The Beautiful Boss's Personal Bodyguard
Chapter 195

Chapter 195: Chapter 195

The lady had more and more things to consider, and it was starting to wear her out.

Lv Nan left in the afternoon because Chen Yue didn’t get out of bed until noon. Zheng Xinru looked at this mother and daughter duo, finding one extraordinarily lazy and the other as crafty as anthracite, and sighed to herself, wondering if this family could possibly be ruined by a few women.

Zheng Xinru was seated in an Audi A4, while the driver for Lv Nan and her daughter was Li Jing, who drove Zheng Xinru’s business Buick. The two cars, one following the other, headed towards Tianhe City.

"Ye Tian, once we enter the city, go to the Binhai Commercial Tower first."

"What about afterwards?"

After glancing at the rearview mirror at Ye Tian’s eyes looking at her own, Zheng Xinru slightly smiled, "Never mind about them."

Ye Tian nodded. He didn’t know why Zheng Xinru wanted to do this, but from her attitude towards Lv Nan, it was somewhat apparent that she was not too fond of her. He also wondered what Li Jing’s thoughts were.

The car continued until it reached the Binhai Tower in the city center. The four golden characters at the top were strikingly conspicuous, visible from afar. When the car stopped at the doorway, Ye Tian helped Zheng Xinru out of the car, and many of the employees nearby had a somewhat curious look in their eyes.

"We just finished lunch, it’s work time. Let’s go, those old chaps are probably anxious."

Zheng Xinru looked up at the tower that her husband, Chen Pingrui, had owned, now filled with deceptive creatures who bore their ulterior motives like drooling over a feast, each picking at the assets as if eager to grab and disperse.

In the fifty-floor tower, Chen Pingrui had rented out twenty floors, leaving the remaining thirty floors for his own enterprises. However, though the façade appeared attractive, the interior was rather ordinary. According to Ye Tian himself, the level here was just like that of a small workshop.

"This location was personally selected by Pingrui. Back then, in order to secure this piece of land in the city center, Pingrui put in a lot of effort."

In the elevator, only Zheng Xinru and Ye Tian were present. A few people initially wanted to join them, but retreated when they saw Zheng Xinru inside. It seemed that not only did Eunuch Rui have a reputation, but the lady Zheng Xinru as well.

"Ye Tian, things are not always what they appear. Although the interior decoration here is average, people still choose to rent this place despite the high rent. Do you know why?"

Observing Ye Tian’s expression, Zheng Xinru knew what he was thinking. This wasn’t the first time she’d seen such an expression from outsiders.

"It’s because of its strategic location."

Zheng Xinru nodded, "Exactly, Tianhe City is directly-controlled, and land in the city center is incredibly valuable. Pingrui used many connections to buy this land but then mostly left it untended. He always acts according to his preferences. I’ve told him many times, but he never listens. It’s extremely difficult for anyone to get a hold here, and only Chen Pingrui had the audacity to leave it careless."

Her tone was both exasperated and gripping, and it remained until the elevator stopped at the thirty-sixth floor. When the elevator doors opened, the interior was significantly different from what Ye Tian had seen upon entering; he was unsure if it was just this floor that was finely decorated or if the other floors were the same.

"This is the floor where Pingrui’s office is located, so I had people put extra effort into this floor."

It seems that Zheng Xinru’s relationship with Chen Pingrui wasn’t just ordinary; at least it was the case back then, otherwise she wouldn’t have put so much effort into arranging these things for Chen Pingrui.

The moment the elevator doors opened, the entire thirty-sixth-floor staff instantly felt an oppressive atmosphere engulfing them, the whole floor went quiet, except for the distinct and crisp sound of her high heels echoing clearly.

It was her.

That exceptional and strong woman, how could she suddenly appear here?

The imposing Zheng Xinru walked confidently, her chest out and head high under everyone’s gaze. In fact, Zheng Xinru didn’t deliberately maintain a tough demeanor; from what Ye Tian had seen, she was just like the people she met usually, with no significant difference in her aura. Only upon meeting high standards does disparity arise.

Following Zheng Xinru, Ye Tian too couldn’t escape the scrutiny of those around him. Everyone was pondering internally; it wasn’t the cool handsome guy who was lifting the weight of the Chen family, but this ordinary-looking fellow.

After the intense pressure passed, the office floor resumed its normalcy, and a blast of discussions and rumors began to spread. The gossip that the mistress conspired with the original wife to achieve dominance over the family assets became the most credible and supported tale among many. At this moment, the two people at the center of this storm were in the conference room facing the wolves.

"Boss Zheng, as a publicly traded company, Binhai’s stock has fallen severely recently. With Boss Chen gone, it’s about time we chose a new boss, right?"

"Yes, a country can’t be without a ruler for a day, neither can a company be without a chairman for a day."

"How about as Boss Zhang, Old Zhang has said, we elect someone new?"

...

Zheng Xinru sat in the chairman’s seat, watching the two factions on either side arguing incessantly. But she remained calm, deep inside her heart was deeply pained. This was the empire Chen Pingrui had built, and now it was about to be divided by these villains.

When the arguing reached an appropriate time, Zheng Xinru lifted the tea cup in front of her, everyone fell silent. This Zheng Xinru, just like Chen Pingrui, always took a few sips before speaking.

"So, according to everyone, who would be suitable for this position?"

The unexpected tranquility in her tone took everyone by surprise. They were too familiar with the temper of the Chen family’s head wife. Describing her as sugar-coated venom was an understatement, especially regarding anything related to Chen Pingrui, she was particularly tenacious. They said she was a devoted wife, but that was past tense. Now that the husband was deceased, why was she still meddling? ’Wretched widow!’ they thought. And that young man beside her with a plain haircut looked obviously like a gigolo. With her husband just recently deceased and her being so undignified, she was clearly the modern Pan Jinlian!

Many despised Zheng Xinru and Ye Tian in their hearts, but nobody dared to voice it out, not even after Zheng Xinru made her statement. They were still wary about Zheng Xinru’s influence. Besides, that plain-haired guy beside her had managed to get Dong Cheng killed; who knew if this wasn’t an opportunity to find the next Dong Cheng here?
