As a villain who transmigrated, all I want is to survive.
Chapter 28 I know you're putting on an act
Seeing that Xu Jing's complexion had improved, Mu Qingfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness, we had already changed our hostile relationship with Xu Jing, but we almost offended him again.
"Chairman, I'm glad you didn't blame me, but he even cursed my mother. My mother is perfectly fine, and he actually said she's dying! He's absolutely insane!" Xu Jing spat to the side.
Mu Qingfeng stroked his chin, feeling that Ye Aotian's words sounded rather strange.
While his mind was occupied with something, his mouth was also busy: "I'm afraid someone will report you to the security bureau and arrest you, which would be a loss for them."
Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, and only after listening to Mu Qingfeng's words did he realize that he had indeed been too impulsive.
He scratched his head and said, "The chairman is right to reprimand me. I will pay attention in the future."
Unbeknownst to them, Ye Aotian was watching them leave from behind.
Ye Aotian touched the corner of his mouth; he had almost been knocked to the ground by Xu Jing's punch.
After he regained his balance, he saw Xu Jing apologizing to Mu Qingfeng, and it was Xu Jing who had just paid for the meal.
The punch Xu Jing gave him made him think that Xu Jing had lost his conscience, but what he just saw made Ye Aotian realize the truth.
Xu Jing must have noticed Mu Qingfeng watching from the side long ago, and that's why he deliberately put on an act for Mu Qingfeng's benefit!
Yes, that must be the case!
After all, his mother was in poor health and needed money, so he couldn't just switch jobs in front of Mu Qingfeng.
Ye Aotian forgave Xu Jing in his heart.
It seems he'll have to find some time in private to have a proper talk with Xu Jing.
Just as Mu Qingfeng and Xu Jing stepped out of the food stall, Mu Qingfeng's phone rang again.
Looking at the caller ID, it was Lu Minghai again.
Mu Qingfeng clicked his tongue and answered the phone: "Young Master Lu, what brings you here now?"
"Brother, don't sound so disdainful of me." Lu Minghai said helplessly.
"Are you with Xu Jing? I heard it from the security guard on duty today when I went back to the company," Lu Minghai complained before asking.
"Why are you going back to the company so late?" Mu Qingfeng asked, puzzled.
Why is the sun rising in the west so late at night?
"I was looking for you. I thought you were working overtime again today, so I came back specifically to find you, but who knew you had already left," Lu Minghai said with a wry smile.
"Don't you even look at what time it is? You're working overtime every day. Do you want me to die at the company?" Mu Qingfeng retorted irritably.
"Didn't you sleep at the company for several nights before? Oh, don't talk about that. Where are you two now? I'm coming to find you." Lu Minghai asked hurriedly.
Mu Qingfeng posted the location of the food stall for Lu Minghai, and in less than ten minutes, Lu Minghai arrived in his sports car.
"Big Brother! Little Xu!" Lu Minghai shouted from the car.
The three of them used to attend classes together all day, so Lu Minghai was quite familiar with Xu Jing.
Moreover, Xu Jing is now essentially the elder brother's right-hand man, his right and left hands.
Xu Jing still greeted him with a measured "President Lu".
"Why are you all standing outside? You're already here, why don't you go in and get something to eat?" Lu Minghai asked after parking the car.
Xu Jing lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly and didn't explain in detail to Lu Minghai.
Mu Qingfeng, however, knew that Xu Jing was always a reserved person, and answered Lu Minghai's question.
"I was planning to go for barbecue, but there were people I didn't like there, so I came out. I haven't decided where to go yet."
If Lu Minghai found out that Ye Aotian was inside, and that he had publicly insulted their company, he would surely go in and make a huge scene.
Lu Minghai didn't think much of it and pointed to a seafood restaurant not far away.
"That seafood place is pretty good, let's go there then. This young master will pay today." Lu Minghai patted his chest.
"President Lu, I've already spoken with the chairman, so I'm treating everyone today," Xu Jing quickly replied.
"Xiao Xu, don't keep calling us Chairman or President Lu when we're out. It makes us seem like we're putting on airs. From now on, just call us Brother Lu and Brother Mu when we're out."
Lu Minghai waved his hand. He hated that kind of thing in the company. He still preferred to address each other as brothers.
The three of them had a hearty meal at a seafood restaurant. Lu Minghai leaned back and patted his stomach.
"Thank you so much, Xiao Xu, for today." Lu Minghai let out a burp.
Mu Qingfeng laughed and kicked his shin.
"How dare you say that? A boss like you, making your employees treat you to a meal."
The three of them had a few drinks, and Mu Qingfeng's face was slightly flushed.
Xu Jing had drunk some wine and became more uninhibited.
"Brother Mu, you're joking. It's what I should do. If it weren't for you helping me find the evidence back then, I would have been kicked out of the company by Team Leader Gao. Not to mention I wouldn't be able to continue contributing to the company like I am today." Xu Jing punched himself twice.
He was truly grateful to Mu Qingfeng; without Mu Qingfeng, he would never have discovered his own great abilities.
And there wouldn't have been any shortage of money for treatment when my mother was sick last month.
Originally, his salary for that month had not yet been paid, but after learning about his mother's illness, Mu Qingfeng immediately arranged for her to be admitted to the best hospital, find the most professional doctor, and pay the medical expenses in advance.
Xu Jing poured another glass of wine, raised it, and said with great emotion, "This glass of wine is to Brother Mu."
Mu Qingfeng waved his hand.
Xu Jing grabbed his hand and said, "Brother Mu, listen to me, don't rush to refuse my toast. This toast is a must."
As he spoke, he wiped away his tears again: "Without you, my mother might not have recovered so quickly."
Seeing that he was crying, Lu Minghai tried to distract him with some lighthearted banter.
"Reverend, reverend, Brother Mu, drink up!" He picked up the wine glass and drank it down by himself.
"Xu, you're quite something. In such a short time, you've made the company better and better. We brothers should toast you."
Lu Minghai refilled the glass; he genuinely believed Xu Jing was formidable.
Although he was just a spoiled brat, it was impossible for him not to be happy to see the company he founded doing better and better.
After another round of mutual compliments, Lu Minghai suggested going to a foot massage parlor for a massage.
Mu Qingfeng looked at Lu Minghai warily. What kind of legitimate place could this guy be going to?
Seeing Mu Qingfeng's gaze, Lu Minghai clicked his tongue and hooked his arms around Xu Jing and Mu Qingfeng respectively.
"Brother Mu, don't look at me like that. I've listened to you and stopped messing around. Today we're going to a proper shop!" Lu Minghai explained helplessly.
Xu Jing felt a little dizzy and didn't know what kind of riddle the two of them were playing.
Lu Minghai called a designated driver to take the three of them to the Tianse Zhidao Foot Bath Shop.
"The massage techniques at this foot massage parlor are very skilled, and they even have a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner on staff who can perform bone setting," Lu Minghai explained to the two people.
Mu Qingfeng looked around and saw that there were quite a few people here, including many girls.
It does seem to be a fairly reputable shop.
After a comfortable massage, Xu Jing said, "Brother Mu, Brother Lu, my dog is waiting for me to bring back some chicken legs, so I can't continue with you guys for the next session today."
