The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 76 - 76 76 The Inducement Lin Fei

76: Chapter 76: The Inducement Lin Fei 76: Chapter 76: The Inducement Lin Fei “I object!”

Seeing that Ling Weiwei and Shen Peini wanted to go to Mu Shanshan to decide who he should become a secretary for, Lin Fei quickly stepped in, spreading his arms to block the women’s path.

What an international joke—the matter should be discussed privately, laughed off and let go.

Lin Fei didn’t intend to be a secretary for either Shen Peini or Ling Weiwei, especially considering his wife, Mu Shanshan.

Yet here these two women were, actually thinking about going to Mu Shanshan; they were practically dragging Lin Fei toward a firing squad.

“Oppose what, could it be that you, little brother, plan to be a secretary for both me and Director Ling at the same time?” Shen Peini’s slender fingers twirled a lock of curled hair as she gave Lin Fei a reproachful yet playful glance.

“Little brother, no offense, but thinking about playing both sides is a bad idea.”

“Your objection is invalid.”

Ling Weiwei coldly rejected Lin Fei’s protest, and the two women unusually stood on the same front on this issue.

“I think you two are mistaken; did I ever say I wanted to be a secretary for either of you?” Lin Fei’s expression darkened, he scowled and said, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to—you want a secretary to do the work, and when there’s no work, mess around with the secretary, right?

I must say, we need to consider our image in the company.

Such thoughts are unacceptable.”

“A dog can’t spit out ivory.”

“Shameless, cheap woman.”

Ling Weiwei and Shen Peini both rebuked him at the same time, each giving Lin Fei a big rolling of the eyes.

In modern companies, the relationship between bosses and secretaries was hardly ever just about work.

Ling Weiwei and Shen Peini wanted to recruit Lin Fei as their secretary, indeed harboring ulterior motives, but certainly not to spend all day in the office engaging in office thrills.

Personal feelings aside, both Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei were still very responsible when it came to work.

Even Shen Peini, as mature as she was, intending to have Lin Fei as her secretary, wanted more to keep Lin Fei close to increase their interactions—perhaps indulging in a little romance from time to time.

Office romance?

Shen Peini hadn’t thought that far.

“Move.”

Ling Weiwei’s beautiful eyes locked onto Lin Fei, glaring at him, eager to leave Shen Peini’s office as quickly as possible.

Here, Ling Weiwei felt an extreme discomfort.

“Little brother, if you don’t want us to take this matter to President Mu, that can be arranged.

After all, you are a party to this—if you choose between me and Director Ling, then we won’t need to go to President Mu for a verdict.”

Shen Peini’s seductive eyes fixed on Lin Fei, clearly trying to tempt him to choose her.

Lin Fei gave the woman an annoyed glance.

Although deep down, he indeed preferred to be the secretary for Shen Peini, preference was one thing, but reality was another.

Under no circumstances could he make such a choice.

To take up Shen Peini’s offer outright—not to mention what Mu Shanshan would say—Ling Weiwei surely wouldn’t let him off the hook, and he could only guess how she might torture him in the future.

As for Ling Weiwei, Lin Fei was at a loss for words.

Ever since he had saved her, this woman had changed her attitude towards him considerably, and Lin Fei was unclear about what she really wanted.

Not to mention Ling Weiwei, he couldn’t even explain himself to Mu Shanshan.

“I think the General Affairs Assistant position suits me just fine.”

Under the watchful eyes of Shen Peini’s alluring gaze and Ling Weiwei’s cold stare, Lin Fei gave such an answer, effectively rejecting both Ling Weiwei and Shen Peini at once.

With the wisdom of Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, how could they not understand the implicit rejection in Lin Fei’s words?

If it were any other matter, the two women might have let Lin Fei off the hook, considering their pride.

But now, neither of them was willing to let this go so easily.

Shen Peini was adamant about keeping Lin Fei tied to her side, while Ling Weiwei was determined to cultivate Lin Fei’s work capabilities.

“Since you, little brother, refuse to choose, we have no choice but to seek a decision from President Mu.”

Shen Peini couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed, not because Lin Fei didn’t opt for her directly, but because she realized Lin Fei really had no intention of being a secretary for her or Ling Weiwei.

It was a blow to her self-esteem; Shen Peini was always confident in her allure, and Ling Weiwei was recognized as the second goddess of Mu Group after Mu Shanshan.

If word got out that these two stunning beauties wanted a secretary, countless men would eagerly queue up.

But in Lin Fei’s case, the charm of both women seemed to lose its effect.

The prospect of being their secretary made Lin Fei look like he couldn’t avoid it fast enough.

If those pursuing Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei saw this, they’d probably spit on Lin Fei to death.

“Assistant Lin, please don’t waste mine and Sister Shen’s working time, step aside!”

Ling Weiwei’s face was cold as she put on the boss’s airs.

“Competing for a man during work hours, Director Ling, you really are dedicated.”

Lin Fei’s comment caused both Ling Weiwei and Shen Peini’s faces to flush a shade of crimson, almost simultaneously spitting at him in disdain.

Although Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei’s rivalry over Lin Fei as their secretary did indeed have a hint of competing for a man, Lin Fei didn’t need to be so blunt about it.

A little subtlety wouldn’t kill him, would it?

“Little brother, this is your sister’s last question, will you move or not?”

“You guys can just work in the office, with me as your guardian deity here, no one will come to disturb you.”

“If you don’t move aside, I’ll start yelling.”

“Whatever.”

“Harassment~ Harassment~”

As soon as Lin Fei finished speaking, Shen Peini reached out to open a corner of the office door and cried out loudly to the outside.

“Help me, harassment—”

Just as Lin Fei had reacted in time and reached out to cover Shen Peini’s delicate, rosy lips, Ling Weiwei had bypassed Lin Fei, pulled open the office door, and run out while shouting.

Under the call of Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, in a moment, the other female staff members of the General Affairs Department were roused and rushed towards Shen Peini’s office.

This was not so much the influence of Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei’s call, but rather because Lin Fei had a history in this regard.

Especially when the women of the General Affairs Department saw Lin Fei covering Shen Peini’s lips with one hand, while Shen Peini showed a pitiful expression begging for help, Lin Fei’s reputation as a “harassing supervisor” was thoroughly cemented.

“Sisters, let’s uphold justice and beat this unrepentant lecher to death.”

Just before being overwhelmed by a group of women, Lin Fei faintly heard Xiao Yina shouting this phrase.

Meanwhile, Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei took advantage of the great opportunity when a group of women surrounded Lin Fei, and both left the General Affairs Department’s office area.

…

“You two came to see me together just for this matter?”

On the twenty-sixth floor of Moongaze Building, Mu Shanshan’s delicate, exquisite face showed traces of astonishment.

However, it was mostly cold.

Naturally sitting opposite Mu Shanshan were Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, who had walked out of the General Affairs Department’s office area together.

Under Mu Shanshan’s inquiring gaze, both women nodded silently.

“You two really know how to give me tough puzzles,” Mu Shanshan said.

Mu Shanshan reclined slightly back, her forehead and jade back resting against the large office chair, her powerful and cold CEO aura reaching its peak in an instant.

Inside the CEO’s office, it was as though a cold wind had blown through, centering around Mu Shanshan, the temperature dropped sharply.

One couldn’t blame Mu Shanshan for changing her face so quickly.

Any woman in Mu Shanshan’s position would probably have been unable to remain calm.

Mu Shanshan’s reaction was already quite good.

Although Mu Shanshan didn’t have much feeling for Lin Fei, it didn’t change the fact that Lin Fei was her husband.

Faced with two female subordinates who requested that her husband become their secretary, the fact that Mu Shanshan didn’t slam the table and expel them was a reflection of her good upbringing.

Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei also felt the change in Mu Shanshan’s mood, but as Mu Shanshan was notoriously known as the Ice Mountain CEO, it was difficult to discern her anger just from her expression.

Therefore, Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei exchanged glances, both remaining silent with their heads down, completely leaving the decision to Mu Shanshan.

“Do you know why so many people took sick leave together today?”

Seeing that Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei kept silent, Mu Shanshan was annoyed inside but chose not to vent on the spot.

After all, to avoid affecting her prestige in the company, people were unaware of her marriage to Lin Fei.

And both Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei were not ordinary employees; one had an executive director backing her, and the other was Mu Shanshan’s trusted senior executive.

However, it was precisely because of this that Mu Shanshan became even more furious.

The CEO of Mu Group just couldn’t understand what was so good about her cheap husband Lin Fei that the only two management personnel in the General Affairs Department were fighting over him as a secretary.

Mu Shanshan would never believe the reason given by Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei to discipline Lin Fei.

Women are sensitive, and Mu Shanshan is no exception; how could she not see the abnormalities in Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei?

It’s like when children have their unique toys eyed by other children.

Even if the toy isn’t much beloved, the feeling of anger when the toy is coveted still inexplicably arises from the bottom of the heart.

Mu Shanshan didn’t wait for Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei to answer her rhetorical question, but instead provided an answer herself.

“Earlier, I received a phone call from Director Han Zhenhai, who wanted to exchange his shares to have Lin Fei at his disposal.

Today’s situation is the consequence of my refusal.”

Mu Shanshan revealed the reason for the sudden change in the working atmosphere of Mu Group and the absence of many staff members.

And the reason for such a situation, ultimately, was because of Lin Fei.

Han Zhenhai didn’t get Lin Fei, so he played this trick, with a clear intention to force Mu Shanshan into compliance.

Realizing the key issues at play, Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei’s expressions simultaneously darkened.
