Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 410: Chapter 408 Bai Zhiqing’s Anger

”It smells so good, really, the room of a beauty is different from where we stay, and this scent is purely natural, no additives.”

Just as Bai Zhiqing closed the door and entered the room, she heard Lu Tianxing’s loud exclamation. Her pretty face turned red involuntarily, and she cursed him silently in her heart for being a rogue.

”Spit it out! What’s the important matter?” Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath and said to Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing started to speak, ”Just now, I got a call, and I...”

Suddenly, Bai Zhiqing raised her head, her face covered with frost, interrupting, ”Lu Tianxing, if you’re trying to tell me that Lin Yafei, that witch, called you just now, and you’re suggesting that you should go out for a walk and then open a...room next door, save it, I don’t want to know, and I don’t want to listen. But I’m making it very clear to you, you’re not allowed to go anywhere tonight, you’re staying right here with me.”

Hearing this, Lu Tianxing immediately broke into a cold sweat. This woman’s imagination was just too wild. What was she even talking about? Right next door, there were two beautiful women sleeping, one of them available at his beck and call. Would he really forsake the near at hand to seek the far, and run off to Lin Yafei’s place?

”Wife, can you let me finish speaking before you jump to conclusions?” Lu Tianxing said with a wry smile.

”Go on, I’m listening.”

Bai Zhiqing’s pretty face showed no intention of thawing.

”Do you remember the ambush we encountered halfway today? I suspect there is a traitor in Bai’s Group. So, I called a friend for help to look into the recent movements of the high-level executives at Bai’s Group. Just now, my friend called me back, there’s news, and I think it’s necessary to inform you, my wife,” Lu Tianxing explained.

Upon hearing Lu Tianxing say this, Bai Zhiqing’s frosty expression began to soften gradually, slowly asking, ”What news do you have that you want to tell me in the middle of the night?”

”My friend found out there’s a traitor in Bai’s Group. It’s very likely that our itinerary today was leaked by them, and moreover, my friend has also discovered that recently, this person has frequently been in contact with people from Zhang Group. If I’m not mistaken, they probably even told our rival our bidding strategy for this upcoming contract with Bai’s Group,” Lu Tianxing disclosed.

”Who is it?”

”The vice-chairman of Bai’s Group, Lin Yao.”

”That’s impossible.”

Bai Zhiqing, upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, stood up abruptly, her face etched with disbelief: ”Lin Yao is a long-time employee of the company. I personally promoted him. How could he betray the company? Are you sure your friend isn’t lying?”

”I’m absolutely certain about this, with at least a ninety percent confidence that Lin Yao is the one who leaked our whereabouts this time.”

Seeing Bai Zhiqing’s reaction, Lu Tianxing sighed, ”Wife, people change. Although I haven’t had much interaction with Lin Yao, I’ve heard rumors about him. His abilities are outstanding, and with your endorsement, he had a status in Bai’s Group that was second only to the highest. He wouldn’t acknowledge anyone as his superior. But lately, you’ve sidelined him, even ignored him. What do you think that means to a proud person? They would probably think you don’t value them at all. With that mindset, how could they remain loyal?”

Bai Zhiqing fell silent, not replying. What Lu Tianxing said was true; the human heart is always prone to change.

After Lin Yao became the vice chairman of Bai’s Group, she did indeed value him greatly, even entrusting him with important company projects at times. He was even assigned to explore overseas market expansion opportunities, a clear sign of the high regard she had for him.

However, since Lin Yao returned from his overseas inspection, his arrogant attitude and vindictive nature toward Lu Tianxing had made her uncomfortable. A minor conflict with Lu Tianxing had led him to repeatedly attempt to use his influence to have Lu Tianxing fired and to spread bad words about him everywhere. He had even threatened her position as chairman. Such behavior is taboo in any company, let alone when Lu Tianxing was her husband. No woman could tolerate someone constantly speaking ill of her husband, calling him scum and garbage.

Naturally, her esteem for Lin Yao diminished. The Tianhe Resort tender project was directly taken out of his hands, leaving him only to assist from the sidelines.

The sudden fall from adored favorite to neglected afterthought is something that anyone would struggle with, let alone Lin Yao, who saw himself as the future master of Bai’s Group.

Watching Bai Zhiqing’s expression, Lu Tianxing lit a cigarette for himself and slowly said, ”Wife, you should understand now. Lin Yao has always been narrow-minded. When you valued him, it naturally fostered his arrogant ambition. He believed that he was the main contributor to Bai’s Group’s success and that he was the true leader of Bai’s Group, with everyone else there to serve him. But when he suggested firing me and you repeatedly refused him, it made him uncomfortable. Particularly for someone who saw himself as the future master of Bai’s Group, it would naturally breed a feeling of resentment, as if Bai’s Group owed him something. If someone were to guide him at that point, offering substantial benefits, betrayal would be within expectations. That’s the terrifying nature of human hearts.”

”But why would he do such a thing? What benefit does it bring him?”

”That, I don’t know. I am not him.”

”Damnable, truly damnable.”

Bai Zhiqing’s eyes turned icy cold, a sharp anger flashing through them.

Lin Yao, the man she had once promoted, had betrayed Bai’s Group at the most critical moment. Had it not been for Lu Tianxing, Bai’s Group would have likely ended in utter defeat.

”Alright, wife, don’t be angry. It’s not worth it for a piece of trash. At worst, we’ll just kick him out of the company.”

Lu Tianxing let out a slight sigh, knowing that Bai Zhiqing was in a terrible mood. After all, Lin Yao was someone she had personally promoted and entrusted with important tasks; his betrayal was not easy for anyone to accept.

After all, people have emotions. Long associations can even lead to attachments to a cat or a dog.

Lu Tianxing understood Bai Zhiqing’s current feelings of anger and self-mockery at being betrayed.

”Alright, wife, don’t dwell on it. People change; the world is unpredictable. Keep your heart open. Without Lin Yao, Bai’s Group is still Bai’s Group; it won’t fall. Besides, didn’t we successfully secure the Tianhe Resort project this time? Cheer up. It’s not worth ruining your mood over garbage.”

Lu Tianxing approached, gently putting his arm around Bai Zhiqing’s shoulder, letting her lean on him.

Bai Zhiqing did not reject Lu Tianxing’s embrace but instead rested her head on his shoulder. Perhaps in this moment, she could find a bit of warmth and a sense of security.
