The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 514: Will you come pick me up?

Chapter 514: Will you come pick me up?

This Mr. Li, Li Chengnan, is just the founder of a small company. The company was only established recently and is not very large, but thanks to the owner's unique vision, it is developing very well in all aspects, especially in audiobooks and comics.

More importantly, the price he offered was much higher than that offered by other merchants.

For Mu Xiaoyu right now, the most important thing is the film and television copyrights. Besides price, potential buyers will need to consider many other factors in this regard. However, the other copyrights don't require as much consideration.

As Chief Editor Xu Shu also said, Mu Xiaoyu would consider selling the copyright to the other party as long as the price is good.

Xu Shu has been very responsible for Mu Xiaoyu since Mu Xiaoyu came to SQ. She can see Mu Xiaoyu's potential, so when those people came to talk to Xu Shu about the remaining copyright of Mu Xiaoyu, Xu Shu never agreed.

If the price isn't right, everything else is pointless.

Mu Xiaoyu trusted Xu Shu, and since Xu Shu had screened the contract, she had no other opinions. After a brief exchange with Li Chengnan, she decided to sign the contract.

"If there is any cooperation in the future, Mr. Li doesn't need to make the trip in person again. You can just leave it to your people."

After the contract was signed, Xu Shu looked at Li Chengnan and Mu Xiaoyu and nodded in satisfaction.

Li Chengnan was a gentle man with an appearance that was not at all menacing. Seeing this, he smiled slightly and said, "If we are to collaborate with Miss Mu again, I think I will have to do it myself. You may not believe it, but I am actually a fan of Miss Mu's books. I have been to Miss Mu's book signings several times before."

"Really? That's such a coincidence! Since we're all so destined to meet, how about we all have dinner together tonight?"

Xu Shu looked somewhat surprised, but as the editor-in-chief of a comic book company, she was naturally concerned with her own interests.

Having been in this industry for so many years, she has a keen eye and can tell that Li Chengnan is no ordinary person. Although Li Chengnan's company is currently just a small company, compared to a large family enterprise like Li Chenxu's, it might not even be worth a finger of his.

However, sometimes, a person's success is not measured by these things at all. Xu Shu believed that Li Chengnan's future development would be far from this, and pulling him out of the way sooner would be beneficial for both her and Mu Xiaoyu.

Mu Xiaoyu was moving tonight, and all she could think about was her relationship with Li Chenxu. She was about to refuse when Xu Shu, as if anticipating her intention, quickly and secretly tugged at her hand, signaling her not to refuse.

Mu Xiaoyu rarely participates in any activities within SQ. Although she is just a comic book author, in their industry, she also needs to do what some celebrities do: promote herself and gain exposure to increase the popularity of her comics.

Mu Xiaoyu had none of these problems. In fact, the president of the comic book club had always had some complaints about this, but the editor-in-chief, Xu Shu, had covered for her, so Mu Xiaoyu had always been quite grateful to Xu Shu.

Now that someone has gone to great lengths to invite her to a dinner party, if she were to refuse, she would truly be ungrateful.

Thinking of this, Mu Xiaoyu nodded, suppressed her emotions, smiled, and said to Li Chengnan, "Mr. Li, do you have time? If you do, how about we have a meal together? It would be a good way to make friends."

"Of course I do."

Li Chengnan smiled at Mu Xiaoyu, his expression gentle.

To be fair, Li Chengnan is a person who is easy to like, but for some reason, Mu Xiaoyu doesn't quite believe that he is her fan. She knows better than anyone how her career has progressed in the past year; her fan base has indeed increased significantly compared to the previous two years, but in her eyes, it's impossible for him to attract someone like Li Chengnan.

After all, he doesn't look like someone who reads her comics; maybe it's just polite talk on the surface.

However, what happened after the dinner party started that evening was a slap in the face for Mu Xiaoyu.

Mu Xiaoyu originally planned to have dinner with Li Chenxu after he got off work that night and then go to move, but suddenly there was a dinner party, so the move might have to be postponed.

So, while Li Chengnan and Xu Shu were having a pleasant conversation, Mu Xiaoyu secretly went to the bathroom and made a phone call to Li Chenxu.

Li Chenxu seemed to be busy on the other end; the phone rang for quite a while before being answered.

"what happened?"

Li Chenxu's voice turned cold again, but Mu Xiaoyu didn't care. Upon hearing this, she briefly told Li Chenxu about what had happened that day, and then said, "You know I've turned down so many dinner invitations before. If I don't go this time, it would be a bit unreasonable."

"You have a lot of fans."

Despite the slightly sarcastic tone, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't help but laugh. She smiled and patiently said to Li Chenxu on the other end of the phone, "Well... if you're free tonight, could you come pick me up?"

"I'm busy."

Li Chenxu refused without hesitation, but Mu Xiaoyu was not discouraged. She knew that Li Chenxu was just stubborn but soft-hearted, so she said, "After dinner, it will probably be around 10 pm at the earliest. You know it's not safe at night, and it's even more dangerous for someone as pretty as me. If you don't come to pick me up, I will have to trouble someone else."

Whom do you want to bother?

Li Chenxu immediately spoke, this time with a hint of threatening gritted teeth. His tone almost made Mu Xiaoyu burst out laughing.

She coughed lightly to hide her emotions and laughed, "I don't know many people. If you can't come pick me up, I'll have to ask the young man I met at the bar last time, or if all else fails, I'll ask Mr. Li, whom I just met today, to take me."

"Mr. Li? You address me so affectionately."

After saying this, Li Chenxu hung up the phone without another word. Mu Xiaoyu looked at the black screen and finally laughed.

This Li Chenxu is really regressing as he gets older; he's becoming more and more like a child, and increasingly arrogant.

But it's really cute.

Mu Xiaoyu wasn't worried that Li Chenxu wouldn't come tonight. Even if Li Chenxu was angry, he certainly wouldn't let her be in a dangerous situation.

But she never expected that Li Chenxu would appear at the dinner party.

"You...you, how did you get here?"

"Why can't I come? Have you forgotten that I already acquired SQ?"
