Chapter 373 - 373 373 Joint Directors of 36 Companies

373: Chapter 373: Joint Directors of 36 Companies 373: Chapter 373: Joint Directors of 36 Companies Mu Group’s location, the Moongaze Building.

Because they had visited nine start-up companies invested in by Shanshan, by the time Lin Fei, Shanshan, and Gu Lanzi arrived at the Moongaze Building, it was already past the end of the working day.

Apart from a few security guards on duty patrolling the Moongaze Building, there was only Lin Fei and his two companions.

This was also due to Lin Fei’s skillful driving; he spent the entire afternoon visiting the start-up companies invested in by the cold CEO Shanshan, without any delay on the road.

Had it been some more cautious drivers, they probably wouldn’t have even managed to visit all nine start-up companies, let alone return to the Moongaze Building.

“Lin Fei, where are you going?”

After the cold CEO Shanshan and the influential vice director Gu Lanzi got out of the car, they saw that Lin Fei had no intention of getting out, and instead seemed about to drive off.

Shanshan, the cold CEO, immediately shouted coldly.

“You discuss your matters; I’m going to a nearby coffee shop for a cup of coffee.”

Lin Fei’s seemingly nonchalant demeanor failed to win the trust of Shanshan, his CEO wife.

Knowing her husband’s character well and that he liked to drink her coffee only when he was in her office, she was aware that he was not particularly fond of coffee at other times.

Now, her thrifty husband Lin Fei appeared leisurely and wanted to go for coffee alone.

Shanshan, the cold CEO, could easily notice something amiss.

If she let Lin Fei go off on his own, it would indeed be a strange occurrence.

“There’s coffee in my office; if you want some, go up and I’ll make it for you.”

Having said that, Shanshan, unwilling to provide Lin Fei, her thrifty husband, any other excuse to run away, directly followed the influential vice director Gu Lanzi into the building and up the stairs.

After being married for not a short time, how could Lin Fei not notice the warning and displeasure in his CEO wife Shanshan’s words?

Leaving aside whether the CEO Shanshan could make coffee or not, since the woman had said such words, Lin Fei, as a husband, would be remiss not to follow her up the stairs or he’d certainly face repercussions come fall.

Immediately, Lin Fei could only take out his phone and send a message expressing regret for being unable to meet to Shen Peini, the stunning beauty who had taken the initiative to ask him out.

Afterward, he followed his CEO wife Shanshan and the influential vice director Gu Lanzi into the elevator to go upstairs.

…

The top floor of the Moongaze Building, Mu Group’s conference room.

As Shanshan connected with one after another of the CEOs from the start-up companies she had invested in, even Lin Fei, who usually had no interest in business, couldn’t help but be shocked by his CEO wife Shanshan’s bold moves.

As for Gu Lanzi, who had been highly focused throughout, there was no additional time to be shocked.

Laymen enjoy the spectacle, while insiders watch the technique.

As the vice director in charge of the economic work of Zhonghai, Gu Lanzi usually had some attention on those domestic start-up companies with significant growth potential.

Simply put, Lin Fei was looking at the quantity, while the influential vice director Gu Lanzi was looking at the quality of the start-up companies invested in by the cold CEO Shanshan!

Quality here doesn’t just represent the growth potential and performance prospects of the start-up companies invested in by Shanshan, but more so, the return on investment for Shanshan.

After all, Gu Lanzi was more concerned with judging Shanshan’s investment talent and capital strength through the performance of the start-up companies Shanshan had invested in.

Time ticked away second by second, and the sky had long since darkened.

Yet, there was no sign of pause in Mu Shanshan’s, the “iceberg president,” presentation.

Lin Fei couldn’t remember how many start-up companies Mu Shanshan had showcased for him—no, more precisely, for Gu Lanzi, the deputy leader with actual authority.

Lin Fei only remembered that Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, had promised him downstairs to make him coffee, but the woman had not kept her word.

Watching his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, tirelessly explain to Gu Lanzi, Lin Fei was very clear in his heart that making coffee for him was probably long forgotten by the woman.

Just as Lin Fei was about to step forward and lean in towards his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, to remind her, it was Gu Lanzi, the deputy leader with actual authority, who spoke first.

“Thank you, President Mu, for showing me these start-ups that you’ve invested in.

I’ve decided that the 3.5 billion enterprise support fund will be loaned in its entirety to your company!”

Gu Lanzi’s decision stunned even Lin Fei, who wasn’t usually interested in business and wealth.

Although, from the bits and pieces he could pick up from the conversation between Mu Shanshan, his CEO wife, and Gu Lanzi, Lin Fei had somewhat understood that the start-up companies Mu Shanshan had invested in had brought her a fair amount of return on investment.

However, the decisiveness of Gu Lanzi, the deputy leader with actual authority, in making such a direct decision, was still somewhat unexpected for Lin Fei.

After all, what Gu Lanzi spoke for was an entire 3.5 billion, not just thirty-five yuan!

One sentence, 3.5 billion!

Even Lin Fei, the soul of the Hell’s Judgement Organization, couldn’t guarantee that he could act with the decisiveness and authority that Gu Lanzi, the deputy leader with actual authority, had!

Clearly, Lin Fei was not the only one shocked by Gu Lanzi; Mu Shanshan, the “iceberg president,” was also obviously taken aback.

After all, as the primary beneficiary of Gu Lanzi’s determination, she was the one truly affected.

Fortunately, her years of experience in the business world had honed Mu Shanshan into having a rather strong psychological resilience.

After initially being taken aback, Mu Shanshan quickly regained her composure.

Taking a deep breath, she spoke softly.

“Although I would also greatly appreciate the endorsement of Deputy Gu, this is, after all, a significant matter.

Do you need to go back and reconsider before making your decision?”

No CEO of a conglomerate could remain indifferent to a 3.5 billion enterprise support fund, and Mu Shanshan, who desired to propel Mu Group to rapid growth, was indeed very tempted.

But she did not lose the rationality she ought to have because of her excitement.

For she was Mu Shanshan, the “iceberg president”!

She would never forget to consider issues from the other party’s perspective, particularly when it concerned benefits for her company.

Considering the interest of others was one of the business operation rules that Mu Shanshan had set for herself and strictly followed since she took control of Mu Group!

“I cannot think of any other company head within Zhonghai who would be more suitable than President Mu to receive the 3.5 billion enterprise support fund, as a board member of thirty-six excellent start-up companies.”

The enterprise support fund was initiated by Gu Lanzi herself and the decision-making power rested in her hands.

But Mu Shanshan, the “iceberg president,” upon hearing Gu Lanzi’s endorsement, did not forget to consider her position.

Even just for that, Gu Lanzi, the deputy leader with actual authority, was resolved…
