Chapter 80
Chu Wen's expression looked complicated.
He was restrained and patient, yet also restless and uneasy.
Chu Muchao asked, "What, are you regretting letting me take over the company?"
Chu Wen shook his head: "I have never regretted this. These things were originally yours, and I have no reason to be a stumbling block for you."
“But you look very unhappy right now, like you want to say something but won’t.” Chu Muchao lay on the table, lazily looking at Chu Wen on his phone screen. “Your brows are so furrowed, anyone who didn’t know better would think I made you angry.”
Chu Wen remained silent.
After waiting a while, he asked, "Chaochao, I know you want to expand and bring in new people. Would you like to see Xiu Ke?"
"Um?"
She had considered that Chu Wen might advise her not to be too ambitious or make too big a move, and she had also considered that Chu Wen might be jealous and unhappy.
I never expected Chu Wen to mention Xiu Ke.
Chu Muchao was taken aback and asked, "Weren't you in Xiuke?"
"Yes. Xiu Ke, and the new technology, can both be yours."
Chu Wen raised his eyes, his gaze fixed intently on the woman on the screen.
"If you want, I am your weapon; everything I have is yours."
Chu Muchao blurted out, "Then what do you want?"
Realizing he had said something wrong, he quickly covered his mouth and said...
"I misspoke. I know you don't want to make a deal with me. I'm just curious. You gave me everything you created... It's giving me a strange feeling of being a second Zhai Jinwu. Brother... Am I being too ambitious right now?"
"No. Your ambitions can be much greater. I don't need a deal."
Chu Wen lowered his head, as if he had received some new information.
After a long pause, he said, "I have some things to attend to here. You can consider it. I keep my word. You don't need to consider what I'm thinking. You can think that acquiring Xiu Ke is beneficial to MZ, and for Xiu Ke, it also means gaining a stable shareholder with investment, allowing them to focus on scientific research. It's a win-win situation."
"Okay, I'll think about it. Thank you, brother."
Chu Muchao straightened up and waved at the camera.
"Go ahead and get busy, we'll talk again when you have time."
After hanging up the phone, Chu Muchao searched for some information about Xiu Ke.
There is no data indicating that their company is facing financial problems.
With Chu Wen around, there shouldn't be any operational problems.
Chu Muchao: System, what do you think?
【^-^? It's rare for you to ask me that on your own initiative.】
Chu Muchao: It's rare that you didn't interrupt. Acquiring Xiuke doesn't seem to have any downsides, and it won't affect my ability to expand and invest in a few variety shows to recruit new talent. What do you think?
【^-^】
Chu Muchao: ?
The system remained silent for a moment.
Perhaps he intends to use Xiu Ke as a betrothal gift.
Chu Muchao was stunned.
Ah, a betrothal gift? This was something she hadn't expected.
Chu Muchao: Really? But he said he didn't need me to give him anything, and it wasn't a transaction.
Since it was given as a betrothal gift, it was no longer considered a transaction.
ah……
That requires careful consideration.
By agreeing to the acquisition, Chu Wen might have essentially acquiesced to the conditions he had in mind.
【^-^That's quite a serious consideration, Miss Mu Mu.】
Chu Muchao: Surely I'm not the one who's a jerk? He hasn't even confessed yet, and he's already talking about betrothal gifts... Things are moving too fast.
【^-^ Yes, that's right.】
Chu Muchao: Besides, I'm still young. I've only been the president for a few months. I'm still in the rising stage of my career. Dating can make me happy and prolong my life. Marriage is out of the question.
【^-^ Hmm.】

Zhai Jinwu became a pariah overnight.
Female celebrities who attended charity galas with him were also implicated, with some netizens indiscriminately criticizing him on his Weibo account.
Su Qian did an emergency public relations effort that night.
Taking advantage of the fact that Zhai Jinwu had been taken away by the police and didn't have time to play on his phone, Su Qian deleted and edited the chat history between Zhai Jinwu and himself, then photoshopped it into a composite image and sent it to the marketing account.
The title of "being kept by Zhai Jinwu's mistress" instantly transformed into that of a victim forced to compromise by Zhai Jinwu's threats of resources and a blacklist.
The next day, Su Qian and his agent even brought the female celebrity to an event as usual, where they were photographed by reporters looking heartbroken and tearful.
The hashtag #BeautyShedsTears# quickly climbed to the top of the trending topics list.
Amy has been keeping an eye on the trending topics.
We're also taking this opportunity to show some footage of Xin Qing shedding tears during the live stream.
They also labeled themselves as "fellow victims".
Xin Qing's public image was successfully reversed, and not long after, she became the spokesperson for a beauty brand under the MZ Group.
The promotional advertisement was exquisitely made, and the three musical arrangements used in the advertisement were all independently completed by Xin Qing.
The visuals and background music are exquisite, and the products themselves are also stylish and sophisticated, making them very popular among young women.
The advertisement received rave reviews as soon as it was released.
Some praised Xin Qing's beauty, while others praised her singing.
Amy took the opportunity to promote Xin Qing's title as an original singer and bought a lot of press releases to promote the original arrangement that Xin Qing made for the advertisement.
Xin Qing was naturally attractive, with a kind and gentle face that was impossible to dislike.
In addition, she herself is very capable.
This comeback was fought swiftly and brilliantly.

At noon, Xiao He knocked on the door of the president's office and talked to Chu Muchao about this matter.
Xiao He's words were full of excitement; he was happy for Xin Qing.
"Great! Zhai Jinwu has successfully dealt with the offline issues, and Xin Qing's reputation has been turned around! Now no one will say that signing Xin Qing is a bad thing!"
Chu Muchao was also paying attention to public opinion surrounding Xin Qing.
Hearing what Xiao He said, he smiled with a hint of pride.
"I knew it, the people I like can't be bad."
Xiao He was very supportive.
"That's right! Our CEO Chu is the best! He has a keen eye! He spotted the most capable person in the crowd at a glance!"
Chu Muchao was pleased, his eyes crinkling with a smile as he asked, "Does that include you too?"
Xiao He patted his chest confidently: "Of course! I'm very capable too! Otherwise, how could I be the president's secretary?"
Chu Muchao laughed and said, "We are all very capable."
Chu Muchao flipped through a few pages of the PPT. Although the pages were beautifully designed, the text and data were done perfunctorily.
She was too lazy to look anymore, so she put down the tablet and said...
"The New Year is almost here, so let's put these optional and unimportant projects aside for now. There's no rush to speed things up. Just make sure they're completed within the timeframe stipulated in the contract, and you don't need to show them to me."
Xiao He nodded: "Okay, Mr. Chu."
"Also, how's the discussion about investing in entrepreneurial variety shows going?" Chu Muchao asked.
Xiao He said, "I was just about to report on this. First, the director of the Nancheng Public Security Bureau wants to meet to talk about your hacker... ah, I mean, your tech friend, Mr. Chu."
"Director General?" Chu Muchao suddenly felt immense pressure. "Uh, give me the phone, I'll make a return call."
Xiao He: "Okay."
Chu Muchao: "Next."
Xiao He: "Secondly, because Xin Qing is very popular recently, Nancheng TV wants to invite her to perform on stage for their local Lunar New Year's Eve gala."
Chu Muchao raised his eyes: "This shouldn't be our decision. She has an agent and a company."
“That’s right,” Xiao He scratched his head. “The TV station staff contacted me through Amy, wanting to ask if you, President Chu, are free on the eve of the Lunar New Year and if you would like to attend their TV station’s gala?”
Chu Muchao frowned: "I don't like it."
Xiao He nodded: "Okay, I'll get back to the TV station staff later."
Chu Muchao raised his right hand, about to wave it, but then paused.
Hmm, she suddenly seemed to understand why Amy had approached Xiao He to ask her about the party.
Chu Muchao suddenly looked up and asked, "Does Nancheng TV have a singing variety show next year? Is Amy interested in sending Xin Qing there?"
Xiao He nodded: "Yes. The job-seeking and entrepreneurship variety show that the company is discussing is also with Nancheng TV."
After some thought and consideration, Chu Muchao sighed.
Sigh, all for work.
"Then I agree. Just to confirm, I only need to sit in the audience and watch the show, right? The host won't suddenly call me up on stage to give a speech or something, will they? If something like that happens at the last minute, I can't guarantee I won't say anything nasty."
After all, the eve of the Lunar New Year is considered working overtime.
Xiao He nodded: "Okay, I'll contact the staff to confirm."
"Okay, you've worked hard. Go and eat." Chu Muchao waved to her.
She's going to have lunch now.
Today's lunch was prepared and delivered by the family's chef.
Crispy pork belly, mashed potatoes with meat sauce, and golden crispy fried chicken.
To ensure the best taste, I specially baked it and delivered it during her break time.
They should have taken the elevator up by now.
"Knock knock".
There was a knock at the door.
"Here I am!"
Chu Muchao cheered and excitedly got up to open the door.
Her roasted meat, fried chicken, and baked mashed potatoes are here!

In the afternoon, the director of the Nancheng Public Security Bureau visited the MZ Group.
After finishing the meeting, Chu Muchao walked out of the conference room and saw a secretary leading two people in police uniforms over, who then introduced them.
"Director Shen, this is our General Manager Chu."
Finally, the secretary's gaze darted back and forth between the policeman and Chu Muchao, filled with curiosity and gossip.
The middle-aged man walking in front paused slightly when his gaze fell on Chu Muchao's beautiful young face.
He then walked over and extended his hand.
"Hello, Mr. Chu, I am Shen Ting from the Nancheng Public Security Bureau. I didn't expect you to be so young."
Chu Muchao was stunned for a few seconds before walking up and shaking the other person's hand in return.
Address the other person using the same terms as the secretary.
"Hello, Director Shen, uh, I was just about to call you back after the meeting, but I didn't expect you to come in person."
Shen Ting chuckled and waved his hand.
The policeman behind him raised his hand and unfurled the banner in his hand.
"They've come to present a banner to the kind citizens who helped us with the case."
He listened intently to the teachings.
"Wow, you're too kind. Cooperating with the police is what we citizens should do."
Chu Mu gave Xiao He a wink.
He led the group into the office.
After bringing two cups of tea, Xiao He left the office and closed the door.
Listen attentively and state your purpose directly.
"President Chu, I won't beat around the bush. Recently, your company cooperated with the police to solve a transnational case. We had been following this case for a long time but had not been able to identify the target. This time, we were able to solve this transnational case so quickly, thanks to your company's technical staff."
"Our police station cordially invites your company's technical personnel to assist the police in handling the case."
ah……
Where are we going to find such a person? Haha.
