Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 167: Chapter 166 What Conditions Are Offered! (9th Update!)

The heart-stopping battle finally drew to a close, but its implications were far from over. After zealous analysis, it emerged that besides the mysterious force that appeared out of nowhere and vanished just as quickly after the battle, Bai’s Group had become the biggest winner of this financial war, with preliminary estimates suggesting that Bai’s Group had netted at least tens of billions.

Indeed, it was within these few short hours that Bai’s Group acquired the strength to be crowned the commercial overlord of Jiangnan.

In the finance department of Bai’s Group, everyone’s faces were flushed with excitement, their expressions filled with exuberant delight. They had actually turned the tide and won, and what’s more, they had raked in a substantial sum of money in the stock market.

”We won, Bai’s Group finally won.”

As cheers erupted around her, Bai Zhiqing felt utterly drained, collapsing into a chair, her whole body weak. Her beautiful eyes rested on Lu Tianxing, who was surrounded by the finance department’s traders in the center, revealing a look of immense complexity.

Bai’s Group had won, and the person who had turned the tide was none other than Lu Tianxing, whom she had always looked down upon. It was this man’s phone call that had changed Bai’s Group’s destiny, as well as the fates of all its employees.

”Who exactly is he, how many secrets is he hiding, and why can he summon such a terrifying ally with just a phone call? Is he really just a wage worker abroad?”

A series of questions surfaced in Bai Zhiqing’s mind; suddenly she found that Lu Tianxing had become an enigma, someone you simply couldn’t pin down, forever shrouded in mists of mystery.

Lin Qianru looked at Lu Tianxing, her beautiful eyes sparkling with a radiant glow, as if she had spotted a rare treasure. The corners of her mouth turned up subtly, her smile brimming with pride. This was the man she had set her sights on, and indeed he had not disappointed her.

Lu Tianxing was clueless about Bai Zhiqing and Lin Qianru’s thoughts, but he knew his head was about to explode with the pressure. With a gloomy face, he looked at the circling traders around him. If only he had known, he would have made that phone call in secret, instead of in front of so many people.

Now look at the outcome. After the battle, the finance department’s staff had gathered around him, eager to learn the identity of the mysterious force behind Bai’s Group’s victory, and hopefully, to get introduced.

”Assistant Lu, could you tell me who the trader behind the mysterious force aiding Bai’s Group is? They’re incredibly formidable; their tactics are so fierce, it reminds me of the Golden Finger Team that targeted the yen three years ago. The same style, the foresight that borders on prescient—it’s terrifying. We’re lucky they are our allies, not our adversaries.”

”The Golden Finger Team, it must be them. Without their incredible strength and similar style, who else could it be? To think that one day I’d be able to fight alongside my idols—I’m so excited, I’ve decided not to wash my hands for a year.”

”Assistant Lu, since it was you who invited them, does that mean you know the Golden Finger Team? Can you introduce me to them? I want to learn from them. Just introduce me, and I’ll take care of your breakfast for a month.”

”Get lost as far as you can, and to think you have the audacity to mention a month of breakfasts. Have you no shame? Assistant Lu, tell me! Look at me, don’t you think I’m overflowing with Spiritual Energy, a rare genius that comes once in a century? It would be a waste not to utilize it. Introduce me to them, and I have a sister, eighteen years old and incredibly beautiful. How about I introduce you to her for free?”

The finance department staff had turned into fervent fans, their eyes glittering as they cornered Lu Tianxing. To the entire financial world, the Golden Finger Team was a legend, an invincible one. No one knew how many people were on the team, or the extent of their financial resources, but it was certain that whenever they made a move, they would obliterate their opposition with overwhelming force.

The year they targeted the Japanese yen was the Golden Finger Team’s battle for fame, taking on a country—Japan—with the might of a single team, leaving Japan with no means to fight back. If not for America’s interference to provide assistance, the yen would now be worth less than a piece of scrap paper.

In the hearts of all financial traders, the Golden Finger Team was a legend, a deity high above.

Lu Tianxing watched the frenzied traders around him with a face full of cold sweat, never having anticipated that the Golden Finger Team would hold such esteemed status in the eyes of these fellows.

He had a confirmed understanding of the Golden Finger Team, even a quite familiar one. The Golden Finger Team was a subgroup of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps. These people didn’t possess unmatched strength or unparalleled martial prowess, but they did have wisdom beyond ordinary people and keen insight. This group had formed the Golden Finger Team, becoming the cash cow of the Netherworld Mercenary Corps.

Back then, the war against the Japanese yen was nothing more than the Golden Finger Team taking offense at Japan paying homage to war criminals, sparking a financial war as nothing more than a small warning to Japan. Yet, Lu Tianxing had never imagined that battle would be so admired and idolized, directly placing the Golden Finger Team on a pedestal.

Listening to the group around him introducing their sisters, cousins, and elder sisters, Lu Tianxing only felt a wave of scalp numbness and cursed the traders up and down in his heart.

”Damn it, seduction by beauty, can’t you be discreet in your actions, or just outright state your pitiful ways? Why say it to my face; doesn’t that make it uncomfortable for everyone? Can’t you see the cold light shooting from the eyes of Lin Qianru and Bai Zhiqing, who are standing next to me?”

Lu Tianxing was certain that if he dared to agree today, he would be in for a world of trouble.

”Enough, what’s all this noise? Everyone shut up,”

Bai Zhiqing’s icy voice rang out.

Everyone’s faces stiffened, and they subconsciously stood at attention, looking at Bai Zhiqing with respect.

”Look at yourselves, what do you resemble, a vegetable market? What’s there to be happy about? If Assistant Lu hadn’t asked his friend for help, Bai’s Group would have been gone by now, and you still have the face to rejoice. I feel ashamed on your behalf. However, seeing as how you all did your duty for Bai’s Group today, the reward of ten million for each person remains unchanged. But, each person in the finance department must write a self-critique, to properly reflect on today’s events,”

Bai Zhiqing’s expression was cold as frost, her voice devoid of any emotion, and a unique aura whistled out from her, oppressing everyone to the point where they struggled to breathe.

”Now everyone, get back to your posts.”

”Boom!”

People dispersed in a flurry, no longer daring to gather around Lu Tianxing, quickly returning to their positions.

Lu Tianxing watched his now-empty surroundings, his face still beaded with sweat, realizing Bai Zhiqing was seen as little different from a mother tiger in the eyes of these people.

”Manager Lin, you go back to your office first. Lu Tianxing, come with me.”

Bai Zhiqing’s beautiful eyes landed on Lu Tianxing, flashing a complex look before turning and walking away.

Lu Tianxing shrugged his shoulders, casting a meaningful glance at Lin Qianru, and scurried after Bai Zhiqing. She wanted to see him alone — did it mean she was about to fulfill their agreement between the two of them? What conditions should he propose? How should he go about it to appear distinguished and tasteful? Should he make an evil request? Would Bai Zhiqing explode in anger, would she hit me?
