The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 343 - 343 343 Ambitions of the Goddess Mu

343: Chapter 343: Ambitions of the Goddess Mu 343: Chapter 343: Ambitions of the Goddess Mu “Mr.

Mu’s husband is rather interesting.”

At the top floor of Red Valley International Women’s Health Club, Lin Fei left immediately after Mu Shanshan had told him to “take his work seriously.” After Lin Fei had left her office, Su Qinglan spoke thoughtfully.

“Chairman Mu must be amused.”

Unaware of the one-night stand that had occurred between Su Qinglan and Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan suddenly felt embarrassed for Lin Fei after connecting Su Qinglan’s previous comments about the hotel confinement and Lin Fei’s behavior, despite her years of business experience giving her a strong mental fortitude.

Truth be told, Mu Shanshan was icy and even used work issues to suppress Lin Fei and eventually drove him out, not merely because she valued the business opportunities that Su Qinglan’s Red Valley Group could bring to Mu Group.

Su Qinglan’s identity as the chairman of Red Valley Group was indeed worth Mu Shanshan’s attention.

Indeed, Mu Shanshan had already considered that Su Qinglan likely wanted to discuss some business secrets.

However, since Lin Fei was legally married to her and also had a share in Mu Group, no business secret was vital enough to exclude him.

Moreover, Mu Shanshan had more than once tried to awaken Lin Fei’s ambition in work.

If Lin Fei were genuinely interested in business matters, Mu Shanshan would have been more than willing to involve him in any trade negotiations concerning Mu Group, whether internal or external.

The problem, however, was Lin Fei’s lazy and shameless nature, making it clear to Mu Shanshan that turning Lin Fei into a successful business elite was nearly impossible—purely wishful thinking.

Understanding Lin Fei’s nature and with signals from Su Qinglan, Mu Shanshan saw no reason to keep Lin Fei around any longer.

She simply drove him away.

…

“I wonder if Chairman Mu has heard that ever since Fang Wenxi lost Meishilin, Fangxing Group has been having a hard time.”

Although Su Qinglan was rather displeased with Lin Fei, as the chairman of Red Valley Group, her purpose in sending Lin Fei away was not to speak ill of him to Mu Shanshan, but rather to discuss genuine business matters.

Initially, when Mu Shanshan’s personal yoga instructor Luo Liya mentioned that Mu Shanshan was practicing yoga at the club, Su Qinglan was unaware that Mu Shanshan’s husband was Lin Fei, with whom she had had a one-night stand.

However, she had confronted Lin Fei several times after figuring it out.

Nevertheless, this was clearly not why Su Qinglan personally came down to find Mu Shanshan.

Lin Fei’s presence was merely incidental to her; Chairman Su was truly seeking to talk to Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO.

“I have indeed heard about it and must congratulate Chairman Su.”

Having known Su Qinglan from earlier, Mu Shanshan had anticipated business cooperation talks when Su Qinglan had come down to find her.

After deliberating Red Valley Group’s situation for a long time, Mu Shanshan was not too surprised when Su Qinglan suddenly mentioned Fangxing Group.

If Su Qinglan were merely joking about Lin Fei and not discussing business cooperation, that would have truly surprised Mu Shanshan.

After all, fundamentally, both she and Su Qinglan were businesspeople.

“Oh, may I ask Chairman Mu, where does this joy come from?”

“As I understand, your company and Fangxing Group have always been competitors in the hotel business.

If Fangxing Group is having a hard time, isn’t that good news for Chairman Su?”

“Chairman Mu jests, if we talk about competition, it should be said that your company has more business competition with Fangxing Group.

The one to congratulate should be me.”

“Then it is—congratulations to both.”

“That depends on whether Director Mu is willing to cooperate with me.”

“I don’t know, what kind of cooperation are you referring to, Chairman Su?”

“As far as I know, Director Mu seems to be acquiring the tradable shares of Fangxing Group?”

When Su Qinglan spoke thus, Mu Shanshan finally showed a slight hint of surprise.

However, it was just a slight hint.

The strong psychological resilience honed from years of business experience ensured that, although surprised, Mu Shanshan’s expression remained entirely unreadable, her demeanor as an icy CEO seeming even more daunting.

“I don’t know where Chairman Su heard that I was acquiring the tradable shares of Fangxing Group.

All I can say is that I am very interested in Fangxing Group.

Just—I don’t have that much money.”

“Fangxing Group’s scale is indeed very large, and it would indeed be difficult for Mu Group alone to acquire Fangxing Group.

However, what if I were willing to lend Director Mu a helping hand?”

As soon as Su Qinglan spoke, the entire top floor of the club seemed to fall into complete silence due to this woman’s words.

Even Mu Shanshan, this icy CEO, had a momentary panic.

It’s not that Mu Shanshan lacks psychological resilience, but Su Qinglan’s words seriously exceeded Mu Shanshan’s expectations.

Or rather, Su Qinglan’s words indirectly revealed the ambition that Mu Shanshan had buried deep in her heart.

That’s right, it was ambition, tinged with a hint of vindictiveness!

As Mu Shanshan herself had said, she was very interested in Fangxing Group.

Her interest was not merely about acquiring some tradable shares of Fangxing Group on the market.

The nature of Mu Shanshan’s interest targeted the entirety of Fangxing Group!

Mu Group and Fangxing Group, both well-known enterprises in Zhonghai, cooperated but also competed more often.

Especially in the past two years, under Mu Shanshan’s leadership, Mu Group’s rapid development had indeed seriously threatened the vested interests of Fangxing Group.

This was precisely why, after knowing that Mu Shanshan had married Lin Fei, Fang Wenxi immediately made an aggressive move to acquire Meishilin, aiming to strike at Mu Group, which was the main reason.

In short, Fangxing Group did not want to see Mu Group continue to develop.

And as the CEO of Mu Group, it was Mu Shanshan’s job to lead Mu Group forward.

Thus, a conflict was born.

The only solution to this conflict was the complete downfall of one party.

To bring down Mu Group, Fang Wenxi resorted to maliciously bidding for Meishilin, using the most aggressive method possible to strike at Mu Group.

Mu Shanshan, in contrast, aimed to swallow Fangxing Group, thus completely resolving the conflict and strengthening herself!

However, as Mu Shanshan herself had said, she didn’t have enough money to realize this ambition.

Thus, she resorted to gradually acquiring the tradable shares of Fangxing Group, slowly building up to leverage the whole of Fangxing Group.

This method could maximize the stability of Mu Group’s development.

The only downside was that it was too time-consuming.

Conservatively estimated, it would need—two years!

Yet now, Su Qinglan had taken the initiative to offer her assistance, which made Mu Shanshan lose her composure.

Because if Su Qinglan could truly coordinate with her to move against Fangxing Group,

With the combined strength of Red Valley Group and Mu Group, the time it would take for Mu Shanshan’s ambition to be realized could be significantly shortened.

It wouldn’t take two years, just a few weeks, or even just—a few days…
