BXBX NOVEL Chapter 422: 320 Hope is Her Master_l
The moment he arrived, all attention in the room was immediately drawn to him.
Upon seeing him, Mo Jianyu lightly tapped on the armrest of his seat and delivered a derisive remark while sporting a forced smile, “The busy man finally shows up.”
Mo Shiting chose to ignore his sarcastic mockery, but considering that these people were all his elders, he did not forget his manners. He walked up to them and gave a slight bow, “Greetings, Uncles, Aunts.”
After exchanging pleasantries, he decisively went over to stand next to Gu Li.
At this point, the servants had brought over two stools, one for each member of the couple.
Once they were seated, Old Master Mo began to speak, “You wanted to speak to Shiting, didn’t you? Now that he’s here, speak your mind.”
“Brother, you do the talking.”
Mo Jianyu turned his gaze to Mo Jianming.
After scanning the room and receiving the elders’ consent, Mo Jianming detailed, “Like this… today, on the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a day symbolizing family reunion, we convened here to emphasize that the Mo family is a complete, indivisible unit. Regrettably, Shiting breached the teachings of the old ancestors and we had no choice but to deprive him of his control over the Mo Group, but that was never the intention of us all. After observation over the period, we conclude that Shiting is fully capable of leading the massive enterprise that the Mo family is. So, we hope that Shiting could return and resume his position as the president of the Mo Group. As for the Xinghe Group, it should once again become a subsidiary of the Mo Group. Now, how do you feel about this?”
Mo Jianming managed to say all these without changing his facial expression, prompting a pin drop silence in the room.
Gu Li internally sneered at how he could deliver such audacious words so solemnly, she was just about to applaud sarcastically.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t her turn to speak in this situation, so she had to hold her tongue.
Mo Shiting’s thin lips formed a subtle curve upwards.
Old Master Mo found their greedy and selfish faces intolerable, he blasted, “This is absurd! Do you think the division and merger of a company is like child’s play? Merge when you want to, split when you feel like it? Not to mention Shiting, even I wouldn’t agree to this!”
“Uncle, you needn’t get agitated. We’re doing this for the sake of the Mo Family.”
Mo Jianyu hypocritically tried to calm him.
“Ha!”
Old Master Mo sneered, “For the benefit of the Mo Family? I should truly thank you on behalf of the Mo family. Just wondering, who was it that relentlessly pressured Shiting into stepping down and forfeiting his leadership rights? Fine, since Shiting didn’t care about those petty things, let’s just let you have them. But what? It hasn’t even been that long, and now that you failed to manage the company and it’s stumbling, you suddenly remembered you can’t do without him, right?”
These days, he had a clear understanding of the Mo family’s situation.
Without the financial backing of the Xinghe Group and the genius leadership of Mo Shiting, the entire Mo family was like a derelict ship teetering in the ocean, bound to sink sooner or later.
He had thought that these people could at least hold on for a while longer, but he never expected them to come to him this soon. Not only did they shamelessly request to be supplicated, but they even dared to fabricate such fancy reasons for it?
The Old Master, being the forthright and hot-tempered man that he is, strongly disliked this kind of deceitfulness and hypocrisy, and today he was tremendously relieved after scolding them.
Each word from the Old Master struck them like a bullet, leaving the two brothers, Mo Jianming and Mo Jianyu, speechless and their faces flushed with embarrassment.
The other elders exchanged glances, wanting to say something, but they realized that they were indeed at fault and could not muster a single word in their defense.
Had it been anyone else, they would have probably retreated with their tail between their legs after being berated thoroughly by the Old Master.
But the brothers, Mo Jianming and Jianyu, were not just anybody. They stubbornly insisted on their point of view, demanding that Mo Shiting return to the Mo family and assume the presidency, while merging the Mo and Xinghe Groups.
“Shiting, no matter what, we are all part of the Mo family, worshipping the same ancestors. You must give it careful thought, the rise and fall, glory and shame of the family is no small matter.”
Hearing Mo Jianming’s “well-intentioned” advice, Mo Shiting raised his eyebrows, and asked calmly, “And if I disagree?”
“He he he…”
Mo Jianyu laughed out loud, adjusted the glasses on his nose, said, “Shiting, it’s entirely beneficial to you to merge and become the person in power again. How can you joke about it?”
“I am not joking!”
