492: Chapter 492: Wanting to work, acting cute and fawning over Lin Fei
It was a little past seven in the evening, inside a decent western restaurant near the Moongaze Building, where Mu Group was located.
ng Xue’er and her two friends, still new to the workforce, retained so of the innocence from their student days, yet they now bore a hint of the urban white-collar femininity.
Even though Lin Fei had resolved their school registration issues, they were all sowhat distracted, concerned about Ning Qi’s job situation as they faced the well-done steaks brought by the waiter.
Influenced by the three won, Ning Qi, the unemployed flight attendant, found the otherwise aromatic and appetizing western al sowhat tasteless.
In contrast, Lin Fei’s use of knife and fork carried a wolfish haste.
“Mr.
Lin, can you at least pay a little attention to your image?!”
Already sowhat concerned and unsure of how to comfort ng Xue’er and her friends, Ning Qi’s brows crinkled when she saw that Lin Fei’s ungraceful eating habits drew sideways glances from other patrons in the restaurant, chiding him slightly with annoyance.
“Compared to image, I care more about whether I can fill my stomach.”
Image mattered to Lin Fei on so specific occasions.
For example, when he first went abroad as a rcenary, he sotis had to make an effort with his appearance for the missions.
Or when he returned ho and accompanied Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, to certain formal gatherings.
In other tis, image wasn’t sothing Lin Fei really cared about.
It had nothing to do with quality, but rather with Lin Fei’s own experiences.
Whether serving in Dragon Soul or heading overseas to join the ranks of the rcenaries, the environnts Lin Fei often found himself in scarcely allowed for etiquette in dining.
There were many tis when he didn’t even have ti to eat.
Consuming the maximum amount of food in the shortest ti possible to maintain strength and mobility was one of the survival skills a qualified rcenary had to master.
In short, wolfing down his food was a habit born of necessity!
Comparatively speaking, Lin Fei’s current table manners, even now, were far more elegant than during his ti as a rcenary abroad.
Of course, this wasn’t sothing Lin Fei was going to waste his breath explaining to Ning Qi.
It wasn’t so much that he was too lazy to speak as it was that even if he did, Ning Qi was unlikely to believe him.
“Big Brother Lin, don’t you care at all about Sister Ning’s job situation?”
“That’s right, Big Brother Lin.
Sister Ning is always so good to us.
Could you think of a solution?
After all, you’re a high-level executive at our company—”
Ye Wenwen, who had been agreeing with Gu Xiaolei, suddenly stopped mid-sentence, realizing sothing.
Not just Ye Wenwen, but Gu Xiaolei and even ng Xue’er, who was typically gentle and demure like a delicate houseplant, also ca to a sudden realization.
Bang!
Realizing Lin Fei’s status as a top executive at Mu Group and the company’s dominant figure, Gu Xiaolei slamd her hand on the table, “I knew it, Big Brother Lin, you’re such a good person, how could you not care about Sister Ning at all?
Ah, I’m really so stupid.
Xiaolei, luckily you’re smart.”
Facing Gu Xiaolei’s “smart” complint, Ye Wenwen alternated between laughter and tears, shaking her head repeatedly, “I, I just happened to think of it too.
This ti, we were the ones who were foolish, and we wrongly blad Big Brother Lin.”
With that, Ye Wenwen’s eyes, filled with apologetic sincerity, turned towards Lin Fei, “Big Brother Lin, I’m really sorry, please don’t be mad at us.”
“Exactly, Big Brother Lin, I’m sorry, we misunderstood you.
You can’t just ignore Sister Ning’s problem because we were foolish.”
Ye Wenwen had just spoken when Gu Xiaolei refused to be outdone, coquettishly making herself cute for Lin Fei.
As for ng Xue’er, who was typically gentle and downright like a delicate jade, although she didn’t act like Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen in playfully apologizing to Lin Fei,
the look she gave Lin Fei, brimming with enough softness to lt hearts, said it all.
“Have you all taken the wrong dicine, or are your brains twitching?!”
Unlike ng Xue’er, Gu Xiaolei, and Ye Wenwen, who realized Lin Fei’s status within Mu Group, Ning Qi, still sowhat dissatisfied with Lin Fei for only caring about eating and not her personal affairs,
saw her once allies, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, coquettishly apologizing to Lin Fei.
Ning Qi couldn’t help feeling a little irked, not understanding why.
“Ning Sister, if you talk like that, you’re really going to hurt our feelings.
Oh, and by the way, we all misunderstood Big Brother Lin.
If you, Ning Sister, want to successfully interview for the job of flight attendant at the helicopter rental company started by President Mu, I advise you to quickly start currying favor with Big Brother Lin.”
“Xiaolei is right, if you, Ning Sister, don’t want to stay unemployed at ho anymore.
You really should, right away, start acting sweet and cute towards Big Brother Lin.”
Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, who were aware of Lin Fei’s status in Mu Group, were actually giving Ning Qi a friendly reminder.
Yet, Ning Qi, unaware of this fact, clearly wasn’t prepared to take their advice.
After Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen spoke, Ning Qi, visibly aggravated, rolled her eyes at them, “Sucking up to him?!
Have you both lost your minds?!”
Even though Ning Qi, the unemployed flight attendant, had rolled in the sheets with Lin Fei a couple of tis.
But getting intimate like that didn’t an they had a true connection.
With Ning Qi’s temperant, acting sweet and cute to Lin Fei was more agonizing than simply joining him in bed.
Seeing Ning Qi seem displeased, Gu Xiaolei’s eyes danced with mirth, and she let out a soft chuckle, “Ning Sister, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
You do know that Big Brother Lin is a high-level executive at our company, right?”
“Since when does soone from security count as a high-level executive?!”
Although Ning Qi, unlike ng Xue’er, did not work at Mu Group, she had known Lin Fei for more than a day or two.
She was sowhat aware of his role as the deputy director of Mu Group’s Security Departnt.
It’s just that she never really took his deputy director status seriously.
“Cough cough, Ning Sister, there’s sothing you don’t know.
In addition to being our company’s deputy director of the Security Departnt, Lin Fei is also a favorite in front of President Mu.”
As Gu Xiaolei’s playful, chuckled words settled, Ning Qi, who had previously been indifferent to Lin Fei’s role as deputy director of Mu Group’s Security Departnt, was taken aback.
Although Ning Qi, the unemployed flight attendant, was not an employee of Mu Group, she was sowhat familiar with Mu Shanshan, the well-known business goddess of Zhonghai.
There were things she couldn’t be sure about, but at least the fact that Mu Shanshan, the icy president, was leading the establishnt of the helicopter rental company was clear to Ning Qi.
Ning Qi was initially lacking the confidence to apply for the position of flight attendant at the helicopter rental company that Mu Shanshan was planning to establish because she had been fired from the airline.
Suddenly hearing from Gu Xiaolei that Lin Fei was now in favor with Mu Shanshan,
that was indeed great news to Ning Qi, who didn’t want to remain unemployed at ho and was reluctant to take on any other job…
