Chapter 135: 134

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s blunt words, the man’s face immediately turned very ugly. He was the Vice Chairman of Bai’s Group; everyone who met him was polite and deferential, desperately trying to please him. Even Bai Zhiqing wouldn’t dare speak to him with such a tone.

Lu Tianxing daring to speak to him with such a tone was simply asking for death.

The man gave Lu Tianxing a cold glance and then said to Bai Zhiqing, "Zhiqing, who is he? Is he also an employee of our company? I wasn’t aware that our company had such a mannerless employee who would dare to barge into the chairman’s office."

Bai Zhiqing was seriously looking through the documents in her hand, as if she hadn’t heard the man’s words.

An employee of our company?

Hearing this remark, Lu Tianxing felt a wave of annoyance, followed by a wry smile. It seemed that his bargain of a wife was really hot property, attracting suitors wherever she went.

Lu Tianxing was almost certain this guy definitely had designs on his wife. With that being the case, there was no need to be polite.

With a sneer, Lu Tianxing walked straight to Bai Zhiqing’s desk, without thinking, picked up a cup of coffee from the desk and took a sip, making a tsk-tsk sound of appreciation, then cast a provocative glance at the man.

Although Bai Zhiqing did not speak, she kept an eye on Lu Tianxing from the corner of her eye. When she noticed Lu Tianxing drinking coffee from her cup, a faint blush appeared on her pretty face. Far from getting angry, she actually felt a surge of joy inside. Was Lu Tianxing getting jealous on her behalf?

Seeing the cup in Lu Tianxing’s hand, the man’s face turned gloomy in an instant, his gaze sweeping toward Lu Tianxing with a hint of menace.

However, the change in his expression lasted only for a moment; he quickly regained his composure, stood up, walked up to Lu Tianxing, and extended his hand, "Hello, my name is Lin Yao, Vice Chairman of Bai’s Group, a good friend of Zhiqing at the company. I’m very pleased to meet you."

"Lu Tianxing, Chairman’s Assistant, and the man who might very well become the Chairman’s future husband. I’m also very pleased to meet you. I didn’t expect to find such a talented individual as Vice Chairman Lin in my company. It’s truly a cause for celebration. Vice Chairman Lin, rest assured, once I marry the Chairman and become the man of this company, I will make sure you’re not shortchanged. Work hard—I’m counting on you."

Lu Tianxing extended his hand to shake Lin Yao’s, then patted him firmly on the shoulder, with a look that said he valued him greatly.

A look of disgust flashed in Lin Yao’s eyes, discreetly stepping back, "Assistant Lu, aren’t you afraid the Chairman will get angry with such jokes? By the way, Assistant Lu, if you don’t have anything important, would you mind stepping out? I need to discuss the company’s development with the Chairman, it involves company secrets and is not suitable for outsiders to be present."

"Outsiders? Vice Chairman Lin, are you referring to yourself?"

Lu Tianxing blinked his eyes, looking innocently at Lin Yao, "I’m Zhiqing’s future husband, the future man of this company, so I am not an outsider. Also, the Chairman once told all our employees to treat the company like another home. Since that’s the case, shouldn’t I be able to stay in my own home? Vice Chairman Lin, don’t worry, I won’t disturb you two. You can carry on with your talk; just ignore me. Consider me a puff of air—I’ll just watch and not speak."

"Pfft!"

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s innocent words, Bai Zhiqing, who had been pretending to look down at her documents, couldn’t help but ’pfft’ burst into laughter.

Seeing both of their gazes fall on her, Bai Zhiqing coughed twice, her smile disappearing, and with an ice-cold expression, she closed the document in her hands and slowly said, "Vice President Lin, I have looked over the file you gave me, and I’m not going to agree to fire Manager Lin Qianru. The client data leak has nothing to do with Manager Lin."

"Motherfucker, this bastard actually wants to fire Lin Qianru, screw you~ big~ bro~."

Lu Tianxing returned to his seat and was just about to sit when he heard Bai Zhiqing’s words, and his heart suddenly became extremely annoyed. This asshole wanted to steal his thunder, and now, motherfucker, even wanted to fire Lin Qianru. If Lin Qianru left Bai’s Group, where would he go to tease Lin Qianru in the future? Go tease the hot-tempered Xue Man? Wouldn’t that be like seeking death? He wanted to live a few more years!

"It seems I need to find some time to seriously deal with this guy, to warn him not to look for trouble when there’s none."

A thought flashed through Lu Tianxing’s mind, and at once, he pricked up his ears, listening carefully.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing reject his suggestion, Lin Yao hurriedly spoke up, "Zhiqing, no, Chairman, you doing this, isn’t it a bit out of line with the company’s regulations? The leak of customer data this time must have something to do with the sales department, after all, it’s their people who input these customer details into the system, and who knows if they made backups. Even if this matter is unrelated to Manager Lin, she has the unwritten crime of lax supervision and is not suitable to continue sitting as the sales department manager."

"Vice President Lin, do you really not understand what I am saying? I said this incident has nothing to do with the sales department. Lax supervision? Vice President Lin, I am very curious how you can be so sure that it was someone from the sales department who leaked the customer data, and not someone else. As far as I know, the only people who can access these customer details, besides myself and the sales department, is you, Vice President Lin! Moreover, just yesterday you came back from an inspection in the United States, and then the leak of customer data happened. With that said, aren’t you even more suspicious?"

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lin Yao indifferently. Though her tone was calm, it carried an aggressive momentum that left one speechless.

"Are you suspecting me by saying this?"

Lin Yao’s face turned ugly.

"Not just you, anyone who could access the customer data is worth suspecting. You want to fire Manager Lin for her lack of supervision, so if Manager Lin is my subordinate, does that mean I also lack supervision, and you plan to fire me as well?"

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lin Yao indifferently. She appreciated Lin Yao’s talent, but that was no excuse for him to overstep his bounds. After all, Lu Tianxing was her husband, and Lin Qianru was her close friend. Lin Yao dared to tell Lu Tianxing to get lost and was proclaiming he would fire Lin Qianru. Clearly, he was taking her too lightly.

"Way to go, wife! You did splendidly; I give you 32 thumbs up. If you don’t mind, I’ll volunteer to warm your bed tonight and serve you."

Seeing Lin Yao’s face turn the color of a pig’s liver, Lu Tianxing felt a secret thrill, enjoying the schadenfreude. Let the motherfucker be smug, now he’s getting a face slap!

If this woman plays the rogue, ten people can’t outdo her.

And yes, Bai Zhiqing was being deliberately difficult. Lin Qianru had been nurtured by her and was one of the few close friends she had at Bai’s Group. If Lin Qianru were fired because of a few words from Lin Yao, Bai Zhiqing would truly become a lone wolf within Bai’s Group.
