Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 168: Chapter 167: The Person Behind (10th update delivered)

At Bai’s Group celebration of victory, in the president’s office of Zhang Group.

”Bang!”

An expensive ashtray smashed directly onto the handmade Italian carpet, shards scattering everywhere.

”Useless, they are all a bunch of useless trash, all this talk of international financial prowess, I see you’re all nothing but a bunch of trash, unable to take down even a small Bai’s Group, what’s the point of hiring you, useless, all of you are useless.”

Zhang Tianfeng, his face filled with rage, sat in his chair, his complexion grim to the extreme. Before him lay a laptop on which appeared a person wearing a God mask, gazing indifferently at Zhang Tianfeng.

Facing Zhang Tianfeng’s roar, the man in the God mask spoke dispassionately, ”We are useless, then what does that make you, Mr. Zhang? You’re nothing but a middleman, don’t be so arrogant. Additionally, considering our many past collaborations, I advise you not to provoke Bai’s Group again. They are not someone you can handle. It’s better to compete openly and honorably in business; otherwise, it will end up hurting others as well as yourself. Moreover, the deposit has been fully returned to your Swiss Bank account. Our cooperation ends here. Goodbye, or as you say in China, we’ll not meet again.”

”Son of a bitch, to hell with you, what the hell do you think you are, daring to speak to me like this, get lost, get the fuck out.”

Watching the computer screen go dark, Zhang Tianfeng flew into a great rage, grabbing a laptop worth tens of thousands from the table and violently smashing it to the ground. The laptop immediately shattered into pieces, completely totaled.

Zhang Tianfeng, without a glance, sat coldly in his chair, muttering to himself, ”Bai Zhiqing, oh Bai Zhiqing, it seems I’ve underestimated you. I didn’t expect there to be such a powerful force backing you. You got lucky this time, but next time, you won’t be so fortunate.”

Just then, the phone in Zhang Tianfeng’s pocket rang. He took out his phone and upon seeing the caller, a look of reverence instantly appeared on his furious face. He answered the call, respectfully saying, ”Heavenly God.”

”Young Master Zhang Tianfeng, I promised you, as long as you could help me destroy Bai’s Group and obtain what I want, I could help you become the head of the Zhang Family. You said you would suppress Bai’s Group in the stock market, thus annihilating them, and I had no objections, even providing you with sufficient funds. But is this the result you give me?”

The voice on the other end of the phone was calm, but it made Zhang Tianfeng tremble uncontrollably, a chill running through his body, his face showing intense fear, no longer arrogant, instead like a dog begging pitifully with its tail between its legs.

”Heavenly God, hear me out, it was just an accident, I didn’t expect that Bai’s Group had other forces backing them. But rest assured, I still have a chance. I have an unrevealed piece within Bai’s Group; as long as I make my move with them, I can surely suppress Bai’s Group. I’m begging you, please give me one more chance, I promise I won’t disappoint you,” Zhang Tianfeng said hurriedly.

There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment, then slowly the voice said, ”Fine, Zhang Tianfeng, I will trust you one more time. Remember this is the last time; don’t let me down, or I will let you know what my methods really are. I can help you become the future head of the Zhang Family, but can also leave you with nothing, becoming a real dog.”

”I understand, Heavenly God, I promise I won’t let you down,” Zhang Tianfeng quickly responded.

”I hope so, Young Master Zhang Tianfeng. Make good use of this last chance.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Tianfeng walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking in the direction of Bai’s Group with a ferocious glint in his eyes.

In the chairman’s office of Bai’s Group.

Lu Tianxing was increasingly finding that the phrase Zhang Wuji his mom said was absolutely true: the prettier the woman, the more deceitful she is. He was now thoroughly convinced of this proverb, as Bai Zhiqing had summoned him to her office and he had been sitting forlornly on the couch for nearly ten minutes now, yet Bai Zhiqing hadn’t mentioned a word about the bet, as if it had never happened.

Lu Tianxing decided to break the silence first; if he kept waiting like this, the time would be utterly wasted.

”Wife, do you still remember the agreement we had back in the finance department?”

”I do, what about it?” Bai Zhiqing lifted her head, a cunning flash in her eyes as she responded nonchalantly.

”Then shouldn’t you fulfill this agreement? You promised me that as long as I could help Bai’s Group through its difficulties, you would grant me a request.”

Lu Tianxing reminded Bai Zhiqing, his gaze on her, a lecherous smile on his lips as he pondered what to have Bai Zhiqing do later.

”Oh, why should I fulfill it? I just promised you that, I don’t recall agreeing to fulfill the agreement right now! So you can wait a little longer, don’t be anxious. When I’m in a good mood one day, maybe I’ll honor our agreement,” Bai Zhiqing said with a smile.

”Crap!”

Hearing this, Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but curse inwardly, feeling an urge to spit blood. What kind of situation was this? He had gone to great lengths to solve the problem only to end up without a single benefit. It was so unfair. If Bai Zhiqing weren’t his wife, Lu Tianxing really wanted to slap her dead for being so maddeningly tantalizing and getting his hopes up for nothing.

”Wife, this is cheating. Don’t tell me there’s no basic trust left between people?”

Lu Tianxing’s face was ashen as he moaned, slumped on the couch.

”Cheating? No, no, we didn’t stipulate that it had to be fulfilled immediately, did we? However...”

Bai Zhiqing paused, her curiosity getting the better of her as she continued, looking at Lu Tianxing: ”However, if you want me to fulfill our bet right away, it’s not impossible, only...”

”Only what!” Lu Tianxing’s eyes lit up, and he quickly asked.

”Only if you tell me who you really are, why you have such powerful friends. As long as you tell me all this, maybe I’ll be pleased enough to agree and honor our bet,” she said.

Bai Zhiqing’s heart was now completely overtaken by curiosity. She couldn’t fathom how Lu Tianxing, whom she had always looked down upon, turned out to be the savior of Bai’s Group. As the chairman of Bai’s Group, she knew a bit about finance and was very clear about the immense effort it would take to turn defeat into victory for Bai’s Group.

The fact that within a short time Lu Tianxing had managed to outplay Bai’s Group’s highly-paid financial traders without them being able to fight back at all demonstrated how formidable the other party’s strength must be. It was daunting just to think about how Lu Tianxing, with just one phone call, had turned the tide for Bai’s Group.

Lu Tianxing looked deeply into Bai Zhiqing’s eyes and said in a grave tone, ”Wife, do you really want to know all this?”
