Chapter 385 - 385 385 Resentment in the Heart

385: Chapter 385: Resentment in the Heart 385: Chapter 385: Resentment in the Heart The old man spoke his longest piece to Lin Fei, every word brimming with concern.

This made Lin Fei feel apprehensive.

Who exactly is targeting me, to the point even the old man is so wary?

“Be very careful.”

After uttering the final words, the old man hung up the phone.

Lin Fei gave the mobile phone back to Mu Shanshan and returned to his own bedroom with heavy concerns.

…

The next day.

The usually fearless and unyielding Lin Fei had cast aside the worries of the previous night into the back of his mind.

After having breakfast with Mu Shanshan, the two headed to the hotel as usual.

Mu Shanshan arrived at her office, where her assistant informed her that Yu Wenjie, the president of Jiangdong Commercial Bank, wished to discuss business with her in half an hour.

In fact, Mu Shanshan had already reached out to Yu Wenjie the day before, but Yu Wenjie hadn’t been able to make the time.

Mu Shanshan’s primary goal was to negotiate compensation details with Yu Wenjie.

After all, her kidnapping had occurred at her own hotel, and beyond that, Mu Shanshan also wanted to see if it was possible to have Yu Wenjie speak out for the Hyatt Hotel, which could minimize the negative impact of the kidnapping incident, and perhaps even turn misfortune into a blessing.

Upon hearing this news, Mu Shanshan immediately dropped her work in preparation to receive Yu Wenjie.

Half an hour later, in Mu Shanshan’s office.

Mu Shanshan began the negotiation with Yu Wenjie.

“I will have my assistant send you the detailed report regarding your compensation later.

We deeply apologize for such an incident, and if you have any comments or concerns, please feel free to mention them.”

“I’m glad your hotel has taken such an attitude.

Let’s drop the compensation matter.

After all, such an incident is not something your hotel would wish for, and besides, you handled the aftermath well.

I returned safely, didn’t I?”

Mu Shanshan was curious; if Yu Wenjie didn’t want compensation, then what was she here to discuss?

There were seldom any business dealings between the Hyatt International Hotel and Jiangdong Commercial Bank.

“I made time tomorrow just to let President Mu know that if your hotel is holding a press conference tomorrow, I’d be willing to say a few words.”

This statement took Mu Shanshan by surprise, but her business instincts told her it couldn’t be that simple.

Containing her emotion, Mu Shanshan didn’t beat around the bush and asked directly.

“Such support would certainly be an honor for us, but may I know if President Yu has any other requirements?”

Yu Wenjie smiled slightly, “I would like to ask President Mu for a person.”

As soon as she said this, Mu Shanshan guessed Yu Wenjie was referring to Lin Fei, and she wasn’t pleased.

Shen Lexuan and Lin Fei’s office affair had already irked Mu Shanshan quite a bit.

Now, out of nowhere, Yu Wenjie, who didn’t seem to have any connection, was coming in to stir the pot.

Mu Shanshan feigned ignorance, furrowing her brow, “Who might President Yu be asking for?”

“Your security supervisor, Lin Fei.”

“Lin Fei is an employee of our hotel, President Yu—you’re poaching staff from us.” Mu Shanshan sipped water nonchalantly, considering her next move.

“Exchanging a security supervisor for the reputation and goodwill of your hotel seems like a profitable deal no matter how you look at it.”

“But if I were to show such little regard for my subordinates, I’m afraid that in the future, capable people in our hotel could simply walk away.”

Entrepreneurs speak of profit, not ethics.

Yu Wenjie, who had more experience in the corporate world than Mu Shanshan, immediately sensed that the relationship between Mu Shanshan and Lin Fei was not ordinary, but she couldn’t figure out what it precisely was.

“It seems that President Mu’s relationship with this supervisor Lin is quite special.”

Caught in the act, Mu Shanshan used a sip of water to hide her momentary embarrassment, then smiled after, “President Yu might be overthinking it—I simply believe that what you’re suggesting isn’t very nice.”

“Well, I have made my position clear.

Without Lin Fei, I will not speak on behalf of your hotel.

If the hotel can bear the negative impact of the kidnapping case, then go ahead and bear it.”
