Chapter 1486  : He Is My Son (59)

Mo Zhi’s words were really ridiculous.

It was his first day at work and, besides, he had not known that there was going to be a management meeting. Wasn’t this simply another one of Mo Zhi’s whims and fancies?

Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes, walked into the meeting room and looked at the shareholders in the company.

None of them looked familiar to him.

But when he saw the place cards that were in front of each of them, he was able to make some connections.

Among these people, some of them had spoken to him on the phone, to ask him to take up the position in the company.

Right now as he looked at these people, Mo Xicheng held his posture upright. There was a noble quality in the way he held himself.

He smiled and said, “Dear everyone, this is a senior management meeting after all. Without a proper official status, I didn’t have the authority to come in here.”

What he meant was that he had had to complete his onboarding process before he could come for this meeting. Of course, the onboarding process could only take place after he reported to work.

Hence, the person who had scheduled this meeting wasn’t being very smart after all.

When everyone realized what Mo Xicheng was getting at, they turned to look at Mo Zhi at once.

Mo Xicheng frowned and then rebuked the newcomer, “Mo Xicheng, what do you mean by that? Huh? We start work at 9 a.m., you came in five minutes late. What do you mean?”

The look on Mo Zhi’s face and Mo Xicheng’s earlier remark, which though brief, held a lot of meaning, revealed a distinct difference between the two men. Everyone present felt it.

In the past, when Mo Zhi had run the business, he had not behaved like this in meetings. But now a great contrast could be seen between him and Mo Xicheng. Honestly, who would be willing to work under a loud show-off like Mo Zhi? And who wouldn’t want to work for someone like Mo Xicheng?

Everyone was naturally inclined towards Mo Xicheng.

Mo Zhi had no self-awareness and was still hollering there, “Don’t think that just because you’re the CEO you can be late. Let me tell you, you’re not taking your work seriously.”

Immediately, Mo Xicheng spoke without even lifting his head, “I’m the CEO, so I can indeed be late.”

Mo Zhi was stunned by his comeback.

Mo Xicheng continued in a business-like tone, “Our company policy states that there is no need for positions above the General Manager to keep track of their punch cards. CEO Mo, don’t you know what that means? If you really don’t, I can explain it to you.”

Not having to use punch cards meant that there was no need to observe office hours.

After all, positions above the General Manager often involved entertaining clients and it was reasonable for them to be out of the office.

The mildly sarcastic tone adopted by Mo Xicheng was enough to infuriate Mo Zhi into speechlessness. Pointing a finger at the man, Mo Zhi said angrily, “You- you-”

Before he could speak further, someone next to him tugged at his sleeve. Mo Zhi suddenly snapped out of his agitation.

He gave a cold snort and cleared his throat. Then he took a seat. Without delay, he said, “Alright, everyone’s here, let’s begin!”

Mo Xicheng stood there staring at Mo Zhi. He noticed that right at the top end of the table, there was only one chair.

Mo Xicheng did not express any concern or displeasure as he walked up to that side of the table. He merely grabbed a chair, placed it next to Mo Zhi’s and then took his time to sit down.

Mo Xicheng had a very strong presence, hence when he sat down next to Mo Zhi, he completely overpowered the man. It was visibly clear that Mo Xicheng held the leadership in the room.
