Chapter 834
Janet Murphy glanced at Shen Dongfeng coldly.
“That’s not something you can ask. You just have to do your job.”
As she spoke, a gentle face appeared in her mind.
However, she knew very well that it was just a disguise.
Shen Dongfeng quickly lowered his head and agreed, but then asked, “When you get that medicine, what should we do?”
Janet Murphy raised her eyebrows and said, “His laboratory is recruiting new people. When he starts the first round of the official assessment, it will be the best time to execute the plan.”
“But…” Shen Dongfeng said awkwardly, “There are a total of seven people who have obtained the qualifications for the first round of assessment. However, these people come from all over the world, and they are all fanatical fans of Ander Morgan. With him as their life goal, I’m afraid they won’t be so easily persuaded by us.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. We’ve already thought about it. When we reach that time, someone will naturally take action on our behalf.”
Shen Dongfeng heaved a sigh of relief, and his eyes lit up with greed.
So he only needed to sit at home and wait, and the position of the director of the research institute would be his.
That position was what he had been seeking all his life. Once he obtained it, he would be able to have Ander Morgan’s current fame and status. His life would reach its peak.
Janet Murphy glanced at Shen Dongfeng and warned him, “Shen Dongfeng, the Murphy family has put in a lot of effort for you. Don’t burn the bridge after crossing it…”
Shen Dongfeng quickly said seriously, “Miss Murphy, what are you talking about? I, Shen Dongfeng, am the Murphy family’s right-hand man. I don’t need to move anywhere. How would I dare to burn bridges after crossing them?”
“Hmph.”
Janet Murphy snorted lightly and said, “It better be like this! Otherwise… I, the Murphy family, have the ability to bring you up. Naturally, I also have the ability to pull you down from that position.”
Shen Dongfeng broke out in a cold sweat.
“Of course, of course. Miss Murphy, please rest assured. I, Shen Dongfeng, will never betray the Murphy family.”
After a while, the car finally arrived at Fragrant Overflow Hotel.
It was already past 6pm, but because Shen Dongfeng had made an appointment in advance, the entire hotel was still busy.
Janet Murphy walked in. From the corner of her eye, she saw a waiter moving out a few chairs with the word “happiness” pasted on them. She subconsciously frowned.
“Shen Dongfeng, it’s not convenient for me to show my face in a crowded place. Why are you still booking a hotel where the wedding banquet is being held?”
Shen Dongfeng quickly explained, “No, I’ve already booked this hotel. These things were left behind by Ander Morgan when he held a family recognition banquet here yesterday…”
The displeasure in Janet Murphy’s eyes dissipated. Then, she asked in confusion, “Ander Morgan held a family recognition banquet here yesterday? Why didn’t I know about this?”
Shen Dongfeng observed Janet Murphy’s expression and said, “He held the banquet with someone. He didn’t invite any relatives or friends. Only guests were invited from the other side, so you didn’t receive any news.
Even I only found out by chance when I booked your welcome banquet here today.”
Janet Murphy was not very interested in Ander Morgan, who was about to die. When he heard this, she only asked casually, “Who did he acknowledge?”
Shen Dongfeng thought for a moment and scratched his head. “I suddenly can’t remember her name, but I asked my subordinates to investigate the background of that girl. Her family background is very ordinary, and she grew up in the countryside. She’s also very ugly, but… my subordinates reported to me that the girl seems to be quite close to Ken Swanson. I don’t know if it’s a rumor…”
The more Janet Murphy listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. When she heard the last part, her eyelids twitched. She turned around and grabbed Shen Dongfeng’s collar.
“Is that woman called Melody Fox?!”
Shen Dongfeng had a short stature. When Janet Murphy grabbed him, he was so frightened that he instantly shrunk his neck. He looked like a fat goose.
“J…-Miss Murphy…”
“Answer me!”
“Don’t worry, I-I’ll think about it, I’ll think about it…”
“Hurry up!”
Under Janet Murphy’s urging, Shen Dongfeng finally recalled what he had heard in the morning.
“Yes, I think it’s called Melody Fox… Miss Murphy. What’s wrong with you? Don’t scare me. Let go of me first…”
Only then did Janet Murphy let go of Shen Dongfeng’s collar. Her face was so dark that water could drip from it.
Why did Ander Morgan have to acknowledge Melody Fox, that village girl! These men… including Ken Swanson, were they all blind?
What was so good about that ugly freak!
However, this time, Ander Morgan would die even if he did not die. She would not let Ander Morgan help Melody Fox and become Melody Fox’s backer.
“Miss Murphy?”
Shen Dongfeng asked nervously, “What’s wrong with you? Do you know that person called Melody Fox?”
Janet Murphy took a deep breath and said with an ugly expression, “Shut up! Don’t mention this again!”
When she heard Melody Fox’s name, she felt her body burning with anger. She could not control her emotions at all.
“Yes, yes…” Shen Dongfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and invited Janet Murphy into the private room.
Janet Murphy took two deep breaths and walked in.
After entering, she realized that there was another person sitting in the private room. When the other party saw her enter, she immediately stood up from her chair and greeted her respectfully, “Hello, Miss Murphy…”
Shen Dongfeng took the opportunity to explain, “Miss Murphy. She’s my daughter, Shen Qiqin. She’s two years younger than you and works in my laboratory now. I was afraid that you would feel bored eating with me, so I specially called her over to accompany you.”
She revealed a fawning smile and took the initiative to pull out a chair for Janet Murphy.
“Sister Janet Murphy, please sit.”
Janet Murphy’s expression was still cold and indifferent, but she did not reject her flattery and sat on the chair she had pulled out.
“It’s almost one o’clock now. You must be hungry. Try the food. If it doesn’t suit your taste, I’ll get them to serve it again immediately.”
As the saying goes, one shouldn’t slap a smiling face. Facing her intentional flattery, Janet Murphy gently tugged at her lower lip to accept the other party’s goodwill.
She looked up and saw that the dishes on the table were all her favorites. She could not help but raise her eyebrows.
“How do you know I like these?”
She used the serving chopsticks to pick up a crab for Janet Murphy before replying, “You might not remember me, but we’ve met at several banquets in the past. When I thought that I would treat you to a meal in the future, I deliberately paid attention to it. I didn’t expect that I would really have the chance to eat with you. You don’t know, but you’ve always been my idol!”
Janet Murphy was very pleased with this move. Her cold expression softened a lot.
“You’re quite attentive.”
She smiled and turned to give Shen Dongfeng a relaxed look.
Shen Dongfeng has a shortcoming in socializing, but she happens to fill in the missing part of Shen Dongfeng.
To curry favor with someone as arrogant as Janet Murphy, all he needed to do was to lower her stance to the ground and the other party would become amiable.
