Initially, Lin Fei, left forgotten in the VIP lounge by his boss wife Mu Shanshan and the de facto deputy leader Gu Lanzi, was more or less displeased.

After all, the feeling of being overlooked by one’s own woman is quite helpless and frustrating for any man.

However, considering the matters that Mu Shanshan, his boss wife, and Gu Lanzi, the de facto deputy leader, were discussing weren’t of much interest to him, Lin Fei didn’t find their neglect entirely unacceptable.

Rarely ignored by his boss wife Mu Shanshan, Lin Fei obviously had other plans in mind.

Once Mu Shanshan, his boss wife, had left, practically everything at Mu Group could be said to be Lin Fei’s domain.

Lin Fei was thinking about catching a cab back to the Moongaze Building to have a chat about life and dreams with Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, those two beautiful department heads.

If possible, maybe even play around with an office romance.

Unexpectedly, Mu Shanshan and Gu Lanzi had come back, and bad luck would have it, they ran into him right at the restaurant’s main entrance.

“I and Director Gu have been drinking and shouldn’t drive.

You’ll have to be our driver.”

Originally, Mu Shanshan had no intention of turning back to find Lin Fei, her nominal husband.

After all, he wouldn’t be of any help with the issues she and the de facto deputy leader Gu Lanzi were discussing.

However, after having a few drinks with Gu Lanzi, who wasn’t exactly a heavyweight in drinking, Mu Shanshan didn’t seem drunk but was apparently not in the best condition to drive.

And, with Gu Lanzi’s status as the de facto deputy leader in Zhonghai City, it was even less appropriate for her to get behind the wheel herself.

What Mu Shanshan wanted to show Gu Lanzi was her hidden assets.

And such hidden assets are best kept with as few people knowing as possible.

Therefore, having Lin Fei, her nominal husband, drive for her and Gu Lanzi undoubtedly became the best and only choice.

“Wife, that’s not right of you.

With Director Gu’s status, she must have a personal driver.

How could I overstep my place?

I happen to have things to do later.

You can take Director Gu’s car, and I’ll take yours.”

Although driving for Mu Shanshan, his boss wife, and Gu Lanzi, the de facto deputy leader—two stunning beauties—would be a nice gig.

However, having already spent not a short amount of time with the two ladies and yet failing to gain any favor, Lin Fei obviously preferred to hurry back to the Mu Group to find Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, those two beautiful department heads, and enjoy an office romance.

Lin Fei’s thoughts were sound.

With Gu Lanzi’s status, she naturally had personal drivers, and more than one at that.

Yet, Gu Lanzi clearly preferred to have Lin Fei, who had taken quite a few liberties with her, serve as her driver.

“What bad timing.

It seems we really must trouble Mr.

Lin to drive for us today.

I gave both of my drivers the day off.

If we ask them to come now, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait a long time.”

The driver issue was minor; having the rare opportunity to spend time with Lin Fei, Gu Lanzi obviously didn’t want him out of her sight too soon.

“Director Gu, please get in the car.”

Mu Shanshan, who had long decided to rope Lin Fei into being her inexpensive husband and driver, never took Lin Fei’s refusal seriously.

Even after being married to Lin Fei for quite some time, how could Mu Shanshan not be aware of her inexpensive husband’s true nature?

Whenever Lin Fei said he was busy with matters, to Mu Shanshan, it almost certainly meant sneaking off to fool around with other women.

Under such circumstances, not even Gu Lanzi, the influential deputy leader speaking up to keep Lin Fei around, could change the fact.

Even if Gu Lanzi’s two personal drivers were by her side, Mu Shanshan, the Iceberg CEO, would most likely find another excuse to have Lin Fei act as their driver.

Imagine, President Mu striving painstakingly to secure the full amount of the key enterprise support fund to propel the high-speed development of Mu Group.

Yet, her inexpensive husband Lin Fei only thinks about driving her car to mess around with other women.

If Lin Fei got his way, then she would no longer be the Iceberg CEO, Mu Shanshan.

…

“President Mu, you really gave me quite a surprise.

I have always only valued your business operational skills.

I had never expected, President Mu, that you also possess such admirable investment insights.”

Within Mu Shanshan’s BMW, having just visited the six startups Mu Shanshan had invested in, Gu Lanzi expressed her genuine admiration for Mu Shanshan’s exceptional investment vision.

Although Gu Lanzi anticipated on leaving the restaurant that Mu Shanshan was likely going to take her to visit some companies, she certainly did not expect that Mu Shanshan would have precisely invested in six promising startups and served as a co-chairman.

When Mu Shanshan initially invested in these six startups, the cost was a mere ten-plus million.

Now, the collective shares of the six startups held by Mu Shanshan were valued at over six hundred million!

A sixty-fold return on investment was enough to demonstrate the exceptional investment talent of Mu Shanshan, the Iceberg CEO!

Just as Gu Lanzi herself had said, she had always valued Mu Shanshan’s business operational skills.

Now, Mu Shanshan’s outstanding investment talent undoubtedly gave her quite a shock.

To some extent, Gu Lanzi felt somewhat relieved that, at the time in the restaurant’s VIP private room, she did not outright reject Mu Shanshan’s request related to the key enterprise support fund.

Six hundred million, compared to the overall scale of Mu Group, was not actually considered a lot.

It didn’t even match the Meishilin that Fang Wenxi lost to Lin Fei.

However, the six hundred million return on investment, representing Mu Shanshan’s investment talent, as well as the supplementary nature of the six startups Mu Shanshan invested in to the business operated by Mu Group, implied a value that was far beyond a comparison to a ten billion-valued Meishilin.

Being the deputy leader in charge of Zhonghai’s economic work, Gu Lanzi could see and think of many things through the six startups Mu Shanshan invested in.

At the very least, at present, Mu Shanshan, the Iceberg CEO, had a presence in Gu Lanzi’s heart that was no weaker than that of Fang Family Head Fang Zhentao before his downfall.

In fact, it might even surpass it!

After all, Fang Zhentao was aging, while Mu Shanshan, the Iceberg CEO, was much younger.

Youth signifies the endless possibilities of the future.

Gu Lanzi felt it was necessary to reassess Mu Shanshan, the Iceberg CEO…
