Mo Zhi sprang up to his feet excitedly and exclaimed, “If that director develops an interest in Mo Xicheng, and Mo Xicheng doesn’t accept him and is unable to strike a successful deal, hahaha… Or even if Mo Xicheng doesn’t strike a deal after pleasing him, his reputation would still be sullied.”
His eyes shone with delight as he continued, “We’ll go ahead with this plan then when he comes to work tomorrow.”
“Roger.”
–
That same night, as Mo Xicheng was tidying up things around the house, he received a call from Mo Hai who said, “Report to the office tomorrow at 9 a.m.!”
Mo Xicheng frowned and was silent for a moment.
Mo Hai immediately chided the man, “I’m talking to you, can you hear me?”
Mo Xicheng pondered for a second and nodded. “Alright.”
“What’s up with your tone? Do you not want to?”
Mo Xicheng pursed his lips and said, “No.”
“So that means you’re excited? Let me tell you, don’t lose your head just because you’ve been made CEO. The true young master of the Mo family is Mo Zhi. I hope you have this stuck firmly in your head forever.”
Upon hearing these words, Mo Xicheng smirked.
Since young, this had been the phrase that had been most frequently drilled into his head.
Hence now, after Mo Hai said it yet again, he kept his silence.
Exasperated, Mo Hai repeated, “Did you hear what I said? Are you mute? Huh? What sort of attitude is this? You—”
Before he could finish, he was interrupted.
He could vaguely hear Li Shu’s voice in the background.
Indeed, she was standing at the doorway of the study. She had heard what Mo Hai was saying. And when she had heard the phrase, “The true young master of the Mo family is Mo Zhi”, she had felt a sharp pang in her heart. She had thrown open the study door at once and walked in.
Staring at Mo Hai, she said, “Can’t you talk nicely?”
Mo Hai choked on his own words at once and fell silent.
Her gaze fell on his cell phone and she frowned. Mo Hai said at once, “Hehe, Mo Xicheng, I’ve said what I had to. Once you’re in the company, do your best and don’t pull any tricks, do you understand?”
Mo Xicheng did not speak, hence Mo Hai continued to talk to himself, “As long as you understand, I’m hanging up now.”
After hanging up, he quickly looked at Li Shu and started, “Li Shu, when did you come in? I didn’t see you!”
The woman glared at him with a frown, then turned around to walk away.
Mo Hai ran after her, hoping to have a few more words with her.
But the moment she got into her bedroom, she shut the door without a moment of hesitation.
Mo Hai was left standing outside. He raised his hand to knock on the door, but then eventually lowered his hand again without doing that.
Li Shu stood in her bedroom thinking of the words he had said to Mo Xicheng. They must have hurt the boy again.
She quickly picked up her cell phone and dialed Mo Xicheng’s number.
He picked up the call almost immediately. His voice sounded particularly gloomy over the phone. “Hello?”
For an odd reason, Li Shu got nervous and her heart started pounding when she heard his voice.
Her palms started to dampen. As she faltered, she said, “It’s me.”
“I know it’s you. What’s the matter?”
Li Shu paused for a moment and then said, “It’s your first day at work tomorrow. I just called to ask if there’s anything you need.”
Mo Xicheng gave a laugh and said, “I know why you’re calling.”
Li Shu’s heart skipped a beat. And then she heard the boy saying calmly, “If Mo Zhi comes for me, I will not stand still.”
