Chapter 439 Leaving Bei Tian? Part 1
After Long Shan left the office to see the two women out, Mo Yizhi shook his head and smiled helplessly at me: “Do you know who Zheng Yuqiu is? Are you not worried about getting too close to her?”
“I know,” I said with a smile: “The younger sister of the woman who just called you uncle.”
“I…” Mo Yizhi didn’t know how to continue. In the end, he waved his hand helplessly and said, “Forget it, she is just as unrestrained as you anyway. You two might get along very well. Now, what do you want to talk to me about?”
I was originally curious about Yuqiu’s ident.i.ty, but Mo Yizhi didn’t seem to want to tell me, so I stopped thinking about it and told him what Zhang Mingjie had told me downstairs.
When I finished speaking, Long Shan also came back. The moment she walked in, she heard Mo Yizhi laugh and say, “It’s great, it’s really great. Why doesn’t it have anything to do with Zhang Mingjie? I think it was exactly he who instructed Gong Fanlin to hire people to attack you.”
Sure enough, this old fox planned to pin it onto Zhang Mingjie from the very beginning. “Chairman, this excuse is a bit far-fetched, right? I don’t think people would believe it. After all, Zhang Mingjie has publicly expressed his support for me. He has no reason to do this…”
“Who said that?” Mo Yizhi pulled a stern face and seriously said, “He supports you to be the leader of the Project Thirteen Cities just to get close to you and lower your guard. The woman he liked was taken away by you, so there’s no way that he had no resentment toward you. Wasn’t this the reason why he colluded with Hong Tao and Li Qi and hired a group of delinquents to attack you? Why can’t he use the same tricks twice?”
Mo Yizhi insisted on attributing the blame to Zhang Mingjie. Seeing that I frowned, he sighed and smiled: “Little Chu, didn’t I teach you a long time ago that in the business world, there is no such thing as a despicable method. The reason why Zhang Mingjie supports you is not because he is a kind person. You also understand this clearly, right?”
“But I don’t like to frame people…”
“But you’ve never been soft on your enemies,” Mo Yizhi walked to me, patted my shoulder, and said: “This is why I like you. Set your sights a little further. This is not a false accusation, it is just a precaution. After Zhang Mingjie really joined Project Thirteen Cities, it will not be easy to kick him out. I will never do stupid things like luring wolves into the house.”
How Mo Yizhi was going to deal with Zhang Mingjie was none of my business. I was just a p.a.w.n in his plan, “Then how should I deal with Zhang Mingjie?”
“You know how to deal with him, don’t you? You don’t need me to teach you. Little Chu, you are not a p.a.w.n. If you really think of yourself as a p.a.w.n, I would like you to be more compliant. At least so far, I’m not confident that I can control you.”
Before I could say anything to respond to him, Mo Yizhi continued after chuckling: “Since you have the time recently, get yourself ready.”
“Ready? Ready for what.”
After Mo Yizhi and Long Shan looked at each other, Long Shan replied: “After the cooperation with the Third Lady San is confirmed, Project Thirteen Cities will be commenced immediately. As one of the main people in charge, you will be transferred to other places…”
“Wait,” I interrupted her and said, “This is different from what I agreed to at the beginning. Chairman, you seem to have promised me that as long as the cooperation is confirmed, I can resign and leave…”
“I’ve indeed said that. But…” Mo Yizhi said with a helpless smile, “The third lady is not a fool. If our reform fails to achieve the desired effect, her company can always withdraw this plan at any time. Although she said that she will give a better deal to the company you work for, whether the project can be completed successfully or not still relies on the company’s ability. After all, her company is not a charity.”
What Mo Yizhi said was reasonable. Min Rou said that the reason why the Third Lady offered such a good condition in the cooperation plan was to repay me a favor, but after all, this was a business, not a game. It would not be that simple at all.
If the company I was working for had no ability to complete the project, then it could only be said that I failed her kindness. To put it bluntly, with just a few words, she repaid me the favor that she had owed me…
Long Shan’s evaluation of her was absolutely correct. The third lady was an out-and-out businessman.
“She was interested in cooperating with Fengchang a long time ago, right?” I speculated with a confident tone: “Saying that it is to return a favor, but actually, it is to use me for publicity.”
“There’s indeed this intention in this plan,” Mo Yizhi’s remarks did not indicate whether the Third Lady indeed intended to cooperate with Fengchang, or that her so-called repaying my favor was really just a big advertising campaign. “Not many people can figure out what she is thinking. But she is a woman of her words. Since she said it, it means that she would really do it. You probably don’t know how worried I was before. If you were hired by Li Xinghui or the Liu family, Fengchang definitely would not be able to get this project.”
“In my opinion, it’s not a good idea to let me stay in Fengchang after getting the project.” I smiled bitterly: “Chairman, do you really think that I have the ability to manage such an important project? I just graduated from the university for one year.”
“No one can carry the future of a company on their own. That’s why I hire so many people,” Mo Yizhi stared at me with the eyes of an elder, and said solemnly: “Maybe the Third Lady has other plans, but I believe that she has underestimated you. Little Chu, you are capable and talented. All you lack is a good opportunity. Now that such an opportunity has come to you, why do you still want to run away? There aren’t many such opportunities in a person’s life. Even if you are a lucky man, do you really want to waste such an opportunity?”
“Chairman, you don’t need to fool me. I know my own ability. You probably don’t even believe those words yourself. To be honest with you, I don’t like the role you and the Third Lady arranged for me. I feel like my life has been violated by you two and planned by you. In fact, I don’t think anyone would like this kind of feeling. However, since I’ve promised you to help Fei Fei get the cooperation with the Third Lady, then I will do my best no matter what intention the Third Lady has. But the reason why I’m doing it is for myself, not for other people. As a man, I simply don’t want to leave any regrets.”
