Chapter 114: Isn’t It So?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Cheng Lang asked, “Are you in a bad mood?”

Xing Shu felt a trace of gloominess and did not know if she should praise Cheng Lang. He actually noticed that she—his mistress—was in a bad mood. However, what right did she have to be in a bad mood?

Cheng Lang got up. When he passed by Xing Shu, he gently pulled her into his arms. “Let’s go to my office.” It was a very brief hug, but it had a huge impact on Xing Shu. She stood rooted to the ground. It was only when the conference room door opened and closed before she slowly recovered from her reverie. She asked herself if she liked Cheng Lang? She did not know. Perhaps it was not just men who were possessive of the woman they screwed; but women were also possessive of the man they slept with. However, she could not have such thoughts. She reminded herself to stay clear-headed at all times and not hanker after things that did not belong to her.

When she entered Cheng Lang’s office, Xing Shu smelled the fragrance of coffee. Cheng Lang was a very finicky eater with extremely exacting tastes and habits. The coffee he drank was freshly ground. He was sitting in his chair with his hand—the one wearing the Buddhist bracelet—on the black table.

“President Cheng.” Xing Shu composed herself and called out.

Cheng Lang pushed the document on the table over—crossed his arms—and said in a businesslike manner, “You didn’t tell the truth in the conference room just now.”

Xing Shu felt an inexplicable weight in her heart. She could not help but retort,

“How do you know that I’m not telling the truth? Everyone agrees to invest in

MOOL. Moreover, Miss Jin Yue is a shareholder of MOOL.”

Cheng Lang asked, “You think my investment in MOOL has got something to do with Jin Yue?”

Xing Shu countered, “Isn’t it so?”

Xing Shu instantly regretted saying it. She felt that she had been too impulsive. Just as she was about to say something to salvage the situation, the door of the office opened and Jian Yaochuan walked in with two senior management personnel. It seemed like they were going to have a meeting. After the two senior management personnel came in, they tactfully sat down on the couch and waited for Cheng Lang.

Cheng Lang did not look at them. Instead, he stared at Xing Shu. “Why do you think so?”

Xing Shu sensed the gazes of the two senior management personnel, but there was no surprise in their eyes. They probably thought that she was discussing work matters with Cheng Lang and did not suspect her relationship with Cheng Lang. Thinking of this, Xing Shu suddenly felt that she was being ridiculous. She said, “If you’re not doing this for Miss Jin Yue, then the MOOL project will have to be reevaluated. If you are asking for my opinion, I would suggest not to invest.” Her words were very straightforward. The two senior management personnel on the couch thought Xing Shu had lost her mind. They regretted coming in at this time, afraid that they would be implicated by Xing Shu’s words.

Cheng Lang’s expression did not change as he continued to ask, “Reason?”

Since she had already said it, Xing Shu no longer held back. “The reason is the clause where the founder has given up control. Isn’t that enough? If the founder doesn’t control the company, who will be in charge of the company’s future development? Cheng Corporation Group? Wouldn’t that mean that the company spent a large sum of money to buy a business and not invest? The founder gave up his project so easily and valued only short-term profits. Even if Cheng Corporation Group invests a billion or two now and becomes the largest shareholder, what about the other investors? With the mentality of

MOOL’s founder, he will allow anyone to invest as long as they have the funds. There are barely any shareholder restrictions. When Cheng Corporation Group takes over, doesn’t that mean that we have to face the risk of the company’s shares being sold at will? In this way, can the company still develop?”

Xing Shu’s words coincided with Cheng Lang’s concerns. When he saw that the founder was willing to give up control, Cheng Lang held back on investing in it. That was why he said what he said to Jin Yue. He had suggested investing in MOOL during the meeting to see if the founder would take the initiative to contact him. If the founder did not give up control of the company, he would not have to worry about MOOL’s future development. After all, no one knew its future direction better than the founder. However, it was obvious that the founder did not realize this problem. Jin Yue’s reply was that the founder was contacting several other venture capital firms.

The office was very quiet and everyone barely dared to breathe. Cheng Lang only spoke after a long time. He said to Xing Shu, “Come overseas with me at the beginning of next month.” This was the second time he wanted to bring Xing Shu on a business trip.

Xing Shu was dumbfounded. Everyone in the company knew about her participation in the auction last time. Many people were guessing what Cheng Lang thought of her. Now that Cheng Lang was going to take her on a business trip again, it seemed like he was really not worried about causing a scandal between the two of them..
