Fierce Ex-wife: President, Please Be Careful

💜Chapter 261-280💜

Chapter 261 – Taking Action

When Xia Zhetao received the call, he was finishing the mess left behind by Mu Tingfeng. Although Mu Tingfeng was not a public figure like celebrities, he frequently appeared in financial magazines.

The sudden announcement about him being wounded by a gunshot may induce the idiotic reporters to make up the stories such as a fight for power in the great family, a fight among the brothers and uncles, and other disputes of the rich family.

Therefore, he made a public statement that Mu Tingfeng had met with an accident while he was on the way to work. He did not suffer any life-threatening injuries, was admitted to the hospital, and would recover soon.

Fortunately, the mass media had a good judgment. Even though the announcement made by Mu Tingfeng's company was not the truth, they did not simply make nonsensical reports.

After all, the reporters and magazine publishers could not afford to offend Mu Tingfeng. By the time he returned in one piece and read their nonsensical reports, he might get upset, and the people would risk losing their jobs.

Moreover, apart from someone like Zhao Youxi who had nothing better to do than to exploit the situation, most people did not know how Mu Tingfeng had injured himself.

Mu Feng Group was a private corporation established by Mu Tingfeng. The backbone of the team was personally selected by him. The cohesiveness of the team was good. Even if Mu Tingfeng was absent for several days, nothing big would happen to his company.

However, humans changed as time and power did. Certain people had come up with ideas that they should not have in mind during Mu Tingfeng's temporary absence.

As such, Mighty Secretary Xia was the one who suffered. He had to deal with Mu Tingfeng's admirers and watchers who occasionally came to him to ask about Mu Tingfeng's condition. At the same time, he had to prepare the documents for Mu Tingfeng, so that he could go through them while Zhao Youlin was not around. On top of that, he still had to spend time conducting an investigation about the mastermind behind the assassination! He was worse off than a slave!

Upon hearing the sound of the ringtone, Xia Zhetao immediately took out his mobile phone. When the phone screen showed the call was from his superior, he withdrew his mournful expression that belonged to a resentful woman, and said solemnly, "Hi, President Mu. How are you? Did Mrs. Mu go over and help out?"

Right after hearing Xia Zhetao's express his concern for him, the person on the other end of the line fell silent for some time. While Xia Zhetao was thinking anxiously if he had said anything wrong, Mu Tingfeng finally spoke.

"You did a great job on whistleblowing. I'll give you a pay raise for this."

Xia Zhetao's originally sunken heart burst right after hearing Mu Tingfeng's words. The gloomy atmosphere surrounding him instantly blossomed, and turned lively and vibrating!

"P-President Mu, did you say you will give me a pay raise?!" Xia Zhetao was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears. 'He's giving me a pay raise, a pay raise!' After his salary had been deducted multiple times, he was finally getting a pay raise!

"Yes."

His brief reply had greatly motivated Xia Zhetao. Xia Zhetao said excitedly, "President Mu, please be rest assured that I'll continue to work hard, even if it costs me my life! I'll strive to move forward, even if it means moving heaven and earth! I won't let you down!"

"This isn't your first time speaking so," Before Xia Zhetao finished speaking, Mu Tingfeng had poured cold water on him without hesitation.

Xia Zhetao fell speechless, 'President, I'm burning with passion now. Could you please not spoil my enthusiasm?!'
