Beauty Chairwoman’s Bodyguard Expert

59: Chapter 58: At a Great Cost 59: Chapter 58: At a Great Cost Time passed quickly, and before they knew it, it was the afternoon.

Lu Tianxing stood at the entrance of the building, overwhelmed with boredom and indecision.

He had planned to sneak away before the end of the workday, as he had absolutely no interest in the banquet Bai Zhiqing had mentioned.

Unfortunately, before he could leave the elevator, Bai Zhiqing caught him and made him wait obediently at the entrance while she went to the underground parking lot to get her car.

“Hey, isn’t that Brother Lu?

Congratulations on your promotion to the chairman’s assistant.”

Just then, a sycophantic voice came from behind, as Huang Can walked out of the building, looking enviously at Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing’s promotion speed had already spread throughout Bai’s Group, and countless people idolized him.

He’d been late for work two days in a row, and not only did he not receive any punishment, but he also got promoted—from a security guard to the chairman’s assistant.

This promotion set a legendary record for Bai’s Group, faster than a rocket.

Even some people considered, should they also try being late like Lu Tianxing to see if they, too, could get a promotion.

“Brother Lu, can you tell me how you got promoted?

Is there any secret to it?”

“Heh, what secret could there be?

Of course, it was because the chairman saw the hidden charm of a man in me.

That’s why he recruited me as his assistant.

It’s like how male chairmen like to hire pretty, young, voluptuous secretaries—looks good when you take them out,” Lu Tianxing laughed heartily, somewhat narcissistically touching his hair, and bragged proudly.

“That’s the way, Brother Lu.

There really aren’t many in Bai’s Group who can compare to you—handsome and strong, perfection within perfection.

Maybe one day, you’ll rise from assistant to manager.

Brother Lu, when you strike it rich, you can’t forget about your little brother here,” Huang Can complimented him.

“Don’t worry, you’re my brother.

I could forget anyone but not you.”

Lu Tianxing, buoyed by flattery, said proudly, “There’s a saying, ‘Those who live by the water get the moon first.’ If one day I become the male owner of Bai’s Group, I’ll definitely save a department manager position for you, no question.”

“Brother Lu is the best.

I’ll congratulate you in advance for your triumphant success and winning the beauty over.”

“Hahaha, let’s hope your words bring good fortune, a triumphant success, taking down Bai Zhiqing, and conquering the empire.”

“With Brother Lu making a move, there surely won’t be any problems.

Wow, Brother Lu, look over there—that woman’s figure is too hot to handle, 36E at least, right?

Rumored to be the top bombshell in the Advertising Planning Department.”

“Her figure is indeed excellent, but her face leaves something to be desired, too much makeup.

If you’re not too picky, she might still be fine with the lights off.”

“Brother Lu speaks the truth.”

The two of them harmonized, content to stay at the entrance, watching the beauties leaving Bai’s Group, occasionally issuing their evaluations.

Thus, at the entrance of Bai’s Group, there was a scene where two men huddled together, ogling the door with gleaming eyes, sometimes letting out lecherous smiles, drawing a continuous stream of disapproving glances, yet both were completely oblivious, engrossed in their viewing, intermittently uttering sounds of admiration.

Unbeknownst to them, a white Porsche was parked right behind, and inside, a beautiful woman was gritting her teeth, eyeing them both furiously.

“Boom!”

The Porsche suddenly roared to life, accelerating sharply with a beautiful drift, firmly stopping next to Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing got a fright from the noise, seeing the Porsche so close, cold sweat involuntarily broke out on his forehead.

This woman was crazy—if there had been the slightest mistake, he might have ended up spending his life in a wheelchair.

“Get in the car.”

A voice as cold as ice came from the Porsche, while a stunning face full of frost looked out through the car window, staring coldly at them.

“Goodbye, Chairman.

Goodbye, Chairman,” Huang Can said, trembling all over with fear at the voice, and after saying his farewells to Bai Zhiqing, no longer cared about Lu Tianxing and scurried out of the building as if his feet were greased.

Lu Tianxing shrugged and climbed into the passenger seat.

“Tsk tsk, wife, what’s wrong, who annoyed you, look at your face, it’s almost frozen into ice.

If this was in the Northeast, the people there would probably feel even colder,” Lu Tianxing said, laughing as though he didn’t see Bai Zhiqing’s murderous gaze.

“Scram!

A dog can’t spit out ivory,” Bai Zhiqing snapped angrily.

“A dog can spit out ivory?”

Lu Tianxing’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Bai Zhiqing, “Wife, you must be from Mars!

Your world view is too bizarre.”

“You…”

Bai Zhiqing’s face turned a shade of iron blue, and after taking a deep breath, it took her a while to calm herself down, “Next time, I don’t want to hear those words again, do you understand?”

“But I didn’t say anything wrong, you are my wife after all.

All I said earlier was that I wanted to pursue you; what’s the big deal about that?

Moreover, do you think I like saying that?”

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiqing’s complexion became even more unsightly, “Lu Tianxing, what do you mean by that?

Are you implying that being married to me is somehow embarrassing for you?”

“Embarrassing, no, but think about it, as a career-oriented woman like yourself, you definitely prioritize your career.

In the face of your career, love and marriage have to step aside.

A man marrying a wife seeks mutual enthusiasm, not one-sided warmth, warm face attached to a cold butt~.

And in the future, when I’m walking through the neighborhood, others might praise me, saying, ‘Oh, Lu Tianxing, your wife is so pretty and so rich!’ But what’s the use?

All looks, no play.

Am I supposed to marry you and then have to please myself, treating my own hand as if it’s my wife?”

Bai Zhiqing’s pretty face flushed with anger and her eyes turned cold, “Lu Tianxing, could you please speak more elegantly.

And just now you were quite energetic, talking about pursuing me and all.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing with irritation, “That was just bragging, get it?

It’s like those tons of people showing off in their social circles, flaunting face even if they don’t necessarily possess those things—as long as they get others’ likes, that’s enough.

Just like me saying I’m tight with Obama, and we played cards together last night.

Did I really play cards with him?”

“You…

you’re just twisting words to win an argument.”

Bai Zhiqing felt a wave of frustration in her heart.

Why did she impulsively let this guy become her assistant?

He should be in sales, capable of arguing black is white.

“Sigh, wife, do you know?

Actually, I paid a great price to marry you.”

“Price?”

Bai Zhiqing was taken aback, “What kind of big price could you have possibly paid?”

“Loads, think about it.

Our marriage is based on an agreement, who knows when you might kick me out, what would I do then.”

Lu Tianxing looked at Bai Zhiqing, analyzing, “If you kicked me out, that would be okay.

But others would definitely say, ‘Who would have thought that Bai Zhiqing was such a woman, fickle in affection, with such a handsome and perfect husband and still not content, keeping a young lover on the side.

Everyone, doesn’t this mean that Lu Tianxing here is not up to snuff, unable to satisfy his own wife?

Wife, you know?

A man cannot admit to being inadequate.

If this gets out, how am I supposed to find another wife…”

“Shut your mouth, you’re the one keeping a young lover.”

Bai Zhiqing glared furiously at Lu Tianxing.

“It’s not what I said; others will say that if you marry another man.

So the price I’ve paid is huge.”

“Lu Tianxing, enough already, keep talking nonsense, and believe me or not, I’ll press the gas pedal down and we both meet our end.”

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing with a bit of frenzy in her eyes.

She finally understood; Lu Tianxing was a rascal, utterly shameless.

There was no point in arguing with him, as he could argue black into white, and white into a shade of grey.

Arguing with him would only bring her trouble.

Seeing Bai Zhiqing fall silent, a glint of amusement flashed in Lu Tianxing’s eyes.

It was only then that he felt Bai Zhiqing was a woman, not a goddess.
