Chapter 75
Chu Muchao had the video call on and was scrolling through his phone's photo album to find the photos he had recently taken.
I scribbled for a while.
Her expression was awkward.
Lately, all I've been filming is work-related content—either work-related information or the work environment.
Flipping to an earlier time, she was dressed up beautifully, like a mermaid princess, but there were only photos of her with Qin Ye.
Qin Ye came to that banquet and even spent quite a while taking photos with them on the terrace.
Chu Wen arrived after she and Qin Ye had finished dancing.
It's really not easy to find a photo of her and Chu Wen together.
Feeling guilty, Chu Muchao switched back to the video interface and saw that Chu Wen's expression had become even more gloomy.
Chu Wen, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed that she had switched pages.
He asked in a cold voice, "What, can't find a group photo?"
Chu Muchao felt guilty for a second, then said confidently, "Well, after I went away to study, we haven't seen each other much. We've both been busy with our own things lately, so where would we have time to take a photo together? Do you have a photo of us together on your phone, brother?"
Just as he finished speaking, his phone chimed.
Chu Wen sent over several photos.
There are photos of him taking pictures of her abroad, showing the two of them frolicking in the snow. There are photos of them eating together in a restaurant. There's also a photo of them walking in a Chinatown abroad during Chinese New Year one year, taken by someone; in the photo, they are raising their clasped hands and shouting something.
In the end.
She heard Chu Wen's cold, deep voice coming from the phone.
"What, these photos don't deserve to be saved on your phone?"
"oops……"
Chu Muchao drew out the last syllable of his name, but his fingers moved quickly, finding the cloud drive album in his phone's local photo album.
Finally, she found a photo of herself with Chu Wen!
I took a few screenshots and sent them over.
"Yes, yes, brother, look, I've saved them all!"
"snort."
Chu Wen's tone softened considerably as he said, "That's enough. There's no need to send it. Chaochao, our relationship doesn't need anyone else to witness it."
"Okay, brother."
Chu Muchao responded sweetly.
Chu Muchao and Chu Wen chatted for a while.
Looking at Chu Wen's tired eyes and his gradually becoming hazy dark eyes, Chu Muchao urged him to go wash up and go to sleep.
Chu Wen held his phone with both hands, his gaze lingering on the screen, not blinking an eye.
Chu Muchao's heart softened completely at the sight, and his voice became even softer and sweeter.
"Brother is the best! Go quickly. Wash yourself clean and smell nice before you go to bed."
Chu Wen: "Why are you treating me like a child? I treated you like this when you were little?"
Chu Muchao asked with a smile, "Don't you like it, brother?"
"What grown man would like that?"
Chu Wen said he didn't like it, but his eyes held a deep smile as he slowly got up from the sofa and went into the bathroom.
"Go to sleep, I'm going to take a shower."
"Okay, goodnight, brother."
Chu Muchao waved to the camera and hung up the video call.

The next day.
Chu Muchao was in his hotel room, holding an online meeting with people from the group.
When asked about the recent discussions regarding the change of brand ambassador.
The contract renewal process has begun, but the person in charge is still somewhat worried and took the opportunity of this meeting to find out Chu Muchao's opinion.
Chu Muchao extracted information from the other party's roundabout words and gave a direct and straightforward answer.
"The rumors have been clarified, and I have also responded on Weibo. I have no intention of changing the spokesperson. If the current spokesperson does not have any negative news about their character or other aspects, I think we can continue to cooperate. Frequently changing spokespeople is not good for the brand."
"Okay, okay, I understand, Mr. Chu."
The other party said, "Mainly because the messenger was Secretary Wu. Isn't Secretary Wu the secretary who was personally trained by the former president? That's why I asked out of curiosity."
So it turns out they were questioning Wu's position...
Chu Muchao quickly recalled some of the topics circulating within the company about her and Chu Wen when she first took over.
It seems that the talks and clarifications have not completely dispelled the rumors circulating within the company.
Chu Muchao smiled and said, "Secretary Wu is a very professional and capable secretary, and my relationship with Chu Wen has always been very good. If you hear any rumors of discord circulating in the company, please let me know. I also hope that you will not overthink things regarding our relationship."
Miss Mu Mu, what you're saying isn't convincing.
Chu Muchao: Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I can't exactly tell them, "Stop spreading rumors about the succession struggle, and I'm dating another successor."
【^-^ That's so sharp, oh, I meant Miss Mu Mu's choice of words.】
Chu Muchao: Proving myself is a waste of time. Just say it to dispel the doubts of those who have reservations. It's a fact that Chu Wen left the group to start his own company, and there's nothing I can do to change that.
Is that so?
Getting back to the main topic, Chu Muchao continued the meeting.
After the meeting ended, Secretary Wu initiated a voice call.
“Zhai Jinwu had someone contact me, wanting to arrange a private meeting with you.”
Zhai Jinwu's arrival was unexpected by Chu Muchao.
"Could he be so petty as to hold a grudge against me for signing Xin Qing to protect her, and then take it out on me?"
Chu Muchao found it unbelievable upon hearing this.
After a moment of contemplation, Wu Mi said, "We can't rule out that possibility, although I personally think it's unnecessary. While the technology Zhai Jinwu possesses is rare, it's not entirely irreplaceable. Even if it were, it wouldn't shake the foundation of the MZ Group. President Chu, there's no need to worry."
"I'm not worried."
Chu Muchao rested his chin on his hands, propped them up on the table, and stared at the computer for a long time.
"Haven't rejected them yet, right?"
Wu Mi: "Not yet, I only replied that I would help pass on the message."
Chu Muchao: "Okay, then I'll agree."
Secretary Wu paused for a moment on the other end of the phone.
"President Chu, the former president is also in contact with Zhai Jinwu."
"Huh? What do you want to tell me?" Chu Muchao was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant. "Ah, do you think I want to win over Zhai Jinwu? He's too arrogant, hard to control, and won't listen to me. He's also a hot tech upstart right now. I have no intention of cooperating with him."
“Here’s the thing, the information I’ve received is that the former president’s contact with him wasn’t for cooperation…” Wu Mi paused for a moment, “Zhai Jinwu has a dispute with someone under the former president, probably a patent or copyright dispute, and they’re in the stage of collecting evidence.”
Chu Muchao asked, "Why are you stammering? What's wrong with saying this? Thanks for reminding me, I understand."
Wu explained, "The former president told me about this yesterday, instructing me to remind you to be cautious if you're interested in cooperating with Zhai Jinwu. Besides that, I and..."
“It’s okay, I know. You don’t need to explain or be nervous.” Chu Muchao interrupted him and said, “You’ve been with my brother for so long, and you’ve helped me so much since I took over the company. You’re a good person, and I trust you a lot. I won’t distrust you just because you’ve been in contact with my brother. This doesn’t affect your professionalism or ability.”
Wu Mi breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, thank you, President Chu."
"So much pressure?" Chu Muchao laughed. "Don't feel so much pressure. My brother isn't an outsider, and you didn't leak any company secrets to him. I won't mind."
"yes……"
Chu Muchao smiled and said sweetly, "I don't mind if he occasionally asks you about my whereabouts."
"...I'm sorry, Mr. Chu."
Xiao He listened in stunned silence.
ah?
Does the former president still ask Brother Wu about their CEO Chu's schedule?
Isn't this an informant? Isn't this surveillance?
Their CEO, Mr. Chu, was aware of this! Doesn't Mr. Chu find it terrifying?!
Secretary Wu continued to report on other work-related matters.
Xiao He's phone suddenly received a message.
After Secretary Wu finished his report, Xiao He handed over his phone.
"Mr. Chu, the hotel manager said they saw Wei Ran outside the hotel. Should we ask them to leave?"
Chu Muchao feigned difficulty: "Sigh, Wu Mi, what do you suggest we do?"
“…” Wu Mi said, “Wait a moment, I…I’ll send a message to Mr. Chu.”
Chu Muchao chuckled and said, "Go ahead."
Xiao He was startled again.
Has their boss gone mad from treating them like sisters?! Being monitored is abnormal, boss! You should resist!
"...You have to resist!" That's what your secretary was screaming in her heart.
Chu Muchao: ...Thank you for relaying this.
【^-^ I also think that Miss Mu Mu is a little bit (a little bit of a hand gesture.jpg) love-struck.】
Chu Muchao: It's not that I'm love-struck, it's just that he can help me solve it, so I don't have to go through all the trouble.
Secondly.
Letting Chu Wen know that even though she knows about his dark thoughts, she is not afraid or bothered by them will put Chu Wen at ease.
The two people cannot see each other for a long time, are in different places, and are busy with their own lives. They will also meet all kinds of new people around them. It is very important to make the other person feel safe.
【^-^Miss Mu Mu is so thoughtful. So both a jerk and gentle.】
Chu Muchao: ...You're getting more and more sarcastic!
-
【Chuchu, can you help me?】
I was wrong, I shouldn't have tried to ride your coattails, please don't be angry.
[Ms. Chu, please, spare my life! All my events and endorsements have been canceled, and the company is threatening to sue me! Please, have mercy! I promise I'll never again try to ride on your coattails. Please don't let them blacklist me!]
Wei Ran sent many messages, but they all went unanswered.
Wei Ran couldn't sit still, so she went to Chu Muchao's hotel.
Before he could even catch anyone, Chu Muchao's bodyguard spotted him, grabbed him by his clothes, and threw him out of the hotel.
Wei Ran hurriedly begged.
"Please let me see Miss Chu! I beg you! I'll never do it again, please let me see Miss Chu!"
The head bodyguard asked, "What do you want to see Miss for?"
Bodyguard #2: "Isn't he supposed to be our young lady's boyfriend?"
Bodyguard No. 3: "It's fake. Miss has already clarified it and specifically instructed us to stop anyone we see."
Bodyguard No. 4: "I told you not to keep watching short videos. You should also check out news on other platforms when you have time."
Wei Ran was stunned: "She knew I would..."
The head bodyguard tossed the man to bodyguard number two: "What's the point of saying so much? Get him out of here, don't let him offend the young lady's eyes."
"Okay, boss."
