I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

This car is a business model, Chen Ya's first car in Beijing, and his replacement for his electric scooter. So, he didn't consider appearances at all; his main focus was on cost-effectiveness.

But this car is surprisingly easy to drive, with plenty of power and a stable body. Once you get used to it, it can drift on the road just as well as high-end sports cars.

As soon as she fastened her seatbelt, Lu Aiai opened the passenger door, got into his car naturally, and sat down.

Chen Ya stared at her in astonishment.

"What are you doing? How did you get down here?"

Lu Ai'ai didn't even look at him: "I can't sleep."

How did you know my car was here?

"I follow you."

Chen Ya was speechless.

If you say this person is incapable of taking care of herself, how could she have followed me here without me even noticing?

Chen Ya glanced at his watch; another two minutes had passed.

If Lu Aiai is sent up there again, Gu Yuqing's mission will almost certainly fail.

"Fasten your seatbelts! Hold on tight, I'm about to go on a high-speed chase!"

A white light, a beam of white light, shot out like an arrow.

……

After 9 p.m. every night, Tongtian Road in the suburbs becomes a playground for the sons of local powerful and wealthy families. When you pass by here, you may see a dazzling display of various sports cars vying for attention under the night sky.

Guo Qi lit a cigarette and leaned against the Koenigsegg next to him. The car was sexy, and he treated it like his wife.

A rumbling sound came from afar. Guo Qi squinted and said, "Who's here this time?"

"That Venom car from last week, right? It likes to show off," someone chimed in.

"You can tell from the engine sound."

Just as Guo Qi finished speaking, a Wuling Hongguang van sped past like lightning, and the cigarette butt in his hand fell to the ground.

"Who...who is this person? Is he really that arrogant?"

Chen Ya drove Lu Aiai at breakneck speed, arriving at the location indicated by Gu Yuqing's GPS in just 7 minutes.

Luckily, Lu Aiai was in the passenger seat; if she had been in the back, she would have definitely thrown up in the car by now.

"Just wait in the car, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Chen Ya got out of the car, locked the door, and walked towards the sign of the Wanderer's Bar. The parking lot was right outside, and he spotted Gu Yuqing's Porsche sports car at a glance.

As he pushed open the door and stepped inside, his ears tingled from the overwhelming music and drumbeats. The crowd made a deafening noise, and men and women writhed in various places, creating a scene of decadent ecstasy.

Chen Ya frowned as he found Gu Yuqing and Wu Qiutong sitting in a dark, secluded corner, drinking cocktails.

"Is coming to places like this your usual hobby?" Chen Ya sat down next to the two of them.

"I've never been to a bar before, this is my first time. Blame this woman, she insisted on coming to experience it."

"Gu Yuqing pointed at Wu Qiutong and said. She had a straw in her mouth, and her eyes were sparkling. She betrayed her best friend in an instant."

Wu Qiutong immediately retorted, "You were the one who said you wanted to find a slutty, promiscuous place to ruin your image, okay? I'm just going along with you, aren't I?"

"But I never expected it to be such a slutty and promiscuous place. For a good girl like me, this kind of place is beyond my imagination. Who did you come here with?"

"What games should I play? I asked my brother, and that's what his gaming buddy recommended..."

The two were arguing, but the music in the bar was even louder, almost completely drowning out their conversation.

Although Gu Yuqing kept talking to Wu Qiutong, her eyes were fixed on Chen Ya the whole time.

Today, Gu Yuqing wore a black satin dress that draped from her collarbone to her calves. Below the hem were her delicate and lovely ankles, and her white insteps, clad in strappy high heels, had a healthy pink tinge near the side.

"Exactly 30 minutes, right?" Chen Ya said to Gu Yuqing. "Can I go now?"

"Since we're already here, why leave?"

Gu Yuqing casually grabbed Chen Ya's arm. After the physical contact, both of them felt a flutter in their hearts. Gu Yuqing immediately let go of his arm, pretending to play with her hair, and then removed her hand.

“You gave me the task of arriving within 30 minutes, and I have done that. You didn’t say I had to stay here. I have other things to do, so I’ll be leaving now,” Chen Ya said.

"Hey, hey, then I'll give you another task: stay and keep me company, okay?" Gu Yuqing said quickly.

Wu Qiutong had never seen her best friend so embarrassed before, and she chuckled to herself.

"Okay, but please settle the bill for the previous task first."

Gu Yuqing rolled her eyes speechlessly, but still obediently took out her phone and opened the mobile banking app.

Wu Qiutong chuckled beside her and whispered in her ear, "Are you really toying with him? I feel like you're the one being toyed with."

"Shut up." Gu Yuqing said irritably, then looked at Chen Ya with a smile.

"Alright, the transfer is complete. Now, you can listen to me in peace, right?"

Chen Ya nodded.

"Someone's coming over for a blind date later," Gu Yuqing said. "It's a family-arranged thing. I don't want to go on a blind date with him at all, but he's from a very high social class, so I have no choice but to come..."

Chen Ya interrupted her, saying, "What does this have to do with me?"

"I brought you here to give you some courage," Gu Yuqing said.

Chen Ya looked her up and down: "Do you need courage?"

"Are you misunderstanding me? I'm a girl." Gu Yuqing twirled her hands three times in the air, then put them on her hips.

The more awkward the movements, the better.

Seeing Chen Ya's disgusted expression, Gu Yuqing said seriously, "Okay, to be honest, that guy is some kind of young master from Xiongfeng Industries. Do you know Xiongfeng Industries?"

Chen Ya said, "Isn't that a company from western Shanxi? How did it end up in Beijing?"

Gu Yuqing said, "They've been active in the capital lately, probably trying to build some connections. A while ago, somehow they got involved with my grandfather, so..."

"So you were arranged to go on a blind date," Chen Ya said for her.

“Yes.” Gu Yuqing took a small sip of her cocktail.

“Xiongfeng should be a company that started in heavy industry. To be able to do this kind of business, it must have connections in Beijing. Why is it suddenly trying to build connections?” Chen Ya asked.

“You’re very perceptive,” Gu Yuqing said. “They did have connections before, and very strong ones at that, but those connections have faded away. Things just go cold once the person leaves, so they’ve been hiding in western Shanxi for the past few years.”

Chen Ya said, "The decline of heavy industry is an inevitable trend, and they must be worried about it."

Gu Yuqing's eyes grew brighter as she looked at Chen Ya and asked, "I didn't expect you to have such a broad perspective."

Chen Ya smiled but didn't say anything.

Gu Yuqing handed over a cocktail: "This is for you."

"No, I've already driven," Chen Ya shook his head.

“Then you can drive,” Gu Yuqing covered her mouth and laughed. “So your task today is to be our protector.”

"If I can't protect him, I'll run," Chen Ya said decisively.

I can't afford to offend someone of that status right now.

Even if you reveal your four Nobel Prizes and JX's identity, it's still impossible to defend against such a powerful figure trying to sabotage you.

Gu Yuqing smiled and said, "You really are something, you don't even save face for yourself in front of girls."

"You can't risk your life just to save face," Chen Ya said. "So, what do you plan to do?"

"What do you mean, what to do?"

“A blind date,” Chen Ya said, “marrying the young master of such a powerful company would be very important for you and your family, wouldn’t it?”

Gu Yuqing looked down at him with the upper half of her eyes and said meaningfully, "I prefer to live as a chess player, not as a chess piece."

"is it?"

Chen Ya thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

He remembered that today, that strange employee from Gaoshan Capital had suddenly invited him to dinner and asked him about his relationship with Gu Yuqing.

That person might not actually be someone who takes orders from within the company.

As they were talking, a man in a bright blue casual suit appeared at the door.

He was accompanied by a glamorous woman.

As soon as he saw Gu Yuqing, he walked over, then his gaze fell on Chen Ya's face, and he narrowed his eyes.

Chen Ya glanced at the man whose hairstyle was deliberately messy and who smelled of expensive perfume, then looked at the alluring woman beside him.

It seems that Gu Yuqing isn't the only one who wants to give the other party a hard time right from the start.

Chapter 313 The Great Adventure

Despite the alluring woman beside the man, Gu Yuqing's smile remained unchanged.

But his eyes were icy cold.

"Young Master Yi, you didn't mention that you brought a friend along."

Yi Yangbing gestured for the woman next to him to sit down, then glanced at Chen Ya's face and said with a disdainful smile, "President Gu, you didn't tell me you brought a male friend with you."

He looked around and said meaningfully, "And look, it's in a place like this."

Gu Yuqing quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, Young Master Yi, you misunderstood. I'm not blaming you. I mean, since you're also a carefree person, let's just understand each other and go our separate ways after we've finished fulfilling the adults' wishes."

Yi Yangbing's expression changed.

He traveled all the way to the capital to meet Gu Yuqing for a blind date, not just to fulfill a formality.

He really did come with a mission.

The reason he brought a woman along was because he had received intelligence that Gu Yuqing had been getting very close to a man recently.

The woman here was just someone we picked randomly; she was mainly there to bolster our morale.

Unexpectedly, instead of making a big splash, Gu Yuqing seized an opportunity to try and cancel the entire blind date.

Yi Yangbing quickly said, "I still want to get to know President Gu properly. Since it's our first meeting, I was afraid the atmosphere would be a bit awkward, so I brought a female friend along to have some fun."

"Is that so?" Gu Yuqing looked at him with a smile.

"Yes, it's inevitable that there will be some awkwardness when meeting for the first time. If this blind date works out, we will become close comrades and partners in the future. Of course, we should start getting to know each other from now on. If it doesn't work out, we can still be good friends. I don't like those rigid blind dates where we have to reveal our backgrounds to each other. It's better to have fun, chat, and play games together."

Gu Yuqing said, "Then let's have some fun."

Her tone was suggestive.

It doesn't sound like they're saying "just playing around," but rather, "I'm waiting for your move."

Yi Yangbing seemed oblivious to her subtext and laughed: "Then why don't we start by introducing our companions? This is a female friend of mine, her name is Zuo Pingping."

Gu Yuqing nodded, and Yi Yangbing immediately added:

"People in Beijing may not know this, but the Zuo family is a very prominent family in western Shanxi. Zuo Pingping is also quite famous in our area. There's a small circle in western Shanxi, and I'm the head of that circle. The hard requirement for entering that circle is that your family's assets must exceed 500 billion yuan."

After saying that, he smiled and asked, "Do you know Young Master Hou?"

Wu Qiutong asked, "Is it that host from Beijing TV who's been really popular lately?"

"Yes, he's from our Jinxi region. He's always wanted to join my circle, but we just won't let him because, while he's famous, he doesn't meet the requirements."

Gu Yuqing chuckled and said, "You're really amazing."

Her words were full of sarcasm, but Yi Yangbing didn't realize it and thought Gu Yuqing meant it sincerely, so he was very happy.

Yi Yangbing said he didn't like blind dates where people revealed their family backgrounds, but in reality, he was still indirectly revealing his family background.

He turned to Wu Qiutong, who was standing next to Gu Yuqing, and asked, "And who is this young lady?"

"My name is Wu Qiutong." Wu Qiutong put the wine glass to her lips, simply introducing herself without wanting to elaborate.

Wu Qiutong is a member of the Wu family and is Gu Yuqing's best friend, but if she were in Jinxi, she probably wouldn't be able to enter the so-called small circle that Yi Yangbing talks about.

After all, her family doesn't have that much wealth.

"Hmm, and what about this one?"

Gu Yuqing pulled Chen Ya's arm and said, "This is my best friend, Chen Ya."
