After all the bigwigs left, only Gu Bai, Principal Wang, and Hugh Grosvenor were left.

Hugh Grosvenor said directly to Gu Bai, "Gu, I've already discussed with my family about investing in Black Swan Energy, but some things are hard to explain over the phone, so I've decided to return to the Eagle Country tonight."

Gu Bai also knew that finalizing a large investment of over 5 billion USD in a short period is challenging, so he nodded without saying much.

After receiving Gu Bai's response, Hugh Grosvenor gave him a hug.

"Gu, regardless of the outcome, you are the best friend of the Grosvenor Clan! In two months, it's Queen Elizabeth's coronation anniversary, and I hope you can come."

"Sure, if I'm free at that time, I'll definitely go to Europe in person."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Hugh Grosvenor left for the airport with his entourage.

Afterward, only Principal Wang was left standing beside Gu Bai. The two of them walked toward their respective vehicles followed by bodyguards.

"Gu Bai, I've known you for almost half a year now, right?"

Gu Bai nodded slightly.

"To be honest, when I first met you, I just thought you were an heir to some wealthy family in China, but as we interacted, so many things happened, and I understand you less and less, especially about your background.

Especially in the past few days, I've really been enlightened. Because of your 3% stake, Wanda has been busy for days, and with just a concept, you've become a billionaire in USD, theoretically the richest person in Hua Country. Now, I feel like our statuses have diverged, and I'm not quite fit to hang out with you."

Hearing this, Gu Bai patted his shoulder.

He said carefreely, "When you were the son of the richest man, did you think of me as an unknown rich second generation and look down on me?"

Principal Wang shook his head.

"I never treated you as an ordinary heir from the start, nor did I look down on you. After all, I don't care if my friends have money..."

Just as Principal Wang wanted to continue, he met Gu Bai's gaze and helplessly shrugged.

"Alright, you're richer than me."

When they reached their cars, Gu Bai looked at Principal Wang and slowly said, "Making friends does require matching identities; otherwise, it's hard to hang out together. But at this point, do we still need to worry about that?

You can't expect me to go to the Beautiful Country and hang out with Mark Zuckerberg, can you?"

After saying that, they exchanged smiles and got into their respective cars.

Actually, there was one more thing Gu Bai didn't say. If he really made friends based on status, with his system, he could only hang out with God because someday he would become the most formidable person on this planet.

Soon, a limited edition Bugatti Chiron Legend of the Sky arrived beneath an apartment building in the Capital City.

Though it was just after 9 PM, the surroundings of the apartment were quiet, and the security was quite good.

Gu Bai waited in the car for a short while, and then a woman wearing a baseball cap, a black mask, and sunglasses in the middle of the night came down from the apartment and sat in the passenger seat.

As soon as she got in the car, Di Li Ruo Ba took off her mask and complained, "I almost suffocated."

Gu Bai looked at her fiery red lips and joked, "Then why not just skip the mask? Why the full disguise?"

Di Li Ruo Ba rolled her eyes at him.

"You don't know, the paparazzi have already found this apartment of mine, and they've been tailing me. Just a few days ago, I went for hot pot with my colleagues, and the paparazzi took pictures, distorting it as a private date! It was thanks to Sister Mi's PR that it was resolved, so I'm looking for a new place to move as soon as possible."

Gu Bai listened to her but didn't respond, staring straight into her eyes.

Di Li Ruo Ba was a bit shy under Gu Bai's gaze, touching her face, "Is my makeup off?"

"No, you look beautiful."

Hearing Gu Bai's compliment, Di Li Ruo Ba was secretly delighted.

Ever since Yang Function called her, she had been putting on makeup and dressing up just to show Gu Bai her most beautiful side.

"If you haven't found a place yet, you don't need to look anymore. I have a property in the Capital City. My cousin and some fellow trainees are living there now. If you're willing, you can just move in. The paparazzi can't get in there."

"Huh?"

Di Li Ruo Ba looked puzzled.

"What? You don't want to?"

"No, it's just that moving in like that feels a bit inappropriate. What status would I have to move into your house..."

After saying this, she waited for Gu Bai's answer.

"You can move in with any status you want."

Confronted with Gu Bai's ambiguous answer, Di Li Ruo Ba wanted to ask more, but Gu Bai revved the engine, and they zoomed off into the distance.

After the Bugatti Chiron sped away, three paparazzi holding cameras emerged from a hidden corner not far away.

"Damn, I'm freezing! Three days of stalking for this scoop! Di Li Ruo Ba's midnight rendezvous with a supercar driver—this headline is going to be explosive!"

"Ha-ha, they said Di Li Ruo Ba would change her residence after being caught once. I said she wouldn't, right? They didn't come, and now we've got this scoop, which will probably earn us enough bonus to eat for half a year!"
