79: Chapter 79 Xue i’s Invitation
“Mu Group’s CEO, these people have only been temporarily misled by Han Zhenhai.
If we remove Han Zhenhai from the board of directors, I believe a large part of them would be willing to return to the company.”
Despite Shen Peini’s ntal fortitude, she was quite startled by Mu Shanshan’s statent.
Although the title of CEO largely implies frequent lay-offs, it was true that Mu Shanshan had not held back on dismissals since taking control of the Mu Group.
But this ti, it wasn’t just one or two people being laid off—it was over two hundred.
So small companies had, at most, only a few dozen employees.
Even for a large conglorate like the Mu Group, laying off over two hundred people in one go would certainly be considered a major move.
Keep in mind, these two hundred plus individuals weren’t staff from branch offices; they were all from the headquarters of the Mu Group.
If all of them were laid off, the Moongaze Building would beco noticeably quieter.
Although Ling Weiwei was one of Mu Shanshan’s confidantes, and usually deferred to Mu Shanshan’s leadership, even she couldn’t sit still at this mont.
“If we lay off all these people at once, it will inevitably affect the normal operation of the company.
Furthermore, Han Zhenhai is likely to gather these people up to start a new company.
Among those taking sick leave are so capable employees who might have control over so of the company’s business plans and client resources.
Once they set up a new company, it could pose a threat to us.”
After Ling Weiwei spoke, Shen Peini quickly chid in, “Laying off more than two hundred people at once would put us under significant pressure from the dia and public opinion.
Moreover, with the board of directors…”
Shen Peini did not finish her sentence, but even Lin Fei, who was usually indifferent to company matters, could guess what this woman was about to say.
The board of directors would likely not agree with Mu Shanshan’s lay-off plan.
Lin Fei, however, was sowhat dismissive of this.
Although he was surprised by his wife’s boldness, he ntally supported Mu Shanshan’s approach.
At first glance, Mu Shanshan’s thod might seem arbitrary and heartless.
However, it could stabilize the company’s situation in the shortest ti possible.
At the sa ti, it would serve as a deterrent to other directors and employees, further unifying the company’s internal cohesion and preventing such incidents from reoccurring to the greatest extent.
If Lin Fei were in Mu Shanshan’s position, he would also choose this thod of handling the situation.
For the first ti, Lin Fei found similarities between himself and Mu Shanshan.
“These people are a hidden danger within the company; we cannot allow them to harbor any illusions of luck.”
Mu Shanshan’s resolve made Lin Fei look at her with increasing admiration.
As if sensing Lin Fei’s gaze, Mu Shanshan took the opportunity to subtly glance at Lin Fei while sipping her coffee.
That single look allowed Mu Shanshan to see the admiration and support in Lin Fei’s eyes, sending her mind into a montary trance.
Throughout her life, Mu Shanshan had received much praise for her looks, lineage, and abilities.
However, for so reason, the encouraging admiration coming from Lin Fei’s eyes felt like a warm current, instantly heating Mu Shanshan’s entire heart.
That sensation was warm, sweet, and slightly tingling.
This feeling was unfamiliar to Mu Shanshan; she couldn’t quite describe her current state.
However, one thing she was certain of was that it made her feel comfortable.
Consequently, her gaze toward Lin Fei softened just a fraction.
As for the subtle exchange of looks between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei, Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, being won themselves, did not take too much notice.
This was mainly because both won were primarily focused on the major lay-off Mu Shanshan had ntioned and had hardly paid any attention to Lin Fei.
Even if they had noticed the small interaction between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei, they would not care much about it, let alone suspect the true relationship between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei.
The primary reason was the vast difference in status between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei.
One was the untouchable business goddess and ice queen CEO of Zhonghai, Mu Shanshan, and the other was a General Affairs Assistant who got his position through nepotism.
Nobody would associate the two as a couple.
And just as the atmosphere in the CEO’s office fell into a brief silence, Lin Fei’s outdated cell phone rang at an inopportune ti.
Feeling the gaze of three won, all three pairs of beautiful eyes staring, Lin Fei showed no embarrassnt.
After pulling out his phone and seeing an unknown number, Lin Fei without hesitation dismissed it as spam and hung up.
However, the unknown number called again shortly after Lin Fei hung up, which irked him.
Answering the call, he complained, “Who are you?
Don’t you know I’m in a eting at the CEO’s office?
You’re interrupting my mood, are you aware of that?
You’d better have sothing important to say; otherwise, I’m definitely going to block you.”
Mu Shanshan and the other two won gave Lin Fei a reproachful look, with Ling Weiwei even muttering under her breath about his shalessness.
While Lin Fei was indeed in the office, etings were entirely irrelevant to him.
If anything, it was Lin Fei who had interrupted the three won’s eting process.
Had it not been for the previous exchange of encouraging looks that had made Mu Shanshan view Lin Fei more favorably, Mu Shanshan might have been considering barring Lin Fei from her office during etings.
“Hey, goddammit, will you talk already?”
The other end of the phone was silent, and Lin Fei couldn’t help but let loose a curse.
A srizing, bell-like, seductive laughter ca from the other end of the line, tickling Lin Fei to the core as if a thousand cat paws were scratching at his heart, sending his mind reeling.
But from that laugh, Lin Fei could tell that the woman on the other end was absolutely not inferior to Shen Peini in terms of mature allure, perhaps even surpassing her by a tad.
“Laugh, my ass, who the hell are you?”
Only a few people knew Lin Fei’s cell number, three of whom were right beside him, so Lin Fei was at a loss as to who the woman giggling nonstop on the phone was.
For the mont, Lin Fei could no longer appreciate the charming laughter that had his heart racing and chided coldly.
The woman on the phone stopped laughing after being scolded coldly by Lin Fei and replied with a slight grievance in her charming voice, “Mr.
Lin, it seems the higher-ups often forget things.
After that parting at Rose Manor, how have you been?”
The person on the phone turned out to be the owner of Rose Manor and the Chairman of Thorny Rose—the very Xue i whose body Lin Fei had seen in its entirety.
Lin Fei wasn’t too surprised that Xue i had gotten hold of his cell number.
After all, Thorny Rose was one of Zhonghai’s top three gangs and was sure to have its own intelligence system.
Moreover, Lin Fei hadn’t made any effort to hide himself, so it wouldn’t be too difficult for Xue i to find his cell number.
“Speak up if you have sothing to say, let off steam if you must, but don’t hold up my eting.”
Lin Fei appreciated her charming face and sexy body, the Chairman of Thorny Rose who was voluptuous and seductive.
However, her status ant that Lin Fei, who wanted to live a quiet life, had to keep her at arm’s length.
“Lin Fei, let’s not beat around the bush.
I’d like to et with you to discuss matters concerning the Azure Dragon Gang.”
Xue i probably picked up on Lin Fei’s impatience.
She wasn’t one to dilly-dally, so she abandoned her seduction tactics and got straight to the point.
“I’ve seen enough once; I don’t want a second ti.”
Lin Fei rejected Xue i’s request to et without a second thought.
He didn’t want to get embroiled in the scuffle between Thorny Rose and the Azure Dragon Gang, no matter how perfectly sculpted Xue i’s seductive figure was.
So won, after all, are trouble if you lay eyes on them more than once.
“If I’m not mistaken, you should be in Shanshan’s office right now.” As Lin Fei was about to hang up the phone, Xue i spoke in a haunting tone, “Who would’ve thought, the esteed business goddess of Zhonghai, the dream lover of countless n, is actually already married.”
“You’re playing with fire.”
In Shanshan’s office, Lin Fei was reluctant to say too much in front of the three won present.
However, the fact that Xue i had investigated him did indeed ignite a fair bit of resentnt.
“What’s the matter, upset already?
You didn’t think of our esteed CEO Mu when you were busy undressing .
I couldn’t beat you; there was nothing I could do after you saw everything.
But I think CEO Mu will be quite happy to stand up for .
Shall I give her a call right now to see?”
A frown crossed Lin Fei’s face; he had no doubt that Xue i would really place that call to Shanshan.
“Well, how about I co over to your place tonight?”
The re thought of Shanshan’s reaction upon receiving Xue i’s call made Lin Fei’s scalp tingle.
Withstanding the various aningful gazes of the three ladies, he softened his tone and compromised temporarily with Xue i.
“Assistant Lin, who are you talking to?
Don’t tell
it’s so salon girl you owe money to, calling to collect a debt.”
Shen Peini swayed over to Lin Fei with so unknown motive, and after teasing him, she snatched away his phone without explanation.
“Don’t co too late, okay?”
Just then, Xue i whispered back to Lin Fei in a tone drenched with innuendo, making Lin Fei wonder if she was perhaps under too much stress and was looking for him to help relieve so of it.
“Wow, sounds like a booty call.
Our Assistant Lin really does have so good fortune with the ladies.”
Lin Fei was contemplating whether Xue i would try to play the seductress that evening, and Shen Peini’s comnt hit him like a bolt from the blue.
Damn it, this is the CEO’s office, for goodness’ sake; can’t you speak a bit more delicately?
Just because I don’t want to be your secretary, must you sche
into a corner like this?
Lin Fei really wanted to tug on Shen Peini’s earlobe, which was smooth as jade, and roar at the woman, “My wife is right here, you’re trying to screw
over, aren’t you?”
