"What? You're leaving?"
Before Lin Qingyue could finish speaking, Ye Feng interrupted her.
He looked flustered and didn't give Lin Qingyue a chance to speak, continuing, "My dear Sister Qingyue, the beautiful Qingyue! Why are you leaving? Is it because the salary I offer isn't enough? Or are you dissatisfied with the work environment? Or..."
Ye Feng spoke a torrent of words, leaving Lin Qingyue speechless.
There was no choice!
In the past six months, Lin Qingyue had generated immense profits for Ye Feng.
And Ye Feng had also helped her a lot, allowing him to take whatever he wanted from the aquaculture farm for his livestreams.
Sometimes, for the sake of the livestream's effect, Ye Feng would even go into the sea to catch various rare seafood as livestreaming material.
Sharks, whales, and the like, he had brought in quite a few, directly causing her popularity to soar. In just over half a year, she had gained over ten million followers.
Now, she was a super influencer with over twenty-seven million followers, firmly holding the title of "Outdoor Queen" on the short-video app "Slow Voice."
Therefore, Lin Qingyue was currently the face of Poseidon Company, Ye Feng's god of wealth, his lucky goddess...
If she left, who would livestream and sell fish for him!
Although Poseidon Company's reputation had already been established, without Lin Qingyue, it would be like losing a vital limb.
Online sales would definitely not be as good as before, and they might even suffer heavy losses.
However, Lin Qingyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Sister doesn't mean that! Can you just listen to me finish first?"
Although Lin Qingyue looked young, she was two to three years older than Ye Feng, and she often referred to herself as "Sister." Therefore, Ye Feng sometimes addressed her as "Sister" as well!
"Alright, you speak first!" Ye Feng calmed down and said.
Lin Qingyue tidied her thoughts and said, "Sister is not leaving Poseidon Company. It's just that I have an urgent matter to attend to in the provincial capital today. But it's getting late, and I was wondering if I could trouble you to take me somewhere!"
Hearing this, Ye Feng immediately relaxed and said, "Oh, oh, I see! But why were you acting so shy and hesitant just now? You made me think you were going to resign!"
However, Lin Qingyue looked at him with a hint of hesitation and said, "The reason I was a bit hesitant is that there's something I don't know whether to bother you with!"
"Oh, oh, what is it? Just say it!" Ye Feng said, patting his chest.
Lin Qingyue pondered for a moment and said, "Um... today is my best friend's birthday! I want to invite you to come along! But I'm afraid it might take up your time!"
She knew Ye Feng was very busy, always occupied with something here or there, running around all day.
Normally, if she didn't actively seek him out, she wouldn't see him.
"Not at all! No matter how busy I am, it's not a problem in front of such a beautiful woman like you!!" Ye Feng said with a smile.
Lin Qingyue heard this and smiled, "You kid, you're always so glib! But I like it!"
"Don't worry, I really have time! Wait for me for a moment, I'll just inform them!" Ye Feng said and ran off.
After he briefed Old Master Qin and the other two, he left with Lin Qingyue.
On the boat back to Dongchuan City, Ye Feng suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, Sister Qingyue, I just thought of a problem. It's your best friend's birthday, and you're inviting me? Isn't that... a bit inappropriate?"
After all, Ye Feng didn't know any of Lin Qingyue's best friends, and inviting him suddenly felt awkward.
"No, listen to me! All of Sister's best friends have boyfriends, and they'll all be coming as couples. Most importantly, my ex-boyfriend, that scoundrel, might also be there, so..." At this point, Lin Qingyue suddenly stopped.
Ye Feng was surprised when he heard this and said, "Oh, I get it! So, you're not going to ask me to pretend to be your boyfriend, are you?"
"No, that's right! What's wrong? You're not willing? You know how many people would love this opportunity!" Lin Qingyue said, suddenly leaning towards Ye Feng and winking.
Instantly, a fragrant scent wafted towards him, making Ye Feng dizzy and unable to recover for a long time.
Seeing this, Lin Qingyue covered her mouth and laughed, "Actually, I know you have a girlfriend. If you think it's not okay, then forget it! You can just drop me off at the place then!"
Ye Feng felt awkward upon hearing this, "Uh, well, it's not that it's not okay. It's just pretending to be a boyfriend, after all!"
In the blink of an eye, Ye Feng and Lin Qingyue arrived at Dongchuan City.
Ye Feng was about to drive his "beat-up Audi A3" to take Lin Qingyue to her best friend's birthday party, but the next moment he suddenly changed his mind.
Because arriving in that car would inevitably lead to mockery, as he had been ridiculed many times for it.
Moreover, this time he was pretending to be Lin Qingyue's boyfriend, so a good car was essential.
"What should I do?"
Ye Feng pondered for a moment and quickly came up with a solution.
A few minutes later, Ye Feng was driving a Panamera, taking Lin Qingyue towards Tianqing City at high speed.
Tianqing City, Dongchuan City, and the provincial capital Jinlin City formed a triangle, and the distances between them were not very far.
And this Panamera belonged to Xiao Feifei.
Xiao Feifei's car wasn't just any Panamera; it was a top-of-the-line model, costing two to three million yuan after registration, which was more than enough to make an impression.
By 6 PM, the two finally arrived in Tianqing City.
Lin Qingyue immediately made a phone call to ask her best friend where the birthday party was located.
"What? The birthday party is at the Love Sea Five-Star Hotel?"
Lin Qingyue frowned, a hint of disgust appearing in her beautiful eyes, which Ye Feng found very puzzling.
After Lin Qingyue hung up the phone, Ye Feng asked, "Sister Qingyue, what's wrong? You don't like that five-star hotel?"
"Mm-hmm!" Lin Qingyue nodded angrily.
"Why?" Ye Feng inquired.
Lin Qingyue replied, "Because that hotel is owned by my ex-boyfriend's family!"
"Uh..."
Ye Feng was taken aback when he heard this, then chuckled, "Oh? That's interesting!"
Both of them could sense that there seemed to be some hidden agenda involved.
But since they had already come, they couldn't just turn back now.
A short while later, the two arrived at the Love Sea Five-Star Hotel. After parking the car, they walked straight inside.
Lin Qingyue walked in front, with Ye Feng following behind, creating an extremely awkward scene, like a bodyguard following his employer.
The next second, Lin Qingyue stopped and looked at him, which made Ye Feng very confused.
"Uh, Sister Qingyue, why aren't you walking?" Ye Feng asked doubtfully.
Lin Qingyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why are you following me? I asked you to come and pretend to be my boyfriend, not my bodyguard!"
"Uh, then, how should I act?" Ye Feng asked, confused.
It had to be said that Lin Qingyue was indeed the top influencer. Her aura and charm were very powerful.
Ye Feng was quite good at pretending to be a boyfriend, as it wasn't his first time.
But for some reason, encountering someone as mature and charming as Lin Qingyue completely threw him off balance...
