Chapter 94 - 94 94 Sleeping in Ling Weiwei's Office

94: Chapter 94 Sleeping in Ling Weiwei’s Office 94: Chapter 94 Sleeping in Ling Weiwei’s Office Lin Fei left the underground parking garage with an exceptionally heavy heart and walked into the office area of the General Affairs Department.

According to usual practice, Lin Fei would have loudly teased the women in the General Affairs Department to announce his arrival.

However, today, Lin Fei was uncharacteristically silent.

Every time he thought about the last sentence Mu Shanshan said in the underground parking lot, Lin Fei felt the urge to slap himself.

Lin Fei had thought that taking advantage of Mu Shanshan’s sleep to leave the villa and meet with Xue Mei would surely go unnoticed.

Alas, there’s always something overlooked.

The Purple Garden Pavilion was certainly not close to Rose Manor, and it was Lin Fei’s luck to have driven Mu Shanshan’s BMW there, and he had even forgotten to refuel.

Being caught by Mu Shanshan in a tryst with another woman, even Lin Fei’s thick skin couldn’t prevent a waver of trepidation in his heart.

Of course, at the same time, Lin Fei also reminded himself internally that next time he did something like this, he must remember to refuel.

If Mu Shanshan knew that was how Lin Fei was thinking, she would likely rush down from the CEO’s office at the first opportunity and use all possible means to leave some indelibly deep impressions on Lin Fei’s body and mind.

Did Mu, the CEO, perceive this matter and hint obscurely to remind Lin Fei to take care to eliminate evidence the next time he did such a thing?

That would be utterly contrary to her original intentions.

Mu Shanshan mentioned that to Lin Fei precisely to remind him not to do such things in the future.

She hadn’t been straightforward about it entirely for the sake of preserving Lin Fei’s pride.

In charge of the vast Mu Group, adept at managing and measuring her influence, how could Mu Shanshan not understand the way to control people?

The key issue was that Lin Fei didn’t understand, and how could he know that Mu Shanshan had long treated him as a somewhat special business project to tackle.

Lin Fei’s understanding of Mu Shanshan was still stuck in the time when he had just moved into the Purple Garden Pavilion; he thought that Mu Shanshan’s hint was a reminder for him to be mindful next time.

After doing something bad, remember to erase the traces, so as not to obstruct the sight of CEO Mu.

Such a misunderstanding couldn’t be entirely blamed on Lin Fei alone.

It was mainly because CEO Mu had been too cold in her marital relationship.

Lin Fei even thought that Mu Shanshan didn’t care at all about his private life.

It was with this attitude that Lin Fei quickly adjusted his mood and headed towards Ling Weiwei’s office.

When he reached the door, Lin Fei was courteous enough to knock.

“Come in.”

Upon receiving Ling Weiwei’s permission, Lin Fei then pushed the door open and entered.

With her white high-collared shirt sleeves rolled up, Ling Weiwei was reviewing documents with her head slightly bowed.

After waiting for some time without hearing anyone speak, Ling Weiwei subconsciously lifted her head a little, and when she saw that the visitor was Lin Fei, her beautiful eyes were filled with surprise, as if she had seen something inconceivable.

“Minister Ling, what’s with that look?

Don’t tell me I’ve become more handsome.”

Feeling Ling Weiwei’s astonished and perplexed gaze, Lin Fei couldn’t help but touch his face, wondering if he should find a mirror to look into.

“You wish,” Ling Weiwei said with irritation, giving the self-absorbed Lin Fei a white glance, while also unable to suppress her surprise, “Was it you knocking just now?”

“Is there a third person in this room?”

Lin Fei retorted to Ling Weiwei, while scanning around the room, focusing on the inner rest area.

“No.

I’m just curious, since when did you become so polite?”

Ling Weiwei dissipated Lin Fei’s suspicion that there was a third person in his office and simultaneously expressed her curiosity and incomprehension of Lin Fei’s unusual behavior.

Lin Fei’s forehead creased with frustration as he felt the accusation in Ling Weiwei’s observation—that he had previously been impolite when entering offices.

“I’m even more polite in bed, Minister Ling.

Would you like to give it a try?”

“Ugh, pervert!

Have you got anything else?

If not, get out quickly, I’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Ling Weiwei’s face flushed slightly as she couldn’t help but spit out an insult and started shooing him away.

With the Mu Group undergoing personnel shake-ups, and as Mu Shanshan’s trusted General Affairs Department manager, Ling Weiwei indeed had a lot of work to do.

“I have a matter.”

Seeing Ling Weiwei’s intention to send him away, Lin Fei somewhat reined in his levity and spoke with certainty.

“Business or personal?”

“Half and half, I’d say.”

“Let’s hear it.”

Ling Weiwei could see right through Lin Fei’s little schemes.

If Lin Fei was indeed there for business, it would be a surprise.

However, she also knew that with Lin Fei’s thick-skinned nature, he wouldn’t give up until he settled whatever he was there for, and she wouldn’t be able to work in peace.

So, Ling Weiwei closed the folder and prepared to hear what Lin Fei had to say.

“I have deeply felt the instability of the company, which has troubled my heart and shown on my face.

Hence, last night I agonized over it and worked overtime until now.

Though I’m exhausted, I feel a sense of achievement.

To continue dedicating my energy to the company, I request Minister Ling grants me some temporary rest.”

After this flurry of words from Lin Fei, Ling Weiwei was wide-eyed and nearly dropped her jaw.

“Working overtime?

A sense of achievement?

Dedicate energy to the company?” Ling Weiwei couldn’t connect these concepts with Lin Fei at all.

Seeing his impassioned expression, Ling Weiwei suddenly felt the urge to be sick.

Having long been familiar with Lin Fei’s unscrupulous nature, Ling Weiwei rose to her feet and walked over to the floor-to-ceiling window, opened it, and breathed in a few gulps of fresh air to dissipate the feeling of nausea in her heart.

Then she turned around to face Lin Fei directly and said, “You can’t possibly be thinking of taking a day off to go home and sleep in, can you?”

Lin Fei had said so much, but Ling Weiwei was clear that the only thing of substance was the last sentence.

“There’s no need for that trouble; I’ll just sleep at the office.”

With one sentence, Lin Fei’s true intentions were revealed, but it also infuriated Ling Weiwei immensely.

“Lin Fei!

What do you think the company is, and tell me, since you started working here, has there been a single day when you’ve peacefully done your job?

It hasn’t even been a month since you started, and look how many times you’ve asked for leave.

Let me tell you, don’t think that just because you know people on the board, you can ignore the company’s rules and regulations.

Get back to work immediately, and be aware that I’ll be keeping a special eye on you today.

If you dare to sleep in, you won’t be able to avoid staying up all night!”

Ling Weiwei, after all, is a department head, and when she gets angry, she’s formidable.

Moreover, this woman has been with Mu Shanshan for a long time, inevitably picking up some of Mu Shanshan’s icy demeanor.

Once she lost her temper, both her presence and oppressiveness were absolutely full-on.

However, compared to Mu Shanshan’s ice queen CEO aura, Ling Weiwei was still outmatched.

Mu Shanshan couldn’t suppress Lin Fei, so it was clear Lin Fei wouldn’t be intimidated by Ling Weiwei.

“I didn’t say I was going to sleep in my room.”

Lin Fei nonchalantly picked up Ling Weiwei’s coffee pot and poured himself a cup of coffee, drinking as he spoke.

“Then where do you plan to sleep?”

Ling Weiwei crossed her arms, her lotus-like arms enveloping her chest as she queried Lin Fei in a cold voice.

“Well, Minister Ling has a bed here.”

As he spoke, Lin Fei’s gaze kept darting towards the direction of the break room.

“You—you want to sleep here?”

Ling Weiwei’s delicate mouth fell open in shock, feeling somewhat out of her depth.

During her many years on the career ladder, Ling Weiwei had never heard of a subordinate daring to visit their superior’s office during work hours and ask to use their superior’s rest room to take a nap.

An unheard-of event was happening right before her, and Ling Weiwei suddenly felt her long-prized status as a department head was both powerless and laughable.

“While I can still control my emotions, you’d better disappear from my sight immediately!”

Ling Weiwei’s tone was as cold as it could be, and her beautiful eyes were already flickering with strands of murderous intent.

Lin Fei’s unreasonable request made her feel quite the failure as a department head.

Her professional identity, which she had always prided herself on, was half-destroyed by Lin Fei with a single sentence, and the fact that Ling Weiwei could still maintain her composure and tell Lin Fei to get lost was really pushing the limits of her psychological endurance.

In broad daylight, freshly arrived at the office, he dared to brazenly request the use of her rest room.

If she were to agree to Lin Fei’s request this time, who knows what excessive demands he might make next time?

At this rate, he might end up demanding that Minister Ling share a bed with him next time, which is simply intolerable!

Does he really think that just because he saved Minister Ling’s life once, he can act lawlessly?

Ling Weiwei secretly admonished herself that giving Lin Fei an opportunity to pursue her was one thing, but she absolutely couldn’t let him develop such casual habits.

This kind of momentum must be curbed!

With this thought in mind, Ling Weiwei quickly strode ahead, positioning herself in front of the break room door, and spread her arms out, bound and determined not to let Lin Fei enter.

“Since Minister Ling doesn’t want me resting here, I’ll have to go find Supervisor Shen Peini.”

Seeing her adamant stance, Lin Fei decided to play the Shen Peini card as a threat, opting for a tactical retreat.

“Stop right there!”

The move certainly worked on Ling Weiwei; Lin Fei had not gone far before she called out to stop him.

“Do you have any instructions, Minister Ling?

If not, I’ll be off to rest up with Penny.”

Lin Fei, in a posture as if about to stride off, spoke with a tone that made Ling Weiwei gnash her teeth in irritation.

“Don’t even think about going anywhere; you can just sit on the sofa.

You don’t have to work if you don’t want to, but don’t even think about sleeping under my watch.”

Although she knew Lin Fei was deliberately provoking her, the thought of Shen Peini’s ambiguous attitude toward Lin Fei made it impossible for Ling Weiwei to let him go.

Considering Shen Peini’s flirtatious ways with Lin Fei, plus Lin Fei’s sleaziness, if he really were to get into Shen Peini’s break room, Ling Weiwei had reason to believe that something exceeding the scope of professional conduct would definitely occur between them.

Thud!

Thud!

Thud!

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Ling Weiwei gave Lin Fei a look that said, “You wait, I’ll deal with you in a moment,” and proceeded to her desk to take a seat in her office chair.

Meanwhile, Lin Fei took advantage of the moment, dashed into Ling Weiwei’s break room with the speed of lightning, and even locked the door behind him.

By the time Ling Weiwei came to her senses, Lin Fei had already kicked off his shoes and was lying on the bed in the break room.
