Chapter 84: Are You Using Me as a Chaffeur?
“Make sure that it’s the following episode,” Mufeng instructed worriedly.
Zhiqian clicked his tongue. “How about I get the director to call you so you can tell him yourself?”
If Mufeng was going to be so worried about this, he might as well handle it himself, he thought.
However, he didn’t Mufeng to actually agree.
“I think that’s fine, too.”!!
Zhiqian chuckled. He was his sworn brother. What else could he do?
Naturally, he could only adhere to Mufeng’s request.
And so, Zhiqian personally contacted Hou Guanglin, the director of Accelerated Flight.
When Guanglin heard Zhiqian say that Mufeng was willing to participate in their show, his first reaction was, “Are you serious?”
Zhiqian remained silent. He wasn’t the only one who was surprised. Anyone who heard about something so amazing would be shocked, too.
“He’s only free for the next episode, though,” Zhiqian said. “Go and confirm the details with him.”
“Yes, yes.” Guanglin quickly agreed. He wondered if Mufeng had agreed to participate because of Zhiqian.
He anxiously contacted Qin Mufeng. After confirming what time Qin Mufeng would be free, he felt as though he was still stepping on clouds, drifting around like he was in a dream and even asked his wife to pinch him. After being pinched, he cried out in pain and laughed foolishly, to which his wife rolled her eyes at him.
He was so excited that he couldn’t sleep for the entire night.
He even wanted to skip the next episode of filming and rush straight to the episode which Qin Mufeng would be appearing in.
Guanglin dreamed of a scene where the audience would scream in excitement when they heard that Qin Mufeng had joined the show. Their show would no doubt shoot up in the rankings!

On Thursday afternoon, Jiang Xun went to Shanpin to sign the contract regarding her participation in Accelerated Flight. She’d brought Mufeng’s jacket with her, intending to get Wang Yicheng to pass it to him, only to run into Mufeng himself.
He had just gotten off the car at the entrance to the Shanpin headquarters.
“Mr. Qin,” she called out.
Mufeng paused slightly and looked at Jiang Xun in disbelief. He was usually the one who would seek her out, only for her to ignore him, but this time, Jiang Xun had sought him out instead. He was pleasantly surprised at this turn of events, so much so that he felt like he was dreaming.
When he came back to his senses, Mufeng found Jiang Xun standing in front of him. “Are you here to discuss something?”
“Yes. I’m here to sign a contract about my participation in a variety show,” Jiang Xun explained. “What about you?”
“I’m here to discuss something and also to sign a contract.”
It was then that Jiang Xun quickly handed the suit to Mufeng. “Then, is it convenient for you to take the suit now? I brought it with me today because I wanted to get Mr. Wang to pass it to you.”
Mufeng took the suit and handed it to Chengnan, who took the suit and put it back in the car.
In the meantime, Mufeng gestured for Jiang Xun to leave along with him. While they were walking, Jiang Xun realized that Mufeng seemed to have no intention of leaving her side, not even until the two of them entered Yicheng’s office together.
Seeing this, Yicheng hid his feelings. His gaze looked back and forth between the two of them. With a smile, he said, “Did the both of you decide to come together?”
“No, we bumped into each other downstairs.” Jiang Xun gave Yicheng a strange look, puzzled as to why he was acting a bit off.
What was Old Wang thinking about?
In response, Yicheng chuckled and took out the contracts to pass to Jiang Xun and Mufeng.
When Mufeng was signing the contract, Chengnan also came up to the office.
He just happened to hear Yicheng say to Jiang Xun, “Speaking of which, President Qin is also participating in your episode of Accelerated Flight.”
Jiang Xun looked at Mufeng in surprise.
How did this person have the time to participate in variety shows?
Was he really that free?
Jiang Xun’s gaze was filled with doubt as to whether Mufeng was really busy with his work. This made the corner of Mufeng’s eyes twitch as he explained in a serious manner, “Feng Videos is one of Wei Feng’s companies. They can’t find a suitable guest right now, so since Zhiqian and I are good friends, I’ll do him a favor.”
Yicheng:”…”
Chengnan:”…”
Zhiqian definitely didn’t ask for his help.
Luckily, the two of them didn’t know that Mufeng was the one who’d called Zhiqian on his own accord. They simply allowed him to sit there and spout nonsense with such a serious expression.

Jiang Xun left after signing the contract.
She didn’t expect Mufeng to come with her.
Just as she was about to leave the headquarters, Jiang Xun finally asked, “Mr. Qin, didn’t you say that you still have something to discuss?”
“I’m done,” Mufeng said plainly.
“…”
Did he come here just to discuss the contract and sign it?
“What other arrangements do you have today?” Mufeng suddenly asked when he walked out of the door of the Shanpin headquarters.
“Nothing.”
“Then treat me to a meal.” Mufeng’s eyes widened when he saw Jiang Xun’s shocked expression. He explained, “Didn’t you say that you have to thank me?”
“I thought about it all night. I think you should just treat me to a meal.” Mufeng’s expression was calm and confident. His ink-black eyes landed on Jiang Xun’s face.
Hearing that, Jiang Xun looked at the time. “Don’t you have to go back to your company?”
Didn’t he say that he was very busy? Were there no problems for him to get off work so early?
Mufeng couldn’t help but feel that she thought of him as a very idle person, so he said, “It just so happens that I’m not that busy today.”
“Oh. I see.”
“…”
Jiang Xun definitely didn’t believe him.
“I don’t mind treating you to a meal, but it won’t be seen as a misunderstanding, right?” Jiang Xun’s suggestion of not treating him to a meal caused another misunderstanding. “Why don’t you change your request?”
Mufeng gritted his teeth and grumbled inwardly. Her attitude was all his fault. “It doesn’t matter if someone were to see us.”
A misunderstanding?
If it was really seen, it might not be… a misunderstanding.
“If you don’t mind, then I don’t mind.” Jiang Xun shrugged nonchalantly. “You can choose the restaurant.”
She was very generous. After all, Big Boss Xun was filthy rich now!
Mufeng obviously didn’t have any difficulty in choosing a restaurant. “Get in the car.”
Jiang Xun quickly followed after him and was about to open the back door when Mufeng stood still and looked at her silently.
“Mr. Qin?” Jiang Xun looked over and wondered what was wrong with Mufeng this time. Was there something that he couldn’t say directly? Why did he have to stare at her like that?
What a bad habit!
“Are you using me as your chauffeur?” Mufeng raised his eyebrows at Jiang Xun.
“I thought you had Mr. Zhang as an assistant to drive you around?” Jiang Xun looked at Mufeng innocently.
Every time she met Mufeng, he was usually being driven around by his personal chauffeur or Mr. Zhang.
The only exception so far was the time when she was running around. That time, Mufeng had driven the car by himself.
“Although I don’t have work to do today, he does,” Mufeng said. “He still has to return to the company to deal with some matters.”
Chengnan looked at Mufeng innocently. Was that so?
“That’s indeed the case.” Reading the hidden message in his boss’s words, Chengnan took out his phone and called a car for himself. “I was just about to return to the company.”
Mufeng raised his index finger and knocked on the driver’s window, still looking at Jiang Xun. “Come and sit in front.”
Jiang Xun shrugged. It didn’t matter where she sat.
