Chapter 513: His Protection
Li Chenxu looked at the girl in front of him and spoke in a deep voice.
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, his voice sounded several degrees deeper than usual, carrying a subtle magnetism, so pleasant it was almost irresistible. Coupled with his incomparably handsome face, few women could resist him.
Moreover, the girl who argued with Mu Xiaoyu had clearly only been working for a short time.
Upon hearing Li Chenxu's voice, a blush briefly appeared on the girl's face.
She gazed at Li Chenxu with a fascination and slowly nodded.
As soon as he made that move, Li Chenxu let out a disdainful sneer.
The coldness and disdain in his eyes began to spread, even more obvious than Mu Xiaoyu's emotions just now.
He stood before the girl, looking down at her, his thin lips parting slightly: "Want my phone number? Want to get close to me? Want to be with me? Who gave you the courage to even think like this? Don't you even look in the mirror? What do you look like? Are you half as pretty as Mu Xiaoyu? Half as smart as her? Or is your comic half as good as hers? Have you ever looked into her book signings? Have you ever looked into how many copies of her comics have sold? Do you even know how high the copyright price is for her comics right now?"
Li Chenxu spoke at length, giving the other party no chance to refute him.
After she finished speaking, the girl's face turned pale and then flushed, alternating between colors, looking incredibly ugly.
In the past, both Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu would show mercy when dealing with people younger than them. But in today's society, age is no longer the standard for judging a person.
Even the youngest people can have vicious and dark hearts.
If Li Chenxu were to be a little tougher on the little girl now, he might actually be doing a good thing for society.
The girl had no room for rebuttal after what Li Chenxu said. She stared at Li Chenxu blankly, unable to utter a single word.
But Li Chenxu wasn't about to let her off the hook. Seeing her silence, he continued, "I know there are many people who are jealous of Mu Xiaoyu, jealous of her achievements at work, and jealous of her being with me. But no matter how jealous they are in secret, they don't dare say anything to her or me in front of her, because they know what the consequences will be if they do. The author of 'The Magician,' right? From now on, you don't need to draw that comic anymore."
Li Chenxu meant to wipe them out completely. There were so many people coming and going, and quite a few were there to watch the spectacle and make a fool of themselves. If they were let off easily today, such a thing might happen again in the future.
If we don't take it seriously and make an example of someone, who will really take this matter to heart?
Li Chenxu's words immediately left the girl speechless and stunned. Even Mu Xiaoyu was surprised that Li Chenxu would do such a thing.
She subconsciously tugged at Li Chenxu's sleeve, but before she could speak, Li Chenxu looked at her with a tender expression he hadn't shown in a long time and said softly, "Listen to me, don't plead for these kinds of people. You may think of them, but they may not think of you. I can't stand anyone bullying you."
Mu Xiaoyu hadn't seen Li Chenxu so gentle in a long time. She was completely captivated by his gentle demeanor. Hearing this, she didn't say anything more. Whatever Li Chenxu said, she obediently stood beside him and didn't say another word.
"Mr. Li...you have no right to do this!"
After a long while, the girl finally spoke, and she was already crying, making her last struggle.
Anyone in this industry knows how difficult it is to get into SQ. Even if SQ doesn't promote you, your status will be different when you go to other comic book companies later.
But if you were kicked out by SQ, the outcome would be different.
"I have no right? Who told you that? Didn't anyone tell you who SQ's largest shareholder is before you came here?"
Li Chenxu spoke casually, his disdain deepening. He seemed to have some urgent business and didn't have time to waste any more words with the girl. After saying this, he directly addressed Mu Xiaoyu, "I have some important matters to attend to at my company, so I can't stay with you. You should take care of your business first. If you encounter anything you can't handle, call me. Don't try to be a hero on your own, understand?"
Li Chenxu's tone was so gentle that Mu Xiaoyu was completely bewildered. She nodded blankly upon hearing his words, unaware of what she was saying or doing.
It wasn't until Li Chenxu's car completely disappeared from her sight that Mu Xiaoyu suddenly came to her senses.
Looking back at the onlookers, most of them had already disappeared. Most of them were from SQ; after this incident, they clearly understood Mu Xiaoyu's place in Li Chenxu's heart. If they were to foolishly cause trouble for Mu Xiaoyu again, they would truly be out of their minds!
Mu Xiaoyu withdrew her gaze, standing there without immediately going to SQ. Recalling Li Chenxu's protection of her just now, her heart felt warm and sweet, as if she had eaten honey.
See? Li Chenxu is just that kind of arrogant and awkward person.
Although he was still angry inside and kept arguing with her, deliberately acting like he didn't care about her, how could he not help her when the time came?
The more Mu Xiaoyu thought about it, the sweeter she felt. A smile graced her face, and her delicate features radiated happiness.
When she arrived at SQ, all the people from SQ had already arrived. They clearly knew that Li Chenxu had stood up for Mu Xiaoyu, and when they saw her coming, they couldn't help but tease her, saying, "Mr. Li and Miss Mu have such a good relationship."
"That's natural."
Mu Xiaoyu sat down next to the editor-in-chief, only then realizing that there were other people in the conference room. She glanced at the editor-in-chief, who understood her meaning and explained, "This is Mr. Li, whom I talked to before about wanting to buy the copyrights of this comic book you have, excluding the film and television rights."
Upon hearing what the editor-in-chief said, Mu Xiaoyu remembered that the editor-in-chief had mentioned it to her before, but at the time she was focused on preparing the new book and hadn't paid much attention to the copyright issue.
She quickly composed herself, a faint smile playing on her lips as she looked at Mr. Li and extended her hand to him: "Hello, Mr. Li."
"I've always heard of Miss Mu's great reputation, but I've never had the chance to meet her. Today, I'm so glad to finally meet her. I hope Miss Mu will take good care of me in the future."
