Chapter 667: Chapter 669: Lin Fei Sends Flowers, Cash on Delivery (Part 1)

Monday.

Morning.

At the Mu Group’s location.

Moongaze Building.

First floor lobby.

Meng Xue’er, this pure and lucid girl, under the persistent invitation of another receptionist, had no choice but to make a bet about whether Lin Fei would come to work at the company today.

“Xue’er, just get ready to treat me to coffee. Don’t just look, even if you have a good relationship with Vice Minister Lin. But, from what I know of him, if it’s past ten and he hasn’t come to the office, then the likelihood of our Vice Minister Lin coming to work today is basically zero.”

After making the bet with Meng Xue’er, this pure and lucid front desk girl, about whether Lin Fei would return to work today, the other receptionist couldn’t help but speak out with a triumphant smile.

“I, I believe that Brother Lin will definitely, definitely come to work at the company.”

Though she said this, due to Lin Fei’s work attitude of being inconsistent like ‘fishing for three days and drying nets for two,’ Meng Xue’er seemed to be giving herself a pep talk, but it sounded half-hearted no matter how one listened.

Just as Meng Xue’er was encouraging herself, a young man dressed like a courier, carrying a large bouquet of roses, quickly strode toward the reception desk.

“Hello, I have fresh flowers for your company’s President Mu. Please help—”

“Sorry, our President Mu has instructed us to refuse all flowers, regardless of who sends them.”

The other receptionist at the desk with Meng Xue’er, cut off the young man before he could finish speaking and gestured with her hand for him to leave.

From the skilled response in both speech and action of the receptionist, it was evident that this was not the first time they had encountered such a situation.

And indeed, that was the case.

With Mu Shanshan being an ice queen president, known for her terrifying business acumen and wealth, as well as her mesmerizing beauty that eclipsed all others, it was obvious that she would not lack suitors who felt successful in their own right.

And with many suitors, there were definitely no shortages of flower deliveries.

However, due to her nature, even before she married Lin Fei—and even traceable back to when Mu Shanshan first took control of Mu Group—

she had issued a strict order to the reception desk. She was to refuse all flowers or other items meant to express affection, no matter who sent them!

As a result, the receptionists had become accustomed to rejecting one after another courier intent on delivering flowers to Mu Shanshan, the ice queen president, or the self-assertive successful individuals who came personally.

This time, however, was destined to be an exception.

“I know that your President Mu does not accept flowers, and I’ve been refused by you before. But this time, the person sending flowers to your President Mu is not an outsider, it’s someone from within your company.”

Upon hearing this from the young man dressed as a courier who was holding a large bouquet of roses, that the person intent on sending flowers to the ice queen president was an employee of the Mu Group itself.

The receptionist, working with Meng Xue’er, couldn’t help but express surprise. She exchanged a glance with Meng Xue’er, this pure and lucid girl, and asked the young man, “Someone from within our company? Who? Male or female?!”

“Male. He said he’s the Deputy Head of the Security Department, called, what’s his name?”

“Lin Fei?!”

“Yes, yes, yes. It’s him.”

The young man dressed as a courier, who had found Lin Fei’s name amidst the roses, nodded at Meng Xue’er and the other lady in timely agreement.

“How could that be?!”

The receptionist who was working the same shift as Meng Xue’er, innocent and transparent to the bone, heard the flower-delivering courier agree and couldn’t believe that Lin Fei would send flowers to Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO.

She, who was not aware of the marital relationship between Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, was inevitably shocked!

“Xue’er, do you think Vice Minister Lin has gone mad?! Could he possibly want to—No way! Vice Minister Lin is married!”

“I, I’ll call and ask, ask Lin Big Brother.”

Meng Xue’er, with her innocent and transparent nature, was evidently also taken aback by the news of Lin Fei’s intent to send roses to Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO.

However, thankfully, after several months of working at the front desk, the girl’s psychological strength had improved significantly since she first met Lin Fei.

After the initial shock, Meng Xue’er quickly regained her composure. Slightly flustered, the girl pulled out her phone and called Lin Fei.

“What’s wrong, little Xue’er? Calling me so early, don’t tell me it’s because you didn’t see me at the office and missed me.”

“No, it’s not that, Lin, Lin Big Brother. It’s just that a florist said… said that you bought flowers… to send to Mu… to President Mu. I… I just wanted to ask, ask Lin Big Brother if… if you really, really did buy flowers?”

For some reason, Meng Xue’er, who normally spoke fluently, stuttered a lot more than usual today. Moreover, in the girl’s eyes, clear as mountain streams, a tense nervousness flickered.

It wasn’t the usual tension felt when facing trouble or meeting strangers. It was a different kind of tension, tinged with worry and inexplicable sentiment.

It was nervousness, yet it seemed to carry an undercurrent of concern.

“I didn’t buy flowers.”

Hearing Lin Fei respond in such a way, the tension and concern in Meng Xue’er’s eyes quickly eased.

The girl was about to respond to Lin Fei when his voice came through the phone again, “I don’t have any money on me, so I chose cash on delivery. Since you called, Xue’er, just take the flowers up to Shan— to President Mu for me. As for the cost of the flowers, have her deduct it from my salary. Never mind, I also wrote this on the card. You just need to bring the flowers up to her, that’s all. Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’m going to hang up now. Next time, when I have the chance, I’ll send Xue’er a bouquet of flowers too.”

With that, Lin Fei hung up the phone.

“Xue’er, what did Vice Minister Lin say? Could it really be that he bought the flowers for President Mu?”

“Mhm.”

“That doesn’t make sense?! Vice Minister Lin is already married, why would he buy roses for President Mu?!”

“I, I’m not sure either.”

Meng Xue’er, who was equally bewildered about Lin Fei’s intentions behind buying flowers for Mu Shanshan, the icy CEO, shook her head continuously…
