Chapter 915: Chapter 917: ng Ke’er Goes to Mu Group to Find Lin Fei
Monday.
A little past 9 am.
The headquarters of Mu Group, the Moongaze Building.
The reception desk.
"Xue’er, you don’t know. When I saw the news about the theatre heist and explosion, I was so worried. It’s a relief that you’re okay; otherwise—oh, I can’t even bear to think about it..." ng Xue’er’s colleague at the front desk, Li i, expressed her concern, knowing that ng Xue’er had gone to ng Ke’er’s concert on Saturday.
After expressing her lingering worry to ng Xue’er, and seeing no one else around, fellow ng Ke’er fan Li i couldn’t help but gossip quietly, asking ng Xue’er, "Xue’er, tell
honestly, is ng Ke’er really that beautiful? And is her singing really that good? Also, I’ve heard that before the robbers kidnapped her, ng Ke’er confessed to a man nad Lin Fei during her performance—"
"That’s not true!"
As Li i ntioned Lin Fei, ng Xue’er imdiately, a bit agitated, responded repeatedly, "No, really no, I, I—anyway, anyway, the situation, the situation is not, not like what you heard. It’s all, all,..."
Considering that Lin Fei had specifically reminded her not to discuss ng Keer’s gratitude performance to him in the company, ng Xue’er was determined to completely deny what Li i said.
Unfortunately, for soone like ng Xue’er, with her overly innocent nature, telling lies was obviously quite difficult.
Thankfully, Li i hurriedly tried to comfort ng Xue’er, saying, "Alright, alright, Xue’er. I understand what you an, I was just casually asking, didn’t an anything by it."
After comforting ng Xue’er, Li i, still a bit doubtful, murmured to herself, "Co to think of it, these gossip journalists nowadays, they dare to spread any rumor. Even for soone as scandal-free as the popular star ng Ke’er, they dare to make things up. Xue’er, you don’t know, at first when I heard this rumor, I thought they were talking about our Vice Minister Lin. Xue’er, you must find that amusing too, right?"
As soon as Li i finished speaking, a graceful woman wearing large tea-colored sunglasses and a white mask, guided by the security guard on duty at the entrance, walked casually to the front desk.
Seeing soone approaching, ng Xue’er, not knowing how to respond to Li i, took the opportunity to stand up and smiled, "Hello, ma’am."
"Hello, I, I’m looking for Mr. Lin Fei from your company."
"Lin—excuse , ma’am, are you looking for Lin Fei, Vice Minister Lin?"
"Yes, yes, Lin Fei, Vice Minister Lin."
"Okay, may I ask if you have an appointnt, ma’am?"
"Ah? Oh, I, I don’t have an appointnt, but, but, I, I am your Lin, Lin—"
Hearing the conversation between ng Xue’er and the visitor, Li i knew that ng Xue’er didn’t know how to refuse people. Therefore, when she heard that the heavily disguised visitor didn’t have an appointnt with Lin Fei,
Li i imdiately stood up to intervene, "Sorry, ma’am. Our company has a policy that if you want to see one of our executives, you need to have an appointnt in advance. And, ma’am, it’s quite unfortunate because today Vice Minister Lin didn’t co to work."
"He, he didn’t co to work? Is he on a business trip, or—"
"Sorry, ma’am, we really don’t know. If you have an urgent matter, we can contact Vice Minister Lin’s secretary now. Currently, most of Vice Minister Lin’s work is being handled by Secretary Xiao."
"No, no need. I’ll co back another day."
Declining Li i’s suggestion to help contact Lin Fei’s secretary Xiao Yina, the visitor turned to leave as soon as she finished speaking.
Just as the gracefully covered woman turned around, after a brief silence, ng Xue’er suddenly spoke up, "Wait, wait a mont."
After stopping the visitor, under Li i’s slightly puzzled gaze, ng Xue’er bit her lip lightly, and with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, asked, "Excuse , are you Miss ng Ke’er?"
ng Xue’er’s sudden question not only surprised Li i, leaving her mouth slightly open and eyes wide, but also took the heavily disguised ng Ke’er by surprise.
Luckily, ng Ke’er reacted quickly. After a brief mont of surprise, she imdiately denied, "You, you’ve got the wrong person. I, I’m not ng Ke’er. You really have the wrong person."
"No, I, I can’t be mistaken. The night before last, I, I went with Lin, Brother Lin, to your, Miss ng’s concert. I, I rember your voice, Miss ng. I can’t be mistaken."
Before ng Ke’er could respond to ng Xue’er’s words, Li i leaned closer to ng Xue’er, tugged at her sleeve, and whispered, "Xue’er, you, you can’t be mistaken, right? ng Ke’er, a big star like that, how, how could she co to our company to look for Vice Minister Lin."
Hearing Li i’s skepticism, ng Xue’er stubbornly shook her head, "No, I, I can’t be mistaken. And, and Brother Lin also, also told
before that he, he knows you, Miss ng."
Not long after ng Xue’er finished speaking, ng Ke’er, who initially intended to leave, stopped in her tracks because she understood from ng Xue’er’s words that the ’Brother Lin’ she was referring to was Lin Fei. Slightly surprised, she asked ng Xue’er, "Could it be, the Mr. Lin you’re talking about is Lin Fei, Vice Minister Lin?"
"Yes." Nodding in response to ng Ke’er while looking a bit complicated, ng Xue’er asked, "Miss ng, did you co to see Brother Lin for sothing? I an nothing else. If you really have an urgent matter with Brother Lin, I can help you call him."
"Miss ng, you’re not from our company, so you might not know. Brother Lin’s working hours are not fixed. If you don’t have an appointnt, there’s a good chance that even if you co another ti, Brother Lin might not be in the office."
Hearing ng Xue’er’s words, ng Ke’er’s brows couldn’t help but furrow slightly. And this reaction from her undoubtedly confird to both ng Xue’er and Li i that she was indeed ng Ke’er...
