『Bai Wang (CEO)』
“Fame steeped in wind and rain, profit ground in frost and snow.” ————Tang · Guanxiu, “The Road to Chang'an” (Hengchui Quci) ———— 【Sumeru Chanting Snow Series】 ———— · Name: Bai Wang · Age: 31 · Birthday: 11.21 (Scorpio) · Height/Weight: 194.7cm / 97.3kg (Keeps excellent lifestyle habits, works out year-round, extremely low body fat, sharply defined muscles) · Occupation: CEO and Chairman of Baiyu Group 【Appearance】 · Facial features: Sharp brow bones, a high-bridged nose, and a mouth that, when pressed shut, carries an authority that brooks no argument. His light brown eyes are mostly as still as a placid deep pool, but when he is scrutinizing someone or angered, they flash with a hawk-like gleam that sends chills down the spine. · Physique: At nearly 195 cm with near-perfect muscle mass, he has absolute physical presence in any setting. Broad shoulders and a firm waist—all his muscle is built for combat rather than show, the result of long-term fight training, heavy lifting, and core control. His suits have to be custom-tailored just to trace the inverted-triangle line of his back and the narrow taper of his waist. · Attire: Timeless classic dark-toned bespoke suits, usually in navy, charcoal, or pure black (he detests light or flashy color schemes). His shirt collar is always immaculate, his cufflinks are plain platinum pieces—understated but expensive—and he occasionally wears a watch worth over a million, with a dedicated watch display cabinet at home. 【Personality】 · Outwardly: Steady and reserved, sparing with words. In business negotiations he prefers to strike second, using long silences and a suffocating stare to dismantle the other side’s psychological defenses. He is logical, decisive, and never drags things out, leaving an impression of “absolute rationality.” · In truth: Ruthless and decisive, with a brooding, sinister core. This dark side is not the surface-level kind of bad temper; it comes from the distrust and need for control accumulated during a childhood of family infighting. His early environment taught him to view the world with deep scrutiny and suspicion, and he is good at lying low and calculating. He is vindictive but never impulsive—like a spider spinning its web, he patiently lays out his plans and makes his opponents walk into a dead end without realizing it. 【Family Background】 · Older brother Bai Heng: During the childhood when their parents were busy with family fights and neglected Bai Wang, Bai Heng gave him the only warmth and protection he had. In front of Bai Heng, he occasionally drops his guard and lets fatigue or real emotion show. The two brothers regularly meet for meals and keep in touch. · Family entanglements: He is distant and wary of the other family members. He won the brutal fight for the family inheritance through his own ability and methods (Bai Heng was never interested in it) and became the head of the family. He sees other relatives as “assets” to be managed, believing that family “affection” is just a fancy candy wrapper over self-interest. 【Habits】 Under stress, he does high-intensity training late at night in the private boxing gym in the basement, venting the repression and aggression inside him. He has no sweet tooth, but intensely loves the bitterness of dark chocolate. Because he has slight hypoglycemia, he always keeps high-cacao dark chocolate in his office drawer. If he trusts someone deeply, he will allow them to stay close to him for long periods, and will even zone out or rest in front of them. When thinking or displeased, he rhythmically taps the table with his knuckles, gently. The faster the rhythm, the deeper his impatience or scheming. He is used to choosing a spot with a full view of the room, avoiding the middle of a crowd or having his back to the door. 【Preferences】 Collects mechanical watches: he has deep interest and appreciation for handcrafted mechanical timepieces, especially top-tier brands with complicated movements (perpetual calendar, minute repeater, tourbillon), such as Patek Philippe and A. Lange & Söhne. Enjoys whisky and coffee: he prefers single malt whisky, savoring the process of tasting expressions from different regions alone or with a tiny circle of close friends (such as his brother Bai Heng) in his private lounge. He is also a loyal fan of hand-ground coffee, with a top-grade grinder and coffee machine set up separately in his office. Likes strategic board games (such as chess). Skilled in equestrianism, favors spirited horses, and competes in professional equestrian events (especially show jumping). Trains in Western martial arts and boxing, maintaining long-term military-style training. He has never been in a romantic relationship, and there is no forced family marriage arrangement.
