“The money is about to come in. Listen carefully. Put in all the money and then in ten days, I want you to cash it out. Regardless of whether we lose or make money, do you understand?!”
Yao Lili instantly said, “I know. Isn’t my son the best? I knew you could do it for sure!”
Looking triumphant at once, Mo Zhi said arrogantly, “That’s true. You have to know who you’re dealing with. But where the shares are concerned, you have to hurry, you can’t delay it. If by the end of the month we can’t return the money, I won’t be able to answer for the construction team and if the matter escalates, it’s going to have a bad impact on me.”
“Ok, I got it, but don’t worry too much! It’s your dad. You’re just taking your dad’s money to do a small business, isn’t that the normal thing to do? So what if you make a loss? It’s your dad’s money and you can spend it as you wish.”
Mo Zhi laughed and said, “True, you’re right. That is my money and mine alone. I can spend it as I wish! You proceed with buying the shares and just add a bit more money.”
At this point, he suddenly froze.
To prevent anyone from hearing the conversation with Yao Lili, Mo Zhi went to the balcony. He was about to step on the balcony when he unexpectedly ran into Mo Xicheng, standing just around the corner.
He had a fright and stopped midway through the sentence.
Yao Lili continued, “Alright, I know. I will put more money. What are you doing? Why have you gone silent?”
Mo Zhi gulped and immediately placed his hand over the phone speaker, fearing that Mo Xicheng might hear Yao Lili’s voice. Then he said in a low voice, “Alright, I know. I have to go.”
On this note, he hung up.
Immediately, he looked at Mo Xicheng.
He smiled icily and asked, “What did you hear?”
Mo Xicheng smiled back just as coldy. “Everything.”
Mo Zhi’s heart missed a beat as he tried to recall. To avoid exposing the identity of whom he had been talking to, he had not addressed the other party. Hence, Mo Xicheng couldn’t have known that it was Yao Lili on the line.
As long as he didn’t know, then Mo Xicheng wouldn’t be able to correctly guess the nature of his relationship with Yao Lili.
With this thought, he sighed in relief at once.
He lifted his head to look at Mo Xicheng and said, “I don’t know what you heard but, I’ll have you know that the funds are mine to use now, as Dad has agreed. So it’s useless even if you intercept me here. I suggest you get back to work.”
After he said this, he was about to walk around Mo Xicheng to leave.
However after a few steps, Mo Xicheng grabbed him by his shoulder.
Mo Zhi turned around. Mo Xicheng said unhurriedly, “You’re not using the funds to pay the workers. You’re using the money to buy more shares!”
Seeing that Mo Xicheng knew what was going on, he panicked for a moment, but calmed down quickly.
He smirked and said, “That’s right. The money is not for the workers indeed. The contract states that the payment is due on the 30th of the month. I’d be a fool to pay them now! But so what? The money’s mine now!! You can’t have it even if you wanted it.”
