If it were anyone else, she would have complied and turned off the microphone, but since it was Shen Mo, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want to indulge her.
"Mr. Lin has already admitted to being gay. So, is there some kind of deal between Mr. Lin and Teacher Tang?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was unwilling to turn off her microphone, and Chen Mo did not insist. She touched the microphone on her collar and pulled over a chair to sit down.
Lin Xiaoxiao paused in wrapping her arm with gauze. She turned her head to look at Chen Mo, her eyes sharp and cold. "What exactly do you want to say?"
She had always disliked Shen Mo, and after hearing these words, her dislike for her only intensified.
What do you mean by saying there was a deal between her and Tang Xue? It sounds as if their relationship was improper.
"Tang Xue is where she is today because President Lin promoted her."
Shen Mo gripped the armrests of the chair tighter; she was genuinely feeling some pressure facing Lin Xiaoxiao like this.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Lin Xiaoxiao was getting impatient, and her face showed some annoyance. She hated people who beat around the bush the most.
Why can't you just say it directly? Why do you have to beat around the bush?
"I want to make a deal with President Lin." Before saying this, Shen Mo turned off the microphone on her collar. Her gaze was fixed on Lin Xiaoxiao's collar, as if waiting for Lin Xiaoxiao to turn off the microphone.
Lin Xiaoxiao naturally saw Chen Mo turn off the microphone, but she pretended not to see it and casually asked while wrapping her bandage, "What kind of deal?"
She could roughly guess what kind of deal Shen Mo wanted to make with her. She and Tang Xue had previously guessed that Shen Mo wanted to enter this circle.
Shen Mo's purpose in approaching her was also related to her desire to enter this circle. Lin Xiaoxiao guessed that the deal Shen Mo wanted to discuss with her was also related to this matter.
What Lin Xiaoxiao didn't expect was that what the other person told her next was indeed related to her desire to enter the entertainment industry, but what she said really shocked Lin Xiaoxiao.
Shen Mo looked at Lin Xiaoxiao and saw that the other party had no intention of turning off the microphone. She hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said softly, "I can have a closer relationship with you."
"Take it a step further?" Lin Xiaoxiao was puzzled for a moment, but immediately understood what the other party meant. Her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. "You want me to sexually harass you?!"
Lin Xiaoxiao was genuinely surprised. She had thought that Shen Mo was trying to curry favor with her in order to get a chance to enter the entertainment industry, but she never imagined that the other party had such thoughts.
Lin Xiaoxiao subconsciously touched her face. Did she look like such a jerk?
Because Lin Xiaoxiao didn't mute her microphone, her words were naturally heard by the anxious viewers.
[I told you long ago, this Shen Mo is definitely suspicious. She actually wanted our CEO Lin to sexually harass her. How dare she?]
"Someone like her actually thinks she can get away with anything by having our CEO Lin sexually harass her? She's overestimating herself."
[I just don't understand. If she wants to enter the entertainment industry, she should just seize this opportunity. Why does she always have to resort to underhanded methods?]
[She's clearly aiming for instant success. If she can latch onto our CEO Lin, she'll have access to resources like crazy.]
People with malicious intentions always think of crooked and unethical ways; they never consider striving for what they want through their own efforts.
[Exactly. Our CEO Lin is such a good person. If she didn't have so many ulterior motives, she might not have given her such an opportunity.]
Unfortunately, people with wicked intentions only think of crooked ways and never consider striving through honest means.
[This Shen Mo is up to no good; will she do anything to our CEO Lin?]
【！！！！】
【？？？？】
[No! Our CEO Lin is injured! Miss Tang Xue, hurry and go find your little darling!]
I think the kitchen is almost done cleaning up, so there shouldn't be any major problems.
I'm afraid something might go wrong in those last minute or two.
[Upstairs, please don't jinx it.]
"That's right, I want to enter the entertainment industry. As long as you can give me this opportunity, I will agree to anything you ask. I am young and beautiful, and I am still young. I can be your secret lover."
Since Lin Xiaoxiao had already brought up the issue of unspoken rules, Shen Mo had no reason to be coy. That was her goal all along, and there was no point in denying it.
Lin Xiaoxiao's expression was a little strange. She finished wrapping the bandage and said, "I'm saying, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about me?"
With a sigh, Lin Xiaoxiao looked quite helpless. "Why would I want a lover? Besides, I'm not interested in women."
Yes, she's not interested in women, she's only interested in Tang Xue, so there's nothing wrong with her saying that.
"Are you having some reservations?" Shen Mo pointed to the microphone on Lin Xiaoxiao's collar. She didn't think Lin Xiaoxiao rejected her because she wasn't attractive to her.
She would only assume that Lin Xiaoxiao rejected her because she hadn't turned off her microphone and didn't want to ruin her image in front of a large audience.
Lin Xiaoxiao scoffed and touched the microphone on her collar. "If I had any reservations, I wouldn't have said it. If you're thinking of getting my protection this way, I advise you to give up that idea as soon as possible. Your behavior only disgusts me."
"What about Tang Xue? Didn't she also obtain resources in the same way?" A hint of embarrassment flashed across Shen Mo's face. She was a person with a sense of shame, and Lin Xiaoxiao's words had indeed hurt her self-esteem.
Lin Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes, her icy aura almost tangible. She stared at Chen Mo and said, word by word, "Everything she has achieved now is the result of her own hard work."
As she spoke, Lin Xiaoxiao stood up and walked towards Chen Mo. She placed her hand on the back of the chair, her expression icy, and her tone was extremely cold.
“She’s different from you. She gets what she wants by working for it herself, instead of always trying to find crooked ways to get it.”
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao's disgust for Chen Mo reached its peak. After saying this, she straightened up, pointed to the door, and said, "Please leave."
Shen Mo bit her lower lip, stood up abruptly, grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao's arm, turned around, and shoved Lin Xiaoxiao into the chair.
She gripped the armrests of the chair with both hands, leaned over to look at Lin Xiaoxiao, and said with dissatisfaction, "So in President Lin's mind, Tang Xue is perfect, while I am a bad person who will do anything to achieve my goals."
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned back, looking at Chen Mo's slightly crazed expression, her brows furrowing slightly, "At least she won't be like you."
“President Lin said before that he has OCD.” Chen Mo leaned down, looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, and smiled somewhat maliciously. “I’m a little curious, just how serious is President Lin’s OCD?”
"Chen Mo, I advise you not to do anything reckless!"
Lin Xiaoxiao's voice seemed to be wrapped in ice, and Chen Mo's face stiffened, but the next second, she smiled again, "What if I insist on doing something reckless?"

Chapter 113
===================
[Aaaaaah, what's going on? What is Chen Mo trying to do? I'm so worried! Miss Tang Xue, please go check on your baby!]
[Oh no, oh no! Our CEO Lin's fighting power has been halved! I hope Chen Mo won't do anything reckless.]
She just said that our CEO, Mr. Lin, is a germaphobe, and Mr. Lin told her not to do anything reckless. I...I...I...I don't want to overthink things, but I really can't help but think about them.
Miss Tang Xue came out of the kitchen.
[Miss Tang Xue, hurry up! Go save our CEO Lin!]
Tang Xue did not see Lin Xiaoxiao after she came out of the kitchen, and there was no one in the living room.
Not seeing Chen Mo, Tang Xue felt a little uneasy. She frowned and decided to go to the room to check first.
At this moment, Tang Xue was completely unaware of what was happening in the room, nor did she know that the viewers of the show wished they could pass through the screen and appear in front of Lin Xiaoxiao and Shen Mo.
"Chen Mo, I'm warning you, don't push your luck." Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were frosty, her back pressed tightly against the chair back, at this moment Lin Xiaoxiao could be said to have nowhere to retreat.
Chen Mo's eyes curved slightly, and she chuckled softly, "Is President Lin threatening me? My proposal is good for both of us, so why is President Lin unwilling to accept it?"
As she finished speaking, Chen Mo's face darkened. "Compared to Tang Xue, what exactly am I lacking? All I want is a chance, why won't you give it to me?"
Shen Mo was a little agitated. She really didn't understand why Lin Xiaoxiao wouldn't listen, even though she had been so humble and made her point so clearly.
Lin Xiaoxiao put one hand on Shen Mo's shoulder, trying her best to push her away from herself.
Upon hearing these words, she looked somewhat surprised, as if she couldn't understand the other person's thought process.
Seeing Chen Mo getting closer and closer, Lin Xiaoxiao didn't think twice and immediately raised her foot to separate herself from him.
But before she could even lift her foot slightly, Shen Mo, as if anticipating her move, stepped directly on the back of her foot.
And the hand that she had been gripping the handrail was now resting on Lin Xiaoxiao's injured arm.
“President Lin, I don’t want to hurt you, so I hope you can cooperate with me.” As Chen Mo spoke, she tightened her grip on Lin Xiaoxiao’s arm slightly.
Lin Xiaoxiao's brow twitched a few times, and a hint of suppressed pain flashed across her face.
"Chen Mo, I really don't understand. Do you want to enter the entertainment industry, or do you want to stay away from it?"
Lin Xiaoxiao's forehead was covered in a little cold sweat. She stared sharply at Chen Mo. To be honest, she really thought that Chen Mo was sick.
The other party clearly wanted to enter this circle through their own abilities, yet they chose this moment to hurt and offend me. Their thought process is truly extraordinary.
"Of course I want to get into this industry." Shen Mo tightened her grip, saw a flash of pain on Lin Xiaoxiao's face, and pursed her lips in satisfaction. "As long as I have some intimate relationship with President Lin, that's all that matters."
Lin Xiaoxiao stiffened, a look of astonishment flashing across her face. She looked at Chen Mo as if she were a lunatic. "I'm warning you, don't mess around. If you dare touch me, I'll make sure you can't stand on your own two feet anymore."
"I'm so scared," Chen Mo chuckled. "President Lin, this is a live broadcast."
As she spoke, Shen Mo placed her hand on her collar and turned on her microphone, which she had previously turned off. "Once things are settled, President Lin can't deny it, can he?"
[Holy crap, what's wrong with this woman? What is she trying to do to our CEO Lin?]
[What does "having some intimate relations" even mean? Is Chen Mo out of her mind? She knows this is a live broadcast, so does she even understand that what she's doing is a crime?]
Miss Tang Xue has arrived at the door.
[What's going on with the production team? They can hear the guests talking, so why haven't they reacted at all?]
Forget about the production team, let's put our hopes on Miss Tang Xue.
Standing at the door, Tang Xue reached out and tried to turn the doorknob, but it wouldn't open. She frowned, took a key out of her pocket, and stepped into the room. The scene that greeted her eyes made Tang Xue's pupils shrink slightly.
What are you doing?
The sudden sound startled the two of them. Shen Mo subconsciously turned around, but Lin Xiaoxiao seized the moment when she turned around, broke free from Shen Mo's restraint, and pushed her away with all her might.
"Little one!"
Tang Xue's expression changed, and she quickly stepped forward. When she saw Lin Xiaoxiao's arm, which was stained with blood, her face turned extremely pale.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Lin Xiaoxiao patted Tang Xue's hand. Even though the stinging pain in her arm made her head spin a little, she still didn't forget to comfort Tang Xue.
