Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 205 Exposed

Love...hobbies!

The team members behind Chen Feng all wore expressions of existential doubt.

Chen Feng was so excited that his fingers were trembling—if a hobby could reach this level, what would happen if it were serious training?!

He couldn't help but take a few steps forward, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, "Mr. Xie, have you considered participating in professional competitions?"

Chen Feng took out a gold-embossed business card from his pocket and solemnly handed it over. "I am Chen Feng, the head coach of the Jifeng Racing Team. To be honest, I am here today to formally invite you to join us on behalf of the Jifeng Racing Team. You can name your salary and benefits, and the prize money for the competition will be calculated separately!"

Qi Xian stroked the car keys thoughtfully, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes—he had originally thought Xie Qing was just a little better than the average car enthusiast, but now it seemed he had clearly underestimated him.

The name of the Gale Racing Team is well-known in the racing world. They are regulars in the International GT Championship and familiar faces on the podium. Although they always miss out on the championship, the nickname "perennial runner-up" is actually a testament to their solid strength.

For a coach from one of the top domestic racing teams to lose his composure and poach someone on the spot... Qi Xian's gaze slowly shifted to Xie Qing's face, thinking that the other party's skill level had probably already reached the professional ceiling.

To increase the chances of success, Chen Feng added, "We can also discuss the team's equity stake!"

“Very attractive terms.”

Xie Qing glanced down at the business card, and when she looked up again, she was already calm. "But I don't have any plans to enter the racing world for the time being."

Chen Feng was so anxious that a layer of fine sweat beaded on his forehead. He wished he could grab Xie Qing's leg and keep him there. "Mr. Xie, please don't be so quick to refuse. This matter is neither a big deal nor a small one. Please think about it some more."

To be honest, Xie Qing was a little tempted, but the image of Huo Yunting's aggrieved, wet eyes suddenly appeared in her mind, and she immediately dismissed the idea.

"I appreciate Coach Chen's kindness, but it really won't work."

He sneaked out to race cars this time without Huo Yunting's knowledge.

If he were to actually participate in a professional competition, I can't imagine how crazy the opponent would become.

Despite Chen Feng's repeated attempts to persuade Xie Qing, Xie Qing remained unmoved, so Chen Feng had no choice but to leave with his team, feeling dejected.

Six minutes later, the roar of an engine echoed again from the mountaintop—Si Yun had finished ten laps and slowly came to a stop.

Qi Xian leaned lazily against the car hood, twirling the car key between his fingers, a smug smile on his face. "Oh my gosh~~ I've been waiting for so long, you're finally here."

Si Yun slammed the car door shut and walked straight towards Qi Xian. "You didn't drive those last few laps, did you!?"

He knew Jie Qixian's skill level; his near-professional driving skills were something the other party simply couldn't achieve.

"Bingo!"

Qi Xian snapped his fingers and didn't hide anything, turning to look at Xie Qing, who seemed uninvolved, "It's Xie Qing's masterpiece."

Si Yun revealed an expression of "I knew it," and said, "The score doesn't count, let's have another match!"

"No comparison."

Qi Xian refused decisively, "You didn't say we couldn't find outside help."

"Get out of here, uncle!"

Just as the two were about to start arguing, Xie Qing suddenly coughed lightly, "How about this—"

The two turned their heads at the same time. Xie Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled like a cunning fox. "If you both lose, I'll consider it a win."

She paused, then added, "You don't need to dance. Just wear maid outfits and walk around the hotel lobby, how about that?"

Si Yun, as the actual loser, naturally had no objections.

Qi Xian thought about it for a moment—since it wasn't just him who would embarrass himself, he readily nodded in agreement.

The three of them went back after playing for a while, and a few minutes later, Huo Yunting and the other two also returned—luckily, if Xie Qing and the others had been a few minutes later, they might have been discovered.

Huo Yunting sat down next to Xie Qing, who was pretending to fish, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Qingqing, things took a little longer than expected. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Xie Qing touched her nose, then kissed Huo Yunting's cheek. "It's okay, let's go fishing first."

Huo Yunting breathed a sigh of relief: It seems Qingqing isn't angry.

Xie Qing breathed a sigh of relief: it seems Tingting didn't suspect anything.

The group fished for about half an hour before driving back to the hotel. The tank full of live fish was carefully unloaded from the car by the staff and sent to the kitchen for cooking.

As the saying goes, "If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place."

As Xie Qing stepped into the hotel lobby, he spotted the familiar racing suits at the front desk, and alarm bells went off in his head.

Instinctively, she gripped Huo Yunting's wrist and tried to pull away, but then she heard a loud shout—

"Thank you, sir!"

Chen Feng nimbly pushed through the crowd and strode up to them, his face beaming with the joy of meeting an acquaintance. "Mr. Xie, what a coincidence! I didn't expect you to live here too!"

"It's a coincidence indeed."

Xie Qing's Adam's apple bobbed as she tried to remain calm. "We can talk about it later. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

He tried to pull Huo Yunting away, but found that he couldn't budge him at all; the other man stood rooted to the spot.

Huo Yunting sized up the man who had suddenly appeared—he had thoroughly investigated everyone Xie Qing had come into contact with while filming, but he had absolutely no recollection of the man in front of him.

"Qingqing, who is this?"

Chen Feng keenly noticed the two clasped hands and took the initiative to introduce himself, "Hello, I am Chen Feng, head coach of the Jifeng Racing Team."

Her gaze unconsciously lingered on Huo Yunting's sharply defined face—he looked strangely familiar, yet she couldn't be sure.

"The coach of the Gale Racing Team?"

Huo Yunting pondered for a moment, as if thinking, "I'm sorry, Qingqing didn't mention it to me."

"We just met today, Mr. Xie probably forgot to mention it."

Completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere, Chen Feng enthusiastically praised, "Mr. Xie's racing skills are very high, even our team's professional drivers are envious. It's such a pity that such talent isn't being used in professional racing..."

He sighed deeply and looked at Xie Qing with resentment, "Mr. Xie, are you really not going to reconsider my invitation?"

The air suddenly froze. Xie Qing closed her eyes, her mind filled with the thought—it's over, this is it.

Just then, familiar laughter and chatter came from the hotel's revolving door.

"Brother, you should stop here..."

Qi Xian walked in with his arm around Bai Ruizhe's shoulder, but suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap... How come that coach is with his brother?!

Realizing they'd been exposed, Qi Xian grabbed Bai Ruizhe and quickly fled, saying, "Ruizhe and I have things to do, you guys go ahead..."

Si Yun, who was lagging behind, said, "Yun Ting, I suddenly remembered that I also have something to do, so I'll be going now."

Before leaving, he didn't forget to give Xie Qing a "good luck" look.

Xie Qing watched his two "teammates" flee in a hurry, feeling utterly helpless—not a single one of them was reliable!
