Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 134: Chapter 133 Corporate Crisis

”Do you think I don’t want to stay here every day, drinking coffee and reading the newspaper?”

Lin Qianru gave Lu Tianxing a look and sighed, ”During the chairman’s hospitalization, a company appeared out of nowhere that seems to know our company secrets. We’ve lost several clients to them; they canceled their contracts with us, even at the cost of paying breach penalties. Now, it’s causing panic throughout the entire company.”

”How did they pull these clients? Could there be a leak of client information? Have you found anything? Could there be a traitor in the company?”

Lu Tianxing’s expression narrowed slightly; he sensed something unusual. This problem didn’t arise from nothing. That emerging company must have someone backing it; otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to oppose Bai’s Group, considering they’re as different from Bai’s Group as an ant is from an elephant.”

”I don’t know.”

Lin Qianru shook her head wearily, ”Generally, our client information is compiled by our sales department and then saved in the system. The IT department checked but found no viruses or Trojan attacks. I’ve secretly investigated other salespeople and didn’t uncover anything unusual. Luckily, the information about some important clients was compiled and entered into the system directly by me. In Bai’s Group, only the chairman has the authority to look into these materials, so at least those important clients’ information hasn’t been leaked. Otherwise, we’d have a big problem.”

Lin Qianru’s face was filled with gravity. Now is a critical time for Bai’s Group in competing with other companies for the development investment of Tianhe Resort. If Bai’s Group were to face this kind of credibility crisis, the investment in Tianhe Resort development might completely disassociate from Bai’s Group.

Not securing this investment for the resort wouldn’t history Bai’s Group, but it would be enough to cripple it; thinking about any significant development in the coming years would be wishful thinking.

”Is there anything we can do about this?” Lu Tianxing asked gravely, ”Although I’ve never managed a company, I understand the consequences of this issue.”

”There’s no way out; all we can do now is try to contain this news and lock down all client information. From now on, anyone who wants access to client data must have the chairman’s personal signature. Let’s hope it stops here!”

Lin Qianru sighed helplessly. It was a desperate measure. There are not a few in Bai’s Group who could access client data, besides the sales department, many executives can access it. A rash investigation would only worsen the situation, which is something she and Bai Zhiqing didn’t want to see.

”If there are troubles you can’t solve, maybe I can help you.”

”You...”

Lin Qianru looked at Lu Tianxing speechlessly and said, ”The best help you can offer is just to follow the rules and not mess things up for me. And, I’ll tell you, the vice chairman has just returned from an overseas inspection. Be sure not to cross him, or you’ll have to pack up and leave.”

”Vice chairman?”

Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned. Since when did Bai’s Group have a vice chairman? He hadn’t heard about it.

Lin Qianru, aware that Lu Tianxing never cared much about company affairs, patiently explained, ”The vice chairman’s name is Lin Yao. His father was once a key figure in Bai’s Group. Moreover, he graduated from a prestigious university’s finance department in the United States, which is why the chairman exceptionally appointed him as vice chairman. He has been abroad on inspections until just returning yesterday.”

”I know, but don’t you think this isn’t the time to talk about this? How about I help you forget these worries?”

Lu Tianxing looked at Lin Qianru and suddenly a wicked smile appeared on his lips. His hands began to mischievously roam, climbing towards two peaks, aiming to challenge their heights with his hands.

Lin Qianru’s body trembled, yet she did not resist, letting Lu Tianxing have his way.

Just when he was about to succeed, a series of urgent knocks suddenly came from outside the office, and an anxious voice followed, ”President Lin, there’s been an incident, another client has terminated their contract with us. Please come out.”

”What did you say? I’ll be right there.”

Lin Qianru’s face changed drastically, she abruptly stood up from Lu Tianxing’s embrace, straightened her somewhat disheveled clothes, and hurried out of the office without a moment to say anything to Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing, dumbfounded, watched Lin Qianru leave, his hand frozen in mid-air, clutching at nothing, on the verge of tears. He wished he could drag out the client who had canceled the contract and beat them savagely. Damn it, why would they choose this exact moment to terminate?

Just when he was about to succeed, everything vanished. It felt like finally meeting a beautiful woman in a bar, having drinks together, planning to go relax at a hotel, and just when you went to the restroom, she did too, and shockingly, she went to the same one, standing next to you to pee. The frustration was absolutely blood-boiling.

”Damn it, if I ever see you on the street again, I’ll make sure you won’t even recognize your own mother,” he thought bitterly, knowing that an unsatisfied man is the most terrifying.

After sitting in the office a while, Lu Tianxing realized that Lin Qianru had no intention of coming back. He stood up from the sauna, left the sales department, and took the elevator to the Chairman’s office. He habitually pushed the door open and walked in, assuming that it would only be Bai Zhiqing in the office at this time.

But upon entering, he discovered, aside from Bai Zhiqing, there was also a very handsome man. He was a mature man, exuding a steady aura, around thirty years old, dressed in a crisp suit with shining leather shoes, a Rolex on his wrist, and his hair meticulously combed, presenting the perfect image of a successful man.

The man, sitting on the sofa and speaking to Bai Zhiqing, frowned upon seeing Lu Tianxing burst in unannounced, ”Who are you, and who let you in? Don’t you know how to knock? Get out immediately, can’t you see I’m discussing business with the chairman?”

The tone was cold and haughty.

Lu Tianxing chuckled, casually lighting a cigarette for himself, and said to the man, ”Who I am is none of your damn business. Didn’t your parents teach you manners? Aren’t you supposed to introduce yourself before asking someone else’s name?”

If you’re polite to me, I’m polite to you. If you don’t respect me, I’ll treat you like trash. That’s always been Lu Tianxing’s principle. Respect me a foot, and I’ll respect you a yard.
