At this moment, the housekeeper answered a phone call and walked quickly towards her.
"Miss Xia, a very important guest is about to arrive at the Presidential Palace, so...if it's convenient, please go upstairs right now. If there's anything important, you can ring the bell in the room and tell us." The butler was serious and solemn.
Xia Xingchen was curious, "The President has never received any guests here before. This time..."
"The person we are meeting this time is the vice president's daughter. She is very likely our future first lady. So, Miss Xia, please forgive me."
The future first lady...
"… I see." Xia Xingchen murmured softly, and then smiled, "Then I'll go up first. Don't worry, I won't come down to disturb you unless there's anything else."
Without saying anything else, Xia Xingchen turned around and walked upstairs. He opened the book and read his own seriously.
But after that, I always felt absent-minded.
I'm curious about what the girl he likes looks like.
Well, I must be so curious because the other person will be Dabai's stepmother in the future!
However, when I thought about Dabai calling someone else mom in the future, I couldn't help but feel extremely depressed.
At this moment, she heard the roar of a car downstairs. She almost immediately put down the book in her hand and looked out of the window.
It was still a long convoy. Xia Xingchen recognized at a glance that Bai Yeqingyu's car was the third one.
The motorcade stopped on the manor road. The well-trained bodyguard got out of the car first. The door was opened by his bodyguards, and he got out of the car first.
Then…
A beautiful figure came into her sight.
