Chapter 189 Rewards
News came from the sanatorium that Jingye's recovery is progressing very well, and she should be fully recovered in a few days.
In fact, Jingye had mentioned to her several times that she wanted to go home to recuperate, but Baili did not agree.
It wasn't a minor injury, after all.
A penetrating wound in the shoulder is no joke.
The doctor repeatedly emphasized that if the condition is not properly treated, it could very likely leave lasting health problems.
Therefore, Bai Li let Jing Ye rest peacefully in the sanatorium until she was completely recovered.
I don't mind being busy at the company for a while longer.
After communicating with the hospital in detail about Jingye's specific discharge date, Bai Li threw herself back into company affairs.
On the day that "Asking Immortals" surpassed 10 billion yuan at the box office, Bai Li held a grand celebration banquet at the company.
Inside the Little Crown banquet hall, the lights were bright, and people were bustling about, raising their glasses and laughing.
Since it was an internal celebration banquet for our own company, there was no need to choose an outside venue; we held it directly inside the Little Crown.
It wasn't to save costs, but for the convenience of the employees.
Bai Li entrusted Guan Cha with the entire responsibility of handling all the arrangements for the banquet without reservation.
Guan Cha is no longer the immature young man he once was.
After a period of growth and trial and error, he absorbed the resources and connections that Bai Li provided, much like a sponge.
Its rapid growth has made it extremely reliable.
For example, banquets of varying sizes or social affairs held over long distances can be entrusted to him for proper handling as long as Bai Li is unable to attend.
It is obvious that tonight's banquet was a great success under Guan Cha's coordination. The atmosphere, catering, and process were all arranged perfectly.
At this moment, all the established procedures have been basically completed, and the banquet is nearing its end.
Bai Li was also preparing to leave, leaving the rest of the venue to the employees to do as they pleased.
After all, employees might feel more reserved if their immediate supervisor is present, and they might feel embarrassed to leave early.
Thinking of Guan Cha, Bai Li looked around and finally found Guan Cha in a corner, who was concentrating on coordinating and handling logistics.
In recent months, I've really had to thank Guan Cha for helping me with a lot of miscellaneous tasks and relieving a lot of pressure.
Even on an occasion like today, Guan Cha is still working diligently and conscientiously.
A warm feeling welled up in Bai Li's heart. She put the glass of champagne, which was still emitting a slight chill, back onto the bartender's tray and quickly walked over.
Guan Cha sensed Bai Li's approach the moment she got close. His expression remained serious as he clearly and methodically gave her the last instructions before turning to Bai Li with a sweet smile and softly asking, "Li Li, were you looking for me?"
The person is still the same person, the face is still the same face, and when he smiles, his eyes still squint into crescent moons, exuding a familiar and friendly charm.
But whether it was Bai Li's imagination or not, she felt that Guan Cha had indeed changed a lot.
Perhaps it's because of his clothes tonight, and the way he styled his hair like an adult?
Wearing a formal suit, the sharp lines accentuated her slender figure. The suit fabric had a subtle sheen, and her hair was also carefully styled, combed back to reveal a smooth and full forehead, making her look neat and sophisticated.
He looked radiant and was a sight to behold.
The changes are indeed significant.
Bai Li said with emotion, "Thank you for your hard work today."
Upon hearing this, Guan Cha took a light step forward, instantly closing the distance between herself and Bai Li.
He lowered his head slightly, deliberately lowering his voice, his tone full of tenderness: "It's not hard work. As long as I do something that will make Lili happy, it's not hard work."
The golden light fell on his brow, his eyelashes trembled and cast shadows, and his expressive eyes stared intently at Bai Li, a sly smile curving his lips.
Bai Li looked up and met Guan Cha's gaze. Her eyes fell on Guan Cha's smooth, jade-like face, and she felt as if her brain had suddenly opened up.
She suddenly noticed a dark red earring on his left earlobe.
The earrings weren't the kind of color that was flashy; they were more like the cinnabar mark used in some online posts to maintain chastity, gleaming with a warm luster under the light.
After Guan Cha put it on, it inexplicably exuded a forbidden eroticism.
Guan Cha noticed Bai Li's gaze and deliberately tilted her head to better show off her earrings.
The slight sense of unfamiliarity that Bai Li had felt upon realizing the changes in Guan Cha vanished instantly.
Alright, look at this, there's not much change.
She still had that alluring look she was familiar with.
Thinking of the secret pleasure that Guan Cha brought her, Bai Li's heart trembled slightly involuntarily.
She glanced instinctively at the crowd in the direction of the banquet hall.
The crowd remained immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the banquet, seemingly oblivious to the commotion on their side.
However, the cautious Bai Li still extended a finger and gently pressed it against Guan Cha's chest, pushing him slightly away. At the same time, she narrowed her eyes dangerously, her voice carrying a hint of warning: "Stop being cheeky."
Guan Cha felt a push coming from his chest. Although the force was not strong, the touch was still hard for him to ignore, so he could only step back slightly.
He lowered his eyes slightly, instantly revealing an extremely innocent look, his voice full of grievance: "Lili... I just want a reward."
As soon as she finished speaking, Guan Cha took Bai Li's hand that was resting on her heart, her eyes flickering, and cautiously asked, "Is it okay?"
Through their time together, Bai Litai knew what kind of reward Guan Cha wanted.
Since Guan Cha's favorability rating reached 90 points or higher, it hasn't increased much.
The old method of increasing favorability by giving money is no longer effective.
On the contrary, the level of affection between two people only occasionally increases slightly when they are deeply in love and passionate.
Therefore, what Guan Cha truly desires now is not simply money, but something else, something deeper and more meaningful.
Seeing that Bai Li remained silent, Guan Cha asked again with teary eyes, "Is it possible?"
Bai Li chuckled at his puppy-like behavior, withdrew her hand, and deliberately refused in a cold tone, saying, "No."
He said no, but a hint of a smile flickered in his eyes as he watched Guan Cha's next performance with great interest.
"I've been doing very well lately, I deserve a reward, right?" Guan Cha continued, sounding aggrieved.
If the occasion weren't so inappropriate, he would have at least pretended to drop a couple of small pearls for Bai Li to see.
Seeing this, Bai Li could no longer bear to tease Guan Cha. She lowered her voice slightly and replied, "Okay."
Before Guan Cha could even express her joy, Bai Li abruptly changed the subject, her expression turning serious: "But not now. Have all the follow-up arrangements for the banquet been finalized?"
Guan Cha hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat dejectedly, "There's still a little bit of finishing work to do, which will probably take another ten minutes."
Bai Li nodded slightly upon hearing this.
Ten minutes is acceptable.
"I'll wait for you in the car. Come over when you're ready."
After giving her instructions, Bai Li turned and left without lingering.
Guan Cha simply replied with two words, "Received," and then watched the wine-red skirt disappear behind the gilded door.
A slight itch rose in his throat. He loosened his bow tie and turned around, his leather shoes making a crisp sound on the ground.
