Chapter 195 - 195 195 Stand Until the Scent of Perfume Disappears

195: Chapter 195: Stand Until the Scent of Perfume Disappears 195: Chapter 195: Stand Until the Scent of Perfume Disappears On the southern outskirts of Zhonghai, in the Fang Family’s garden, a dozen or so Mercedes-Benz sedans slowly drove in.

The new Jaguar that Fang Wenxi was riding in was not among them.

Having experienced an unprecedented feeling of defeat, Fang Wenxi had accumulated too much negative emotion inside, and he needed to vent it out.

And the Fang Family’s garden, inhabited by many of the Fang Family elders and peers, was obviously not a good place to vent.

The Fang Family was not short of money, for not only was there the massive Fangxing Group under its flag.

The Fang Family had its own foundation.

As the president of Fangxing Group, Fang Wenxi was also not short of money.

Even if he had been taken for fifty million by the security team of Mu Group, Fang Wenxi would not be short of money.

Under Fang Wenxi’s name, there were several villas.

In each of these villas, there was a woman kept by Fang Wenxi.

Among these women kept by Fang Wenxi, there were well-known female hosts, second-tier actresses, brand-name university students, and even the female CEO of a model trade company.

These several villas were obviously good places for Fang Wenxi to vent his negative emotions.

Although Fang Wenxi had not returned to the Fang Family’s garden, the series of events he experienced at Mu Group had been reported to the real master of the Fang Family garden, his biological father—Fang Zhentao.

“Master, do you think we should send someone to bring the young master back?” In the central villa of the Fang Family garden, in the elegantly decorated but not garish living room, the butler of the Fang Family garden, Fubai, dressed in a tailcoat, leaned forward and spoke to the middle-aged man sitting on the sofa, who was in his fifties.

“No need, he’s not young anymore; he should develop his own way of handling things when he encounters them.

These years, with the family’s influence behind him, he’s had an easy time, and it’s inevitable that he’s developed an air of arrogance.

A little suffering might not be a bad thing for him.”

The middle-aged man in his fifties speaking had meticulously groomed hair, and some similarities to Fang Wenxi could be vaguely seen in his facial features.

However, he had several more pronounced traits of composure and gravity than Fang Wenxi.

In contrast to Fang Wenxi’s somewhat affected warmth in front of others, Fang Zhentao emanated an absolute, lofty authority.

His deep eyes were like a pair of cold pools, their expressions inscrutable.

Different from the authority of common superiors, Fang Zhentao, who had built the Fang Family into the leading wealthy family in Zhonghai and even the entire Azure Dragon Region, derived his authority not only from the wealth and power he held but more so from his own spirit and vigor.

When Fangxing Group was mentioned, what first came to people’s minds was not the recently prominent Fang Wenxi, but Fang Zhentao, who had already retreated behind the scenes.

From this, the gap between Fang Wenxi and Mu Shanshan could be seen.

Both were successors who took over the family business from the previous generation, both had parents who retreated behind the scenes, but when Mu Group was mentioned, what people first thought of was no longer Mu Hong, the group’s founder, but Mu Shanshan, the iceberg president.

“What about Mu Group?” Seeing that Fang Zhentao had no intention of standing up for Fang Wenxi, Fubai tactfully changed the subject.

“Mu Hong is not easy to provoke.

If it weren’t for him spending most of his time abroad these years, Mu Group’s influence would certainly be much greater than it is now.

And it’s not just Mu Hong, that girl from the Mu Family is not simple either.

She has managed to multiply Mu Group’s performance several times over in just two years.

If we’re talking purely about business operations capability, Wenxi falls far short of that girl.”

After appraising the Mu Group, Fang Zhentao stood up, put his hands behind his back, and began pacing around the sofa, “Although Wenxi might be a bit spoiled by you all and carries a bit of arrogance, his judgment is indeed not bad.

If he really can gain Mu Hong’s approval and marry the girl from the Mu Family, with her backing, I would truly be able to rest assured in handing over the company to him.”

“Does the master mean that we should start showing goodwill towards the Mu Group?” Sensing Fang Zhentao’s appreciative tone for Mu Shanshan, the butler tentatively asked.

“Showing goodwill is necessary, but we must maintain a balance and not harm our own interests because of it.

The Mu Group has indeed developed very well over the past two years.

If Mu Hong has no intention to form a marriage alliance with us, wouldn’t we have worked in vain?” Fang Zhentao gave a clear stance on how to treat the Mu Group.

The butler nodded in agreement, then turned to leave, as he needed to subtly pass on Fang Zhentao’s intentions to Fang Wenxi.

Since Fang Wenxi took on the role of president at Fangxing Group, it seemed that he was making all the major decisions himself.

Actually, it was Fang Zhentao making the decisions for him.

However, Fang Wenxi himself was unaware of this fact.

…

Moongaze Building, president’s office at the Mu Group.

Lin Fei, who had been ordered by his own bossy wife to stand as punishment outside the president’s office door, was unaware of the Fang Family’s next attitude towards the Mu Group, and the fact that the lone wolf had been scared by his kick and had fled Zhonghai.

Lin Fei only wanted to figure out why President Mu wouldn’t let him leave.

As noon approached, Lin Fei, who hadn’t eaten for several meals, was already starving.

But due to Shanshan’s occasional cold glances, Lin Fei didn’t dare to leave without a word.

However, the hunger was truly unbearable, so grinding his teeth, Lin Fei took advantage of the moment Shanshan lowered her head to work and, with the speed of lightning, dashed to Shanshan’s desk, grabbed the phone, and barked, “Hey, is this the secretary’s office?

What time is it already, and you haven’t gone to prepare lunch for President Mu yet?

Do you want to starve our President Mu to death?!

I’m giving you ten minutes, if the lunch isn’t ready for President Mu, forget about your year-end bonus.”

Slam!

Hanging up the phone and about to return to his punishment, Lin Fei hadn’t taken a step before he was stopped by Mu Shanshan.

“Did I give you permission to move?!” Her voice, cold and clear as if from a chilly pond, fixed her gaze straight on him, making it crystal clear to Lin Fei that President Mu was not pleased with his unauthorized departure from his post.

“My dear wife Shanshan, I admit I was wrong to damage your door.

But it’s been fixed, hasn’t it?

No matter what, you can’t keep me here as your door god forever.

After all, I am also a senior executive of our company.

Even if you disregard our marital relationship, you should at least—”

Bang!

Mu Shanshan’s delicate, fair hand slammed onto the large desk.

The thunderous sound stunned Lin Fei.

Lin Fei shouldn’t have brought up the marital relationship—that just triggered the long-suppressed negative emotions in President Mu to finally explode.

“Lin Fei!

I didn’t make you stand as punishment because you damaged my door.

It’s because I find the scent of your Estee Lauder perfume quite unpleasant!

Listen carefully, today you will stand there until the scent of the perfume on you is gone; otherwise, forget about having a meal!”
