Night.
Lin Fei and Mu Shanshan's location, Purple Garden Pavilion villa.
Listening to Mu Shanshan seemingly casually narrating about her signing Meng Ke'er, Lin Fei sat dumbfounded on the sofa, speechless for a long time.
In the end, it was Keke's unconscious giggles while watching a cartoon that unexpectedly brought Lin Fei back to his senses.
"Honey, did you really sign Meng Ke'er?!"
Even though he had previously heard Mu Shanshan confirm it, Lin Fei still found it a bit hard to believe.
Comparatively, Lin Fei's current reaction of merely being stunned and silent for a moment was quite good.
During the day, Mu Shanshan had finalized details in the CEO's office regarding helping Meng Ke'er terminate her contract with her agency and signing her as the Mu Group's all-brand spokesperson.
Upon receiving Mu Shanshan's instructions, Shen Xuan and other secretaries of the CEO, along with Mu Group's legal department employees, couldn't merely describe their reaction as surprised by the news.
As the news spread from Shen Xuan and others throughout Mu Group, the entire Moongaze Building undoubtedly plunged into a frenzy once again.
Thus, Lin Fei's relatively calm demeanor at this moment, compared to the initial excitement of Mu Group headquarters staff upon hearing the news, could be described as calm, even composed.
The reason for asking Mu Shanshan again was entirely due to Lin Fei's position.
After all, compared to other headquarters employees of Mu Group, Lin Fei was not only a member of Mu Group but also the husband of the ice-cold CEO, Mu Shanshan.
Based on this, given Meng Ke'er's goodwill towards him in the CEO's office during the day,
Lin Fei was clearly extremely confused and disbelieving, just like when Meng Ke'er initially heard the news from Mu Shanshan.
Fortunately, Mu Shanshan didn't keep Lin Fei waiting long; soon after he finished speaking, she adjusted Keke sitting on her lap.
Mu Shanshan's serene eyes focused directly on Lin Fei, nodding to him while she explained with determination, "You don't need to overthink it. I signed Meng Ke'er simply because she truly fits our company's role as the all-brand spokesperson."
This statement from Mu Shanshan wasn't entirely untrue. Although there was some intention to control Meng Ke'er through the signing,
thus preventing situations between Meng Ke'er and Lin Fei that might upset her.
Nevertheless, regarding Meng Ke'er being highly suitable to be Mu Group's all-brand spokesperson, Mu Shanshan wasn't merely being arbitrary.
Mu Group's main products are cosmetics and clothing, targeting young middle-class women.
And this demographic of young women happens to be Meng Ke'er's main fan base.
Therefore, signing such a globally renowned pop star as Meng Ke'er, who aligns with Mu Group's product positioning, indeed offers significant advantages for Mu Group's current theme of expanding into international markets.
As Mu Shanshan stated, while she is indeed Lin Fei's wife, she is also a businesswoman.
As the CEO of Mu Group, Mu Shanshan evidently wouldn't disregard the overall interests of Mu Group.
Lin Fei understood this, more or less.
After all, living under the same roof for quite some time, Lin Fei clearly had some understanding of his CEO wife's temperament.
But, understanding is one thing; clarity is another.
Some matters clearly needed Lin Fei to clarify.
For instance, Mu Group has never ventured into any entertainment projects.
"Honey, if I recall correctly, doesn't our company lack a subsidiary in the entertainment field?"
Without an entertainment company, it means there's no proper way to place and manage Meng Ke'er, risking her fame and popularity dwindling over time.
Using a gradually declining pop star as Mu Group's all-brand spokesperson clearly doesn't align with Mu Group's current high-profile theme of exploring international markets.
Of course, these matters were secondary to Lin Fei. After all, he was never interested in business affairs.
What Lin Fei genuinely cared about was Meng Ke'er's future development.
If, because of him, Mu Shanshan signed Meng Ke'er, and it eventually led to her fame and popularity waning, even to the point of complete retirement from the music industry one day,
when that day comes, Lin Fei would undoubtedly owe something to Meng Ke'er.
After all, Meng Ke'er, although somewhat rashly entering his life, caused some issues in his marriage with Mu Shanshan.
But all of this stemmed from Meng Ke'er's goodwill towards him, even affection.
In short, Meng Ke'er meant no harm to Lin Fei.
As such, Lin Fei naturally wouldn't want Meng Ke'er to be indirectly sidelined by his CEO wife, Mu Shanshan, due to him.
...
"So, honey, what you mean is, you're going to establish an agency exclusively for Meng Ke'er?!"
"Since I chose to sign her, I will be responsible for her future development. Once the agency is established, as long as I am still the CEO of Mu Group, the agency will only have her as its sole artist." After explaining to Lin Fei with focused eyes, Mu Shanshan spoke as if reminding herself, "I never make a business that loses money!"
In signing Meng Ke'er, as both wife and CEO, Mu Shanshan exercised her right as a wife to prevent Meng Ke'er from potentially becoming a third wheel between her and Lin Fei. Simultaneously, she didn't forget her identity as Mu Group's CEO, prioritizing the company's overall interests.
Simply put, while ensuring her marriage with Lin Fei remained intact, she intended to make money as well.
Because she is the business goddess—Mu Shanshan!
Even though she is married to Lin Fei, even though her personal relationship experience is nearly nonexistent, even though she doesn't understand how to be a good wife.
However, this doesn't prevent Mu Shanshan from stabilizing her family and marriage in the way she's proficient in.
After more than half a year together, Mu Shanshan has confirmed her feelings for Lin Fei, having even accepted Lin Fei's marriage proposal at New Star Forest.
Thus, Mu Shanshan decided not to overlook Lin Fei's relatively chaotic private life as she did before.
But interfering in Lin Fei's private life doesn't mean she will abandon Mu Group.
She believes she can perfectly manage the relationship between work and family.
Just like how she perfectly handled the Meng Ke'er situation this time…
