Chapter 70
"What's true and what's false about the scandals that've been exposed now? Do you have evidence to clarify the false allegations?"
Faced with Chu Muchao's question, Xin Qing's grievances surged even more intensely.
“It’s all… all fake.” Her voice choked. “I… I’m in a situation where the company doesn’t care anymore, so I can only use the evidence I have. I have chat logs about the unspoken rules and recordings of phone calls where Zhai Jinwu threatened me.”
The lack of evidence didn't matter; she suddenly had a good idea.
This entertainment company, which is often ignored, can not only manage artists but also serve as a hidden point for magical skills.
Evidence can be collected using "sophisticated organizational techniques," and then, posing as a studio or hacker, the collected evidence can be released from the perspective of an entertainment company, thus allowing the evidence to be used legitimately and legally.
Chu Muchao nodded: "Okay, as long as you say those things are all false, I will believe you. I will have someone prepare the contract and then have someone contact you."
Xin Qing excitedly grasped Chu Muchao's hands, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Thank you! Thank you, Mr. Chu!"
Chu Muchao patted the back of her hand and soothed her gently.
"It's alright, thank me after everything is settled. Before you leave your previous company, take care of yourself and stay safe."
Xin Qing quickly replied, "Yes! I will! I'm staying at a friend's house right now, so it should be safe!"
-
On the way home.
When Wu Mi brought up the matter of signing Xin Qing, he asked, "President Chu, if you want to increase the entertainment company's revenue, signing new talent or poaching someone without any scandals would be faster. Although the scandals surrounding her are all fake, the hype has been going on for too long and there are too many of them, which is time-consuming and troublesome."
Chu Muchao pursed his lips: "Isn't this just a coincidence? I just happened to be doing it, and she just happened to come looking for me."
Was it just a coincidence?
Chu Muchao: She bravely chose to believe in me, someone she'd only met once, and I happen to have the ability to help her. Her voice is indeed excellent, and she can write lyrics and compose music; she's an original artist. All things considered, it would be a shame not to help her.
Miss Mu Mu is kind-hearted and compassionate.
Chu Muchao: Okay, keep praising me~
【^-^】
Wu Mi was not very satisfied with Xin Qing.
But since Chu Muchao has already made his decision, he should do his duty.
"Okay, I understand, Mr. Chu."
Wu Mi's face was almost expressionless. Having followed Chu Wen for several years, he had long since mastered the skill of not showing his emotions.
Chu Muchao, however, noticed his fatigue.
Chu Muchao also felt a little reluctant.
Not long after she took office, most of the complicated work would go through Secretary Wu's hands. Secretary Wu also guided and helped her through many troublesome and complicated tasks.
Compared to Chu Wen, with whom he has worked for many years and developed a tacit understanding, it would be more tiring to rebuild that tacit understanding and habit by working alongside her again.
Back home, Chu Muchao took a black pen and went into his study.
A few minutes later, Chu Muchao sent Wu Mi a compressed file.
The accompanying voice message reads: "I had a friend find it. Thank you for handling it."
Secretary Wu: Received.
After finishing all this, Chu Muchao went back to his room to take a bath.
A box of beautiful bath balls arrived today, so I'll try them out and see how they work.
Chu Muchao threw a bath sponge into the bathtub, then stood in front of the mirror wrapped in a towel to remove her makeup.
Although she puts on makeup to please herself, she feels very excited and happy after doing it, and she feels energetic in everything she does. She is also very satisfied with her beauty after each different makeup look.
but……
Removing makeup is such a hassle.
After removing makeup, you still need to prevent your skin from becoming dry and damaged, and you also need to take care of your skin.
Chu Muchao had a flash of inspiration and activated the one-click costume change button on the magic system.
I wanted to try it before, but it was only visible to her. I don't know if the system has been upgraded now?
She must have accumulated quite a few points.
【^-^ Yes, the one-click outfit change feature has been updated and can now be synchronized with the real world! Miss MuMu currently has a total of 929 points!】
Chu Muchao: ...When I'm taking a shower, could you perhaps consider leaving? I'm really getting angry!
[I'm covering my eyes, Miss Mu Mu, I can't see! I'm just reminding you that the features have been updated! I'm a very gentlemanly and tactful system!]
Chu Muchao: Laugh.
Chu Muchao, holding a glass of chilled juice, sat in the bathtub and checked his current attribute panel.
【Skill】
【Words Prove Effective★】Proficiency: 127/500
[Elegant Organizing Skills] Proficiency: 50/100
[The Inescapable Truth] Proficiency: 41/100
[Super Fast Target Lock] Proficiency: 25/100
Total Points: 954
There's a little star next to the upgraded skill.
Chu Muchao: What's this for? Does it have any special purpose?
【^-^ (Although it's a smiling emoji, the eyes aren't open!) This will increase the success rate of spellcasting. Spells marked with a star have a success rate as high as 99%!】
Chu Muchao: Huh? So magic skills can fail to be cast?
[Yes, it can fail. In special circumstances, the magic system may deem the reason for casting a spell insufficient. Miss Mu Mu's spells always succeed because you have never misused magic or used it when it shouldn't, so they never fail.]
Chu Muchao: I see.
Having such restrictions is actually quite good.
Chu Muchao turned to the page for the online store.
Next to the clothing and accessories category, a new category for beauty products has been added.
After clicking in, more categories appear on the left. Eye makeup is divided into subcategories such as eyelashes, colored contact lenses, eyeliner, and eyeshadow, which is very detailed.
The categories are so numerous that they match the process of her highest-level makeup and styling.
Once you enter the clothing page, you'll find even more detailed categories.
From style to brand, everything has been categorized in detail.
There is also a personalized setting where you can choose your favorite designer. After selection, the page will be categorized according to the designer's styles and series.
The trial and one-click outfit change features only cost 200 points!
【^-^ Yes, Miss Mu Mu, would you like to activate it?】
Chu Muchao: Of course.
Chu Muchao clicked on his points and redeemed the full version of the mall's features.
She then searched for the designer "Jamie".
The page features all of Jamie's designs since he entered the industry, a complete collection.
So convenient!
This page is so much more convenient and faster than her searching online!
Chu Muchao couldn't wait to open each series.
Jamie's previous designs, regardless of the series, all featured outstanding pieces.
Clicking on the "Try On" option automatically generates a 3D model with 45% transparency next to the semi-transparent version, resembling her figure and appearance, wearing the autumn outfit she chose.
A long trench coat, a short inner layer, and a short skirt—the colors aren't particularly bright, but the style makes the wearer look neat and crisp, and it's very pleasing to the eye.
In the past, most designs could be found in good styles.
His designs have been bizarre since last year.
Perhaps he wanted to break away from his original style and push his own boundaries.
It's also possible that his aesthetic sense is flawed, that he's influenced by psychological factors, or that he's experienced some kind of trauma...
In short, I've become uglier.
But because he was once incredibly successful, there are still people who support Jamie and are willing to continue paying for his services.
They used PUA techniques to find highlights in those later bizarre designs.
Even though some people criticize him, it's not like no one buys his support.
Jamie is indeed very experienced.
For so long, no one has tried to shake his position and power. Now that it has been shaken, he will naturally be unhappy and will resist.
So, will Miss Mu Mu back down?
Chu Muchao: Of course not. That's precisely why I'm even more determined to shake his position and power.
[Miss Mu Mu seems to have a new idea again?]
Chu Muchao hesitated for a moment, and did not give a definite answer immediately.
She needs to sort out her thoughts again.
*
Jamie's protest came too quickly.
Jamie, who had come up to the top floor and was making a ruckus, was chased away the day before. The very next day, Jamie brought a large group of designers under his command and demanded to see the president. They refused to leave until they saw him.
Xiao He saw Jamie holding a piece of paper with many people's signatures on it and immediately returned to report to Chu Muchao.
"President Chu, Jamie has brought a group of people to submit a joint petition. If they try to interfere with Lan's independent decision-making power, Jamie will lead all the designers under him to resign!"
Chu Muchao was looking down at a document when she heard this. She wondered, "Are they going to have everyone collectively breach their contracts? That's interesting. Are those designers who didn't just sign employment contracts willing to breach their contracts with him?"
“The others shouldn’t be making a fuss with him. Wouldn’t it be better to take away some of his power? It would also improve the work abilities of the others, and they wouldn’t be suppressed by him anymore. Wouldn’t that be better?” Xiao He was also puzzled. “President Chu, do you want to go out and take a look?”
The office door was wide open, and Jamie's loud voice could be faintly heard roaring.
"Do you even understand the fashion industry? Do you even understand design?!"
"The old you... now you've stretched your reach so far, aren't you afraid..."
Chu Muchao waved his hand: "It's so noisy, it gives me a headache, I'm not going."
"Okay, I'll get security to come up."
Chu Muchao hummed in agreement and continued reading the document.
-
It was almost noon.
After finishing his work, Chu Muchao called Wu Mi in.
Wu asked, "President Chu, is it time for lunch?"
“Wait a minute,” Chu Muchao said. “I want to hold a designer competition. Anyone can participate, but the premise is that the entries must be free of copyright disputes. All finalists will receive a prize of 500,000 yuan. The top ten will be selected by vote and will be able to release exclusive designer designs and have priority in signing long-term contracts with the group.”
Wu Mi wrote it down: "Okay, President Chu."
After Wu Mi left, the system's voice appeared.
Is this the solution Miss Mu Mu came up with?
Chu Muchao: Let's give it a try.
Anyone can participate, including designers who are suppressed by Jamie and have no chance to get ahead.
In any case, the ultimate ownership belongs to the MZ Group.
Chu Muchao: I don't understand the fashion industry, nor do I understand design. But I know that what he designs is ugly. If it's ugly, why would anyone buy it at a high price? He doesn't care about his own reputation, but I care about the reputation of the brand and the group.
【^-^ I unconditionally support Miss Mu Mu! Miss Mu Mu is the best in my heart!】
Chu Muchao: That's right~ I'm the best!
