Chapter 1487: He Is My Son (60)

Mo Zhi started by giving the current status update. “Following this, I will talk about the progress of our company’s TV and Film City project.”

As he continued, he began to realize something didn’t feel quite right. Because everyone had started to look past him, at something behind him.

Frowning at once, Mo Zhi turned to look behind him.

Then he saw a very calm and composed Mo Xicheng sitting behind him, watching over him as he gave the update.

Instantly, it felt like Mo Xicheng was an Emperor watching over his own territory.

Mo Zhi immediately fell silent. That man who was supposed to be isolated now seemed arrogant and that made him feel most uncomfortable. He frowned and barked at the workers, “Place a chair here and have CEO Mo sit here!”

“Yes.”

A worker carried a chair over and placed it where Mo Zhi instructed. Traditionally, it was the spot where the right-hand man would sit.

The attitude and meaning behind this gesture was more than clear enough.

Mo Xicheng couldn’t help but smirk as he observed this childish behavior from Mo Zhi. He walked over to the chair next to Mo Zhi and sat down.

Finally satisfied, Mo Zhi continued with a sneer, “CEO Mo Xicheng, from now on, you’ll be in charge of matters related to investments. Do you have any objections?”

After all, Mo Zhi was still the company’s General Manager and although Mo Xicheng was CEO, it was impossible for him to take full responsibility of the whole company. Given that Mo Zhi had not been dismissed from his post, this distribution of responsibilities was ideal.

Mo Xicheng nodded.

But no sooner than he had nodded, Mo Zhi started to create trouble. “Mo Xicheng, I’d like to ask you, why is the project I asked the Investment Department to submit today still unfinished? The TV and Film City project has started and up to now, you still haven’t found a suitable script and a suitable director to invest in. Are you guys planning to sell other people’s productions once the TV and Film City is up and running?!”

What ridiculous remarks.

Mo Xicheng had just joined, how could he have known anything about the Investment Department? Obviously, he was picking a fight.

He narrowed his eyes and replied, “I’ll look into this matter in greater detail.”

“Indeed, you’ve just joined and don’t really know much.” Then Mo Zhi continued with a sudden change of tone. “I do have a good project here though. Take it back to your department and discuss it.”

Mo Xicheng frowned and saw that Mo Zhi had brought some documents. He placed them in front of him. “Here’s the script and some basic information about the director. From what I can tell, this would be a big production and the profits would be significant. This film is likely to be a moneymaker, so we must not miss the opportunity. Hence, Mo Xicheng, I’ll hand this over to you to manage personally.”

Was it like Mo Zhi to be so kind?

Mo Xicheng reached out for the documents curiously. When he saw the name of the director, his pupils shrank back.

Then immediately, he smiled frostily.

So it was him!

This director loved men. Basically, he had slept with the male leads of all his movies. For that reason he had a really bad reputation in the industry. But he was a talented filmmaker and every film he made ended up being a big hit. Hence, he was the investors’ darling.

And this was also the reason that this director was extremely difficult to deal with.

To others, this might have been a big problem, but to Mo Xicheng…

The man tapped his fingers on the table twice and then looked up.

Did Mo Zhi think that he could ruin his reputation by doing this? That man was way too naive.
