Chapter 157 - 157 157 Helping the Wife with Business Earning a Beautiful Minister

157: Chapter 157: Helping the Wife with Business, Earning a Beautiful Minister 157: Chapter 157: Helping the Wife with Business, Earning a Beautiful Minister “Since you don’t agree, let’s forget the whole bet,” Lin Fei spread his shoulders, turning to leave.

“Wait a minute.” Seeing Lin Fei apparently giving up on the bet, Ling Weiwei couldn’t bear to miss a chance to strike at Shen Peini and quickly called out to him.

Lin Fei stopped, asking nonchalantly, “What, has Minister Ling changed her mind?”

“You wish!” Ling Weiwei coldly rejected Lin Fei’s assumption.

It was clearly impossible for her, Minister Ling, to stake herself as the wager.

“Change the condition.

As long as it doesn’t involve that kind of thing, I can agree to anything.” Seeing Lin Fei about to leave, Ling Weiwei urgently spoke.

“Changing the condition is not impossible.” Lin Fei stood still, bowed his head in thought for a few seconds, then looked up at Ling Weiwei, “How about this, if you lose, find a time to cook a meal for me, how does that sound?”

“Ah?” Ling Weiwei’s pretty mouth fell slightly agape, her lovely eyes filled with astonishment.

“What?

You’re not willing?

Or are you saying that Minister Ling doesn’t know how to cook at all?”

“No, it’s not that.

I, I just—” Ling Weiwei waved her hands frantically, stealing glances at Lin Fei.

Seeing that he wasn’t joking, Ling Weiwei put aside further thought and agreed at once, “Fine, I agree!”

Ling Weiwei wasn’t like Mu Shanshan, who, being from a wealthy family, never had to learn to cook with Aunt Lan taking care of her since childhood.

Ling Weiwei grew up in an orphanage after her father passed away early and her mother remarried.

She learned how to cook while still very young, under the tutelage of the kindergarten head.

Although she didn’t know why Lin Fei would propose a bet that seemed to be all gain and no loss for her, at least from the current perspective of Ling Weiwei, it was all gain and no loss.

If she won, she could strike at her rival in love, Shen Peini.

If she lost—honestly, after Lin Fei changed the bet, Ling Weiwei was somewhat hoping that she would lose this wager.

Ling Weiwei was no longer a naive little girl.

To catch a man’s heart, one must capture his stomach, a principle she clearly understood.

“I hope you’ll do as you say and not go back on your word; otherwise, I’ll think less of you.” With her mind now set on capturing Lin Fei’s stomach through this wager, and cutting off his thoughts for Shen Peini, Ling Weiwei stared firmly at Lin Fei, not forgetting to first lock him into a promise of integrity.

“I can guarantee with my handsome, compelling face, if I lose, I will definitely abide by the agreement,” Lin Fei said with a smile, pulling Ling Weiwei’s tender white hand and going thumb to thumb with her, his heart blooming with joy.

If there were any members of the Hell’s Judgement Organization who knew Lin Fei’s nature, or those foreign adversaries present here, they would inevitably feel sorry for Ling Weiwei.

Lin Fei, having founded the Hell’s Judgement Organization and earned a resounding reputation in the international mercenary world, was obviously not someone who would suffer losses.

Otherwise, he would have been devoured by those fiercely ruthless mercenaries or terrorist organizations abroad without a trace left behind.

As someone who can only take advantage and never suffer losses, Lin Fei obviously would not establish a bet that is all gain and no loss for Ling Weiwei, as she thought.

Avoiding any interaction with Shen Peini, a woman of peerless beauty, for a month is something Lin Fei merely said in passing—actually doing it is definitely impossible.

However, Lin Fei did not plan to break the bet.

Because he was certain he wouldn’t lose!

Even if it was to taste the culinary skills of Ling Weiwei at her home, Lin Fei could not allow himself to lose.

Because once he was at Ling Weiwei’s place, it was clear that Lin Fei was planning on doing more than just eating.

Officially, he was going to have a meal, but as for whether he would devour Ling Weiwei, the beautiful Minister, afterwards, that was entirely up to Lin Fei’s own desires.

“I think I need to remind you,” he said, “among those directors and shareholders you’ve intimidated, there aren’t many who are broad-minded.

They’re holding back here because you’ve got the crowd on your side, and they’re afraid to speak up.

But once the meeting starts, in front of President Mu, I believe they won’t hesitate to speak their minds.

If you’re having second thoughts, it’s not too late.”

Ling Weiwei was confident she held the upper hand in their bet.

Although she enjoyed taking Shen Peini down a notch, Ling Weiwei was clearly more interested in showing off her cooking skills to captivate Lin Fei’s appetite.

By having Lin Fei voluntarily forfeit the bet and subsequently inviting him over to try her cooking, Ling Weiwei was harboring exactly this idea.

Whatever Ling Weiwei said went in one ear and out the other, as Lin Fei continued, “Weiwei, I’m not picky about food—I eat both meat and vegetables.

However, I tend to eat a lot, so make sure you prepare extra.

Also, I like to have a couple of drinks during meals, white or red are both fine.

And one more thing—”

“Lin Fei!” Ling Weiwei interrupted him with a rebuke, cutting off his ramble.

Lin Fei’s certainty of victory was extremely displeasing to Minister Ling.

Had it not been for the many people around them, Ling Weiwei would have truly liked to tug on Lin Fei’s ear and ask him if he had any clue about their situation.

Right now, the odds were clearly in her favor, Ling Weiwei.

“You can’t win,” she stressed.

“Right now, I want to remind you that you may not care about the accusations from those directors and shareholders, but I hope you would consider the security staff who have just regained their jobs at the company.

I don’t want our bet to affect their work.” Seeing that Lin Fei showed no signs of repentance, Ling Weiwei finally laid it out openly.

Although Lin Fei was the mastermind behind the prank on the directors and shareholders, Liu Hui and the other security staff played their part in it, albeit to a lesser degree.

Even though Ling Weiwei didn’t know exactly how Lin Fei had convinced Mu Shanshan to let Liu Hui and the guards return to the company,

Ling Weiwei certainly didn’t want the people Lin Fei had gone through trouble to bring back to be fired again for intimidating the directors and shareholders.

If those directors and shareholders really filed a joint complaint to Mu Shanshan, there was a chance that Liu Hui and the other guards might be dismissed once more.

Lin Fei’s eyes locked onto Ling Weiwei’s as he declared, word for word, “My biggest flaw is being overprotective!”

After finishing his statement, Lin Fei didn’t give Ling Weiwei a chance to respond.

He turned to Liu Hui and the other security staff, calling out, “Old Liu, gather your men and follow me upstairs.

Let’s bolster President Mu’s presence!

Show those directors who only wait for dividends and easy money to understand who really calls the shots at Mu Group!”

This was the confidence behind Lin Fei’s bet with Ling Weiwei and the key to why he could intimidate those directors and shareholders.

Though Lin Fei didn’t know the original intention behind Mu Shanshan’s call for the high-level meeting, this didn’t prevent him from paving the way for her, clearing any potential obstacles they might encounter during the meeting!

Intending to help Mu Shanshan overcome the hurdles, he inadvertently involved Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister.

No matter how Lin Fei looked at it, he saw it as a win-win situation.
