“Do you know that Director Li was sent to the hospital? The doctor said that you caused permanent damage in the area you kicked.”
“Director Li called me, yelled at me and also said that he’s not going to let the Mo family off easily. Do you know Director Li’s background? Now that you’ve offended him, are you planning to leave the Mo family in dire straits?”
“And also, who would have thought you’re so rash and careless, despite your steady and confident exterior? Who do you think you are? Did you think just because you’ve stepped into this company, it means you’re a rich second-generation heir? And that you can just beat up anyone as you wish? Are you stupid or something?”
Gao Feng couldn’t bear to hear all of this berating from Mo Zhi and tried to intervene, “Alright, it’s history now. It’s not the time to hold anyone accountable, but to think of what the next step should be.”
Mo Zhi sneered, “Next step? Director Li calls the shots for about half of the entertainment industry. Now that we’ve offended him, you’re asking what the next step is? How would I know? I should be asking you the same question! After what has happened, no one will want to collaborate with us even if we throw money at them. Any directors or filming productions that have previously collaborated with Director Li will ignore us! And in the future, even after the TV and Film City has been built, we may not even be able to get any films to the big screen.”
“Mo Xicheng, do you know what you’ve done? Dad even went as far as saying you’re capable and asked me to look after you, but you? You locked the HR manager in your office yesterday and created trouble all day, and today it’s this crap. I think you’re not serious about working here in the long term.”
Gao Feng tried to mitigate it again. “Enough, let’s not talk about these things. Where Director Li is concerned, I can bring him some gifts and offer an apology personally. Where the film is concerned—”
Mo Zhi interrupted with an icy sneer, “Bring him some gifts and offer an apology? Do you think this will solve the problem? Let me tell you, Director Li has said that he’s found a lawyer to sue Mo Xicheng and our company.”
Someone said immediately, “This trouble was caused by Mo Xicheng alone, what has it got to do with the company?
“That’s right, what has it got to do with us?”
“Sigh, didn’t we say we shouldn’t get a person who has no experience to interfere with the company’s business? Interpersonal relationships are complex. He’s new after all and doesn’t know anything.”
“We should ask Senior CEO Mo to get him out of the CEO position!
“Exactly. How can we allow someone like him to hold such a high position?”
Seeing that everyone in the meeting room was interrupting with their opinions, Gao Feng quickly said, “Everyone makes mistakes at one point or another. As long as we make up for it, it’s good.”
Mo Zhi could not help but laugh at this remark. “Make up for it? About the only other director in the industry who is on par with Director Li is Director Wang. Now that we’ve offended Director Li, unless our friend here can get a deal of about the same scale, I don’t see how else he can make up for it.”
After he had made that remark, Mo Xicheng spoke, “What makes you say I’m incapable to get a film investment deal of about the same scale?”
Everyone in the room turned simultaneously to look at him.
Mo Zhi frowned and glared at the other man. After a moment, he said, “That is impossible! Among all the recent projects, Director Li’s film is the biggest one.”
The corners of Mo Xicheng’s mouth curved into a frosty smirk as he said, “What makes you think this is the biggest film project?”
