The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 83 Interview

Chapter 83 Interview

Looking around, a large portion of the media waiting outside the magazine office were mainstream media, plus some other media that Mu Xiaoyu was not familiar with. There were at least a dozen or twenty such media outlets. This lineup was no less impressive than that of top-tier celebrities.

Mu Xiaoyu was incredibly surprised, but she maintained her composure on the surface. She avoided the media and took the elevator from the basement to the magazine's office floor.

The president was already waiting there. When he saw Mu Xiaoyu come up, he quickly led her into the office.

"Mu Xiaoyu, I hope you can give me an explanation for this. You know that the comic competition held by the magazine is because of you, and your comics are published separately by the magazine. Now, suddenly, you've done this. Where do you put the magazine's reputation? Do you know what the higher-ups have said about me after this happened?"

Just now, when they were on the phone, the president was still relatively restrained when talking to Mu Xiaoyu. But now, when he saw Mu Xiaoyu, he could no longer hold back his anger. He pulled Mu Xiaoyu into his office and began to question her sternly.

When Mu Xiaoyu initially decided to leave the magazine, she intended to part ways amicably, and this incident was not something she wanted to see happen. Strictly speaking, she did feel guilty towards the magazine in this matter.

However, if we really look at it, the magazine also bears some responsibility in this matter.

Despite the president's stern reprimand, Mu Xiaoyu remained calm. She looked at him and said slowly, "I was indeed wrong in this matter, but president, do you know who plagiarized my comic?"

The editor-in-chief was taken aback when Mu Xiaoyu suddenly asked about this. She seemed to have thought of something, and her expression suddenly became strange. She looked at Mu Xiaoyu hesitantly for a while before saying, "Could it be that this matter is related to people in our magazine?"

After all, he's been navigating the social world for so many years, there's no need to spell things out; the club president understands it all himself.

So upon hearing the editor-in-chief's words, Mu Xiaoyu didn't hesitate at all and immediately nodded to tell him about Chen Lan's situation. Although Chen Lan had already resigned, it was because their magazine had recruited Chen Hao that both Chen Hao and Chen Lan had taken advantage of Mu Xiaoyu. In truth, the magazine owed Mu Xiaoyu more.

The club president clearly understood this as well, and his expression became even more unpleasant after Mu Xiaoyu explained the whole story.

Now that things have progressed to this point, both sides have a sufficient understanding of the situation. If we continue to dwell on who is right and who is wrong at this stage, it will only be a waste of time.

The magazine's editor-in-chief wasn't one to dwell on the issue, and quickly said, "We'll talk about this later. You saw the media downstairs when you came in, and they'll be coming up to interview you in a bit. Regardless of whether you stay with us or not, I hope you can consider your past relationship with the magazine and think things through before you speak."

The magazine that Mu Xiaoyu works for, while not top-tier in China, is still quite well-known and has been on the rise, so its future looks very bright.

If something were to happen to the magazine right now, it would be a huge blow to them.

Mu Xiaoyu was well aware of this, and nodded in agreement. Her main target was Chen Lan, not anyone else. Putting Chen Hao aside, the people at the magazine had treated her fairly well during her nearly one year there, so she had no reason to harm the magazine.

Besides, since we're all in the same circle, we'll run into each other all the time, and making too many enemies is actually not a good thing.

Seeing that Mu Xiaoyu agreed, the president did not delay any longer and took Mu Xiaoyu to the interview room for the exclusive interview.

There were many media outlets present this time. When they came up, they completely surrounded the small interview room. Some of the less well-known media outlets could only stand on the outside and had no chance to get close at all.

The questions asked by the media were similar to those Mu Xiaoyu had anticipated. Mu Xiaoyu was well-prepared and answered them fluently without the slightest panic.

"Mu Xiaoyu, we just received news that your new work has been plagiarized, and the person who plagiarized it is very likely Chen Lan. Miss Mu and your husband wanted to help Chen Lan despite past grievances. If this is true, what do you plan to do?"

Finally, someone asked the question Mu Xiaoyu had been most eager to hear. Hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu feigned surprise, looking at the reporter with some hesitation: "This matter is related to Chen Lan? It shouldn't be..."

Mu Xiaoyu's face was full of conflict, but it wasn't hard to see her protectiveness towards Chen Lan. Seeing this, the reporters quickly snapped photos of Mu Xiaoyu's current state, and only after collecting enough photographic material did they continue talking.

"Although there isn't enough evidence at the moment, the situation is likely true. According to industry insiders, Ms. Mu, you've always been extremely dedicated to your work. What would you do if your painstakingly created work was plagiarized by someone you previously protected?"

Mu Xiaoyu didn't speak, but lowered her eyes with a hint of loss and sadness, and said with a choked voice, "I don't know... Chen Lan has been by my side for almost a year, and I've always treated her like a younger sister. Even with Chen Hao... I've never blamed her. My husband had already found Chen Lan a job, but..."

After saying this, Mu Xiaoyu didn't continue, leaving plenty of room for imagination.

The reporters wanted to ask more questions, but the magazine's security guards had already begun to ask them to leave. Having achieved her goal, Mu Xiaoyu politely apologized to the reporters and quickly left the interview room.

The president had been paying close attention to Mu Xiaoyu's answers to the reporter throughout the entire process. In his previous impression, Mu Xiaoyu had always been a simple, innocent, and even somewhat silly comic creator.

However, since the last time he met Mu Xiaoyu, his impression of her has changed. This time, he felt that Mu Xiaoyu was completely different from before.

The president's heart was filled with complex emotions. Looking at Mu Xiaoyu coming over, he hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but say, "Mu Xiaoyu, you are really smarter than I thought. I underestimated you before."
