240: Chapter 240: Not Enough Face, Can Only Pay Money

“Sis, brother-in-law, I, I—”

The plump Mr.

An, originally excited, suddenly received a slap from Ding Jieshan, his brother-in-law and superior, which left him completely dumbfounded.

With this sudden downturn, the plump Mr.

An was utterly shocked, his mind clearly overwheld, stuttering without being able to utter a complete sentence.

“Vice Minister Lin, forgive my ignorance of your distinguished status and the offense I’ve caused, I hope you can be magnanimous,” realizing the plump Mr.

An related to him had beco stupefied, Ding Jieshan, frustrated at his ineptitude, glared at him darkly before hastily turning to apologize to Lin Fei.

His attitude had fallen far from the previous intimidating threats.

Bang!

“What are you standing around for?

Hurry up and apologize to Vice Minister Lin and his two friends.

If you can’t get their forgiveness today, you better get out of ishilin right away!”

After Ding Jieshan finished apologizing to Lin Fei, seeing Mr.

An still dumbstruck beside him, he instantly kicked him into action.

Jolted by the kick from Ding Jieshan, Mr.

An, with a bitter expression, shambled over to Lin Fei and his companions, shivering while he apologized, “I’m sorry, I was blind.

I, I—”

“Girl, how much money did this guy steal from you?” Lin Fei, uninterested in Mr.

An’s apology, directly leaned down to ask Xu Yingying.

“Uncle, it’s not him who stole from —” Suddenly questioned by Lin Fei like this, Xu Yingying obviously couldn’t keep up.

However, halfway through, she saw Lin Fei stealthily gesturing with three fingers, and the sly girl imdiately switched her story, “Uncle, he stole three hundred thousand from us.

You must help us get it back—it’s our year’s pocket money.”

No sooner had Xu Yingying finished speaking than Mr.

An felt like he was about to cry.

Three hundred thousand, his annual salary with bonuses barely made one hundred thousand.

At that mont, Mr.

An truly felt like he was being his own saboteur.

If he’d known Lin Fei and his associates had connections, he wouldn’t have frad Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao for stealing his money.

Now, not only did he fail to woo the girl, but he’d also put himself in trouble.

Helpless, Mr.

An could only turn his head and look at his brother-in-law pitifully.

“Vice Minister Lin, rest assured, I’ll make him give up the three hundred thousand.” Seeing the gaze of Mr.

An and others fixed on him, knowing full well Lin Fei was intentionally setting him up, but considering Lin Fei’s status as the Deputy Head of Mu Group’s Security Departnt and Ling Weiwei standing beside Lin Fei, Ding Jieshan had no choice but to grind his teeth and accept it.

“Ms.

Mu is still waiting upstairs, so we won’t disturb General Manager Ding’s work,” Ling Weiwei, who had been silent until now, gave Ding Jieshan a subtle reminder, sensing his reluctance and guessing the situation roughly.

“Ms.

Mu is here too?!”

“What, could it be that your esteed restaurant doesn’t welco Ms.

Mu?”

“Of course not, President Ling, you jest.” The unintentionally aningful remark from Ling Weiwei sent cold sweat pouring down Ding Jieshan’s back, “I just didn’t expect soone of Ms.

Mu’s standing to grace ishilin.

It’s truly an extraordinary honor for ishilin.

If I’d known Ms.

Mu was coming, I would’ve welcod you at the entrance.

May I ask if Ms.

Mu enjoyed the al, and if there’s anything I—”

“No need, I see that Mr.

Ding is quite busy as well, so I won’t trouble you any further.” While saying this, Ling Weiwei’s autumnal eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the security manager with the last na An, who at so point had hidden behind Ding Jieshan.

“Ms.

Ling, have a safe trip ho.

I will definitely give Vice Minister Lin and his two friends a satisfactory explanation for today’s incident.” Ding Jieshan, having climbed up to the position of vice general manager of ishilin through the ranks of the workplace, was naturally adept at reading between the lines and understanding implicit ssages.

He clearly understood the subtext in Ling Weiwei’s words and the aning behind her casual glance.

“If that’s the case, then I’ll take my leave.”

Seeing that Ding Jieshan understood the situation, Ling Weiwei didn’t pursue the matter further.

She proactively linked her arm with the honorable Mr.

Lin beside her, and the group of four strolled away from the second floor under Ding Jieshan’s watchful gaze.

As Lin Fei and the others left, the dissatisfied security manager An, who begrudged losing three hundred thousand, couldn’t help but grouse at Ding Jieshan, saying, “Brother-in-law, he’s just a vice minister.

Why did you have to give him so much face?

Three hundred thousand!

I—”

“You understand nothing!

Didn’t you hear?

She is Mu Shanshan’s favorite at the mont.

Mu Group is not sothing we can afford to offend.

If she calls Director Zheng, it’s not just about you, but whether I can continue to stay at ishilin is questionable too!” Ding Jieshan reprimanded the security manager An, then coldly continued, “Three hundred thousand, if you manage to smooth this over with that amount, consider yourself lucky.”

“So, brother-in-law, what should we do now—”

Seeing that Ding Jieshan wasn’t just trying to scare him, the plump security manager An imdiately stopped fretting over the three hundred thousand, truly fearing for his job so much that he wished he could slap himself twice.

If he had known earlier that Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao had the support of Lin Fei, he wouldn’t have dared to harbor ill intentions even if he had several tis the courage.

In the past, security manager An had often taken advantage of his title as the patrolling supervisor of the second floor to throw his weight around in the ishilin restaurant.

Sure, the consumption level at ishilin restaurant was high, but it was, after all, just a buffet, and truly prestigious people would seldom visit such a place.

It was with this mindset that security manager An dared to repeatedly abuse his position, backed by both Ding Jieshan and his own job title, to act recklessly within ishilin restaurant.

However, this ti, he clearly kicked an iron plate.

It so happened that encountering Lin Fei could be considered fortunate.

If Lin Fei hadn’t appeared, and if the security manager An had really succeeded, considering Xu Yingying’s young age and ability to drive a rcedes-Benz SUV, how could her background be simple?

And since Xu Jiao could compete with that clever girl Xu Yingying in school and in private, her family background likely wasn’t simple either.

Had that happened, even if Lin Fei hadn’t stood up for Xu Yingying and Xu Jiao, security manager An definitely wouldn’t have had an easy ti!

“First, get soone to clean this place up.

Now all we can hope for is Director Zheng’s intervention.”

If only Lin Fei and Ling Weiwei had been here today, Ding Jieshan might still have had the nerve to ask the two of them for a favor.

However, once he realized that Mu Shanshan, the recognized “business goddess” of Zhonghai, was now present in ishilin, Ding Jieshan knew his own face certainly wasn’t worth much.

Though ishilin bore the na of a restaurant group, it actually had only one asset, the ishilin restaurant.

Compared to Mu Group, which dabbles in many businesses and has a small reputation in both Zhonghai and the neighboring provinces, Ding Jieshan, as the vice general manager of ishilin, really wasn’t much.

Without enough face, the desire to resolve issues peacefully ant naturally…

it was ti to spend money….
