270: Chapter 270: The Wronged Goddess Mu 270: Chapter 270: The Wronged Goddess Mu “Are you suggesting that you want me to break company rules again and hire someone into the company?” asked Mu Shanshan, her usually beautiful face cold, in her office on the twenty-sixth floor of the Moongaze Building, headquarters of the Mu Group.
Originally, she, the president of Mu Group, had already been in a bad mood since Fang Wenxi interfered and spoiled her investment in Meishilin restaurant.
Suddenly receiving a call from her nominal husband, she had thought it was something important.
Unexpectedly, it was yet another favor for someone, exploiting her connections!
Mu Shanshan was a principled person.
She had agreed to Lin Fei’s request to exceptionally recruit Meng Xue’er the previous time only because it coincided with Mu Group’s recruitment fair, and thus she, the president, had indirectly given Lin Fei some face.
Not long after Meng Xue’er had joined the company, Lin Fei, her nominal husband, was thinking about getting her to compromise her principles to recruit someone into the company again.
And not just one person, but two!
This was only a phone call, but if Lin Fei were in her office speaking to her in person about this, Mu Shanshan would likely have already asked her secretary to send him away!
Even if Lin Fei was her husband, even if she intended to smooth things over in their marital relationship, she shouldn’t always have to compromise her principles for him.
Simply put, a husband is a husband, and the company is the company; the two should not be mixed up.
“Rules are rigid, but people are flexible.
Besides, isn’t the company ours after all?
If you really feel that it contravenes company rules, just alter the rules slightly, and it’s settled.
I assure you, this will be the last time,” he said.
Lin Fei was quite troubled when making this call to his wife, the president.
They had been married for more than half a year and had lived under the same roof for several months.
He, Lin Fei, knew very well the stubborn, somewhat overly rigid principles of his wife, the president.
However, he felt compelled to make the call.
Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen, those two girls, had gone ahead with actions that were difficult enough for him to handle, culminating in complications when Ning Qi, another woman, intervened by calling the police.
It was all too much for Lin Fei.
Of course, mostly, it was Meng Xue’er’s gentle, soft, sweet voice calling him “big brother Lin” that made it truly impossible for him to refuse her.
If Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen were men, Lin Fei obviously wouldn’t have hesitated and would have recruited them into the Security Department straight away.
However, as they were girls and obviously couldn’t be hired as security guards, Lin Fei had no choice but to call his wife, the president, for guidance.
“Lin Fei, if it were anything else, I might consider it.
But I’ve had enough with breaking company rules.
This time, I’m absolutely not going to agree, and I advise you to give up on this idea!” Mu Shanshan was firm, unaware and possibly uninterested in how troubled Lin Fei was by this call.
Of course, had Mu Shanshan known that Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen had both kissed Lin Fei, her nominal husband, the situation might have quickly escalated from nepotism to a marital cold war!
“Mu Shanshan, don’t forget, my father is the chairman of the company!” Seeing that Mu Shanshan was unyielding, Lin Fei reluctantly resorted to his last trump card.
For Lin Fei’s petty threat involving Mu Hong, President Mu clearly didn’t care.
Although, Mu Hong was still the chairman of the Mu Group.
However, the Mu Group was no longer the same as it was two years ago.
When people mentioned the Mu Group now, they thought not of Mu Hong, the founder, but of Mu Shanshan, the icy president.
It was precisely because of her control over the Mu Group that Mu Shanshan was unafraid of Lin Fei bringing up Mu Hong.
Even if Lin Fei really took this matter to Mu Hong, Mu Shanshan believed that, both morally and emotionally, her father would side with her.
“I know you’re the one in charge of the company now.
However, I think our dad would be very interested to know why, after more than half a year of marriage, your belly is still showing no signs of pregnancy.” Clearly, Lin Fei’s trump card was not as simple as seeking Mu Hong’s help through the back door.
“Lin Fei, what do you mean?!” Detecting the malice in Lin Fei’s tone, Mu Shanshan immediately retorted coldly into the phone.
I just think if our dad knows that we’ve been sleeping in separate rooms for more than half a year, he might be more inclined to help me discipline his disobedient daughter, considering his unborn grandchild.” In the company, Mr.
Lin really couldn’t do anything about Mu Shanshan, the icy president.
Lin, Mu Shanshan was not just his boss.
As his boss, Mu Shanshan was undoubtedly very competent.
As his wife, it was clear that she was not up to par.
Lin did not have the same clear-cut principles as Mu Shanshan.
Mixing work and personal life, in some cases, was indeed necessary.
Mu Shanshan’s hand, gripping the phone, turned slightly pale from too much force; her proud and full chest heaved with her intense emotions; her stunning face seemed to turn into eternal ice, covered with dense frost!
The temperature of the entire presidential office seemed to drop several degrees due to the change in Mu Shanshan’s demeanor.
One could foresee that if Lin Fei were standing in front of President Mu right then, a single icy gaze from her would be enough to freeze him to death!
Mu Shanshan was not unaware that she was not a qualified wife.
She had realized this after feeling Lin Fei’s caring and deep love.
If not for this, Mu Shanshan wouldn’t tolerate Lin Fei, her nominal husband, fooling around behind her back.
It was precisely because she understood her own shortcomings that she didn’t really take things seriously with Lin Fei.
Moreover, she wasn’t just passively aware of the issues.
Since Aunt Lan had advised her that “marriage is the biggest career for a woman,” she had gradually begun to consciously smooth things over in her marital relationship with Lin Fei.
In short, President Mu had consciously and actively begun to change herself, slowly adapting to the role of Lin Fei’s wife.
However, now Lin Fei was openly criticizing her as an unqualified wife because of two outsiders, in her view, and even planned to take the matter up with Mu Hong.
How could President Mu not be enraged!
Of course, after her fury, what lingered in President Mu’s heart was mostly a sense of grievance, a deep feeling of being misunderstood by Lin Fei, her nominal husband…
