The Beautiful CEO’s Close Bodyguard

Chapter 237: Chapter 0237: Hardworking Wife

The door to the manager’s office was slightly ajar, and the security guards from before were standing on both sides of the door, holding themselves erect, as if they were on duty.

Zhao Cheng suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart. He had gotten his position through connections and was naturally sensitive to these matters.

However, Sun Yinglong still looked clueless, swaggering behind Wang Shunjie.

"Vice Manager Sun, Vice Manager Zhao, please come in." Wang Shunjie stopped at the door, then gestured for the two men to enter.

Although curious about how the office door was opened without a key, both men felt a bad premonition rising in their hearts and did not dwell on it, pushing the door open and walking in.

"Thud—" Zhao Cheng’s legs went weak, and he staggered back a few steps to lean against the wall.

Sun Yinglong also shuddered, his face turning deathly pale.

The office was full of people, or rather, filled with the company’s top brass. At a glance, Sun Yinglong recognized only a few, all of them at the manager level, and yet, these few were sitting at the edges!

Sun Yinglong’s chubby face trembled, and his breath stopped for an instant when he saw the person sitting in the front.

That was a woman of breathtaking beauty, dressed in a white lady’s suit, sitting behind the desk, her face frosty as she looked at him.

This woman’s identity was known to everyone in Jinxiu Group, even throughout Shanghai — the Ice Beauty, Mu Bingtong!

What he never dreamed was that the young man from before was now sitting beside Mu Bingtong, smiling and watching him.

"Mu... President Mu!" Zhao Cheng looked like he was about to cry, his voice breaking.

Promoted through connections, he naturally understood the importance of reading faces and emotions. Seeing how close the two were sitting, there had to be a relationship!

"The two vice presidents seem to be doing quite well for themselves in the finance department. Do you no longer consider me, the chairman, worth your attention?" Mu Bingtong stood up, her voice cold as she addressed them.

Sun Yinglong’s face changed, and he quickly said, "President Mu, what are you talking about? We have always worked hard for the company’s cause. Has someone been speaking ill of me to you?"

Sun Yinglong’s first reaction was that someone had gone to Mu Bingtong to snitch on him.

"Heh, without a word, you dare to have security come and arrest the finance department manager and pin a thief’s big hat on him; who would dare to snitch on you, Vice Manager Sun?"

However, Mu Bingtong just looked at Sun Yinglong, speaking slowly.

"Finance department manager?" Sun Yinglong was stunned for a moment, then his body stiffened, and he slowly turned his head, looking incredulously at Chu Ge sitting beside Mu Bingtong.

And Zhao Cheng, at this moment, had completely lost all color in his face.

"You mean... this person is the finance department manager?"

"Congratulations, you guessed right, but there’s no reward." Chu Ge smiled, and at the same time took out a badge from the drawer with a pin attached, and pinned it on his chest.

The badge bore a simple inscription: Finance Department Manager: Chu Ge.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Chu Ge, the current Finance Department Manager of Jinxiu Group, just took office today."

"Thump—"

A muffled sound, and Zhao Cheng fell onto the floor with a thud, staring blankly at Chu Ge. Several dozen seconds later, he finally let out a sigh and slowly lowered his head.

He knew that the network of connections he had managed to build up over the past few years was completely ruined.

Vice Manager Sun’s face was ashen, and he couldn’t help but cast a pleading look at a few people in the crowd, but at this moment, they all lowered their heads and chose to avoid his gaze.

These true senior executives all knew about the matter between Chu Ge and Mu Bingtong. Offending Chu Ge meant offending Mu Bingtong as well. Extending mercy to Sun Yinglong at this time—did they think their positions were too high?

Seeing this scene, Sun Yinglong’s lips trembled a few times, but in the end, he couldn’t utter a word. With a bitter laugh, he dejectedly lowered his head.

He had never imagined that his career would end in such a dramatic fashion.

"So now, I hereby announce the termination of Sun Yinglong and Zhao Cheng," Chu Ge’s voice wasn’t loud, but everyone in the office could hear it clearly.

"I agree," said Mu Bingtong.

Seeing Mu Bingtong’s stance, no one else dared to object.

However, just when Sun Yinglong thought it was all over, Chu Ge suddenly called out in the direction of the door: "Wang Shunjie."

Wang Shunjie, dressed in a security guard uniform, walked in: "Mr. Chu... Manager Chu, what are your orders?"

"Look into Sun Yinglong’s activities within the company, especially any violations."

As soon as Chu Ge said this, Sun Yinglong’s face turned even paler instantly, devoid of any trace of color.

One must know that he had used his position of advantage to do a lot of things in the company, embezzling funds, lining his own pockets. It was only because he had been very careful, the amounts each time were small, and he had protection from higher-ups, that he had managed to avoid getting caught until now.

If all these were to be dug up, it would be enough to put him behind bars for several years!

Soon, Sun Yinglong, who could barely walk because his legs were weak, was dragged out of the office by two security guards, while Mu Bingtong had all the other senior executives return to their posts.

"Now, I’ll go with you to the financial department’s main hall to announce your appointment," she said after everyone had left.

When they were alone, the chill on Mu Bingtong’s face instantly melted away, and she looked at Chu Ge with a smile.

"Hehe, that will be trouble for my wife!" After having been tense on the cruise, Chu Ge now felt relaxed and let his nature show, looking at Mu Bingtong with a grin: "Don’t worry, wife, I’ll definitely take good care of you tonight!"

Hearing these rogue words, Mu Bingtong’s pretty face turned red all the way to her ears, and she gave Chu Ge a big glaring look, saying displeasedly: "Haven’t seen you for a few days, and your skin has gotten even thicker!"

However, upon hearing this, Chu Ge put on an innocent expression: "I said I was going to make you a nice big dinner tonight as a treat, did your mind wander somewhere strange?"

"You..." Mu Bingtong was exasperated and gave Chu Ge a glare: "You’ve got a slick tongue, hurry up and go!"

With that, she led the way out of the office.

Watching Mu Bingtong’s fleeing figure, Chu Ge couldn’t help but chuckle and followed after her.

In the main hall, a few employees were whispering among themselves.

"Hey, what do you guys think, why hasn’t that handsome guy come back yet? Could something have happened to him?" The female office worker who had previously shown her infatuation asked softly.

"Hmph, targeted by Sun Yinglong, what good could come of it?" The middle-aged woman sighed and shook her head.

But just as she was about to continue, the door was suddenly pushed open...
