The next day, Xiao Bai and Jia Zhiqing woke up early.

Jia Zhiqing took Xiao Bai to the barbershop downstairs, which often only had mosquitoes as guests, and had Xiao Bai's hair trimmed. They also went to that well-known counterfeit shop and bought a bottle of cologne with the BOSS label. If the black coating paint of the bottle would touch water, the cologne bottle paint would shed off.

Jia Zhiqing then helped Xiao Bai dress up with the clothes that were given by Gao Qin yesterday.

After everything was done, Jia Zhiqing looked at the neat and tidy Xiao Bai in the mirror with satisfaction and nodded as he said: "Well, you are indeed a bit like an idol."

Xiao Bai touched the lock of hair on his forehead and wondered: "Why keep this?"

"This is a popular trend." Jia Zhiqing took out a magazine from under the sofa cushion then exclaimed, "Look at the glamorous model on the front page!"

Xiao Bai looked at the date, "The year was 1999. That's ten years ago."

"Hey, leave it on for a few years. Look at Weng Meiling [1]. She acted as Huang Rong [2] in 1983, but her looks still look classic."

([1] Barbara Yung Mei-ling [Chinese: 翁美玲, 7 May 1959 – 14 May 1985] was a Hong Kong actress during the early 1980s.)

([2] Huang Rong is a fictional character in the wuxia novel The Legend of the Condor Heroes by Jin Yong. She also appears as a supporting character in the sequel, The Return of the Condor Heroes.)

Xiao Bai knew that the excited Jia Zhiqing would not hear out any voice of reason, so he decided to docilely shut up.

"Well, the meeting with the CEO is at noon, am I right?" Jia zhiqing beamed, "We definitely can't eat ginger, garlic, onion... and so on. Oh, that's right, before going, you must definitely not eat sweet potato, otherwise you'd end up farting."

Xiao Bai replied: "We don't have sweet potato at all."

Jia Zhiqing thought about it for a while, then with a serious face, he decided, "Xiao Bai, should we just chewing gum in the afternoon?"

"..."

And so, they spent their lunch time chewing and chewing and chewing.

This was Jia Zhiqing's first time seeing Yimate's building. If we were to base it on the scale of the building, Yimate was still a tiny speck as compared to the insurance company where he used to work at; however, in Jia Zhiqing's eyes, there were only handsome men and beautiful women in this place, and there were also no super ugly women. With this in mind, the differences between Yimate and his old insurance company immediately became like the gap between heaven and earth.

Xiao Bai was already familiar with the place so he lead Jia Zhiqing to the top floor.

The eyes of the female secretary, who was bored searching for hidden illicit affairs online, suddenly lit up.

"Xiao Bai." She greeted him with a smile.

Jia Zhiqing suddenly dashed forth and grabbed her hand, "Hello, I am Jia Zhiqing, the new manager. Please give me more advice in the future."
