Chapter 192: Chapter 191 Cold Encounter (4th Update)

”Wow, Lin Hua Security Company really does it big. Just look at this building, dripping with style. They must have a lot of money—no wonder they’re the first choice for Xiangjiang’s stars. If I were them, I’d brown-nose too. Hey, what’s going on here, Minister Xue? Why is this entire building covered in glass? I mean, imagine if one day the managers or assistant managers couldn’t resist doing something kid-unfriendly with their secretaries in their offices. They’d be completely exposed!”

Lu Tianxing and Xue Man stood beneath the towering Lin Hua Building, craning their necks upwards, clucking their tongues in admiration without caring about the strange looks they were attracting from around.

The Lin Hua Building, which was constructed under the supervision of Lin Hua Security Company, served as the company’s office space. Of course, Lin Hua Security only occupied a few floors; the rest were rented out to various other businesses. Moreover, thanks to the Zhao Family’s influence, the Lin Hua Building held a significant status. Almost every company housed in the Lin Hua Building had some level of renown.

”Lu Tianxing, can you tone it down a bit? I know you’re sleazy, but do you have to announce it to everyone?”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s remarks, Xue Man immediately felt a wave of irritation—this jerk kept ogling, and he had to vocalize his thoughts as if afraid others wouldn’t know how dirty his mind was.

The odd glances from people around them made Xue Man so frustrated she wished she could sew Lu Tianxing’s mouth shut with a needle.

”Did I say something wrong? Minister Xue, don’t you think I’m speaking the truth? I’m a hundred percent certain that the architect of this building is some old, ugly, perverse Peeping Tom.” As Lu Tianxing spoke, his gaze involuntarily landed on Xue Man’s chest, and he wondered, ”How did she manage that? Both sisters seem to have big chests; is there a special secret or something?”

”It’s actually you who’s the sleazy Peeping Tom.”

Xue Man looked at Lu Tianxing with disdain and reminded him, ”Lu Tianxing, remember this—whether or not our cooperation today succeeds, you must behave and stay by my side. Understand?”

Before heading to Xiangjiang, Xue Man had been tipped off by Bai Zhiqing to keep a close eye on Lu Tianxing, who was not only a pervert but also a troublemaker. He had been at work for only a few days and had already offended a slew of people. Who knew what trouble he would stir up entering Lin Hua Security next; a preventative warning was probably wise. After all, with the Zhao Family backing Lin Hua Security, offending the Zhao Family could mean not leaving Xiangjiang alive.

Upon hearing Xue Man’s words, Lu Tianxing responded with a grimace, ”Minister Xue, do you really think I like looking for trouble?”

Xue Man looked Lu Tianxing up and down, nodding inevitably, ”Am I wrong? Besides, Mr. Bai instructed this. If you dare cause trouble, she’ll have your hide.”

”No way! Minister Xue, are you telling me you’re a spy planted by Bai Zhiqing? I strongly demand a replacement.”

Lu Tianxing groaned. He had been hoping for a perfect romantic encounter in Xiangjiang! Now, it seemed hopeless. With Xue Man, Bai Zhiqing’s right-hand person around, even the number of times he went to the bathroom would probably be known to Bai Zhiqing.

”Whatever, if you’d like, I can call Mr. Bai now and have you switched out.”

Xue Man completely ignored Lu Tianxing’s wails and turned towards the interior of the Lin Hua Building.

The lobby of the Lin Hua Building was vast; almost all the companies that rented office spaces there had set up their reception desks in the lobby, so upon entering, one could see the names of various companies.

Xue Man glanced around and headed directly towards the area around the reception desk marked Lin Hua Security Company.

As the receptionist at Lin Hua Security Company saw Lu Tianxing and Xue Man approaching, a sweet smile immediately appeared on her face. She stood up and said, ”Hello, sir and miss, how can I help you? Our Lin Hua Security Company is a renowned security firm in Xiangjiang, having been invited by numerous celebrities as their personal bodyguards. Choosing us would definitely be the wisest decision...”

Xue Man patiently waited until the receptionist finished speaking, then she began, ”I’m sorry, we’re not looking for security. We are representatives from Bai’s Group here to discuss business cooperation with your company. Could you please contact Mr. Zhao and let him know we’ve arrived?”

”You are from Bai’s Group?”

The receptionist paused slightly, looking at Xue Man and Lu Tianxing with a curious glance, ”Please wait a moment, I need to call Mr. Zhao to confirm as we did not receive any notification of Bai’s Group visiting today. I apologize for the inconvenience. Please hold on.”

With that, she turned away from Xue Man and Lu Tianxing, walked to the side, picked up the telephone, and began dialing.

Hearing the receptionist’s words, a flash of anger crossed Xue Man’s face. From the receptionist’s words, it was easy to guess that Lin Hua Security Company had no intention of cooperating with Bai’s Group. What Zhao Lin and Bai Zhiqing had told them was merely toying with them.

Lu Tianxing stood beside, his expression unchanged, indifferently watching the receptionist’s actions. He had already been aware of this outcome and was curious to see what game Zhao Lin was playing.

After a good while, the receptionist finally hung up the phone and came over, ”I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. Mr. Zhao mentioned that he did indeed discuss potential cooperation with Bai’s Group, but it hasn’t been finalized yet. Moreover, Mr. Zhao is currently meeting with important guests and cannot leave right away. You are welcome to wait here briefly, someone will come down to meet you soon.”

”Thank you.”

Lu Tianxing led Xue Man towards the sofas nearby.

”Lu Tianxing, why are you pulling me? Zhao Lin is going too far.”

Xue Man’s expression turned ugly, and had Lu Tianxing not been holding her, she really would have stormed off.

”Minister Xue, stay calm, don’t get angry. The angrier you are, the happier they will be. Just sit down, have some tea, and watch how the clown performs.”

Lu Tianxing smiled faintly, now completely certain that all this was orchestrated by Zhao Lin.

As Lu Tianxing and Xue Man sat on the couch, ten minutes went by. It seemed the other party did not regard Bai’s Group highly at all. No one came to greet them, and they weren’t even offered basic courtesies such as a cup of tea or water, just left sitting there.

Just when both of them were growing impatient, they suddenly heard the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor. A stern man dressed in a suit, with an expressionless face, walked by their side. His gaze was chilling to the bone, his whole demeanor as if carved from cold stone, his eyes like sharp swords, carrying with them an intense oppressive force.
