Quite awkward

The winter in Beicheng is colder than in Linjiang, and the wind is as sharp as a knife.

Muchenan only planned to stay in North City for two days. As soon as he got off the plane yesterday, he immediately met with representatives of the cooperative company. He also had a drinking party in the evening, so he woke up this morning feeling a little unwell.

At lunch that day, a middle-aged boss toasted him, but Mu Chenan waved him away, still maintaining his naturally arrogant attitude.

"Sorry, I have a headache. I can only drink tea instead of wine."

The people in North City are very cunning and only want to please the Mu family, so they smile in a flattering way.

"Mr. Mu, please feel free to do as you please."

On the other side, Ling Qiao noticed that Mu Chenan's face was slightly pale, and secretly sent a message to his assistant to buy medicine and send it over.

The dinner was over and everyone left, but Mu Chen sat in his seat and did not leave for the time being.

After a while, Ling Qiao came back with a white bag.

"Mr. Mu, the temperature difference between the two cities is quite large. I think you have a cold. You need to take some medicine first."

Mu Chenan lowered his eyes slightly without giving any response.

Ling Qiao cleverly poured a cup of warm water, gripped the handle with her nude pink nails, and held it steadily in front of him.

Her behavior was considerate and her voice gentle.

"This cold medicine makes you sleepy. You'd better go back to your room and take a nap this afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Chenan felt a force in his head suddenly tighten, and his head was splitting with pain.

He closed his eyes and endured it, but finally did not refuse the other party's kindness and swallowed the medicine.

Then he stood up by the table, lowered his eyes, and thanked Ling Qiao in a distant manner.

Ling Qiao was very sensible in her actions. She just blinked and smiled, and didn't insist.

"Well, I'll be leaving now."

……

The business trip to Beicheng has been compressed and completed, and Mu Chenan will fly back to Linjiang tomorrow.

He went back to his room to rest in the afternoon. He slept very soundly and felt much more refreshed when he woke up, thanks to Ling Qiao's cold medicine.

In the evening, Mu Chenan went to the rooftop restaurant of the hotel and happened to meet Ling Qiao.

She mustered up the courage to invite him to dinner.

Mu Chenan did not refuse her and nodded in agreement.

The view here is excellent. Looking down, those tall buildings that I once thought were huge become inconspicuous, and it feels like you are in the clouds.

At the dinner table, the two had no shortage of common topics and enjoyed each other very much.

Ling Qiao couldn't help but recall that last time she went on a business trip to Linjiang, she finally got the chance to have dinner with Muchenan.

However, unexpected events occurred frequently along the way.

First, Muchen'an's shirt was accidentally stained with oil, then the food was not to his taste, and finally his sister suddenly appeared at the dinner table.

And today's dinner is the real time for her and Mu Chenan to be alone.

There are many rich young men in the circle of North City, but none of them can compare to Muchenan's good looks. His handsome face is enough to make women crazy, coupled with his innate noble temperament and aloofness.

No matter how you look at it, this is the type Ling Qiao likes.

It’s a pity that her career is all in North City. Apart from work contact, she has no way to develop a romantic relationship with Muchenan.

Of course, the other party may not necessarily like her.

Ling Qiao wanted to create more opportunities to spend time with Mu Chenan, so they naturally talked about a topic.

"Mr. Mu, is the Mu Group sponsoring a dating show?"

Mu Chenan was slightly stunned.

He wasn't impressed and explained calmly, "This is all done by people below me in the company. I don't really get involved."

Ling Qiao nodded, turned on the phone screen and checked the time.

"Mr. Mu, would you like to go to the recording site of the dating variety show? Our company's products are also sponsored, but we are not as wealthy as the Mu family, who are willing to directly become the first sponsor."

Mu Chenan concentrated on thinking for a moment, then waved to Chen Yang.

After asking, I found out that Mu's has been the sponsor of this dating variety show since the first season. Later, the show became popular and brought a lot of additional revenue to Mu's.

However, compared with the income from other channels, this part of the revenue seems insignificant, so Muchenan never focused his work on a variety show that only focuses on love.

Since it is a project invested by the Mu family, it would not be a bad idea for him to go and check it out when he comes to Beicheng.

-

Several people drove to the program recording location in the suburbs of the northern city.

After getting off the bus, the sky was dark, birds and animals were calling, and there was a hot spring hotel between two mountains.

The program crew booked this place to record the first episode.

Mu Chenan got out of the Cullinan and walked to the gate. Chen Yang ran up with a black cashmere coat on his arm.

"Mr. Mu, you haven't recovered from your cold yet, you should wear more clothes."

Perhaps because there are hot springs here, the suburbs are not as cold as the city center.

He raised his hand to refuse to get dressed, raised his chin slightly, and looked around the environment of the hot spring hotel. It was quite good. In order to reduce the need to travel back and forth, he decided to spend the night here.

Ling Qiao smiled and said, "Today's recording is outdoors, Mr. Mu, you still need to pay attention to keeping warm. How about I help you hold your clothes?"

"My assistant is here, so there's no need to bother Mr. Ling."

The man's voice was slightly cold, and he was still as cold and ruthless as ever. Ling Qiao had to spend a lot of effort to get closer to him, and she had already gotten used to his cold personality.

The person in charge of the program team came out to give them a warm welcome. He respectfully led the sponsors to the back of the hotel, where there was an empty lawn with withered grass and bare soil.

There were thirty or forty staff members gathered in a circle, the photographer was recording with his equipment, and the male and female guests in the middle were having a barbecue.

Several people watched from a distance as the person in charge introduced the current recording situation to Mu Chenan and Ling Qiao.

"We have four pairs of men and women from different industries. We have quickly formed a team and entered the stage of getting to know each other. After the recording is finished, we will arrange for the guests to shoot sponsored promotional advertisements."

Ling Qiao took over and asked the person in charge a few questions that she was concerned about.

Mu Chenan put one hand in his pocket and listened quietly.

The male and female guests on the other side were making a lot of noise, and the smell of barbecue wafted into his nose. He looked over there, his calm gaze passing through the crowd, and seemed to see a not very familiar face.

As if possessed by some unknown force, I took a step closer to that direction.

Chen Yang hurried after them, holding his coat. He stood beside Mu Chenan, glanced at the center, and asked in confusion, "That female guest in the light blue sweater looks a lot like Miss Qi."

Mu Chenan smiled coldly.

Does it look like that?

This was Qi Yu, who had disappeared for half a year after slapping him.

There was no way he wouldn't recognize her.

A man brought a cup of warm tea and held the straw to her red lips. She lowered her head and smiled, then took the initiative to lean forward and drink a small sip, then continued to clumsily grill the chicken wings in her hand.

The man patted her shoulder gently and told her to rest. He took her place and grilled the food smoothly.

She watched him operate carefully and attentively, perhaps wanting to learn. She also noticed the sweat on the man's face, so she pulled out a tissue and handed it to him. The man smiled and deliberately lowered his head to move closer.

I don't know if she is shy or embarrassed.

Helplessly, she raised her hand to wipe the sweat off the man's face, her eyes gentle and her movements soft.

Mu Chenan narrowed his eyes slightly, his emotions unclear.

Qi Yu actually went on the show to fall in love with a strange man. What on earth is so confusing to her?
