Chapter 1563: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (36)
After a moment of hesitation, he immediately added, “I know that it was wrong of me to use the company’s circulating capital to purchase shares. Since this is the case, and everyone here is a stakeholder, how about I compensate them with a salary bonus? Wouldn’t that do? If we do this, they should be satisfied, even if there was a payment delay of a few days.”
Everyone sighed in relief when they heard this.
They exchanged looks.
Although Mo Zhi had crossed line with what he had done, things had come to this point and they decided to tolerate it.
In any case, when Mo Hai turned up, he would surely protect Mo Zhi.
They only hoped that the man would not repeat the same mistake in the future.
Seeing that the people had relaxed and stopped making a fuss over this matter, he sighed in relief. He s.h.i.+fted his gaze to Mo Xicheng and was about to speak when the latter said, “Which company’s stocks did you buy?”
Mo Zhi paused and then sneered. “Is there a need to tell you what stocks I bought?”
“Since you’re using the company’s funds, then everyone has the right to know, is that not reasonable?”
Mo Zhi choked with rage. “You—”
As though understanding Mo Xicheng’s intentions, Gao Feng went along and added, “That’s right, you’ve used the company’s circulating funds to purchase these shares, so aren’t you going to tell us? Or is there something you’re trying to hide?
His words angered Mo Zhi and the young man retorted, “Uncle Gao, what’s wrong with you? You’ve been helping this illegitimate son. Aren’t you on good terms with my mom?!”
Everyone turned to look at Gao Feng and Li Shu.
The two of them were childhood friends. They had grown up together, gone to the same school and were close like siblings. Because of Mo Hai’s great love for Li Shu on top of this, Gao Feng was a very favored person in the company.
In the recent past, Gao Feng had been disagreeing with Mo Zhi. It was especially obvious today at the meeting. Everyone had been curious about this and now that Mo Zhi had brought it up, they immediately turned to look at the two friends.
Gao Feng glanced at Li Shu and she looked up with little expression. Her gaze swept through the room full of people before she looked down again.
Gao Feng closed his eyes for a moment and then said, “I’m just speaking from an objective viewpoint! Mo Zhi, which company’s stocks did you buy exactly?”
Mo Zhi bit his lip and said, “I- I bought Hengdali State’s shares.”
Gao Feng nodded.
Everyone knew that Hendali State’s share price had risen very rapidly in the past year. All of those who had sold Hengdali State’s shares had made a hefty profit.
Hence, if that was what they had bought, and even if they didn’t make very much, they wouldn’t lose much either.
However, just as this was going through his mind, he heard someone gasp sharply.
Everyone turned to look at the person. “What’s the matter?”
The person said, “Recently, Hengdali State’s share price has been sinking. A few days ago it rose to ten dollars a share and now it has fallen to eight dollars.”
Everyone started to panic when they heard this.
Gao Feng immediately looked at Mo Zhi and asked, “How- how much did you buy those shares for?”
Mo Zhi had bought them at the peak but in that instant, how would he dare to tell the truth?
He made a mental calculation of the average price and then said, “Eight dollars.”
Gao Feng sighed in relief.
But at this point, Mo Zhi’s cell phone rang.
