Chapter 235 - 235 235 Surrounded by Three Beauties A Narrow Escape from Death Part 2

235: Chapter 235: Surrounded by Three Beauties, A Narrow Escape from Death (Part 2) 235: Chapter 235: Surrounded by Three Beauties, A Narrow Escape from Death (Part 2) Meishilin Top Floor, VIP Dining Area.

The so-called VIP dining area was—simply a place where more money was spent!

When they had been in the main hall on the ground floor and admired by many, the always aloof CEO, Mu Shanshan, confidently waved her hand, swiped her credit card, and the four of them arrived at this slightly quieter VIP dining area.

After finishing their meal, the four of them took their seats, and Shen Peini, who had been warned by Lin Fei, finally settled down a bit.

Meanwhile, Ling Weiwei, who was intent on taking Lin Fei home for dinner, had been threatened by Lin Fei and wisely kept silent.

Although Minister Ling was indeed infatuated with Lin Fei and had prepared for that, it was clearly not something Ling Weiwei had anticipated.

For the vast majority of women, the word “pregnant” was something to be approached with caution.

Especially for a high-level white-collar worker like Ling Weiwei, who was accustomed to the corporate struggle, there was an inexplicable panic at the thought.

Based on this panic, Ling Weiwei’s intense urge to bring Lin Fei home for dinner unconsciously lessened quite a bit.

And Mu Shanshan, due to Lin Fei’s previous narcissism and shamelessness, disdained to engage with Lin Fei even more.

Thus, Lin Fei found a moment of peace and was able to enjoy his meal.

“President Mu, I heard from Aunt that you are interested in expanding to overseas markets?” With the three women no longer concerning themselves with Lin Fei, they started their own conversation.

It goes without saying that having the ice-queen CEO, Mu Shanshan, attend the networking event had its advantages for Lin Fei.

However, with Mu Shanshan present, both Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei somewhat reined themselves in.

And hearing Shen Peini voluntarily talking to Mu Shanshan about work, Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Lin Fei was not particularly interested in workplace matters.

Still, under these circumstances, if the three women could talk about work and completely forget about Lin Fei, it would offer him, who didn’t know how to make an exit, a perfect opportunity to slip away safely.

Just as Lin Fei breathed a sigh of relief and focused on the delicious food on his plate,

Ling Weiwei, the beauty minister who had just been threatened by Lin Fei, obviously wouldn’t be so bold.

The only possibility—

“The domestic market is becoming somewhat saturated, and I’ve been researching international markets for the past few months.

I plan to send someone to Singapore soon for a survey.

If we can find suitable channel dealers, I plan to enter the East Luoya market within the year.” Unaware of the subtle maneuvers between Shen Peini and Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan, who always prioritized career, naturally shifted her attention to Shen Peini’s proactive discussion about international expansion.

“My thoughts are exactly the same as President Mu’s.

With the size of the domestic market alone, it’s becoming difficult for our company’s performance to continue to soar.

Although the European market is larger.

However, given our current company strength, it is not yet suitable for us to enter the European market.

The East Luoya market is indeed our top choice at the moment.

However, you are also aware of our situation in the marketing department, President Mu, I’m afraid it’s difficult for me to undertake the survey task.”

If one only observed Shen Peini’s demeanor and listened to her words, no one would guess that this dignified, well-spoken Shen, Manager of the marketing department—

“As for the survey, I have someone else in mind—”

“Psst—” Mu Shanshan hadn’t finished her sentence when Lin Fei, who had been quietly sipping wine beside her, suddenly sprayed out a mouthful of red wine.

Shen Peini had carefully selected a variety of delicacies for Lin Fei, which were largely ruined by his sip of red wine.

“Vice Minister Lin, if you have any dissatisfaction with our conversation, you can certainly bring it up, there’s no need to use such an aggressive method to remind us of your presence right?!”

Entering the East Luoyan market was a project highly valued by President Mu.

She, President Mu, and Shen Peini, the marketing director, were having a productive discussion, and next, they were planning to consult Ling Weiwei, her most trusted aide, to take on the responsibility of inspection.

Unexpectantly, their own had jumped out to sabotage.

Normally idle at the company and never aiding President Mu in handling company affairs was one thing.

Now, even dining out couldn’t be peaceful.

Mu Shanshan was well aware that her nominal husband was indifferent to work.

President Mu had never relied on Lin Fei to assist with company affairs.

It was okay not to like work, but not even behaving during a meal was too much.

Such an unwarranted interruption from Lin Fei, how could President Mu not be furious!

“President Mu, I think Vice Minister Lin didn’t do it on purpose, he might just have eaten too quickly.” Seeing Mu Shanshan angered and worried about Lin Fei, Ling Weiwei hurriedly jumped in to speak positively for Lin Fei.

While speaking, Ling Weiwei didn’t forget to give Lin Fei a look, signaling him to quickly follow her lead and apologize to Mu Shanshan.

Lin Fei was no fool; he knew full well the goodwill of Ling Weiwei, but knowing that, he still couldn’t accept it.

The reason was simple, he, Lin Fei, despite everything, was still Mu Shanshan’s husband, and to put it bluntly, the matters between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei were essentially domestic.

And though Ling Weiwei was Mu Shanshan’s most trusted aide, she was only likely to have the opposite effect.

For instance, after Ling Weiwei spoke on behalf of Lin Fei, President Mu’s already slightly cold eyes turned colder, her gaze almost seeming to freeze Lin Fei!

Lin Fei felt deeply wronged!

He, Lin Fei, was even more wronged than Dou E!

In all honesty, he absolutely had no intention of interrupting Mu Shanshan, much less spraying wine to oppose Mu Shanshan’s plan to enter the East Luoyan market!

The reason the situation had developed to such an embarrassingly awkward point was definitely not his fault.

It was intentional, this woman was definitely doing it on purpose!

“Please, continue, continue.”

With his boss wife’s cold harsh gaze upon him, Lin Fei bravely made a few remarks to ease the situation, casually clearing the array of dishes in front of him.

“President Mu, I’ve always been curious, why would you promote a man like Vice Minister Lin—who lacks both qualifications and abilities—to be the deputy director of the Security Department?

Could it be that Vice Minister Lin has some special background?”

Lin Fei’s action of casually taking away Mu Shanshan’s plate.

Not only Shen Peini but even Ling Weiwei’s clear, questioning eyes fluttered uncertainly between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan.

Lin Fei’s repeated mentions of Mu Shanshan, the icy president being his wife, somehow jarringly surfaced in Ling Weiwei’s thoughts.

Mu Shanshan’s cold, slightly annoyed eyes glanced at Lin Fei briefly then covertly explained to Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, “Lin Fei is the son of my dad’s comrade-in-arms, allowing him into the company was also my dad’s decision.”

Naturally, Mu Shanshan’s dad was Lin Fei’s cheap father-in-law, Mu Hong.

With Mu Hong as his backing, Lin Fei’s seemingly excessive behaviors in the company were easily explained.

Dragging out Mu Hong, who had long retired behind the scenes as the chairman, President Mu’s somewhat equivocal explanation undoubtedly became much more persuasive.

A dubious explanation, yet all four tacitly agreed…
