Bai Su followed behind Mu Chen into the room.
"Thank you for helping me out just now. Professor Guan's project team is very important to me." Bai Su didn't dare to imagine how big of an impact it would have on her career if she lost her job on the project team because of Mu Xing.
"You don't have to thank me."
Mu Chen said coldly. His mood was a little better than before. "I'm just saying the truth. Moreover, I don't want there to be a problem with the project. I know your ability. Even if you really want to leave, Professor Guan won't agree."
"That's true."
Bai Su couldn't help but smile when she thought about how Professor Guan made her multitask all the time and he wished that every part of the project would include her.
Mu Chen looked at Bai Su. Her smile just now was quite pretty.
It was like a warm and gentle spring breeze.
"There's one more thing. The city has decided that there will be a special award ceremony and interview segment for your heroic rescue. As the project team was conducting an inspection nearby that day, the interview can also publicize the Mu Corporation's corporate culture and image. Professor Guan and I have discussed it. We hope you can participate."
"There's no need for that."
Bai Su waved her hand. She hated this sort of drama the most.
Besides, it was only right to save people in distress. Wasn't it too meritorious for them to hold an award ceremony and interview her?
She hadn't thought of what to say.
Mu Chen glanced at Bai Su. He had guessed that she would refuse. He cleared his throat and reminded her in a "kind" manner, "Aside from the award, there is also a cash reward of 200,000."
"I'll go."
Bai Su immediately corrected herself.
Mu Chen snorted. It was as he had thought. As long as money was involved, Bai Su would disregard her principles.
He took out a light blue dress from the closet and handed it to Bai Su. Bai Su's eyes lit up. The small dress was extremely beautiful. It was simple yet elegant. There were no complicated patterns, but the overall design was extremely high-end. The material was also very comfortable and was extremely suitable for formal occasions.
"Wear this when you confer." Mu Chen said coldly.
"Oh." Bai Su blinked her eyes. She never thought that Mu Chen would be so considerate as to even choose a dress for her. As she gestured at the dress, she muttered, "Did you choose this dress?"
"How is that possible?"
Mu Chen denied it.
The truth was that he had somehow parked the car in front of the studio of a famous fashion designer in City A. He chose this dress from a pile of clothes that were either limited edition or haute couture. After fussing over it for four to five hours, he even asked the designer for advice and finally settled on this dress.
"I told the driver to choose whatever he wanted," he said airily. However, his eyes were averted.
Bai Su didn't think too much about it and nodded lightly.
That's true. A busy person like Mu Chen could earn tens of millions of yuan every minute. How could he spend the time to pick a dress for her?
However, she was still a little disappointed.
She forced an awkward smile and took a deep breath. "I didn't expect him to have such good taste. I like the dress very much."
…
The award ceremony was scheduled to be held three days later in Mihal Square in City A.
The news of Bai Su jumping into the water to save a man had spread like wildfire. Every citizen was impressed by her bravery. She was just a young girl, but she had the courage to jump into the water and the ability to save someone.
Most importantly, not only was she kind, but she was also beautiful. Rumor had it that she was also a straight-A student.
She went viral and netizens were saying that since she was so perfect, which window had God closed for her?
The award ceremony and reward distribution ended quickly, and it was time for the reporters to ask questions.
Bai Su answered a few basic questions.
A female reporter in her thirties stood up and held the microphone as she looked at Bai Su with a smile. "Ms. Bai, I heard that you have a special relationship with the Mu Corporation's new CEO, Mu Chen. I heard that you two have already registered your marriage. I wonder if this is true."
With that, she took out her phone and opened the photo album.
There were two red booklets in the photo. On top of them was a photo of Bai Su and Mu Chen. There were also their names and the big red seal of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The people around them were so shocked that they froze for a long time.
This was too sensational.
The brave heroine actually had ties with the young boss of the Mu Group and had secretly married him.
Was there something shameful that made her choose to hide their marriage?
Bai Su gasped. She didn't expect herself to be pushed to the forefront of the matter.
