"Would a thief admit to being a thief?" Mammon clearly didn't believe it.
Meng Nianchu tightened her red lips, not knowing what to say.
Just then, the host in charge of this interview, after receiving a nod from the cameraman indicating that filming could start, fixed his gaze on Meng Nianchu and Mammon.
After asking some simple questions about Mammon in the interview, the host directly got to the main topic.
"Miss Mammon, what do you think is the most important thing for women when aiming for higher positions?"
Mammon took the microphone and her eyes fell on Meng Nianchu intentionally or unintentionally. "Resist temptation and don't try to have it both ways."
The host was stunned for a second and then forced a laugh. "Yes, yes."
Then the host turned to Meng Nianchu. "Miss Meng, do you have anything to say? Recently, Miss Meng has also brought us a lot of surprises. Do you have any good advice to share with us?"
"I..." Meng Nianchu raised the microphone, but the words hadn't even left her lips.
Suddenly, Linda, who was sitting in the crowd, spoke up. "Previously, there was a plagiarism incident in the Meng family's company, and the company was burned beyond recognition. Although it was verbally stated that the real creator of the design drawings would be given copyright fees, the Meng family's company has not mentioned anything about the follow - up. I wonder how this matter has been resolved?"
Linda deliberately raised her voice, as if afraid that the audience present wouldn't hear.
Hearing Linda's deliberate provocation at this moment, Meng Nianchu replied firmly. "Our company has done everything according to the statement we issued. Everyone can rest assured. Our Meng family takes responsibility for what we do."
"Words are no proof. What evidence do you have? Miss Meng doesn't think that if you don't publicize this matter, no one will remember and you can just make up stories as you like, does she?"
"After the interview, the evidence will be posted on Weibo." Meng Nianchu answered calmly and generously. Instantly, Linda seemed pushy and petty in comparison.
Linda choked for a moment, then turned her eyes to Mammon beside her. "Teacher Mammon is so generous and elegant. She looks even better in person than in photos."
"Yes..." She deliberately elongated the tone with ulterior motives. "I heard before that after Miss Meng learned that Teacher Mammon would also be in this interview, she said she didn't want to stand on the same stage with you and even considered not coming. I wonder what Miss Meng means. Does she have some prejudice against Teacher Mammon?"
With just a few understated words, Linda pushed Meng Nianchu to the edge of a pit of fire.
Mammon glanced at Meng Nianchu with interest.
Meng Nianchu pursed her lips and smiled. "I was worried that Teacher Mammon is too dazzling. Sitting beside her, I would look too ordinary."
"Haha, Miss Meng is really good at talking." The host quickly took the opportunity to pick up the conversation. By chance, her eyes fell on Meng Nianchu's abdomen, and she said half - jokingly. "It's been more than a year since Miss Meng gave birth to her first child. Now that Miss Meng has inherited the company, I wonder what her next plan is. Does she have the intention of having a second child?"
Meng Nianchu blushed, and her small hand touched her belly. She replied coyly. "I'm already pregnant."
If this piece of gossip could be put on the front page, it would surely explode on Weibo. The host immediately seized this hot topic and kept asking further questions.
Meng Nianchu responded skillfully. Most of her answers had no major loopholes. The gentle way she answered made the investors in the audience like this little girl very much.
The interview ended at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Meng Nianchu waited outside the venue for Mu Junze to come. Linda, who walked out of the filming venue, saw Meng Nianchu. A shadow fell over her eyes. She raised her chin and walked towards Meng Nianchu haughtily.
"What, so eager to wait. Are you waiting for your lover?" She said in a strange tone.
After enduring her for two hours, Meng Nianchu heard her voice, and a surge of anger rose to her head. She turned to look back at Linda, her eyes extremely cold.
Linda sneered. "You said you're pregnant with Mu Junze's second child. Who knows which man's child is in your belly. Maybe Mu Junze has been cuckolded and doesn't even know it."
"Do you want to get beaten?" Meng Nianchu took a step closer to her.
Remembering the way she was beaten by Meng Nianchu in the toilet last time, Linda subconsciously took a big step back to keep a distance from her. She looked around. Seeing someone passing by, she suddenly gained confidence. "Do you still want to treat me like you did last time? There are so many people here. If you're not afraid of being filmed and the video being posted on Weibo, just go ahead and hit me."
Meng Nianchu suddenly grabbed her collar.
Out of the corner of her eye, Linda saw a dark shadow and suddenly shouted. "Meng Nianchu, what did you drop!"
Saying that, she pushed Meng Nianchu hard, picked up a jadeite that had fallen at Meng Nianchu's feet, and held the chain of the jadeite necklace in the air. "What's this?"
Seeing what Linda was holding, Meng Nianchu frowned slightly.
What is this?
Linda glanced at the person walking towards them and raised her voice. "This jadeite is usually a gift from a woman to a man. Junze never likes such things. Who are you planning to give this to?"
"You're crazy."
After listening to her nonsense, Meng Nianchu frowned even tighter.
Linda grabbed her arm. "There have been a lot of rumors about you before. If you haven't done anything wrong to Mu Junze, why would so many rumors follow you! You even have something like this that belongs to a man. What else do you have to say!"
As her voice fell, the jadeite in her hand was gone.
Mammon, who had come to stand beside Linda, looked down at it, then shifted her gaze to Meng Nianchu's face. She waved the jadeite in the air. "Is this yours?"
"No."
"Then how did it end up on you?"
Meng Nianchu frowned and shook off Linda. "I've never had such a thing on me. It's not mine."
Saying this, Meng Nianchu suddenly remembered a very suspicious thing. She cast a cold glance at Linda and let out a sneer. "You were the only one beside me just now. Is it yours?"
Suddenly, Meng Nianchu remembered that whenever something happened to Linda, there would always be someone to smooth things over for her. When it came to the matter of deliberately hitting someone, she could always get out of trouble smoothly.
It was really suspicious.
Hearing that Meng Nianchu was shifting the blame onto her, Linda's face changed drastically, and she loudly denied it. "How could it be mine? Don't you try to shift the blame onto others after your disgusting deeds are exposed. You're not a good person. What are you talking nonsense about!"
"I'm not like you, a woman who has had affairs with many men and has no shame."
Her angry outburst made Meng Nianchu even more suspicious.
