Chapter 78 - 78 78 What is an Iceberg President

78: Chapter 78: What is an Iceberg President 78: Chapter 78: What is an Iceberg President In Shanshan’s office, three women, with six beautiful eyes, were all intently staring at Lin Fei as if they were looking at an alien.

However, today Shanshan’s gaze at Lin Fei didn’t contain as much disgust as usual.

Instead, it was his gaze that rested on Penny and Weiwei that she found particularly displeasing.

Seeing that Lin Fei was honestly keeping his eyes on her, the sour feeling in Shanshan’s heart lessened significantly.

She took a small sip of coffee from the table, her tone much soothed, “From what you’re saying, do you completely disagree with what Manager Shen and Minister Ling have said?”

Lin Fei efficiently took the coffee pot to pour Shanshan another cup, hastily nodding in agreement, “I must disagree, I definitely won’t give…”

Lin Fei had been thinking about the issue of Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei recruiting him as a secretary, and he was desperately trying to convey that he did not have that intention.

Unfortunately, Shanshan didn’t give him a chance to clarify his statement.

Shanshan caught Lin Fei’s forewords and immediately cut him off, her eyes shifting to Penny and Weiwei, “You heard him, it seems that Assistant Lin isn’t too keen on following your lead.”

Just having put down the coffee pot, Lin Fei looked up bewilderedly at Shanshan.

However, Shanshan’s delicate countenance revealed hardly any emotion.

Reading any of the inner emotional turmoil from Shanshan’s exquisite face would perhaps be something top psychologists could manage.

However, Lin Fei clearly lacked such skill.

Lin Fei, seeking help, looked towards Penny and Weiwei, hoping these two women could give him some useful hints, or better yet, take the initiative to explain what was really going on.

Unfortunately, being ‘wounded’ by Lin Fei’s harsh words, Penny and Weiwei were hardly in a mood to entertain him.

If it weren’t for Shanshan’s presence, these two women might have already taken off their high heels and thrown them at Lin Fei’s head.

Weiwei was slightly better; after glaring at Lin Fei a few times, she stopped paying him any more attention.

Naturally, she kept cursing Lin Fei as heartless in her heart.

On Penny’s end, there were less reservations; if looks could kill, Lin Fei would definitely be riddled with holes by now.

Sensing the abnormality of the situation, Lin Fei coughed pretentiously a few times, “President, I think you’ve misunderstood my intentions.”

“Oh, does Assistant Lin really plan to be a secretary for Manager Shen or Minister Ling?”

Shanshan glanced leisurely at Lin Fei, her tone gentler but the chill in her eyes unmistakable.

Lin Fei had no doubt—if he dared nod his head or say ‘yes’ at that moment, Shanshan would unmercifully fire him on the spot.

President Shanshan clearly wasn’t the type to tolerate her husband serving as a secretary to other women.

“Of course not, I’m deeply committed to my job as a General Affairs Assistant, just like I’m deeply committed to the old…”

“Alright, this doesn’t concern you anymore, you can leave now.”

Seeing Lin Fei beginning an impassioned speech, Shanshan, fearing he might drag her into it, swiftly cut him off and issued an order for him to leave.

“I dare not go back to the General Affairs Department for now.

You can discuss matters without me, just treat me as if I am invisible.”

Lin Fei couldn’t miss the trap Shanshan had set for him.

Without understanding the situation, how could he willingly leave?

Plus, going back to the General Affairs Department at this moment would be tantamount to seeking abuse, with a whole group of women waiting to gang up on him.

Seeing Lin Fei casually sitting on the sofa in the reception area with the coffee pot, Shanshan could probably guess what he was thinking.

Thereupon, she opted not to bother sending him away again and simply ignored him.

At this time, Penny and Weiwei were also beginning to see some clues.

Shanshan was famously cold-hearted in the business world of Zhonghai, especially towards men.

Having worked at Mu Group for a considerable amount of time, except for Shanshan’s direct secretary, it was probably just the two of them, Penny and Weiwei, who dealt with Shanshan the most.

Mainly because the General Affairs Department was directly under Shanshan.

Previously, both women were solely focused on Han Zhenhai’s retaliation against Lin Fei and didn’t pay much attention to how Mu Shanshan treated Lin Fei.

Now, after Mu Shanshan had issued an eviction order, Lin Fei still dared to brazenly linger in Mu Shanshan’s office.

And Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, showed no sign of anger.

Witnessing this scene, Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, with their cleverness, couldn’t help but notice that the relationship between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan was not simple.

Position-wise, Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei were both Lin Fei’s superiors, but they admitted that they absolutely couldn’t maintain their composure in front of Mu Shanshan like Lin Fei did, especially considering Lin Fei was a man.

After some thought, Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei realized that it was unlikely that Mu Shanshan would hand Lin Fei over to Han Zhenhai.

In short, the two women realized they had worried about Lin Fei for nothing.

Immediately, Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei gave Lin Fei a resentful glare, then ignored him.

However, their curiosity about the relationship between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei had grown even stronger.

…

“Ms.

Mu, forgive my bluntness, but Han Zhenhai’s deployment of confidants to take mass sick leave has indeed caused irrevocable damage to the company.

However, this also presents an excellent opportunity to eliminate Han Zhenhai’s influence.”

Having decided to stand with Mu Shanshan, regardless of the reason, Shen Peini needed to show her sincerity to Mu Shanshan.

The mass employee sick leave incident was undoubtedly an excellent opportunity to enhance mutual trust and friendship.

“Risk and opportunity coexist.

The company has encountered this issue, and I cannot shirk my responsibility.

I plan to call an early board meeting next Monday to address my negligence.”

Mu Shanshan sat on a genuine leather swivel chair, her expression cold and her features delicate, showing no sign of someone ready to admit a mistake.

Ling Weiwei looked mildly angry and glanced subtly at Shen Peini, then continuing on Mu Shanshan’s topic, said, “Regarding this issue, I think it’s clear who is at fault.

The person needing to reflect and take responsibility definitely shouldn’t be Ms.

Mu.”

“Minister Ling is correct.

The fault for the mass employee absences lies with Director Han Zhenhai.

I believe the other directors of the board will not accuse Ms.

Mu without cause.

Given Director Han Zhenhai’s actions, I personally think he is no longer suitable to continue as an executive director.”

Although these words came from Shen Peini personally, they could certainly represent her aunt’s attitude to some extent.

With her aunt’s support, Mu Shanshan only needed to privately rally one or two directors.

Han Zhenhai’s removal from the board of the Mu Group was practically a foregone conclusion.

Three stunningly beautiful women decided the fate of an executive director in just a few words, and Lin Fei personally witnessed the ruthlessness of the workplace.

However, Lin Fei harbored no repulsion towards the three women, nor any pity for Han Zhenhai.

The business world is like a battlefield; Han Zhenhai had bullied his way to their doorstep.

If Mu Shanshan did not know how to fight back, then the Mu Group’s days of downfall were not far off.

At the same time, through the conversation among the three women, Lin Fei also understood that Han Zhenhai was plotting to use his shares to coerce Mu Shanshan, and he was the target.

The three women were engrossed in discussing how to resolve the crisis, so they did not notice the fleeting intense murderous intent in Lin Fei’s eyes.

If Han Zhenhai was merely seeking revenge on Lin Fei, Lin Fei wouldn’t mind too much.

However, since Han Zhenhai had involved Mu Shanshan, that completely triggered Lin Fei’s murderous intent.

As for Han Qiming, Mu Shanshan wasn’t too involved, but Han Zhenhai used his influence to pressure Mu Shanshan.

Just on this alone, Lin Fei was motivated to judge him deserving of death.

“These people who are taking sick leave are more or less connected to Han Zhenhai, some of them being his confidants.

I worry that even if urged by the board, some of them won’t come to work in the short term.”

Han Zhenhai must be kicked out of the board, a fact Shen Peini believed, regardless of her aunt’s opinion or that of other directors of the Mu Group.

However, those influenced by Han Zhenhai and not coming to work posed a challenging problem for Mu Shanshan.

Not just Shen Peini, even Ling Weiwei and Lin Fei wanted to know how Mu Shanshan would handle these people.

Mu Shanshan didn’t keep the three waiting long.

Under the watch of Lin Fei and the others, Mu Shanshan coldly stated, “Those who are on sick leave, fire them all!”
