The King of Urban Mercenaries
Chapter 492 - 492 492 Wanting to work acting cute and fawning over Lin Fei

492: Chapter 492: Wanting to work, acting cute and fawning over Lin Fei 492: Chapter 492: Wanting to work, acting cute and fawning over Lin Fei It was a little past seven in the evening, inside a decent western restaurant near the Moongaze Building, where Mu Group was located.

Meng Xue’er and her two friends, still new to the workforce, retained some of the innocence from their student days, yet they now bore a hint of the urban white-collar femininity.

Even though Lin Fei had resolved their school registration issues, they were all somewhat distracted, concerned about Ning Qi’s job situation as they faced the well-done steaks brought by the waiter.

Influenced by the three women, Ning Qi, the unemployed flight attendant, found the otherwise aromatic and appetizing western meal somewhat tasteless.

In contrast, Lin Fei’s use of knife and fork carried a wolfish haste.

“Mr.

Lin, can you at least pay a little attention to your image?!”

Already somewhat concerned and unsure of how to comfort Meng Xue’er and her friends, Ning Qi’s brows crinkled when she saw that Lin Fei’s ungraceful eating habits drew sideways glances from other patrons in the restaurant, chiding him slightly with annoyance.

“Compared to image, I care more about whether I can fill my stomach.”

Image mattered to Lin Fei on some specific occasions.

For example, when he first went abroad as a mercenary, he sometimes had to make an effort with his appearance for the missions.

Or when he returned home and accompanied Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, to certain formal gatherings.

In other times, image wasn’t something Lin Fei really cared about.

It had nothing to do with quality, but rather with Lin Fei’s own experiences.

Whether serving in Dragon Soul or heading overseas to join the ranks of the mercenaries, the environments Lin Fei often found himself in scarcely allowed for etiquette in dining.

There were many times when he didn’t even have time to eat.

Consuming the maximum amount of food in the shortest time possible to maintain strength and mobility was one of the survival skills a qualified mercenary had to master.

In short, wolfing down his food was a habit born of necessity!

Comparatively speaking, Lin Fei’s current table manners, even now, were far more elegant than during his time as a mercenary abroad.

Of course, this wasn’t something Lin Fei was going to waste his breath explaining to Ning Qi.

It wasn’t so much that he was too lazy to speak as it was that even if he did, Ning Qi was unlikely to believe him.

“Big Brother Lin, don’t you care at all about Sister Ning’s job situation?”

“That’s right, Big Brother Lin.

Sister Ning is always so good to us.

Could you think of a solution?

After all, you’re a high-level executive at our company—”

Ye Wenwen, who had been agreeing with Gu Xiaolei, suddenly stopped mid-sentence, realizing something.

Not just Ye Wenwen, but Gu Xiaolei and even Meng Xue’er, who was typically gentle and demure like a delicate houseplant, also came to a sudden realization.

Bang!

Realizing Lin Fei’s status as a top executive at Mu Group and the company’s dominant figure, Gu Xiaolei slammed her hand on the table, “I knew it, Big Brother Lin, you’re such a good person, how could you not care about Sister Ning at all?

Ah, I’m really so stupid.

Xiaolei, luckily you’re smart.”

Facing Gu Xiaolei’s “smart” compliment, Ye Wenwen alternated between laughter and tears, shaking her head repeatedly, “I, I just happened to think of it too.

This time, we were the ones who were foolish, and we wrongly blamed Big Brother Lin.”

With that, Ye Wenwen’s eyes, filled with apologetic sincerity, turned towards Lin Fei, “Big Brother Lin, I’m really sorry, please don’t be mad at us.”

“Exactly, Big Brother Lin, I’m sorry, we misunderstood you.

You can’t just ignore Sister Ning’s problem because we were foolish.”

Ye Wenwen had just spoken when Gu Xiaolei refused to be outdone, coquettishly making herself cute for Lin Fei.

As for Meng Xue’er, who was typically gentle and downright like a delicate jade, although she didn’t act like Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen in playfully apologizing to Lin Fei,

the look she gave Lin Fei, brimming with enough softness to melt hearts, said it all.

“Have you all taken the wrong medicine, or are your brains twitching?!”

Unlike Meng Xue’er, Gu Xiaolei, and Ye Wenwen, who realized Lin Fei’s status within Mu Group, Ning Qi, still somewhat dissatisfied with Lin Fei for only caring about eating and not her personal affairs,

saw her once allies, Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, coquettishly apologizing to Lin Fei.

Ning Qi couldn’t help feeling a little irked, not understanding why.

“Ning Sister, if you talk like that, you’re really going to hurt our feelings.

Oh, and by the way, we all misunderstood Big Brother Lin.

If you, Ning Sister, want to successfully interview for the job of flight attendant at the helicopter rental company started by President Mu, I advise you to quickly start currying favor with Big Brother Lin.”

“Xiaolei is right, if you, Ning Sister, don’t want to stay unemployed at home anymore.

You really should, right away, start acting sweet and cute towards Big Brother Lin.”

Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, who were aware of Lin Fei’s status in Mu Group, were actually giving Ning Qi a friendly reminder.

Yet, Ning Qi, unaware of this fact, clearly wasn’t prepared to take their advice.

After Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen spoke, Ning Qi, visibly aggravated, rolled her eyes at them, “Sucking up to him?!

Have you both lost your minds?!”

Even though Ning Qi, the unemployed flight attendant, had rolled in the sheets with Lin Fei a couple of times.

But getting intimate like that didn’t mean they had a true connection.

With Ning Qi’s temperament, acting sweet and cute to Lin Fei was more agonizing than simply joining him in bed.

Seeing Ning Qi seem displeased, Gu Xiaolei’s eyes danced with mirth, and she let out a soft chuckle, “Ning Sister, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

You do know that Big Brother Lin is a high-level executive at our company, right?”

“Since when does someone from security count as a high-level executive?!”

Although Ning Qi, unlike Meng Xue’er, did not work at Mu Group, she had known Lin Fei for more than a day or two.

She was somewhat aware of his role as the deputy director of Mu Group’s Security Department.

It’s just that she never really took his deputy director status seriously.

“Cough cough, Ning Sister, there’s something you don’t know.

In addition to being our company’s deputy director of the Security Department, Lin Fei is also a favorite in front of President Mu.”

As Gu Xiaolei’s playful, chuckled words settled, Ning Qi, who had previously been indifferent to Lin Fei’s role as deputy director of Mu Group’s Security Department, was taken aback.

Although Ning Qi, the unemployed flight attendant, was not an employee of Mu Group, she was somewhat familiar with Mu Shanshan, the well-known business goddess of Zhonghai.

There were things she couldn’t be sure about, but at least the fact that Mu Shanshan, the icy president, was leading the establishment of the helicopter rental company was clear to Ning Qi.

Ning Qi was initially lacking the confidence to apply for the position of flight attendant at the helicopter rental company that Mu Shanshan was planning to establish because she had been fired from the airline.

Suddenly hearing from Gu Xiaolei that Lin Fei was now in favor with Mu Shanshan,

that was indeed great news to Ning Qi, who didn’t want to remain unemployed at home and was reluctant to take on any other job…
