Chapter 136: Chapter 135 Got Tricked

Lin Yao looked at Bai Zhiqing, barely suppressing the fury in his heart, and said with reluctance, "Since the chairman has decided, let’s consider that I never mentioned this matter. However, this incident must be thoroughly investigated; we can’t let anyone off the hook."

"Of course, I’ve already arranged for it. Vice President Lin, if there’s nothing else, you may leave first. I have a lot of work to do."

Bai Zhiqing effectively issued an eviction order.

"Zhiqing, do you really dislike seeing me that much?"

Lin Yao stood up, looked at Bai Zhiqing with a polite expression, and said, "Zhiqing, I was wondering if you’re free after work. How about we have dinner together? Don’t get me wrong, I intend to discuss the future development of the company with you."

"Go~to~hell, who would believe you? Discussing work after hours, bullshit!"

Lu Tianxing cursed inwardly and pricked up his ears, listening intently.

Bai Zhiqing glanced over Lu Tianxing without a change in her expression and said indifferently, "I’m sorry, Vice President Lin. As you know, the company is so busy with the development project for Tianhe Resort that I just don’t have the leisure time to have dinner. Whatever you want to say can be discussed during working hours; there’s no need to wait until after work."

"What about after the investment is settled? I can wait for you," Lin Yao asked, not ready to give up.

"We can talk about future matters in the future. Vice President Lin, please leave if there’s nothing else. I need to get back to work."

Bai Zhiqing stopped talking and looked down at the documents on her desk.

"Alright then, Zhiqing, you get back to your work. I’ll be leaving."

Lin Yao looked at Bai Zhiqing reluctantly, without saying anything further, he turned, opened the door, and walked out.

After Lin Yao had left, Lu Tianxing immediately stood up from his chair, walked over to Bai Zhiqing, leaned heavily on the office desk with both hands, towering over her, and stared at Bai Zhiqing without blinking, his face full of silent reproach.

Bai Zhiqing frowned and said, "Lu Tianxing, what’s gotten into you now? Let me tell you again, I have nothing to do with Lin Yao. What in the world do you want?"

"I don’t want anything. That pretty boy dares to compete with a real man like me for a woman. I could slap him dead. You probably couldn’t stand him even if you were blind; he’s not in my league."

Lu Tianxing proudly touched his hair before continuing with a look of resentment, "Wife, I have a question for you. Why have all the games and movies from my computer suddenly disappeared? Do you know they are all my hard work, painstakingly downloaded over time?"

Bai Zhiqing snorted contemptuously, "Your hard work is these games and movies? Lu Tianxing, let me remind you, this is a company, not your home. The company explicitly prohibits downloading any games and movies on the computers, so I deleted them all this morning."

"Impossible. I set up a boot lock. Did you sneak a peek at my password?" Lu Tianxing eyed Bai Zhiqing with suspicion.

"Sneak a peek? Are you worth sneaking a peek at?"

Bai Zhiqing scoffed and said indifferently, "You forgot who set up this computer for you. While configuring it, I had the IT department install a little software on your computer. No matter what password you set, it will report back to my computer."

"So, you mean your computer is like the main server in a cyber café, constantly monitoring mine?"

Lu Tianxing’s eyes widened. This woman was ruthless, monopolizing even his leisure time.

"Exactly, no matter what password you create, it’s useless against me, so save yourself the effort and just focus on working diligently for me," Bai Zhiqing said casually.

Lu Tianxing felt utterly deflated, like an eggplant hit by frost. Without games, without movies, how was he supposed to get through the day? Was he truly supposed to be the capable assistant to the chairman, as Bai Zhiqing suggested?

"Wife, that’s going too far. Why not just fire me?"

"Why would I fire you? You’re the bodyguard I hired to ensure my safety. To prevent you from being distracted and possibly causing me harm, I obviously had to do this. The first rule of a bodyguard is always to be vigilant of any danger surrounding their employer."

Bai Zhiqing seemed quite pleased to see Lu Tianxing defeated, a faint smile on her face. "Actually, you don’t have to be so pessimistic. I did leave you a few games. How about playing Minesweeper or Solitaire? These games are great for developing intelligence. Of course, you probably won’t be able to play them today. See that stack of documents on your desk? Your task for today is to read through all of them and commit them to memory."

"Wife, what do you mean by that?"

Lu Tianxing shuddered on the inside, a foreboding feeling rising sharply. It seemed he had been manipulated by Bai Zhiqing.

"It means nothing special, just that Assistant Lu has too much idle time and I wouldn’t want people to gossip. So, I’m giving you some work to do. I assume you wouldn’t refuse me, would you?"

Bai Zhiqing’s face showed a breathtakingly beautiful smile, the cold aura melting away as she became like a goddess descending to earth. One couldn’t bear to look away. She even blinked enchantingly at Lu Tianxing.

"..."

The ancients said, "Lust is a knife hanging over the head."

Today, Lu Tianxing understood the true meaning of this proverb. Faced with Bai Zhiqing’s thawing smile, he found himself somehow agreeing to her request to join Xue Man on a trip to Xiangjiang to look into Lin Hua Security Company. More importantly, the general manager of this Lin Hua Security Company was no other than Zhao Lin, who had once tried to woo Bai Zhiqing with lies and received a harsh rebuke from him.

Lu Tianxing had intended to refuse, but a single sentence from Bai Zhiqing sealed all his escape routes, arguing that since he was her husband, he should, of course, do something for his wife. If he were unwilling to go, then she, the chairman, would have to go herself to express the sincerity of the two companies joining forces.

Just that sentence blocked all of Lu Tianxing’s exits, leaving him without the chance to argue back. To send Bai Zhiqing to Xiangjiang was like sending a sheep into a tiger’s den; on foreign turf, none of her influence could be exerted.

"Depressed, so depressed, I’ve been duped again. But I have to say, the smile of an ice queen in thaw, damn, it’s captivating, as alluring as Rose," Lu Tianxing mused as he walked out of Bai Zhiqing’s office, exasperated. Didn’t Bai Zhiqing know that he and Xue Man always clashed? Putting two incompatible people together could spell disaster, not to mention, he also had friction with Zhao Lin. Was she not worried that he might lose his temper and go after Zhao Lin?
