Chapter 1513: He Is My Son (86)
At Mo Zhi’s words, someone got onto his feet and added, “That’s right, it’s impossible that Director Wang would start filming this year. And our project can’t wait till next year, we have to start launching our investments soon. You really shouldn’t have used Director Wang’s name to trick us and intimidate us.”
“Exactly. We haven’t even started discussing how to deal with you for trashing our project and here you go, bullshitting about Director Wang. We don’t even know when he’ll start another film. Do you intent to keep us waiting for your first investment?”
“Do you even know what is going on with the project that we gave you to negotiate? This was going to be our company’s first investment in a big production. It’s a huge project with huge impacts. As though it’s not bad enough that you beat up Director Li, now you’re trying to silence us using Director Wang’s name. This is simply…”
“…”
One comment after the other came as Mo Xicheng looked up from his cell phone.
He cast his gaze over the crowd and gave a frosty smile. Finally, he placed his cell phone on the table and slammed it with both hands. After the noise died down, he calmly said, “It’s been announced.”
He said those words steadily but also casually, instantly quietening the stirred atmosphere. Everyone turned simultaneously to look at him, and then their gaze fell on his cell phone screen.
They did not get what he meant.
Until someone reached out and picked up the phone. After one glance, he put the phone back with astonishment and took out his own cell phone. He logged into Weibo and, after he saw that the news came from an official source, he was stunned to the extreme and said, “This- this is actually true!”
“What’s true?”
That person held his cell phone out for the others to see.
The people gasped in surprise. It was beyond their imagination that the matter could take such a big turn.
Everyone turned their attention to the news on the cell phone at once.
Mo Zhi was puzzled as he looked at the people’s reaction and asked, “What’s the matter?”
“Hurry up and look at this, CEO Mo!”
Someone handed him the cell phone. Mo Zhi widened his eyes upon reading the content. “How could this be possible?”
At once, he narrowed his eyes.
Gripping the man’s cell phone tightly, he looked up and gave Mo Xicheng a hostile glare.
He knew that Mo Xicheng had surely done this on purpose.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have kept quiet about it the day before and only announced it today.
He was sure that Mo Xicheng had allowed him to supress him so that he could retaliate when cornered. When looking at the situation now, it was indeed a beautiful counterattack.
Mo Zhi clenched his fists tightly as he stared at Mo Xicheng. Then he snorted, “Even if the news about Director Wang starting to film are real, so what? How would he possibly let you invest 40 percent?”
Mo Xicheng raised an eyebrow when he heard this. He did not speak. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Mo Zhi turned around and the door swung open. The receptionist stood there looking uncertain as she spoke, “CEO Mo, someone’s looking for you.”
Mo Zhi instantly waved his hand impatiently and said, “Can’t you see I’m in a meeting? Who’s looking for me without an appointment? Tell him to wait!”
After he said those words, the receptionist looked awkward. She coughed softly and said, “CEO Mo Zhi, I was referring to CEO Mo Xicheng.”
