In the CEO's office, Nan Xun lazily reclined on the leather sofa. Since entering the CEO's office, he hadn't spoken a single word, only gazing at Zhu Zhu with his dark, night-like eyes. It made her feel uncomfortable, as if all her little tricks had been seen through.
I have to admit that the sober Nanxun and the drunk Nanxun have very different charms.
When drunk, Nan Xun's eyes were blurry, and his whole body exuded a charm that tempted people to commit crimes. But when sober, Nan Xun was unusually cold and aloof, with a somewhat abstinent temperament that kept strangers away.
"Nan... Young Master Nan." Zhu Zhu broke the silence. She felt like she would go crazy if she didn't say something. "I really didn't mean to do anything about the photo. I beg Young Master Nan to be merciful..."
"Unintentional?" Nan Xun raised his eyebrows, then changed into a comfortable posture and said, "The surveillance camera clearly captured you taking photos of my private room with a micro single-lens camera, and you tell me it was unintentional?"
"No... no." Zhu Zhu was confused. She hadn't expected Nan Xun to be so quick and even check the surveillance footage. "Actually, I was with Lu Li that day. I only took photos when I saw Lu Li in your box. My target was really Lu Li. Taking photos of you was purely an accident..."
"Your accident made me the laughing stock of the capital. Everyone thinks I prefer men to women."
Zhu Zhu thought, isn’t this all true?
"Mr. Nan, I know you've suffered a huge loss because of my mistake. How can I compensate you? I'll do anything. I only ask that you spare Shuangzhu Media."
"Compensate me?" Nan Xun's lips curled slightly. This joke was quite amusing. In the imperial capital, someone had the audacity to want to compensate him. Interesting.
"Yes! Yes!" Zhu Zhu saw Nan Xun smiling, as if he was in a good mood, and it seemed like there was something to talk about. "I know this has damaged Young Master Nan's reputation. I can issue a statement through all major channels, saying that the man in the photo is not you, but I took a photo of someone who looks like you to slander you. If you still don't feel relieved, I will resign immediately and never be a paparazzi again."
Nan Xun narrowed his eyes slightly, his cold demeanor diminished a bit, making him even more charming. "That sounds good. But... it feels like he gave in after being intimidated by me."
Zhu Zhu thought, it’s just you who forced me to do this.
"Besides, Miss Zhu is terrible at calculating. I've lost more than just my reputation." Nan Xun stood up from the sofa, strode over to the desk with his long legs, and handed a report to Zhu Zhu. "Since the photos were exposed, Nanyu's stock has dropped 5%. Who do you think will bear this loss?"
Zhu Zhu was shocked when she received the report. She had never expected that a photo could cause so much trouble.
Now that I think about it, who is Nanxun? He's the sole heir to Nanyu International. If he doesn't like women, it means Nanyu will never produce a new heir, which will definitely affect the industry's trust in Nanyu. It's only natural that this will affect Nanyu's stock price.
"Nan... Young Master Nan... I... I..."
When the photoshoot began, Zhu Zhu was solely focused on breaking news to solidify Shuangzhu Media's position within the industry. She hadn't considered the potential for trouble for Nanxun. Now that the truth was revealed, she felt completely ashamed.
Nan Xun took the report from Zhu Zhu's hand expressionlessly and threw it back on the table.
"Shuangzhu Media still has some value. I'll sell it for a good price once I get it." Nan Xun's lips curled, his gaze deepening. "At least it's worth more than in your hands."
