117: Chapter 117: Moths to a Flame, How Do They Know It’s Not a Blessing?

Moongaze Building, fifth floor, Vice Director’s office of the Security Department.

Hmm, to be precise, Lin Fei’s office.

This office was originally Ge Hui’s, but now that Lin Fei had taken over as the Vice Director of the Security Department, it was only natural that he inherited it.

When Ge Hui was dismissed, he only took away some personal items, leaving the larger items behind.

So, the office was basically left as it was.

If, after realizing that being the Vice Director of the Security Department was essentially a figurehead position, one still had to find something to make Lin Fei feel the position was worth it, it would be this very office left behind by Ge Hui.

Each office’s decor style is closely correlated with its occupant’s personality and preferences.

Take Mu Shanshan’s office, for instance, its decor is minimalistic, subtly exuding a sort of understated luxury.

Of course, influenced by Mu Shanshan’s disposition, there’s also an almost imperceptible chill that pervades her office.

Then there’s Ling Weiwei’s office where, apart from the essential decorations, there is hardly any other adornment, and the same goes for the inner resting room.

This reflects her view of Mu Shanshan as a role model and her pursuit of high work efficiency.

In contrast, the office left behind by Ge Hui can only be described as sumptuously magnificent.

The office, now belonging to Lin Fei, is resplendent in gold tones, even the various oil painting frames hanging on the walls are gold-colored.

Chandeliers, spotlights, and all sorts of luxurious light fixtures abound, and even the wool carpet on the floor seems to have been dipped in a layer of gold.

Office desk, reception table, sofa, bookshelf, safe…

everything one could ask for was there, even including a medium-sized liquor cabinet.

Inside the cabinet, Lin Fei found several bottles of expensive red wine.

In the very back, Lin Fei discovered a bottle of top-quality, seventy-year-old dry red.

Just for this bed alone, Lin Fei felt there was no grievance in being the Vice Director of the Security Department.

Lin Fei even mused that if one day he could roll around in this bed with Mu Shanshan, he wouldn’t complain about the work—even if the security responsibilities for the entire one through fifteen floors, even if all of Mu Group’s work was dumped on him.

Of course, Mu Shanshan would certainly not agree.

“What a pity, what a pity, that such a large office is occupied only by myself.”

Sitting in the large office chair with his legs crossed, Lin Fei looked up at the ceiling and couldn’t help but sigh.

Lin Fei truly felt it was a shame.

If he had known earlier about Ge Hui leaving behind such a bed, capable of provoking boundless male fantasies, he would’ve snatched a few secretaries from the General Affairs Department, saving his face be damned.

If Ling Weiwei dared to interfere, he might have had to snatch her over too.

“Come in.”

Far from having the awareness of an office leader, Lin Fei casually responded, still staring at the ceiling and tapping his legs.

A slender silhouette clad in a black professional suit pushed the door open, her narrow and enchanting phoenix eyes briefly pausing on the overly luxurious office decor before settling steadily on Lin Fei.

In the moment she noticed Lin Fei, her slender and enchanting phoenix eyes sparkled, and an unmistakable joy surfaced.

Penny closed the office door behind her and walked straight toward Lin Fei.

Lin Fei’s words were actually sarcastic; it wasn’t that Penny had come at the wrong time, but rather that she had come at an extremely opportune moment.

It couldn’t be more fortuitous.

Penny’s lips slightly parted, forming a shallow smile, “Like a moth to a flame, who’s to say it’s not a blessing.”

She understood, but she didn’t back down.

Not only did she not back down, but she also gave Lin Fei an affirmative response.

I know what you want to do to me, I’m not afraid, because I feel that for me, it’s not suffering, but happiness.
