Beauty Chairwoman's Bodyguard Expert-Chapter 1729 - 1722: Your Rank Is Too Low

After chatting idly with Lu Haoyue for a couple more sentences, Lu Tianxing hung up the phone, slightly furrowing his brow. He was quite aware of the rumor Lu Haoyue mentioned earlier, but without concrete evidence, he had always been half-skeptical about it.

But now Old Sir Lu wants him to take Bai Zhiqing to Qin Island. Could it be that the rumor is true, that Jiang Liufeng is indeed his mother’s sworn father, his grandfather? If he was indeed his grandfather, why didn’t Jiang Liufeng leave Qin Island when his parents were in danger? Instead, he stayed on Qin Island.

But if he isn’t his grandfather, why did Cangwu come to help him? The two clearly have no intersecting connections.

Various thoughts flashed through his mind, and Lu Tianxing finally sighed, tossing those thoughts out of his head. Since he couldn’t figure it out, he’d stop thinking about it; everything would become clear once he went to Qin Island.

After the elevator reached the top floor, Lu Tianxing headed straight for Bai Zhiqing’s office. Before he could enter, he saw Lan Xin’s figure blocking his way.

"Secretary Lan, what are you blocking me for this time? Could it be your dad’s in trouble again?" Lu Tianxing saw Lan Xin in front of him and spoke with exasperation.

He found that every time Lan Xin stopped him, it usually wasn’t good news. The first time she set him up was by suggesting he warm her bed, which almost got him devoured by Bai Zhiqing. The second time, she asked him to pretend to be her boyfriend, then left him stranded at the hotel entrance after the charade, driving off in her own car. The third time, she claimed her father was in trouble and asked for his help. Although these were minor issues, Lu Tianxing felt that if things continued this way, he would eventually be played to death by this sly woman Lan Xin.

"Pfft, crazy! You’re the one having troubles all day long, Lu Tianxing, you jinx!"

Lan Xin rolled her eyes at Lu Tianxing and said, "I’m telling you, today Mr. Bai asked me to stop you."

"Mr. Bai told you to stop me? Seriously, Secretary Lan, are you joking? Have you ever seen a wife ask her secretary to stop her own husband? Go play somewhere else, I’ll buy you some candy later."

With that, Lu Tianxing shifted his body slightly, preparing to pass by.

But as Lu Tianxing moved, Lan Xin moved with him, spreading her arms to block his path once more.

"Secretary Lan, what exactly do you want? Even though I helped you yesterday, and you said you’d warm my bed, can you check the time? It’s still early in the morning. How about we meet after work?" Lu Tianxing said helplessly.

"Ha, you wish! I was just fooling you yesterday, messing with you, and you believed me?"

Lan Xin feigned disdain and said, "Right now, Mr. Bai, President Lin, and President Xue are holding a small meeting inside the office. What if you interrupt their thoughts by barging in? So it’s better for you to wait outside. Once Mr. Bai finishes the meeting, it’s not too late for you to go in."

"Secretary Lan, are you purposely trying to stop me?"

Lu Tianxing narrowed his eyes at Lan Xin, a mischievous smile starting to appear at the corners of his mouth, while his actual gaze began to roam over Lan Xin.

"What... what are you intending to do? I’m warning you, Mr. Bai is right inside the office. If you dare mess around, I’ll scream harassment."

Lan Xin felt tense at Lu Tianxing’s familiar gaze and her expression became nervous.

"Harassment? Secretary Lan, do you think I’d be afraid of that?"

With that said, Lu Tianxing took a few more steps forward, his mischievous smile growing more intense, and his hands were itching to grab something.

"What are you doing?"

Lan Xin was startled by Lu Tianxing’s actions, hurriedly stepping back a few paces, watching him warily.

Just then, as Lan Xin stepped back, Lu Tianxing’s silhouette flickered, and he disappeared from Lan Xin’s view, appearing directly at the door to Bai Zhiqing’s office.

Lan Xin, realizing she had been tricked by Lu Tianxing, turned around just in time to see him standing at the office door, his hand already on the doorknob, flashing a bright smile at her.

"Lu Tianxing, you stop right there...!"

Lan Xin shouted, quickly running toward Lu Tianxing, hoping to stop him.

However, before Lan Xin could reach him, Lu Tianxing had already opened the door and entered the office.

Upon hearing the door open, Bai Zhiqing and the others quickly turned their heads towards the entrance, Lu Tianxing’s figure came into view, along with the furious Lan Xin standing at the doorway.

"Mr. Bai, I couldn’t stop him; he insisted on barging in." Upon seeing Bai Zhiqing, Lan Xin seemed to find her anchor, looking at Bai Zhiqing with a pitiable expression.

Bai Zhiqing looked at Lan Xin’s demeanor and sighed helplessly. She could see that Lan Xin probably got the worst of it against Lu Tianxing once again.

With a sigh, Bai Zhiqing waved her hand and said, "Secretary Lan, it’s fine, our meeting is nearly finished anyway. You can go back to your tasks now!"

After hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lan Xin was momentarily stunned, then a hint of an imperceptible bitter smile flashed across her face. She nearly forgot about the relationship between Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing. How could Bai Zhiqing blame her for such a trivial matter?

"Mr. Bai, I’ll head back to work then." Lan Xin nodded and left.

Lu Tianxing chuckled and walked inside.

Meanwhile, Lin Qianru’s and Xue Man’s gazes fell on Lu Tianxing, while Bai Zhiqing glanced at Lu Tianxing before retracting her gaze and continued organizing the documents on the table.

"Hey, what kind of meeting are you having there! So secretive, not letting me know." Xu Tianchen swaggered in casually, sitting on the sofa unceremoniously with his legs crossed.

"It’s a meeting for the company’s higher-ups, you’re too low-ranking." Lin Qianru said jokingly to Lu Tianxing, though there was an unmistakable hint of affection in the depths of her eyes.

"Uh!"

Upon hearing Lin Qianru’s words, Lu Tianxing’s face immediately darkened. Darn, being looked down on for a low rank. Looks like he must ask Bai Zhiqing to make him a vice president someday, then see who dares to look down on his rank.

Seeing no one else speak, Lu Tianxing could only sit on the sofa helplessly, lighting a cigarette, his gaze starting to wander slightly, admiring the different qualities of the women: Bai Zhiqing’s cold elegance, Xue Man’s spirited boldness, and Lin Qianru’s gentle grace, making Lu Tianxing feel that he must have pounded on a hundred or more wooden fish in his past life, otherwise how could he attract so many beauties in this life.
