Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Chapter 1528: Chapter 1521: Is Luan Hongyue Leaving?

As the words fell, Bai Zhiqing said no more, immediately turning to walk inside Bai’s Group, completely ignoring the journalist crowd extending their microphones.

To ordinary people, these journalists are the uncrowned kings, not to be easily offended, for their pens can kill without seeing blood. But to Bai Zhiqing, these journalists are just journalists, not uncrowned kings. She doesn’t mind journalists speaking truthfully because real news is the first virtue of a journalist; however, if they embellish and talk nonsense, she does not mind letting them know the consequence of offending a company’s chairman.

As for sympathizing with the weak, if a person does something wrong, punishment is inevitable, regardless of whether they are weak or strong. If the weak can avoid punishment for wrongdoing, it’s a societal tragedy.

Although Bai Zhiqing’s words were icy, lacking much courtesy, they still made those journalists with invitations beam with joy, eagerly swarming towards Bai’s Group entrance security personnel. If they get in early, they might grab a good spot, and a good spot means an opportunity to ask Bai Zhiqing questions, which is a pathway to promotion and a pay raise.

At the same time, Lu Tianxing, Bai Zhiqing, and Lin Qianru stepped into the elevator, heading to the news conference upstairs.

”Phew, those journalists really are crazy. If there weren’t security, I bet they’d devour us.”

Lu Tianxing let out a long sigh after entering the elevator; he had never seen such madness, it felt as if they weren’t looking at people but a crowd of walking delicacies.

”Of course, now in their eyes, we are walking money. Getting first-hand news means bonuses and promotions, and these journalists are mostly grassroots staff, they can’t resist this opportunity.” Lin Qianru said to Lu Tianxing with a smile, her expression unchanged, clearly accustomed to such situations.

”Qianru is right; these journalists will ask any question for money, and even set traps in their words. When you fall into their traps, even a sentence will be exaggerated as much as possible. Hence, dealing with these journalists requires extreme caution, otherwise, you might find yourself in heaps of trouble, given how terrifying public opinion can be.” Bai Zhiqing added, her perception of journalists not very favorable.

Though some journalists are devoted and truthful, most excel at making mountains out of molehills, turning trivial matters into earth-shattering events, as if you’ve committed a monstrous wrong.

If it weren’t absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t choose to hold a news conference.

The elevator ascended and finally stopped at the tenth floor, where this news conference was set, a venue often used by Bai’s Group.

Bai Zhiqing, Lu Tianxing, and Lin Qianru stepped out and quickly moved to a nearby lounge beside the news conference venue, awaiting the event.

Upon entering the lounge, Lu Tianxing felt a spark in his eyes, his gaze instinctively falling on two enchanting figures in front.

Luan Hongyue and Lin Yafei were sitting on the sofa chatting, and upon seeing Lu Tianxing and the others enter, they rose promptly, a gentle smile on their charming faces.

”My old friend, you’ve finally come, I thought you couldn’t get up this morning!”

Seeing Lu Tianxing, Lin Yafei smiled radiantly, getting up and approaching him with a fragrant breeze, cheekily blowing air on his face like a flirty woman, saying, ”Old friend, was last night comfortable? Did Qianru and Zhiqing accompany you? By the way, how was the situation last night, tell me.”

Upon hearing Lin Yafei’s unabashed words, Lu Tianxing’s face instantly darkened; let alone sleeping together, last night he barely avoided an empty room.

Lin Qianru’s cheeks reddened at Lin Yafei’s straightforwardness, clearly recalling last night’s frenzy.

Bai Zhiqing glared at Lin Yafei in annoyance, saying displeased, ”Lin Demon, do you think everyone is like you? Don’t forget why I called you here today, it’s not for chitchat, if you dare spread nonsense at the news conference, watch out, I won’t hesitate to toss you from the tenth floor, believe it?”

Lin Yafei was utterly indifferent to Bai Zhiqing’s attitude. They were university classmates, and longtime best friends, knowing Bai Zhiqing’s temperament well. To others, Bai Zhiqing might seem annoyed or angry, but those familiar with her knew she wasn’t actually mad.

”Young Master, Mr. Bai, Qianru.”

Luan Hongyue stepped forward, glanced at Lu Tianxing without pause, continuing to greet Bai Zhiqing and others.

”Hong Yue, are you really decided? This job isn’t as easy as you think; it’s exhausting, have you thoroughly considered? If you regret now, it’s still time. Once the news conference starts, the chance to back out is gone.” Bai Zhiqing sighed, speaking slowly upon seeing Hong Yue.

”Zhiqing, I’m aware, but I am determined. Despite the hardship, it’s perfect for me to escape this city’s hustle and bustle.” Hong Yue smiled at Bai Zhiqing.

”Alright then! At the conference, I’ll announce it.”

Bai Zhiqing shot a deep glance at Hong Yue, choosing not to persuade further.

Lu Tianxing listened to Bai Zhiqing and Hong Yue’s conversation, feeling baffled, unclear about the job’s nature. What’s not easy, why exhausting? He couldn’t grasp the situation.

Instinctively, Lu Tianxing looked at Lin Qianru, hoping for her explanation.

Sensing Lu Tianxing’s confusion, Lin Qianru began explaining gently, ”Tianxing, since you were out yesterday, we discussed with Zhiqing about establishing a charity foundation. Bai’s Group participated in various charitable activities before, but wasn’t solely its own, so we plan to merge with Rose’s charity foundation, establishing a new one aimed at aiding impoverished children and severely ill individuals unable to seek treatment due to financial constraints.”

”Initially, we sought someone to manage this foundation, but finding outsiders might lead to temptations concerning large sums of money, and requires traveling across China to comprehend local situations. This person must endure hardships. After much deliberation, Hong Yue volunteered as manager; it’s what Zhiqing referred to, Hong Yue will be the foundation’s president.”

After hearing Lin Qianru’s explanation, Lu Tianxing looked at Hong Yue in surprise, puzzled by her choice to leave Bai’s Group and become the foundation’s president. If Bai Zhiqing truly founded such a foundation, its president isn’t merely office-bound, but must travel across, penetrating impoverished regions; the challenges are immense, even men struggle, let alone a woman.

Lu Tianxing, about to speak, heard crisp footsteps outside as Lan Xin entered in her OL uniform, addressing Bai Zhiqing, ”Mr. Bai, invited journalists are inside the news conference venue, may it begin now?”

”Let’s start now!”

Bai Zhiqing nodded to Lan Xin, turned and headed outside the lounge.

Lin Qianru, Hong Yue, and others followed her promptly into the news conference hall.

”Aren’t you going, old friend?” Lin Yafei glanced at immobile Lu Tianxing, smiling.
