Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 163: Chapter 162: High-Five to Swear (Fifth Release Delivered)

”You...you...”

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s undisguised mockery, Lin Yao trembled with rage, his face turning ashen as he glared at Lu Tianxing, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, wishing he could grind Lu Tianxing into dust.

”Enough, stop arguing.”

All of a sudden, Bai Zhiqing spoke up, her voice brooking no argument: ”Vice Chairman Lin, Lu Tianxing is my assistant, and naturally, where I am, he is too. Vice Chairman Lin, take everyone else out, stay at your posts, and don’t cause any trouble. Otherwise, don’t blame me for disregarding our years of acquaintance. Manager Lin, I remember you once studied finance, you stay here. Minister Xue, go back to security and arrange for the guards to patrol. Strictly forbid anyone from causing disturbances during the company’s crisis. Whoever dares to spread rumors, let him pack his things and get as far as he can.”

Bai Zhiqing’s voice was filled with iciness, void of any emotion, exerting immense pressure.

”Yes, Chairman, I will leave now.”

Reluctantly, Lin Yao responded, his eyes darkly sweeping over Lu Tianxing as he scoffed and led the many senior executives out of the finance department.

”Assistant Lu, what are you doing here?”

After everyone had left, Bai Zhiqing frowned as she looked at Lu Tianxing.

”I heard there was a problem in the company, so I came to see what was going on. After all, I am the Chairman’s assistant and a member of the company. Of course, I must perform well,” Lu Tianxing replied with a faint smile, though a thought flashed through his mind.

It seemed that the opponent had come prepared. Just yesterday, there had been a leak of client data, followed quickly by an avalanche of adverse news about Bai’s Group online, then the company’s stock was targeted. A combination of punches had been thrown, supported by substantial finances. The opponent’s intentions were clear: even if they couldn’t take down Bai’s Group, they intended to cripple it beyond recovery.

”Chairman, the situation is worsening. The opponent has intensified their attack, and we’re struggling to hold on,” suddenly a panicked voice rang out in the finance department.

”What’s happening?” Bai Zhiqing’s face changed, and she asked sternly.

”Chairman, the opponent has increased their financial investment. Our financial chain can barely keep up, and moreover, other companies in Modu, including Zhang Group and a few others, have turned against us, attacking our stock. Moreover, the opponent’s operators are very shrewd. If I’m not mistaken, they are all renowned international financial operators,” a middle-aged man with glasses stood up and said, sweating profusely.

Financial operators are the last people any publicly traded company wants to encounter, especially these internationally renowned ones. These individuals have no fixed profession or company, acting solely on employment, targeting several companies’ stocks to make money.

These people do not strike often, but when they do, it is with thunderous might, leaving no chance for recovery. Often, they can crush you, rendering you incapable of fighting back—merciless executioners who can drive someone to ruin without shedding blood.

”You must stabilize the situation, no matter what. Since they are increasing their funds, we will increase ours as well. I, Bai Zhiqing, have weathered great storms. If we get through this, each of you will receive a bonus of ten million,” Bai Zhiqing said coldly.

”Chairman, please don’t be reckless.”

Lin Qianru exclaimed from the side: ”We have already invested a large amount of capital. If we invest more, our funds will run dry. If it really comes to it, we should seek help from the authorities!”

”It’s useless. Since the opponent dared to target Bai’s Group, they have considered everything. I think there are many in Modu who wish Bai’s Group would disappear forever.”

Bai Zhiqing’s face flashed a self-deprecating smile, and she gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, ”You don’t need to worry about anything else, just do as I say. We absolutely cannot lose this time. If we lose, we will have no hope left.”

”How could we possibly lose? Have you guys forgotten about handsome and suave me?”

At that moment, a smug voice rang out.

Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru were taken aback and turned their heads to see Lu Tianxing sitting in a chair, striking a thinker’s pose. They were speechless. What was he up to this time?

”Assistant Lu, don’t talk nonsense. Now is not the time for your antics. I know you’ve worked abroad and have some savings, but how much could you possibly have? A hundred thousand, a million, ten million? Here, that amount of money is like a grain of sand on the beach, so insignificant and useless,” Lin Qianru said to Lu Tianxing in a grave voice.

”Do you really have a way to help Bai’s Group survive this crisis?”

Bai Zhiqing furrowed her brows. After so many days together, she knew well that this man might seem irresponsible, but at least he wouldn’t drop the ball when it mattered most.

”Chairman, no, the stock market isn’t child’s play. Assistant Lu doesn’t understand stocks at all. It would be useless to let him handle it,” Lin Qianru interjected.

It wasn’t that Lin Qianru didn’t trust Lu Tianxing, but she didn’t want him to get into trouble. At this point, to put it harshly, Bai’s Group was at the end of its rope. Winning was harder than reaching the sky unless God lent a hand or the opponent’s funding chain broke.

”Manager Lin, do you still not trust me? I, Lu Tianxing, never fight a battle I’m not sure of winning.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Lin Qianru, his lips slightly curled up into a confident smile.

Seeing Lu Tianxing’s smile, Lin Qianru shivered, a peculiar feeling flashing across her eyes. Lu Tianxing’s gaze was filled with absolute confidence, just like the smile he had when she first saw him face the hijackers on the plane, exuding confidence in any situation.

Watching the exchange of glances between Lu Tianxing and Lin Qianru, Bai Zhiqing felt very annoyed, and her expression gradually grew darker as she said with an icy tone, ”Assistant Lu, I can give you one chance. If you fail, you resign, and leave Bai’s Group forever. How about it?”

Lu Tianxing shivered; Bai Zhiqing’s words were chilling, cold enough to feel like the dead of winter.

”What if I win?”

”If you win, I can agree to one of your conditions.”

”Any condition? Are you sure?”

Lu Tianxing’s face revealed a sly smile as his gaze covertly swept over Bai Zhiqing’s prominent Holy Maiden Peak, his suggestive look making Bai Zhiqing’s cheeks flush with a hint of red.

”Any condition, but that’s provided you can win,” Bai Zhiqing said, biting her lip.

”Deal, let’s seal it with a high five.”

”Smack!”

Lu Tianxing’s palm and Bai Zhiqing’s palm came together, sealing the agreement.
