Problematic Little Sister Fell In Love With Me

“Little Chu, the reason I want you to stay is to achieve my selfish goal…”

Sure enough, he was beating around the bush. After spending so much time talking about other things, he finally went back to the original topic, “I don’t understand what you mean.”

“You understand what I mean. You just pretend that you did not understand,” Mo Yizhi was very confident. He waved his hand to stop me and said. “Last time I wanted to let you resign in the name of violating the company’s rule. But this kind of reason cannot fool Fei’er. She knows what I am worried about. So she told me that she lied to you because she fell in love with you…”

Mo Fei actually told this to Mo Yizhi. No wonder that Mo Yizhi would know that I would come back to the company again to give the resignation letter. Now it finally made sense. But I still didn’t say anything. I quietly waited for him to continue.

“Little Chu, this is the first reason why I want you to stay. When I found out that Fei’er deceived you to invest in Heng Xiang, she denied that she treated you as a substitute for her father, but your departure made her suddenly become mature. It was the first time since her father passed away that she honestly faced herself and opened up to…” Mo Yizhi had a relieved smile on his face, “this is a good sign. Fei’er finally got over her father’s death and began to gradually reveal her feelings…”

“So you want me to continue to stay in Fengchang?” Mo Fei, who dared to face her past, indeed became mature and brave, but her maturity and bravery scared me. “Chairman, I think you should understand that I am not a psychiatrist, and this is not a game. You are not helping her but indulging her. This will hurt her, Liusu, and me.”

Mo Yizhi was dazed. Then he smiled, “Little Chu, I think you have misunderstood me. I didn’t mean to fix you up with Fei’er. What I am going to say may offend you, but I hope you won’t keep it in mind.” Mo Yizhi organized his words for a while and continued, “Fei’er has never had a relationship with a man before, although she is twenty-five years old, her current mentality is similar to that of a young girl who has fallen in love for the first time. I am afraid that her feelings toward you are derived more from the desire and expectation of having a romantic relationship with a man. After all, she has been isolating herself from everyone since she was at a very young age, and you are the person who helped her to open her heart. It is just like a blind person who suddenly could see things the first time, the first scene she saw would inevitably make her excited, but as time goes by, she would find more interesting and exciting things, then, do you think the original excitement would still last at that time?”

After saying that, Mo Yizhi glanced at Long Shan. The expression of seeking confirmation made his words very unconvincing. Obviously, the analysis of Mo Fei’s psychology most likely came from Long Shan. But this glance also approved another thing. And that was the relationship between these two people was definitely not pure!

“Maybe you don’t like what I said, but you can treat them as elders’ nagging,” Mo Yizhi said sincerely to me, “Little Chu, you are a capable person. It can be seen from the fact that you never lost once in the secret fight with Liu Xiaosheng and Zhang Mingjie. You are also a smart and brave man, what happened in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort can clearly prove that. But your shortcomings are also very obvious. You are unmotivated, easily satisfied with things as they are, and reluctant to move forward. I can’t see any verve or any ambition from you. This is your great weakness. You like to stay low-key, but from time to time, you will subconsciously stand out from the rest of the people and create many enemies. Isn’t this completely at odds with your philosophy of life? So, maybe you think that you have seen through the emptiness of the material world, but you haven’t seen through yourself thoroughly. To put it nicely, you are still very nice, but if I needed to be blunt about it, I would say that you are very naive…”

I was naive? Mo Yizhi’s words were really unpleasant to hear, but I didn’t know how to refute him. The anger in my heart rushed to my head and blushed my cheeks. He was right. I was not calm and mature enough. Although I said that I was satisfied with what I had, and I preferred to stay low-key, I often let my emotion dominate my decisions, and get involved in the unnecessary troubles. So saying that I was naive was not all wrong. Whether it was Zhang Mingjie or Liu Xiaosheng, this was exactly how the conflicts between us were formed.

Mo Yizhi had a lot more experience than me. He had seen all kinds of people before, so his evaluation of me was objective and accurate. It was an opinion that was worth thinking about. But I didn’t understand why he wanted to tell me this.

“You are very kind. Although you and Fei’er’s father have many things in common, there are many differences as well…”

I was dazed. “I think you now know what I mean, right?” Mo Yizhi smiled softly and said.

“You want to say that Ms. Mo likes me because I have many things in common with her father, but she will eventually lose interest in me because of our differences?”

“It’s just a possibility,” Mo Yizhi said, “with this reason, I think there shouldn’t be that much pressure for you to stay, right?”

It was indeed possible, but thinking of how Mo Fei made overtures to me… I smiled bitterly and shook my head. “I’m sorry. This is the risk I can’t afford to take. If something happens before she loses interest, who will take the responsibility? Chairman, I know you care about Ms. Mo, and I respect that, but this result will undoubtedly hurt my relationship with Liusu. After all, I have already promised her that I would resign.”

My instinct told me that Mo Yizhi was just trying to find a reason to make me stay in Fengchang. He was not worried that Mo Fei would really like me. He was simply indulging Mo Fei!

But was Mo Fei a kind of person who was fickle in affection? It was obviously not. Mo Yizhi should know her better than I do. Wasn’t he always worried about Mo Fei being so attached to me?

Mo Yizhi was not surprised, as if my rejection was something he had expected, “Little Chu, do you really have no feeling for Fei’er?”

It was because I had feelings for her, so I had to leave. I did not answer Mo Yizhi, but said lightly, “you just said that this is just the first reason you want me to leave. Then what is the second reason?”

Mo Yizhi had a calm expression, and while pouring tea, he said, “I’m too old and tired. Sooner or later, Fei’er will take over Fengchang…”

I frowned, “are you trying to humiliate me?”

“No. As I said, I am begging you,” Mo Yizhi personally passed a cup of hot tea to me, while Long Shan took away the previous cold tea. “this is my second reason. For the future of Fengchang Group to be more successful, I hope you can stay.”

His words were clearly exaggerated. Although he tried to flatter me, it made me feel even more humiliated. “Chairman, do you know my position and qualifications in Fengchang?” I seriously asked.

I was just a small employee who used to work in a team that was called the team of unskilled workers. Even the company’s cleaning aunty had more experience than me. Mo Yizhi actually said that I could make Fengchang more successful in the future?

“Those are not important…” Mo Yizhi nodded to Long Shan. Long Shan immediately went to Mo Yizhi’s desk and fetched a thick file. I didn’t know what it was, so after I took the file, I glanced it through briefly. The pictures on this file were mostly colored photos of electronic products and medical equipment. All the descriptions were in English. My English level was below average, so I didn’t understand anything about it…

“You must have already heard about it when you were working in the investment department that the company is trying to recoup money for the next big project, right?” Mo Yizhi pointed to the files in my hand. His eyes deep in his eye sockets were no longer muddy. It revealed the sharp and shrewd light. The serious feeling that he suddenly gave out made me fall in a daze, “Whether it’s retail or real estate, industry competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Although Fengchang has not been affected by the economic crisis, many serious problems gradually emerged. In the past two years, we have not been able to make a significant profit. If the problems continue, sooner or later, we will lose our leading position in the market. And to solve those problems and to survive, we must seek development in more directions. So what you have in your hands is the future of Fengchang Group!”

Although I didn’t have much experience, I was not stupid, “you mean… electronic technology?”

Fengchang began as a retail business and later set foot in the real estate industry. Their direction of development was indeed not clear. When I first came to the company, the company already showed interest in the electronics industry, so I always felt that the goal of the investment department was to explore the markets in other industries. Using investment as a method, they hoped to get a deeper understanding of other markets and find the right direction of development.

This was probably the reason why Mo Yizhi wanted Mo Fei to be in charge of the investment department. If the company’s transformation was successful in the future, then Mo Fei, who was still young, would be able to claim most of the credit, thus making her the leader of Fengchang would be justified.

In this way, it was not difficult to understand why many opponents of Mo Yizhi, including Vice Chairman Zhang Li, had to arrange people to stay in the investment department at all costs. They all saw through Mo Yizhi’s intentions. But what made them even more frightened was Mo Fei’s abilities and ambitions. Because whether it was the dismissal of Li Qi and Hong Tao, or the removal of Fang Kefan, it was enough to prove that Mo Fei was not an incompetent woman.

Although the company to seek transformation had already been shown the beginning, I did not expect that Mo Yizhi would be so bold. He actually skipped the steps of testing the reactions of his opponents in the company, and suddenly transformed the small conflicts of interest in the company into the big major war. It could even be said that he had staked it all in this transformation.

He was truly a wise man with broad vision and great courage.
