"Curse?" Mo Zihan asked, thoroughly confused, "When did I curse you? Director Jiang, to me, you are just like my Grandpa. I just don't want you to suffer. Is it wrong for me to care for you? Ah, my bad! People cannot tell good from bad these days," He even glanced around the long conference table, "Do you people also think that I was cursing him to die?" He asked softly with a disappointed expression on his face.
Murmurs shot through the conference room.
"CEO Mo was just being considerate for Director Jiang," One man spoke up followed by the rest.
"Yes, where do we get a boss who cares about our wellbeing like that?"
"CEO Mo is so sincere and yet you don't value it. Director Jiang, don't you think you are overstepping your boundaries?
Mo Zihan's sincerity and kind naturally touched their hearts for a few good moments.
Director Jiang almost fainted from anger! You bloody fools, he is playing with you and you are readily being played. He wanted to shout but he put on a small smile on his face, "I am honored to have CEO Mo care for me so much."
"No need no need, it's a trifle," Mo Zihan waved his hand, "So, you guys seem to have some complaints about how I handle the issues in the company?"
When nobody answered, Mo Zihan sighed, "You don't like the way I do business?" There was pin-drop silence as nobody answered him. The man smiled, his blue eyes seemed to be shining as he spoke, "Not that I care about your opinions. I am your CEO. You don't like me? How about you draft a resignation letter for yourself? I'll gladly accept all of them considering our good relations."
"_"
Domineering.
Way too domineering.
What the hell Can't we make a complaint?
They quickly cursed themselves for being fooled by this man earlier. They even defended him against Director Jiang. In the end, they realized that they were tricked.
How could the sibling of a devil be an angel?
"Don't arrange such 'important meetings' next time. Dismiss." Mo Zihan was still smiling as he watched at their retreating backs.
Albeit his eyes darkened a little. Ganging up against him? Acting unreasonably? Huh, he was the most unreasonable person out there.
When it comes to business, he was not like his mother and elder brother who always aimed for one shot one kill.
Going around and round is not bad sometimes. The more messy things were, the more he felt that he was seeing them clearly.
In real life too, he had often acted that way. Just take his girlfriend as an example he would be lying if he said he was not mesmerized by her the first time when they met.
But that did not mean he would just pounce on her and confess. He did not like making decisions that he would come to regret tomorrow.
The more his entanglement with Ying Yue got complicated, the more he realized how much she meant to him.
After being sure of his feelings, he decided to pursue her.
Similarly, Su Corps was in a mess because of his mother's absence and when he stepped in as the Acting CEO, the responsibilities were pushed onto his shoulder.
In fact, he has got his plans to set things right. But that did not mean he would waste his time explaining himself to these geezers who did not place a little bit of trust in him.
The day he joined the company, he asked them to sit back and trust him. If they were unable to do such a simple thing, then he did not want to bother himself with them.
He leaned back on the swivel chair before covering his face in both his palms.
"I wonder what she is doing right now," He was missing his girlfriend badly but he couldn't go home so soon when there were piles of files sitting on his desk.
The peace in the office room did not last long as his Secretary ran towards him.
The young man bowed, "Sir, there is a lady outside. She demands to meet you... Uh... I could've told the guards to drag her out but" But the woman seemed to be serious when she said that said that she knows their CEO so he did not want to take a risk, "Can you check the CCTV?"
Mo Zihan nodded disinterestedly as he received the iPad from his secretary.
He was not interested in any woman other than Ying Yue but he just wanted to make sure that the woman was not some relative or distant relative.
But his eyes brightened as soon as he saw the woman. Despite her disguise, he could recognize her with one glance.
Ying Yue was pinching the receptionist's chin while their faces were dangerously closer. She seemed to be whispering something. The receptionist was all red in the face.
This woman Mo Zihan gritted his teeth. How dare she flirt with others? "Bring her here." He snarled at his young secretary who immediately ran out with his tail tucked in between his legs.
Mo Zihan stood up from his seat as he raked his fingers through his hair. Picking up the small remote control from the long conference table, he dimmed the lights in the large room.
"Alas, young man, you look like tender meat. Do you have a girlfriend?"
Mo Zihan could hear his secretary's nervous and awkward voice, "Err... No, I'm single. You can go inside, sir is waiting for you. I'll be leaving."
"Fine. See ya~" She waved at the secretary before pushing open the translucent glass door.
"Zi...ahhh" She felt herself being lifted off the floor. Her legs instinctively wrapped around his lean waist. "Zihan" She whispered his name as one of her arms wrapped around her neck.
She held his collar in the other hand as her gaze landed on his handsome face. The dim lighting cast a glow on his face, his eyelashes appeared longer and she could see his blue orbs looking at her intently.
