Entwined by Dawn: The CEO's Relentless Obsession

"Damn! This is a huge highlight!"

"Yeah yeah, if it’s really like you said, then this is gonna be fun. I bet the headlines this week will all be gossip about the two Mu Family young ladies!"

"No kidding, ever since Second Miss Mu went back to the Mu Family, that usually low‑key Mu Family has been popping up in the public eye all the time!"

"That’s true, but that Second Miss Mu is actually super down‑to‑earth, not the least bit stuck‑up!"

"You even know that?"

"Back at Mingzhu Mall I happened to be there, just ran into her!"

"But I heard she was originally raised outside, only went back to the Mu Family two years ago, and then was shipped overseas for advanced studies. Being easy‑going and all that... maybe that’s just people like us showing our true nature!"

"I agree with that!"

"So what do you think, this whole poisoning‑suicide thing with the Mu Family’s eldest miss today, what’s really going on?"

"Who knows. Even though all the reports are saying it’s because Second Miss Mu brought Mr. Bai back to the Mu Family and said they’d already gotten their marriage license..."

"Ah crap, I forgot, damn it, I forgot to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to check it out, wuwuwu... If our Boss finds out he’s definitely gonna skin me alive!"

"For fuck’s sake! It’s just a tiny little investigation, and you’re crying over it?"

"Why can’t I cry? You’ve gotta know I suffered a hell of a lot just to get this intern reporter position. If I screw this up this time, wuwuwu... I won’t even have to wait till the internship ends, I can just pack up and get kicked out!"

"It’s fine, it’s fine, little sister, worst case you can come to our company then!"

The crying girl: "..."

So just like that she’s already found her next employer. Is that a good thing, or a bad thing?

"Hey what are you all doing, seriously, this is the first‑floor lobby of Bai Group. Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten what you came here for?"

"Oh come on, if we could forget that, we’d definitely not be qualified reporters! How is it still not two yet, I’m already dying of impatience!"

"Would you dare say that in front of Mr. Bai later?"

"Holy shit! If I *** dared to say that to Mr. Bai, you think I’d still be here gnawing on cold steamed buns with not even a bit of salted veggie to go with them?"

"Exactly... just behave yourself! Think carefully about what you’re gonna ask later. Don’t end up asking a bunch of messy crap with nothing useful in it!"

"Yes yes yes yes, you’re totally right, senior!"

...

In the President’s office, Mu Tiantian was eating with Bai Chenyao.

While eating, Mu Tiantian was a bit absent‑minded.

You have to know Bai Chenyao had said the press conference would be held at two in the afternoon. It was already one, and she still hadn’t prepared at all what she was going to say later.

The timing was too rushed, she was even starting to panic.

"Just focus on eating."

Mu Tiantian pressed her lips together and spoke slowly.

"A Yao, I’m nervous."

"You don’t have to say anything. Just keep a smile on your face. And if you don’t even feel like smiling, then make whatever face you want and just imagine they’re all wooden posts."

Mu Tiantian: "..."

Mr. Bai, you’re so calm and so domineering because you’re the high‑and‑mighty Mr. Bai. But She... going from a tiny nobody to Second Miss Mu, and now in such a sensitive situation, how could she not be on edge.

"Wooden posts?"

Trust Bai Chenyao to come up with that.

Bai Chenyao picked up a piece of braised potato for her, his voice indifferent.

"If you don’t like wooden posts, then just pretend they’re potatoes."

Mu Tiantian: "..."

Looking at the braised potatoes in her bowl, then thinking of that huge black mass of people, Mu Tiantian suddenly felt the whole thing was ridiculously funny.
