Hello, Heir Chapter 396 - Who Exactly Is the Plagiarizer? (1)

After the opening dance, it was time for the ball.

The guests, as well as the Imperial Group employees, paired up and started dancing.

Zhuang Nainai was wandering among a group of people who were not dancing. Due to her special status, many people did not dare to invite her for a dance even though they all worked up the courage.

She wandered amongst the crowd before finally spotting Ji Chen. She walked over hurriedly, pulled him aside, and said softly, “Executive a.s.sistant Ji, I just saw that reporter from Su Er Newspaper Agency sneak in here! You must catch her.”

Upon hearing what she had said, he explained with a smile, “Madam, don’t worry. We have already secretly turned the public interview to a private one, and we only arranged for a few trustworthy reporters to do the interview, so others would not even have a chance to interact with Sir. Even if she stays in the banquet hall, she will not be able to stir anything up.”

This was a good idea!

Zhuang Nainai finally stopped worrying.

Ji Chen was caught up in ensuring security in the conference room, so he was summoned moments later. During this time, Si Zhengting was in the midst of his interview; hence, he was not in the banquet hall. Si Zhengting’s dance invitation just now had piqued the crowd’s interest in her. At that moment, those doubtful and judgmental gazes that were fixed on her made her feel so uncomfortable that she wanted to walk to a corner.

However, before she could arrive there, she noticed that Mi Nuo, whom she had been observing closely, was stepping aside rather stealthily.

Frowning, Zhuang Nainai looked toward where Mi Nuo’s gaze was fixated before realizing that there was a crowd gathered at a corner of the banquet hall. They were all crowded together as they whispered something.

When Mi Nuo went over and said something, the faces of this crowd of people darkened.

Zhuang Nainai sharply noticed that these people were not dressed in formal wear. Seeing how each of them was carrying a video recorder, she realized that they must be reporters!

And the person who was standing in the middle of the crowd was none other than the reporter from Su Er Newspaper Agency!

She seemed to be saying something, which caused the surrounding reporters to start feeling indignant and wronged. Was she… swaying their emotions?!

She recalled what Ji Chen had said. The original interview had become exclusive, and only a few trustworthy news agencies were sought. Hence, they must be feeling unhappy over the Imperial Group’s arrangements.

Zhuang Nainai did not dare to step forward, so she immediately turned around to look for Ji Chen to settle this situation.

Among the crowd of reporters…

The insignificant reporter from Su Er Newspaper Agency said indignantly, “This is too much! The Imperial Group’s arrangements imply that they don’t even care about us! Did they invite us over just to treat us to some snacks?! They did apologize to us and give us a hefty sum of money, but we are all well-known reporters, so we shouldn’t be played like this, should we? Our time is so precious, it can’t even be bought by money, can it?!”

Mi Nuo had blended into the crowd of reporters. After listening to her complaints, she said immediately, “We are really sorry for this. Please calm down, everyone. This is really all because of unusual circ.u.mstances. The company has not been doing so well recently, and the 100th Year Anniversary Celebration is very important, so we can’t afford any mistakes…”

The group of reporters became angrier as Mi Nuo spoke.

Su Er Newspaper Agency’s reporter simply interrupted her, “What do you mean? Are we the ‘mistakes’? If you don’t even trust us, then why did you invite us in the first place?!”

At a loss for words, Mi Nuo sighed. “How about this? I can offer you some other topics for discussion so that all of you won’t make any wasted trips.”

A reporter was bought immediately. “What topics?”

Mi Nuo appeared to be in a dilemma. “I’ll think about it and tell all of you later.”

After she finished saying this, she looked toward the center of the hall. “Oh, sorry. I will go check on Ms. Zhuang, she seems to be looking for Mr. Si.”
