Chapter 175 Corporate City Admission Slots!
When they arrived in front of Xu's house, Xu Muge laughed and said, "Where did you borrow the car from?"
Qin Jiang didn't want her to worry too much, so he didn't tell her about the car accident he had, "My car broke down, so I borrowed one from someone to use for the time being."
"Fine," Xu Muge laughed, "If it's broken, it's broken. Coming here in such a nice car, I bet my parents are going to say you're trying to punch above your weight again."
"Even if you had nothing, I wouldn't despise you. You can be your truest self around me."
A warm feeling swept through Qin Jiang.
"Alright, I'm going back to rest now. Come find me in a few days, and we'll go back to the Xu family together."
The two of them reluctantly said goodbye.

Before long, five days passed.
During these days, Qin Jiang wasn't idle. He had been diligently cultivating, always maintaining the best state of his body and mind. When the time was almost right, he set out from his house to pick up Xu Muge.
In the car.
Qin Jiang received a call from Zhang Haosheng, telling him that the procedures for Xu Muge to join the business city were ready and asking where to send the invitation.
Qin Jiang thought for a moment, "Send it to the Xu family. By then, we should have already arrived at the Xu family. Today, Xu Jiang is hosting a birthday banquet, and they invited us to attend."
The two had a brief chat before hanging up.
At the entrance of Xu Muge's residential complex.
Qin Jiang got out of the car.
On the other side, Du Hao also stepped out of his Maybach.
"Mom, Dad, let's go in Qin Jiang's car. I'm going to speak to Du," Xu Muge said before stepping forward to meet Du Hao, to express her apologies and to ask him to leave.
In the past few days, Xu Muge had repeatedly tried to convince Du Hao not to attend the birthday banquet but failed to persuade her parents, which made her feel quite helpless.
Du Hao frequently visited her home to pay his respects, which made Xu Jinhong and Liu Ya delighted and their approval of him grew.
"Muge, your dad and I would prefer to ride in the Maybach," Liu Ya stopped Xu Muge.
Xu Jinhong looked down on Qin Jiang with disdain, "Your mom and I don't want to ride in someone else's car to the banquet. If people recognize it, see a poor driver showing off in his boss's car, then we'll become a laughingstock!"
"We don't do such face-saving stunts at the cost of our dignity," he added scornfully.
Qin Jiang explained leisurely, "Indeed, this car isn't mine, but the owner isn't my boss; I am the owner's boss!"
Xu Jinhong said disdainfully, "Enough with the tall tales; you haven't even drafted a believable story. How could Mr. Shen be your subordinate? You might fool Muge, but you can't fool us!"
"Qin Jiang, can't you be more practical? I had hoped that by now, you could at least be a realistic and hardworking young man. But look what you're doing!"
Liu Ya was very dissatisfied, "Driving Mr. Shen's car around to show off, and just a few days ago, when Du recognized you, you actually claimed you're the owner's boss! If we married Muge off to you, who knows what hardships she'd have to endure!"
As the words fell, Xu Jinhong and Liu Ya forcefully pulled Xu Muge toward the Maybach.
With unmistakable smugness, Du Hao greeted Qin Jiang, "Junior Qin Jiang, you should return your boss's car. Many people in Jiangcheng recognize Shen Longting's car! It's a symbol of his status!"
"After all, Shen Longting is the big boss of Longting Group. Being his driver is your good fortune, but be careful not to overdo it and embarrass yourself further!"
Having said this, Du Hao opened the car door and personally escorted Xu Jinhong and Liu Ya inside. However, when he invited Xu Muge, she declined.
"Senior Du, actually..." Xu Muge was about to speak frankly, but thinking about the care Du had shown her during their college years, she refrained from speaking her mind.
She steadied her emotions and said, "Senior Du, you take my parents. I'll go with Qin Jiang. After the banquet, I want to talk to you."
Watching Xu Muge walk towards Qin Jiang, Du Hao frowned slightly, his heart filled with secret resentment.
Damn it, what's so special about this pretty boy that Muge is so unwaveringly loyal to him!
"Du, get in the car and head out. If we wait too long, Muge will understand many things. Eventually, even if Qin Jiang bothers her every day, Muge won't pay him any attention," Xu Jinhong said.
Liu Ya agreed, "Right, what your Uncle Xu says is true. Our Muge is single-minded, she doesn't know better until she's suffered. Anyway, Du, you just keep working hard. Your Uncle Xu and I like you a lot."
Hearing this, Du Hao was extremely pleased. His efforts over the past few days had not been in vain. Although Xu Muge was still hard to get close to, at least he had her parents' permission.
As for Qin Jiang, just a poor nobody, a mere driver!
He was going to make him regret it at tonight's birthday banquet!
"Qin Jiang, I'm sorry, my parents have misunderstood you," Xu Muge approached and said pensively, "You've had to endure a lot these past few days, all because I didn't clear things up with Du. After all, he has helped me a lot."
"No worries, I won't take it to heart," Qin Jiang nodded with a smile. He indeed didn't take Du seriously. To Qin Jiang, such low-level individuals wouldn't last long.
Just then, Du Hao drove the Maybach to a stop right in front of Qin Jiang and Xu Muge.
"Xu, I need to tell you something in advance. I wanted to surprise you, but I'm really afraid you may take the wrong path, follow the wrong person, and end up regretting it later," Du Hao said.
At this point, Du's tone shifted, "Mayor Zhang is going to establish a business city in Jiangcheng. Any business that joins the business city will receive official support!"
"I came back this time to look for a good project to develop, and through my relationship with the Xiao family in Jinling, I've successfully secured a spot!"
"I also used my connections and put in a lot of effort to secure an entry spot for you, Xu. I believe you'll be receiving news about it very soon!"
