Chapter 49 Negotiation
Mu Xiaoyu understands the principles, but understanding them is one thing, and doing them well is another.
Seeing Li Chenxu's helpless expression, she couldn't help but pout: "I want to calm down too, but Chenxu, I really... really can't calm down. Could you... help me?"
As Mu Xiaoyu spoke, she blinked her bright, star-like eyes. Normally, she always projected the image of a capable and strong woman when she was out in public, but now, in front of Li Chenxu, she was like an innocent and carefree girl, every move she made exuding an indescribable cuteness.
Li Chenxu's heart stirred slightly, and the next moment, to Mu Xiaoyu's astonishment, he grabbed her chin with one hand and kissed her. This kiss was like a dragonfly skimming the water, yet it carried an indescribable tenderness and affection.
After kissing her, Li Chenxu pulled Mu Xiaoyu away slightly. Seeing the expectation in her eyes, he smiled and kissed her again.
The tender kiss lasted for several minutes before it ended.
Afterwards, both of them were a little breathless, especially Mu Xiaoyu, whose fair face was now flushed with a thin layer of rosy blush, making her look incredibly alluring. At that moment, her mind was filled with the captivating smile of Li Chenxu as he kissed her; all traces of nervousness had vanished!
Are you still nervous?
Li Chenxu suddenly spoke up. Perhaps because of the kiss, his voice sounded even hoarser than usual, incredibly sexy.
Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu nodded hurriedly. Actually... if she were a little more shameless, she would have wanted to pounce on Li Chenxu right now!
At this moment, she finally understood what it meant for beauty to be misleading. Li Chenxu's face, which usually appeared angular and mature, suddenly seemed somewhat devilishly handsome.
Especially the way he looked at her, it almost stole her soul!
Afraid that Mu Xiaoyu would lose control if she continued watching like this, she quickly turned her head away and gently patted her chest to calm her heart, which was about to jump out of her chest.
Fortunately, the car had already stopped outside the magazine office. It was rush hour, and the roadside was bustling with people, especially the magazine office, which was full of elites.
The moment Li Chenxu and his group parked their car here, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
In her daily life, Mu Xiaoyu is always a very low-key person, so after the car stopped, she quickly got out of the car to avoid attracting more attention.
Of course, before getting out of the car, she couldn't help but kiss Li Chenxu on the lips.
Both of them have things to do today, and they won't see each other for almost the entire day. Before leaving, they have to kiss each other a couple of times.
Mu Xiaoyu looked satisfied after receiving a kiss from Li Chenxu, and her previous nervousness had completely disappeared with Li Chenxu's 'help'. Holding the original artwork she had prepared beforehand and some other materials, Mu Xiaoyu walked towards the magazine office in her high heels.
In most people's eyes, comic book artists like them are probably stereotyped as reclusive nerds. Even if they tidy themselves up, most of them probably wouldn't be considered good-looking.
Mu Xiaoyu is a very picky and meticulous person when it comes to appearance, so she dressed up carefully before coming today. Now, standing tall and proud in her high heels, she was even more striking than those tall and beautiful office ladies.
In addition, previously when Mu Xiaoyu discussed work matters, it was always the editor in charge who liaised with her. This was the first time the magazine had come at this time.
So when she entered the magazine office, almost everyone, regardless of gender, turned their attention to her.
That's how people are. Regardless of whether they have ulterior motives, they will take a second look at beautiful people or things out of appreciation for beauty. This is naturally the case for Mu Xiaoyu as well.
Outside, Mu Xiaoyu wore exquisite makeup and a confident smile. She seemed to radiate light, attracting almost everyone's attention even if you ignored her delicate face.
Mu Xiaoyu has never lacked suitors, so she was already used to the stares and scrutiny from others. She didn't think much of it, simply responding to the various gazes with a faint smile before entering the president's office.
The office not only housed the president but also some other familiar faces. If Mu Xiaoyu remembered correctly, several of them were big names in the comic book industry. However, because they had been famous for so long, the younger generation wasn't very familiar with them.
Mu Xiaoyu was clearly not expecting anyone else to be in the office. She paused for a moment after entering, but quickly regained her composure after a few seconds.
With a confident smile, she greeted the president and the others in the office. Even without the president's introduction, she mentioned the names of everyone present with respect and humility, which immediately made a good impression.
"Xiaoyu, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. Not only are you outstanding at work, but you're also such a good person!"
The club president was clearly pleased with Mu Xiaoyu's performance. After Mu Xiaoyu greeted everyone, he smiled and said, "However, I didn't call Mu Xiaoyu over here for mutual flattery."
After saying that, he didn't say anything more and started talking to Mu Xiaoyu about work.
"I've been abroad for a while and haven't been managing things in China much, so Chen Hao didn't mention your comics before. Now that I'm back, many film and television companies in China have approached me to discuss your work, wanting to buy the film and television rights. Not only that, but before that, many companies were also vying for the audio adaptation rights to your comics, as well as other rights. However, at that time, your work was less than halfway through its serialization, so I didn't tell you about it so as not to disturb your creative process."
At this point, the editor-in-chief paused for a moment, his eyes filled with admiration and pride as he looked at Mu Xiaoyu. He then continued, "Later, as your serialized work became increasingly popular and reached its later stages, I contacted Chen Hao to discuss publication and copyright matters with you. Who knew that Chen Hao would have other ideas? So, Xiaoyu, the magazine will handle Chen Hao's matter for you. But right now, the most important thing is what you think about the comic. I heard... you're already preparing a new book, is that right?"
