The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 72 - 72 72 In Broad Daylight

72: Chapter 72 In Broad Daylight 72: Chapter 72 In Broad Daylight It was a little past nine in the morning when Lin Fei showed up at the Moongaze Building, where Mu Group was located.

By that time, he was already late for work.

However, Lin Fei had never adhered to the usual office hours, and arriving at the Moongaze Building a little after nine was actually quite early for him.

“Something seems off.”

After stepping into the floor occupied by Mu Group in the Moongaze Building, Lin Fei keenly sensed that something was amiss in the company atmosphere.

Under the leadership of Mu Shanshan, the employees of Mu Group were highly motivated and efficient.

This was directly related to Mu Shanshan’s personality and her leadership approach, which was characterized by clear rewards and punishments.

In short, employees at Mu Group rarely slacked off during work hours.

Of course, Lin Fei was an exception, and Mu Shanshan never really treated him like a regular employee.

Otherwise, based on Lin Fei’s behavior in the General Affairs Department, he would have been fired countless times already.

Even those who slacked off during work hours did so very stealthily.

But today, the employees of Mu Group were clearly not in their usual state.

The receptionist was whispering secretly, and while there usually were four security guards at the door, today there was only one.

Occasionally, employees from other departments who passed by Lin Fei also mostly looked worried.

The entire Mu Group seemed like a storm was about to break.

It wasn’t until Lin Fei entered the office area of the General Affairs Department that he finally found a bit of the usual work atmosphere.

Inside the General Affairs Department, most of the female employees were immersed in work, and the atmosphere was noticeably more serious compared to a few days ago when Lin Fei had just taken up his post.

“Yina, come on and spill the beans, what happened in the company?”

Lin Fei approached Xiao Yina’s cubicle, bent down slightly, and asked cheerfully.

Xiao Yina, dressed in a light coffee-colored business suit, was startled by Lin Fei suddenly appearing beside her.

She opened her mouth in surprise, glared at him, and softly scolded, “Lin Fei, can’t you speak properly?

We are colleagues, and I have seniority over you, why should I report to you?”

“I am a General Affairs Assistant, just half a rank below Weiwei.

I guess that kind of makes me your boss.

Sweetie, I’m warning you, I haven’t crossed the line with you, which is already very magnanimous of me.

If you don’t report to me soon, I might just have to do it tonight.”

Lin Fei flaunted his position as General Affairs Assistant with an air of superiority.

Despite his efforts, Xiao Yina clearly wasn’t buying it.

Her cheeks blushed slightly, and she couldn’t help spitting at Lin Fei, “Stop it, you.

If you want to take advantage, wait until you’re a deputy director.

As a General Affairs Assistant, you’re not much better than a security guard.”

“Yina, it seems you’re determined not to update me, right?

Since that’s the case, I’ll just have to reluctantly use my charms on you.”

As he spoke, Lin Fei squeezed into Xiao Yina’s cubicle.

“Stinky Lin Fei, cut it out, not today.”

Lin Fei looked at Xiao Yina doubtfully from head to toe.

He didn’t plan on really doing anything to Xiao Yina; he just purely wanted to find out what was going on in the company.

But judging by Xiao Yina’s demeanor, it seemed like she was on her period.

Xiao Yina suddenly punched Lin Fei in the chest, her pretty oval face tightening, “I’ll tell you the truth, something big happened in the company.

As for what it is, don’t ask anymore, it’s not for you to know.”

Lin Fei indifferently responded to Xiao Yina.

“Oh, isn’t this our Assistant Lin?

I was just looking for you.

You’re not busy, are you?”

A whiff of mature femininity drifted over; Lin Fei didn’t need to turn around or even hear the voice.

Just from that fragrance alone, he could tell who it was.

In the entire General Affairs Department, although there were a few mature women, none had this delicate mature fragrance and an enchanting, enticing voice except for Shen Peini.

“Shen, Shen sister.”

However, the arrival of Shen Peini kind of saved Lin Fei.

Xiao Yina quickly pushed Lin Fei out of her cubicle, stood up, and greeted Shen Peini.

“I say, Peini—Manager Shen, didn’t you see I was discussing work with Yina?”

Lin Fei looked at Shen Peini with a face full of dissatisfaction, showing not even a hint of embarrassment.

In fact, Lin Fei hadn’t felt any awkwardness at all; on his very first day at work, he had daringly played several women by pretending to be just a nominal General Affairs Assistant.

If Mu Shanshan had come, Lin Fei might have felt a bit embarrassed.

But as for Shen Peini, this enchantress—since they were so familiar with each other, there was naturally no need for any awkwardness.

Lin Fei was indifferent toward Shen Peini, but that didn’t mean Xiao Yina had the thick skin to match his.

Xiao Yina’s pretty oval face instantly flushed red, and even her jade-like earlobes seemed to take on a rosy tint.

As Shen Peini was Xiao Yina’s supervisor, under a burst of embarrassment and anger, Xiao Yina’s shiny high heels brutally stomped down on Lin Fei’s foot.

Not only that, but in her shame and fury, Xiao Yina twisted her foot while it was still on Lin Fei’s foot.

“Pfft—”

Shen Peini couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

Her laugh even carried a hint of seduction, which quite stirred Lin Fei.

“Hiss—”

“Murder, murdering her own husband—”

Xiao Yina nearly shattered her silver teeth, wishing she could take off her high heels and throw them hard at Lin Fei’s head.

If Lin Fei had said those foolish things in private, it might have been okay.

But this was in front of Shen Peini.

The thought that Shen Peini might think less of her because of Lin Fei’s nonsensical words almost made Xiao Yina burst into tears.

“Shen sister, you, please don’t listen to Lin Fei’s nonsense.

Between him and me—”

Xiao Yina stamped her feet several times, shot Lin Fei a fierce look, and quickly explained to Shen Peini, trying to prove her innocence with Lin Fei.

“Alright, I know what kind of person he is,” Shen Peini soothed Xiao Yina by patting her soft hand a couple of times.

Turning around, Shen Peini, brimming with allure, glanced at Lin Fei, “Assistant Lin, I actually came specifically to find you.

Could you possibly spare some time for me?”

Lin Fei internally exclaimed, This is like a booty call.

It was broad daylight, and yet, right in front of Xiao Yina, Shen Peini dared to seduce him so brazenly.

The world truly had changed; people no longer held the old values.

Could it be that she planned to engage in an office romance during the day?

This was just too—too understanding of Lin Fei’s thoughts.

“Seeing as you’re so enthusiastic, Supervisor Shen, I’ll stop by your office once I’m done here.”

He really thought highly of himself, as if nobody knew what being a General Affairs Assistant entailed.

Busy, his ass—more like busy flirting with female colleagues.

Lin Fei’s reluctant attitude, seen through Xiao Yina’s eyes, caused her to grit her teeth in silent anger, almost wishing she could kick him twice.

“Since that’s the case, this humble lady awaits your esteemed visit.”

Shen Peini performed an ancient-style bow, swaying her curvy waist as she glanced back and walked into her office.

“Lin Fei, you better behave in Shen sister’s office.

She’s not someone you can just tease,”

Xiao Yina, seeing how Lin Fei repeatedly disrespected Shen Peini, feared Shen might harbor silent anger.

Out of kindness, Xiao Yina gently warned Lin Fei.

“You should be worried about whether she’ll tease me.”

Lin Fei secretly scoffed.

With Shen Peini’s unsatisfied seductive provocations, there was no need for Lin Fei to tease her.

“You—”

Xiao Yina, not privy to the intricacies between Lin Fei and Shen Peini, thought Lin Fei wasn’t taking her seriously.

Right then, Xiao Yina pulled Lin Fei aside, her lips slightly parted as she whispered softly, “There’s a conflict among the company’s upper management, and big moves are sure to follow.

You’d better keep a low profile these days and avoid giving anyone leverage against you.

Even President Ling can’t protect you if something happens.

Just listen to me this time.

Once these days are over, you can do whatever you like.”

“Isn’t that convenient, the company having issues too?

Don’t tell me you came up with this excuse just to keep me from touching you.” Lin Fei gave a knowing look, patted Xiao Yina’s fragrant shoulder, and comforted her, “Don’t worry, I won’t force you these days.

We’ll have plenty of time later, and a few days won’t make a difference.”

“Not a few days—”

Damn, that’s shameless.

How can anyone be so shameless?

There’s no way to continue this conversation.

Xiao Yina almost collapsed, and had it not been for the presence of many colleagues in the office, she might have already charged at Lin Fei in a fight.

Xiao Yina’s caution made Lin Fei somewhat understand the reason behind the significant changes in Mu Group’s work atmosphere.

With high-level conflicts and only a few board members in Mu Group, one didn’t need to think hard to suspect Han Zhenhai’s involvement.

After all, Xiao Yina was just a regular employee and didn’t know much.

So, Lin Fei didn’t bother asking her more.

He directly headed towards Shen Peini’s office.
