Chapter 595: Give you a week’s time
In the president’s office at the top floor,
Mo Zixuan angrily swept everything off the desk. Flying papers, shattered cups, scattered folders… everything became the victims of his rage.
A few steps away, Cheng Jia watched everything in shock.
She inwardly thanked her swift reaction to dodge in time, or else she would have certainly been hit by flying objects.
“Mr. President, please calm down.”
Cheng Jia timidly spoke, sneering inside her heart. She knew Mo Zixuan wasn’t cut out for the job. His position as President was illicitly gained. How could he possibly keep MS Group going?
Mo Zixuan glared at Cheng Jia with a dark expression. He scoffed, “Calm down, you say? That damn ‘Hao Chen’, they just keep pushing! Last time, I swallowed my anger. Now, they’re stepping on my head. What’s next, them replacing MS Group entirely? An outside company is so audacious.”
The ‘Hao Chen’ he bemoaned was the very company that had undermined him last time. Today, they’d stolen a big client from him, seemingly having put a target on MS Group’s back.
What did Hao Chen even account for, compared to the massive MS Group? Yet, they had lost.
What was even worse was that since Luo Haofeng and Qin Mu left the company, several high-ranking executives also resigned, not just taking their leave but taking their department’s core talent and elites with them.
But the most hateful part was… all these people joined ‘Hao Chen’.
“Do you have any news of Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran?”
Grinding his teeth in hatred, Mo Zixuan glared at Cheng Jia. The more he thought about it, the more wrong it felt. He instinctively felt that Hao Chen might be connected to Mo Xiuchen. As soon as he left the company, they swooped in on MS Group like hungry wolves.
Frozen by his chilling gaze, Cheng Jia subconsciously shook her head, “Mr. President, I don’t know the whereabouts of Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran.”
Everyone just knew that Mo Xiuchen had gone abroad with Wen Ran, but where exactly they were or what they were doing was a mystery.
There was no help for it. After all, they weren’t friends with Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran. They were people Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran despised, so nobody in Mo Xiuchen’s circle would tell them anything.
Mo Zixuan was slightly more informed, knowing they had gone to D Country, but he had no idea about their current circumstances, nor when they would be coming back.
He gave Cheng Jia a cold look, giving a chilly command, “I’ll give you a week to find out the specifics of Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran in D Country. They went for Wen Ran’s medical treatment. You wouldn’t want Wen Ran to return healthy, would you?”
His words were laced with heavy mockery by the end, causing Cheng Jia’s face to pale. Her hands at her sides clenched unnoticed into fists. Of course, she didn’t want Wen Ran to return healthy; she’d rather Wen Ran die in D Country.
“Mr. President, I’m afraid a week might not be enough.”
Cheng Jia was slightly irritated inside. He himself had no way to find out about Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran, yet he ordered her to investigate. Does he think she is some kind of Immortal?
“If you can’t find anything, you might as well leave the company.”
Coldly, Mo Zixuan dropped this sentence and swooped his gaze over the mess of items on the floor, picked up his car keys, exited the office, and left another order, “Clean this up”, before exiting with a slam of the door.
Cheng Jia gave a cold humph at the closed door, “The MS Group belongs to Mo General. You’ll be handing it back to him sooner or later.”
In her opinion, Mo Zixuan didn’t deserve to be the president. Only Mo Xiuchen was the real leader, the one who could lead all the employees of MS Group…
So, she couldn’t leave the company. She wanted to wait here for Mo General’s return. She looked at the files and papers scattered on the floor, took out her phone, and dialed a number, asking someone to come and clean up.

At an elegant and warm western restaurant in the city center,
Jiang Liu smilingly pushed a plate of his own cut steak in front of Shen Yuting, cheerfully saying, “Yuting, you can eat now!”
Shen Yuting giggled a ‘thank you’ and picked up a small piece. She put it in her mouth elegantly and gracefully. Watching her, Jiang Liu couldn’t help but be mesmerized.
Seeing his gentle gaze on her, Shen Yuting swallowed the food in her mouth and made a playful comment, “Are you not eating? Will just watching me fill you up?”
Jiang Liu gave a slight smile without confirming or denying.
Shen Yuting rolled her eyes at him, about to say something when the sound of Jiang Liu’s phone interrupted her.
He took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID, his expression changing ever so slightly. Even though it was fleeting, Shen Yuting still caught it. Her eyes flashed, and seemingly casually, she asked,
“Who’s calling you at this hour? Can’t they let us enjoy our meal in peace?”
Jiang Liu merely smiled, pressed the end call button, and was about to put his phone back in his pocket when he paused, switched off his phone, and then put it away.
“Now there will be no disturbances.”
“You’re not going to answer the call?”
Shen Yuting’s face showed a look of surprise, she stared at Jiang Liu with determination.
Ever since he lied to her last time, she had a slight shadow in her heart. Although Jiang Liu explained that it was for fear of her worrying, these past few days, she kept wondering about the relationship between him and Cheng Jia.
Before, had they also been in a similar relationship and were they still intertwined today?
Jiang Liu shrugged lightly, “Not answering.”
After his words, he lowered his head, took a bite of his steak, and flashed a gentle smile at Shen Yuting.
As they left the restaurant, Shen Yuting noticed that Jiang Liu had no intention of turning his phone back on yet. She casually said, “You can go back to work now, I can return to the hospital myself.”
His company was in the vicinity, and their dining here was mainly for his convenience.
Shen Yuting drove herself, so the distance from here to the hospital was a bit far. Hearing her words, Jiang Liu frowned momentarily, then gently said as they reached the parking lot, “Yuting, be careful on the road. Call me when you reach the hospital.”
The corners of Shen Yuting’s eyes twinkled, she laughed, “You haven’t turned on your cell phone. How will you receive my call?”
Jiang Liu was startled, then laughed and took out his cell phone, turning it on in front of her, “Now I can receive your call. Be careful on the road.”
As soon as he finished, there were two soft beeps from the phone indicating incoming messages. He swept his eyes over the screen, put away his cell phone, and opened the car door for Shen Yuting. He watched as she got in the car, then bent down and left a kiss on her face before shutting the car door for her.
Shen Yuting started the car, and before long, it disappeared from his sight. Jiang Liu then took out his cell phone again to check the messages.
“Jiang Liu, do you think this picture is nice?”
One sentence, accompanied by a picture, instantly turned Jiang Liu’s handsome face. His eyes stared icily at the picture, not missing the date displayed in the lower right corner, which was a few days ago when he was discharged from the hospital.
