Chapter 287: Chapter 287-288 Is It Her?

My mind was moving fast like the engine of a car spinning at a high speed of four thousand to five thousand revolutions per minute. Regarding “that person” Mo Yizhi mentioned, I was eager to find another answer for myself, but apart from her, I could not think of a second person…

Of course, Mo Yizhi did not completely keep everything from me. At least, he revealed a piece of key information. That was the other party was testing the ‘domestic market’. It meant that the other party should be a foreign company? I certainly didn’t know any foreigners, but I knew her. Five years ago, she was taken to America with her mother by her father.

This was impossible. Although she said that her father seemed to have a big company in the United States, thinking about her age and personality, she should not have the ability to inherit her father’s business, not to mention… she probably should have long forgotten me. After all, we had not been in contact for five years.

Mo Yizhi asked, “are you afraid?”

I smiled bitterly, “do I have a reason not to be afraid?”

I was really afraid that it would be her. Because facing her would mean that I had to face the regret that I had tried to forget, and also the immense guilt in my heart. I still owed her an answer, and if she was still waiting, then she had been waiting for this answer for five years. She had every reason to hate me.

“So this is my reason,” Mo Yizhi said with a solemn expression, “my third and final reason is that only if you stay in Fengchang can I protect you.”

I was taken aback for a moment, and then I understood what Mo Yizhi meant. If the other party really had malicious intent, Fengchang would be my backing.

What was this? Making use of my misfortune to serve his own ends, or he was trying to make me scared since the beginning? Or maybe… he could tell from the other party’s condition that they were targeting me?

“Chairman, I appreciate your kindness, but my decision will not change. To me, nothing is more important than Liusu.”

The past could not be changed, and I must hold the happiness in front of me tightly. If she really came back, and if she really hated me, then she would come to me eventually. Staying in Fengchang would only make things even more troublesome.

“Don’t rush to reject me,” Mo Yizhi interrupted me and said, “Little Chu, I am not asking you as the chairman, but as Fei’er elder, and an ordinary old man. You can think that I am trying to scare you, but I hope you can take a few days to think about it carefully.”

Mo Yizhi left the letter of resignation and the cheque in front of me, and said, “you take this resignation letter first. Today is Friday, so you can give me an answer next Monday.”

After all that had been said, if I still refused Mo Yizhi, it would only make me look disrespectful. Frankly speaking, my mind was a bit confused now, and Mo Yizhi’s words had a great impact on me, so I needed to sort out my thoughts. Moreover, I was no longer in the mood to hear him using all kinds of excuses to make me stay, so I simply nodded and took back the resignation letter. After thinking about it, I passed it to Long Shan, “I think it is better to leave this to Secretary Long. I will come back to give Chairman an answer, but my answer will not be changed. So, my file…”

Leaving the resignation letter and taking the file away, the purpose of this was to let Liusu see my file, so she could rest assured. Otherwise, who knew what she would think. Mo Yizhi saw through my mind and smiled, “young man, don’t be so confident. I think it is better to let us keep the file for the time being. I don’t think there is anything that can make Fei’er feel happier than this.”

Why did he think that I would change my mind? I didn’t want to argue with him, so I got up and said, “In that case, I’ll leave first.”

I had promised Sister Tiger that in the morning, I would transfer the 1.5 million yuan that I had promised to donate to the school to Zhu Danchen’s account.

“Wait, you forgot about this.” Mo Yizhi also got up and handed me the cheque on the table.

“Chairman, Ms. Mo doesn’t know men, but don’t tell me that you also don’t know men?” I frowned and said, “I won’t take this money.”

“This is your money, why don’t you want it?” Mo Yizhi sighed and said, “if you don’t take it, then other people would think that I took the money. You think I am someone who would take other people’s compensation?”

I was dazed for a second, “compensations?”

“You are not a good man, but you always like to pretend to be a good man in front of us. Have you forgotten the unscrupulous thing you did?” Long Shan took the cheque from Mo Yizhi’s hand and stuffed it directly into my jacket pocket. She then chuckled and said, “this cheque is from Zhang Mingjie. He wants Chairman to pass this check to you. So if you don’t take it, all the efforts Fei’er made to collect this debt from him would be in vain… Hmph, what is the use of telling a heartless man this? Now leave before I change my mind and hit you.”

It was not that Long Shan accidentally told me about what Mo Fei did. On the contrary, she said it deliberately. But even so, I still felt touched in my heart. Mo Fei’s gentleness and considerateness were deadly…

“By the way, Little Chu,” Mo Yizhi stopped me before I went out of the office, and said with a faint smile, “your resistance to temptation makes me feel relieved, but I still want to tell you that don’t trust others lightly. Although I have many reasons to keep you in Fengchang, the main reason is still for Fei’er. However, for some people, you are probably just a tool for them to exchange benefits. You need to be careful with these people.”

Mo Yizhi also didn’t say who these “people” were, but my heart couldn’t help but skip a beat. I faintly guessed what he was alluding to.

Seeing Mo Yizhi sitting back on the sofa, and he didn’t seem to want to speak anymore, I no longer dwelled on this question, but curiously asked, “Chairman, when we were in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort, you told me that you want to discuss something with me when I come back to the company. Is this what you want to talk to me about?”

There were no stupid people in this room, Long Shan immediately knew what I wanted to ask. She moved her helpless gaze to Mo Yizhi’s face. Mo Yizhi opened his eyes and smiled at me, “the reason why I wanted you to leave her in the past and why I want you to stay now is the same. It never changed. As long as it is for Fei’er, I would do anything. But this does not change my evaluation of you, Little Chu, I like you, but I always feel that you are not suitable for Fei’er. I can see that you really like your girlfriend, that is why you made this decision. Anyway…”

Mo Yizhi glanced at Long Shan and mocked himself, “regarding this, I am not qualified to educate you. I am probably worse than you in this regard.”

I was relieved. I didn’t want Mo Yizhi to mix the company’s development together with Mo Fei’s happiness. As for his opinion of me, it was not that important, so I didn’t care about it.

This old man was quite honest. At least, he actually told me his relationship with Long Shan indirectly. Seeing Long Shan’s face flushed red, I knew that it was time for me to leave. I left the chairman’s office, and through the gap of the closing door, I clearly saw Long Shan pounce on Mo Yizhi with an “angry” expression…

It turns out that people still like to flirt with each other when they are old.

. . .

Although my determination to resign from Fengchang had not changed, Mo Yizhi’s inexplicable reasons and plea forced me to agree to go back and reconsider it for a few more days. Originally, I wanted to tell Liusu about it, but thinking that if I returned to the investment department, I would definitely be asked a lot of questions by Elder Sister Liu and Brother Wei, so I hesitated.

Mo Yizhi refused to tell me who wanted me to represent Fengchang. Because of this, I felt very irritable. I just wanted to stay alone for a while. If I told Liusu this kind of thing, it would definitely make her worried.

So I decided not to tell her first. I wanted to go downstairs and simply tell her a few things over the phone… As I was thinking all of this while walking toward the elevator with my head down, a pair of high heels suddenly appeared before me. I was startled and quickly took a step back.

“What are you thinking! What did my uncle tell you that makes you look like you are very worried?”

I patted my chest lightly. It turned out to be Mo Fei who was standing before the elevator. With lingering fear, I said, “you are not the elevator operator, why are you standing here?”

I felt that Mo Fei deliberately kept silent, just hoping that I would bump into her.

Mo Fei blushed, “I… Can’t I come up to find out what happened? So how did the discussion with my uncle go?”

I looked around, and found that the people coming in and out of the office area all took a glance at us, and without exception, they chose to turn in the opposite direction… Obviously, no one wanted to disrupt us, and they all chose to walk to another elevator that was slightly further away.

Probably, she had been standing here for a long time, and she cared very much about my conversation with Mo Yizhi.

“Mhm,” I pretended to smile and said, “I think I should go now.”

“Really…” Mo Fei’s expression darkened, but then she quickly concealed it with a smile and said, “So? Did you do what I said and extort some money from my uncle?”
