“This, this is really a huge profit!”
“Yeah! For me, I don’t usually buy anything too expensive. I’m satisfied just seeing that I can earn around 1,000 to 2,000 yuan.” Xu Wan nodded as she spoke. She was very clear about the stock market.
“Alright!” Mo Yan nodded, still not very interested.
“Think about it, give it a try!” Xu Wan continued to try drawing Mo Yan in.
Mo Yan was exasperated by her. “The stock market is too risky, I won’t purchase any. But yesterday, Luo Tao said that you can take a look at a company called Zhen Yan Fang.”
“There’s also the word ‘Yan’? It can’t be that Luo Tao said it because he saw the word!” Xu Wan raised her eyebrows.
“What are you talking about! Luo Tao recommended this to sister Xu.”
Although Luo Tao definitely didn’t say it because of her name, she remembered it because of this word.
“Alright, I’ll go back and take a look.”
…
Mo Yan was having a good time, but Mo Lian was in deep trouble.
With a bang, Mo Dong knocked Mo Lian to the ground, and an angry roar came from the living room, “Mo Lian! I asked you to discuss a collaboration with Hong Jing, what did you do?”
“I was discussing a collaboration! Dad, did that little she-devil Mo Yan say something to you? Don’t believe her, she’s deliberately targeting our family!” Mo Lian wailed at Mo Dong as she shielded her swollen face, tears streaming down.
“What’s going on? Didn’t you guys go to work?”
Seeing that they were at the door, Chang Lu asked repeatedly as she ran out of the room upon hearing the noise.
“Look at the kind of daughter you have! Arrogant and domineering, unruly and willful. Not only has she been abusing her power in our own company, she even implicated another company! Do you think they will indulge you?”
“Dad! I didn’t.” Mo Lian gave an innocent look, as though she had been falsely accused, but her heart was pounding non-stop.
When she arrived at the office that morning, she saw her father rush into the office to receive a call. When he came out, he immediately brought her home. She thought that something may have gone wrong with Hong Jing, but she didn’t expect her father to hit her as soon as they got home!
Did Mo Yan really complain to her father? Didn’t she say that she would never contact her father again? This she-devil who went back on her word!
“You didn’t? If you didn’t, would the other company’s boss give me a call?”
“Boss?” This time, Mo Lian was not pretending and really couldn’t comprehend it.
“Song Yun called and said that, for the past two days, you’ve been asking Hong Jing’s supervisors to serve tea and water, insulting their employees, and even using the project to coerce the supervisors to attend meetings. Tell me, did you do it?”
“I…” Seeing Mo Dong’s certainty, Mo Lian felt increasingly guilty.
“I didn’t. They framed me.”
Seeing her daughter’s red and swollen cheeks and teary eyes, Chang Lu’s heart ached.
“Hubby, how can you just listen to Hong Jing’s one-sided story! Although Little Lian is a little conceited at home, when has she ever acted inappropriately outside? Otherwise, how can she make so many friends?”
With Chang Lu’s help, Mo Dong regained some of his rationality, but his eyes were still filled with anger as he stared at Mo Lian.
“Mo Lian, Tell me yourself, did you do those things?”
“No, I didn’t do it.”
“Alright! Mo Lian, this is what you said. I’ll confront Hong Jing’s boss right now. You come with me.”
Mo Lian was already feeling guilty. If he confronted him, wouldn’t she be exposed on the spot? She shook her head and went into Chang Lu’s arms.
“I’m not going. You’ve beaten my face into such a state. I don’t want to go out!”
Mo Dong glared fiercely at Mo Lian. “Then you’d better wait at home. I’m going to Hong Jing to get an answer.”
After saying that, Mo Dong slammed the door shut.
It was not until she heard the sound of a car starting up outside the door that Chang Lu pulled her daughter out of her embrace and asked, “Little Lian, did you really not do it?”
Mo Lian turned her face away and kept her mouth shut.
Seeing her attitude, Chang Lu knew that what Mo Dong had said was true. She knew her daughter too well.
“Little Lian, why did you do such a thing? Don’t you know how much your father cares about this project? And you even made your father be embarrassed in front of the people from other companies. What are you thinking!”
The dressing-down made Mo Lian feel even more wronged. She cried, “Mom, I didn’t want to! But I couldn’t control myself! Once I saw Mo Yan’s face, I wanted to stab her a hundred times.”
