Chapter 841 858: Journey to Xiang Island
Fan Yihui was dumbfounded, "What? A monthly salary of ten thousand, how dare anyone think that's too little? You should know she only earns over a thousand in the supermarket, this...""Brother Lin, ten thousand... isn't ten thousand too much for a salary?" Fan Yihui said hesitantly.
"Hehe, silly girl, apart from you, who in this world thinks money is too much? I'm telling you, it's not too much at all. I even think you're asking for too little. You should know that managers at Su's Great Enterprise in Yunhai Mansion are earning twenty to thirty thousand a month, and your position is very important. If the accounts don't add up, it could bring the company losses of tens of millions!" Lin Mu explained.
"Ah? That serious?" Fan Yihui was startled, and her sense of responsibility immediately strengthened.
"Of course, it's very serious. Think about it, in an enterprise as big as Flying Dragon Group, if someone fudges the books, embezzling one or two million is hard to detect. Now that you're here to oversee things, I'm a hundred times more assured! That's why giving you a ten-thousand salary seems too little to me. But don't worry, after the internship period, I'll raise your salary!" Lin Mu said.
When Fan Yihui heard Lin Mu say this, she accepted the ten thousand monthly salary with relief. Otherwise, for such an easy job, she absolutely couldn't accept ten thousand a month. She thought Lin Mu was supporting her by giving her friendly money. Fan Yihui wanted to earn money through her hard work and efforts.
"Brother Lin, rest assured, I will definitely manage the company finances well and guarantee not a single penny will be wrong!" Fan Yihui assured him with a cheeky grin.
"Heh, with you saying this, my mind can be at ease! Thank you, little sister!" Lin Mu grinned.
"How should you thank me? Actually, I should be thanking you instead, for giving me such a high-paying job, which is something I've dreamed of!" Fan Yihui said.
After familiarizing themselves with the entire work process, Lin Mu took Fan Yihui back to her place to pack her bags. Starting tonight, another beautiful lady would be residing at the Lin Family Mansion. Lin Mu took Fan Yihui back home and saw that the several beautiful women were there. Initially, she felt a bit restrained, but the ladies in the house were not surprised at all. Anyway, any good-looking ones were bound to be brought in by Lin Mu sooner or later!
From the beginning with Qi Manlin, then Zhou Xun, followed by Xiong Xiaoxiao coming over on her own, next Lin Mu enticed Xia Yuyi, and lastly, it was Fan Yihui. Each one of them was a top-class beauty with differing styles and various charm!
These beautiful ladies have tacitly adhered to one principle that ladies entering the Lin Family Mansion wouldn't be excluded by the original ones inside; rather, they would rope them in, forming a united front and camp. Therefore, Lin Mu was left alone, enduring the relentless teasing of several beautiful women every day.
Fan Yihui naturally felt strong rapport with the enthusiastic hospitality from her beautiful sister companions, and before long, they became fast friends!
Lin Mu, watching on, could only purse his lips, feeling helpless, and even doubting the teaching of his physics teacher back in school — wasn't it taught that like repels like and opposites attract? Why were these girls getting along so well while their relations with him were lukewarm? Moreover, he never worried that these girls would squabble over him!
Fan Yihui successfully moved into the Lin Family Mansion, but Lin Mu was unable to revel in feminine favor because the next day, he received a call from Sophie, prompting him to immediately fly to Xiang Island.
Actually, regarding what Sophie said about going to Xiang Island for business talks, Lin Mu remained skeptical. As the commercial empress, does she really need to personally handle negotiations? If that's truly the case, then who is the big shot on the other side? It seems like their profile is a bit too grand!
Furthermore, even if the other party's profile was grand enough to warrant Sophie personally negotiating, she shouldn't be going alone, right? Wouldn't she need to bring assistants or secretaries with her? Surely, her special assistant Su Xiaowan shouldn't be left behind?
Yet she decidedly did not take anyone else, just Lin Mu alone, leaving Lin Mu bewildered. And although Lin Mu asked many times if there were additional motives, Sophie insisted she was just there for business talks, with nothing else involved, forcing Lin Mu to refrain from speaking further. What would be found out upon reaching Xiang Island would become known naturally.
Of course, Lin Mu was not interested in whether it was genuinely business talk; he was interested in being alone with Sophie. It seemed like enticingly seductive experiences were about to happen soon!
The two boarded the plane in the afternoon and arrived at Xiang Island Airport in the evening. Before arriving, Sophie had arranged accommodations in advance, so once they landed, the two headed for a five-star hotel that had been pre-booked.
Xiang Island's nightlife was beautiful, the bustling business street in a mix of red and blue hues, distinct from inland customs, not just in attire but also in the hairstyles of both men and women, with a European flair, probably due to its long colonial history under the United Kingdom!
At Xiang Island's most famous five-star Rainbow Grand Hotel, Lin Mu and Sophie reached the front desk to collect their room key and headed straight to the tenth-floor guest room. The tenth floor was the top floor of the Rainbow Hotel, reserved for the presidential suite, very costly, and not only offered top-tier royal tastes but also visual feasts, as the tenth floor allowed panoramic views of all Xiang Island, particularly at night, presenting unique beauty!
What's more important is that Lin Mu finally got his wish to live under the same roof as Sophie without outside disturbances. Upon entering the room, Sophie rubbed her fragrant shoulders, appearing somewhat tired.
"Hehe, Feifei, would you like me to give you a massage?" Lin Mu asked after closing the door, for massage was Lin Mu's forte. He was well-versed in Chinese medicine's acupuncture points and had substantial skills as a method, so once his massage started, it quickly brought comfort leading into sleep. And then Lin Mu, revealing the beast-like side of him, could subtly take advantage without anyone being the wiser!
Of course, with Sophie, Lin Mu remained proper, as Wancheng Empress's aura was exceptionally formidable. Without Sophie's explicit or implicit consent, he dared not have a hint of disrespect towards her!
Still, Lin Mu could be somewhat honest, while Sophie gradually discerned his personality, so Lin Mu's playful teasing had to match with Sophie's mood. If Sophie felt good, his teasing didn't matter; if her mood was off, Lin Mu simply had to remain quiet on the side. So, Sophie was the hardest to manage among all of Lin Mu's women; others could be playfully teased, but with Sophie, he couldn't act so boldly.
Lin Mu was worried Sophie would reject his suggestion, but Sophie unexpectedly agreed, "Then, go ahead with the massage!"
Even though Sophie's tone was indifferent with no excitement, Lin Mu was thrilled inside.
"Mm, good, great!"
