Bai Yanyun and Li Ruobing's Grudge

The highlight of the Wen Feng Gala was the collection auction, and since not all the attendees had arrived yet, Li Ruobing and Su Rui casually found a spot to sit down.

Deng Hao and Bai Yanyun walked directly through the crowd towards them.

Tap tap tap!

Su Rui tapped the table with his finger, reminding Li Ruobing, who was still browsing news about Ye Qin on her phone.

"Sister Ruobing." The sound of high heels stopped abruptly when they were less than half a meter in front of the two. Bai Yanyun stood before Li Ruobing, smiling reservedly, "I just returned to the country. I really didn't expect to run into you here!"

"..." Li Ruobing looked up, her expression unchanged, still calmly nodding, "Mm."

"Sister Ruobing... still as distant as ever," Bai Yanyun smiled, then glanced strangely at Su Rui sitting beside Li Ruobing. As if she thought of something, she pulled Deng Hao over, "Let me introduce you, Deng Hao! My boyfriend!"

Deng Hao placed his left hand smoothly on his abdomen and extended his hand to Li Ruobing with a smile, "I've heard Yan Yun mention you many times. It's truly better to meet in person than just hear about you. Miss Li, your presence is indeed exceptional!"

Li Ruobing lightly shook hands with Deng Hao.

Su Rui sat aside with a strange smile, watching the conversation between the three.

Everything seemed calm on the surface.

Perhaps to outsiders, this was just a very ordinary meeting between friends who hadn't seen each other in a long time. But who was Su Rui? He knew all the secrets, and naturally, he also knew the relationship between Bai Yanyun and Li Ruobing.

Bai Yanyun and Li Ruobing were friends.

But only in the past.

The Bai Family and the Li Family both belonged to the top wealthy families in Tongzhou. They had also collaborated a few times. In a government project bidding meeting, Li Guodong and the Bai Family patriarch jointly won the construction qualification.

And that time, coincidentally, Li Ruobing and Bai Yanyun, who were in junior high, were both present.

By chance, the two girls, who were close in age, met and, after a few interactions, became friends.

But as time went on, Li Ruobing and Bai Yanyun began to show different personalities.

Li Ruobing was strong and extremely competitive, so she always liked to be the first in everything. She was already very independent and mature during high school. As the little princess of the Bai Family, Bai Yanyun was naturally born with countless blessings and her spirit was also nurtured to be extremely high. The friends she had interacted with before also chose to flatter and coax her because of the Bai Family.

So Bai Yanyun's character was like a spoiled child who thought the whole world should revolve around her.

From the moment they met, Bai Yanyun found that Li Ruobing consistently surpassed her, whether in academic performance or popularity.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch up to Li Ruobing. Whenever the two appeared together, the focus of attention in the crowd was often Li Ruobing, who was more outstanding in all aspects.

Over time, Bai Yanyun naturally felt unbalanced and intentionally began to distance herself.

And Li Ruobing's personality also dictated that she wouldn't say much to Bai Yanyun because of this.

Once a woman's jealousy appears, it's difficult to dissipate, especially for a wealthy princess like Bai Yanyun, who had been pampered since childhood.

From then on, their relationship began to deteriorate.

And when both of them entered the same prestigious university, their relationship never eased.

Leaving high school and entering the wider stage of university, Bai Yanyun's abilities were also showcased. She seemed to have emerged from Li Ruobing's shadow and regained some confidence.

As descendants of wealthy families, the majors they chose were naturally related to business operations. Relying on what they had learned since childhood and their astonishing talent, both of them also made a name for themselves within their respective departments.

The point of conflict was a simulated confrontation between the two departments.

Li Ruobing and Bai Yanyun's departments both belonged to the Marketing Department. At that time, the school leader serving as the department head, in order to test the overall quality of the students and to avoid the situation of merely talking on paper, decided to organize a simulated confrontation between the two departments.

The conditions were as follows... The two departments were considered two companies, their respective students were considered employees, the school provided them with the same conditions and funds, and then they each chose goods and channels to conduct a one-month confrontation. Ultimately, whoever accumulated more funds would win.

The winner would receive a generous credit reward.

This was originally a very ordinary simulation activity, but the key point was that the leaders of the two factions were... Li Ruobing and Bai Yanyun.

The confrontation between the two favored daughters of heaven naturally attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone at the school knew about the relationship between Li Ruobing and Bai Yanyun, so their curiosity was also piqued, wanting to witness the outcome.

After learning about this, Bai Yanyun prepared for a long time, seriously reviewing materials and staying up late, enduring the scorching sun to conduct market research.

Everyone knew what she was working so hard for.

To defeat Li Ruobing head-on!

To prove to everyone that I, Bai Yanyun, am no worse than Li Ruobing. What she can do, I can do, and even better than her!

And then...

She lost.

And it was a crushing defeat.

The one-month deadline arrived...

The initial capital of twenty thousand yuan was multiplied by twenty times in Li Ruobing's hands!

As for Bai Yanyun's department, not only did they not make any money, but even the initial capital was tricked by Li Ruobing into buying a pile of unsellable waste! The only usable funds remaining were eighteen yuan and six cents!

This was a completely merciless slaughter.

Bai Yanyun and Li Ruobing became completely famous on campus!

In the sixty years since the Marketing Department was established, there had been at least two or three hundred simulated confrontations, and never before had there been such a one-sided situation.

Even the head of the Marketing Department was shocked. After learning the details of Li Ruobing's operation, he was stunned for a full thirty seconds before praising a subordinate mentor, "Li Ruobing is a born businesswoman. She is decisive, ruthless, and has courage. Even if she weren't the eldest daughter of the Li Family, she would still have a place in Tongzhou in the future!"

"If this wasn't a simulation but a real business war, Bai Yanyun would probably have been driven to jump off a building by now... This child certainly has some brains, but ultimately she's no match for Li Ruobing... What a shame! What a real shame!"

Victory and defeat were decided.

Bai Yanyun fell seriously ill at home and refused to see anyone.

The confidence she had finally built up was shattered by Li Ruobing once again.

She had hidden her strength, prepared meticulously for a long time, hoping to defeat Li Ruobing in one go and finally hold her head high. She never expected such a result.

She used to think that even if there was a gap between her and Li Ruobing, it was only a tiny one. But reality dealt her a heavy blow.

Since the establishment of this university, she was the first person to be defeated so completely.

And she was defeated by the person she least wanted to lose to.

Three months later, she withdrew from the university and went abroad alone to a prestigious art college, completely abandoning the idea of studying business.

After graduating from university, Li Ruobing also went abroad to study at a business school, and the two never met again.

Five years have passed since then.

That's why Li Ruobing was a little surprised to see Bai Yanyun outside the hotel today.
