Chapter 1499: He Is My Son (72)

Director Li felt his goosebumps rising when Mo Xicheng said this. He gulped as the latter gave another frosty laugh and walked out of the room.

–

Mo Xicheng had a gloomy expression on his face when he left the room. It was hard to restrain the anger he was feeling.

Even Gao Feng, who was a veteran in the business world, was feeling the pressure that this anger was exerting.

Frowning as he followed Mo Xicheng, he asked, “Who is Liu Liu?”

Mo Xicheng turned and glanced at Gao Feng without answering his question. Instead, he asked, “Uncle Gao, I have a question for you.”

Gao Feng hesitated for a moment and then said, “Go ahead.”

Mo Xicheng asked, “May I know why you’re helping me?”

Immediately, Gao Feng replied, “Someone asked me to, so I’m obligated! It’s not as though I have a choice, so I hope you’re not a blockhead. Look, you lashed out at Director Li in a fit of anger, but did you think about how you’re going to explain to Mo Zhi tomorrow that you haven’t been able to secure the investment deal?”

Since Gao Feng was so secretive and did not want to be upfront, Mo Xicheng couldn’t help raising his guard.

He had only just started working in the company and did not have much understanding of the people and how things worked in the office. He had no idea whose side Gao Feng was on, but he knew that the man had been very supportive of Mo Zhi in the past. Now that Gao Feng was suddenly being so helpful with him, he was extremely cautious.

Hence, he did not want to say too much.

Instead, he said, “I’ll deal with things as they come.”

Gao Feng was angered by the young man’s words at once. He chided Mo Xicheng, “How can you just leave things till then? Obviously, Mo Zhi has laid a trap for you to walk into! Don’t you know what sort of person Director Li is? Now you’re stuck and I’d like to see how you’re going to explain this to the company. It’s bad enough that you didn’t secure the project, now to top it off you’ve offended Director Li! Do you know that man’s background? Offending him means offending half the directors in the industry. For sure Mo Zhi will give you a good scolding tomorrow. Yet you’re telling me you have no idea how you’re going to deal with this?”

Gao Feng didn’t look like he was pretending.

Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes and nodded at Gao Feng once again, then he turned and walked away.

Gao Feng turned pale with anger and said angrily to his assistant, “This rotten egg! He’s a worse idiot than I imagined. Does he really think he’s the young master of the Mo family? Or one of those wealthy second-generation kids who can do whatever they damn please? I used to think that he was a decent humble celebrity. Who would’ve thought that he’d become this audacious? He thinks that Mo Hai will protect him if he gets into trouble? How could someone like that be Li Shu’s son? He doesn’t even measure up to Mo Zhi.”

He said these words heaving angrily. After venting his anger, he frowned and turned to look into the private room, muttering, “What do we do now? For sure we won’t be able to placate Director Li. Mo Zhi is going to harp on this in tomorrow’s meeting. He- We’re not going to have an easy time in the office from now on.”

His assistant sighed as well and said, “Indeed.”

He frowned and took another deep breath. “Nevermind, I’ll just do my best to defend him tomorrow. That’s all I can do. From then on, he just has to rely on his luck. At least after this episode, I’ll have fulfilled my obligations towards Li Shu.”

He lowered his head with frustration.
