บรรณาธิการ: Atlas Studios
Qiao Yushan really got herself into trouble with her parents this time. She had only wanted this man to help her out of a jam, but who could have expected that her parents would actually show up in Feng City, and they were going to arrive in half an hour. Now the lie had been told, and there was no taking it back; she could only continue to weave this tale.
If she confessed to lying, she would definitely face her father's wrath and her mother's nagging, the thought of which was enough to drive anyone insane.
Finding a man to impersonate her boyfriend was a matter that indeed required caution, but there were two reasons she chose this man, Su Weifeng.
First, this man was not greedy for money. Either he was wealthy, or he possessed a noble character, both of which were acceptable to her.
Second, the way Su Weifeng looked at her. Although there was a hint of licentiousness, it was more admiration than possession and desire.
Of course, there was also a crucial point: there was only half an hour left, and where could she possibly find someone more suitable?
"My name is Su Weifeng, twenty-six years old, joined the army at eighteen and just got discharged this year. I'm currently unemployed. My father, Su Qiangguo, is fifty-four, and my mother, Shen Jie, fifty-three; both are ordinary employees at a state-owned enterprise. Remember these details to avoid slipping up in front of my parents."
As soon as she got into Qiao Yushan's Mercedes, Su Weifeng said this seriously.
Qiao Yushan was taken aback. Shouldn't she be the one to start this conversation? It felt as though this guy was even more eager than she was to find a woman to play the role of his girlfriend.
"Alright, I've got it. My name is Qiao Yushan, twenty-five years old, CEO of Linfeng Company. My father, Qiao Yuanzheng, is fifty-five years old, my mother, Song Yuru, is forty-seven. My father is in the military with the rank of senior colonel, and my mother is a civil servant, the head of the District Finance Bureau."
"Impressive, you come from a distinguished family," said Su Weifeng, giving Qiao Yushan a thumbs-up and nodding his head. "With your background and looks, my parents will be very pleased."
Qiao Yushan's mouth twitched. Pleased my foot. I'm not even your real girlfriend, she thought, saying, "Well, with your current status, my parents definitely won't be satisfied. We'll need to make some adjustments."
"How do we adjust?"
After pondering for a moment, Qiao Yushan said, "We don't need to change your parents' conditions; my parents don't care that much about that. But what's really important is personal ability. You can't say you're unemployed. From now on, you're the deputy general manager of Pingyang Company. Start researching Pingyang Company's information and memorize it."
"Holy moly, just pretending to be the deputy manager of some company? Won't that easily be exposed?"
"Pingyang Company is a partner of our company. I can give their boss a heads-up, so we won't be found out. As a manager, apart from understanding the company's operations, you also have to behave and speak like one," said Qiao Yushan.
Qiao Yushan turned to look at Su Weifeng and said, "You'd better not be so frivolous; my father is very traditional and dislikes it when young people are flippant."
"Maybe I'll be an exception..." Su Weifeng, with his hands behind his head, shrugged his shoulders upon seeing Qiao Yushan's stern face and said, "Go on, I'm listening."
During the twenty or so minutes it took to drive to the station, Qiao Yushan had been instructing Su Weifeng the whole way, not knowing how much he would actually remember.
After parking the car, Su Weifeng and Qiao Yushan headed toward the station exit together. Su Weifeng turned his head and smiled at Qiao Yushan, saying, "Haven't you forgotten something?"
"Forgotten what?" Qiao Yushan turned her head to look at Su Weifeng.

Su Weifeng pointed at Qiao Yushan, then at himself and said, "Do you think a couple would walk this far apart from each other?"
Qiao Yushan furrowed her brows and walked over to Su Weifeng's side.
Su Weifeng gently shook his head and said, "Have you never been in a relationship before?"
"What now? What's wrong?" Qiao Yushan's brows were knotted in confusion.
Rolling his eyes at Qiao Yushan, Su Weifeng said, "Even if you don't hold my arm, your face doesn't have to look so bitter and full of vengeance. You should at least have a bit of a sweet smile. If you keep looking like this in front of my parents, you'll definitely give us away. We might as well call off this act altogether."
Qiao Yushan glared at Su Weifeng, her eyes burning with anger, and said, "Are you trying to take advantage of this situation?"
"Hehe…" Su Weifeng chuckled lightly, not bothering to explain, as he just continued to gaze at Qiao Yushan with a smile.
Qiao Yushan felt somewhat embarrassed by Su Weifeng's laughter, took a deep breath, and said, "I'll naturally know how to behave in front of my parents."
"Then I'll leave it up to you. I'm just giving you a heads up," said Su Weifeng with a shrug of his shoulders as he started walking forward.
Watching Su Weifeng from behind, Qiao Yushan couldn't shake the feeling that something was off. Even if Su Weifeng was co-operating with her, she should be the one in charge, right? How come it felt like he was the one calling the shots now?
She was the CEO of a company with assets worth hundreds of millions and over three hundred employees, yet now she found herself being led by a man without even a job. It truly was baffling.
Before she could reflect any further, she saw her parents coming out of the station exit, and her heart immediately tightened with nervousness. She hurried to catch up with Su Weifeng and whispered in his ear, "My parents are here. As long as you perform well, I'll make sure to reward you handsomely later."
Flashing her a toothy grin, Su Weifeng said, "I don't need a big reward. Just remember, my performance is the example you'll have to follow in front of my parents in the future."
Meeting Su Weifeng's gaze, Qiao Yushan nodded lightly, "Okay!"
"Mom and Dad! Why are you here without telling me in advance?" As she greeted the middle-aged couple, Qiao Yushan complained as she took her mother's arm.
"Hmph, you're asking me why I came?" While Qiao Yushan's mother, Song Yuru, spoke, her gaze had already shifted to Su Weifeng.
With an embarrassed smile, Qiao Yushan said, "Why don't you trust me?"
"Yushan, long time no see." Following behind Qiao Yushan's parents was a young man who now stepped forward with a radiant smile for Qiao Yushan.
"Zhao Lianqing!" Qiao Yushan's smile twitched, and her expression instantly became a bit unnatural.
This was certainly getting interesting. Not only had Qiao Yushan's parents arrived, but they had clearly brought with them the suitor they had in mind for their daughter. It seemed that playing the role of the fake boyfriend was not going to be an easy task after all.
