Chapter 370 - 370 370 Lin Fei Being Ignored by His Own Woman

370: Chapter 370: Lin Fei Being Ignored by His Own Woman 370: Chapter 370: Lin Fei Being Ignored by His Own Woman Lin Fei, Mu Shanshan, and Gu Lanzi were together in a high-end hotel VIP room.

Gu Lanzi’s promise of one billion had not achieved the effect she had anticipated.

Neither Lin Fei nor Mu Shanshan showed any signs of surprise.

Mu Shanshan was somewhat better; at least the woman displayed a slight hint of astonishment, whereas Lin Fei—was visibly displeased!

For Lin Fei, who had long grown indifferent to money and fame and was the soul of the Hell’s Judgement Organization, a sum of one billion was clearly insignificant.

On the contrary, Gu Lanzi, who was a real-power deputy leader, had credited herself with the accomplishment of taking down the Fang Family, which obviously triggered Lin Fei’s sense of irritation.

Lin Fei, who had already retired from the military, certainly didn’t care about credit.

However, it was he who had run around to collect evidence of the Fang Family’s money laundering in order to clear Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, of suspicion.

Due to a one-night stand with Gu Lanzi, this real-power deputy leader, Lin Fei allowed Gu Lanzi to take a great advantage, and she didn’t offer any words of thanks in return.

Instead, she used this incident to strengthen her negotiating position with Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO.

This was intolerable, and Lin Fei, as a husband, could no longer bear it!

“Deputy Leader Gu, you said earlier that all the evidence against the Fang Family was collected by your people.

However, I heard that the evidence was actually gathered by a kindhearted citizen and given to the police, who then passed it on to you, didn’t they?” asked Lin Fei.

“Rumors are just rumors and should not be taken lightly.

Mr.

Lin still needs to learn more from CEO Mu and try to enhance his own judgment,” Gu replied.

Lin Fei’s underlying reminders and dissatisfaction were unmistakable, and how could Gu Lanzi not perceive them?

However, now intending to elevate her negotiating leverage with Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO, and certain that Lin Fei would not reveal the truth to Mu Shanshan, Gu Lanzi was clearly not going to undermine herself.

“Thank you for the enlightenment, Deputy Leader Gu—I’ll remember that!” Lin Fei promised, with a barely restrained frustration.

Gu Lanzi’s pretense of ignorance coupled with her condescending tone nearly pushed Lin Fei to the brink of flipping the table in anger.

Only the presence of his CEO wife Mu Shanshan restrained him; otherwise, Lin Fei would have definitely made Gu Lanzi, the real-power deputy leader, regret it.

For Lin Fei, who was accustomed to taking advantage of women and never understood the concept of being on the losing end, Gu Lanzi’s words were a severe provocation!

Just as Lin Fei himself had said, he would remember today’s incident and would make sure to pay Gu Lanzi back double when he had the chance!

“CEO Mu is silent—is it because you think my offer is too low, or do you have other plans?” Gu Lanzi asked, seemingly unfazed by Lin Fei’s grievances.

Her main attention was clearly focused on Mu Shanshan, the ice queen CEO.

“The support of one billion in corporate funds is not insignificant for Mu Group, given the importance Deputy Leader Gu places on it.

However, since Deputy Leader Gu is interested, I think it is necessary for me to strive for the full amount of the key enterprise support funds,” Mu Shanshan stated.

Mu Shanshan, who was intent on expanding and strengthening Mu Group, was clearly not content with only a fraction of the key enterprise support funds offered by Gu Lanzi.

Though Gu Lanzi had already stated that compared to the totality of the key enterprise support funds available, the overall scale of Mu Group was not sufficient.

But with a business talent and operational capacity as terrifying as Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, the business capital she held in her hands was obviously not limited to just Mu Group.

“Unfortunately, this time I really might have to disappoint President Mu.

Ten billion is the maximum amount I can offer.

Perhaps, President Mu doesn’t know that Fang Zhentao once visited my office personally.

Even with the full strength of the Fang Family, I never lent him a single penny!”

Notwithstanding the recognition of her achievements, considering Mu Group’s overall scale and the impact of the key enterprise support fund on herself, ten billion indeed was the maximum amount Gu Lanzi could lend to Mu Group.

“There’s something you might not be aware of, Vice Director Gu.

Not long ago, I reached a preliminary alliance agreement with Chairman Su of Red Valley Group.

It’s just that both parties are still discussing the specific direction of cooperation, hence we have not officially announced this news.”

In order to obtain the full amount from the key enterprise support fund, Mu Shanshan began to reveal her hidden cards to Gu Lanzi, the influential Deputy Director.

“President Mu, you really have given me quite the surprise.

If your company truly can reach a specific cooperation agreement with Red Valley Group, I might reconsider lending your company the full amount of the key enterprise support fund.”

The information about the alliance with Red Valley Group shared by Mu Shanshan had certainly spiked the interest of Gu Lanzi, the influential Deputy Director.

Just as Mu Shanshan’s reputation surpassed that of Mu Group, the lauded status of Su Qinglan, the desirable woman Chairman of Red Valley Group referred to as the “blessing of Zhonghai’s women,” also added considerable value to Red Valley Group.

Thinking about the potential impact on the business world of Zhonghai after the alliance between Mu Group and Red Valley Group, it was indeed crucial for Gu Lanzi, the influential Deputy Director, to reconsider the amount of the key enterprise support fund to be lent to Mu Group.

After all, neither Mu Group nor Red Valley Group were insignificant companies.

The synergistic effect generated by their alliance would definitely be greater than the sum of their parts.

“If Vice Director Gu doesn’t mind spending the time, I would like to show you a few companies I have invested in privately.”

Mu Shanshan was never one to rely on external forces; otherwise, she couldn’t have led Mu Group to multiply its performance several times over by her own strength.

The alliance between Mu Group and Red Valley Group, for Mu Shanshan, was merely an unexpected bonus.

The true mainstay of Mu Shanshan’s heart, particularly in business matters, has always been herself!

Because she is Mu Shanshan!

“My aim for today was already achieved.

It’s rare for you, President Mu, to offer me this opportunity to exceed my targets, and I am pleased to accompany you.”

A hint of joy could be seen in Gu Lanzi’s charming phoenix eyes.

Tasked with overseeing Zhonghai’s economic work, how could Gu Lanzi not realize that Mu Shanshan was about to show her the hidden capital?

Time was not a major concern for Gu Lanzi.

Her primary job was inherently bound to intersect with the business sector.

It was a rare opportunity for Mu Shanshan to reveal her hidden assets.

This would be highly beneficial for Gu Lanzi in lending out the key enterprise support fund and gaining a deeper understanding of Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO’s commercial prowess.

In a way, Mu Shanshan’s invitation was something Gu Lanzi couldn’t have asked for more eagerly.

Indeed, Gu Lanzi was already somewhat impatient.

With one cordial invitation and the other eager to proceed, Mu Shanshan and Gu Lanzi did not exchange many words and proceeded to leave the VIP private room.

As for Lin Fei, he was selectively ignored by the two women…
