Chapter 1488  : He Is My Son (61)

After saying these words, Mo Zhi looked at Mo Xicheng. Seeing that the man was not replying immediately, he inquired, “What’s the matter? You don’t want to? This is the company’s project, not your own film where you can pick and choose. Or are you worried that you won’t be able to handle it? If you can’t handle it, speak up. After all, you’ve never managed a company. If you don’t know how to do it, we’ll all understand.”

One by one, the senior executives turned to look at Mo Xicheng with a probing look in their eyes.

If Mo Xicheng turned out to be less capable than Mo Zhi, or even if the two were on par, they would be more willing to be directed by Mo Zhi. After all, Mo Zhi was the more fitting and proper person in terms of status within the family.

If it hadn’t been for the fact that Mo Zhi behaved so outrageously, these people wouldn’t have pleaded with Mo Xicheng to take over the management of the business. So now all these eyes were on him, hoping that he would be able to find a reasonable excuse, or else a suitable way to decline.

After all, if he had to deal with a gay director, things would get murky in the future.

Imagine their CEO having to give himself for the pleasure of that director. Wouldn’t that be a real joke?

But to everyone’s great surprise, Mo Xicheng gave Mo Zhi a look of indifference and then nodded. “Fine.”

Everyone was stunned by his response.

They looked at Mo Xicheng in disbelief.

Seeing that Mo Xicheng had agreed, Mo Zhi sprang to his feet with relief and said, “Great. So that’s all for today, let’s end the meeting. And you, Mo Xicheng, we’ll make an appointment for you to meet with Director Li tonight. You can have a long chat with him. And even if it’s an overnight chat, we won’t hold it against you. We will reimburse you the cost of the hotel room, hahaha!”

After making this ambiguous remark with much sarcasm, Mo Zhi got up and turned to leave.

Mo Xicheng frowned, disdainful of his crude remark.

As he stood up to leave, a voice called out, “Mo Xicheng.”

The man turned around and noticed that among the senior executives, one of them was striding towards him.

It was a dignified-looking man, probably in his fifties, and there was an air of uprightness around him. As he came up to Mo Xicheng, he said with a frown, “You must not take up this case, or you should let one of your staff represent you for the discussion. You must not meet the director yourself, do you understand?”

Mo Xicheng was surprised.

He hadn’t thought that someone in the office would have his interest at heart.

He looked at the man with uncertainty and asked, “You are?”

“My name’s Gao Feng. You can call me Uncle Gao. This is a trap by Mo Zhi. Perhaps you might not know, this Director Li is a—”

Mo Xicheng interrupted him before he could finish, “I am aware.”

Gao Feng was stunned and asked, “Then why didn’t you decline if you’re aware?”

Mo Xicheng cast his gaze down and said, “Under the circumstances, do you think I could?”

The older man was stumped.

Indeed, could the young man have rejected it?

Given Mo Zhi’s supercilious attitude, if Mo Xicheng had declined, he would have quickly gotten the reputation of being incompetent.

But to meet Director Li for a deal…

Gao Feng sighed and said, “Well then, are you aware of the outcome in this case?”

Mo Xicheng nodded and said, “Yes, I’m aware.”

Gao Feng replied, “And yet you—”
