229: Chapter 229: Want to Socialize?

Come Home with Me Tonight!

Moongaze Building, twelfth floor—Mu Group’s Women Country.

Hmm, in Lin Fei’s memory, the General Affairs Department of Mu Group was almost synonymous with Women Country.

But he had just stepped out of the elevator, not yet fully entering the office area of the General Affairs Department, when the familiar scent—a mix of various perfumes—hit his nose.

Even though he had viewed this department as his “harem” and it had been over a month since his last visit, Lin Fei felt no sense of unfamiliarity.

He walked into the office area of the General Affairs Department with ease.

Before he had a chance to deliver an impassioned speech about his triumphant return, someone stopped him.

“Well, if it isn’t our Vice Minister Lin.

To what do we owe the pleasure of a visit from such a busy man like you?

Don’t tell me Yina is too overwhelmed by herself and you’re here to recruit some strong men from our humble department.”

“Vice Minister Lin, you really should stop.

We sisters are quite content here in the General Affairs Department.

If you’re looking to draft men, I think you should look at other departments.”

“Exactly, Vice Minister Lin.

You were one of us in the General Affairs Department; how could you keep coming here to recruit men?”

A group of women employees from the General Affairs Department chattered on, none displaying the slightest intent to greet Lin Fei, their long-lost colleague.

It was clear—they were looking for an excuse to accuse him.

Given Lin Fei’s former popularity in the General Affairs Department, it was tough to return after a long time only to be treated so unfairly.

The metaphorical black lines on his forehead seemed to be dripping down, and with just a bit of thought, he could guess that it was definitely Xiao Yina who ran back to these women employees of the General Affairs Department to complain and seek pity.

Seeing this accusing attack, Xiao Yina might have really slandered big time.

“Originally, I wanted to talk to Minister Ling about having a joint social gathering tonight between our two departments.

Since you all don’t seem too welcoming, forget about it.”

Lin Fei never ran out of ways to deal with women.

And just like that, with just one sentence, the women of the General Affairs Department who were criticizing him had a change of heart.

Recently, if there was a department under Mu Group that was in the spotlight, it was certainly Lin Fei’s Security Department Team Two.

They were also the one not to be provoked.

Mu Group was already heavily female-dominated, and it was nearly impossible to find many male staff in the headquarters.

With Lin Fei as their backbone, the prominently featured Security Department Team Two became a topic of discussion among the women employees within Mu Group.

Now, Lin Fei was proposing a joint evening social for the two departments.

Naturally, the women of the General Affairs Department were very interested.

Seeing Lin Fei about to leave, they reached out, pulled him back, and attempted to convince him to stay.

Lin Fei never knew how to reject women who threw themselves at him.

There were hugs and cheek-to-cheek greetings—a commotion until Lin Fei finally emerged from the crowd.

“Wait for my good news.

We’ll go out and have fun together tonight.”

Under the expectant gazes of the women from the General Affairs Department, Lin Fei casually walked into Ling Weiwei’s office.

…

In front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows stood Ling Weiwei, tall and slender with her raven hair swept up high, heels clicking underneath her—she was like a quiet statue of a goddess.

The scene was beautiful, yet beauty is always fleeting.

“Aren’t you tired of standing?

How about we go lie down on the bed for a while?” Lin Fei, who had appeared beside Ling Weiwei at some point, casually draped his arm over the woman’s slender waist and made his seductive suggestion.

“I actually thought that a certain someone wouldn’t remember that I was coming back from a business trip today.” With eyes like autumn waters, Ling Weiwei gave Bai Linfei a reproachful glance and then rested her head on his shoulder with a natural motion.

Lin Fei was shocked.

Heaven and earth be his witness, he, Minister Lin, had no idea at all that Ling Weiwei had been away on a business trip.

Lin Fei had even thought that the reason he hadn’t seen Ling Weiwei these past days was that she was too busy with work and hadn’t left her office at all.

However, this clearly didn’t prevent Lin Fei from perfectly responding to Ling Weiwei.

There was no helping it; after all, who had a quicker wit and a thicker skin than Minister Lin himself?

“How could I not?!

I was actually planning on picking you up from the airport today.”

“Really?” Ling Weiwei stared unblinkingly at Lin Fei with her bright autumnal eyes, as though she wanted to peer right through his tiger-like gaze and see into his heart.

“Of course!” As a veteran in the game of desire, Lin Fei knew very well that the more critical the moment, the less one should show weakness!

Having decided from the start to be brazen, he had to go all the way!

“It’s rare for you to be so thoughtful.” Ling Weiwei gently reassured Lin Fei, then stood up from his embrace.

With her soft, white hands, she grabbed the collar of Lin Fei’s clothes, and her eyes, previously brimming with laughter, suddenly turned cold, “However, today is already the third day since I’ve returned from my business trip!”

“Weiwei—”

“I’m not sure, Vice Minister Lin, what you’ve come to see me for.

It’s working hours now; if it’s a personal matter, I think it’s better if we talk after work.” Minister Ling, her face cold, did not give Lin Fei the chance to apologize and atone.

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, she took on a strictly business-like demeanor.

Clearly, due to someone’s negligence about her business trip and his impudence, Minister Ling was very, very displeased!

“I am here to discuss official business with you in my capacity as the Vice Minister of the Security Department.” How could Lin Fei not realize Ling Weiwei’s displeasure and her hint for him to leave?

But outside, there was a group of female staff members from the General Affairs Department waiting to hear his good news.

Seeing that Ling Weiwei didn’t want to see him, Lin Fei had no choice but to steel himself and proceed.

“Please speak candidly, Vice Minister Lin.” Just from listening, one could detect a trace of resentment and indignation in Ling Weiwei’s tone.

The Minister had been away on business for many days, and it was bad enough that he hadn’t called to offer words of comfort for her longing.

Now, three days after her return from the business trip, he finally came to see her, but only to talk about work.

If it weren’t for years of workplace experience that had honed Minister Ling’s good professional temperament, Ling Weiwei might have already taken action to throw him out.

“Several security brothers under my command are being discharged from the hospital today, and I thought it would be a good opportunity for our two departments to hold a joint social event.

Everyone else has agreed, and now it’s up to you.”

“If you want me to agree, it’s not impossible.” Just as Lin Fei was wondering whether he should take some more forceful measures if Ling Weiwei didn’t agree to his idea of a joint gathering, Ling Weiwei surprisingly gave such a response.”

“Then it’s settled, see you tonight.” Saying this, the sin-ridden Lin Fei was about to turn and make his escape.

“Stop, I haven’t dismissed you yet.”

“Minister Ling, is there anything else?”

Looking at Lin Fei mimicking her professional demeanor, Ling Weiwei really couldn’t suppress her irritation.

However, considering the condition she was about to propose, Ling Weiwei forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart and coldly said, “The gathering is fine, but after it’s over, you have to come home with me.

We had a bet, and since I lost to you, I must honor our wager and cook for you.”

Want to have a social event?

Fine!

But afterwards, you’re coming home with me, or there’s no deal!

(It’s hot, I have heatstroke, my head is spinning.

Dear readers, please bear with me, the climax is coming soon…)
