Chapter 1518: He Is My Son (91)
Of course, no one made any objections.
Mo Zhi was about to say something, but Mo Hai shot him a look and silenced the man immediately.
The meeting ended.
Mo Hai looked at Mo Xicheng and said, “Come into my office for a moment.”
Having said this, he walked out of the meeting room.
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. He did not need to turn around to know that the crowd behind him was talking about him.
As an illegitimate son, it was normal to be disliked by the head of the family. At first, he had gad no interest in vying for the family estate with Mo Zhi. If it weren’t for the fact that he had been forced into this position, he and s.h.i.+ Nianyao could have been married by now and be enjoying their honeymoon. Why on earth would he care about such matters?
But now, he had to stand up for himself.
At this thought, he followed Mo Hai and walked out of the meeting room.
After taking a few steps, he felt someone grab his wrist.
He halted and turned around. It was Gao Feng and the man said to him in a low voice, “Mo Xicheng, Mo Hai is a man who values relations.h.i.+ps. So don’t go into direct conflict, show your weaker side. He is not a heartless man.”
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes at this piece of advice.
So that was how it was.
He had been stubborn since childhood, hence whenever he was beaten by Mo Hai, he would just stand there and not make a noise. Inevitably, this would make Mo Hai even angrier and the beating would become harsher. Whereas Mo Zhi was different. Before Mo Hai could even touch him, he would start crying, making Mo Hai to yell a lot but do little.
He had thought that Mo Hai had no feelings for him, but he would have never expected that this was just a manifestation of Mo Hai’s personality.
Mo Xicheng raised an eyebrow and nodded at Gao Feng.
After Mo Xicheng left, Gao Feng’s a.s.sistant approached him.
The a.s.sistant remarked, “Director Gao, what do you make out of this whole thing?”
Gao Feng sighed and said, “Mo Xicheng is getting more perplexing by the day.”
Puzzled, the a.s.sistant asked, “What do you mean?”
“When he first stepped in, he was rejected by everyone, then he quickly became the savior of the company and now, everyone’s polite towards him. The moment he stepped in, Mo Zhi tried to surpress him and, within the s.p.a.ce of a day, he is on par with the man. Tell me, do you think this is something that an ordinary person would be capable of?”
The a.s.sistant frowned and said, “He’s merely lucky that Director w.a.n.g values him.”
Gao Feng gave a knowing smile and said, “In the entertainment industry, Director w.a.n.g is about the most difficult person to deal with. Being able to gain his appreciation is no small feat. Besides…”
The a.s.sistant asked curiously, “Besides what?”
“Besides, if from the start he had used Director w.a.n.g’s name, everyone would have doubted him, and they would have had to choose between the two directors. If they had chosen Director Li and had sent someone to secure the deal, then things would have been awkward where Director w.a.n.g is concerned. If I am right, he will probably be the male lead for Director w.a.n.g’s next movie. So in that case, he could have been in a very awkward position with the company, because our company can’t possibly invest in both projects at the same time. So he made it a point to offend Director Li first, and then offered Director w.a.n.g as the only solution! This was also to force Mo Zhi into relenting.”
The a.s.sistant was completely stunned when he heard this.
He looked at Gao Feng and gulped, “Did he really plan all that?”
Gao Feng smiled but did not reply.
