Watching Jin Quan, whose expression was ashen as he was taken away by the police, everyone knew that Jin Quan was finished for life; even if he were to get out later, no company would be willing to employ soone who sold company secrets for money. Inevitably, a feeling of sorrow and empathy rose in their hearts.
Jin Quan, after all, was a key figure at Bai’s Group. Barring unexpected incidents, he might not be able to rise higher, but upon retiring, he would definitely receive a retirent package substantial enough to make people envious, possibly even obtaining shares of Bai’s Group, given Bai’s Group’s current status and position. Even if he only got one-thousandth of the shares, it would be enough for Jin Quan to live a carefree life post-retirent, without worrying about food, drink, or his descendants.
However, Jin Quan failed because of a misguided step, ending with a prison sentence, inevitably drawing sighs from people.
While sighing, everyone’s gaze fell on Bai Zhiqing, mixed with an undeniable sense of awe. During this period, Bai Zhiqing’s business trips with Lu Tianxing almost made them forget Bai Zhiqing’s Thunderous thods before eting Lu Tianxing.
At this mont, they finally recalled Bai Zhiqing’s style and attitude during her leadership of Bai’s Group.
Feeling the awe-filled gazes around her, Bai Zhiqing’s expression remained unchanged, accustod to such looks. Her voice, indifferent, spoke: "Rember what I, Bai Zhiqing, say today. I don’t care about how great your contributions to the company have been or how much you have helped the company. If you do sothing wrong, you must pay the price. I can tolerate you leaving during a crisis, but I will never allow anyone to stay and work against the company. I hope you rember Jin Quan’s lesson well; otherwise, don’t bla , Bai Zhiqing, for not showing rcy and being ruthless."
As her words fell, Bai Zhiqing’s sharp gaze swept around, an aura of dominance emanating from her, causing everyone who t her eyes to lower their heads subconsciously, not daring to make eye contact.
"Of course, I, Bai Zhiqing, am not such an unkind person. As long as you remain loyal to Bai’s Group, I won’t shortchange you. This ti Bai’s Group got through the tough tis thanks to everyone; this year, all salaries and bonuses at Bai’s Group will double. Additionally, Deputy Minister of Finance, Yuan Hao, will now be promoted to Minister of Finance. The deputy minister’s position will be filled from within the Finance Departnt by Minister Yuan Hao. anwhile, all traders and mbers involved in this stock market war will have their salaries and bonuses increased by five tis; extra rewards ranging from one million to ten million will be given based on rits. Minister of Finance, Yuan Hao, will draft the reward plan and submit the paperwork to ."
"Yes, Chairwoman, I assure you I won’t disappoint you." With Bai Zhiqing’s voice, a man about thirty stood up. He was Yuan Hao, the Deputy Minister of Finance, now looking at Bai Zhiqing with excitent.
Ascension from Deputy Minister of Finance to Minister not only boosts his status but also significantly increases his salary, transitioning him from a white-collar worker to a top-tier executive, especially in Jinling. It was inevitable for him to feel ecstatic.
After all, finding a high-paying job is a universal aspiration; years of determined study largely aim for admission to prestigious universities, followed by securing a good job upon graduation. A good job equates to high inco, and few can resist a lucrative salary; otherwise, no one would take risks for money.
Listening to Bai Zhiqing, others in the conference room gazed enviously at the thirty-sothing Yuan Hao, unable to conceal their admiration. Becoming head of the Finance Departnt at Bai’s Group at that age was an extraordinary achievent. Coupled with Bai’s Group’s flourishing status lately, so long as one doesn’t err and works diligently, this lifelong no-worry scenario about food and drink may lead to becoming Bai’s Group shareholder, enabling a life of leisure where enjoynt cos easily.
"I trust you will not disappoint ."
Bai Zhiqing’s gaze swept around as she spoke again: "I, Bai Zhiqing, have always been impartial in rewards and punishnts. Yuan Hao’s achievents today are thanks to his efforts, and you can achieve the sa at Bai’s Group, where talent always rises. If any of you have what it takes, I will promote you accordingly. But I hope you rember: I dislike people who work against their own company. Enough, eting adjourned."
With Bai Zhiqing’s words, everyone stood up and left the room. Xue Man and Lin Qianru also rose, exchanged brief greetings with Bai Zhiqing, and exited without further conversation.
In a short mont, the previously crowded conference room beca empty, leaving only Bai Zhiqing and Lu Tianxing.
After everyone departed, Bai Zhiqing’s face turned sowhat gloomy; her delicate face showed fatigue as she sat in her designated spot, looking a bit lost.
"Honey, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well? Should I drive you to the hospital?" Lu Tianxing asked, seeing Bai Zhiqing’s face.
"I’m fine."
Bai Zhiqing gently shook her head and slowly said, "Tianxing, do you think what I did this ti was too heartless? Although Jin Quan made a mistake, he has been an old employee of Bai’s Group, making significant contributions. Several tis when Bai’s Group faced stock market turmoil, Jin Quan’s assistance was crucial for getting through, yet now I personally sent him to prison. Don’t you think what I did was too heartless?"
"Honey, there’s no need to be too harsh, none of this is your fault."
Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lu Tianxing sighed softly and slowly walked to Bai Zhiqing’s side, saying, "Everything you’ve done is for Bai’s Group. If it were , I’d do the sa. In troubled tis, strict asures are needed. If you think Jin Quan rits consideration for Bai’s Group this ti and let him off, next ti when Bai’s Group faces danger, other employees will act recklessly, thinking that even if they betray Bai’s Group, they won’t be punished. What you’ve done is not at all excessive; it serves as a lesson to others."
"Really?"
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing’s eyes instantly lit up. She was truly afraid that Lu Tianxing would see her as a ruthless and heartless woman.
"Of course, it’s true."
Lu Tianxing gently stroked Bai Zhiqing’s hair, smiling lightly, "Honey, sit still, let give you a massage to relax, what do you say?"
"Massage?"
Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing reflexively stood up from the chair, looking at Lu Tianxing with a wary expression, "Lu Tianxing, what are you up to now? I’m telling you, this is a conference room. If you do anything inappropriate, don’t bla for being rude."
Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s wary expression, like looking at a rogue, Lu Tianxing felt exasperated. Did she really think he was a stud? Planning to start sothing in the conference room, heaven knows if soone might suddenly walk in. He certainly didn’t enjoy performing in front of others; if no one disturbed them, maybe it could be attempted, but clearly, not now.
"Honey, what are you thinking? I’m just noticing your face doesn’t look great, so I planned to use True Qi to give you a relaxation massage, what did you think I ant?"
Lu Tianxing rolled his eyes helplessly, pressing Bai Zhiqing into the chair, "Honey, don’t move, let show you the wonder of my ancestral skills."
After listening to Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing pondered slightly, eventually nodding, relaxing her body, leaning back in the chair, and slowly closing her eyes.
Seeing this, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Lu Tianxing’s mouth. He raised his hand and placed it on Bai Zhiqing’s temples, gently pressing.
Lu Tianxing controlled the pressure ticulously—not too light, not too heavy, not too fast, not too slow. A cool breath of True Qi dispersed from his fingertips into Bai Zhiqing’s body, instantly allowing Bai Zhiqing’s complexion to relax, showing a comfortable expression, her beautiful eyes involuntarily closed, quietly enjoying Lu Tianxing’s massage.
Ti ticked away slowly, after about ten minutes, hearing Bai Zhiqing’s rhythmic breathing, Lu Tianxing gradually stopped his hand movents. Looking at the now deeply asleep Bai Zhiqing, a faint smile appeared on his face, turning to sit next to her, watching the smiling, sleeping Bai Zhiqing, a warm smile spread across his face.
During this ti, Bai Zhiqing had been with him, whether in New York or Jiangnan, worrying for him daily. Even though they ultimately destroyed the Yang Family and Tang Family’s conspiracy, Bai Zhiqing had never truly relaxed, her spirit continuously taut.
Now, with the stimulation of Lu Tianxing’s True Qi, coupled with returning to Modu, the biggest worry resolved, Bai Zhiqing’s tense emotions gradually loosened, naturally leading her into deep sleep.
Lu Tianxing sat quietly beside her, admiring the face that countless won envied and countless n found stunning. Suddenly he recalled that his life’s dreams seed fulfilled—you know, a wife, kids, and a warm ho. Besides seizing the ti to start a family, there seed to be no greater pursuit.
"Phew."
Thinking this, Lu Tianxing exhaled slowly, a hint of bloodthirsty murderous intent flickering deep in his eyes, he murmured softly, "Next, it’s your turn, Heavenly God. Once I find your whereabouts, it will be your ti to die, I will surely tear you to pieces."
