Chapter 1558: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (31)
Shi Nianyao looked at him and asked, “And if it fails?”
If it fails?
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes and said, “If it fails, I still have you don’t I?”
At once, her eyes lit up as she said, “That’s right, if it fails, you can come with me. I have shares from my family business, we’d still be rich.”
He laughed and nodded at her.
On this note, he walked out of the office and headed towards the meeting room. As he approached the meeting room, the secretary sitting outside hurriedly got to her feet. She stammered, “C- CEO Mo.”
Mo Xicheng nodded at her and said, “I’m here for the meeting.”
The junior staff was stunned.
Just like that, Mo Xicheng pushed the door and walked in.
In the meeting room, the people present were having a heated debate. Gao Feng was on his feet exchanging words with Mo Zhi, but halted at the sudden arrival of Mo Xicheng.
The sudden silence brought about an extremely awkward atmosphere in the room.
Everyone’s gaze fell simultaneously on Mo Xicheng.
After a while, Mo Zhi narrowed his eyes with a vicious expression.
Since childhood, this man had always stolen his thunder wherever and whenever he appeared. What right did he have to do that?!
At this thought, Mo Zhi immediately said, “Why are you here? We’re having an important board meeting and we don’t welcome you. Please leave.”
Mo Xicheng lowered his gaze and replied with little emotions. His steadiness was a sharp contrast to Mo Zhi’s exasperation, thus he said, “I’m still the company’s CEO, on the same level as you. Why can’t I be at the meeting?”
“You—”
“Where were you? Please continue.”
Without waiting for Mo Zhi to finish speaking, Mo Xicheng said this in an authoritative tone as he walked to the side and pulled out a chair for himself. He placed the chair right at the front and sat down.
Mo Zhi turned pale with anger and shouted, “Security, who let him in? Take him away!”
Gao Feng responded, “CEO Mo, Junior CEO Mo is right. He is currently still CEO of the company, so no matter what, he is allowed to participate in the discussion. Why aren’t we allowing him to join us?”
Mo Zhi replied, “Because he is the topic of our discussion, so he has to stay away!”
Gao Feng smirked. “Well that makes you the brother of the party concerned. I guess you should stay away too!”
Mo Zhi choked at these words.
Gao Feng looked at Mo Xicheng and said, “CEO Mo, before you came in, we were discussing the effects of public opinion. Right now your status is being very heavily criticized. There are even doubts as to whether you have the right to inherit the business, hence the company is considering removing you from your position.”
Mo Xicheng slightly squinted upon hearing his words. He looked up at everyone present in the meeting room and started, “The law allows illegitimate children to inherit the family property. I’m just wondering what the discussion is about exactly. To change our country’s law?”
“Pffftt!”
Almost everyone was amused by his comment.
Mo Xicheng looked at Mo Zhi.
The latter sneered, “Indeed, you do have the legal right to inherit the business. An illegitimate child like you, who shouldn’t even see the light of day—it’s good enough that you’ve been given shares, but to take up the CEO position in the company… I’m afraid you’re unsuitable. You are being very criticized now. If you continue to be CEO, what would become of our company? Hence, we’ve decided to remove you from your position.”
After these words, he stood up and continued, “My good brother, I think you should go home. Just sit around and wait to pocket the company’s profits every month, that isn’t too bad, is it?”
