Chapter 55

The brand event schedule was packed with activities, with many segments following the opening ceremony.

Chu Muchao participated in the necessary segments but did not participate in the subsequent entertainment activities or performances, and left quickly.

Despite this, Luo Nansheng stopped her as she was leaving and invited her to meet him in person.

Wu Mi reacted quickly, standing in front of Luo Nansheng like a part-time security guard.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, our CEO Chu has a very important schedule to attend later."

For a moment, Luo Nansheng's face turned extremely ugly.

He then smiled and waved in apology.

"Hehe, I'm really sorry to bother you, Mr. Chu, see you next time."

Chu Muchao glanced at him, then left with Wu Mi and Xiao He.

-

Behind him.

After Chu Muchao left, Luo Nansheng kept a dark expression on his face the whole time.

Whenever subordinates or artists came over, Luo Nansheng would give them a severe dressing-down.

When Su Qian, who had just finished her activities, saw this situation, she casually pulled someone aside and asked.

"What's wrong with Mr. Luo? Who upset him?"

The man looked troubled and whispered, "It's the new CEO Chu from MZ Group. CEO Luo wanted to invite her to dinner, but the new CEO Chu didn't give CEO Luo any face at all and argued with him several times."

"New President Chu?" Su Qian said thoughtfully. "Okay, I understand. You guys go ahead and get busy."

Su Qian, holding a wine glass, sat down next to Luo Nansheng.

"President Luo, today's event was a great success, and I've taken care of everything with the media."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Luo Nansheng's gloomy expression eased slightly.

"Yes, thank you for your hard work."

“It’s no trouble at all to do things for President Luo.” Su Qian raised his glass, indicating a toast.

Luo Nansheng raised his eyes and nodded arrogantly.

Su Qian tilted her head back and finished the wine in her glass. As she put the glass down, she casually mentioned Chu Muchao.

"That newly appointed CEO Chu of MZ Group is still too young. She's just a little girl. I'm really worried about what she'll do with such a big group. Sigh."

Upon hearing this, Luo Nansheng looked up and finally deigned to show his face.

"Hmph, so ignorant."

Su Qian chimed in, "That's right, he's only in his early twenties. I was still learning how to conduct myself from you when I was in my early twenties."

As she spoke, Su Qian poured some wine into Luo Nansheng's glass and raised her glass again to toast him.

Luo Nansheng chuckled, slowly reached out and picked up his wine glass, then raised it towards Su Qian.

Su Qian downed his drink in one gulp again and said, "President Luo, that little girl is ungrateful and doesn't know how to be flexible. If you let me meet her and have some fun with her, she'll naturally understand your intentions."

Luo Nansheng sized up Su Qian.

After he took Su Qian under his wing and mentored her, Su Qian indeed grew rapidly and learned all of his methods.

Qixing Entertainment is now well managed by her and has brought in considerable profits.

It's not just about monetary gains.

Luo Nansheng waved his hand dismissively, as if bestowing a reward.

"Alright, I'll leave it to you. Any resources that are useful, feel free to use them at Qixing Entertainment."

Su Qian smiled and said, "Thank you, President Luo."

In the evening, Chu Muchao invited Xu Sui and Gu Xinyi to dinner at a newly opened outdoor barbecue restaurant located on a small hill in the suburbs.

It takes nearly two hours to get from the event venue to the outdoor barbecue area.

Halfway through the journey, Wu received an email.

It was a press release from a media reporter.

Chu Muchao then realized that publishing her press release required submitting the manuscript to her for review.

Chu Muchao calmly and composedly took the PAD from Wu Mi's hand and began to examine the manuscript.

Xiao He also poked his head in.

This is the first time she has publicly attended a large-scale event since becoming the president of MZ Group.

The press release, however, focused entirely on praising her figure and beauty.

She had heard such praise, whether it was flattery or genuine praise, since she was a child.

But when it appears in a press release, something just feels off, and it doesn't look right.

But if you ask her to specifically explain what needs to be changed... she seems unable to articulate it.

Xiao He voiced his dissatisfaction from the side.

"Besides his physique and appearance, is there no other evaluation or introduction? When I read other people's news articles, they either publicize their recent achievements or praise their past glorious deeds. Why is it that when it comes to our CEO Chu, there is only a description of his appearance?"

"What 'Southern girl' and 'Oriental beauty'? Anyone who didn't know better would think our CEO Chu was the brand ambassador."

Xiao He hit the nail on the head.

Chu Muchao nodded and handed the PAD back.

Wu Mi carefully read it again from the beginning.

He nodded: "Okay, Mr. Chu, I'll have them rewrite it."

Chu Muchao said, "No need. I haven't really achieved anything, so there's nothing to brag about. Just have them revise it and focus on the product."

"Also, please have them revise the part where I'm introduced. I have a double degree in law and management."

Wu Mi: "Yes, President Chu."

When Chu Muchao arrived at the outdoor barbecue area, beef was already being grilled on the stove.

Even from several meters away, you could smell the smoke mixed with the aroma of roasted meat.

Seeing her approach, Xu Sui quickly got up to greet her.

"You little Mu Chao, you look so beautiful today! If I had known you were wearing a cheongsam and your hair was in a bun today, I would have booked a better place!"

"Ugh, I'm craving barbecue so badly, I'm too lazy to go back and change." Chu Muchao's gaze passed over Xu Sui, fixed on the stove. "What's that?"

Xu Sui: "I thought the scallion sausage tasted pretty good last time I had it. I don't know if you can get used to it, but you can try it."

It turns out that the white part inside the brown circle is called scallion sausage.

Next to the scallion sausage, there was a plate of chicken wings and feet marinated with lots of chili peppers and seasonings. There was also a bowl of oil sauce with a dozen or so mushrooms in it, topped with chili peppers, scallions, and other seasonings.

On another tray were several small foil bowls, each containing a cracked raw egg, sprinkled with chili, minced garlic, and other seasonings.

All of them were delicious foods she had never tried before!

Just looking at the color is enough to whet my appetite!

"It must taste delicious!"

Chu Muchao couldn't wait to enjoy the food!

Seeing her licking her lips with such craving, Gu Xinyi smiled and took out the grilled beef.

"Are you that hungry? Here, eat first."

"Ai Xinbao!"

Chu Muchao cheered, picked up a piece of roast beef, rolled it in the dry seasoning sauce, and put it in his mouth.

Wow! It smells amazing! It tastes so good!

Xu Sui couldn't help but laugh at her: "Didn't your brother move out? Nobody cares about your diet anymore, so how come you're craving barbecue?"

"Waaah, you have no idea what it's like to suddenly discover a whole new world after being poisoned by my brother's healthy diet and the terrible food that overseas children always eat!"

Chu Muchao sighed inwardly.

Besides being able to go out for meals with Xu Sui and Gu Xinyi now, I also owe it all to the magical girl system that secretly gives her special treatment!

She finally understood why people, once they've tasted the sweetness of sex, can't turn back.

If she can't eat something satisfying for several days now, she'll really start to crave it!

Hmm, just like Xiang Chuwen!

Gu Xinyi focused on grilling the meat, while Chu Muchao focused on eating.

With nothing to do, Xu Sui was engrossed in gossip on her phone.

Before 8 p.m., photos and news of Chu Muchao's participation in the brand event today had already been posted online.

Xu Sui opened it immediately and was bombarded with Chu Muchao's beautiful pictures.

Wow! Who took this photo? The lighting and angle are perfect! It's so beautiful!

"Huh? It's already posted?"

Chu Muchao tilted his head to look over.

Xu Sui, holding her phone, leaned closer.

"Look for yourself! It's so beautiful!"

The news article introducing the new president of MZ Group's participation in brand activities has been edited, and there is not much information about her.

Besides correcting her academic credentials as she requested, many comments about her appearance were reduced.

After a few short lines of introduction, the product description and promotion begin.

The first and last photos featured her from different angles, while the middle section consisted of product promotion images.

After watching the video, Chu Muchao was very satisfied with the photographer.

"He really took some great photos! They're even better than the ones I used to hire!"

"Right, right?" Xu Sui swiped the screen to the end, "The photographer's name is Jerry... uh, such a common name, where am I supposed to find that? I'd like to book a photoshoot."

Chu Muchao: "I'll ask my secretary tomorrow."

Xu Sui: "Great! If you ask for my contact information, just give it to me! I also want a Republic of China style outfit! I recently found a shop that specializes in handmade cheongsams!"

Chu Muchao wasn't particularly interested in cheongsams.

Or rather, she's not very interested in the clothes and dresses in her wardrobe anymore.

This outfit was specially chosen to complement the product being promoted.

I used to enjoy shopping; it was a leisurely way to pass the time.

Now she starts working as soon as she opens her eyes, and in her spare time she also has to take care of her studies. She's already too busy to keep up.

What to wear? Whatever, she's already reached the stage where she can fall asleep as soon as her head hits the pillow.

I really don't know how Chu Wen could still take care of her clothes and appearance in the past?

"Hey? Isn't this your brother?"

Xu Sui suddenly handed the phone to Chu Muchao.

On the screen is a large image of a profile.

Chu Muchao recognized the person in the picture at a glance.

It's Chu Wen!

Chu Muchao raised his hand and tapped the image.

The screen then redirects to the text version of the news.

Chu Wen, former president of MZ Group, has jumped ship to become CEO of Xiu Ke, pioneering a new path!

Next came a detailed introduction to the industries and products that Xiu Ke Company is currently involved in.

Chu Muchao was stunned.

"Xiu Ke... what kind of company is that?"

Xu Sui and Gu Xinyi also looked incredulous.

Xu Sui said cautiously, "N-I don't know... It shouldn't be yours, right?"

Gu Xinyi quickly said, "First, check which platform posted this. Is it an official account? Is the information reliable? It could also be fake news."

Chu Muchao shifted his gaze from Gu Xinyi's face back to Xu Sui's phone screen.

She scrolled to the top and revealed the account that posted the message.

It is a popular account that specializes in reporting the latest news in the financial world.

"It might... be true."
