Madam, Please Behave-Chapter 264: Love Mentor Liu Changqing

“I want a relationship based on mutual feelings! She should love me, and I should love her too! I don’t want a love that’s just maintained by money—that’s not what I’m looking for!”

“…”

Liu Changqing remained silent.

Realizing he had just exposed himself, Chen Dafu tried one last desperate attempt at denial.

“Uh… I just got a little too into character…”

“That’s not the point.”

Liu Changqing cut straight to the chase.

“To be honest, you don’t have striking looks, a high degree, or a strong personal charm. Everything about you is just… how do I put it? Basically, you’re average. If you don’t showcase your strengths, why would any girl like you?”

“There must be someone!”

“What’s your strength?”

“My strength… My strength is… My…”

As he spoke, Chen Dafu’s voice grew weaker, and his brows knitted together.

Because of Liu Changqing’s question, he suddenly realized—aside from money, he really didn’t seem to have any strengths.

The moment that truth hit him, his expression turned to one of horror.

He refused to believe that he had no redeeming qualities.

But now that Liu Changqing had pointed it out, the world suddenly seemed a lot dimmer.

He… could no longer be as happy as before…

“I… I don’t have any strengths…”

“No, you do!”

Liu Changqing’s words were like a beacon of hope in the darkness, instantly reigniting the fire in Chen Dafu’s heart.

The dejected young man lifted his head, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He wanted to know—what was his strength?

Noticing his expression, Liu Changqing thought for a moment before speaking.

“You have thicker skin than most people. That shameless spirit of yours is actually your biggest strength!”

“…Huh?”

“Don’t underestimate it. Take sales, for example—people with thick skin tend to land more deals than those who are shy. Out of all the men I know, you have the thickest skin!”

“…Why does that not sound like a compliment?”

“But it is a compliment, Dafu!”

Looking at the silly guy in front of him, Liu Changqing decided to give him some emotional encouragement.

“Everyone has strengths, and no matter what they are, they’re still shining points. What you need to do now is attack! Go after the girl you like, unleash that shameless spirit of yours, and chase her down with everything you’ve got!”

“…Do you think that’ll work?”

“I think it will.”

Liu Changqing stood up, walked over to Chen Dafu, and placed a firm hand on his shoulder, his expression serious and sincere.

“I believe in you—you will find true love.”

“…Really?”

“You have to believe in yourself!”

Liu Changqing raised his voice.

“Come on, say it out loud! Do you have confidence?!”

“I… I have confidence…”

“Too quiet! I can’t hear you! Do you have confidence or not?!”

“I have confidence.”

“Louder! Did you skip breakfast?!”

“I HAVE CONFIDENCE!!!”

Chen Dafu got so hyped up that his face flushed red. He jumped to his feet, raised his fist, and pumped it up and down.

“I HAVE CONFIDENCE!!! I HAVE CONFIDENCE!!!!”

“Can you do it?!”

“I CAN DO IT!!! I CAN DO IT!!!”

“Very good!”

Liu Changqing patted Chen Dafu on the shoulder, nodding in satisfaction. Then, he turned around, opened the desk drawer, pulled out a file folder, grabbed his phone from the table, and walked toward the door.

As he left, he casually said,

“Keep shouting for a while. Get yourself completely filled with confidence.”

“I HAVE CONFIDENCE!!!”

Hearing Chen Dafu’s heartfelt roar, Liu Changqing pushed open the office door and stepped out.

The moment he shut the door behind him, he let out a long sigh.

Now I finally understand why this guy keeps getting scammed.

Raising his head, Liu Changqing suddenly noticed that the employees outside were all looking at him.

Realizing this, he immediately straightened his back, his expression turning serious.

Seeing this, the employees quickly lowered their heads and focused back on their work.

Liu Changqing glanced around once before preparing to leave. He slipped his phone into his pocket but hadn’t taken more than two steps when he saw Feng Qian rushing toward him.

Just as Liu Changqing was about to greet him, Feng Qian spoke up.

“Old Liu, where did you put that document I gave you last time?”

“It’s in my office drawer, second shelf. Go check for yourself.”

“Got it.”

Feng Qian was about to head over, but before he could move, Liu Changqing suddenly grabbed his arm, stopping him in his tracks.

Their eyes met.

Liu Changqing narrowed his eyes, staring at Feng Qian’s forehead.

Finally, he noticed something different about Feng Qian today.

Usually, Feng Qian slicked his bangs back, giving himself a more mature look. But today, he had let his bangs down, making him look much younger.

Liu Changqing thought about it for a moment but couldn’t figure out why. Unable to hold back his curiosity, he asked with suspicion,

“…You wanna start dating too?”

“What the hell are you talking about?”

Feng Qian followed Liu Changqing’s gaze and suddenly realized what he meant. Raising a hand, he pushed his bangs aside and explained.

“I accidentally bumped my forehead. Got a bruise. Had to let my hair down to cover it.”

“No wonder. I thought you were trying to look younger to flirt with your kid’s homeroom teacher…”

“Can you be serious for once?”

“Whatever, go get your stuff. I’ve got somewhere to be.”

With that, Liu Changqing headed for the exit.

Feng Qian, curious about the file folder in Liu Changqing’s hand, glanced at it but didn’t overthink it. He turned and walked toward the office.

The moment he reached the door, he heard shouting from inside.

Though confused, he still pushed open the door.

Inside, he saw Chen Dafu standing by the window, shouting at the top of his lungs.

“I HAVE CONFIDENCE!!”

“…Uh, Boss Chen, what exactly are you doing?”

Chen Dafu froze, turning to look at Feng Qian, who had just entered and shut the door behind him.

Since he had been shouting so hard, he was feeling a bit lightheaded from lack of oxygen. He took a few deep breaths before raising his hand to greet Feng Qian.

“Good morning, Brother Feng!”

“…”

That weird way of addressing him made Feng Qian feel a little uncomfortable, but he still nodded in response.

“…Good morning, Boss Chen.”

After exchanging greetings, Chen Dafu suddenly remembered that he hadn’t finished his sauce-flavored pancakes yet. So he sat back down and decided to eat first before shouting some more.

Meanwhile, Feng Qian walked over to Liu Changqing’s desk and retrieved the document he needed from the drawer.

Just as he was about to leave, his gaze fell on Chen Dafu, who was wolfing down his food.

Curiosity sparked in him.

Feng Qian stopped.

“…Boss Chen, what were you shouting ‘I have confidence’ for?”

“Old Liu told me to. He said it’d boost my confidence and work wonders when it comes to dating.”

“…Dating?”

Feng Qian was baffled.

This was the first time he had heard that shouting could improve someone’s dating life.

Shaking his head, he was about to leave when—

Chen Dafu suddenly froze mid-bite, then looked up and called out.

“Brother Feng, wait a second!”

“…What is it?”

Feng Qian turned around, looking at Chen Dafu’s serious expression.

He had no idea what kind of weird nonsense this guy was about to pull.

Deep in thought, Chen Dafu carefully considered something.

Feng Qian has a daughter. That means he’s been in a relationship before.

Plus, he’s pretty good-looking… That means he must have plenty of dating experience.

And as the saying goes—compare multiple sources before making a decision…

Maybe I should ask him too?

At this thought, a sly smile appeared on Chen Dafu’s face.

He grabbed his sauce-flavored pancake, got up from his seat, and walked toward Feng Qian.

Seeing this, Feng Qian instinctively took a step back.

“…Boss Chen?”

“Old Feng… I can call you that, right?”

“…Uh, yeah… I guess.”

“Great, Old Feng… I’ve got a question for you.”

“…Go ahead.”

Chen Dafu’s face grew incredibly serious, as if carefully choosing his words.

Seconds ticked by.

Feng Qian stared at him, waiting.

Finally, Chen Dafu lowered his voice and said,
