Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 205: Chapter 204 Guangrong Department Store (Second Update)

Hearing Lan Xin say there was a problem with the cooperation in Xiangjiang, Bai Zhiqing’s heart tightened, but her face did not show it as she asked indifferently, ”What happened?”

”Just now, the manager of our Xiangjiang branch called and said that Lin Hua Security Company has canceled their cooperation with us. Apparently, Assistant Lu and Lin Hua Security Company’s General Manager Zhao Lin had a conflict at Lin Hua Building. However, the specific nature of the conflict is unknown.”

”What did you say?”

Bai Zhiqing’s face changed slightly as she asked anxiously, ”What about Lu Tian... Assistant Lu and Minister Xue, are they hurt?”

”Assistant Lu and Minister Xue are both fine.”

Lan Xin looked at Bai Zhiqing with some confusion, not understanding why Zhiqing’s emotions were fluctuating so greatly but still reported truthfully, ”Moreover, according to the call from the manager of the Xiangjiang branch, although our company’s cooperation with Lin Hua Security Company failed, Minister Xue and Assistant Lu were successful in reaching cooperation with Black Panther Security Company, and the other party has agreed to all our conditions. The contract has already been signed, and they will send a group of elite security instructors within a month to collaborate with us in training our new security personnel.”

After listening to Lan Xin’s report, Bai Zhiqing just nodded her head, maintaining her composure as she said, ”I see. Secretary Lan, you may go now. If there’s any issue in Xiangjiang, inform me immediately.”

”Yes, Chairman.”

Lan Xin seemed to have grown accustomed to Bai Zhiqing’s demeanor, quietly placed the documents on Bai Zhiqing’s office desk, and then left the office.

Once the office door closed, Bai Zhiqing stood up anxiously, grabbed the telephone on her desk, intending to call and find out what had happened to Lu Tianxing. But just as she picked it up to dial, Bai Zhiqing’s hand stopped.

What for? What to say?

Why was she suddenly worried about Lu Tianxing? Didn’t she hope that Lu Tianxing would disappear from her sight forever?

She and Lu Tianxing were nothing more than a ’couple’ in the legal sense, what could she possibly say if she called?

With these thoughts, Bai Zhiqing sighed deeply and gently put down the telephone, her gaze becoming lost as she stared at the empty assistant’s spot in the corner, zoning out with an unprecedented sense of loneliness as if she had lost something in her heart.

...

Another day began anew. In the early morning, a red sun rose slowly from the east, and its warm rays broke through the clouds, showering every street and alley in Xiangjiang, awakening the entire city.

In the hotel lobby, Lu Tianxing and Xue Man walked out of the elevator, one after the other. Lu Tianxing had a pained expression, pitifully following behind Xue Man with a groggy look on his face as if he had not slept well. Xue Man, on the other hand, seemed full of excitement, her beautiful eyes brimming with anticipation as if yesterday’s series of events had been nothing more than a dream, not affecting her mood today at all.

Xue Man had come to terms with the situation. Having already offended the Zhao Family, there was no use in regretting it, as there was no such thing as a pill for regret in this world. If the Zhao Family wanted revenge, let them come, she was ready to face it. There was no need to get sentimental over it. After all, there were taller people to deal with such things. Why should she worry or fear? You didn’t see how carefree Lu Tianxing was, eating and sleeping so well. She didn’t want to let the matter with the Zhao Family ruin all her good moods.

”I mean, Minister Xue, didn’t we already sign the contract? My tasks are all completed. What are you doing waking me up this early and dragging me out? Can’t you let me sleep properly? If you insist, we could head back to Modu.”

Lu Tianxing finally couldn’t hold back. It was barely past nine in the morning, and Xue Man had pulled him out of bed, under the pretense of exercising and breathing fresh air. This had to be a joke! Since when was there fresh air in the city?

Watching Xue Man leave the hotel full of enthusiasm, Lu Tianxing felt an ominous premonition.

”Sleep, sleep, look at what time it is now. If you sleep any more, you’ll really turn into a pig.”

Xue Man looked at Lu Tianxing with a face full of disappointment and said, ”You’ve arrived in Xiangjiang, don’t you feel anything?”

”Feel what, isn’t it just a bustling city? Hmm, and, there are quite a few beauties here, very pretty, a paradise for the rich.”

”You... never mind, you wouldn’t understand even if I told you. Your task for today is to accompany me on a shopping spree, crazy shopping.”

”Shopping?”

Lu Tianxing was taken aback, ”I’m not buying anything, you can go by yourself, can’t you? I’m not your boyfriend, there’s no need for me to carry your bags.”

”Who said it was about buying things for you? I’m in a good mood today, and considering what you did yesterday, I’ve decided to give you the opportunity to be alone with a beauty. Don’t you feel honored?”

”An opportunity to be alone with a beauty? Who? I haven’t noticed any beauties. Minister Xue, I might not be well-educated, but you can’t lie to me like this, I’m not blind, there are no beauties here.”

”Lu Tianxing, I’ve realized you really need a beating. It’s not easy for someone like you to grow up and still not be beaten to death.”

”Mutual feelings.”

”You...”

Xue Man glared at Lu Tianxing fiercely, ”I’ll ask you one last time, are you going or not? If you dare not to go, I’ll tell your wife that you tried to kiss me forcefully and even planned to molest me.”

”Why would you say that? Who knows if it’s you who thinks I’m handsome and deliberately wants to seduce me, but got rejected by me, so out of spite for unrequited love you plan to frame me,” Lu Tianxing retorted.

”You jerk, get in the car quickly, or I’ll start screaming ’pervert!’”

”Stop, stop. Minister Xue, I’m scared of you, okay? I’ll get in the car, do you have to be so ruthless?”

Lu Tianxing begged for mercy endlessly, and if he continued to argue with Xue Man, who knew what would happen. Although people say men and women are equal, when has it truly been so? If Xue Man shouted ’pervert,’ he believed the people around surely wouldn’t mind the opportunity to make themselves look good in front of a beauty.

Seeing Lu Tianxing obediently get into the car, Xue Man’s face immediately showed a triumphant smile, urging the taxi driver to hurry up and drive.

Guangrong Department Store was a famous shopping mall in Xiangjiang and a prime shopping destination for tourists. It offered a wide range of products for comfortable shopping. Lovers of shopping could freely pick from various brand fashions, casual wear, home goods, and electronics. With long business hours, tourists could select items leisurely and enjoy their shopping experience. Hence, it was a must-visit spot for almost every tourist in Xiangjiang.

Whoever decided it, all the female employees at Guangrong Department Store wore uniform OL (office lady) outfits, which hugged their curvy figures, revealing a clear outline of their silhouettes. Leaning forward just a bit seemed like it might show what shouldn’t be seen, the uniforms appeared somewhat short, and crouching down just a little seemed like it might reveal too much. Their long legs were extremely slender, giving visitors the feeling of having entered the Emperor’s palace, like an Emperor picking out beauties.
