Lin Fei was feeling a bit depressed and frustrated.
Originally, he, as Lin the Great, came up here just to see Gu Xiaolei and Ye Wenwen to boost their morale and make a strong statement, so no one would dare to bully them.
However, no matter how imaginative Lin the Great was, he never expected that Shen Peini would find out about his upcoming business trip to Ningzhou with Ling Weiwei.
Lin the Great had thought that only he, Mu Shanshan, and Ling Weiwei knew about this matter.
Caught off-guard by the revelation, Lin the Great had no choice but to face it head-on.
“Peini, I just received the notice about this myself.
How did you find out?”
“Does it really matter how I found out?”
“It’s not that important, but I must defend myself.
I can guarantee with my honor that I had absolutely no prior knowledge of this—”
“After knowing you for so long, I really don’t think there’s much about your honor that I can trust.”
“Believe it or not, I must say it.
I truly had no prior knowledge of this.”
“So, little brother, you were forced into this situation.
If that’s the case, let’s go to President Mu and ask her to send someone else.
Not for the monk’s sake but for Buddha’s, I believe President Mu will give me some face for the sake of my aunt.”
My matters shouldn’t make you, Peini, plead on my behalf.
Peini, no more words are needed.
I have figured it out; to prove to you that I am a capable man, I think it’s time to make a career for myself.
As your man, even if I know the journey is fraught with danger and certain death awaits, I accept it!”
“I don’t need you to prove anything to me; I just need you to stay by my side.”
“I just want you to stay by my side and protect me.”
“I can assure you that even if I’m temporarily away from your side, I won’t let you get hurt.”
“You not being by my side makes me uneasy.”
Although she didn’t get any definitive answer from Lin Fei about giving up the trip with Ling Weiwei, her objective was achieved—thus, she smiled.
Being mature and wise, she knew how to manage her love.
“Peini, I wanted to discuss something with you,” Lin Fei said softly after a moment, lowering his head to gaze at Shen Peini leaning on him.
“What, did your conscience strike, and now you plan to take your sister to Ningzhou?”
“You’re thinking too much.”
Lin Fei was sweating profusely; this beauty manager, Ling Weiwei, had gone to Mu Shanshan to report, intending to drag him along to Ningzhou on a business trip.
The primary aim was clearly to spend some time alone with Lin the Great.
Last time, during an interdepartmental fellowship between the Security Department and General Affairs Department, Shen Peini attended, and Ling Weiwei didn’t spare Lin the Great any disdainful glances.
Had it not been for the ice-mountain president, Mu Shanshan, Ling Weiwei probably wouldn’t have let him go so easily.
Because of the rivalry between Ling Weiwei and Shen Peini, Lin the Great had suffered a lot being caught in the middle.
Taking Shen Peini on the business trip would definitely be inviting trouble for himself.
“Peini, did your Marketing Department recently get two new interns?” Even while holding Shen Peini , Lin the Great hadn’t entirely forgotten his initial purpose of visiting the Marketing Department.
“It can’t be helped, Peini, you know, a guy as obviously handsome as I am always attracts some younger girls.”
“I’ve always thought that the most handsome thing about you isn’t your appearance, but your responsibility toward those around you.”
“And you haven’t been undressed by you before.”
“I’ve been quite busy recently with lots of work; I need two assistants.”
“So, you came here to poach people?”
“Poaching is just a side thing; my main reason was to see you.”
“Since you’re so eloquent, little brother, I agree, as long as they don’t have any objections.
But we’ll have to wait till their internships are over.”
“Of course, but, sister here has one condition.”
“Are you sure it’s just this one condition?!”
