As a villain who transmigrated, all I want is to survive.

Lu Minghai coughed lightly: "My brother Mu has been so engrossed in his work lately that he's lost weight, so..."

He looked at Su Xueyi, fiddling with the pen in his hand.

"I originally thought you didn't like my brother Mu anymore, so I brought two bodyguards with me, intending to threaten you if you didn't agree to my proposal."

“But now it seems we don’t need it anymore.” Lu Minghai spread his hands.

The bodyguard behind him took out a document.

"This is a contract. As long as you agree to pursue Brother Mu, I will personally give you a sum of money." Lu Minghai gestured for Su Xueyi to look at it.

However, Su Xueyi pushed the contract back.

Lu Minghai frowned slightly.

"What do you mean? You disagree?" He looked like he was about to explode at any moment.

Su Xueyi wasn't in a hurry and touched her earring.

“For me, feelings are not a bargaining chip, and I don’t lack money. Pursuing Mu Qingfeng is my own goal, so I won’t sign this so-called contract,” Su Xueyi explained.

Hearing her words, Lu Minghai calmed down and gestured for her to continue.

“But if I pursue Qingfeng with such fervor, he definitely won’t agree. So…” Su Xueyi rested her chin on her hands.

"I need your help, my good brother, is that okay?" She blinked and looked at Lu Minghai.

Lu Minghai clapped his hands: "Of course!"

Now my brother won't have to worry about his love life anymore!

Su Xueyi stood up and extended her hand to Lu Minghai.

"So, it's a pleasure working with you?" Su Xueyi raised an eyebrow.

Just as Lu Minghai was about to reach out his hand, his phone's messaging app suddenly started ringing incessantly.

He shook hands while taking out his phone.

My hand trembled slightly when I saw the message on my phone.

His smile was somewhat stiff as he said, "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Seeing his state, Su Xueyi asked with some curiosity, "What news has put our young master Lu in such a difficult position?"

Lu Minghai looked at Su Xueyi with a troubled expression, and after about a minute, he slowly spoke.

"It's over. Our cooperation might fall through before it even starts. Big Brother's white moonlight is coming back."

Su Xueyi sat down, looking somewhat disappointed.

They were all in the same circle, and she had heard about them to some extent before.

Mu Qingfeng's "white moonlight" was a graduate of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, who later went abroad for further studies.

The financial management program at Shanghai University of Finance and Economics is one of the best in China.

Back then, thanks to her own abilities, she was invited by a Fortune 500 company before she even graduated.

However, she resisted the temptation and resolutely chose to go abroad to continue her studies.

Su Xueyi snapped back to reality, clenched her fist, and said, "He's just a white moonlight, he's all in the past."

She, Su Xueyi, is also one in a million; she is no less than that so-called "white moonlight."

Su Xueyi believed that as long as she was sincere, Mu Qingfeng would definitely be moved by her.

At 11 PM, Fengming Company...

After the meeting, Xu Jing and Mu Qingfeng organized all the content from the day, and before they knew it, it was quite late again.

"Chairman? Do you have time later? I'd like to invite you to dinner." Xu Jing couldn't hide his joy.

Mu Qingfeng tidied up his things and stretched.

"I've basically finished everything I needed to do recently, and I can finally stop working overtime starting tomorrow."

"You've worked hard too. I should be the one treating you to a meal. Without you, the company wouldn't have made such progress today." Mu Qingfeng patted Xu Jing on the shoulder.

"Chairman, it's not like we're going to a fancy place. I was thinking that if I were to treat you to dinner, we should go to a nicer place."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "But to me, you are a mentor in my life, so I'd like to invite you to my favorite barbecue restaurant, just like a friend."

Mu Qingfeng knew that Xu Jing's words came from the bottom of his heart.

"In that case, I shall respectfully accept your offer." He then stood up and laughed.

The barbecue restaurant is not far from Fengming Group.

Xu Jing skillfully ordered what he wanted to eat and handed it to Mu Qingfeng.

"Chairman, I wonder what you'd like to eat? Please take a look," Xu Jing said with a smile.

Mu Qingfeng clicked his tongue: "Xu Jing, there's no need to be so polite. You're younger than me, so just call me 'brother' outside the company."

"This isn't a good idea," Xu Jing said, scratching the back of his head.

At times like this, he truly resembles a recent graduate, completely lacking the composure he displays at the company.

“Call me whatever you want. You should be more childlike like you are now. At the company, you look like you’ve aged ten years.” Mu Qingfeng said with a laugh.

While the two were chatting and laughing, Ye Aotian had been waiting at the food stall for quite some time.

It's almost midnight already, I hope Xu Jing isn't coming today.

Ye Aotian was a little annoyed. He raised his hand and shouted, "Give me another pitcher of beer!"

"Sir, you've had quite a bit to drink. Would you like me to notify a friend to come pick you up?"

The shop assistant noticed that Ye Aotian had already sat there alone and drunk three cases of beer.

If they keep serving him beer like this, and he gets sick from drinking it, their store can't afford the responsibility.

"Stop talking nonsense! Just go for it, my friend will be here soon!" Ye Aotian's words were mumbled.

The shop assistant, having seen this situation many times before, simply shook his head and turned to leave.

Xu Jing and Mu Qingfeng had already placed their order and were calling the waiter over.

"Brother Chen, could you please bring these things here, and then two more bottles of beer?"

Xu Jing seemed to know the shop assistants very well.

"It seems you come here often?" Mu Qingfeng asked casually.

"Okay, Xiao Xu brought a new friend today." The shop assistant, Brother Chen, put aside the unpleasantness from earlier.

At that moment, Ye Aotian seemed to hear a familiar voice.

He stood up unsteadily and immediately saw Xu Jing.

Mu Qingfeng was stopped by the shop assistant and said, "I'm going to the restroom."

No sooner had Ye Aotian left than he staggered up to Xu Jing.

He grabbed Xu Jing's hand and held it with both hands.

"Xu Jing, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting for you all night!" Ye Aotian was so excited that tears were about to fall.

The people around watched this scene with curiosity.

What kind of drama is this?

A grown man holding another grown man's hand—is this a confession of love?

Xu Jing instinctively tried to pull his hand away.

However, Ye Aotian held on tightly.

"Who are you?!" Xu Jing shouted.

He saw people around him talking about it, and some even said that the two of them were a couple, and his face turned even uglier.

The waiter, Brother Chen, came over and quickly said, "Xiao Xu, this guy has been drinking here all night, saying he's waiting for a friend. I think he's gone mad. I'll get you a different private room."

Ye Aotian frowned in displeasure and waved his hand.

"Get out of the way! Xu Jing is the friend I've been waiting for!"

He turned to look at Xu Jing and said with a smile, "Xu Jing, I've been waiting for you for so long! I'm your mentor!"

Xu Jing sized up Ye Aotian for a while; he looked somewhat familiar.
