The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 331 - 331 331 Rely on a Mountain

331: Chapter 331: Rely on a Mountain?

Actually, Not Really 331: Chapter 331: Rely on a Mountain?

Actually, Not Really “Vice Minister Lin, I would have never guessed—you’re a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to relationships.”

At the Mu Group located in the Moongaze Building on the twenty-sixth floor, outside of Mu Shanshan’s CEO office.

Shen Xuan, with her delicate features and petite stature, had a face full of teasing colors.

It’s no wonder that Shen, the senior secretary, would tease Lin Fei right outside Mu Shanshan’s CEO office.

It was because Xu Yingying’s ridiculous reason for proposing marriage nearly killed Shen, the senior secretary, with laughter.

In fact, as far back as in Mu Shanshan’s CEO office, when Xu Yingying gave her ludicrous reason for proposing, Shen, the senior secretary, couldn’t hold back and burst out laughing.

If it hadn’t been for the icy CEO Mu Shanshan being present, she probably would have laughed even harder.

To begin with, it was bizarre enough for Xu Yingying, that half-grown girl, to run to the company in broad daylight looking for Lin Fei, asking him to marry her.

If it hadn’t been for the concern of crossing the icy CEO Mu Shanshan, Shen, the senior secretary, most likely would have taken Xu Yingying aside and grilled her about what kind of history she had with Lin Fei.

Now, well, Shen Xuan obviously didn’t have the interest to probe into Xu Yingying’s matters anymore.

The little lover of Vice Minister Lin, seeking marriage from him because she couldn’t endure the hardships of school—Shen Xuan couldn’t think of any news more explosive than that.

In fact, after teasing Lin Fei, Shen, the senior secretary, couldn’t wait to share the sensational news with other secretaries and assistants at the CEO secretariat.

“Xuanxuan, you know what you should say and what you shouldn’t, I shouldn’t need to remind you, right?”

Shen Xuan was barely able to hide her gossiping desires, so how could Lin Fei fail to guess?

Considering the saying, “family shame should not be spread abroad,” Lin Fei certainly wouldn’t let Shen Xuan spread the news about Xu Yingying seeking marriage.

“Vice Minister Lin, I think I should also remind you of something.

I am CEO Mu’s secretary, not yours.

What should be said and what should not be said, I don’t think I need you to remind me.”

The implication in Shen Xuan’s words was crystal clear; she belonged to Mu Shanshan and was not about to be lectured by a mere Vice Minister like Lin Fei.

Indeed, to put it frankly, Shen, the senior secretary, really didn’t feel the need to give Lin Fei much face.

Mu Group was different from other companies.

The icy CEO Mu Shanshan’s power extended across the entire Mu Group.

Especially since she had received support from her aunt Shen Peini and Shen Fanghua, her status and power within Mu Group had soared even more.

Given this situation, as the direct secretary to the icy CEO Mu Shanshan and even showing signs of becoming the top CEO secretary, Shen Xuan indeed had the capital not to give Lin Fei face.

Of course, that was on the premise that the marriage between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan wasn’t public.

If their marriage were to go public, Lin Fei wouldn’t need to say anything for Shen Xuan to automatically hit the delete button on her memory of incidents like Xu Yingying asking Lin Fei for marriage.

The problem was, while the marriage between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan wasn’t public yet, even if he wanted to exert the power and authority of the “Crown Prince” of Mu Group to intimidate Shen Xuan, she most likely wouldn’t believe him.

“Are you sure you don’t need a reminder?!”

“Of course.

If Vice Minister Lin doesn’t have anything else, I need to get back to work.”

Back to work my ass, more like off to gossip!

Knowing Shen Xuan for more than a day or two, how could Lin Fei not guess a woman’s mind?

Of course, what’s more, was Shen Xuan’s little schemes were written all over her face.

Anyone could see through them, not to mention Lin, the prestigious official himself!

“Have you ever thought that what I mean is actually what President Mu means?”

“What do you mean, don’t tell me you want to replace President Mu?!”

Not replacing her, but getting her into bed is a must.

Lin Fei silently mocked in his mind as he slowly approached Shen Xuan, not giving her any chance to dodge.

He directly wrapped his arm around the woman’s slender waist and leaned close to her ear, which was smooth like jade, and spoke softly, “Have you ever thought about the fact that I am also a senior executive in the company, and to a certain extent, I also represent the company’s image.

By spreading gossip about me, you’re essentially smearing President Mu’s reputation in a way.

Do you think this is what President Mu wants to see?”

“Or do you think our security team two are just here for a free meal?!”

“No, I haven’t thought that much.”

Ultimately just an ordinary urban female office worker, Shen Xuan was shaken to the core by Lin Fei’s threats and intimidation.

The arrogance she possessed earlier had been frightened away.

“It seems that you’ve understood.

Since that’s the case, I won’t say much more.

Go back to your work.”

Seeing that Shen Xuan was cowed, and with Xu Yingying, who had been left alone in the CEO’s office by Mu Shanshan, on his mind, Lin Fei surprisingly didn’t take advantage of the situation and softly directed the woman back to the executive secretary’s area.

…

“Sister Mu, I’ve decided, I don’t want to marry the uncle for now!”

Having dealt with Shen Xuan and returning to President Mu Shanshan’s office, Lin Fei wanted to find out how his wife, the President, had educated Xu Yingying, that little devil.

The moment he stepped into Mu Shanshan’s executive office, he heard Xu Yingying’s declaration, which greatly relieved him.

Lin Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that he could temporarily escape the clutches of Xu Yingying the little devil, and couldn’t help but silently give a thumbs up to his wife, the President.

Xu Yingying the little devil was quite a handful, and Lin Fei knew this very well.

When he was with Xu Yingying, Lin Fei often racked his brains over her.

Originally, Lin Fei was worried about how to dissuade Xu Yingying from her annoying idea of wanting to marry him.

Unexpectedly, his wife, the President Mu Shanshan, had already taken care of it for him.

From this point of view, President Mu Shanshan, his wife, was quite competent.

Just as Lin Fei was thinking about what to say next, Mu Shanshan’s cherry lips parted and she spoke first, “Vice Minister Lin, your timing is perfect.

I’ve already recognized Yingying as my sworn sister.

From now on, for my sake, I hope you will at least respect her.”

What?

Sworn sister?

That’s a bit of an overboard joke.

“Uncle, from now on, with Sister Mu as my backer, you can’t bully me at will.

You have to respect me, care for me, listen to me, otherwise, Sister Mu will teach you a lesson on my behalf.”

Looking at Xu Yingying standing there with her little head tilted back, full of smug excitement, Lin Fei felt an inexplicable sense of bleakness for the girl.

On the surface, with the ice-queen President Mu Shanshan as her backer, Xu Yingying indeed could do as she pleased within Mu Group, even outmaneuvering Lin Fei.

But don’t forget, while Mu Shanshan is the President of Mu Group, she is also Lin Fei’s legitimate wife.

If Xu Yingying became Mu Shanshan’s sworn sister, that indirectly made her Lin Fei’s sworn sister as well.

With this move, although it seemed like Mu Shanshan was supporting Xu Yingying, in reality, she was nipping in the bud any possibility of Xu Yingying marrying Lin Fei.

To be sold and still help count the money—that was probably what they meant by someone like Xu Yingying, this half-grown girl…
