“Do you have a problem with your ears?”
The man’s voice was indifferent, causing Zhong Kai’s hair to stand on end. He quickly turned around and gave an order, “Xiaoliu, Xiaozhang, quickly get the security guard!”
At this moment, Zhang Liya had already spotted Xiao Yebai and started cursing recklessly, “Xiao Yebai, you ungrateful wretch! You ungrateful dog! Once you made it big, you stopped caring about your family. What you’ve done will come back to haunt you, you’ll be struck by lightning…”
Xiao Yebai turned around, “Get someone to shut her up.”
Zhong Kai was speechless again.
Even after Xiao Yebai had entered his office and closed the door, Zhang Liya was still spouting curses. The corridor was filled with onlookers, all buzzing with their discussions.
People always enjoy prying into other people’s private matters, especially when the person in question is the Mo Family’s favored future son-in-law, Xiao Yebai, who usually interacts minimalistically and carries himself with a detached air, seeming untainted by worldly affairs.
“Everyone back to work, nothing to see here.” Zhong Kai commanded, then turned to Zhang Liya, “This is a company. Please refrain from making any more noise…”
“Who are you?” Zhang Liya interrupted.
“I am Mr. Xiao’s assistant…”
“Just a lackey – who do you think you are, speaking to me like that!” Zhang Liya yelled.
Being called a lackey, Zhong Kai’s face turned ugly, “Ms. Xu already explained that the chairman really isn’t here. If you continue to make a fuss, don’t blame me for being impolite…”
“I am the chairman’s family. Speak respectfully when you talk to me, or I’ll have the chairman fire you!”
The security guard finally arrived. Zhong Kai heaved a sigh of relief and hastily ordered, “Security! Throw this crazy woman out!”
Xiao Depeng quickly held his wife back, trying to placate her with a smile on his face, “Since Chairman Mo is not here, there’s no need for security. We’ll leave on our own.”
After much persuasion, they finally managed to get Zhang Liya to leave.
Zhong Kai shook his head.
It was truly unlucky to have such relatives as Mr. Xiao did.
As Zhong Kai returned to the secretarial office, he heard chatter coming from the interior.
“That sort of shrew, if it was up to me, I’d have slapped her a long time ago!”
“Regardless, she is a relative. Wasn’t it a bit too much for Mr. Xiao to have the security escort her away?”
“What’s too much about it? This kind of relative only brings humiliation!”
“Indeed, Mr. Xiao had to consider his reputation too – he’s a self-made man, after all.”
Zhong Kai stepped in, forcefully slamming the desk, “During work hours, anyone further discussing gossip will be dismissed immediately!”
The secretarial office immediately turned silent.
**
In the office, apart from the low hum produced by the wind passing through the window, no other sound was heard.
The man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window was as still as a statue, his emotions hidden deep within his eyes, mirroring the dismal weather outside, where the sky was crowded with dark clouds.
About an hour later, the door was abruptly pushed open accompanied by a harsh accusation, “Xiao Yebai, what is the meaning of this email!”
An A4. document was thrown onto the office desk.
The man who’d entered was in his fifties. Dressed in a grey suit, his face was red and his voice high-pitched, clearly livid.
“I have been with the Mo Group for nearly thirty years. Back when I was serving your father, you were nothing more than a child! Now that you’re merely an acting CEO, how dare you try to eject me from the board!”
Xiao Yebai turned around.
The gloom in his eyes dissipated. Wearing flat glasses, a slim-fit, hand-stitched black suit, he looked handsome and refined.
“This decision was made during the recent board meeting. Did you not attend, or did you just forget what was discussed due to your failing memory?” “Bastard!” Humiliated by someone half his age, the chairman could hardly tolerate it. He slammed his hand on the table, “How dare you speak to me this way! You’re nothing but a son-in-law to the Mo family, with the responsibility of managing the company. Even the Mo father and son wouldn’t dare to speak to me in such a manner!”
With a seemingly indifferent smile tugging at his lips, a hint of mockery could be seen in his eyes behind the glasses, “In that case, you may want discuss the matter directly with the Mo father and son, why discuss it with me?”
“You…” The chairman was shaking with anger.
Everyone knew that the Mo Group was built single-handedly by old man Mo. Mo Yaoxiong was mediocre and had a son, Mo Weiyi, who was even less capable.
Thus, ever since Xiao Yebai married Mo Weiyi and became the acting CEO, the power of the Mo Group had been gradually transferring into his hands.
In recent years, Xiao Yebai had acted ruthlessly and cunning. Many old shareholders were expelled but dare not voice their anger. He had just not expected… that one day, he too, would arrive at such a point!
“Xiao Yebai.” The chairman voiced angrily, “Everyone knows that you only got to where you are today by marrying the Mo Family’s Little Princess. In the end, you’re nothing more than a watchdog for the Mo Family by climbing up the ladder relying on a woman! Now that you’re working for the Mo Family, offending so many people, when the day comes that the Mo Family no longer needs you, you’ll be kicked out the door…”
“As for all of that, there’s no need for your concern, Chairman Zhang,” Xiao Yebai, seemingly disinterested, cut him off, “I read your medical report from last year. Your blood pressure isn’t good. Maybe you should focus more on your health.”
“You…”
All of a sudden, a grating mobile ringtone was heard.
Xiao Yebai walked over, saw the caller id, and his pupils slightly contracted.
“Uncle Shi.”
“Young Master Xiao, could you please rush over to the old house immediately! Your aunt and uncle turned up unexpectedly. The old master is furious..”
