From then on, although he would wear training clothes as a precaution, he would not deliberately change into them during training.
A few days later, Mu Chen took Qi Qi to a private club again. Qi Qi knew that he was going to meet with He Yao soon.
Although the original owner had never set foot in such a clubhouse before, as a young miss of the Wealthy Class, Qi Qi Qi would often visit such a clubhouse after managing the business. Therefore, facing the extremely luxurious decorations of the clubhouse, she didn't show any surprise.
Today, she was wearing a purple dress, and the close-fitting design very well accentuated her graceful figure. Although the dress was close-fitting, it was also very tightly wrapped.
The first time Mu Chen saw her at the Zheng Family's gate, he did not hide the admiration in his eyes. When he saw his expression, he knew that she was very good at dressing up today. It wasn't because she was boasting, but because she had been in high society for a long time during her first mission.
However, Qi Qi didn't expect that she would run into Mei Hong and Fang Zhijun in a clubhouse with such a high amount of money.
At that time, she was holding onto Mu Chen's arm as she listened to him talk about the things she needed to pay attention to. Just as they passed a corner of the corridor, they almost bumped into each other.
The moment Fang Zhijun saw 7/7, he immediately retracted his hand held by Mei Hong. This sudden action caused Mei Hong to lose her balance and almost fall over. Luckily, she was able to recover her balance in time and didn't make a fool of herself.
After she stood up, she immediately smiled at Qi Qi and Mu Chen. "Miss Zheng, are you here to play with your boyfriend?"
Qi Qi didn't want to bother with her and just glanced at her before she and Mu Chen prepared to pass by them and head towards a nearby room.
However, just as she was about to open her legs, she was stopped by Fang Zhijun's soft call.
"Seventh Brother, wait a moment, you …"
Fang Zhijun glanced at Mu Chen who was next to Qi Qi, then turned to look at her with an appearance of wanting to speak, but then he hesitated. This aggrieved expression caused Qi Qi Qi to feel a pang in his heart.
She didn't say anything and only coldly looked at Fang Zhijun, waiting for him to finish.
Sure enough, Fang Zhijun only hesitated for a moment before continuing with a guilty face, "Qi Qi, I've let you down for what happened earlier, but I've already received the punishment I deserved. If you can forgive me, I'll definitely treat you better, even if … Even if you can't forgive me, I won't blame you. But please don't give up on yourself and go in and out of this kind of situation with people who don't work properly! "
As he spoke, Fang Zhijun glanced at Mu Chen, who stood quietly beside Qi Qi, without saying a word.
Mu Chen did not get angry after hearing this and just lightly smiled, but he still did not say anything. He did not think that it was necessary for him to open his mouth at this time.
Qi Qi heard Fang Zhijun's arrogant words and almost laughed at him. What sort of status did he have to say that he had given up on himself? Was she giving up on herself just because she wasn't with him!? Besides, what's wrong with such an occasion? Fang Zhijun was looking down upon him. Wasn't he, Fang Zhijun, here?
"Where did Mr. Fang come from today?" Is the public service not working well and preparing to get a job here with Ms. Mei? " Of course, Qi Qi knew that they should have come here to see the guests, but she purposely used such words to provoke them. Who told them to not be happy with her?
"Qi Qi, how did you become so sharp? You weren't originally like this?" Fang Zhijun's face was filled with disappointment and grief.
"Oh ~ ~ ~ Really? However, it's not a big deal. In the future, we won't have any chances to meet again, so we don't need to get to know each other too well. I'm sorry, but we still have things to do, so we won't be accompanying you. " With that said, Seventh Seven didn't wait for Fang Zhijun to say anything. The hand that was always on Mu Chen's arm lightly squeezed, signalling the man beside him to leave.
Mu Chen nodded and politely smiled to Fang Zhi Jun and the others before leading Qi Seven forward.
Fang Zhijun blankly stood on the spot, watching as the two people walked to the door of the room that they just came out from. Very quickly, a person came out of the room.
This person originally had a haughty appearance in front of Mei Hong and him, but now, he was bowing and groveling as he faced Zheng Qi and Mu Chen.
This was the first time that Fang Zhijun had realized that he and Zheng Qiqi were actually people from two different worlds.
"Brother Zhijun …" Mei Hong carefully shook Fang Zhijun's arm, trying to pull his attention back.
Looking at her face, the hatred for this woman rose up in his heart. If not for her, he would have been engaged to Qi Qi Qi already, and wouldn't have been chased out of the army to befriend her for the sake of a slight chance for appreciation.
"How many times have I told you that I don't want to come here? I will start all over again with my own skills. I don't need you to find me a second generation official to take the back door."
Fang Zhijun emphasized 'I' one by one in order to show his determination. It was unknown whether he was truly arrogant or was provoked by the coldness in his eyes.
"Sorry, Brother Zhijun, I …" It's such a pity that we gave up just like that. I've asked around, and he has a relationship with the young master of the Mu family, and the Mu family is one of the leaders of the public security system. If we could get in touch with them, with your ability, you will quickly be recognized. "
Seeing that Fang Zhijun's expression had slowed down, Mei Hong continued: "Brother Zhijun, this is not by the back door, it will not go against your principles. This is just to let the higher-ups see your performance and not let any unfair things affect your promotion.
"You saw it just now. The Young Master He you speak of doesn't give you any face at all. How could someone like him be recommended to you if he doesn't see the money?"
In this period of time, after leaving the army and without the halo of Zheng Qi's fiancé, Fang Zhijun had experienced a lot of human warmth. He was slowly forced by reality to compromise more and more, and that was why he and Mei Hong had come here today.
"You don't have to worry about the money. I still have some left over. As long as Young Master He is willing to help, I'll think of a way to raise the money." Mei Hong saw that the situation had taken a turn for the better and hurriedly said in an attentive manner.
Compared to Qi Qi Qi's previous coldness and mockery, Mei Hong's submission made Fang Zhi Jun's heart feel a little better. Now that he heard that she was willing to give up all of her savings for him, he couldn't help but feel his heart soften.
"If you really need money, I still have money to earn. I don't need you to fund it."
After he said that, Fang Zhijun turned around and left the clubhouse.
Mei Hong stood behind him, determination flashing across her eyes. Very quickly, she also quickened her pace to catch up.
Seven Seven Seven sat in a chair pulled apart by Mu Chen. As he sat down, he calmly sized up the scene in the room.
Apart from He Yao, there was another person inside this box. This person was dressed in fashionable clothes, and looked to be in his early thirties. Although he was older than everyone present, he appeared to be very attentive.
"This is …" Mu Chen took a glance at this man, but didn't ask directly. Instead, he turned around and asked Yao He.
"Look at me, I forgot to introduce him first. This is Li Qin, because he is the third oldest in his house, and we all call him Li San'er. I got a lot of things from Li San'er." He Yao took a glance in the direction of seven to seven, then turned around and gave Mu Chen an ambiguous smile.
"Oh ~ ~ So that's how it is. It seems that we still have a lot to deal with!" I hope you can give me more benefits in the future, haha. " Mu Chen looked at Li San'er and smiled. His previous nonchalant attitude had changed, as though he really had a request.
"No, no, Young Master Mu is too polite. If you have any instructions in the future, just say them out. Don't even mention the preferential treatment, it would be my, Li San'er's, honor."
In front of Mu Chen, Li San'er's posture was very low. After filling the glasses with wine for the three people sitting, he did not sit down and continued to speak while bowing: "I know you three still have something to talk about, so I will not disturb you. I have already instructed the clubhouse, if there is anything that you three need, please do so. We will definitely do our best to satisfy everyone's needs."
"Alright, I'll accept your kind intentions. I know you're a busy man, so go busy yourself."
Before Qi Qi and Mu Chen could say anything, He Yao had already told Li San'er to leave. Apparently, he only wanted Li San'er and Qi Qi Qi to meet up, and didn't want them to have any further exchanges. After all, he was still thinking about how to gain benefits from this.
Seeing He Yao's attitude, Mu Chen didn't say anything else, but took the dishes carefully. "You haven't eaten breakfast, so you must be hungry. Have some food first." He Chen reminded Yao, as if no one was around, "You haven't eaten breakfast yet."
Qi Qi turned her head slightly to smile at Mu Chen. The two of them seemed very intimate, but only Mu Chen could see the hint of sweetness in his eyes. It was obvious that he despised them.
"Alright, alright. The two of you, stop showing your love in front of a bachelor like me. I wonder how early your love will die." While holding a pair of chopsticks with fish meat in his mouth, He Yao yelled at the pair opposite of him with the corner of his eyes.
"How are you a bachelor? You have so many female companions, I wonder which one you should take!" Mu Chen was in no hurry to get down to business, so he continued to tease her.
"Qi Qi, you're really too capable. Look at how obedient Mu Chen is. Ever since he returned home, I really haven't seen any other woman by his side."
"Do you think they're all like you, moving genitals?" Qi Qi put down the chopsticks in her hands, picked up the red wine beside her, and took a sip. Qi Qi then glanced at He Yao with a proud look on her face.
"Okay, okay, okay. I said the wrong thing. "Hur hur, I'll say seven. I heard Mu Chen say that you're not planning on returning to the army?"
When Mu Chen touched his nose and smiled ingratiatingly, she turned back to He Yao, "That's right, I also understand that there's no meaning to the army. It's not worth it to waste so many good years there, it's not worth it at all. I might as well take advantage of young age to play a little more, but the old man in the family won't agree to it, so I'll drag it out for now. I've made up my mind not to go back anyway."
