The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 130 - 130 130 Xu Yingying Invites to Dinner

130: Chapter 130 Xu Yingying Invites to Dinner 130: Chapter 130 Xu Yingying Invites to Dinner In the blink of an eye, a week hurried past, and it was Friday again.

The Moongaze Building, where Mu Group was located, buzzed with activity as employees in various departments rushed to finish their tasks before the upcoming weekend.

In the office of the Vice Minister of the Security Department, Lin Fei, however, things were rather leisurely.

“Yina, didn’t you see my tea cup is empty?

Hurry up and get me another one,” Lin Fei commanded without lifting his head from his online game, addressing his new secretary.

Across from Lin Fei’s desk stood Xiao Yina, resting her hands on her smooth, jade-like chin, visibly annoyed, “Go pour your own tea.

I’m not your servant.”

With that, Xiao Yina lowered her head and continued with her work, clearly not taking her boss, the vice minister, seriously.

To find another secretary in Mu Group who dared to speak to their boss like that would likely just be Xiao Yina alone.

Lin Fei was particularly indignant about his secretary defying his orders.

“Yina, that was out of line.

I went through tremendous effort to poach you from that girl, Ling Weiwei.

As my secretary, you can’t even pour me a cup of tea?

I think you don’t want your bonus this month.”

Using bonuses or salaries as a threat to subordinates was a common practice in modern companies and often effective.

However, this tactic clearly didn’t work on Lin Fei and Xiao Yina.

Thwack!

Xiao Yina, without minding the hardness of her desk, slammed her delicate, fair hand down and retorted sharply, “You’ve got a lot of nerve!

If you hadn’t insisted on dragging me here from the General Affairs Department to be your secretary, would I be sitting around idle all day?

At this rate, talking about the bonus is premature; I’m too embarrassed even to take my salary!”

Xiao Yina’s ample bosom heaved with her anger.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that she couldn’t beat Lin Fei physically, Xiao Yina would have likely resorted to violence to express her dissatisfaction.

Xiao Yina, the esteemed secretary, had been perfectly content at the General Affairs Department.

The work atmosphere, colleague relationships, and job responsibilities all met her satisfaction.

Until one week ago, when Lin Fei barged into the General Affairs Department and, in front of many female colleagues and without regard for her reaction, forcefully moved her to the Security Department.

And thus, Xiao Yina became Lin Fei’s personal secretary.

Despite this, Xiao Yina did have some liking for Lin Fei, and though the change in her job was sudden, she wasn’t too upset about it.

However, after a few days on the job, Xiao Yina completely regretted it.

More precisely, after several days of doing essentially nothing, Xiao Yina became dissatisfied.

Lin Fei, the Vice Minister of the Security Department, was a typical absentee boss, either gaming in his office or skipping work altogether.

As a result, Xiao Yina, his secretary, also found herself with nothing to do, idly passing the time with dramas.

If Xiao Yina were the type to enjoy a lazy, do-nothing job, it could have been bearable.

The problem was, she was not that kind of person; doing nothing all day didn’t suit her personality.

Xiao Yina wanted to return to the General Affairs Department, but Lin Fei wouldn’t let her go.

Over time, the secretary stopped showing any goodwill towards Lin Fei.

Seeing signs of Xiao Yina’s temper flaring, Lin Fei immediately took on an authoritative tone, “How can you say you’re doing nothing?

Isn’t bringing me tea and water part of your job duties?

If you really feel bored, you can always guard the lobby or the parking lot.

Yina, not to criticize you, but your work attitude really needs improvement.”

“I—”

Xiao Yina gasped for breath, almost passing out.

She, Xiao Yina, was an elite white-collar worker whose capabilities had often been highly praised by Ling Weiwei.

To demote her to Lin Fei’s secretary was already somewhat beneath her qualifications.

Having her stand guard at the lobby and work as a security guard was absolutely a waste of talent!

That someone like Lin Fei, who didn’t take his job seriously, could suggest Xiao the Secretary perform security duties was mind-boggling.

Xiao Yina took several deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down before striding towards Lin Fei.

She said coldly, “Vice Minister Lin, this is the last time I’m officially notifying you that I came to the company to work, not to idly stand by.

If next week you still can’t find a security guard and begin working properly, I, Xiao Yina, will definitely fire you!”

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

Smack!

Before Xiao Yina could even catch her breath after speaking, Lin Fei had pinned her down on the desk, and her plump, perky bottom received two slaps from him.

After he finished, Lin Fei nonchalantly crossed his legs and lit a cigarette from his pocket, saying, “You little vixen, getting quite the temper, huh?

Dare to fire me; maybe in a few days, I should become your secretary instead.”

Her bottom humiliated by Lin Fei, a recovered, flushed Xiao Yina, her cheeks crimson and eyes filled with shame and anger, pointed her trembling tender fingers at Lin Fei, “Lin Fei, you—you—”

“What ‘you you,’ try threatening to fire me again,” Lin Fei spat out smoke, “Don’t forget, I’m the superior, and you’re the subordinate.

How many subordinates do you see threatening their superiors?

If you’re unsatisfied with your job, you need to find a way to deal with it.

I didn’t poach you from Ling Weiwei for you to come here and lose your temper.”

“I, I—”

Chastised by Lin Fei, Xiao Yina was not only humiliated but also felt a twinge of guilt in her heart.

Lin Fei hitting her was obviously wrong, but clearly, she as a secretary had many incompetencies as well.

Seeing a glimmer of shame in Xiao Yina’s eyes, Lin Fei softened his tone, “Alright, as long as you know your mistake, that’s good.

From now on—”

Lin Fei originally wanted to take this opportunity to lecture Xiao Yina a bit more, to prevent her from disrespecting him as a superior in the future.

However, he had barely started speaking when his cellphone rang.

Lin Fei picked up the phone and saw it was Xu Yingying, the little witch, calling.

Without thinking, Lin Fei hung up.

“As my secretary, first you—”

After hanging up on Xu Yingying, Lin Fei looked up ready to continue his lecture to Xiao Yina, but had barely spoken a few words when the phone rang again.

Knowing Yingying’s personality, she would probably keep calling if he didn’t answer.

Lin Fei resignedly answered the call, “Hey, you brat, don’t you know it’s working hours now?

I’m busy, speak up or cut the crap.”

“Stinky uncle, bad uncle, how dare you hang up on me, I—”

“Are you going to talk or not?

If not, I’m hanging up.”

“I’ll talk, I’ll talk, Uncle, I want to invite you for a meal.

Where are you?

I’ll come pick you up.”

“Inviting me for a meal?

What for, don’t tell me you want me to help you with drinks again.”

From the previous bar incident, Lin Fei was obviously more wary of Xu Yingying, the little witch.

“Uncle, where are your thoughts drifting?

It’s just the two of us this time, I sincerely want to invite you for a meal.”

“Come to Moongaze Building at five, and I’ll wait for you at the entrance.

Don’t be late.” Lin Fei thought for a moment, and with nothing else scheduled after work, he agreed to meet with Xu Yingying.
