Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 274: Chapter 272 Bet (4th update)

”Pff, you call yourself a good person? I’d say you’re a complete villain, the type who wouldn’t last a minute in a movie.”

Lan Xin curled her lips, showing no intention of believing Lu Tianxing’s words.

”Lu Tianxing, can you tell me what exactly is the relationship between you and Mr. Bai? Why did Mr. Bai look so upset after the police took you away, and it seemed like he had cried? Most importantly, Mr. Bai, who never comes to work late or leaves early, actually left early in the morning for the first time ever.”

Lan Xin gazed at Lu Tianxing like a curious baby. Bai Zhiqing’s behavior yesterday was just too bizarre. She had been Bai Zhiqing’s secretary for over a year and had never seen her show such a fragile and helpless side.

Lu Tianxing was stunned, ”Mr. Bai cried? Stop joking around. You’re not just messing with me, are you?”

”What good would tricking you do me? If you don’t believe me, ask other people in the company. Many saw it. Tell me, tell me quickly. I promise I won’t spill the beans.”

Lan Xin walked up to Lu Tianxing, looked up at him with eyes sparkling with a strong desire to know.

”Do you really want to know? I’ll tell you, but you can’t spread it around.”

Lu Tianxing looked around as if he were a spy making a secret rendezvous, his demeanor full of mystery.

”Mm-hmm, tell me, I promise I won’t tell anyone, my lips are sealed, Lan Xin Little Beauty, that’s me.”

Lan Xin’s eyes lit up and she nodded like a pecking chicken, eagerly awaiting the gossip.

Lu Tianxing glanced around carefully, then whispered, ”Actually, I’m Mr. Bai’s husband. Think about it, if a husband gets taken away by the police, wouldn’t a wife be anxious? You must remember not to tell anyone. Mr. Bai doesn’t want me to talk about these things at work. I’m only telling you because we’re so close.”

”Come on, can’t you come up with a more believable story?”

Lan Xin gave Lu Tianxing a contemptuous glance, scoffed, ”As if you could be Mr. Bai’s husband. Even if Mr. Bai were blind, he wouldn’t choose you. The way I see it, you must be a relative of Mr. Bai. That’s why he was so flustered and anxious after the police took you away, afraid of how to explain it to your parents. After all, Mr. Bai is a woman, and it’s natural for her to be panicked in such situations. Lu Tianxing, I’ve realized that you’re really thick-skinned, not seeing yourself for who you are. A toad lusting after swan’s flesh, wishful thinking.”

A hand well played.

Looking at Lan Xin’s contempt, Lu Tianxing was speechless. This little beauty was definitely a hardcore fan of Bai Zhiqing. She had washed the ground so shiny and clean; I’d give her ninety-nine points, the one point I withhold is to keep her humble, keep up the good work.

”By the way, Secretary Lan, why are you stopping me today? Don’t tell me you’re so bored that you wanted to dig some gossip,” Lu Tianxing changed the subject and asked.

”As if I want to listen to your nonsense. If it weren’t for the chairman asking me to wait for you, I couldn’t care less about you.”

Lan Xin rolled her eyes and said, ”The chairman told me to tell you that after you arrive, you don’t need to go back to the office; just head to the conference room.”

Lu Tianxing was puzzled, ”What for? I’m not one of the company’s executives. Have you ever seen an assistant attend a company meeting?”

”How should I know? I’ve merely conveyed the chairman’s message. Besides, he told me to tell you that it’s up to you whether you go or not, but you bear the consequences.”

With that, Lan Xin said with a schadenfreude grin, ”It must be because you were taken away by the police yesterday, resulting in a considerable loss of honor for the company. So the chairman is holding a meeting to fire you, which is why he specifically asked you to attend. You’re screwed.”

”Fire me? That’s impossible. Have you forgotten? I am the chairman’s husband. Have you ever seen a wife fire her own husband from her company? It must be because they want to commend me for the partnership deal I negotiated in Xiangjiang a while back,” Lu Tianxing chuckled and said.

”Get lost, brat.”

When Lan Xin heard Lu Tianxing once again insulting her idol Bai Zhiqing, she immediately said with dissatisfaction, ”As if you’re fit for the chairman, why don’t you take a look in the mirror and see what you really look like.”

”Heh heh, don’t be so sure. How about we make a bet? I’ll go to the conference room, and I promise I’ll come out unscathed. If I win, you have to agree to do one thing for me. If you win, I’ll agree to do one thing for you, how about that?”

”What are you up to?”

Lan Xin looked at Lu Tianxing with a vigilant expression on her face.

Lu Tianxing saw Lan Xin’s face, which was full of suspicion, and thought to himself, this pretty girl is too cautious. It’s not good, not good at all.

”I’m just proposing a bet. If I enter the conference room and then come out safely, you’ll become my maid~servant, just serving me tea and water when there’s nothing else to do. If I get fired by the company, or transferred away from the assistant position, then you win, and I’ll agree to do one thing for you unconditionally, any condition will do, what do you say?”

Lan Xin didn’t speak but lowered her head in thought for a moment. Her eyes soon lit up with confidence—she didn’t believe Lu Tianxing could really stay in the assistant’s position, even with Lu Tianxing’s unclear relationship with Bai Zhiqing.

To her knowledge, she had never seen Bai Zhiqing show mercy to anyone in company matters. The reason Lu Tianxing hadn’t been fired before must be because Lu Tianxing was a relative of Bai Zhiqing, so Bai Zhiqing was too embarrassed to kick Lu Tianxing out. However, Lu Tianxing had been arrested by the police this time, which had caused a bad influence on the company. Surely this time, if he wasn’t fired, he would at least be transferred away from the assistant position.

”Fine, I agree. We should high-five on it so that neither of us can back out. Whoever backs out is a little dog.”

Lan Xin raised her palm.

”No problem.”

”Slap!”

Their palms came together, sealing the deal.

After retracting her hand, Lan Xin confidently said, ”You’re going to lose for sure.”

Lu Tianxing chuckled and replied, ”Little beauty, don’t be too confident. Have you forgotten who I am? Lu Tianxing, the chairman’s husband. She dares to fire me? What a joke. Just you watch with your eyes wide open and see what being domineering is all about.”

Lan Xin curled her lip and said disdainfully, ”You’re getting worked up over nothing. I bet you’re just some distant relative that the chairman didn’t even know existed until you popped out from some corner. Your family probably begged the chairman pitifully to find you a job. The chairman softened for a moment and reluctantly agreed, but didn’t have the heart to fire you, so she put you in the assistant’s position to keep an eye on you. But this time, you’re definitely screwed. Prepare to admit defeat! I’ve been eyeing an LV designer bag on Taobao recently—not expensive, just ten thousand or so. Get ready to bleed money!”

”My god, little beauty, you really have a dark heart. Robbing the rich isn’t even this ruthless. Ten thousand bucks? How about I warm up your bed in exchange for ten thousand, how’s that?”

”Go play by yourself. You don’t even qualify to warm my bed. If you admit defeat now and say that you’re the king of braggarts, I might consider letting you off the hook. What do you say?”

Lan Xin gave Lu Tianxing a sideways glance, her lips curving up slightly, her face filled with confidence.

”Admit defeat? I never admit defeat. I can still afford the ten thousand. As for you, little beauty, I suggest you go home and think about how to be a proper maid~servant, so you won’t be clueless when the time comes.”

Lu Tianxing burst into laughter, pinched Lan Xin’s slightly chubby cheek, and with her eyes full of embarrassed anger, he laughed heartily as he walked towards the elevator and headed to the conference room.
