112: Chapter 112: 10 Secretaries, 8 Women 112: Chapter 112: 10 Secretaries, 8 Women “Change jobs?” Lin Fei stammered out a response, making sure that Mu Shanshan wasn’t trying to kick him out of the company.

Once Lin Fei was certain of this, he relaxed completely.

Although in the beginning, Lin Fei was quite resistant to working at the company, the nine-to-five schedule really didn’t suit him.

However, during his time at the General Affairs Department, Lin Fei had been quite happy.

Teasing female colleagues, playing pranks on the beautiful department head, he even had seductive and charming female supervisors throwing themselves at him.

If he felt like working, he would; if he didn’t, he simply wouldn’t go in.

Lin Fei was starting to enjoy the feeling of working at the General Affairs Department.

If, at this moment, Mu Shanshan really wanted to kick him out of the company, Lin Fei absolutely wouldn’t agree.

“My dear, I think it’s not the right time yet.

After all, I’ve only been at the company for a short while; if you promoted me to vice president too soon, I’m afraid there would be objections from within the company.

For the company’s long-term development, I think it’s better for me to stay in the General Affairs Department.

If you feel you’ve wronged me, it just so happens that there isn’t a Deputy Head at the General Affairs Department, why not let me take on that role?”

After Lin Fei finished his long speech, he completely stunned Mu Shanshan, um, more precisely, made her lose her train of thought.

Mu Shanshan did want to give Lin Fei a change of job, and it wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment idea.

Initially, when Mu Hong insisted on pushing Lin Fei into the company, Mu Shanshan couldn’t go against her father, so she reluctantly arranged a nominal position for Lin Fei as the General Affairs Assistant.

Now, as Lin Fei moved into the Purple Garden Pavilion and their interactions deepened, Mu Shanshan’s attitude towards him had somewhat changed.

A prime example was the “Transform Lin Fei Plan.” Based on this plan, Mu Shanshan wanted to mold Lin Fei into a qualified husband, which naturally meant that he could no longer stay in the General Affairs Department.

Of course, what prompted Mu Shanshan to make this decision, or rather, the catalyst, was Lin Fei making Li Anqing cry previously.

Unaware of the true circumstances, President Mu thought of how Lin Fei dared to flirt with her assistant right in front of her, in her office.

In the “Women Country” known as the General Affairs Department, who knows how Lin Fei could be wreaking havoc among the female employees.

It was with this consideration that, seizing the opportunity when Lin Fei asked her for a favor, Mu Shanshan thought of changing his job.

Mu Shanshan truly wanted to change Lin Fei’s job, but definitely not in the way Lin Fei was imagining, by promoting him to vice president of the company.

The thought had never crossed Mu Shanshan’s mind.

She never even considered creating a vice president position inside Mu Group.

As of now, Mu Group had one president, and that was enough; she didn’t need a deputy.

Even if in the future, due to the need for business development, she was too busy to handle everything alone, and Mu Group truly needed a vice president, Lin Fei was absolutely not within Mu Shanshan’s considerations!

What kind of person Lin Fei was, Mu Shanshan believed she understood very well.

Now he was just a General Affairs Assistant, so he even dared to assault her assistant in her office.

If Lin Fei was promoted to vice president, Mu Shanshan didn’t even want to imagine how he might ruin the company.

“You know full well what kind of person you are.

Until I see that you possess the necessary work capabilities, don’t even think about being vice president.

Weiwei is more than enough for the General Affairs Department; your staying there would only bring chaos.

I’ve thought it over, and there’s only one department that’s most suitable for you.”

Mu Shanshan was somewhat powerless to ridicule Lin Fei’s rich imagination anymore, her pretty eyes filled with resentment as she glared fiercely at Lin Fei, speaking coldly.

Lin Fei also realized that Mu Shanshan had probably planned this all along.

Using Meng Xue’er’s situation as a bargaining chip was just a trigger.

Even without the incident involving Meng Xue’er, Mu Shanshan would most likely have found another excuse to transfer him out of the General Affairs Department.

Immediately, Lin Fei carefully thought about what other part of Mu Group could compare to the “Women Country” that was the General Affairs Department.

And indeed, Lin Fei came up with an answer, “I know, the President’s Secretariat, right?”

In Mu Shanshan’s President’s Secretariat, the young and beautiful female secretaries and assistants were fewer in number compared to the female employees of the General Affairs Department.

But in terms of quality, they were slightly superior.

After all, serving as Mu Shanshan’s secretary or assistant would mean a salary and benefits far exceeding those of ordinary female employees.

Having money meant having more beautiful clothes and name-brand cosmetics to adorn oneself.

In comparison, the female employees of the General Affairs Department were somewhat inferior in terms of their attire.

Of course, this did not include the beautiful department head Ling Weiwei and the former beauty supervisor of the General Affairs Department, Shen Peini.

With Ling Weiwei and Shen Peini’s looks and poise, they were easily among the top three in the entire Mu Group.

In all of Mu Group, perhaps only Mu Shanshan herself could slightly surpass these two women.

Mu Shanshan’s beautiful eyes met Lin Fei’s, and with her lustrous red lips slightly parting, she coldly uttered three words, “Security Department!”

With these three words, all of Lin Fei’s fantasies were completely shattered.

Lin Fei was thinking entirely from a man’s perspective.

In other words, he was pondering which department had the most beautiful women.

In the entire Mu Group, the two departments known to have the most beautiful women were well known to any employee.

Those were the CEO’s Secretariat and the General Affairs Department!

Mu Shanshan, on the other hand, approached the problem from the opposite angle of Lin Fei.

The reasons were simple—first, Mu Shanshan was a woman, and second, she was Lin Fei’s wife.

Although their marital status hadn’t been formalized yet, this didn’t change the fact that Mu Shanshan was Lin Fei’s wife.

Given this relationship, Mu Shanshan inevitably considered herself somewhat in the role of Lin Fei’s wife when thinking about his issues.

Mu Shanshan’s thought process was straightforward: Lin Fei, you don’t like to work and enjoy flirting when you’re free, so I’ll send you to a department with no female staff.

In the whole Mu Group, there was only one department that fit this criterion: the Security Department!

There are very few female security guards, at least in the Security Department of the Mu Group, which was entirely male.

“Wife, you’re not seriously planning to banish me to become a security guard, are you?”

Lin Fei, coming to his senses, looked as unpleasant as one could imagine.

Although Lin Fei, now bearing the title of General Affairs Assistant, was doing work similar to that of a security guard.

Even the female employees of the General Affairs Department would teasingly call him the dedicated security guard of that department, which Lin Fei had readily accepted.

From this, it is clear that Lin Fei was not a person who cared about empty titles or positions.

To him, a role like the vice president was merely a topic of banter with Mu Shanshan.

In Lin Fei’s eyes, vice president was far less comforting and free than being a dedicated security guard.

Surrounded by a bunch of young, beautiful colleagues at work every day, waiting for him to flirt, Lin Fei truly couldn’t think of any job that would suit his taste better than General Affairs Assistant.

However, looking at Mu Shanshan, it was clear she wasn’t joking.

She plainly didn’t want Lin Fei to continue in the General Affairs Department and had even thought out where to send him next.

“You’re currently a General Affairs Assistant, but the actual work is not much different from that of a security guard.

I’m planning to reorganize the departments in the company and eliminate some idle positions.

The Security Department is where security guards should be.”

No matter what Lin Fei thought, Mu Shanshan had clearly made up her mind.

With a faintly cold expression, she gave Lin Fei an ultimatum.

Mu Shanshan’s intentions were clear: she wanted to reorganize idle positions in the company, which effectively meant dismissals.

Lin Fei’s current role as General Affairs Assistant was one such idle position.

If Lin Fei wanted to stay at the company, his only option would be to go to the Security Department and become a bona fide security guard.

If Lin Fei insisted on staying, Mu Shanshan was seemingly ready to reorganize him out of his position as well.

Being fired by one’s own wife is far from a badge of honor.

Especially since Lin Fei had somewhat gotten used to working at Mu Group.

If he were really fired, he would find it somewhat uncomfortable.

Used to entering and exiting the Moongaze Building, Lin Fei wasn’t even sure if he had the courage to go back to peddling goods on the pedestrian overpass.

Of course, the most important point was that leaving the company would mean he could no longer freely admire the young and pretty female employees belonging to Mu Group.

Compared to that, becoming a bona fide security guard in the Security Department, while not as comfortable as being a General Affairs Assistant, would at least allow him to continue working at the company without returning to his old ways on the pedestrian overpass.

“I’m not asking you to go to the Security Department to be an ordinary guard.

You should remember that last time Ge Hui caused trouble at the company.

After he was fired, the position of the deputy head of the Security Department was left vacant.

For the moment, I haven’t found a suitable candidate, so I’m planning for you to take on this deputy head role.

If you don’t want me to keep looking down on you, then show some responsibility.”

Seeing Lin Fei deep in thought, Mu Shanshan dropped a bombshell and didn’t forget to provoke him.

“Deputy head of the Security Department, that’s considered a high-level position in the company, right?”

Lin Fei hadn’t expected his wife to have prepared such a position for him, and he felt somewhat touched.

However, this did not stop him from seeking greater benefits for himself.

“You can attend any company meeting, big or small, if you wish.”

Indeed, as the deputy head of the Security Department and additionally as the husband of the president and the son-in-law of the chairman, Lin Fei could participate in all of the Mu Group’s meetings.

“If it’s considered a high-level position, then you should at least assign me ten or eight female secretaries, right?”

This was what Lin Fei was truly concerned about.

As for Mu Shanshan’s veiled provocations, Lin Fei couldn’t care less.

Having been abroad for so many years and accustomed to all sorts of situations, his sense of responsibility was deeply ingrained.

It might not have shown at all times, but when needed, it would surely shine with the brightest sparks.

Since he could no longer remain in the General Affairs Department and couldn’t go to Mu Shanshan’s secretariat, Lin Fei was ready to do the opposite—recruit ten or eight female secretaries to keep in the office.

Regardless of anything else, it would certainly be a feast for the eyes.
