549: Chapter 549 Deliberately Ignoring Lin Fei’s Goddess Mu
It was just after ten in the morning.
At the Mu Group headquarters, Moongaze Building.
On the first-floor lobby.
A weary Lin Fei casually walked into the lobby.
Upon spotting ng Xue’er, the pure and innocent receptionist on duty, Lin Fei leisurely headed towards the front desk.
“Xue’er, morning.”
“Brother Lin, good morning.” As for ng Xue’er, who emanated a pure and clear aura, this wasn’t the first ti Lin Fei had greeted her in front of other colleagues.
Yet, due to her nature, the fair and delicate cheek of ng Xue’er unavoidably blushed a shade of pink when Lin Fei took the initiative to say hello.
“Vice Minister Lin, it’s hardly morning anymore, it’s well past ten, nearly eleven.
In the entire company, only you dare to be so brazenly late.
Sotis, we’re really curious.
What kind of ‘love potion’ have you given to President Mu?
You’ve been late so many tis, sotis you don’t even bother coming to the office.
Yet, President Mu never fires you.
If I were her, I would have fired you, Vice Minister Lin, countless tis by now.” Unlike the gentle and frail ng Xue’er, the female colleague sharing the front desk duty with her was obviously much more extroverted and bold.
She bluntly told Lin Fei that he should have been fired from the company long ago for his repeated tardiness and yet remained unperturbed and comfortably in his job.
“Lin, Brother Lin.
Don’t listen to Xin’er’s nonsense, she, she—”
“Silly Xue’er, what are you worrying about?
Everyone in our company knows that Vice Minister Lin is the least pretentious,” said the female colleague ng Xue’er called Xin’er, interrupting ng Xue’er’s attempt to make an excuse for her, and then the girl smiled at Lin Fei, “Vice Minister Lin, there’s no one else here anyway.
Just tell
and Xue’er, what exactly have you given to President Mu, that she never scolds you for being late?”
“Didn’t I tell you guys already?
I’m her husband.
She wouldn’t dare fire
even if she had the guts to do so,” Lin Fei quipped back with his usual response he often threw out when jesting with female staff across the various departnts of Mu Group.
“Vice Minister Lin, that joke of yours isn’t funny at all.”
“Ah, these days, even the truth isn’t believed.”
“Vice Minister Lin, you can’t bla
for not believing you.
You can ask Xue’er if she believes you.”
“Ah—I, I, I don’t know,” stamred ng Xue’er, who unexpectedly beca the center of attention.
Regaining her composure, ng Xue’er chickened out under the joint gaze of Lin Fei and her colleague nad Xin’er, and lowered her head in defeat.
“See, Vice Minister Lin?
Even Xue’er, who’s so easy to fool, doesn’t believe you.
So next ti, you should find a more believable excuse.
Otherwise, if one day your la excuse reaches President Mu’s ears, you’re definitely going to be in big trouble.”
“Are you kidding?
Do I look like the type of man who’s scared of his wife?”
“In our company, who doesn’t know that Vice Minister Lin is whipped by his wife?”
“Rumors are just rumors in the end!”
“There’s a saying that’s spot-on: ‘There’s no smoke without fire, no wind without waves.'”
“You brat, seems like you don’t want to work here anymore.
Believe it or not, I’ll ask my wife to fire you!”
“President Mu won’t fire .”
“And why are you so sure about that?”
“It’s simple, because President Mu isn’t Vice Minister Lin’s wife at all.”
Lin Fei: “…”
Unable to engage in a forceful argunt on this subject with the female colleague ng Xue’er referred to as Xin’er, Lin Fei decided to just turn around and leave.
“Xin, Xin’er, actually, actually, I do believe Brother Lin,” ng Xue’er, who had been silent with her head down, raised her head and leaned close to her colleague nad Xin’er and whispered after Lin Fei turned and walked away.
“No way, Xue’er, you can’t possibly really believe what Vice Minister Lin said, that President Mu is his wife?!”
“No, that’s not it.”
“What is it, then?”
“It’s just that, I…
I trust Brother Lin, it’s not that, not that he’s henpecked.”
Ling Fei, who had been strolling away from the reception desk, did not hear ng Xue’er’s following expression of trust that he wasn’t henpecked.
Otherwise, Fei would have been deeply moved by Xue’er, this girl with such innocence and clarity to her bones.
Especially in the atmosphere where the entire company was abuzz with talk that he was henpecked, for Xue’er, this girl with such innocence and clarity to her bones, to give him this kind of trust.
At the very least, Fei would have to sigh that it wasn’t in vain that he had been so fond of this girl.
…
Moongaze Building, Fifth Floor.
The office of the Vice Minister of the Mu Group’s Security Departnt, also known as Ling Fei’s office.
“That little brat, she must have gone to the General Affairs Departnt again.”
Originally, Fei had planned to find Xiao Yina, his secretary, to understand what had happened in the company in the few days he had been absent.
After searching the entire office without finding Yina, and rembering that he had once allowed the girl to work in the General Affairs Departnt, Fei muttered to himself.
He also realized it had been several days since he had seen Ling Weiwei, the beautiful departnt head of General Affairs.
With that, a breeze picked up under his feet as he walked purposefully out of his office and headed for General Affairs.
Mu Group’s General Affairs Departnt, Moongaze Building, Twelfth Floor.
“Yina isn’t here?
Where did she go?” After exchanging smiles and greetings with a bunch of female staff in the General Affairs Departnt and learning that Xiao Yina was not there, Fei couldn’t help but ask with a hint of confusion.
“We’re not too sure; it seems she went to a eting.”
Upon finding out that Yina appeared to have gone to a eting, Fei didn’t bother to investigate further.
etings and such, to soone like Fei who inherently had little interest in work, were always kept at arm’s length.
“Hey, Vice Minister Lin, what are you doing?”
“I’m looking for your Manager Ling to discuss so personal matters of life.”
“Manager Ling has been called to a eting by President Mu.”
After failing to find Ling Weiwei, the beautiful manager of General Affairs, to talk about love, Fei chatted with the female staff of General Affairs about so personal matters between n and won.
Fei then left General Affairs Departnt, stepping lightly as he hurried toward the Marketing Departnt, where Shen Peini, the enchantress, worked.
Mu Group’s Marketing Departnt, Moongaze Building, Seventeenth Floor.
“Are you saying that Manager Shen has also been called to a eting?!” Lin Fei, who had searched the entire seventeenth floor and not found Shen Peini, the enchantress, couldn’t help but be puzzled after learning from Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen that Peini had also been summoned to a eting by Mu Shanshan, the President’s wife.
Seeing that Fei seed a bit puzzled, Gu Xiaolei leaned in closer and whispered, “Brother Lin, it’s not just Manager Shen.
It seems like all the company’s executives have been called to a eting by President Mu.
How co you didn’t get the notification?”
Faced with Gu Xiaolei’s inquiry, Fei for the first ti felt the insignificance of his position as Vice Minister of the Mu Group’s Security Departnt.
All the executives were called to a eting, leaving only him, the husband, out of the loop.
Although he knew it was most likely due to his laziness in everyday work that his wife, President Mu Shanshan, had deliberately overlooked him.
But still, being deliberately ignored by his own wife truly made Fei, the husband, feel annoyed and, well, it was a real headache…
