Chapter 1509  : He Is My Son (82)

It was already 9 a.m. when Mo Xicheng left the Shi family home.

By the time he got to the office, it was 9:40 a.m.—ten minutes late again.

He parked the car and headed up the building hastily.

Just as he stepped into the office, his assistant immediately said, “CEO Mo, you’re finally here! Senior CEO Mo called a few times to hurry you to the meeting. He sounded quite annoyed.”

Mo Xicheng paused in the midst of loosening his tie upon hearing this.

Then he nodded at his assistant and said, “Ok, I got it.”

Along the way to the office, he had been contemplating the expression in Si Jingyu’s eyes when she had looked at him up and down.

That expression had quite clearly been an acknowledgment of his position.

He had hence been so happy that he hadn’t thought his good mood was just about to come to an end.

He picked up the teacup on his desk and took a sip. Then he prepared to go upstairs.

When he stepped into the meeting room, he saw that all the senior management staff were there and he was the last one in.

Mo Zhi didn’t refrain from making a caustic remark, “My, our CEO Mo is finally here, late! When you were late yesterday, you had the excuse that it was your first day of work. What about today then? Is it your first day of work again?”

Mo Xicheng did not respond to the taunting remark. He merely found himself a seat and sat down as though he had heard nothing. Mo Zhi almost exploded with fury at his arrogance.

He frowned and was about to say something when someone on the side gave a meaningful cough.

Mo Zhi halted and turned to look. Someone leaned in and whispered in his ear, “CEO Mo, it makes you look petty if you nitpick on small things. Why don’t we just quickly move to the meeting agenda?”

The agenda.

Mo Zhi’s mind suddenly snapped. That’s right, that’s right, get to the agenda.

He cleared his throat and smirked as he turned towards Mo Xicheng. “Mo Xicheng, you had a meeting with Director Li yesterday to discuss the collaboration. You gave your word and even went personally. I’d like to know how the discussion went.”

Everyone turned simultaneously to look at Mo Xicheng.

Mo Xicheng replied calmly, “I’m afraid this collaboration is not going to happen.”

The moment he said this, Mo Zhi instantly attacked him. “Not going to happen? What do you mean not going to happen? When we called Director Li yesterday, he showed a keen interest in our company, but now you’re telling us it’s not going to happen? What’s the meaning of this? What did you do with Director Li yesterday?!”

At this point, Gao Feng sprang onto his feet to mitigate the problem. “Director Li has never had a good reputation in the industry. He’s a man with no moral values. If this project doesn’t work, then let it be! After all, even if it would have made a profit, the fact is that his reputation is bad.”

Mo Zhi instantly sneered at that remark, “Uncle Gao, you take it too seriously. We are businessmen, not entertainers. We only look at margins, not reputation! Besides, do you know what he did to Director Li?!”

Mo Zhi did not wait to be asked and continued, “He actually gave the man a fatal kick in the crotch!”

“Woah!”

With this remark, a small commotion suddenly broke out in the meeting room.

Mo Zhi glared at Mo Xicheng furiously and hollered, “Even if you did not manage to seal a deal, this meeting wasn’t for you to make us an enemy. What you’ve done is just great, you’ve disobeyed.”
