Chapter 461 - 461 461 Mu Shanshan Falls Asleep Mu Group in Chaos

461: Chapter 461: Mu Shanshan Falls Asleep, Mu Group in Chaos 461: Chapter 461: Mu Shanshan Falls Asleep, Mu Group in Chaos Just past ten in the morning at the Mu Group’s location, the Moongaze Building.

On the twenty-sixth floor, near the office of CEO Mu Shanshan—was the Direct Secretariat of the CEO.

The ordinarily quiet and well-ordered Direct Secretariat was now in complete disarray.

Not due to a physical mess, but because all the assistants and secretaries directly under the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan, including their work and their emotions, were completely out of control!

There was but one reason: Mu Shanshan, the CEO who was known to always arrive early and never be late.

Exceptionally, more than an hour after the start of work hours, the woman had yet to arrive at the office.

She hadn’t even placed a call to any of her group of secretaries or assistants.

Mu Shanshan was undoubtedly the cornerstone of Mu Group!

Especially after the woman secured a 3.5-billion fund from the City Council for the sustainable growth enterprise and orchestrated the merger with Red Valley Group to take over Fangxing Group.

The Mu Group had basically become a one-woman show run by the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan.

Even the board of directors, in some respects, had to operate according to her wishes.

Under such circumstances, one can imagine the significance of the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan to Mu Group!

At present, Mu Group was in the crucial stages of fully integrating and merging with Fangxing Group.

Simply put, the entire Mu Group was in a state of constant busyness!

Every hour, even every minute, documents and proposals needed to pass under the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan’s eyes for approval or rejection.

It seemed that whether CEO Mu Shanshan signed or rejected a document or proposal, it might only take a few minutes, or even a few seconds of her time.

Yet, it was those few minutes or even seconds from ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan that would determine if a certain project in a department under Mu Group could proceed!

A delay of just a few minutes, or even seconds, in a decision by CEO Mu Shanshan could be a potential crisis for a Mu Group department or factory involved in her decisions.

It could even lead to the delay of a project, or a product missing its manufacturing or shipping deadline.

Now, relative to the normal work hours, the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan was already over an hour late!

CEO Mu Shanshan’s tardiness was practically equivalent to a halt in operations for some departments within Mu Group, as they integrated Fangxing Group’s business and personnel swiftly.

Without decisions from above, the work below could not be rolled out.

Currently, several departments within Mu Group were in this situation.

As a result, the entire office of the CEO’s secretariat, including the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan’s office itself, was about to have its phones ring off the hook!

“Xuanxuan, how come the boss isn’t here yet?

The sales department is getting bombarded with calls!”

“Chairman Wu from Sea Star Group personally called just now, asking us to confirm the exact time for next week’s meeting!

Oh God, without the boss, how am I supposed to reply to Chairman Wu?!”

“Secretary to Vice President Liu of the bank just called, asking about our decision on the loan.

Sister Xuan, you’re like my real sister, please tell me, what does the boss think?!”

Among those most burdened by CEO Mu Shanshan’s delay were undeniably her direct secretaries and assistants.

Without the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan’s decisions, their various tasks couldn’t get off the ground!

And as the personal assistant directly under the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan, who was also the secretary on duty today, the delicate and petite Shen Xuan—was undoubtedly having a stroke of terrible misfortune!

Not to mention her own work couldn’t proceed, just in Mu Shanshan’s presidential office alone, the constantly ringing phones and the pleas from fellow secretaries and assistants

were enough to make her head spin!

If it weren’t for her prolonged stint by Mu Shanshan, the icy president’s side, hardening her somewhat in handling unexpected situations, Shen Xuan might have already collapsed!

Although she was considered a favorite of Mu Shanshan, the icy president, even possibly the top secretary,

in the end, she was just a secretary.

She could help arrange meetings and convey instructions for Mu Shanshan, the icy president, but borrowing a hundred doses of courage, she wouldn’t dare make decisions for her.

Now, all the responsibilities were pressing down on her frail frame.

That she hadn’t been crushed on the spot was already quite an achievement.

At this moment, Shen Xuan, the secretary, couldn’t possibly handle all these numerous tasks.

Honestly, right now, Shen Xuan really wanted to cry.

But the problem was, she didn’t even have time to find a corner to cry in.

Seeing Shen Xuan silent, one of Mu Shanshan’s direct secretaries next to her poked her tenderly and whispered, “Xuanxuan, this can’t go on like this.

Why don’t we call President Mu and ask?”

Calling Mu Shanshan, the icy president, was undoubtedly the wisest decision at the moment.

But after all, they were just secretaries.

They knew well that Mu Shanshan, the icy president, had an unusually cool demeanor and had almost never been late for work before.

As a secretary, calling their own president to ask why she hadn’t come to work

required an extraordinary amount of courage,

even somewhat resembling a death wish.

“Connect me with President Ling, only Ling can save us now.”

Lacking the courage to call Mu Shanshan, the icy president, to ask why she hadn’t come to work, Shen Xuan couldn’t help but pin her hopes on Ling Weiwei, who could be considered Mu Shanshan’s closest confidante.

“I advise you not to count on President Ling anymore; she’s currently representing President Mu, hosting Chairman Su from the Red Valley Group.

President Ling herself has a mess of issues to attend to, do you think she can spare the time?”

Li Anqing, Mu Shanshan’s assistant, patted Shen Xuan’s shoulders to dissuade her from seeking help from the beautiful Minister Ling Weiwei.

Unable to seek help, they had to fend for themselves!

Pressed to the brink, Shen Xuan pondered for a couple of seconds, biting her lips tightly, “Half an hour, just wait another half hour!

If President Mu still isn’t here by then, I’ll call her!”

With Shen Xuan’s half-hour assurance, the collective secretaries and assistants slightly relaxed and plunged back into their tense workload.

…

Unlike the completely chaotic secretaries and assistants directly under the Mu Group president,

at Purple Garden Pavilion, second-floor master bedroom,

the atmosphere was quite serene and peaceful.

The much-worried-about Mu Shanshan,

curled up in Lin Fei’s embrace, slept very peacefully.

Looking at her, it seemed unlikely that she would wake up anytime soon…
