The CEO is Too Fierce: My Adorable Wife Needs Taming

Chapter 235 Acquisition

Chapter 235 Acquisition

A man stepped out of the car. He was a refined and gentle man, probably in his forties, exuding an air of nobility. Mu Xiaoyu simply couldn't believe that such a man would do anything bad to her.

More importantly, this man... Mu Xiaoyu felt that he... somehow resembled Liang Qiao...

Since they were in public, Mu Xiaoyu couldn't openly stare at the other person. After secretly observing them for a while, she went upstairs to SQ.

She had initially suspected that the man was following her, but after the man took the elevator with her to the 18th floor and she went to the 20th floor, she realized that he had been overthinking it.

Thinking back to how suspicious she was back then, Mu Xiaoyu felt a bit ashamed.

So much has happened lately that even something as small as this makes her overthink. Mu Xiaoyu shook her head, trying to suppress her thoughts. But… that man just now… he really did look a bit like Liang Qiao…

"Mrs. Li, you've arrived."

Just as Mu Xiaoyu was pondering, the elevator doors opened. The elevator to the twentieth floor led directly into SQ. Mu Xiaoyu had been to SQ many times before, and the receptionist already knew her. Upon seeing Mu Xiaoyu arrive, she immediately greeted her with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaoyu immediately came to her senses. She stepped out of the elevator, exchanged a few pleasantries with the receptionist, and then entered SQ.

Compared to the relaxed atmosphere at the front desk, the atmosphere inside SQ today seemed much more somber. When they saw Mu Xiaoyu arrive, they were all somewhat curious, given her highly unusual background.

But this time, these people kept their heads down and nervously did their own thing, not even glancing at Mu Xiaoyu. They looked trembling with fear, as if nothing could affect them.

Their behavior struck Mu Xiaoyu as odd, but she didn't dwell on it. After all, she wasn't an employee of SQ, and all she had to do was focus on drawing her comics.

Mu Xiaoyu knocked on Xu Shu's office door, and only entered after hearing a response from the person inside.

Xu Shu seemed to be on the phone with someone. When Mu Xiaoyu came in, Xu Shu was talking weakly to the person on the other end of the phone, as if they were arguing. Xu Shu's expression was very unpleasant. His expression only eased a little after he saw Mu Xiaoyu come in.

"Let's leave it at that for now, we'll talk about the rest later."

After speaking softly to the person at the desk, Xu Shu hung up the phone. She pointed to the seat opposite her, nodded slightly to Mu Xiaoyu, and said, "Sit down first. We can talk about the comics later. I have something more important to tell you now."

Xu Shu's expression was very serious. In previous meetings with Mu Xiaoyu, no matter what happened, Xu Shu had always been a very calm person. But this time, for her to have such a big emotional fluctuation, then the matter must be quite serious.

Influenced by Xu Shu, Mu Xiaoyu's expression also became serious. She nodded to Xu Shu and said, "Editor-in-Chief Xu, please just say what you have to say."

Mu Xiaoyu's directness made Xu Shu suddenly hesitate. She frowned and stared at Mu Xiaoyu, as if trying to see something wrong on Mu Xiaoyu's face.

But no matter how she looked at him, Mu Xiaoyu always maintained that indifferent expression.

Xu Shu couldn't figure it out and didn't want to waste any more time, so he covered his mouth and coughed lightly, saying, "Our comic book company has been acquired."

"So... will it have any negative impact on my current comics?"

"That's still uncertain..."

Xu Shu herself had only just learned about this matter, and there were still many uncertainties. At this moment, she was unable to give Mu Xiaoyu a definite answer on these matters.

Mu Xiaoyu listened without speaking, giving Xu Shu a thoughtful look before finally saying, "Let's talk about uncertain things later. So, will the comic promotion continue?"

"Of course we'll continue. Things that have already been decided won't change; it's just that many things in the future are uncertain."

Mu Xiaoyu nodded upon hearing this. If that's the case, then it's not too bad. Her comic series on SQ is already about a quarter of the way through. Even if the new acquirer interferes and stops its progress, the effect won't be too bad.

Furthermore, the film and television rights to this comic have now been acquired by the Li family. It's inevitable that movies and TV series will be made, and the one currently being filmed already has generated considerable buzz.

Moreover, she also participated in the screenwriting, and the lead actors are all talented and veteran performers. The film already has enough buzz, so she believes it will definitely be a huge hit. The original novel will also become very popular, so the film's popularity will only increase. As for the comic book publishing company, she's not too worried.

Since things had come to this point, Xu Shu saw no need to say anything more, so the two began discussing the comics. They had already outlined the general developments on the phone, so upon arriving at the comic book studio, they simply shared some details about what would happen next, and that was about it.

Mu Xiaoyu stood up, shook hands with Xu Shu, smiled slightly, and said, "I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration in the future."

Compared to many of the artists under her command, Mu Xiaoyu was much less troublesome. In addition, Mu Xiaoyu's background automatically brought them a lot of publicity. Moreover, Mu Xiaoyu had a very good personality, and Xu Shu liked her very much.

Hearing Mu Xiaoyu's words, she immediately understood what Mu Xiaoyu meant. She winked at Mu Xiaoyu and said with a smile, "Although the comic book company has been acquired, I still work there. We'll still be colleagues..."

"Really? If that's true, that's wonderful..."

Mu Xiaoyu's mood was not affected by the acquisition, so her expression remained calm.

Xu Shu had other things to do, so Mu Xiaoyu didn't stay at the comic book club any longer. After saying goodbye to Xu Shu, she left the club and planned to go home.

However, she had just left the comic book store and stepped out of the elevator when she bumped into Liang Qiao, who was coming from the opposite direction.

"Mr. Liang?"

"Mrs. Li?"

Neither of them seemed to have expected to run into each other at this time, and both had a look of surprise on their faces.

Fortunately, both of them were adults, and they quickly calmed down after a brief moment of surprise.

"I just acquired this comic book publishing company, and I'm here today to talk to its editor-in-chief about some things."
