Chapter 277 - 275 Set a Trap
"You’re full of it, Assistant Lu, this is slander. Do you believe I’ll sue you? Chairman, you mustn’t believe his nonsense. Do you not know what kind of person I, Lin Yao, am? I have been loyal to Bai’s Group. How could I possibly harm the chairman?"
Upon hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Lin Yao’s face instantly turned ashen. He slammed the table and stood up, staring menacingly at Lu Tianxing.
"Calm down, calm down, Vice President Lin. I was just speaking off the cuff. Why get so worked up, Vice President Lin, and why offer such a lengthy explanation?"
Lu Tianxing smiled slightly and with ease said to Bai Zhiqing, "Chairman, this is what I wanted to say. Moreover, there’s some truth in what Vice President Lin said: the cake is indeed too large, too large that if we try to swallow it whole, we might choke. The loss isn’t worth the gain for us. So, I also propose to cooperate with another group for joint development, which should sufficiently alleviate the financial pressure on Bai’s Group."
"Oh, then Assistant Lu, which company do you think would be more beneficial to collaborate with?" Bai Zhiqing asked curiously.
"Heh, Chairman, I’m just a humble assistant, what do I know about corporate cooperation? Besides, Chairman, you convened this meeting today; surely you already have a partner in mind. Why then ask me?"
Lu Tianxing laughed awkwardly. He realized the way Bai Zhiqing looked at him carried an indescribable meaning that gave him chills, as if she were laying a trap, waiting for him to jump in voluntarily.
"Is that so? Assistant Lu, you truly are a gem I personally selected. You understand my thoughts so well."
Bai Zhiqing looked at Lu Tianxing meaningfully, her eyes sweeping across the entire meeting room, carrying an air of authoritarian dominance, "Assistant Lu is right; I do have an ideal company in mind for the partnership, but I cannot tell you all right now. However, I can assure you that the company in question is in no way inferior to Zhang Group and, in fact, may even surpass it."
