32: Chapter 31: Please give a message to your mom for me.

“Eat, I’ll let you enjoy it, you bastard.”

Watching Lu Tianxing devour his meal, Xue Man felt a surge of displeasure.

A gleam flashed in her eyes and her lips curled into a sinister smile as she slowly approached him.

Catching the smile on Xue Man’s face out of the corner of his eye, Lu Tianxing felt a pang of alarm, inwardly cursing, “This is bad.” Ever since Bai Zhiqing and her group had walked into the cafeteria, he had been secretly watching them, particularly noticing the disturbing smile on Xue Man’s face.

He didn’t believe for a second that Xue Man would let him off easily—she probably had a plot in mind.

As Xue Man slowly neared Lu Tianxing, the malicious arc of her lips became more pronounced, and though she passed by him without any incident, it slightly eased Lu Tianxing’s tension.

Could it be that he was just being paranoid, mistrusting others through his own pettiness?

“Not good.”

Suddenly, Lu Tianxing felt a breeze from behind.

Without hesitating, he grabbed his tray and quickly shifted to one side.

“Ah!”

An ear-piercing scream erupted.

Xue Man had intended to make it seem like an accident by forcefully pressing Lu Tianxing’s head into his plate to embarrass him, but she hadn’t anticipated that he would move aside just as she thought she was about to succeed.

“Slap!”

Xue Man’s arm slammed heavily onto the table, almost toppling over it herself, her face still in disbelief.

This was not how it was supposed to go—the one supposed to be sprawled across the table was Lu Tianxing, not her.

This was scientifically impossible.

“Minister Xue, what are you doing?

Why are you lying on the table?

Could it be that you’re so hungry you want to gobble the table up?”

Lu Tianxing tilted his head, looking at Xue Man as if he had just witnessed something incredibly horrifying.

“You bastard.”

Xue Man’s face flushed with anger, and she gritted her teeth so hard they made a sound as she stood up, glaring daggers at Lu Tianxing, convinced he had intentionally humiliated her.

“Sorry, sorry, Minister Xue, I admit my fault.

If I had known you were going to fall, I would have stayed put.

How about you try again, and I promise I won’t move an inch?”

Lu Tianxing wore a sincere look on his face, seemingly genuinely considerate of Xue Man.

“You are shameless, you bastard.”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Xue Man’s face turned beet red, clearly infuriated, especially seeing the restrained chuckles of those around her, red-faced from holding back laughter.

She felt both angry and enraged, wishing she could vanish into thin air, so embarrassed she was.

“Little girl, you still want to see me embarrassed?

You’re still too green.”

“This bastard definitely did it on purpose.”

Seeing the victorious look on his face, Xue Man’s anger flared even more.

This man had tricked her again, intentionally making her look foolish.

“Lu Tianxing, you wait, we’re not done with this.

I won’t let this go,” Xue Man said furiously, glaring at Lu Tianxing before storming off towards the private room where Bai Zhiqing was, determined to complain bitterly about him.

Lin Qianru watched Xue Man leave in a huff, slightly amused, and apologized, “Sorry, Xiao Man is just temperamental like that.

I hope you don’t take it to heart.”

“No worries, a prime minister’s belly can harbor a boat.

I won’t stoop to her level.”

Lu Tianxing waved his hand dismissively, ignoring Lin Qianru as he lowered his head and continued to grapple with his meal.

Lin Qianru observed Lu Tianxing’s demeanor, a peculiar light flashing in her eyes.

She smiled tenderly, not minding his attitude at all, and turned to walk towards a small private room specially prepared for the company’s senior executives.

“Phew!”

Only after Lin Qianru had entered the private room did Huang Can, who had been keeping his head down, dare to breathe a long sigh of relief.

He spoke nervously, “That scared the life out of me.

Truly worthy of a senior executive personally promoted by the chairman, her presence is too intimidating.

Standing in front of me, I didn’t even dare to breathe too loudly, almost strangled myself.

Brother Lu, you are really bold, not even showing face for the chairman.

In Bai’s Group, you are truly unique.”

Lu Tianxing swallowed a mouthful of food and nonchalantly said, “What’s the big deal?

Let me ask you, isn’t the chairman a woman?”

“Isn’t that obvious?

If the chairman isn’t a woman, what would that say about the rest of the world?”

“Exactly, since she is a woman, why should I be afraid?

No matter how the world changes, ultimately, women still rely on men.”

“With your timid attitude, afraid to talk when you see a woman, I doubt you’ll even end up with the leftovers in this lifetime.

You need to see her as just another woman if you want the privilege of pursuing her.

If you enshrine her as a goddess, you are doomed to be hopeless forever.

Have you ever seen a spare tire successfully overtake the original?”

After pondering for a while, Huang Can shook his head vigorously, saying, “Forget it, it’s important to know one’s limitations.

My mom always said, ‘Your dreams should be as big as your capabilities.’ I know my own weight.

A man capable of taming a perfect woman like the chairman must indeed be an extraordinary figure.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Tianxing straightened up suddenly, adjusted his hair, and said earnestly, “Pass a message to your mom for me.”

“What is it?”

“Thank her for her compliments; I am truly flattered,” Lu Tianxing said with a smug expression.

“…”

Meanwhile, in the cafeteria’s private room reserved for company senior executives.

Bai Zhiqing, Xue Man, and Lin Qianru sat together, quietly savoring the cafeteria’s delicacies.

Xue Man had no appetite for the exquisite food on her plate.

Instead, she contemplated how to broach a topic with Bai Zhiqing.

After a moment of silence, she finally spoke softly, “Zhiqing, what do you think about the person who joined the security department yesterday?”

She and Bai Zhiqing were best friends.

At work, it was appropriate to address her as chairman, but after hours, there was no need for such formality, which would only distance them.
