490: Chapter 490: The Flight Attendant Position at Mu Group (Part 1) 490: Chapter 490: The Flight Attendant Position at Mu Group (Part 1) Just after six in the evening, inside a decent western restaurant located near the Mu Group headquarters at the Moongaze Building.

After Meng Xue’er and the two ladies finished ordering, the waiter took the menus and left.

Thinking about what Gu Xiaolei had said regarding Ning Qi’s unemployment, Lin Fei’s gaze sharpened as he looked at the unemployed flight attendant Ning Qi, with whom he shared some complicated feelings of attraction.

“How did you end up unemployed just like that?

Ran into some trouble, or is it that— you’re hoping I’ll take care of you?”

“Cough cough—”

Before the unemployed flight attendant Ning Qi could begin her acceptance speech, it was Gu Xiaolei, who had just taken a sip of coffee, that choked on Lin Fei’s words about “taking care” of someone.

It wasn’t just Gu Xiaolei who was taken aback; even Ye Wenwen and the typically quiet and well-behaved Meng Xue’er, who usually seemed as gentle as a jade, were visibly shaken by Lin Fei’s remark about “taking care.”

In reality, this was because Meng Xue’er and the other two ladies were somewhat familiar with Lin Fei’s personality.

They could tell that Lin Fei’s mention of “taking care” was most likely him joking with Ning Qi.

If this wasn’t the case, even if they had just received a significant favor from Lin Fei, Meng Xue’er and the others would probably have still felt the urge to speak up and defend Ning Qi, who had just lost her job, against any perceived injustice.

“Take care of me?

You— dare to?”

Unlike the astonishment of Meng Xue’er and the others, Ning Qi, who had already rolled in the sheets with Lin Fei several times, didn’t show too much embarrassment at his “taking care” comment.

Instead, she retorted with a challenging look in her eyes.

Lin Fei, never one to shy away from a challenge, uncharacteristically fell silent in response to Ning Qi’s daring comeback.

It wasn’t that Lin Fei lacked the courage; it was simply that in front of Meng Xue’er and the others, silence was his only option.

After all, he had been intimate with Ning Qi on multiple occasions.

He believed he understood Ning Qi’s temperament quite well.

Her seemingly innocent retort actually carried an undertone of determination that was difficult to detect.

Lin Fei knew very well that Ning Qi was probably not joking with him.

If Lin Fei dared to agree at this moment, it was quite possible that Ning Qi would really decide to stick with him for good.

If Lin Fei was a heartless man, then agreeing to take care of her would simply mean spending some money, at most.

True, Lin Fei didn’t have much cash on hand.

However, he was the soul of the Hell’s Judgement Organization and had a wife like Mu Shanshan with her formidable financial resources.

Taking care of Ning Qi was within Lin Fei’s means.

Regrettably, Lin Fei wasn’t heartless, and Ning Qi was far from a gold digger in love with vanity and wealth.

A retort that seemed like a challenge was, to a certain extent, Ning Qi entrusting her life to him.

Under such circumstances, and in front of Meng Xue’er and the other women, how could Lin Fei dare to agree?

In this situation, nodding or shaking his head would be inappropriate.

The only somewhat decent response was to remain silent.

“Sister Ning, it’s not your fault anyway, and it’s all in the past now.

It’s okay to tell Brother Lin about it,” said Gu Xiaolei, who was new to the job market but sharp enough to sense the unusual tension between Ning Qi and Lin Fei.

She timely stepped in to smooth things over.

“Brother Lin, it’s actually quite simple.

Sister Ning was almost harassed by a jerk passenger on the plane.

She couldn’t swallow the insult and gave that person a piece of her mind.

As a result, that person complained about her, even threatening to lodge a complaint against the airline she worked for.

Then, to avoid the complaint, the airline just fired Sister Ning.”

“That jerk who wanted to harass Sister Ning is truly despicable.

I hope I never run into him because I would definitely give him a good punch or two,” Ye Wenwen said with a furious expression, raising her fists as if ready to stand up for Ning Qi.

Not only was Ye Wenwen visibly upset, but even the typically gentle and well-behaved Meng Xue’er, who was the embodiment of the delicate beauty of a traditional Chinese woman, had a look of dissatisfaction on her fair, melon-seed shaped face.

“Have you thought about what you’re going to do next?

If you don’t want to continue being a flight attendant, maybe I can help introduce you to our company.”

Lin Fei, who understood the reasons behind Ning Qi’s unemployment, fell silent for several seconds before speaking softly, considering bringing Ning Qi into the Mu Group.

It wasn’t that Lin Fei lacked compassion or didn’t want to stand up for Ning Qi, with whom he had a complicated relationship, and help the unemployed flight attendant seek retribution.

The truth was, if Lin Fei had been present at the time of the incident, he would naturally have many ways to vent his anger and defend Ning Qi.

However, several days had passed since the event.

Even if Lin Fei wanted to advocate for Ning Qi, it would be quite difficult to find the despicable passenger responsible for her harassment and subsequent dismissal by the airline company.

After all, airlines wouldn’t readily disclose passenger information to outsiders.

As for the airline company, since they had already dismissed Ning Qi, even if Lin Fei were willing to exert great pressure to force the airline to apologize to Ning Qi,

given Ning Qi’s personality, she was unlikely to return to her job at the airline.

Every industry has its unspoken rules and difficulties, and Ning Qi’s experience was a relatively common occurrence within the flight attendant profession.

If Lin Fei expended great effort to get Ning Qi rehired at her former airline, there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t encounter the same issues again.

Lin Fei had no intention of undertaking such a thankless task.

Therefore, Lin Fei thought of bringing Ning Qi into Mu Group.

Under his watchful eye, if Ning Qi were still harassed, Lin Fei would indeed have no face left and might as well knock himself out with a block of tofu.

“Ning sister, our company offers excellent benefits.

Besides, if you work with us, you definitely won’t be harassed by anyone.”

“Yes, Ning sister, why don’t you join our company?

Considering you and Xue’er live together, you two could commute to and from work together every day—wouldn’t that be perfect?”

Initially, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen were filled with indignation against the passenger who caused Ning Qi to lose her job.

But upon hearing that Lin Fei wanted to bring Ning Qi into the Mu Group, the two women quickly changed the subject and began trying to persuade Ning Qi to join.

“I’d rather not.

My major in college was airline service, and I don’t know how to do anything else.

Even if I joined your company, I wouldn’t last long.”

Hearing Ning Qi’s gentle refusal, Lin Fei, Gu Xiaolei, and Ye Wenwen fell into silence at the same time.

Given his and Mu Shanshan’s marital relationship, hiring Ning Qi into the Mu Group would just be a matter of a few words.

The problem was that Ning Qi’s field of study didn’t match up.

Just as Ning Qi herself said, even if Lin Fei brought her into the Mu Group, she probably wouldn’t last long.

Thus, Lin Fei found himself in a bit of a predicament.

After all, the reach of Hell’s Judgement Organization didn’t extend into the country, and Lin Fei didn’t have acquaintances among the upper echelons of any airlines abroad.

While Lin Fei, Gu Xiaolei, and Ye Wenwen were silently contemplating, Meng Xue’er, who had been quiet since entering the restaurant, spoke up with a hint of hesitation, “Actually, if Ning sister you still want to be a flight attendant, our company has relevant positions available too.”

After Meng Xue’er had spoken, Lin Fei, Gu Xiaolei, and Ye Wenwen were all momentarily stunned.

Despite being colleagues in the same company, none of them could immediately recall any positions at Mu Group corresponding to the role of a flight attendant…
