<strong>Chapter 1510: Chapter 1503: Routine Meeting</strong>


    Watching Lan Xin leave, Bai Zhiqing stretchedzily, stood up from the chair, and said to Lu Tianxing, “Lu Tianxing,e with me to the meeting room!”


    “No problem.”


    Lu Tianxing nodded, looking at Bai Zhiqing’s appearance, hesitated for a moment and asked, “Honey, are you holding a routine meeting at this time because of the recent betrayal in thepany?”


    “How did you know?”


    Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Zhiqing showed a hint of confusion. Regarding the betrayal in Bai’s Group, she actually knew about it a few days ago but hadn’t told Lu Tianxing. Bai Zhiqing hadn’t expected Lu Tianxing to know about it.


    “I learned it from Luan Hongyue when I wasing out of Minister Xue’s office.”


    Lu Tianxing did not hide from Bai Zhiqing and continued, “Honey, do you know who the traitor is?”


    “Yes, it’s Jin Quan from the finance department.”


    Bai Zhiqing’s eyes shed with a sharp light, emitting a strong aura throughout her body. She could tolerate Bai’s Group employees leaving when thepany faced a crisis, even joining a rivalpany, but she absolutely couldn’t tolerate someone colluding with external enemies during a crisis. That was something she could not tolerate at all.


    “Jin Quan?”


    Hearing Bai Zhiqing’s words, Lu Tianxing was slightly stunned. If he remembered correctly, Jin Quan was considered an old employee of Bai’s Group and had helped save thepany from crisis several times. It was quite unexpected that he would betray them.


    Although surprised, it didn’t particrly trouble Lu Tianxing. The human heart is unpredictable; even lifelong brothers might betray you for various interests, let alone apany employee.


    “Honey, what do you n to do next, call the police?”


    Bai Zhiqing took a deep breath and said, “Let’s call the police first! But don’t let theme in; let them wait outside. If Jin Quan confesses voluntarily, we’ll let bygones be bygones. If he refuses to admit, then I won’t hold back.”


    She sighed again and said, “Lu Tianxing, let’s go to the meeting room!”


    “Alright.”


    Lu Tianxing nodded without saying anything more, and alongside Bai Zhiqing, he left the office heading towards the Bai’s Group meeting room.


    By the time Lu Tianxing and Bai Zhiqing arrived at the meeting room, it was already filled with middle to senior staff from Bai’s Group, including Lin Qianru and Xue Man.


    Lu Tianxing scanned his surroundings without hesitation and sat at the seat closest to Bai Zhiqing. The management team of Bai’s Group merely nced at Lu Tianxing and immediately lowered their heads without saying a word. Although Lu Tianxing was officially Bai’s Group’s assistant, everyone knew he was Bai Zhiqing’s husband. Especially with the changes they had seen in Bai Zhiqing recently, they wouldn’t dare scold Lu Tianxing for sitting in the wrong seat; Bai Zhiqing might let them go the next day. A woman in love has almost zero intelligence.


    Bai Zhiqing also scanned her surroundings, transforming back into amanding businesswoman—cold, elegant, noble, and exuding an invible aura.


    As Bai Zhiqing walked to the front seat, everyone immediately looked seriously at her.


    Bai Zhiqing wasted no words and got straight to the point.


    “In recent times, our Bai’s Group has faced unprecedented crises. Luckily, thanks to the assistance of all colleagues here, we could navigate this crisis steadily. We could say that everyone here has contributed indispensably to oveing this challenge…”


    Bai Zhiqing calmly spoke, her voice resonating throughout the meeting room.


    Although Bai Zhiqing’s voice was calm, everyone in Bai’s Group’s management was perceptive enough to understand that the calmer she seemed, the more unrest they felt inside, a growing sense of foreboding that was hard to suppress.


    Normally, Bai Zhiqing holds routinepany meetings at nine thirty—this has been the norm at Bai’s Group ever since she became chairman, only changing for particrly urgent matters. However, today, with no particr turmoil around Bai’s Group, she opted to hold the meeting at eleven, close to the end of the workday, gathering all middle and senior staff. This made everyone feel a hint of something ominous.


    Bai Zhiqing stood at the front, speaking gracefully, her calm gaze sweeping across the entire meeting room. The aura of a strong woman was fully disyed, making it hard for others to breathe.


    “I am very grateful to all of you for not leaving Bai’s Group during its most perilous time. United, we face this crisis. As for your rewards, I will have Secretary Lan deliver them to your officester, ording to merit. However, just as we stand united against external threats, something happened in thepany that has deeply angered and disappointed me. Someone chose to sell thepany’s secrets for money during Bai’s Group’s time of danger, a decision I absolutely cannot tolerate. You may choose to leave Bai’s Group at this time, as a wise bird chooses its tree, I understand. But betraying thepany is absolutely uneptable, biting the hand that feeds you…”


    Bai Zhiqing’s words were like a sudden p of thunder, shaking the entire meeting room. Apart from Xue Man and Lin Qianru, who were already aware, Lu Tianxing and the others were shocked, and they began to discuss it immediately.


    “What, someone actually betrayed thepany? Howe I haven’t heard any news about this?”


    “Who exactly is betraying thepany? Such a person is worse than an animal. Call the police and have them arrested immediately.”


    “Exactly, Chairman, let’s report it directly and have the police investigate this matter. It’s truly despicable, taking thepany’s sry while betraying it. Whoever it is, don’t let me find out, or I’ll beat them half to death with one p.”


    The tone of everyone was filled with condemnation for the betrayer, their eyes burning with barely concealed anger. As a starpany in Modu, a top-tier group, Bai’s Group offers some of the best treatment in the business circle. Having finally joined Bai’s Group to get a high-paying job, if Bai’s Group were to fall, finding another job with a simr sry would be a pipe dream.


    Cutting off someone’s financial resources is like killing their parents, equivalent to the deepest of grudges. No wonder it ignites such anger.


    In the midst of everyone’s fury in the meeting room, a middle-aged man sitting in his seat and joining in on condemning the betrayer couldn’t help but perspire lightly on his forehead, a hint of fear in his eyes, though he tried to appear calm.


    “Mr. Bai, tell me, who exactly is the traitor? I’ll immediately have security escort them to the police station.” A middle-aged man exuding an air of elegance stood up and spoke.


    He was the Minister of Human Resources at Bai’s Group, and almost every employee recruited by Bai’s Group was through him. If there truly was a traitor in Bai’s Group, he, as the HR Minister, would be held ountable.


    “Yes, Mr. Bai, tell us who the traitor is.”


    “Mr. Bai, tell me, I definitely want to teach that bastard a good lesson.”


    “You, who bites the hand that feeds,e out.”


    Everyone chimed in; now was the time to show loyalty, and no one could afford to fall behind.


    “Quiet.”


    A cold voice resounded, and the meeting room fell silent immediately, with all eyes on Bai Zhiqing, awaiting her response.


    “I know who the traitor is. I, Bai Zhiqing, have always been fair, public and private matters distinguished. Considering your past contributions to thepany, stand up now and resign voluntarily, and I will treat this as if nothing happened and not involve the police. Otherwise, don’t me me, Bai Zhiqing, for holding no sentiment for the past.”


    The meeting room was silent, not a single voice spoke up. Everyone’s eyes scoured those around them, waiting for the traitor to reveal themselves.


    The room was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be heard.


    Lu Tianxing also remained silent, casually ncing at Jin Quan, the Finance Minister, who was pretending to be calm while frequently wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. He didn’t speak, but instead looked at Lin Qianru, winking at her flirtatiously. Seeing her face flush bright red, a lewd smile appeared on his face. If he guessed correctly, Bai Zhiqing should be returning to Ziyuan District tonight, so should he finallyplete the long-awaited night of sleeping together?


    “Scumbag.”


    Sitting next to Lin Qianru, Xue Man noticed Lu Tianxing’s gaze and Lin Qianru’s blushing face, silently cursing in her heart.


    Sensing Xue Man’s gaze, Lu Tianxing turned his head, gave Xue Man a cheeky smile, ced his hand on the table, and lightly patted it, making a motion as if his hand had been bounced off.


    Seeing Lu Tianxing’s action, Xue Man’s pretty face involuntarily turned red, feeling a tingling sensation on her lower body, a wave of electricity coursing through her, which brought an inexplicably strange feeling that made her no longer dare to meet Lu Tianxing’s eyes.
