Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 403: Chapter 404 Does it give you a headache?

At 11:00 in the morning, Long Shan came and called me to the chairman’s office.

Mo Yizhi had already made the tea in advance. When I entered the door, he was fiddling with a tea set. If it were other people, they would definitely feel honored. After all, it was the Chairman who made the tea for them personally. But it was very hard for me to feel that way because how could you respect someone who regarded you as a tool?

“I heard about what happened to Liu Xiaosheng.” Mo Yizhi finally opened his mouth to talk after he drank the third cup of tea, his expression was very serious and his tone was very stern.

I didn’t know if he heard from Min Rou or the Liu family, but I nodded lightly.

“Did you do that to him or did he do that to himself?”

The question Mo Yizhi asked made me feel very uncomfortable, “It was Liu XIaosheng who asked the Moon Valley to prepare a wild wolf. I was dragged to the Moon Valley by Min Rou because the Third Lady wanted to embarrass me. With your relationship with the Third Lady, you should know that I was just a chess piece that was being manipulated by her, so you tell me if it was me or not.”

“Don’t get angry,” Mo Yizhi also laughed, “Little Chu, are you suspecting that I knew everything in advance?”

‘You didn’t know?’ I looked at Mo Yizhi with suspicious eyes, but Mo Yizhi didn’t answer me. But not answering me directly could already prove something.

“Min Rou told the Third Lady that it was you who saved Liu Xiaosheng; otherwise, Liu Xiaosheng would have been bitten to death by that beast,” Mo Yizhi shook his head and sighed, “but I was hoping that when I asked you that question, you would tell me that it was you who caused Liu Xiaosheng to be bitten by the wolf…”

I frowned and said, “Why?”

“Because…” As if Mo Yizhi was joking, he smiled and said, “I don’t want you to be a good person.”

I said sarcastically, “I’m sorry that your wish didn’t come true.”

Mo Yizhi was dazed for a second and then laughed loudly, “Hahaha, you little brat…”

“Chairman, what is it that you want me to come to your office? Is it just to ask me about what happened to Liu Xiaosheng?”

“Of course not. About that thing, I just want to tell you not to worry too much about it. The Liu family would not give you any trouble.” Mo Yizhi didn’t explain the reason. He simply changed to a new subject, “I think you should have heard about Project Thirteen Cities from Miss Cheng, right?”

Sure enough, this was what he wanted to talk to me about. I nodded. “Chairman wants me to join this new team, but vice-chairman Zhang’s faction strongly opposes it, and this matter is currently at a stalemate.”

“It is not to ask you to join this new team but to promote you to be the team leader of this new team. But this is not my idea, it is the Third Lady’s idea”

I was a little surprised. The Third Lady wanted to appoint me to be the team leader of Project Thirteen Cities? “Why?” I was really confused.

Mo Yizhi also didn’t answer my question, “Although it was the Third Lady’s idea, I couldn’t say it in the board meeting. Even if it is about the cooperation with her, we are two different companies after all. As the chairman of Fengchang, if people find out that it was the decision of someone from another company, our people would start to question my decision in the future. Besides, with your experience and qualification, not many people are convinced that you have the ability to do this job well….”

Wasn’t that obvious? People would only think that I was able to be promoted because of Mo Fei.

“But this morning, there was a turning point in this matter,” Mo Yizhi said slowly, “Zhang Mingjie suddenly went against his father and supported the idea of promoting you to be the project leader. He used the speculative investment you made to save Heng Xiang, this real estate company, as an example, refuting people who question your ability… Little Chu, tell me, what do you think he is doing?”

“I’m not surprised that he would do this in the meeting today. In fact, he told me that he would do this a few days ago…” I told Mo Yizhi what Zhang Mingjie said in Moon Valley that day, including his intention to join Project Thirteen Cities in exchange for his support.

“Chairman, you know the Zhang family better than I do. Whether Zhang Mingjie is being sincere or not, your judgment should be more accurate. As for whether Zhang Mingjie should join the project, it’s entirely up to you.”

I gave Mo Yizhi a difficult problem, putting him in an awkward position. Not to mention Mo Yizhi, even Long Shan could tell what I was thinking, “Xiao Chu, is this your revenge against the chairman?”

I neither admitted nor denied it, “It depends on whether it gives the chairman a headache or not.”

“It does,” Mo Yizhi kneaded his temples and gave a wry smile, “You promised Zhang Mingjie first so he could help you, but you left the difficult problem to me. Whether I agree or not, the Zhang family would only look for me. This is my only weakness, but I didn’t expect that you would spot it.”

“If I can choose, I’d rather not be promoted to be the team leader. I don’t think I will be able to endure the negative impact brought by the promotion because I am not that strong. I will not be able to pretend that those rumors will not appear.” I gave a scornful snort and said,

“As for the Zhang family… I don’t have much experience. I don’t know whether it is reasonable or not, so chairman, you can just regard what I am going to say as nonsense. I think family interests are closely related to personal interests, and personal interests can also represent family interests.

“So I don’t believe that Zhang Mingjie really intends to betray his father. After all, it is unrealistic to think that with just a few joking words of the Third Lady, he would believe that a little person like me would be able to get a cooperation project with her. No matter how I look at it, it sounds like a fantasy to me. Since it is unrealistic, do you think Zhang Mingjie would place his bet on me? If I couldn’t get the cooperation project for Fengchang, then wouldn’t other people question his judgment in the future?”

Long Shan’s face changed, “Xiao Chu, you mean…”

From the smiling face of Mo Yizhi, I was sure that he had thought of this long ago.

“Whether or not I can be the leader of the Project Thirteen Cities, chairman, you will definitely not give this position to Zhang Mingjie, right?”

Mo Yizhi nodded and said, “Yes. My second plan is that I will personally take charge of this project, let Fei’er be the project leader, and you will be her assistant.”

“Vice-chairman definitely knew that if he let this stalemate continue, you would be forced to step up and take charge of the project. Then he would have no other way except for compromise.” I said lightly,

“Since he would lose eventually, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to help his own son Zhang Mingjie. On the surface, it seemed like there was a disagreement within the Zhang family, but actually, the Zhang family avoided the crisis of being removed from the high-level executives of Fengchang. More importantly, with this opportunity, Zhang Mingjie would be able to successfully join the chairman’s faction.

“Once the cooperation project with the Third Lady is successful, as the younger generation of Fengchang who made a huge contribution, he who had participated in this project would have a chance to compete for the chairman’s position against Fei Fei. So it seems like Zhang Li stopped competing for the chairman’s position, but in fact, he is helping his son to build a solid foundation.”

Long Shan was shocked. Mo Yizhi clasped his hands with a smile, “Good, good, Little Chu, As I expected, you are really a clever man. It is not easy that you are able to see through all of this. But since you know what they are doing, why do you still promise Zhang Mingjie and let him join the Project Thirteen Cities?”

“Chairman, I think I’ve already said it clearly. I am in no position to promise him anything. It is up to you. I just didn’t reject his good intention of supporting me.” The small revenge against Mo Yizhi gave me great pleasure, I smiled triumphantly and said, “As for why I didn’t reject his good intention, because he promised me that as long as he joins the Project Thirteen Cities, he will stop going after Liusu, so why would I not want to accept it?”

Hearing what I said, both Long Shan and Mo Yizhi fell into a daze.

“You didn’t refuse it because of this naive reason?”

“Yes,” I laughed, “And Chairman, aren’t you also targeting me for the same naive reason? I just want you to experience how I feel.”

Mo Yizhi stared at me for a while and then said, “Little Chu, are you still blaming me for what happened to Miss Xue?”

Did he think that he did not have any responsibilities for what happened to Ziyuan? I sneered, “It was you who gave the two bottles of red wine to her, right?”

Mo Yizhi let out a dry cough twice, not denying it. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, he chuckled very helplessly, “You are right… Indeed, for the company and personal interests, I betray the principle of being a decent man.”

Wasn’t his principle to use any means to obtain interests? So what did he mean by betraying? I disdained his hypocritical reply because I knew that he may not really regret hurting an innocent girl…

Yes, it was a little revenge of mine, but I also had a deeper consideration. Mo Yizhi definitely would not let Zhang Mingjie participate in the cooperation project. He didn’t want to raise a strong competitor for Mo Fei. So if I accept Zhang Mingjie’s help, it would only make him look like a bad guy if he rejected Zhang Mingjie’s participation.

In this way, not only would I be able to get out of the conflict between the Zhang family and Mo Yizhi, but it would also force the Zhang family to reveal their true intention; so from Mo Fei’s perspective, it was also a good thing.

Only by revealing their true intention, would Mo Yizhi have reasons to get rid of those people from Fengchang and help Mo Fei to successfully take over Fengchang.
