Mo Xicheng stood outside the room as he continued to read the document. Now he was getting a good idea of the profile and understood the investment case and its scale.
He closed the document and hung on to it.
At this point, he heard approaching footsteps.
He raised his eyes and saw Mo Zhi walking towards him with a few men.
His eyes narrowed as he stood there and stared at the approaching Mo Zhi.
Mo Zhi glared at Mo Xicheng and demanded, “Open the door.”
Mo Xicheng raised an eyebrow and said, “And why should I? This is my office.”
Mo Zhi sneered, “The HR manager is in there. I am asking you to open the door and let him out.”
Mo Xicheng dropped his gaze expressionlessly and replied, “I’m discussing work with him and I don’t think that’s against the rules.”
Mo Zhi demanded again, “I am asking you to open the door so open it!”
Mo Xicheng cast his gaze down and smirked before he fished out the key and opened the door.
The HR manager burst out of the room.
The man removed his suit jacket, revealing the shirt he was wearing underneath. The back of the shirt was completely soaked with perspiration. Even his fringe was dripping wet, so the temperature conditions of the room were obvious.
The fat man took in big gulps of air, heaving as he used his hands to fan himself so that he could cool down.
Mo Xicheng stared at him and asked, “Is it comfortable in there?”
The HR manager mumbled, “It’s- it’s alright.”
Mo Xicheng replied, “Well then, would you like to continue reading the document inside?”
The HR manager instantly waved his hands and said, “No need, no need. The air conditioning is broken. I’ll get someone to fix it.”
At those words, Mo Zhi grunted coldly and said, “Mo Xicheng, you’re telling me you can’t even bear a bit of trouble? Huh? You’re so delicate and fragile?”
Mo Xicheng wasn’t the least ruffled as he replied, “Do you mean you’re willing to work in here? I can let you have the space.”
Mo Zhi: …!!
He turned to glance at the HR manager, raised his hand with fury and stabbed at the air with his finger. Without another word, he turned and left in a huff.
After Mo Zhi left, Mo Xicheng looked at the HR manager impassively and said, “I need a secretary. Apart from this, before the air conditioner gets fixed, you will work in my office and I will work out here. Which is quite a good arrangement. We won’t get in each other’s way.”
With that remark, the HR manager instantly nodded and said, “I understand, I will get you an assistant. The air conditioner will be fixed within the hour! But since you, CEO Mo, are so busy, I shall not be a bother here. I need to look for the people to get these done.”
Putting on a magnanimous expression, Mo Xicheng nodded and said, “Alright then, off you go.”
The manager sighed with relief at once as he sped away, as though afraid that Mo Xicheng would keep him another minute.
Observing this, Mo Xicheng cast his gaze down and remained stony-faced.
He knew the manager wasn’t an evil man, he had just been instructed by Mo Zhi.
But if everyone started behaving badly under Mo Zhi’s instructions, then he would not have the time to do anything else in the company.
This initial display of his strength was important, and the HR manager was just an opportunity.
