Chapter 174 - 174 174 Accepting Widowhood But Not Infidelity

174: Chapter 174: Accepting Widowhood, But Not Infidelity 174: Chapter 174: Accepting Widowhood, But Not Infidelity “My opinion is that I fully agree with yours, wife.”

Lin Fei gave it some thought about Mu Shanshan’s decision to assign Meng Xue’er as the company’s receptionist, then nodded in agreement.

Originally, Lin Fei intended to have Meng Xue’er work as his secretary.

This had nothing to do with Lin Fei’s grandiose idea of expanding the secretarial department; he mainly wanted to place Meng Xue’er under his protection.

Working in Lin Fei’s office would ensure that Meng Xue’er was least affected by external factors.

However, Lin Fei clearly couldn’t keep Meng Xue’er under his protection forever.

Flowers in a greenhouse would never truly bloom.

And Mu Shanshan, from the perspective of honing Meng Xue’er and facilitating the girl’s personal growth, had arranged for her this position as a receptionist.

While their starting points differed, both Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei had Meng Xue’er’s best interests at heart.

It wasn’t about right or wrong, but rather suitability.

And, in the long run, it was obviously Mu Shanshan’s arrangement that was more suitable for Meng Xue’er.

“No objections?” Mu Shanshan’s cold, meaningful gaze swept over Lin Fei, “Weren’t you always saying that you wanted me to allocate another secretary to you?

I think Meng Xue’er is quite good.

How about I transfer her to you as a secretary?”

Damn, she’s been waiting to trap me.

“Wife, I don’t need a secretary for the time being!”

Lin Fei immediately took a stance, firmly and decisively rejecting Mu Shanshan’s suggestion.

He had no choice but to refuse!

Mu Shanshan was clearly setting a trap for Lin Fei.

If Lin Fei dared to agree to have Meng Xue’er work as his secretary, it wouldn’t just be Meng Xue’er who wouldn’t be able to join Mu Group, Lin Fei himself would definitely not have an easy time either.

“Really don’t need one?”

“I don’t!”

“Since you don’t need one, then shouldn’t you explain to me what this list for muster is all about?!” As Mu Shanshan spoke, her tone completely cooled.

Along with it, she picked up a document from the desk and hurled it at Lin Fei.

“What list?” Mu Shanshan suddenly turned hostile, leaving Lin Fei somewhat at a loss.

Taking the list, Lin Fei looked it over carefully, and indeed felt black lines forming all over his forehead.

He didn’t recognize any of the names listed, but that didn’t prevent him from guessing the origin of this list.

Not long ago, Lin Fei had extended an invitation to many young women coming to Mu Group for an interview in front of the Moongaze Building.

After the speech, Lin Fei had his first and currently only secretary, Xiao Yina, take down the details of those young women interested in becoming his secretaries.

And now, the list Mu Shanshan had thrown at Lin Fei was obviously the one he had instructed Xiao Yina to compile.

If that was all there was to it, Lin Fei’s expression wouldn’t be so ugly.

The list Xiao Yina submitted to Mu Shanshan not only included those young women who intended to become Lin Fei’s secretaries, but Secretary Xiao also took the opportunity to thoroughly smear Lin Fei.

On the list, Xiao Yina noted each young woman’s special skills, measurements, and whether they were single, and behind this information, Secretary Xiao would add a comment: meets President Lin’s requirements for massage, meets President Lin’s requirements for companionship, an ideal target for President Lin’s unwritten rules…

Clearly, he, Vice Minister Lin, had been betrayed by his own secretary.

It’s not just any trap, it’s the kind that pushes you to death, where killing you won’t cost a thing!

Mu Shanshan’s peerless beauty seemed to be coated with a layer of frost, and those beautiful cold eyes stared unblinking at Lin Fei as she enunciated each word, “Twenty-seven applicants!

Vice Minister Lin, you have quite the appetite, don’t you?”

After Mu Shanshan’s remarks, the temperature in the CEO’s office seemed to drop several degrees.

“Wife, I think, in our future work life, I will only need Xiao Yina as my secretary,” Lin Fei, under the gaze of Mu Shanshan’s cold and murderous eyes, decisively gave up the idea of defending himself and wisely expressed his willingness to have only one secretary.

God knows how much Lin Fei regretted saying those words.

Twenty-seven applicants, and Lin Fei could easily pull some strings behind the scenes to hire ten or eight of them; it shouldn’t be too big of a deal.

However, with Xiao Yina’s betrayal and Mu Goddess’s strong intervention, Lin Fei’s cherished dream of establishing a secretarial office was destined not to come true.

Mu Shanshan’s eyes tensed slightly, and the coldness in her stunningly beautiful face softened a bit, clearly somewhat comforted by Lin Fei’s attitude in giving up the argument and admitting his error decisively.

“Not long ago, I appointed Secretary Xiao as my special consultant in the Security Department.

I don’t want to hear any news of her being wronged in the Security Department in the future, understand?”

“President Mu is wise!” With Mu Shanshan’s cold glare upon him and the situation favoring her, Lin Fei could only nod in agreement.

In truth, a million grass mud horses were already galloping through his heart.

With this move, Mu Shanshan made it clear to Lin Fei that Xiao Yina was now her person, someone who would monitor his every move on her behalf, and that he’d better watch his behavior in the future.

This was an overt scheme!

President Mu’s maneuver was undeniably shrewd!

Even if Lin Fei refused to admit it, he had truly fallen this time.

“Now that the official business is over, should we start talking about family matters?”

Just as Lin Fei was thinking about how to deal with Xiao Yina, the “traitor,” when he returned, Mu Shanshan stood up and walked gracefully toward him, stopping right in front of Lin Fei!

Mu Shanshan’s exquisite and delicate body was only an arm’s length from Lin Fei, who could simply extend his hand to hold her in his embrace.

Under normal circumstances, Lin Fei would undoubtedly have done so already.

However, the Lin Fei of right now wanted nothing more than to stay away from Mu Shanshan as quickly as possible.

Had it been right after they got married, even if Lin Fei were caught red-handed fooling around, he would never have backed down in front of Mu Shanshan.

Now, with significant improvements in their marital relationship, Lin Fei clearly couldn’t completely ignore Mu Shanshan’s feelings.

“Wife, I just remembered, I still have some unfinished work to do, let’s meet again later.”

“What, you dare to do it but not face it?”

“Mu Shanshan, you need to be clear, you haven’t actually fulfilled your duties as a wife.

The person who really dares to marry but not face it, is you!”

It has to be said, not fulfilling her duties as a wife was an unavoidable sore spot for Mu Shanshan when faced with Lin Fei.

However, this time, Mu Shanshan had clearly anticipated Lin Fei’s rebuttal, and his bringing up the past did not make Mu Shanshan falter or retreat.

“The premise of fulfilling duties is the exercise of rights.

Since you acknowledge me as your wife, from a wife’s perspective, I need to warn you.

I, Mu Shanshan, can accept being widowed, but I will not accept infidelity!”
