Chapter 690: Chapter 692: The Divine Turnaround of the Goddess Mu
“Objections overruled; the meeting continues!”
The iceberg CEO, Mu Shanshan, had no intention of acknowledging the protest launched by her nominal husband, Lin Fei.
In her hands, Mu Group had seen its performance increase several-fold in just two years. Mu Shanshan’s business acumen and work capacity were evident.
Considering this, the woman had specifically requested Lin Fei’s attendance at today’s meeting. She was well aware that he was clueless about the meeting’s content.
As for why no one had bothered to inform Lin Fei about the meeting,
it was simply because it wasn’t necessary.
After all, they had been living together for some time now. Mu Shanshan knew all too well that Lin Fei had never taken his work at the company seriously.
Therefore, there was no need to inform him about the meeting’s content.
“This time I have summoned you all to select the team leader for the upcoming mission to New Star Forest. I assume you have all considered this before coming. Now, you may speak your minds. Whether you nominate yourselves or recommend someone else, as long as you present compelling reasons, I will support you.”
Although she had not responded to Lin Fei’s objection, considering their marital relationship, Mu Shanshan did give him a brief overview of the meeting’s main focus.
“Just a reminder, since we are looking to tap into a new market, the selection of our leader for the New Star Forest project shouldn’t be based solely on past performance or experience. I have conscientiously considered those present today, which is why you were notified by the secretary’s office to attend. You can see it as having already passed an initial screening. In short, anyone sitting in this meeting room today could potentially be the chosen leader for New Star Forest. So, I hope you won’t have any other considerations. Whoever you are, if you believe you can contribute to our international market expansion, step forward, and you may be selected.”
After Mu Shanshan finished speaking, several executives who had contemplated speaking sat in surprise, momentarily hesitating.
As Mu Shanshan herself had pointed out, those high-level executives present were undoubtedly Mu Group’s hard workers—Lin Fei, of course, was the exception.
But that was not the key point—the key was that the executives understood Mu Shanshan’s temperament well.
That’s why they were surprised by her seemingly superfluous “reminder.”
In the past, Mu Shanshan was extremely terse in similar high-level meetings. Today’s preemptive “reminder” before discussions had even begun was unprecedented!
As a result, several executives who were ready to self-nominate or nominate someone else were now reluctant to speak.
After all, today’s session was intended for discussion, but the final decision still lay in Mu Shanshan’s hands.
No matter how intense the debates among everyone, it would all be in vain if Mu Shanshan did not approve.
Thus, the large conference room fell into an unusual silence.
This uncommon silence made the atmosphere in the meeting room somewhat awkward.
Fortunately, Ling Weiwei, the beautiful minister, stood up at the right moment and prevented the meeting from stalling.
“Director Mu, our mission to New Star Forest is to successfully break into the international market. For this purpose, Director Shen is undeniably the most suitable candidate to lead the team. Firstly, Director Shen is the head of the marketing department and with her position and status, is undoubtedly capable of undertaking this important task for the international market. Secondly, Director Shen is an exceptional marketing talent. Therefore, I propose we appoint Director Shen as the lead for the New Star Forest project.”
“The opening of international markets indeed cannot do without Director Shen,” Mu Shanshan replied after Ling Weiwei finished her speech, her beautiful eyes fixated on Shen Peini, “Director Shen, are you willing to join the team to New Star Forest and contribute to our market expansion?”
“If I can join the team to New Star Forest and contribute to opening international markets, I would be honoured,” Shen Peini replied. Although the role was not as initially expected—leading the team, but instead joining it—Shen Peini, who had several years of experience in the corporate world, naturally wouldn’t contradict Mu Shanshan at such a meeting.
“Very well, Director Shen, please handle your current tasks and be ready to join the mission,” Mu Shanshan said after hearing the response from the stunning beauty Shen Peini.
Then, Mu Shanshan surveyed the whole conference room with a cold voice, “The meeting continues, if there is anyone else who wishes to lead the team to New Star Forest, feel free to speak now.”
After Mu Shanshan’s speech, the executives who originally had intentions of competing with the stunning beauty Shen Peini for the leadership post wisely chose to remain silent.
Evidently, when even someone like Shen Peini, who was responsible for an entire department, could only join the team, it was clear to the other executives that Mu Shanshan might already have someone in mind for the leader’s position.
Naturally, no one felt it appropriate to stand out at this point and self-promote or nominate someone else.
“Since no one is speaking, I will nominate someone,” Mu Shanshan declared and her eyes rested on Lin Fei.
Damn it, she’s not thinking of having me lead the team, is she? Lin Fei’s heart raced, remembering how Mu Shanshan had specifically asked him to attend today’s meeting.
Not just Lin Fei, but the rest of the executives in the conference room, including the beautiful ministers Shen Peini and Ling Weiwei, were shocked and turned their gaze towards him.
Suddenly, Lin Fei, who had been intentionally ignored by everyone, became the center of attention in the entire meeting room.
And while Lin Fei’s heart continued to pound, the assembly of Mu Group executives, all staring in surprise, anticipated Mu Shanshan’s next words.
Mu Shanshan then withdrew her gaze from Lin Fei and declared coldly, “This time, the mission to open international markets in New Star Forest will be led by me personally.”
