Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 276: Chapter 274: Kicked in the Head by a Donkey

”Do you all think this way?”

Bai Zhiqing looked around with an icy demeanor, her pretty face as cold as frost, showing no hint of emotion.

Upon hearing the affirmations from those around him, Lin Yao’s smile grew broader, confidently saying, ”Chairman, collaborating with Zhang Group benefits us in every way and has no drawbacks. Why shouldn’t we, and with Zhang Group, jointly develop Tianhe Resort? With our capabilities and Zhang Group’s connections, we can completely finish building Tianhe Resort within two years. By then, Bai’s Group will be able to dominate Modu through Tianhe Resort, use Modu as our stronghold, and expand nationally, and internationally. Making Bai’s Group one of the top 100, even the top 10 worldwide wouldn’t be a problem.”

Lin Yao’s words were filled with seduction, causing many to look fervent and nod in agreement, thinking of becoming the company’s veterans where their treatment would surely double.

Hearing the people around her agree to collaborate with Zhang Group, Bai Zhiqing’s expression turned even colder. She knew that if Bai’s Group outright took over Tianhe Resort, their eagerness would look bad, making them a target for many companies, but she absolutely didn’t want to cooperate with Zhang Group.

Although she had verbally agreed to a collaboration with Zhang Tianfeng previously to secure Tianhe Resort together, the series of recent incidents made Bai Zhiqing abandon this plan altogether. She considered Zhang Tianfeng a venomous snake; cooperating with Zhang Group was akin to seeking the tiger’s skin—a slight misstep would lead to being devoured, bones and all. Moreover, with the issue of Zhang Tianci, Bai Zhiqing completely lost the desire to cooperate.

Just as she was about to speak, Bai Zhiqing heard a scoffing laugh erupt, ”A petty person remains petty, always speaking ill of others behind their back, short-sighted fools who only see immediate benefits. Collaborating with Zhang Group, are you all tired of living, dying too slowly? To come up with such a terrible idea, I fear that when the time comes to dominate Modu, expand nationally, and deploy internationally, it will be Zhang Group, not our Bai’s Group. I seriously suspect the one who suggested this must have a pig’s brain or has been kicked in the head by a donkey, utterly foolish.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd turned their heads to see who had the audacity to mock Lin Yao.

When they saw that it was Lu Tianxing, everyone was taken aback. Within Bai’s Group, everyone, from the cleaner Auntie to higher-ups, knew of the talented person Lu Tianxing was.

Bai Zhiqing’s assistant, who on his first day at the company had hit the vice director of the security department, arrived late on his first day yet not only avoided dismissal but became Bai Zhiqing’s close personal assistant. He was ambiguously linked with one of the company’s three golden flowers, Lin Qianru, and rumored to have had an ambiguous relationship with another, Xue Man, having once been seen embracing her in the office.

It could be said that Lu Tianxing had some unknown relationships with almost all three of Bai’s Group’s golden flowers: Lin Qianru, Xue Man, and Bai Zhiqing, which made it impossible for others not to remember him.

Bai Zhiqing was also startled; she hadn’t expected Lu Tianxing to speak up at this moment and to mock Lin Yao without any courtesy.

”Assistant Lu, what do you mean by this? Today, unless you provide a satisfactory explanation to the many senior executives here, even at the risk of not being the vice president anymore, I will have you kicked out of Bai’s Group to prevent you from corrupting our company’s atmosphere.”

Hearing this, Lin Yao’s face instantly darkened, and a cold light flickered in his eyes.

”What do you mean, don’t you understand, you scoundrel? Someone who only knows how to badmouth others behind their backs actually becomes a company’s vice president—I think Bai’s Group is becoming more and more degenerate. Are they planning to turn into a garbage shelter?”

Lu Tianxing slowly stood up and said with a cold laugh, ”Chairman, I suggest we fire all the company members who support cooperation with Zhang Group. Their actions clearly show bad intentions. Everyone knows Zhang Group is very powerful, not inferior to Bai’s Group, but have you ever used your brains to think about why Zhang Group possesses such great strength? What happened to the other companies that had once advanced and retreated together with Zhang Group?”

Lu Tianxing’s cold laugh swept over Lin Yao as he spoke indifferently, ”You don’t know anything, not a single hair’s worth, so let me tell you. The companies that cooperated with Zhang Group, regardless of size, without exception, either went bankrupt or dwindled from a first-rate large group to second-rate smaller enterprises and ultimately vanished from history, becoming mere dust.”

”Perhaps some might say, ’That’s just business! It’s a world where the strong prey on the weak, and it’s normal for companies to merge with other companies.’ I also think it’s normal. But do you remember Guangyu Group from three years ago? In terms of strength and financial power, which aspects of their group were inferior to Bai’s Group? Yet what happened in the end! They were swallowed up by Zhang Group within a year of partnering with them. You might say, ’This is a classic case of a small fish devouring a large fish, an inspirational story worth learning from.’ But is it really so?”

Lu Tianxing’s gaze swept around, waiting for the others to respond.

”Assistant Lu, isn’t it so? At that time, many newspapers reported that through the cooperation with Guangyu Group, Zhang Group greatly developed its comprehensive strength and ultimately realized a spectacular rise, successfully acquiring Guangyu Group,” one of the executives spoke up.

”A spectacular rise my ass.”

Lu Tianxing burst out with a curse, ”You just engage in armchair strategies. What’s the use of reading newspapers? You all mentioned before that Zhang Group has government backing. Changing the media narrative is no problem at all. To my knowledge, before Zhang Group swallowed up Guangyu Group, the wife of Guangyu Group’s chairman Zhang Yu was hit and killed by a heavy truck on her way home. The truck fled the scene.”

”And on the evening of the seventh day after Zhang Yu’s wife died, Zhang Yu himself leaped to his death from the roof of Guangyu Building, which is now Zhang Building. The media claimed Zhang Yu’s mind was disturbed by grief over his wife, causing him to fall to his death. But I want to ask all those present, would a man who started from scratch and built a major group have such weak mental resilience?”

”Of course, perhaps you will say it was because Zhang Yu loved his wife too much. However, the information I have gathered shows that half a year before his death, Zhang Yu’s marriage had failed, and they had secretly divorced. Zhang Yu was keeping several mistresses outside. Do you think a man like that would be that disturbed by his wife’s death? And Zhang Yu had only one son, who after his father’s death, immediately sold the shares at a low price and mysteriously disappeared. Those shares were acquired by none other than the Zhang Group that you speak so highly of.”

”Do you call all these coincidences? A small fish devouring a big fish, a truly inspirational story, don’t you think!”

Lu Tianxing’s mocking gaze swept over everyone, and he took a deep breath and said to Lin Yao, ”Vice President Lin, I have a question for you. Is your intention in pushing for cooperation between Bai’s Group and Zhang Group something else? Are you hoping our chairman also meets an untimely demise, allowing Zhang Group to swallow up Bai’s Group, with you hailed as a hero in this grand achievement, your future boundless?”
