Chapter 1489: He Is My Son (62)
At this point, another voice interrupted, “I say, Gao Feng, why do you care? CEO Mo wants to keep his face. It would be embarra.s.sing for him not to secure this project. Once the project has been secured, who cares what CEO Mo did to achieve it? Isn’t that so?”
Gao Feng choked and turned around. Another man in his fifties approached them. He sneered, “The youngsters nowadays…. Once they get angry, they don’t care and they dare to take on any project, hehe. At the slightest provocation, they bomb someone else’s building.”
Gao Feng frowned and looked at Mo Xicheng.
He spoke again, “Go and decline that project now. We, the seniors, will agree. You—”
Before he could finish, Mo Xicheng stopped him and said, “It’s alright, Uncle Gao. Thank you. I’ll take the case.”
Gao Feng’s expression darkened at once as he replied, “Mo Xicheng, you’re aware that it’s a dead end and you go ahead? You’re indeed stubborn and deserve a lesson. When the time comes, you’ll realize how serious this is.”
After he said this, Gao Feng walked away, was.h.i.+ng his hands off the matter.
Seeing this, the rest shook their heads and pointed their fingers at Mo Xicheng in disdain.
After leaving the meeting room, Gao Feng returned to his own office. He loosened his tie in anger and sat down, calming himself down by taking a few deep breaths.
Still frowning, he paused and picked up his cell phone to dial a number.
The moment the line was connected, he said, “Li Shu.”
Li Shu’s voice came through, “Gao Feng, how was the board meeting this morning? Did Mo Zhi make things difficult for Mo Xicheng?”
The moment Gao Feng heard her question, his anger rose. “You said to watch out for him, but after all, he was brought up by that mistress and has limited awareness. Mo Zhi laid a trap and he walked right into it! He wouldn’t listen when I tried to advise him. This child is too stubborn.”
Li Shu instantly sounded anxious and asked, “Gao Feng, what exactly happened? Mo Xicheng is my only son. You have to help me protect him.”
Gao Feng replied with a sigh, “Li Shu, looking at him, he has got what it takes. But after all, Mo Zhi has been in the business for many years. I don’t think he can stand against Mo Zhi. Sigh! This time, Mo Zhi only had to say a few things to agitate him and he fell right for it. How is such a person ever going to manage the business?”
Li Shu spoke up, “Don’t worry, he is not someone with no sense of propriety. He must have his own reasons for the decision.”
“What sort of logic is that? Just charging blindly like this. In the end, he’ll ruin himself. Don’t come crying to me at that point! You should take back your child and send him overseas to gain experience for a few years.”
“If I don’t keep an eye on him, with what happened today… sigh!”
There was a certain frustration in Gap Feng’s tone, as though he couldn’t wait for the young man to master the skills needed. Li Shu tried to sooth the man and said, “Don’t be anxious, Old Gao. This is my only son, shall we just wait and see? Just wait and see, ok?”
“I don’t think there’s any advantage in waiting for things to unfold. After this project, it’s best to let him go.”
