Chapter Sixty-Six: Su Muchi is Jealous
"What did you say? You're the new general manager of the Zhou Group?"
Qinglan seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and let out an undisguised contemptuous sneer from her nose.
She crossed her arms, stepped forward, and said in a stern tone:
"Su Su, did you get so cocky after winning an award that you don't even know who you are anymore? You probably don't even know who the owner of the Zhou Group is, do you? It's the Huo Group! The Huo Group from Kyoto! Not that Fu Group you've been longing for!"
The two assistant anchors behind her immediately echoed her in a knowing tone, their voices shrill and piercing:
"Exactly! She won the Jiangcheng Annual Anchor Championship and now she thinks she's all that, even confessing her feelings to Young Master Fu from afar. I've never seen anyone so eager to climb the ladder!"
"That's not all! You guys don't know, do you? She's the woman who knelt down in Jiangcheng Square to propose to Young Master Fu and was ridiculed by the whole internet! I even saw the exposé post last night, but it was gone in a second as soon as I clicked on it! She must have slept with Young Master Fu. Her PR speed is faster than a rocket!"
Su Muci frowned slightly upon hearing the news that the "exclusive information was deleted immediately".
As she suspected, the recording couldn't possibly have been without negative consequences; it was just that an invisible hand was manipulating things behind the scenes, cleaning up all the dirty laundry and negative comments.
Who is it that can so easily control the media and public opinion?
Just as Su Muci was pondering, Sister Loulan couldn't help but step forward: "Everyone, please don't talk nonsense. We're all in this industry. Haven't we seen enough malicious editing, slander, and defamation online? Just listen and let it go. Why take it seriously?"
"Loulan!" Qinglan's face darkened, her tone carrying a blunt warning, "You're a veteran in this circle, I advise you to open your eyes and not choose the wrong side! A woman like her, who's single-mindedly focused on marrying into a wealthy family, won't last long! If you speak up for her now, you're ruining your own future!"
Loulan wanted to say something more, but Su Muci shook her head at her: "Master, there's no need to waste your breath on them."
After speaking, Su Muci's gaze passed over the domineering Qinglan and landed on Assistant Xu, who was rushing over from not far away.
When Zhou's anchors saw Assistant Xu, a smug look instantly appeared on their faces: "Look! He's Assistant Xu, who was directly assigned from the president's office of Huo's Group!"
"With Assistant Xu's arrival, some people's daydreams of becoming general manager are about to be shattered!"
Qinglan adopted her usual arrogant demeanor and preemptively ordered Assistant Xu, who had rushed over: "Assistant Xu! You've come at the right time! Someone here is impersonating the group's new general manager. Call security right now and throw her out!"
Assistant Xu was taken aback by this abrupt statement. "Impersonating the general manager? Ms. Qinglan, is there... some misunderstanding?"
"Misunderstand?"
Qinglan raised her voice, her tone becoming even more aggressive, "Assistant Xu, I think you're new here and don't know the rules! The Zhou family may have fallen, but I, Qinglan, am still the champion anchor of the year in Jiangcheng radio for five consecutive years! I was personally invited by your Mr. Zero to renew my contract!"
"If you keep dawdling here and don't get rid of this imposter, don't blame me for reconsidering the contract renewal with your new general manager!"
The other two anchors immediately chimed in: "That's right! If Sister Lan doesn't renew her contract, we won't either!"
"That's right! We stand with Sister Lan through thick and thin!"
Assistant Xu's expression changed, and he looked somewhat embarrassed. He turned his gaze to Su Muci again, with a questioning tone.
Su Muci remained calm and composed, simply uttering a few words: "Then let's handle it according to the rules. Let's get going."
Upon hearing this, Assistant Xu nodded, quickly picked up his phone, and dialed the internal line: "Security department? Immediately send a few people to the VIP lounge on the first floor. There are people disrupting the order here, and they need to be asked to leave."
Less than a minute later, four security guards walked over.
Qinglan looked down at Su Muci with a cold scorn and said, "Su Su, don't go to the wrong door again next time. You only deserve to hang out in a poor, remote place like GX Radio Station!"
Before he could finish speaking, Assistant Xu said to Qinglan, "Miss Qinglan, please!"
Qinglan's face stiffened: "Assistant Xu, what are you doing? I'm Qinglan! I'm the biggest livestreamer in the Zhou Group! You're the one who needs to be fired!"
She pointed angrily at Su Muci.
Assistant Xu gave a signal to the security guards, and two guards stepped forward, one on each side, and grabbed Qinglan's arms.
"Ms. Qinglan, I'm sorry, but please cooperate with our work and leave here."
"you!"
Qinglan's exquisitely made-up face was contorted with anger and humiliation. She turned to Assistant Xu and said angrily, "How dare you disobey Mr. Zero's arrangements! I was personally invited by Mr. Zero to renew my contract!"
Assistant Xu said firmly, "I'm sorry, Ms. Qinglan, but Mr. Zero said that if his arrangements conflict with General Manager Su's arrangements, then we will follow General Manager Su's arrangements!"
General Manager Su?
Qinglan forgot to breathe, her face pale as she looked at Su Muci: "You really are the new general manager? But you're just a radio newbie, what makes you think you can be the general manager!"
The other two anchors, who had just been clamoring to stand with Qinglan through thick and thin, were also shocked.
"Is Su Su the general manager of Zhou's Radio Station?"
"She's only been in the industry for a short time. What ability does she have to lead Zhou's Radio?"
Looking at the unwilling trio in front of her, Su Muci calmly corrected them: "You're wrong. I'm not the general manager of Zhou's Radio Station. From today onwards, this place will be officially renamed Su's Radio Station."
Upon hearing that even the company name needed to be changed, Qinglan became even angrier: "Change the name?! Zhou's Radio is a household name in Jiangcheng's radio industry! Even if you are the new general manager, the company behind the group is the Huo Group. Do you think you can just change the company name as you please?"
However, the next second—
Assistant Xu replied respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Su, we will register the new company name as soon as possible!"
Qinglan: "!!!"
Su Muci didn't want to see these people anymore, so she directly ordered, "Take them away."
Immediately afterwards, four security guards kicked the stunned Qinglan and the other two female anchors out of the company's gate.
The remaining Zhou family anchors stared in disbelief as the Zhou family radio station, which had once dominated with "Qinglan," was now under the "Su" name.
Seeing how decisively Su Muchi resolved her major concern, Sister Loulan couldn't help but show admiration in her eyes.
"Su Su, you've changed."
When Loulan mentioned it, Su Muci was slightly taken aback. She had indeed become more confident than before without realizing it.
She unconsciously looked up, her gaze piercing through the still-unsettled noise and landing on the man leaning against the wall not far away.
His deep gaze met hers from afar, his tall figure exuding an air of ease yet commanding presence.
He simply stood there, without a word or a movement, yet Su Muci felt an invisible strength, as if a voice was telling her: as long as he was there, she could face any storm without fear.
In that instant, she suddenly understood.
Why was she able to handle the situation so calmly in the face of Qinglan's aggressive behavior and the doubts and ridicule from those around her?
Because when she felt that she was of lowly status and not good enough for him, he told her, "Miss Su, I will make you worthy of everything in the world."
When she received the valuable jewelry and felt it was too expensive, he told her, "Miss Su is the most precious treasure in the world."
When she broke the radio record for the first time and thought she was just lucky, he told her, "It's not luck, it's because you deserve it."
It was he who helped her regain her confidence time and time again, and overcome her past inferiority complex.
Her confidence stemmed from him.
This feeling was both unfamiliar and incredibly exciting.
Suddenly, a figure flashed past in front of me.
Loulan walked past Su Muci and headed towards Huo Zhan's direction, the two getting closer and closer...
When she was only fifty centimeters away, she noticed that Huo Zhan's expression was very gentle and doting.
He pushed open a door and disappeared from her sight along with Loulan.
Su Muchi's pupils trembled unexpectedly.
Could the person Junjun mentioned who she loves be...?
