No Bounds for the CEO’s Spoiling

Chapter 27: A Hot Potato



Chu Feng went to the office and saw that Qin Muxuan had arranged things and was ready to go. He felt reluctant to say goodbye to her. At the moment, Qin Muxuan came back. So, Chu Feng said, “You’re going back?”

“No.”

Qin Muxuan put down the papers in hand. She didn’t expect Gu Zijin to ask her to stay in Gu Group until the end of the project. She couldn’t stay here all the time. Now half a month had passed, and the deadline for that contract was a month and a half away.

Although the manager in Qixing Group did not treat her nicely, it was a position after all. At least, she would not end up without a job.

Chu Feng looked at Qin Muxuan’s porcelain-white face and it seemed that there was a soft feather scratching his heart. His ears were even red.

“Qin Muxuan, are you free this evening?”

“Um?”

Qin Muxuan’s watery eyes showed a hint of confusion, “What’s up?”

“Hmm… There is a department party in the evening. Although you are not an employee of Gu Group, we get on well with each other these days, so I would like to invite you to attend.”

“Well, but I am not free tonight.”

“I can call uncle and aunt if they are worried.”

Qin Muxuan’s lips showed a trace of bitterness. Uncle and aunt? Her mother died early. Her father who she could only count on had acquiesced that her stepmother sent her to the bed of Gu Zijin and sold her for glory.

Chu Feng saw Qin Muxuan was in a trance, so he reached out and shook his hand in front of her, “If you don’t talk, I’ll take that as a yes.”

“No…”

Before Qin Muxuan could refuse, Chu Feng had put a car key into her hand, “This is my car key. I’m afraid I’ll forget, so you keep it for me. Come with me in the evening.”

Qin Muxuan couldn’t think of any reason to refuse. If Chu Feng kept asking, it would make her look asocial, so she had to agree.

Chu Feng gave a bright smile. He bowed to edit a message, sent it to the group, and then pulled back the chair to sit down.

Qin Muxuan finished the work, rubbed her shoulders, and then took a nap with a hand holding her head. Gu Zijin sent a message to Qin Muxuan, “Ding-dong.”

Qin Muxuan rubbed her eyes with confusion and picked up the phone to take a look. There was an unread message that came from Gu Zijin, “I will let the housekeeper pick you up in the evening. I still have things to deal with.”

Qin Muxuan finished reading. She was just thinking of some excuse to explain to Gu Zijin about going to the party tonight. So, she answered, “Don’t bother Uncle Chen. I’ll take a taxi myself.”

Gu Zijin looked at the message and his eyes flashed a hint of unpleasure. His lips sank but he didn’t say more. Ten minutes ago, Elderly Lady Gu asked him to invest in the new play of Yan Yuxiao and he was required to do everything himself.

Yan Yuxiao had been in the entertainment circle for so long but she was stagnating in the second tier. In addition to the bad company, it was mainly because of her own reasons. How could Gu Zijin not know that?

But Elderly Lady Gu had given the order, and he was not likely to have a showdown with his grandma for this. In recent years, Elderly Lady Gu had given him many such orders.

When she got off work, Qin Muxuan tidied her long hair and followed Chu Feng. Gu Zijin also happened to go to the underground garage, and two cars passed by. Gu Zijin’s eyes were a little cold. If he didn’t make a mistake, Qin Muxuan seemed to sit in the front passenger seat of Chu Feng?

“Hello.”

“President Gu, the agreement to transfer Miss Yan’s file to your Entertainment Group is ready tonight.”

“I will go there in half an hour and ask the PR of Shengtian Entertainment to wait.”

“Yes.”

Lisa pursed her lips and turned to walk back to the restaurant. The manager of Shengtian Entertainment looked at his wristwatch. Although he was a little impatient, he did not dare to show it. After all, he was going to meet Gu Zijin. He was the great man they couldn’t afford to offend.

When he saw Lisa coming, he immediately smiled ingratiatingly, “Is President Gu on his way?”

“The President has an emergency. Please wait for half an hour.”

“It’s OK. This time, President Gu offered to take Miss Yan away from us at a high price. We are very grateful to President Gu.”

Lisa didn’t show much emotion. This time, Gu Zijin had condescended to sign Yan Yuxiao himself. In fact, she was puzzled. Why should the President show up in person when he could just send someone to deal with such trivial matters? Did the President like Miss Yan?

As soon as the idea crossed Lisa’s mind, she dismissed it. Previous comments on Yan Yuxiao at Shengtian Entertainment were not so good. It was said that she was a second-string player that always put on airs. This was also the reason that Shengtian Entertainment was eager to get rid of her.

Before, Shengtian had been afraid to deal with Yan Yuxiao because she had Elderly Lady Gu behind her. But now it was not the same. The President offered to sign her. Shengtian Entertainment was naturally eager to transfer this hot potato.

The elegant restaurant.

Qin Muxuan followed Chu Feng in and couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Since the bankruptcy of Qin Family, she had never come to this kind of place. When thinking of this, Qin Muxuan felt pain at heart and there was a sense of bitterness.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Waiter, order.”

Chu Feng gently helped Qin Muxuan pull out the chair. Qin Muxuan felt a little confused inside after she sat down, “Is it not the department dinner?”

“Some of them couldn’t make it, so we will eat separately and then get together to sing at seven o’clock.”

“Really?”

Qin Muxuan spoke suspiciously. Chu Feng had pushed the menu up to her. Qin Muxuan looked at the price. She had been working for less than a month and her salary had not been settled yet, so now she could only use the money in the bank card.

“Hmm… I’ll have my steak medium well.”

“No drinks? French Snails are also popular here.”

Qin Muxuan was a little embarrassed. Chu Feng noticed it acutely and laughed, “My treat this time. Next time, you can invite me to have dinner.”

Qin Muxuan felt relieved after hearing that and ordered a few more dishes. Chu Feng glanced at the menu and thought of the dishes Qin Muxuan chose for lunch last time. Perhaps Qin Muxuan loved to eat seafood. So, he added a few more.

Gu Zijin parked the car outside the restaurant. There were almost all couples here. When he saw the restaurant’s signboard written with “Fall in Love”, Gu Zijin’s face was as dark as ink instantly.

So, she didn’t need Uncle Chen to pick up because she wanted to date Chu Feng? Gu Zijin slightly bit his teeth and was full of anger. Qin Muxuan and Chu Feng were sitting by the window. He clearly saw that Qin Muxuan seemed to be a little shy.

Gu Zijin pursed his lips and his eyes showed a dim look.

After dinner, Qin Muxuan and Chu Feng went out. When they walked out of the restaurant, Qin Muxuan suddenly felt cold for no reason. Was she not warmly clad?

“Let’s go to sing.”

“OK.”

Qin Muxuan got in the car. She inadvertently saw the black Bentley on the other side of the road and her breath almost stopped instantly.
