Luo Feng hurried towards the restroom, feeling inexplicably flustered.

He couldn't explain why, but he instinctively didn't want Lin Naizi and Bai Ningbing to notice Su Mu's presence.

Perhaps he was also worried that if these two women found out, they would inevitably interrogate him again.

For example, why did Su Mu come here? Is it really a coincidence?

He went into the restroom, leaned against the sink, took a deep breath, looked at himself in the mirror, and slowly calmed down.

"It was just a chance encounter, nothing serious," he muttered to himself.

But the image of Su Mu wearing a white dress kept appearing in his mind.

He was now completely baffled by Su Mu's feelings.

So much has happened, especially this wooden box, which has widened the distance between the two.

After waiting for a while and confirming that there was no unusual movement outside, Luo Feng breathed a sigh of relief and turned on the tap to wash his hands.

Just as he was about to leave, the bathroom door was pushed open, and a man in a sharp suit walked in.

The man was tall and had a cold face, but his eyes held a hint of amusement. He stared intently at Luo Feng as soon as he entered.

Luo Feng felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, thinking to himself, "Is this guy crazy?"
He's not gay, what are you looking at!

"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" Luo Feng frowned and asked first.

He simply couldn't stand the man's gaze anymore.

It would be one thing if it were a woman, but it turns out to be a man.

The man chuckled softly, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly approached.

"Mr. Luo, you are indeed a straightforward person. I came here specifically to discuss cooperation with you."

"Cooperation?" Luo Feng raised an eyebrow, his doubts deepening. "What cooperation? We don't seem to know each other."

The man did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Mr. Luo, whichever aspect you wish to cooperate on, we will cooperate on."

"Whether it's technology, funding, or market channels, as long as you mention it, we have the sincerity and strength to provide it."

These words made Luo Feng feel even more strange. This person's words were ambiguous, so who was he? He stared intently into the man's eyes and said in a deep voice, "I don't even know who sent you, so how can we talk about cooperation?"

The man smiled mysteriously, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to Luo Feng.

"Mr. Luo, you'll understand after you read this."

Luo Feng reached out and took the business card, feeling that the material was thick and of exceptional quality.

It shouldn't be an ordinary company; judging from the materials used, it's similar to the large companies he's seen before.

He looked down and saw that the business card had no complicated designs, only a line of small gold lettering.

Chen Mo, Chief Strategic Advisor of Star Capital.

as predicted.

Luo Feng was not entirely unfamiliar with this name and company.

Star Capital is a giant that has emerged in the capital circle in recent years. It acts in a low-key manner but is ruthless in its moves. It has a deep presence in many fields such as new energy and technology. However, it has never been heard that they would take the initiative to seek cooperation with a car company that has just made its mark overseas.

"Star Capital?"

Luo Feng looked up at Chen Mo, his tone tinged with doubt, "What do you want to cooperate with Su Qi on? It can't just be that you're interested in our car, can it?"

Chen Mo's smile faded, and his expression became more serious.

"Mr. Luo is indeed extremely intelligent."

Luo Feng was already immune to such praise.

He waved his hand and couldn't help but say, "Let's go straight for the point! I don't like beating around the bush."

“Okay, actually, we’ve been paying attention to Suqi for a long time, not only because of the product strength in China, but also because we value Mr. Luo’s personal abilities.”

"From breaking into the Chinese market to turning the tide at the European Auto Show today, every step you've taken has exceeded our expectations."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "As for the direction of cooperation, we can provide top-notch technology research and development funding to help Su Qi open up the European supply chain."

"We can also use resources to help Suqi's brand quickly penetrate the global high-end market."

"Even if you want to expand into other areas, Starry Night can provide comprehensive support."

These words sounded tempting, but Luo Feng did not lower his guard at all.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Star Capital must have a deeper purpose behind all this trouble.

Moreover, Suqi was not the creator.

Isn't it a bit strange that the other party didn't go to Brother Jun to discuss cooperation, but instead came to him?

At most, he's just one of Su Qi's shareholders!
"What are the conditions?" Luo Feng asked bluntly. "Xingyao won't do a losing business. What do you want?"

A hint of approval flashed in Chen Mo's eyes, as if he had expected Luo Feng to ask this question.

He stepped forward and lowered his voice, saying, "Our conditions are very simple."

"We hope that Mr. Luo can become a strategic partner of Xingyao, so that we can have a certain right to know about Suqi's major decisions in the future."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Feng's phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Lin Naizi.

"Luo Feng, where are you? There are a few Middle Eastern distributors who want to meet with you urgently!"

Luo Feng glanced at the message, then looked at Chen Mo, his brows furrowing slightly.

"I need time to consider the cooperation, and I have urgent matters to attend to right now."

Chen Mo didn't press the matter; he simply handed over a custom-made black USB drive.

"Mr. Luo, you can take a look at the information here first. It contains a cooperation plan that we have tailored for Su Qi."

"If you've thought it through, feel free to call me anytime using the number on my business card."

More haste less speed.

No matter how much pressure the other party puts on you, it will only backfire.

Luo Feng took the USB drive, put it in his pocket, and without saying anything more, turned around and walked out of the restroom.

He kept pondering what the other person had said.

Just as I reached the door, I bumped into a familiar figure.

Su Mu was standing at the end of the corridor not far away, holding a cup of coffee in her hand, looking at him with a complicated expression.

Clearly, Su Mu had been waiting here for a while, and perhaps he had overheard part of his conversation with Chen Mo.

Judging from her position and the things she was carrying, it was clear that she wasn't there to linger in the restroom, but rather to specifically find Luo Feng.

Luo Feng's heart sank suddenly, and the panic he had just suppressed surged up again.

He opened his mouth, wanting to explain something, but didn't know where to begin.

Su Mu looked at him, remained silent for a few seconds, and finally spoke first, her voice soft. "You... know Chen Mo of Xingyao Capital?"

Luo Feng's pupils shrank sharply; there was really no escaping it!

Then, he suddenly looked up at Su Mu, as if he had realized something.

"Xingyao... also invested in your company?"

After all, it's highly suspicious that this woman could directly know the other person's identity and name.

Even if someone were eavesdropping, they wouldn't be able to find out these things.

A hint of surprise flashed across Su Mu's eyes, then he gave a bitter smile and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Yes, the Series A funding was completed three months ago, and Xingyao is now our company's largest shareholder."

"If...you partner with them and become a strategic partner,"

Su Mu's voice grew softer and softer, as if she too was experiencing complex emotions.

"According to Xingyao's management structure, you will also be directly in charge of investment business in the cultural and entertainment sector, which means you will be my direct supervisor."

"We're not cooperating anymore."

Luo Feng blurted it out almost without hesitation, his tone resolute and without the slightest hesitation.

His mind is now filled with the words "stay away from Su Mu".

Maintaining the balance within the harem is the most important thing to do right now.

He had no intention of bringing Su Mu into the picture for the time being. He couldn't let a collaboration complicate their relationship, nor could he leave any room for misunderstandings for others.

In the current situation, Luo Feng is more worried about those organizations.

As long as these organizations are not eliminated, anyone who follows them will be in danger.

Su Mu froze, the coffee cup in her hand wobbled slightly, and the liquid inside almost spilled.

She stared blankly at Luo Feng, her eyes filled with a wave of disappointment.

"Do you...hate me that much?"

"You hate me so much that you immediately reject any collaboration that might involve working with me?"

“It’s not that I hate it,” Luo Feng immediately retorted, but his tone was somewhat weak. “It was something I had no choice.”

"Unavoidable circumstances?" Su Mu repeated these four words, her voice suddenly rising and then quickly falling back down, with a strong nasal tone.

"That's just an excuse."

She looked down at the ground, her long eyelashes damp with tears, clearly heartbroken.

The next second, Su Mu slammed the coffee cup in her hand onto the handrail of the corridor next to her, making a crisp sound as it collided.

Before Luo Feng could react, she suddenly stepped forward and, as if possessed, reached out and hugged Luo Feng tightly from behind.

"Woo..."

Suppressed sobs came from behind Luo Feng, making him shudder.

Immediately afterwards, warm tears quickly soaked the back of his shirt.

Su Mu's shoulders trembled slightly, but her hands clung tighter and tighter, as if she had grasped a lifeline.

Luo Feng froze, his arm hanging in mid-air, neither daring to push him away nor knowing how to respond.

An unprecedented sense of helplessness instantly enveloped him.

He wanted to distance himself from the relationship, but instead found himself in this awkward situation.

The warmth in his arms and the crying behind him left him in a state of utter confusion.

At the corner of the corridor, a figure was sneakily hiding behind a pillar, secretly pointing a mobile phone camera at the two people embracing, and repeatedly pressing the shutter button on the screen.

Each photo captured Luo Feng's stiff back and Su Mu sobbing against his shoulder.

A cold smile curled at the corner of the man's lips as he manipulated his phone, saving the photos to an encrypted album, his eyes filled with the excitement of having made headlines.

Just a little fermentation is needed.

The headline about the secret romance between top investor Luo Feng and popular actress Su Mu is enough to stay on the trending searches for a whole day.

The person being secretly photographed was completely unaware of this.

Luo Feng stood frozen in place, his arm hanging in mid-air for a long time before finally gently landing on Su Mu's back, though the movement was very light.

He didn't say anything, just let the girl let her accumulated grievances turn into tears, soaking his shirt.

Only Su Mu's suppressed sobs and the faint sound of footsteps in the distance filled the corridor, making the atmosphere exceptionally quiet.

After an unknown amount of time, Su Mu's crying gradually subsided, and her trembling shoulders calmed down.

She slowly released her hands from Luo Feng's waist, looking at the damp stains on his shirt with a hint of lingering affection in her eyes.

"sorry."

Su Mu took a half step back, lowered her head, and haphazardly wiped her reddened eyes with the back of her hand, her voice still a little hoarse.

"I lost my composure, I shouldn't have... I shouldn't have done that."

She dared not look up into Luo Feng's eyes, afraid of seeing annoyance or indifference in them. She could only stare at her cuff, which was stained with coffee, and use words to cover up her impulsiveness.

Luo Feng looked at her reddened nose and messy hair, and the words "It's okay" that were on the tip of his tongue got stuck in his throat.

He instinctively reached out to offer a tissue, but stopped halfway through, and finally just said softly.

"fine."

But when my gaze swept over the empty corner at the end of the corridor, a strange unease rose in my heart.

It was as if his two women had already witnessed this scene.

Could it be that Luo Feng has been plagued by romantic troubles lately?
Seeing that Su Mu's emotions were gradually calming down, Luo Feng briefly told him to contact him anytime if he needed anything, and then turned and walked towards the banquet hall.

Su Mu stood there, watching his figure disappear into the crowd, before slowly straightening her back and raising her hand to straighten her slightly disheveled skirt.

She took a deep breath, composed herself, and strode towards the lavish banquet.

She was already very happy to see Luo Feng.

As soon as Luo Feng returned to his home turf, he was immediately surrounded by several representatives of his partners who had been waiting for him.

He accepted the champagne from the waiter, a smile playing on his lips—a professional smile—and exchanged pleasantries with everyone.

"Mr. Wang, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. I was held up by some personal matters."
