The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 365 - 365 365 Treating the Leader as the Mistress

365: Chapter 365: Treating the Leader as the Mistress 365: Chapter 365: Treating the Leader as the Mistress Mu Group’s location, Moongaze Building, first-floor lobby.

“I suddenly remembered I have some work to do, so I’m not going to chat with you, Xue’er.

Let’s go visit Uncle Wang and take a break when we have time.”

Lin Fei, concerned about the all-nighter he had pulled with President Mu Shanshan, inadvertently made a playful tease to Meng Xue’er, the girl whose purity shone through to her core.

Suddenly seeing Meng Xue’er’s pretty, pale face flush deep red, Lin Fei, realizing he had misspoken, quickly made an excuse and hurriedly left the front desk.

The girl next door was blossoming into youth, yet her heart remained so pure.

Lin Fei, who had played the field for years, saw Meng Xue’er as absolutely the most unblemished and translucent girl he had ever encountered.

And it was precisely because of Meng Xue’er’s purity that Lin Fei, after his unintentional flirtation, felt an inexplicable twinge of guilt.

If Meng Xue’er, the pristine girl down to the bone, had been replaced by any of the other women Lin Fei knew within Mu Group, he wouldn’t have felt any guilt at all.

In fact, he probably would have taken the opportunity to get a bit fresh with them.

Even more so, if it had been the intriguing beauty Shen Peini or the stunning Department Head Ling Weiwei, Lin Fei, after his jokes, most likely wouldn’t have been able to resist starting a fling in the office.

As for Meng Xue’er, the girl with purity deep in her marrow, Lin Fei obviously had no such intentions.

Feeling a sense of unexplained guilt, Lin Fei made an excuse without much thought, focused solely on leaving the front desk—and he didn’t notice that the moment he turned away, Meng Xue’er, her pretty face flushed and eyes filled with embarrassment, was looking at his departing figure with a trace of indiscernible affection…

Lin Fei didn’t see the vague strands of emotion hidden in Meng Xue’er’s charming eyes.

As he walked away from the front desk, his intention had been to find either the mesmerizing beauty Shen Peini or the beautiful Department Head Ling Weiwei, to see which of the two women had time to engage with him in a long-awaited office romance.

But before he could reach the elevator, his phone started ringing.

Not many people knew Lin Fei’s mobile number, especially after he returned to Zhonghai and had strictly forbidden anyone from Hell’s Judgement Organization to call him.

The number of people who could call him in broad daylight was definitely countable on his fingers.

Having mentally sorted through who might be calling him, Lin Fei casually pulled out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and felt a bit surprised.

The caller was none other than Gu Lanzi, the influential deputy leader overseeing Zhonghai’s economy—with whom he had a one-night stand and who had also indirectly scammed him of a billion.

“I’m busy during the day, call me after you’ve booked a room in the evening.”

Upon answering the call, this was the first and only line Lin Fei threw at Gu Lanzi, that influential deputy leader.

Then, Lin Fei hung up the phone!

One couldn’t blame Lin Fei for not taking Gu Lanzi, that deputy leader, seriously.

Truth be told, in his heart, Lin Fei really didn’t consider Gu Lanzi much.

If it hadn’t been for that night together, which left Lin Fei with quite pleasant memories of Gu Lanzi’s slightly voluptuous and graceful body, he probably wouldn’t have even cared to answer her calls.

An influential deputy leader in Zhonghai might be a person of high stature that others looked up to.

But for Lin Fei, who had stormed the presidential palaces of several countries abroad and had even been granted a noble title by a nation on the Western Continent, that meant little.

Of course, the main reason Lin Fei overlooked Gu Lanzi was his eagerness to find Shen Peini, the bewitching beauty, and Ling Weiwei, the gorgeous department head, to enjoy the office romance he had long anticipated.

…

In a high-class restaurant in Zhonghai, within the spacious and brightly lit VIP room, there sat Gu Lanzi, captivatingly charming, her skin as white as snow, embodying grace and elegance.

With porcelain-like fingers, she held her phone, appearing slightly dazed.

Bang!

Eventually, Gu Lanzi managed to gather her wits.

Being unable to contain her anger, she slammed her phone down forcefully onto the table!

Ever since she became the deputy leader of Zhonghai, Gu Lanzi seldom made phone calls to anyone.

It wasn’t that she didn’t need to, but that there was no necessity.

Take Fang Zhentao, for example.

Before his downfall and arrest, he was among the foremost tycoons of Zhonghai.

Even someone like Fang Zhentao would take the initiative to call Gu Lanzi when he needed something, even going to her office in person.

But now, Gu Lanzi had taken the initiative to call Lin Fei, and Lin Fei seemed far from being pleasantly surprised.

Instead, he didn’t even give her the chance to speak, brushing her off with a sentence before hanging up on her, the great deputy leader.

This wasn’t just a matter of not giving face; it was utter disregard!

Since becoming the deputy leader of Zhonghai, Lin Fei was definitely the first person who dared to hang up on her, and if things didn’t go awry, he would also be the last!

Before calling Lin Fei, Gu Lanzi had anticipated that he might say something inappropriate after picking up her call.

After all, she had had a one-night stand with Lin Fei and even indirectly swindled ten billion from him.

As long as what Lin Fei said wasn’t too outrageous, Gu Lanzi was not planning to quarrel with him.

However, she clearly hadn’t expected Lin Fei to throw such a sentence at her!

The moment she comprehended what Lin Fei had said, Gu Lanzi’s brain genuinely experienced, for an instant, a complete freeze.

Once she regained her senses, the feeling of shame and indignation threatened to burst her from the inside out!

“I’m busy during the day, book a room at night and call me then!”

This was practically treating her, a leader, as if she was a mistress!

It was intolerable, even for a leader!

If it hadn’t been for really needing Lin Fei’s help, Gu Lanzi would have gotten up immediately to confront Lin Fei at Mu Group, the urge to fight him surging in her heart!

Although Gu Lanzi often found herself thinking about her night with Lin Fei whenever she woke up from her midnight dreams, given Lin Fei’s marital status with Mu Shanshan and out of female modesty and self-respect, Gu Lanzi obviously didn’t intend to proactively seek him out for anything further.

Even if Lin Fei approached her, she would have given it plenty of consideration.

But now, things had turned out badly.

She simply wanted to ask Lin Fei to arrange a meeting with the icy CEO Mu Shanshan to discuss some official business.

Yet, when she reached out to Lin Fei through the phone, it turned into her not being able to stand the loneliness, wanting to continue their one-night affair.

Even more so, she wasn’t given the chance to speak before he straightforwardly hung up on her.

This was only because Lin Fei wasn’t present in front of her.

If Lin Fei had been in the room, Gu Lanzi’s phone definitely wouldn’t have just hit the table.

It was likely that everything Gu Lanzi could have picked up on the table would have been hurled at Lin Fei in her rage.

Angry as she was, indignant as she felt, after all, she was the one seeking Lin Fei’s help.

Suppressing her urge to destroy Lin Fei out of humiliation, Gu Lanzi picked up her phone and dialed Lin Fei again…
