Everyone in the meeting room was stunned.
Weren’t they there to discuss Mo Xicheng’s dismissal?
But now things were moving in the opposite direction?
However, this suggestion sounded good to everyone.
Gao Feng said loudly and clearly, “Compared to the tangible impact that Mo Zhi has created, all these intangible associations to reputation are really nothing. So what if our company suffers from a few negative remarks from the public? After a few years, the matter will inevitably die down. If we give Mo Xicheng a chance and let him take the company to greater heights, then in the future no one will doubt his capability or question his status.”
After saying these words, Gao Feng looked at Mo Hai, his gaze deep and steady.
Mo Hai did not understand why Gao Feng was behaving like this. He frowned. There was no time to analyze Gao Feng’s intentions now. He addressed everyone in the meeting room and said in a deep voice, “Every one of us makes mistakes and at the very least, I can personally make amends for what he has done. As for Mo Xicheng…”
He paused and glanced at Mo Xicheng.
The younger man narrowed his eyes and smiled scornfully.
Mo Hai could not bear to confront that faint trace of sarcasm on his face and quickly turned back to look at the others. He continued, “All the reporters are now aware that Mo Xicheng is an illegitimate son. If Mo Zhi is around, but not as the company’s CEO, and instead we have Mo Xicheng in that position, what would that look like to outsiders?”
After saying this, he added, “So my suggestion is to remove Mo Xicheng temporarily and let Mo Zhi be the CEO. We can put him under probation for six months.”
The meeting room fell silent.
So as not to embarrass Mo Hai, they couldn’t possibly say no to giving Mo Zhi a chance.
However, thinking of all the ridiculous and laughable things that Mo Zhi had done, they wondered if giving him a chance for another six months would make any difference? And more importantly, could the company potentially be able to take another hit?
Everyone sank into deep contemplation.
Gao Feng stood there facing Mo Hai, both digging their heels in.
Looking steadily at Gao Feng, Mo Hai finally said, “Old Gao, that’s enough. Please sit down.”
Gao Feng laughed frostily and said, “After all these years, I’ve had enough! How many companies have approached me to poach me? But I never left, even if I wasn’t happy working here. For your and Li Shu’s sake, I stayed. Now I’ve had it! If you continue to accommodate Mo Zhi, things will blow up one day. No, that’s not right, things have already blown up!”
Did the man know that the son that he was protecting was the actual illegitimate child?
Mo Hai frowned and started, “You—”
Gao Feng sneered, “I’m betting everything today. If you insist on making Mo Zhi the CEO, then I will submit my resignation.”
Mo Hai knitted his brow tightly and said, “Old Gao, you- Then what do you say we should do?! Are we saying that only your word goes in the company?
“Of course mine shouldn’t be the only opinion. Since we don’t agree on this matter, why not let everyone vote? We’ll see who has a higher vote and the one who secures the highest vote stays! Mo Hai, we’re getting older and see things differently. Let’s ask the people here today, how about that?
