Gao Feng had been waiting for Mo Xicheng in the private room, so he had thought that the man would at least come in. Then he would have stopped Mo Xicheng and gone next door to talk to Director Li instead. Either that, or he would have accompanied Mo Xicheng.
Yet he had not expected that Mo Xicheng would not only be late for the meeting, but that he would also put on airs and ignore his offer of help.
He almost exploded in anger at once.
His assistant standing outside the door was stunned too and turned back to look at Gao Feng. He was at a loss for words.
Did Mo Xicheng not realize that Gao Feng was trying to help him?
Why had he rejected their help?
The two of them in the room stared at each other, stumped. Finally, Gao Feng slammed the table top with his hand and hollered angrily, “Idiot! I’m not going to help him! Let him bash his head against the wall! He won’t give up until he’s in a dead end.”
But after saying this, Gao Feng did not leave. On the contrary, he sat back down on the seat.
Noticing this, the assistant standing at the doorway burst out laughing.
Hadn’t he said he wasn’t going to care?
Since he didn’t care, why was he sitting here still? Wasn’t it obvious that he was worried something might happen?
The assistant tried to suppress his laughter as he looked at Gao Feng and asked, “Director Li would be unhappy that CEO Mo is late? It’s CEO Mo’s first day at work today. When I left the office, I saw that his personal assistant was getting the car ready. Why is he late?”
Upon hearing this, Gao Feng grunted and said scornfully, “He has no sense of responsibility at all, doesn’t use his brain. How can such a person be Li Shu’s son?”
He took a deep breath and said, “Whatever. At least I don’t owe Li Shu now that I’ve helped him! Go listen to what’s going on. If something doesn’t look good, dash in and don’t let the rascal be taken advantage of! Also, keep an eye on the paparazzi and don’t let them take any photos.”
“Roger.”
After this, the assistant walked out of the private room to check on the next room.
Mo Xicheng opened the private room door and walked in. He noted that Director Li was waiting for him in the dark room, his expression livid.
Seeing the young man walk in, Director Li sneered, “CEO Mo, you are young but you act like a big shot, don’t you? You’re half an hour late!”
Mo Xicheng’s assistant quickly explained, “Director Li, there was a traffic jam—”
Before he could finish, Mo Xicheng cut in arrogantly, “I have a busy schedule, it seems like I’ve kept Director Li waiting.”
Director Li’s face ashened at Mo Xicheng’s rude tone.
He stared at the young man, his gaze scanning Mo Xicheng’s face. Finally, with an icy laugh, he pointed to the sofa seat next to himself and said with hidden intentions, “Weren’t we going to talk about a collaboration? Please take a seat, CEO Mo.”
Mo Xicheng lifted his gaze to look at that seat and walked over with his eyes cast down. However, he did not sit next to Director Li as the man had suggested, but took the seat opposite the older man.
Director Li took a look at Mo Xicheng.
The private room was dimly lit and so when Mo Xicheng had been standing at the doorway, his back had been to the light. Hence, Director Li hadn’t been able to see his face clearly.
Now that Mo Xicheng was sitting opposite him, he could see every detail on the young man’s face.
They had already heard of each other within the entertainment circle. Except that Director Li had a certain reputation and Mo Xicheng had always kept a low profile. So this was the first time that they met face-to-face.
