Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

Capítulo 1673: Chapter 1666: Untitled Page

After hearing Cangwu’s words, the old man’s eyes flashed with a gleam as if he had thought of something, and he murmured softly to himself, “Using war to sustain war, how is this almost like Nie Kuangren back then… .”

“Master, what are you talking about?”

“It’s nothing.”

Upon hearing Cangwu’s words, the old man shook his head, looked at Cangwu, and said, “By the way, Cangwu, did you tell him to come to Qin Island when he has time?”

“I did. Young Master said he would come to see you when he has time.”

After hearing Cangwu’s words, the old man immediately laughed out loud, “Good, good, my grandson is finally coming to see me. Hahaha, good, good, then I will wait for him on Qin Island… .”

…

In Modu, in the chairman’s office of Bai’s Group.

Bai Zhiqing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, arms crossed, eyes fixed on the scene outside, but from her slightly dazed look, it was clear that her mind was not on the view outside but had flown elsewhere.

Sometimes, when you possess something, you don’t know the joy of having it, but when you lose it, you realize how happy you were to have it in the first place.

Bai Zhiqing felt this way now. Previously, when Lu Tianxing was by her side, she did not feel it was a big deal. However, after Lu Tianxing went to Beijing alone, Bai Zhiqing felt as if something had suddenly gone missing from her heart. Every day felt lifeless, and every time she closed her eyes, she would see Lu Tianxing’s carefree face.

“Tianxing, are you doing well in Beijing?”

Bai Zhiqing murmured softly, wanting to call Lu Tianxing but lacking the courage to do so. She knew that Lu Tianxing’s trip to Beijing was fraught with danger, and she feared that a single call might put him in a perilous situation.

“Knock!” “Knock!”

Just then, the office door was suddenly knocked from the outside, pulling Bai Zhiqing back to reality.

“Come in.”

Accompanied by Bai Zhiqing’s voice, the office door was pushed open from the outside, and Lan Xin walked in slowly, holding a folder.

“Mr. Bai, there’s a document here for you to review and sign.”

Lan Xin handed the document to Bai Zhiqing as she spoke.

Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath, took the document from Lan Xin’s hand, walked to her desk, sat down, glanced through the folder, found no issues, signed her name at the bottom right, and handed it to Lan Xin.

“Thank you, Mr. Bai.”

Lan Xin took the document and said to Bai Zhiqing, then seemed to remember something, turned around, and said, “Mr. Bai, have you been feeling unwell these past few days? You seem to have a very unhealthy complexion. Why don’t you go home and rest tonight? You don’t need to work overtime every night.”

After hearing Lan Xin’s words, Bai Zhiqing’s eyes flickered slightly, and she shook her head and said, “Secretary Lan, I know my body very well. I’m fine. If there’s nothing else, you can go out first!”

Upon hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lan Xin opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Bai Zhiqing’s frosty expression, she sighed inwardly and said, “Then, I’ll go out first, Mr. Bai. If there’s anything you need, just call me.”

With that, Lan Xin said nothing more and left with the document.

Watching Lan Xin’s departing figure, Bai Zhiqing sighed softly, resting her cheeks in her hands, staring at the corner where Lu Tianxing’s assistant sat, lost in thought.

After some time, the knocking sound was heard again, followed by the sound of the door being pushed open. Xue Man came in holding a folder.

Bai Zhiqing suddenly came back to her senses and quickly said, “Xiao Man, what brings you here today? Isn’t it after work hours? Haven’t you gone home yet?”

Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Xue Man shook her head slightly and said, “Mr. Bai, didn’t you ask me to inspect our affiliated security company a few days ago? Here are my thoughts after the inspection. Take a look and see if there are any areas that need modification. If not, I recommend that we retrain our security based on this plan.”

With that, Xue Man placed the folder in front of Bai Zhiqing. Bai Zhiqing glanced at the folder, chose not to look at it immediately, but smiled at Xue Man and said, “Alright, Xiao Man, now that it’s just the two of us in the office, you don’t need to call me Mr. Bai. Also, have you not been resting well these past few days? You have dark circles under your eyes. Maybe I’ve been putting too much pressure on you. How about I give you a few days off to rest at home?”

“Zhiqing, you’re joking. It’s probably because I got too excited after returning from inspecting the security company and wanted to finish this plan, so I didn’t rest.” Xue Man’s eyes flickered with a slightly disingenuous comment.

“Xiao Man, while work is important, don’t push yourself too hard. Ultimately, you’re a woman who will get married someday. You must take good care of your health. If the work can’t be finished today, it can be done tomorrow, there’s no need to rush.”

Before finishing her sentence, Bai Zhiqing sighed gently. She used to think that work was the most important thing in the world, but it wasn’t until she met Lu Tianxing that she realized there were countless things more important than work.

“Zhiqing, thanks for your concern, I will pay attention.”

Xue Man took a deep breath and said, “Zhiqing, could you please take a look at this plan to see if there are any loopholes? I’m planning to reform the security department, as our company is growing, and it’s inevitable that situations arise. The security department is a protective shield for the company, and it must be flawless.”

“Alright, let me take a look.”

Bai Zhiqing glanced at Xue Man, finally nodded, and without saying anything more, picked up the file on the desk and began to read it carefully.

Xue Man stood there, watching Bai Zhiqing’s lowered head as she read, and in the depths of her eyes flashed a hint of envy. During this time, she had indeed been engrossed in work, using it to numb herself, for only then did she feel she could temporarily forget Lu Tianxing.

At some point, Xue Man felt like the image of Lu Tianxing had already taken root deeply in her heart, growing into a towering tree, especially since Lu Tianxing left Modu for Beijing. Xue Man felt her heart seemed to be taken away by Lu Tianxing, constantly worrying about him and fearing any accident he might have in Beijing. Every night after work, she feared closing her eyes, thinking she might dream of Lu Tianxing in danger; these days, she relies on sleeping pills to force herself to sleep, as one can imagine, her spirit is naturally not great.

After a while, Bai Zhiqing raised her head and said to Xue Man, “Xiao Man, your plan is excellent and highly feasible. If these security guards improve their skills, each one would become a capable individual. But there’s a flaw in your plan: no matter how rigorous the training, there are no tangible benefits. To put it bluntly, many people join Bai’s Group for the benefits, and if you make them suffer without providing a reason, it will be counterproductive.”

“Zhiqing, do you have any good suggestions?”

“There’s only one suggestion: if we want to implement this plan, we must rank all security guards into levels, not just minister, deputy minister, and ordinary staff but more detailed levels, similar to the ranks among bodyguards. The higher the rank, the higher the monthly benefits and salary. Only this way can the plan be smoothly implemented… .”

Bai Zhiqing gradually elaborated her thoughts and various details.

Xue Man occasionally interjected, but mostly it was Bai Zhiqing talking and Xue Man listening.

“Zhiqing, I get it; I’ll come up with a detailed plan including assessments.”

“Mm, don’t overexert yourself; this plan isn’t urgent. Just don’t tire yourself out, and when your plan is perfected, the company will fully support you.”

“Zhiqing, I… .”

“Xiao Man, you shouldn’t feel a burden. Your plan is indeed excellent, and the company can use it to establish a new security company, promoting to various communities nationwide. You’ll have contributed significantly, and the company’s investment is just to gain more returns.”

It’s undeniable that Bai Zhiqing is a business elite, quickly spotting the business opportunity in Xue Man’s plan. Although security exists in all communities, their quality varies. If Xue Man’s plan succeeds, Bai’s Group’s security company could cater to ordinary and high-grade communities alike, leveraging Bai’s Group’s extensive network to quickly establish a top-quality security company, dominating the industry through word of mouth.
