Chapter 98 - Master Mu's Disregard (2)
Mu Yuchen frowned slightly when he heard Li Si. His eyes turned icy as he looked at Xi Xinyi who was walking towards him.
Wearing a yellow spring Chanel outfit along with her wavy, light blonde hair and a scarf tied around her neck, a lovely smile spread across her beautiful face.
“Hello, Chairman Mu. I’m Xi Xinyi, I’ve been looking for an occasion to visit you and coincidentally, we cross paths today.”
Xi Xinyi kept her smile up as her manager also beamed widely. When Mu Yuchen still seemed aloof, she explained, “Chairman Mu, the purpose of Ms. Xi’s visit today is to know more about being the ambassador of Imperial Sky Jewellery City. The person-in-charge from your company gave us a call yesterday and asked Xinyi to come over to discuss it.”
“I’ve heard a lot about you, Chairman Mu. It’s really my pleasure to work with Glory World this time. I’m so glad to have this opportunity!”
Xi Xinyi then extended her fair hand out. Accompanied by the polished smile on her face, she simply looked lovely. Overall, she had a positive aura, especially her glittering eyes. She was the ideal image of a gentle lady.
Mu Yuchen glanced at Xi Xinyi’s hand for a moment and then averted his gaze away. He nodded coldly, and before they could react, he moved and walked past her.
Now, he finally knew why his woman at home would lose out to this woman. If Xi Xinyi’s behavior was just a facade, she would be a really scary person. Furthermore, given Xiaye’s personality, she particularly sucked at emotional situations like this.
It seemed like he needs to put in more effort to groom her. If she were to deal with someone like this again, she would surely lose without fail.
He would not allow her to always let others take advantage of her.
As he thought of this, he had a subtle yet gentle smile on his face. He suddenly looked much more dignified with that smile. Xi Xinyi saw all of it and was shocked for a moment.
When they came back to their senses, Mu Yuchen had already walked past them with his back facing them.
Xi Xinyi felt a little awkward as she looked at her extended hand. She drew it back and shouted in Mu Yuchen’s direction, “Chairman Mu!”
“Ms. Xi, Manager Zhang, the endorsement is now under the PR Department. You can head straight there. It’s on the 38th floor. You should know that already.” Li Si left them with directions before catching up with Mu Yuchen, his hands full of things.
Ah Mo frowned as he looked at Xi Xinyi and Manager Zhang. Luckily, the Master was not angry. Did they not know about Master’s rules, so they just went up to him, trying to act friendly?
During his investigation of the Missus’ matters, Ah Mo, of course, found out about Xi Xinyi as well, which explained why he was not really fond of her. He glanced at them coldly before catching up with Mu Yuchen as well.
Xi Xinyi could feel the chill from Mu Yuchen just now. Watching the figure vanish into the elevator, her eyes went out of focus and she only came back to her senses after a moment.
“Xinyi, Master Mu always acts that way. He’s cold towards everyone and it’s not really a secret, so don’t mind him,” explained Manager Zhang because she thought Xi Xinyi was unhappy about what had just happened.
Xi Xinyi came back to her senses when she heard Zhang Xue’s explanation. She still looked a little out of it as her eyes seemed surprised. “So, the legendary Master Mu…”
Zhang Xue laughed. “Unreal, isn’t it? Master Mu is a very low-profile person. I heard he just returned not too long ago. Back then, he moved around New York and France. It was the old chairman’s idea to have him come back and take over the business. We’re lucky to bump into him. People like him feel so distant. I heard he’s very good friends with Mister Zhou and Master Su. With just the two of them…”
“Sis Zhang, are you very familiar with Master Mu?” Xi Xinyi asked after giving it some thought.
Sis Zhang shook her head. “Nope, I just heard about him from people in the industry. Master Mu rarely appears before the mass media, so there’s nearly no way to know about him. Glory World and the Mu family hardly have any scandals with that exception from four years ago. The Mu family…”
Sis Zhang’s voice suddenly hushed to the point that Xi Xinyi could not hear what she was saying.
“Let’s go, Xinyi. We don’t want to make them wait for too long!” Zhang Xue reminded Xi Xinyi. She had worked very hard to get this endorsement and she could not afford to let anything go wrong.
Xi Xinyi nodded and then walked ahead.
…
After the meeting, the Vice Presidents went into Mu Yuchen’s office.
“I’ve considered the proposal of Glory World stepping foot into the showbiz industry, and I’ve decided to take on the proposal and try it out.”
Inside the Chairman’s office, Mu Yuchen was sitting comfortably in his chair with his arms crossed and his elbows propped up on the table. He looked at the Vice Presidents. Besides the usual few Vice Presidents stationed at the headquarters, those who had been stationed outside had returned as well due to the looming annual meeting.
“That’s great, Chairman Mu! If we’re building a new Movie City together with the company from City B, that’d be awesome news for Glory World if we’re able to reach the top in the industry!”
Vice President Liu Lingyu could not hold in his excitement. He looked at the other Vice Presidents who seemed excited about the idea as well. All of them nodded enthusiastically.
“It seems like all of you are looking forward to it.” Mu Yuchen looked down at the documents before him. Then, he continued talking after a while, “Since it’s decided, we’ll need a person to take charge of this new segment. As an unventured territory, the showbiz industry is something Glory World has never been involved with before. Be aware that the amount of workload will be huge, so who’s willing to take the challenge?”
“Chairman Mu, Vice President Liu has done his research before, and after our discussion, we all think that it’d be great if Vice President Liu can handle this!” Several Vice Presidents recommended Liu Lingyu.
Mu Yuchen went silent for a moment. He remembered that his woman back at home seemed to be impressed by Vice President Liu Lingyu as well. Knowing her, she would not be impressed without any solid reason, so he then nodded. “Then, I’ll pass this onto you. Are there any problems with that, Vice President Liu?”
