The King of Urban Mercenaries-Chapter 461: Mu Shanshan Falls Asleep, Mu Group in Chaos
Just past ten in the morning at the Mu Groupβs location, the Moongaze Building.
On the twenty-sixth floor, near the office of CEO Mu Shanshanβwas the Direct Secretariat of the CEO. πππππ¬πππ·ππΏππ‘.ππΈπ
The ordinarily quiet and well-ordered Direct Secretariat was now in complete disarray.
Not due to a physical mess, but because all the assistants and secretaries directly under the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan, including their work and their emotions, were completely out of control!
There was but one reason: Mu Shanshan, the CEO who was known to always arrive early and never be late.
Exceptionally, more than an hour after the start of work hours, the woman had yet to arrive at the office.
She hadnβt even placed a call to any of her group of secretaries or assistants.
Mu Shanshan was undoubtedly the cornerstone of Mu Group!
Especially after the woman secured a 3.5-billion fund from the City Council for the sustainable growth enterprise and orchestrated the merger with Red Valley Group to take over Fangxing Group.
The Mu Group had basically become a one-woman show run by the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan. Even the board of directors, in some respects, had to operate according to her wishes.
Under such circumstances, one can imagine the significance of the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan to Mu Group!
At present, Mu Group was in the crucial stages of fully integrating and merging with Fangxing Group.
Simply put, the entire Mu Group was in a state of constant busyness!
Every hour, even every minute, documents and proposals needed to pass under the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshanβs eyes for approval or rejection.
It seemed that whether CEO Mu Shanshan signed or rejected a document or proposal, it might only take a few minutes, or even a few seconds of her time.
Yet, it was those few minutes or even seconds from ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan that would determine if a certain project in a department under Mu Group could proceed!
A delay of just a few minutes, or even seconds, in a decision by CEO Mu Shanshan could be a potential crisis for a Mu Group department or factory involved in her decisions.
It could even lead to the delay of a project, or a product missing its manufacturing or shipping deadline.
Now, relative to the normal work hours, the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan was already over an hour late!
CEO Mu Shanshanβs tardiness was practically equivalent to a halt in operations for some departments within Mu Group, as they integrated Fangxing Groupβs business and personnel swiftly.
Without decisions from above, the work below could not be rolled out.
Currently, several departments within Mu Group were in this situation.
As a result, the entire office of the CEOβs secretariat, including the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshanβs office itself, was about to have its phones ring off the hook!
"Xuanxuan, how come the boss isnβt here yet? The sales department is getting bombarded with calls!"
"Chairman Wu from Sea Star Group personally called just now, asking us to confirm the exact time for next weekβs meeting! Oh God, without the boss, how am I supposed to reply to Chairman Wu?!"
"Secretary to Vice President Liu of the bank just called, asking about our decision on the loan. Sister Xuan, youβre like my real sister, please tell me, what does the boss think?!"
Among those most burdened by CEO Mu Shanshanβs delay were undeniably her direct secretaries and assistants. Without the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshanβs decisions, their various tasks couldnβt get off the ground!
And as the personal assistant directly under the ice-queen CEO Mu Shanshan, who was also the secretary on duty today, the delicate and petite Shen Xuanβwas undoubtedly having a stroke of terrible misfortune!
Not to mention her own work couldnβt proceed, just in Mu Shanshanβs presidential office alone, the constantly ringing phones and the pleas from fellow secretaries and assistants
were enough to make her head spin!
If it werenβt for her prolonged stint by Mu Shanshan, the icy presidentβs side, hardening her somewhat in handling unexpected situations, Shen Xuan might have already collapsed!
Although she was considered a favorite of Mu Shanshan, the icy president, even possibly the top secretary,
in the end, she was just a secretary.
She could help arrange meetings and convey instructions for Mu Shanshan, the icy president, but borrowing a hundred doses of courage, she wouldnβt dare make decisions for her.
Now, all the responsibilities were pressing down on her frail frame. That she hadnβt been crushed on the spot was already quite an achievement.
At this moment, Shen Xuan, the secretary, couldnβt possibly handle all these numerous tasks.
Honestly, right now, Shen Xuan really wanted to cry. But the problem was, she didnβt even have time to find a corner to cry in.
Seeing Shen Xuan silent, one of Mu Shanshanβs direct secretaries next to her poked her tenderly and whispered, "Xuanxuan, this canβt go on like this. Why donβt we call President Mu and ask?"
Calling Mu Shanshan, the icy president, was undoubtedly the wisest decision at the moment.
But after all, they were just secretaries.
They knew well that Mu Shanshan, the icy president, had an unusually cool demeanor and had almost never been late for work before.
As a secretary, calling their own president to ask why she hadnβt come to work
required an extraordinary amount of courage,
even somewhat resembling a death wish.
"Connect me with President Ling, only Ling can save us now."
Lacking the courage to call Mu Shanshan, the icy president, to ask why she hadnβt come to work, Shen Xuan couldnβt help but pin her hopes on Ling Weiwei, who could be considered Mu Shanshanβs closest confidante.
"I advise you not to count on President Ling anymore; sheβs currently representing President Mu, hosting Chairman Su from the Red Valley Group. President Ling herself has a mess of issues to attend to, do you think she can spare the time?"
Li Anqing, Mu Shanshanβs assistant, patted Shen Xuanβs shoulders to dissuade her from seeking help from the beautiful Minister Ling Weiwei.
Unable to seek help, they had to fend for themselves!
Pressed to the brink, Shen Xuan pondered for a couple of seconds, biting her lips tightly, "Half an hour, just wait another half hour! If President Mu still isnβt here by then, Iβll call her!"
With Shen Xuanβs half-hour assurance, the collective secretaries and assistants slightly relaxed and plunged back into their tense workload.
...
Unlike the completely chaotic secretaries and assistants directly under the Mu Group president,
at Purple Garden Pavilion, second-floor master bedroom,
the atmosphere was quite serene and peaceful.
The much-worried-about Mu Shanshan,
curled up in Lin Feiβs embrace, slept very peacefully. Looking at her, it seemed unlikely that she would wake up anytime soon...
