My Perfect Female CEO

"Five minutes, five minutes!" Director Wu chanted the final ultimatum, hurriedly rushing out of the office.

He was very clear about one thing: only by following the hacker's instructions could he act wisely; otherwise, the consequences would be dire. He didn't even have time to speak to Ma Qianqiu, just focusing on apologizing first and then handling other matters.

This way, there was still room for maneuver; otherwise, there wouldn't be a single chance left.

First, conceal the affair with Feifei, then instruct his subordinates to keep their mouths shut to retain his wife's support.

He understood his wife's temperament; if she found out he was fooling around outside, she'd skin him alive.

As long as his wife still supported him, only then could the bribery issue be smoothed over; otherwise, everything would be ruined.

Director Wu exited the elevator and Director Zhang rushed toward him, almost colliding.

"Get out of the way, mind your own business, stay at your post, what's the hurry?" Director Wu suppressed his grievance and anger, venting it all on Director Zhang.

"Director, what are we going to do about this? Make a decision quickly, time waits for no one," Director Zhang said anxiously.

Director Wu ran ahead swiftly, his somewhat plump body trembling, with his excess flesh shaking all over.

Director Zhang nodded and bowed as he followed behind Director Wu, not daring to utter a single word of dissatisfaction.

"What else can we do besides apologize and try to minimize the big issue or resolve the small one? You've been with me for so long, and you still lack this little awareness. If I weren't around, could I rely on you?" Director Wu reprimanded.

"Director, you're astute and resourceful, how could I speak carelessly?" Director Zhang replied respectfully.

"Director, everyone." Upon seeing Director Wu and Director Zhang appear, Feifei and others quickly gathered around enthusiastically.

"Everyone, return to your positions, focus on your tasks, prepare the apology drafts, and remember to show enough sincerity and remorse. Hurry up and get it done, don't stand around," Director Wu ordered without room for objection.

"Yes, yes, yes." The crowd responded in agreement and dispersed to busy themselves.

"Director, time is running out, let's go to the broadcasting studio first," Feifei led the way.

The affair between her and Director Wu was private, and now that a crisis approached, they pretended to have no connection, behaving like strangers to avoid becoming a tool in others' hands.

In the studio, Director Wu, Director Zhang, and Feifei appeared together in front of the camera.

Yet, the network wasn't under their control, and the five-minute countdown was still ongoing.

To have no say over their own station, their own domain, and still needing others' permission—what a joke.

This itself showed the terrifying power of the hacker, which was the reason for Director Wu and others' quick capitulation.

"The draft, is the draft ready?" Director Wu, extremely tense, shouted urgently.

"Director, how about this? You start reading while we continue writing," someone cautiously reported.

"What is this nonsense? To apologize, speak like the voice in the previous broadcast, admit that you're not human, etc. Fine, you bunch of useless wretches who can't be relied on in critical moments," Director Wu scolded.

The subordinates could only write some apologetic words respectfully, not daring to be too harsh as they didn't have the courage. If Director Wu wanted to read it himself, and if they wrote something too offensive, they'd be asking for trouble.

"Director, have a sip of water, clear your throat," Director Zhang urged.

"No need, there's no time." Director Wu looked at the countdown with less than thirty seconds left, feeling anxious.

Beside him, Feifei and Director Zhang were even more worried.

The countdown ended, and they could broadcast.

"On behalf of the station and myself, I sincerely apologize to the Chu Group. I admit I did some wrong things, misled by Ma Qianqiu, and deliberately attacked the Chu Group. I also admit I accepted benefits, but I assure you it wasn't as much as ten million, only five million. I will accept organizational scrutiny, reflect on my mistakes, and start anew."

Director Wu occasionally wiped his sweat, straining to say every word he could think of.

Director Zhang and Feifei assisted on both sides, occasionally reminding, and sincerely apologizing along with Director Wu's words.

Director Zhang almost laughed out loud, hearing Director Wu say the words "start anew," it was both absurd and ridiculous.

What nonsense about starting anew, what major crime was committed that needs reformation before starting anew?

"Embarrassing, even if I didn't read the script, I wouldn't make such a mistake." Director Zhang's heart was full of mockery, but his face showed no inappropriate expressions.

"The achievements of the Chu Group are evident; Ma Qianqiu wants to tarnish its reputation, using vile competitive tactics to undermine it. In my opinion, Ma Qianqiu is digging his own grave, and in the end, Ma Qianqiu will pay the price for his actions. I expect, and believe, that Ma Qianqiu will meet his downfall."

After Director Wu finished speaking, he sat down to rest.

Subordinates offered water and tea, taking care of him meticulously.

"How did I do?" Director Wu looked around, inquiring, "Was it sincere enough?"

He had to ask, fearing that if the hacker wasn't satisfied, they might be in trouble.

"Director, every word was reasonable, every word resonated, surely it showed our sincerity," Director Zhang stated.

Others also echoed with flattering remarks.

"Enough with the flattery, now is not the time." Director Wu chided bluntly, the crowd nodded with wry smiles.

"Feifei, what do you think? I want the truth," Director Wu turned his gaze to Feifei.

"Director has stated his position, firmly supporting the Chu Group, condemning Ma Qianqiu the jinx, and made a resolute criticism. I believe the hacker helping the Chu Group will be satisfied," Feifei spoke truthfully.

Director Wu grasped Feifei's meaning; as long as their affair wasn't exposed, everything else could be managed.

At this moment, Director Wu's phone rang, causing him to hastily walk away.

Because the call was from Ma Qianqiu, naturally, he found a secluded place to answer.

"This month's salary will double; if I hear anyone gossiping recklessly, they won't escape my wrath," Director Wu said before leaving.

"Long live the Director, we know nothing," Director Zhang and others guaranteed emphatically.
