136: Chapter 135 Got Tricked 136: Chapter 135 Got Tricked Lin Yao looked at Bai Zhiqing, barely suppressing the fury in his heart, and said with reluctance, “Since the chairman has decided, let’s consider that I never ntioned this matter.
However, this incident must be thoroughly investigated; we can’t let anyone off the hook.”
“Of course, I’ve already arranged for it.
Vice President Lin, if there’s nothing else, you may leave first.
I have a lot of work to do.”
Bai Zhiqing effectively issued an eviction order.
“Zhiqing, do you really dislike seeing that much?”
Lin Yao stood up, looked at Bai Zhiqing with a polite expression, and said, “Zhiqing, I was wondering if you’re free after work.
How about we have dinner together?
Don’t get wrong, I intend to discuss the future developnt of the company with you.”
“Go~to~hell, who would believe you?
Discussing work after hours, bullshit!”
Lu Tianxing cursed inwardly and pricked up his ears, listening intently.
Bai Zhiqing glanced over Lu Tianxing without a change in her expression and said indifferently, “I’m sorry, Vice President Lin.
As you know, the company is so busy with the developnt project for Tianhe Resort that I just don’t have the leisure ti to have dinner.
Whatever you want to say can be discussed during working hours; there’s no need to wait until after work.”
“What about after the investnt is settled?
I can wait for you,” Lin Yao asked, not ready to give up.
“We can talk about future matters in the future.
Vice President Lin, please leave if there’s nothing else.
I need to get back to work.”
Bai Zhiqing stopped talking and looked down at the docunts on her desk.
“Alright then, Zhiqing, you get back to your work.
I’ll be leaving.”
Lin Yao looked at Bai Zhiqing reluctantly, without saying anything further, he turned, opened the door, and walked out.
After Lin Yao had left, Lu Tianxing imdiately stood up from his chair, walked over to Bai Zhiqing, leaned heavily on the office desk with both hands, towering over her, and stared at Bai Zhiqing without blinking, his face full of silent reproach.
Bai Zhiqing frowned and said, “Lu Tianxing, what’s gotten into you now?
Let tell you again, I have nothing to do with Lin Yao.
What in the world do you want?”
“I don’t want anything.
That pretty boy dares to compete with a real man like for a woman.
I could slap him dead.
You probably couldn’t stand him even if you were blind; he’s not in my league.”
Lu Tianxing proudly touched his hair before continuing with a look of resentnt, “Wife, I have a question for you.
Why have all the gas and movies from my computer suddenly disappeared?
Do you know they are all my hard work, painstakingly downloaded over ti?”
Bai Zhiqing snorted contemptuously, “Your hard work is these gas and movies?
Lu Tianxing, let remind you, this is a company, not your ho.
The company explicitly prohibits downloading any gas and movies on the computers, so I deleted them all this morning.”
“Impossible.
I set up a boot lock.
Did you sneak a peek at my password?” Lu Tianxing eyed Bai Zhiqing with suspicion.
“Sneak a peek?
Are you worth sneaking a peek at?”
Bai Zhiqing scoffed and said indifferently, “You forgot who set up this computer for you.
While configuring it, I had the IT departnt install a little software on your computer.
No matter what password you set, it will report back to my computer.”
“So, you an your computer is like the main server in a cyber café, constantly monitoring mine?”
Lu Tianxing’s eyes widened.
This woman was ruthless, monopolizing even his leisure ti.
“Exactly, no matter what password you create, it’s useless against , so save yourself the effort and just focus on working diligently for ,” Bai Zhiqing said casually.
Lu Tianxing felt utterly deflated, like an eggplant hit by frost.
Without gas, without movies, how was he supposed to get through the day?
Was he truly supposed to be the capable assistant to the chairman, as Bai Zhiqing suggested?
“Wife, that’s going too far.
Why not just fire ?”
“Why would I fire you?
You’re the bodyguard I hired to ensure my safety.
To prevent you from being distracted and possibly causing harm, I obviously had to do this.
The first rule of a bodyguard is always to be vigilant of any danger surrounding their employer.”
Bai Zhiqing seed quite pleased to see Lu Tianxing defeated, a faint smile on her face.
“Actually, you don’t have to be so pessimistic.
I did leave you a few gas.
How about playing Minesweeper or Solitaire?
These gas are great for developing intelligence.
Of course, you probably won’t be able to play them today.
See that stack of docunts on your desk?
Your task for today is to read through all of them and commit them to mory.”
“Wife, what do you an by that?”
Lu Tianxing shuddered on the inside, a foreboding feeling rising sharply.
It seed he had been manipulated by Bai Zhiqing.
“It ans nothing special, just that Assistant Lu has too much idle ti and I wouldn’t want people to gossip.
So, I’m giving you so work to do.
I assu you wouldn’t refuse , would you?”
Bai Zhiqing’s face showed a breathtakingly beautiful smile, the cold aura lting away as she beca like a goddess descending to earth.
One couldn’t bear to look away.
She even blinked enchantingly at Lu Tianxing.
“…”
The ancients said, “Lust is a knife hanging over the head.”
Today, Lu Tianxing understood the true aning of this proverb.
Faced with Bai Zhiqing’s thawing smile, he found himself sohow agreeing to her request to join Xue Man on a trip to Xiangjiang to look into Lin Hua Security Company.
More importantly, the general manager of this Lin Hua Security Company was no other than Zhao Lin, who had once tried to woo Bai Zhiqing with lies and received a harsh rebuke from him.
Lu Tianxing had intended to refuse, but a single sentence from Bai Zhiqing sealed all his escape routes, arguing that since he was her husband, he should, of course, do sothing for his wife.
If he were unwilling to go, then she, the chairman, would have to go herself to express the sincerity of the two companies joining forces.
Just that sentence blocked all of Lu Tianxing’s exits, leaving him without the chance to argue back.
To send Bai Zhiqing to Xiangjiang was like sending a sheep into a tiger’s den; on foreign turf, none of her influence could be exerted.
“Depressed, so depressed, I’ve been duped again.
But I have to say, the smile of an ice queen in thaw, damn, it’s captivating, as alluring as Rose,” Lu Tianxing mused as he walked out of Bai Zhiqing’s office, exasperated.
Didn’t Bai Zhiqing know that he and Xue Man always clashed?
Putting two incompatible people together could spell disaster, not to ntion, he also had friction with Zhao Lin.
Was she not worried that he might lose his temper and go after Zhao Lin?
