Chapter 67: Samsung executives transferred to Donghae

“I’m sorry, I should go.”

With those words, a Genesis G90 slowly pulled up to the school gate.

The moment the engine cut out, the surrounding noise seemed to hit a pause button, and the air stilled for a brief beat.

The driver’s door opened first.

The driver stepped out with clean, decisive movements, without any wasted glances or hesitation.

He rounded the car to the back seat, opened the door for her, and bowed slightly.

“Thank you for waiting, Miss Bai.”

The eyes of the remaining girls were filled with reluctance and longing.

“Senior Bai, please don’t leave.”

“We only just saw you…”

“If it’s meant to be, we’ll see each other again.”

“Perhaps by then, I will still need help from all of you.”

Bai Xialin gave a gentle smile and nodded to her former classmates.

The car door closed immediately.

The soundproof glass rose slowly, cutting off the school’s noise.

The driver returned to his seat.

He stole a quick glance in the rearview mirror to confirm.

“Back to Seocho-dong, Miss Bai?”

“Yes.”

“I’m meeting my parents.”

“They will be settling in Donghai soon.”

The Genesis G90 drove smoothly away from the gate.

At that moment, several girls looked toward where the car had vanished at almost the same time, as if one more look could prevent her from truly leaving.

To Bai Xialin, this was perhaps a very ordinary farewell.

But in their eyes, it felt more like a deity temporarily withdrawing her gaze.

A girl like Bai Xialin was so excellent it was almost unreasonable.

She stood at such a high position that it was difficult to imagine what kind of man could truly enter her sight.

But that didn’t make them feel lost.

Quite the opposite.

As long as Bai Xialin remained single, these girls who liked her could continue to indulge in their fantasies with a clear conscience.

They had pictured the scene in their hearts more than once ….

Senior Bai, with a composed expression and a certain tone, carrying an irresistible dominance like a powerful CEO, would casually hook their gaze and whisper, ‘Little kitty.’

Even just the thought of it was enough to make their hearts skip a beat, leaving them dazed for a long time.

“Miss Bai is as popular as ever.”

The driver’s tone was steady, without mockery or overstepping.

“I left Seoul back then just to avoid this kind of situation.”

Bai Xialin rested her chin on her hand, her gaze falling on the street scenery rushing past the window.

Her expression showed a rare hint of faint melancholy.

This driver was not an android she had brought from the alien planet, but a dedicated driver hired locally by her android parents for the long term.

His monthly salary was as high as 10,000,000 won.

A high-end professional like him was not just responsible for driving.

He also handled security and etiquette, was fluent in English and Japanese, and was extremely sensitive to business boundaries.

He vaguely sensed that Miss Bai must be in love.

“I’m truly happy for Miss Bai.”

“Your schedule seems to have gained a fixed direction.”

He didn’t say anything more after that.

When he spoke again, the vehicle had already arrived at Seocho-dong, near the high-rise luxury apartments along the Han River.

This area was very close to Samsung Town.

As Samsung executives, her android parents had a daily commute of only about 10 minutes.

This was considered one of the core areas of Seoul.

The government was north of the Han River, while capital was south of the river.

Seocho-dong was the central hub of Gangnam capital, where the wealthiest group of people in the country lived.

It wasn’t crowded with tourists like Myeong-dong, nor did it display luxury like Cheongdam-dong.

It didn’t need flashiness or noise.

This place was only responsible for making the rules.

The Genesis G90 entered the underground parking lot.

“Daughter!”

Her father, who should have been working at this time, was standing there with an excited face.

“Dad, I’m back.”

Bai Xialin smiled faintly at the android father in front of her, Baek Jeong-hun.

He was not her biological father.

But on their planet, androids possessed a degree of human rights, as well as emotions and desires.

They were extremely loyal to the masters who purchased them, but it wasn’t blind obedience.

Like real family members, they would remind their masters not to stay up late or eat unhealthily.

Over time, their loyalty only grew stronger.

“Welcome back.”

“Your mother and I have been looking forward to this day.”

Seeing the father and daughter reunited, the driver had the sense to leave.

“Tell me about what happened around you.”

Once the driver was gone, Baek Jeong-hun followed behind Bai Xialin.

When they were alone, he remained deeply respectful toward her.

Because on that distant alien planet, it was Bai Xialin who had bought the android who was about to be scrapped, personally repairing and caring for this defective product.

That product was Baek Jeong-hun.

“Dad, I want you to go to Donghai in the Nation of Huaxia.”

“Is that a difficult task for you?”

“It’s not a difficult task, Xialin.”

“In fact, the chairman has always wanted me to take over the Huaxia market. I only kept declining because I thought you might still need Seoul as a base in the future.”

“Now, I need a base in Donghai.”

“Then we can follow the same pattern and use a similar script again.”

“I can become an executive for some enterprise in Donghai. That way, you can also have an identity in the Nation of Huaxia.”

“Speaking of which, you previously played an ugly girl in Huaxia, right?”

“Yes.”

“The name was Ai Lian.”

Bai Xialin’s tone was calm.

“I’m not using that identity card anymore.”

“I see. Was it very hard?”

“Playing a perfect school belle is hard. But being an unappealing, ugly girl was also hard because there were always annoying people trying to use me to establish their own authority.”

“I’ve actually studied quite a few human movies,” Baek Jeong-hun said, suddenly puffing out his chest.

“Even if I have to play the father of a poor family, it shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

“Alright, Dad.”

“The situation is different this time.”

“I have an observation target.”

“The family behind him possesses a fairly mature intelligence network. I’m worried that inventing a local family out of thin air will reveal flaws.”

“Therefore, it’s best to approach him as an international student from abroad.”

“Their family’s reach shouldn’t extend all the way to Seoul.”

“I understand, Xialin.”

“I will request instructions from the chairman and apply for a transfer to Donghai.”

Bai Xialin gave a sweet smile.

“Thank you, Dad.”

“Ah!”

Baek Jeong-hun jerked as if he had been struck by a bullet.

“Xialin.”

“Can you say that to me one more time?”

“Thank you, Dad.”

“I’m truly happy.”

“Having you smile at me and say ‘Thank you, Dad’ makes me more energetic than a full charge.”

“I think this is what human emotions call happiness.”

Bai Xialin looked at him, her tone gentle.

“Dad.”

“You are human.”

“It’s just that I am a human with blood flowing through me, and you are a human with electricity flowing through you.”
