At that moment, the waiter glided in, bearing trays of dishes. The ambiance lightened, and Ruan Meng began to unwind.

Gu Yang regarded her contemplatively. “Do hypnotists unsettle you?”

Ruan Meng couldn’t resist a sarcastic eye-roll. “Who wouldn’t fear someone capable of silent kills? Did you notice how Devon practically took a defensive stance before approaching you?”

Gu Yang gave her a reassuring pat on the shoulder. “We’re in China, a land of harmony. We don’t resort to lethal measures.”

“Fair point.” Ruan Meng sighed in relief.

Initially, she had doubted China’s freedom, hesitant even to bring her miniature pistol. Now, however, she felt considerably safer.

Gu Yang remarked, “I’m not exactly topping the hypnotist charts.”

Ruan Meng was taken aback. “How’s that possible? You’re leagues ahead of Tally. Why aren’t you ranked?”

Gu Yang shrugged nonchalantly. “I’ve never engaged in hypnotist competitions or undertaken any groundbreaking feats. It’s only natural not to make the list, isn’t it?”

Ruan Meng summoned her courage and inquired, “So, you’re truly not Singer?”

Gu Yang lapsed into silence. “Absolutely not.”

How could a young woman ardently devoted to socialism like her be associated with Singer, an anti-human and anti-social hypnotist?

“Why did you summon me here today?”

“Ah, yes. Didn’t I promise you a gift of your liking?”

Only then did Ruan Meng recall the weighty purpose of their meeting. From her crocodile bag, she produced a small bottle of essential oil and twisted off the cap. “This is…”

Initially disinterested, Gu Yang’s eyes sparked to life the moment the bottle released its fragrant essence. “Agarwood essential oil?”

Ruan Meng glanced at the insignia on the bottle cap, exclaiming, “Yes, your olfactory senses are remarkably acute!”

Setting the agarwood essential oil on the table, she proceeded to unveil several more bottles of essential oils. “Here’s sandalwood essential oil, rose essential oil…”

With each new bottle Ruan Meng revealed, Gu Yang’s eyes gleamed brighter.

This was liquid gold!

Ruan Meng’s handbag harbored ten bottles of exquisitely priced spices and essential oils. After meticulously arranging them on the table, she gazed at Gu Yang. “I had the Bass family procure these and deliver them to you. Do you find this gift agreeable? Can we forge a friendship?”

She extended her hand towards Gu Yang, tilting her head slightly.

Gu Yang shifted her focus from the array of essential oils and clasped Ruan Meng’s hand, her eyes brimming with sincerity. “I sense your genuine warmth. Whether through a gift or not, I simply desire friendship with you.”

Ruan Meng was taken aback, feeling a sudden unease under Gu Yang’s earnest gaze.

Nonetheless, she found solace in Gu Yang’s contentment. It was a relief to establish a friendship.

“I’m glad you appreciate it.” Ruan Meng stressed with concern, “Then let’s affirm it. Are we friends now?”

Gu Yang nodded enthusiastically.

May she find more friendships like this one!

Ruan Meng didn’t broach the topic of Good Pharmaceuticals immediately. She needed to proceed step by step, seeking assistance gradually.

Moreover, her initial intent to befriend Gu Yang was driven by the desire to facilitate a partnership with Good Pharmaceuticals. But now, it was because of Gu Yang herself.

Here stood a hypnotist even more formidable than Tally!

“In the future, can I visit you more often?” Ruan Meng recollected Gu Yang’s words to Devon and added, “It won’t disrupt your preparation for the college entrance exams.”

“Absolutely.” Gu Yang beamed, her pearly whites gleaming.

Lunch with Gu Yang turned out to be delightful.

Ruan Meng came to the realization that, as long as Gu Yang didn’t unexpectedly startle her, she was actually quite easy to befriend.
