The HR manager hesitated for a moment and then stepped into the office.
The moment he stepped in, Mo Xicheng took a step back and, with a loud bang, shut the room door.
Immediately, the HR manager knocked on the door from the inside of the room and said, “CEO Mo, CEO Mo, open the door. What are you doing? CEO Mo?”
Mo Xicheng lowered his head and looked at the key that was inserted into the doorknob. He smirked and said, “There is a staff hiring request on the desk. Help me take a look at it. Should we make any amendments?”
The HR manager was stunned at once and said, “Well, then open the door. I- I—”
“Why should I open the door? Take a look at the request first and we’ll talk about unlocking the door.”
The HR manager sounded like he was sobbing as he said, “But it’s too warm in here, how am I going to—”
Before he could finish, Mo Xicheng interrupted, “Well, you felt that I could work in there. Why are you, the HR manager, more important than I am, the CEO?”
The HR manager instantly fell silent. He wiped away the beads of perspiration that had formed on his forehead. Spent, he gulped and said, “Alright, alright. I- I’ll take a look now.”
Although there wasn’t air conditioning in that room and the strong sun came through the windows, outside of that room, it was spacious and the air conditioning was more than adequate. As he stood there, Mo Xicheng was feeling rather cool.
He was used to standing around, he often did so while filming. Hence, he didn’t feel tired standing there, reading the investment case with his head lowered.
After a while, the HR manager called out, “CEO- CEO Mo, I’m done looking through it.”
Mo Xicheng leaned against the wall and looked at the document in his hand. Upon hearing this, he said without looking up, “Hey, have you taken a good look at my request?”
“Yes- yes, I’ve read it thoroughly.
“Tell me what’s my request then?”
“This- Would you open the door first?”
Mo Xicheng continued reading the document he was holding and said, “Why should I? I think this is not a bad arrangement.”
The HR manager: …
If by now the manager had not figured out that Mo Xicheng was out to punish him, then he was a fool.
Hence, he fell silent and sat down on the sofa in the room.
The office was like a sauna and he was drenched in his own perspiration. He wiped his damp forehead, realizing for the first time that although Mo Xicheng was not a man of many words, he was extremely observant.
He gulped, slowly walked to the doorway and said, “CEO- CEO Mo, the air conditioning in this room is broken, it’s not suitable for your use. Why don’t I contact the electrician immediately to fix it?”
Upon hearing this, Mo Xicheng finally looked up and took his time in saying, “No hurry. Didn’t you say the office upstairs is under renovation and I’ll only be here a few days? So why don’t you work in here and I’ll work in the hall?”
The HR manager: …
He was a fat man and his body was naturally hard to cool, now he was already thoroughly drenched in perspiration.
He was dying to get out for some cool air and didn’t wish to stay in the room for a minute longer. And now Mo Xicheng wanted him to work there for a few days?
He almost fainted out of fright.
He could no longer tolerate it, walked over to the desk and picked up the phone to call Mo Zhi.
