Chapter 77 - 77 77 The Goddess Mu Gets Jealous Lin Fei Shows His Loyalty

77: Chapter 77: The Goddess Mu Gets Jealous, Lin Fei Shows His Loyalty 77: Chapter 77: The Goddess Mu Gets Jealous, Lin Fei Shows His Loyalty Ling Weiwei and Shen Peini had both heard about the large number of Mu Group employees taking sick leave and not coming to work.

The two women also guessed that Han Zhenhai was behind this matter, but they could never have imagined that Han Zhenhai would use this as leverage to try to make Mu Shanshan hand over Lin Fei.

Perhaps other employees of Mu Group would think Han Zhenhai had gone completely mad for what he was doing, but Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei understood that Han Zhenhai had his own reasons for doing so.

Han Zhenhai had only had children late in life, and with the death of Han Qiming, the Han Family had completely lost its future generations.

Under such circumstances, where would Han Zhenhai care about anything else?

That he had not hired someone to commit murder was already rational enough.

Of course, this was mainly because Han Zhenhai was wary of the Mu Family; after all, Mu Shanshan had told him before that Lin Fei had joined the company through Mu Hong’s connections.

It was also based on this consideration that Han Zhenhai approached Mu Shanshan, hoping to use his shares in the Mu Group as a bargaining chip to make the Mu Family let go of Lin Fei.

Han Zhenhai didn’t know that Lin Fei was Mu Shanshan’s husband, and of course, he didn’t understand why Mu Shanshan would resolutely refuse him.

However, this did not hinder his retaliatory actions against Lin Fei or the entire Mu Group.

Mu Shanshan’s repeated protection of Lin Fei had caused Han Zhenhai to also bear a grudge against Mu Shanshan.

Originally, Mu Shanshan had thought about bringing Lin Fei up to ask clearly what outrageous act her own husband had done to provoke Han Zhenhai to the point where he was willing to give up his shares in Mu Group and even damage his own interests to take revenge on Mu Group.

Mu Shanshan hadn’t yet called Lin Fei when Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei found their way to her office first.

“President Mu, Han Zhenhai, out of personal spite, disregards the company’s interests.

I will call my aunt, and I believe she will never let Han Zhenhai damage the company’s interests like this.”

Shen Peini was the first to break the silence in the president’s office, and with her statement, Han Zhenhai was pushed opposing the overall interests of the company, while she invoked her aunt.

Under normal circumstances, Shen Peini would never speak so hastily; her words, to some extent, were already representing her aunt’s stance.

This was greatly inconsistent with her aunt’s usual neutral position.

Even if Han Zhenhai’s actions did indeed harm the interests of the Mu Group, it was ultimately a struggle between two factions, and such a direct statement from Shen Peini was not very wise.

In the high-level power play, a redistribution of interests is inevitable, and even if Shen Peini’s aunt was thinking of standing with Mu Shanshan, she wouldn’t be as direct.

She would demand some conditions in exchange for her support.

Having worked in the professional world for years, Shen Peini surely understood these subtleties, but the matter involved Lin Fei, so she couldn’t care less.

With Han Zhenhai using his shares in the Mu Group as leverage and a large number of employees taking sick leave as a threat, Shen Peini had reason to worry that Mu Shanshan would not be able to withstand the pressure or would be tempted to hand over Lin Fei, not knowing the marital relationship between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan.

It was for this reason that Shen Peini invoked her aunt, hoping to have this trump card move Mu Shanshan and thus force Mu Shanshan to take action against Han Zhenhai.

Mu Shanshan gave Shen Peini a slight nod, and Shen Peini’s stance was good news for Mu Shanshan, no matter what.

However, Mu Shanshan didn’t feel much excitement.

Mu Shanshan saw Shen Peini’s quick position-taking all through the process.

Without the factor of Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan would have never believed it.

Before, Mu Shanshan had extended an olive branch to Shen Peini, but Shen Peini had perfectly inherited her aunt’s neutral stance and showed little intention of leaning toward Mu Shanshan.

Now, because of her own bargain husband, Shen Peini didn’t think twice before taking a stance, leaving Mu Shanshan with a sudden pang of sourness in her heart.

This was a feeling Mu Shanshan had never experienced before.

“Assistant Lin is from our General Affairs Department, he has not violated company regulations and has not done anything to harm the interests of the company.”

Ling Weiwei spoke after Shen Peini.

It sounded as if Ling Weiwei was objectively judging Lin Fei, but Shen Peini and Mu Shanshan, who were not newcomers to the workplace, both heard the hidden protective meaning in Ling Weiwei’s words.

Ling Weiwei was different from Shen Peini; she was a confidante of Mu Shanshan and naturally couldn’t criticize Han Zhenhai as straightforwardly as Shen Peini before understanding Mu Shanshan’s intentions.

However, what Ling Weiwei said was sufficient to convey her personal opinion.

Shen Peini subtly pulled Ling Weiwei’s hand and gently squeezed it twice as encouragement.

As for Han Zhenhai’s unreasonable demand, Mu Shanshan naturally would not agree.

This was not just because Lin Fei was her husband, but also because it conflicted with Mu Shanshan’s personal principles.

Mu Shanshan had her own principles and, by nature, she would never hand over the company employees to Han Zhenhai under threat.

However, with Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei making their stances known one after another, the matter seemed to take on a different taste.

If Lin Fei were just an ordinary employee, that wouldn’t matter, and Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei would be able to maintain an ordinary employee together, Mu Shanshan would be very happy.

But the problem is, Lin Fei is Mu Shanshan’s husband.

Two female subordinates, declaring their stance one after the other for Lin Fei, didn’t excite Mu Shanshan at all; instead, she felt a sourness in her heart.

Mu Shanshan didn’t know if this feeling was jealousy, and even if she did know, this woman would most likely not admit it.

“I had someone tally it up earlier.

Today, there were a total of 235 people who called in sick and didn’t come to work.

The absence spans across four departments: Marketing, Finance, Public Relations, and the Security Department.

If these people insist on not coming to work for three days, you don’t need me to explain what would happen to the company, do you?”

Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei both turned solemn, and for a moment, both women fell silent.

Initially, they were only worried that Han Zhenhai would harm Lin Fei, and out of concern, they hadn’t thought about the implications, only focusing on how they could protect Lin Fei.

235 people not coming to work, when compared to Mu Group, which has nearly ten thousand employees, these 235 people could only amount to a tiny fraction.

However, these 235 are all employees at the headquarters of Mu Group.

Although Mu Group has nearly ten thousand employees, the headquarters in the Moongaze Building only has over a thousand.

These 235 people make up nearly a quarter of the headquarters’ staff.

If these people don’t come to work for three days, the entirety of Mu Group’s headquarters, even if not paralyzed, would certainly not operate smoothly.

And the media’s reports, the public’s speculation, would be enough to give Mu Group a real headache.

In the worst case, Mu Group could even collapse because of it.

Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei are both management staff at Mu Group, so naturally, they didn’t need Mu Shanshan to explain too much to them.

“President Mu…”

Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Shen Peini became even more worried that Mu Shanshan would hand Lin Fei over to Han Zhenhai.

With this thought, Shen Peini couldn’t care less about propriety, just as she was preparing to earnestly persuade Mu Shanshan.

Suddenly, the door to Mu Shanshan’s office was kicked open.

Yes, kicked open.

In the entire Mu Group, the only person who dared to kick open the door to President Mu Shanshan’s office, other than Lin Fei, there would be no second.

“Boss, you must stand up for me.” Lin Fei strode into Mu Shanshan’s office, complaining with a deadpan expression as he walked, “The women in the General Affairs Department, they, they collectively harassed me.”

Lin Fei’s words made the three women in the office feel like black lines were dropping down their foreheads.

Because of Lin Fei’s complaint, the three women even forgot about Lin Fei’s rude action of kicking the door.

Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei were truly stunned by Lin Fei’s shamelessness, their minds full of thoughts on how Lin Fei could be so shameless, not even caring how he got in.

And Mu Shanshan already had quite a high immunity to Lin Fei’s shamelessness.

Although she hadn’t forgotten the scene of Lin Fei kicking her office door, at the moment, Mu Shanshan clearly didn’t have the spare time to pursue the issue.

The earnest measures Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei took to protect him had already made Mu Shanshan realize that both women had varying degrees of fondness for Lin Fei.

Although the relationship between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei wasn’t that harmonious, it didn’t prevent Mu Shanshan from feeling a tinge of jealousy and wariness.

Although Mu Shanshan was an ice queen president, she was also a woman.

“Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

Assistant Lin, your timing is impeccable.”

It was as if there was a deep, cold pond in Mu Shanshan’s eyes, a chill incessantly emanating from her entire being, of course, this chill was specifically directed at Lin Fei.

And how could Lin Fei not feel the coldness targeted at him from Mu Shanshan’s beautiful eyes?

Each word of “Assistant Lin” was like biting into Lin Fei’s heart.

Lin Fei didn’t need to think to know that Mu Shanshan’s coldness surely had much to do with Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei.

However, things being what they were, Lin Fei could only steel himself and brave the coldness in Mu Shanshan’s gaze that seemed cold enough to freeze a person to death, and stay in the president’s office.

If Lin Fei chose to leave at this moment, he might temporarily extricate himself, but knowing Mu Shanshan’s character, the consequences would definitely be a hundred times worse than staying.

Hence, Lin Fei ignored the hopeful glances from Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, urging him to leave quickly, and stood firmly in Mu Shanshan’s office, his entire body as straight as a javelin.

“Boss, I don’t know what these two women have told you.

I must make a reasonable defense for myself.

I was treated extremely unfairly in the General Affairs Department.

Therefore, I request the boss to discern the truth, their words cannot represent my viewpoint.

Personally, I express my unwavering support for the boss’s decisions!”

Lin Fei’s speech was full of righteous fervor, and after finishing, he even gave Mu Shanshan a military salute, indicating a clear division from Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei.

Incidentally, this also demonstrated his loyalty to Mu Shanshan.
