Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: Meeting Delayed by Half an Hour Chapter 1076: Chapter 1076: Meeting Delayed by Half an Hour On the other side, at Li Group.

Li Shengxiao had just arrived at the company when Gu Ming came up to him, following closely, “Mr. Li, many media outlets in Capital City have been calling the company, wanting to schedule an interview with you. I’ve turned them all down, but because Miss Rong has been very popular lately, I expect there will be more calls of this nature. Should we silence the media or let them be?”

Li Shengxiao signed a contract and handed it to him casually. “What are they calling to schedule?”

“An interview with you,” Gu Ming continued, clutching the documents and following him, “Miss Rong is very hot right now. Previously, media journalists didn’t dare to call the company, but since the relationship revelation, the noise has gotten quite big. They all want to get the exclusive interview, so quite a few media outlets that have good relations with Li Group called. Some even contacted our internal staff privately, trying to pry into your relationship with Miss Rong.”

Mr. Li and Miss Rong have been dating super low-key. At the beginning, even the people closest to him, including the CEO, didn’t know anything; those ‘internal staff’ wouldn’t know shit. Don’t talk nonsense in the media and tarnish the CEO and Miss Rong’s image!

Li Shengxiao paused in his stride, his polished leather shoes gleaming and immaculate, exuding an air of luxury and refinement. He glanced at Gu Ming with his piercing eyes and instructed in a low voice, “Tell them that I am dating Yanyan.”

“Uh.”

Gu Ming asked further, “Does this mean you intend to acknowledge the relationship publicly?”

His first reaction wasn’t whether the CEO had considered it thoroughly, but whether Miss Rong had agreed…

“Make it clear that I pursued Rong Yan,” he didn’t answer Gu Ming directly but instead emphasized this point.

Gu Ming suddenly remembered this morning’s reports; indeed, many media used particularly tricky wording, phrases like ‘throwing herself at him,’ which portrayed Miss Rong in a particularly submissive posture. No wonder the CEO emphasized this. Always adept at gauging Li Shengxiao’s moods, he immediately assured him, “Yes, Mr. Li, don’t worry, I’ll speak to the media.”

“Go handle it,” Li Shengxiao dismissed the matter nonchalantly.

“Yes.” Before leaving, Gu Ming remembered something else, “By the way, Miss Chu is waiting for you in the reception room.”

“Miss Chu?” He didn’t initially realize who Gu Ming was referring to.

Gu Ming clarified, “Chu Xi, Miss Chu. She came early this morning saying she needed to see you. Since she didn’t have an appointment, I temporarily had her wait in the reception room. Do you have time to see her? If not, I can have the secretary tell her you’re out at a meeting.”

Mr. Li’s private elevator goes directly to the top floor, bypassing the reception room, so even if they say Mr. Li is not in, that Miss Chu won’t likely find out that Mr. Li is actually in the office.

Personally, he didn’t like that Miss Chu; she looked cunning and had a flirtatious air, which gave people a very bad feeling.

Although Miss Rong was also strikingly beautiful, she left a completely different impression than Miss Chu. In short, he didn’t want the CEO to interact much with Miss Chu, always feeling that Miss Chu was up to no good, probably trying to seduce the CEO…

Upon hearing the name Chu Xi, Li Shengxiao subconsciously frowned, showing he wasn’t keen on seeing Chu Xi. After a brief moment of thought, he relaxed his furrowed brow and said, “Tell them to delay the meeting by half an hour.”
