Ignorance

"Did you read the documents?" Chen Bai forces himself to smile.

"Yeah, sure." I answered without giving him any eye contact, check the watch on my wrist again, the shooting starts in less than 50 minutes, and driving there will cost at least 20 minutes.

"When did they said they'll be here?" I asked to be sure.

"Ten minutes ago." They're late. I was hoping that this meeting would end within 30 minutes, but instead, my time is being wasted here.

"I'm leaving." I got up and leave, "Yang Li, let's go."

"Already?" I heard his reply muffling through the wall, then he sluggishly came out of the room after waited for the door to finish creaking.

Chen Bai looks so tired of me that he doesn't even bother to ask anymore. He only opened the door to leave the office and followed.

"Where we going?" Yang Li asked.

"The shooting." Yang Li takes out his phone to check the time.

"Oh shoot! It's already this late? You're going to be late." He overreacted by jumping around after checking his phone.

"I won't if we leave now." As soon as I said that, the elevator door opened with a familiar shade of red hair on three different heads.

"Ah, Mister Bai." The tall man called out, he has a few strings of white hair within the red. Zhang Liu looks surprised, but why is Zhang Yie shocked? I thought he knew.

"Where are you going in a hurry?" He asked as both of his sons' chin are about to fall on the floor.

Chen Bai looks at me for an answer.

"Chen Bai, give them a call that I'll be late."

The company Chen Bai works for is not only a company that produces technology but also a company that supports many artistic talents, so he has faced many people who are difficult to deal with. But when an owner of a smaller company keeps on trying to please you gets annoying, and Chen Bai almost had enough, but he can't react since it'll look unprofessional.

He first thought that the owner of a well-known insurance company must be reasonable, right? But this has been going on for the past five minutes, and the man is still talking to him when Chen Bai stood behind a sitting person who's obviously more important.

The man felt a bit awkward so he moves to a new topic, "So where's Madam Zhao?"

Chen Bai finally opened his mouth to speak, but Xie Feihao didn't let him.

"Zhang Yie, I'm going to guess you learned your behavior from your mother?" He asked with a fake smile, "Because your father is more like a dog."

Yang Li, who is one of this brat's friends, was watching from afar on the office chair, stopped eating a bag of chips half-way, leaving crumbs are everywhere. Chen Bai feels like he has to clean it again soon.

"Turns out we're leaving early instead," Xie Feihao got up and leave. Yang Li hurriedly threw the bag of chips in the trash and ran after him.

Chen Bai follows them to open the door to allow them to leave. As soon as he's about to close the door, the man chased after him, not them.

"Mister Bai, I don't know what I did-"

"The young master has a busy schedule, you were 12 minutes late and you wasted over five minutes." Chen Bai interrupted him to get rid of the situation quicker, "If you wish to talk about the correlation, you can schedule for another time." Then he turned to leave.

The man quickly stopped the door by holding the edge, "Who's-"

"Who's the young master? The one you've just ignored." Chen Bai continues to close the door after brushing the man's hands-off, then he stopped when it's almost closed and open it back a little bit, "Also, he's the future CEO of the company." He finally shuts the door.

Zhang Yie knew, but he wanted to see if his predictions were true with his own eyes. It seems like the announcement about Xie Feihao becoming the heir of Zhao Liyue's company hasn't been made public yet. The other thing that Zhang Yie was curious about, how did Zhang Liu recognize Xie Feihao without his glasses? They only have met a few times.

From what he has heard from the rumors, Xie Feihao and his brother had a bad relationship and always argues when they met in the hallways. Zhang Yie only witnessed both of them in the same place once, and it wasn't really a fight, it was just Xie Feihao flipping Zhang Liu off and left while Zhang Liu cursing behind Xie Feihao's back.

I was in a good mood today until someone wasted my time, so I went to the shootings for 'whatever-that-show-is.' Soon I was told that I wasn't into character enough so I was forced to walk around the town to act childish while people laugh behind my back.

"Should I burn down the stadium?" I mumbled to myself in the back seat of the car.

"You can't sir, that's committing arsonist." Chen Bai sighs in the front passenger seat, he's like Yang Li, have gotten used to my sarcasm and reckless behavior, while the driver looks worried.

The car slowly pulls back and comes to a stop in front of a large mansion in the middle of nowhere. Chen Bai have gotten out of the car first then opened the door for me, but I didn't bother to thank him, I'm not a saint or in a good mood. However, there was a familiar face from the school at the door waiting for us.

"Bai Jidan(egg) right?" I asked.

"Lidong." Chen Bai corrected me.

"Whatever." I brushed it off and went inside.

Chen Bai led me to the trash bag that tried to blow my brains out the other night. He tightened up against a chair, black and blue everywhere, and half of his face was swollen.

"We tried to get information out of him, but he won't speak." Bai Lidong pretends to be respectful after listening to me saying his name wrong, but it looks like he wasn't holding a grudge, quite professional.

I brought out a small notebook and a pen, wrote something, and handed it to Bai Lidong. "Go buy this, be back in 30 minutes."
