74: Chapter 74: What about 500?

Lin Fei’s response was absolutely sincere, without a trace of pretense.

Men have different preferences for women, and among a hundred men, there might be a hundred answers.

However, it’s undeniable that Lin Fei’s response might not be the perfect one, but it was definitely one most men would agree with.

“I only asked you to answer, not to take any action.”

Unexpectedly, after all the anticipation and tension, she got such an answer from Lin Fei.

It was basically nonsense—as if nothing had been said at all—causing her unnecessary anticipation and emotional turmoil.

This was Lin Fei’s consistent attitude toward women.

He might be a rogue, but he had his inviolable principles.

“So, you’re saying you like me?”

Lin Fei said seriously and truthfully.

“Shen, are you in there?”

“Do you think I should let our Manager Ling in, or not?”

Shen Peini didn’t respond to Ling Weiwei’s question outside the door; instead, those narrow and seductive eyes turned towards Lin Fei.

“This is your office, right?

Since our Manager Ling is here to see you, it must be for work.

I’ll excuse myself now.”

Though it seemed trivial, Ling Weiwei was a confidante of Mu Shanshan.

If Ling became upset and complained to Mu Shanshan, Lin would suffer terribly under the joint force of Shanshan and Ling.

A CEO and a General Affairs Director—if these two teamed up, unless Lin left the Mu Group, he would be played to death by the two women.

“Really?”

“Do you believe it now?”

With no choice, Lin Fei had to temporarily cease his exploration of Shen Peini’s “Saintess Peak.”

“Hurry up and open the door.”

“What’s the hold-up?

Open the door quickly, or do you really think I wouldn’t dare do anything to you?”

“Shen, what are you doing?

Why is it taking so long…”

When Ling Weiwei saw Lin Fei sitting in Shen Peini’s office chair, her words abruptly stopped.

“Manager Ling, what a coincidence, you’re here to talk to Supervisor Shen about work?

That’s fortunate; we just finished our discussion.

Go ahead, take your turn.”

Seeing the suddenly frosty look in Ling Weiwei’s eyes, Lin knew she was probably overthinking.

“It really is quite a coincidence.

It seems I came at an inappropriate time; I hope I didn’t interrupt anything important for Assistant Lin.”

Ling Weiwei’s face was cold as ice, and her beautiful eyes stared straight at Lin, emphasizing the word “important very keenly.”

“Manager Ling, please don’t misunderstand; there’s nothing—absolutely nothing—going on between me and Lin.

We were merely discussing work.

It’s just that it got a bit heated momentarily…”

Shen Peini started explaining before Lin could respond, making the situation quite awkward for him.

This was hardly an explanation; it was practically throwing Lin Fei under the bus.

It would have been better not to explain at all.

Lin glared fiercely at Shen Peini, while she, appearing as though she had been greatly wronged, lowered her head and nervously fiddled with the hem of her outfit.

This was unfair; there was no excuse for this.

The chill emanating from Ling Weiwei was palpable, even from several steps away.

If looks could kill, Lin believed he would have been frozen to death by Ling’s gaze several times over.

“It seems I really came at a bad time, so I won’t disturb Assistant Lin and Shen’s discussion anymore.

However, this is a company environment, so please, Assistant Lin, be mindful of the impression.”

Set up by Shen Peini and threatened by Ling Weiwei’s cold stares, Lin was no longer in the mood to stay in the office.

He got up and walked directly toward the exit.

If it had been Mu Shanshan, Lin really wouldn’t know how to resolve it.

After all, Ling was only his superior, and aside from a little ambiguity, there was nothing sexual between them.

Lin did not feel the need to explain himself to Ling at length.

“Little brother, remember your promise to become my secretary.

Don’t back out.”

Just as Lin was about to leave, Shen Peini was not ready to let him go so easily, and in that moment as he was about to leave her office, she added fuel to the fire.

Lin was also infuriated by Shen Peini, who seemed relentless in her scheming.

He really wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
