36: Chapter 36: Being Followed

“If you want to hold a place in my heart, then show

so achievents.”

This was the text ssage Mu Shanshan sent to Lin Fei, which left Lin Fei utterly confused, yet he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, Lin Fei was feeling guilty like a thief for overthinking.

How could a large corporation like Mu Group possibly install caras in the offices of managent staff?

Doesn’t everyone have so privacy?

If Mu Shanshan really did that, she would probably be ousted by the outcry of the managent staff before Han Zhenhai and the others could make a move.

In the president’s office on the twenty-sixth floor of the Moongaze Building, the devastatingly beautiful Mu Shanshan sipped her coffee gently.

She had just learned about the incident from Ling Weiwei.

Only then did she realize that she might have wronged Lin Fei.

Rembering the past six months of marriage, Lin Fei had been constantly making her angry, and now that the man suddenly started to care about her, Mu Shanshan found it sowhat uncomfortable.

Although they were husband and wife, their marriage had been more or less separate affairs.

Lin Fei’s sudden concern stirred ripples in Mu Shanshan’s heart.

At the beginning of their marriage, Mu Shanshan also thought about changing Lin Fei, but after a period of trying, she completely lost hope in him.

In Mu Shanshan’s eyes, Lin Fei was just a useless blob of mud.

Now, Lin Fei had taken the initiative to start caring about the company’s affairs, which to Mu Shanshan, was a sign that Lin Fei was getting on the right track.

After thinking it over, Mu Shanshan sent that encouraging text ssage to Lin Fei.

However, Mu Shanshan had ultimately overestimated Lin Fei.

Lin Fei’s concern was never about company affairs; it was about Mu Shanshan herself.

Although Mu Group was worth tens of billions, in Lin Fei’s eyes, it was rely a synonym for numbers and symbols.

If not for worrying about Mu Shanshan’s situation, Lin Fei couldn’t care less about the company’s executive decisions.

As Mu Shanshan rested her chin in her soft hand, pondering the relationship between her and Lin Fei, her phone received a reply ssage from Lin Fei.

Mu Shanshan picked up the phone, opened the ssage, and a second later, the woman’s stunningly beautiful face turned cold as ice, her mind consud by one thought: Lin Fei, this bastard, is hopeless!

Lin Fei’s reply ssage read, “What if I want to take you to bed?”

Naturally, Lin Fei had no idea that his ssage had instantly obliterated the sliver of goodwill Mu Shanshan had started to feel towards him.

Even if Lin Fei fully understood Mu Shanshan’s thoughts at that mont, he would not regret sending that ssage.

Mu Shanshan’s thoughts were clear to him; the woman simply wanted him to work hard, in essence, hoping him to turn into a successful man.

However, Lin Fei had no interest in business affairs.

He was accustod to a life of freedom and indulgence, and the idea of being cooped up in an office from nine to five, sifting through docunts and flying around for business negotiations, was more unbearable to him than death itself.

Mu Shanshan’s expectation for him to suddenly beco successful was sothing Lin Fei recognized he could never fulfill.

Rather than letting Mu Shanshan harbor hope, he preferred to crush it now to prevent greater disappointnt in the future.

Lin Fei’s only wish was for ti to pass, faster and then even faster, until it was ti to clock out imdiately, so he could fully enjoy the delights of the evening with the enticing Shen Peini.

Seeing that Shen Peini was almost within reach, Lin Fei lost interest in teasing the other won in the General Affairs Departnt and simply hunkered down in his cubicle to play computer gas and pass the ti.

After several rounds of gas, encountering a couple of poor players, despite Lin Fei’s quick reflexes and superior skills, he was unable to turn the tide of defeat.

An afternoon passed by in the realm of gaming.

He was lucky that he hadn’t encountered any more such pathetic players; otherwise, the urge to smash the computer was imminent.

Winning several rounds, the afternoon passed pleasantly.

The only thing that upset Lin Fei was that Xiao Yina, that little minx, would occasionally pass by Lin Fei’s spot and give the man several fierce glares.

Her glares were as if Lin Fei owed her a significant amount of money, making him rather depressed.

Just as Lin Fei was considering whether to take the opportunity after work to pull Xiao Yina into a corner for a “heart-to-heart” talk, the goddess Shen Peini ca out of her office.

She subtly signaled Lin Fei with an inviting, seductive gesture, igniting a fire within him.

Lin Fei couldn’t care less about anything else and followed Shen Peini out of the General Affairs Departnt.

In the underground parking lot of the Moongaze Building, Lin Fei slipped into Shen Peini’s Audi Q7.

He marveled to himself that Shen Peini certainly lived up to her connected background.

Mu Shanshan, as the chairwoman of Mu Group, only drove a BMW.

That a supervisor like Shen Peini could afford a car nearly as valuable as the president’s vehicle was also no wonder why Ling Weiwei tried to entice Lin Fei to help win over Shen Peini.

Of course, this didn’t an that Shen Peini had the financial power to compete with Mu Shanshan.

On the contrary, there were won in Zhonghai who were wealthier than Mu Shanshan, but Shen Peini was definitely not one of them.

Even Shen Peini’s aunt, a director of Mu Group, couldn’t match Mu Shanshan’s financial strength.

It could only be said that Mu Shanshan was more low-key.

With so many luxury cars in the garage, she chose the cheapest one as her daily commuter.

Lin Fei suddenly realized with sadness that it seed like all the won around him owned cars.

Even Xu Yingying, that schoolgirl, Lin Fei had once seen her driving a small rcedes coupe.

Damn it, when he got back, he would have to demand a car from Mu Shanshan, no matter what.

With so many cars sitting idle in the garage, it was just too wasteful.

Lin Fei felt he had a duty to stop Mu Shanshan from such waste.

“What are you thinking about?”

Seeing Lin Fei get into the car with no intention of speaking and abnormally silent, Shen Peini couldn’t help but voice her curiosity.

“I was thinking that playing around in this car would probably feel amazing.”

Brought back to his senses by Shen Peini’s question, Lin Fei pretended to survey the car’s interior decor and made a serious statent.

Shen Peini’s jade hand slipped on the steering wheel, nearly colliding with the adjacent car, and the woman quickly steadied her mind and gave Lin Fei a displeased glance, “You rascal, you don’t pick your monts to speak.

Can’t you consider my feelings?

I’m driving here, and if you spout nonsense again, believe it or not, I might just wreck both the car and us.”

“To die beneath peony flowers, I would be a romantic even in the afterlife; to have you accompany

on the road to the netherworld would certainly be a win.”

Lin Fei felt aggrieved; he really hadn’t intended to tease the woman.

But he couldn’t help it, having been lost in his own thoughts just now—he certainly couldn’t tell Shen Peini he’d been considering how to nick a car from Mu Shanshan’s garage.

If he really said that, Lin Fei believed that the look Shen Peini gave him would be far more than just reproachful—disdain and contempt would certainly be in her eyes, not to ntion she might even mock him with phrases like ‘a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh.’

“Wishful thinking.”

Shen Peini shot Lin Fei a flirtatious look but lost the interest in bickering with him.

As an international tropolis, Zhonghai’s roads were already congested and even more so during the rush hour after work.

Lin Fei’s mouth was truly insufferable, and Shen Peini was sowhat worried that bickering with him would distract her and possibly lead to an accident, which would certainly be a loss not worth the gain.

Lin Fei also noticed that Shen Peini was mostly concentrating on driving, so he didn’t purposefully flirt with her anymore.

There was plenty of ti in the long night ahead.

“Penny, have you ever thought about developing in another departnt?”

Lin Fei hadn’t forgotten the task Ling Weiwei had assigned to him, but he also had his own thoughts.

There could hardly be two tigers on one mountain; if Shen Peini stayed in the General Affairs Departnt, then Ling Weiwei would inevitably have to make concessions to get Shen Peini to lean toward Mu Shanshan’s side.

Instead of the two won battling it out in the sa departnt, it would be better to have Shen Peini develop in another one.

“All you n are up to no good, always thinking about what’s in the pot while eating what’s in your bowl.

Sitting in my car, yet you speak for Ling Weiwei.

Aren’t you afraid of making her jealous?”

Shen Peini’s words carried a hint of anger, and if she hadn’t needed to focus on driving, Lin Fei’s soft flesh might already be pinched by the “Two-finger Zen.”

Lin Fei blushed; although making a beauty like Shen Peini jealous could be a sense of achievent, it clearly wasn’t appropriate at this ti.

“Actually, it’s really not what you think.”

Lin Fei then told Shen Peini everything about Mu Shanshan’s fallout with Han Zhenhai and how Ling Weiwei had entrusted him to reconcile their relationship.

After saying all this, Lin Fei didn’t say anymore.

Shen Peini was a smart woman and didn’t need Lin Fei to analyze extra for her.

As for what choice she would make, Lin Fei didn’t intend to interfere.

Although Lin Fei hoped that by winning over Shen Peini, the director behind her would stand with Mu Shanshan’s side.

But he wasn’t about to force Shen Peini.

Mu Shanshan was his wife, Lin Fei, and he was duty-bound to help her through difficult tis.

Likewise, Lin Fei also possessed the ability to help Mu Shanshan overco challenges alone.

The reason for winning over Shen Peini was simple: having one more ally was always a good thing.

“Then why don’t you suggest Ling Weiwei leave the General Affairs Departnt?

I’ve been in the departnt no less than her, and moreover, you are the ones asking

for a favor.”

After mulling it over for a while, Shen Peini spoke leisurely, and one could discern a touch of displeasure and a faint trace of jealousy in her words if listening carefully.

But Lin Fei couldn’t afford to pay attention to Shen Peini’s thoughts at this mont because he suddenly noticed that two cars had been following them the whole ti.

In short, they were being tailed.

Since Shen Peini was not driving fast and there were many cars on the road during rush hour, Lin Fei didn’t realize at first that they were being followed.

Of course, the main reason was that life had been comfortable in China for over half a year, which had caused Lin Fei to let his guard down sowhat.
