Chapter 549 - 549 549 Deliberately Ignoring Lin Fei's Goddess Mu

549: Chapter 549 Deliberately Ignoring Lin Fei’s Goddess Mu 549: Chapter 549 Deliberately Ignoring Lin Fei’s Goddess Mu It was just after ten in the morning.

At the Mu Group headquarters, Moongaze Building.

On the first-floor lobby.

A weary Lin Fei casually walked into the lobby.

Upon spotting Meng Xue’er, the pure and innocent receptionist on duty, Lin Fei leisurely headed towards the front desk.

“Xue’er, morning.”

“Brother Lin, good morning.” As for Meng Xue’er, who emanated a pure and clear aura, this wasn’t the first time Lin Fei had greeted her in front of other colleagues.

Yet, due to her nature, the fair and delicate cheek of Meng Xue’er unavoidably blushed a shade of pink when Lin Fei took the initiative to say hello.

“Vice Minister Lin, it’s hardly morning anymore, it’s well past ten, nearly eleven.

In the entire company, only you dare to be so brazenly late.

Sometimes, we’re really curious.

What kind of ‘love potion’ have you given to President Mu?

You’ve been late so many times, sometimes you don’t even bother coming to the office.

Yet, President Mu never fires you.

If I were her, I would have fired you, Vice Minister Lin, countless times by now.” Unlike the gentle and frail Meng Xue’er, the female colleague sharing the front desk duty with her was obviously much more extroverted and bold.

She bluntly told Lin Fei that he should have been fired from the company long ago for his repeated tardiness and yet remained unperturbed and comfortably in his job.

“Lin, Brother Lin.

Don’t listen to Xin’er’s nonsense, she, she—”

“Silly Xue’er, what are you worrying about?

Everyone in our company knows that Vice Minister Lin is the least pretentious,” said the female colleague Meng Xue’er called Xin’er, interrupting Meng Xue’er’s attempt to make an excuse for her, and then the girl smiled at Lin Fei, “Vice Minister Lin, there’s no one else here anyway.

Just tell me and Xue’er, what exactly have you given to President Mu, that she never scolds you for being late?”

“Didn’t I tell you guys already?

I’m her husband.

She wouldn’t dare fire me even if she had the guts to do so,” Lin Fei quipped back with his usual response he often threw out when jesting with female staff across the various departments of Mu Group.

“Vice Minister Lin, that joke of yours isn’t funny at all.”

“Ah, these days, even the truth isn’t believed.”

“Vice Minister Lin, you can’t blame me for not believing you.

You can ask Xue’er if she believes you.”

“Ah—I, I, I don’t know,” stammered Meng Xue’er, who unexpectedly became the center of attention.

Regaining her composure, Meng Xue’er chickened out under the joint gaze of Lin Fei and her colleague named Xin’er, and lowered her head in defeat.

“See, Vice Minister Lin?

Even Xue’er, who’s so easy to fool, doesn’t believe you.

So next time, you should find a more believable excuse.

Otherwise, if one day your lame excuse reaches President Mu’s ears, you’re definitely going to be in big trouble.”

“Are you kidding?

Do I look like the type of man who’s scared of his wife?”

“In our company, who doesn’t know that Vice Minister Lin is whipped by his wife?”

“Rumors are just rumors in the end!”

“There’s a saying that’s spot-on: ‘There’s no smoke without fire, no wind without waves.'”

“You brat, seems like you don’t want to work here anymore.

Believe it or not, I’ll ask my wife to fire you!”

“President Mu won’t fire me.”

“And why are you so sure about that?”

“It’s simple, because President Mu isn’t Vice Minister Lin’s wife at all.”

Lin Fei: “…”

Unable to engage in a forceful argument on this subject with the female colleague Meng Xue’er referred to as Xin’er, Lin Fei decided to just turn around and leave.

“Xin, Xin’er, actually, actually, I do believe Brother Lin,” Meng Xue’er, who had been silent with her head down, raised her head and leaned close to her colleague named Xin’er and whispered after Lin Fei turned and walked away.

“No way, Xue’er, you can’t possibly really believe what Vice Minister Lin said, that President Mu is his wife?!”

“No, that’s not it.”

“What is it, then?”

“It’s just that, I…

I trust Brother Lin, it’s not that, not that he’s henpecked.”

Ling Fei, who had been strolling away from the reception desk, did not hear Meng Xue’er’s following expression of trust that he wasn’t henpecked.

Otherwise, Fei would have been deeply moved by Xue’er, this girl with such innocence and clarity to her bones.

Especially in the atmosphere where the entire company was abuzz with talk that he was henpecked, for Xue’er, this girl with such innocence and clarity to her bones, to give him this kind of trust.

At the very least, Fei would have to sigh that it wasn’t in vain that he had been so fond of this girl.

…

Moongaze Building, Fifth Floor.

The office of the Vice Minister of the Mu Group’s Security Department, also known as Ling Fei’s office.

“That little brat, she must have gone to the General Affairs Department again.”

Originally, Fei had planned to find Xiao Yina, his secretary, to understand what had happened in the company in the few days he had been absent.

After searching the entire office without finding Yina, and remembering that he had once allowed the girl to work in the General Affairs Department, Fei muttered to himself.

He also realized it had been several days since he had seen Ling Weiwei, the beautiful department head of General Affairs.

With that, a breeze picked up under his feet as he walked purposefully out of his office and headed for General Affairs.

Mu Group’s General Affairs Department, Moongaze Building, Twelfth Floor.

“Yina isn’t here?

Where did she go?” After exchanging smiles and greetings with a bunch of female staff in the General Affairs Department and learning that Xiao Yina was not there, Fei couldn’t help but ask with a hint of confusion.

“We’re not too sure; it seems she went to a meeting.”

Upon finding out that Yina appeared to have gone to a meeting, Fei didn’t bother to investigate further.

Meetings and such, to someone like Fei who inherently had little interest in work, were always kept at arm’s length.

“Hey, Vice Minister Lin, what are you doing?”

“I’m looking for your Manager Ling to discuss some personal matters of life.”

“Manager Ling has been called to a meeting by President Mu.”

After failing to find Ling Weiwei, the beautiful manager of General Affairs, to talk about love, Fei chatted with the female staff of General Affairs about some personal matters between men and women.

Fei then left General Affairs Department, stepping lightly as he hurried toward the Marketing Department, where Shen Peini, the enchantress, worked.

Mu Group’s Marketing Department, Moongaze Building, Seventeenth Floor.

“Are you saying that Manager Shen has also been called to a meeting?!” Lin Fei, who had searched the entire seventeenth floor and not found Shen Peini, the enchantress, couldn’t help but be puzzled after learning from Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen that Peini had also been summoned to a meeting by Mu Shanshan, the President’s wife.

Seeing that Fei seemed a bit puzzled, Gu Xiaolei leaned in closer and whispered, “Brother Lin, it’s not just Manager Shen.

It seems like all the company’s executives have been called to a meeting by President Mu.

How come you didn’t get the notification?”

Faced with Gu Xiaolei’s inquiry, Fei for the first time felt the insignificance of his position as Vice Minister of the Mu Group’s Security Department.

All the executives were called to a meeting, leaving only him, the husband, out of the loop.

Although he knew it was most likely due to his laziness in everyday work that his wife, President Mu Shanshan, had deliberately overlooked him.

But still, being deliberately ignored by his own wife truly made Fei, the husband, feel annoyed and, well, it was a real headache…
