Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 1340 - 1318: Of Course He Stands Up for You

Chapter 1340: Chapter 1318: Of Course He Stands Up for You

Ya Chen walked from the corridor to the office area, taking in everything that had just happened inside the office.

Ye Meng was startled. This voice...

Wasn’t it the voice of the man who was just in the restroom with Chu Xinyue?

Director Zhao saw who it was and froze. His expression immediately relaxed, and he actually went over to greet him personally: "I was just handling an employee..."

Chu Xinyue looked at the newcomer, and her heart skipped a beat. Could he be the major shareholder that Sister Xu mentioned had just bought into MK?

That’s the reason he appeared at Liangyou Magazine today.

No one had ever seen Director Zhao act so polite and courteous to anyone before, and they all realized the importance of this man’s identity.

Ya Chen ignored Director Zhao’s chatter, his gaze moving to rest on Chu Xinyue, who was gathering her documents:

"What mistake did she make?"

"Absent from her post for a long time during working hours."

"Just now?"

"That’s right!"

"She was just with me."

"Ah?" Director Zhao was stunned, and all the colleagues were also shocked.

"It’s my first time visiting the magazine, so I asked this colleague to show me around." He slid one hand into the pocket of his finely pressed trousers, glancing at Director Zhao: "Is there a problem?"

Director Zhao paused and quickly recovered: "No problem, of course, no problem."

He then turned to Chu Xinyue: "Why didn’t you say so earlier? In that case, it’s just a misunderstanding. Forget it. Put the things down and get back to work!"

Chu Xinyue was still in a daze, remaining rooted to the spot.

Ya Chen took in her reaction, teasing lightly: "You gave them quite a scare."

Although Director Zhao was old and experienced, he understood the implication behind those words. Though he was unwilling, he still gritted his teeth and walked up to Chu Xinyue, speaking in a pleasant tone:

"Dear colleague, I was too impulsive earlier. To err is human. Let it go this time. Since Sister Xu has also praised your outstanding work, please make sure to stay. The company needs young people like you."

A low murmur of disbelief echoed through the office.

This stubborn and unreasonable Director Zhao was actually coaxing Chu Xinyue just because of a word from that man!

Could this man be the newly joined major shareholder of the group? 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

Director Zhao coughed lightly twice: "Alright, let me introduce him. This is the new major shareholder of the group. The ’Heart of the Ocean Blue Moon’ from a few days ago was also purchased by our new shareholder."

The office erupted into another low chorus of exclamations.

The mysterious buyer they had gossiped about for days was indeed the handsome and charismatic man before them?

Moreover, he had actually become a shareholder of MK Group?

Chu Xinyue also glanced over at him.

He caught her gaze, slightly raising his handsome eyebrows as if in acknowledgment.

Sister Xu reacted quickly and politely inquired: "What is the new shareholder’s surname? How should we address you?"

Just as Director Zhao was about to speak, Ya Chen preemptively stated, with a slight teasing edge to his lips: "Hasn’t Miss Chu already named me?"

Everyone was taken aback. Mr. Blue? Was this major shareholder really going to let everyone call him that?

"It’s a nice name." He slid both hands into his trouser pockets and did not elaborate further.

Throughout all these years, with so many executives and shareholders coming and going at MK Group, Sister Xu had never encountered a superior who didn’t even bother to give his name, yet she dared not inquire further. She gestured to a few colleagues in the office, and they rose together, bowing to Ya Chen at a respectful ninety degrees.

"Is Miss Chu unwell?" His sharp gaze pierced through the crowd, landing on Chu Xinyue.

She was the only one who hadn’t bowed, acting as if he were invisible.

Seeing the focus shift to her, Chu Xinyue finally realized and stood up to bow with the others.

He showed a barely perceptible sign of satisfaction in his eyes.

The introduction had been made today; from now on, she should know that he was her boss.

He couldn’t appear in the role of a husband, so he would appear as a superior instead.

***

Ever since Director Zhao toured the company with Ya Chen, Chu Xinyue noticed that there were more murmurs behind her back in the office.

This morning, even before entering the office, she overheard the whispers inside:

"So that’s why our major shareholder is so protective of her."

"Tsk tsk, it’s really disgusting."

"She usually seems so quiet, doesn’t talk much, could she really do such disgraceful things?"

"If she didn’t do it, why would the major shareholder be pleading for her the moment he joined the company? Just because she interviewed him? Don’t be ridiculous."

"Exactly. If you ask me, the restroom wasn’t the first time. Who knows, maybe when she interviewed the major shareholder alone, she already seduced him."

"That does make sense. I was wondering, how did she, a newcomer, manage to beat so many other publications? Why did the major shareholder specifically choose her?"

...

Chu Xinyue frowned. The restroom?

She immediately understood what they were talking about.

She walked straight into the office.

The group wasn’t expecting her arrival and quickly dispersed, returning to their seats.

Her eyes caught a colleague heading to the pantry, so she followed.

The colleague had just entered the pantry and placed a cup on the counter. The door closed with a bang, and when he turned around, he saw Chu Xinyue approaching, causing him to freeze.

Without a word, Chu Xinyue grabbed him by the collar: "Who said it?"

The colleague was startled, stammering: "What... Who said what?"

"Those things you were discussing about me just outside."

The colleague shrugged her off guiltily and walked towards the door: "We didn’t say anything about you, you’re just overthinking it."

As she watched his retreating back, she folded her slender arms: "Or do you think protecting the person spreading those rumors is more important than your own job?"

The colleague was surprised, stopping in his tracks. Was she threatening him?

Indeed, this Chu Xinyue was reportedly introduced by the Huo Family, and the department gossiped that she was a relative of the Huos.

Although she was just a small deputy editor, she could easily get someone dismissed if she wanted to!

He turned back in panic: "What do you want? I was just chatting with others, it’s not my responsibility."

Since joining the magazine, Chu Xinyue had never once mentioned her connection to the Huo Family.

Now she realized that sometimes these connections are indeed useful in the workplace, especially against those who like to spread gossip.

She tilted her head slightly: "So you still don’t want to say who spread it?"

Ultimately, the job was more important, and the colleague gritted his teeth: "It was Ye Meng... She said you might have been involved with the new major shareholder for a while. Otherwise, why would he specifically grant you an interview? She even saw... saw you and the major shareholder... in the company restroom, you know, she said you... you kept the major shareholder so satisfied that he naturally wanted to defend you..."
