227: Chapter 227: Lin Fei, Under Strict Wife’s Control!

Monday, at Mu Group’s location, the Moongaze Building.

Due to waking up too late, Lin Fei, who was banned from hitching a ride in Mu Shanshan’s BMW to work, had the “honor” of being late to work again.

By the time Lin Fei arrived at the Moongaze Building, it was already past ten in the morning.

One couldn’t blame Lin Fei for not abiding by the company’s rules; the shocking statements from President Mu last night had given Lin Fei too much of a psychological jolt, preventing him from falling asleep.

The inevitable consequence of not sleeping early was that Lin Fei overslept and missed the morning run with Mu Shanshan, consequently not being allowed to carpool.

Lin Fei found it impossible not to be late.

Of course, Lin Fei now held the position of Vice Minister of the Security Department and was considered a high-ranking executive at Mu Group.

With the incident of tricking Fang Wenxi of the Fang Family out of fifty million, apart from Mu Shanshan, the icy president, there were really few who dared to fault Mister Lin for coming to work late.

“Boss, Brother Liu and the others are being discharged from the hospital today.

The guys want to get together for a drink tonight.

They asked me to see if you’re free tonight to hang out and have some fun,” Lin Fei was told by two Security Department second-team guards stationed at the entrance of the Moongaze Building lobby as he walked in.

Since Lin Fei had backed the second-team security and tricked Fang Wenxi out of fifty million, after a unanimous discussion, all the young guards except for the slightly older Liu Hui began calling Lin Fei “Boss.”

“Tonight?” Lin Fei was stopped by two second-team guards and then remembered that since the incident where Liu Hui and other guards were injured by a lone wolf in the underground parking lot, he had only visited them when they were taken to the hospital.

Without being stopped today by the two guards on duty in the lobby, he might have almost forgotten about it.

Of course, this did not mean Lin Fei was unconcerned about his subordinates’ injuries.

In fact, the same day Liu Hui and the others were hospitalized, Lin Fei had gone straight to his wife, the president, and flat out demanded that the company cover the hospital expenses for the guards injured by the lone wolf and also secure fifty thousand yuan in compensation for each injured guard.

Mu Shanshan, despite often imposing financial restrictions on Lin Fei, her economical husband, had generously met all of his demands.

This was also the reason why Lin Fei later forgot about the incident.

Of course, another significant reason why Lin Fei was hardly ever concerned about company matters was that his heart wasn’t really in it.

“Boss, the brothers were able to come back to work all thanks to you.

Being with you these past days, we’ve all felt much more confident.

If you don’t show up tonight, the gathering won’t be the same,” said the two duty guards, seeing Lin Fei frowning and seemingly pondering something, and they started to press him earnestly to join the drink and gathering.

“Yes, boss, you’ve been with us for so long and haven’t had a drink with us yet.

The brothers all know that you’re not the type to put on airs; you really can’t disappoint them this time.”

“Wait a sec, let me ask my wife for permission.”

Lin Fei naturally did not want to refuse, given the guards’ humble approach and the earnest manner in which they spoke.

However, he vividly remembered Mu Shanshan’s stern warnings from last night.

This was the first time she had made a request as his wife.

If he drank too much and couldn’t make it home tonight, who knew how she might torment Mister Lin?

Right then, Lin Fei took out his cell phone and called Mu Shanshan.

Lin Fei had no idea that this subconscious act had greatly shocked the two duty guards!

If there were an election for the executive who most inspired Mu Group employees recently, Lin Fei might even surpass Mu Shanshan, the icy president.

Eliminating Ge Hui, intimidating the directors during a senior meeting, tricking the president of Fangxing Group out of fifty million…

These actions all contributed to the rise in reputation of Lin Fei, the Vice Minister of the Security Department, within Mu Group.

In the internal ranking of those who are best left unprovoked at Mu Group, Lin Fei had even surpassed Mu Shanshan as the icy president on occasions, claiming the top spot as voted by Mu Group’s gossip-lovers.

Tough, arrogant, commanding!

These were the common descriptions given to Lin Fei by many of the Mu Group’s internal staff, especially in the hearts of the second-team security guards, where Lin Fei was undoubtedly the spiritual leader.

And yet, this spiritual leader, seeking permission from his wife just to join a drink at a gathering, was a revelation for the two duty guards who grabbed Lin Fei, as they exchanged looks and saw sheer astonishment in each other’s eyes.

It appeared that their boss was under strict marital supervision!

This was the shared thought of the two duty guards at that moment.

“So, where are we gathering tonight now that my wife has agreed?” Lin Fei, completely unaware that his image had plummeted due to a phone call seeking permission, pocketed his cell phone and turned to ask the two guards who had stopped him after securing his own president wife’s approval.

Still trying to recover from their surprise, the two guards promptly replied, “Um, boss, we’ve discussed it.

Going somewhere else would be too expensive, so we’ll just go to Brother Liu’s barbecue restaurant.

After drinking, we can go sing some songs.

We’ll split the costs evenly, so you just—”

“Split the costs?

How much would each person need to pay?” Lin Fei, who had never attended such a company department gathering in a leadership role, was unaware that the guards had no intention of letting him pay when he heard ‘split the costs.’ Catching wind of it, Lin Fei, who couldn’t summon much cash on him, instinctively asked.

“Probably one to two hundred should be enough,” the guards replied, considering Lin Fei was a leader and they felt obliged to answer regardless of his reason for asking.

Indeed, these casual drinking gatherings typically wouldn’t cost much.

The problem was, often subjected to economic control by Mu Shanshan and having never received any salary since starting work, Lin Fei had less than a hundred yuan on him in total.

Right away, Lin Fei took out his phone again and called Mu Shanshan, “Honey, could you give me some money when I get off work?

They said the gathering costs are to be shared, and I don’t have any money on me.”

Lin Fei made this call without deliberately avoiding the two duty guards, and as a result, Lin Fei’s request to borrow money from his own wife was fully heard by the two guards.

After the call and leaving the lobby entrance, Lin Fei was unaware that due to his two phone calls, the gossip about Vice Minister Lin being under strict marital supervision was spreading widely within Mu Group!
