Xiao Qifeng smiled and said gently, "Since Miss Lu has invited me so sincerely, I naturally can't refuse you. I'll risk my life to accompany you and have some fun."

“What do you mean by ‘my face’?” Lu Wanzheng grumbled in dissatisfaction, then said loudly, “Mr. Xiao himself is very interested in this program, yet he can still say such high-sounding things. He’s shameless.”

The Lu Wanzheng in front of Xiao Qifeng is completely different from the one in front of outsiders.

She could show Xiao Qifeng all her bad temper, or her shy and cute side; that was probably her most authentic self.

Xiao Qifeng has come to realize this over time. In front of others, she is a cold, sharp-tongued person who doesn't like to talk to people, but in front of him, she is the complete opposite.

Just like what she said earlier, if she were saying it to an outsider, it would definitely be a sign of genuine dissatisfaction. But when she said it to him, it meant she hoped Xiao Qifeng would say a few nice things to her, and she didn't mean to blame him.

Lu Wanzheng met his cool gaze, her beautiful eyebrows slightly raised, wanting to hear what he would say next.

A smile appeared on his handsome face.

"I'm really interested in this show. The whole internet knows we're dating, so those unsavory characters won't bother you anymore, unless they can handle my anger."

Moreover, during the time you participated in the variety show, even though you were working, the time was still mine.

How could I not be tempted by a show like this?

When does this show start?

His voice was incredibly gentle, and towards the end, he even seemed a little impatient, hoping to start filming as soon as possible.

At this moment, Lu Wanzheng's mood brightened even more. Meeting his deep eyes, she said, "It seems Mr. Xiao is looking forward to this program. However, as I just mentioned, it is still in the discussion and planning stage. The specific personnel have not yet been determined, and the time is also pending. I will let you know as soon as I have any news."

Her lips curled up, her smile as sweet as ever.

"I'm waiting for your good news."

He said that, but in his heart he was thinking that the show should start as soon as possible, and since both sides were discussing it, it was very likely that the cooperation would be canceled.

To ensure the continuation of this collaboration, he believed it was necessary to invest in the program. This would guarantee that both of them could successfully enter the program, and as an investor, he could demand that the project be launched as quickly as possible.

However, his idea was to invest under Lu Wanzheng's name, so that his identity wouldn't be exposed too early, and Wanzheng would avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Apart from the director who negotiated the investment with her salary, all the other staff members would assume it was her investment, so that outsiders wouldn't quickly say that she rose to power by relying on men.

As for the issue of using men to climb the social ladder, we'll just have to wait and see how it goes after the show airs.

This is also a drawback in the entertainment industry. When people are having a normal relationship, they are always subjected to conspiracy theories by fans and netizens. What is the point of so much suspicion between people?

"Mr. Xiao, please focus on your work."

Seeing that she had explained things clearly, Lu Wanzheng urged Xiao Qifeng to get back to work quickly.

He has already wasted too much time on her, which is not something a corporate president should do.

So she subconsciously reached for her clothes pocket.

Today she was wearing a chiffon long-sleeved denim top with no pockets, and the pockets of her jeans were also empty.
