Chapter 1533: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (6)
All these years, although he had acted in many films, he had not been very well-paid because he had mostly played supporting roles, and also because he preferred keeping a low-profile.
In addition, Yao Lili was a big spender and he had bought only two villas. In all, there was no more than a million in his own bank account.
In fact, he was indeed as poor as a church mouse.
Hence even if he was willing to use his own money for this, he didn’t have enough.
Frowning, he swung his armchair around. He stared at the wall with his back to his desk, suddenly feeling sad and dreary.
What had he done to himself for all those years to be living like this now?
After suppressing his potential for so long, this was how things turned out for him.
He hung his head. Then he looked at the time on his cell phone. It was 9 p.m.
He called the reception and asked, “Is Mo Zhi here yet?”
“Not yet, CEO Mo.”
“Ok.”
He shut his eyes, willing himself to calm down and continue waiting.
9:30 a.m. He made another call.
The receptionist informed, “CEO Mo Zhi is not here yet, CEO Mo.”
Mo Xicheng decided to call Mo Zhi’s personal assistant instead. “Is Mo Zhi coming to the office today?”
“CEO Mo has nothing scheduled for today, so he will go to the office.”
Mo Xicheng had already hung up.
10 a.m.
He cast his gaze down. He couldn’t help feeling the irony of the situation when he recalled how Mo Zhi had berated him on his first day of work.
So it turned out that Mo Zhi had only been putting up an act of coming to work on time in the last couple days.
He laughed icily and continued waiting.
11 a.m. The receptionist finally called to say, “CEO Mo, I just saw Senior CEO Mo coming into the office.”
She spoke nearly whispering and sounded cautious. Mo Xicheng realized that the receptionist was probably informing him secretly.
He said to her, “Thank you.”
Immediately, the receptionist felt important and replied, “It’s ok, this is my duty. I shall not hold you up then, CEO Mo.”
Mo Xicheng grunted an acknowledgement and hung up.
He contemplated the situation for a moment. Then without making a call, he got up and walked out of the office.
Now that he had moved upstairs, he was working on the same floor as Mo Zhi. Hence he stood there staring at the elevator in anticipation. The lift arrived and stopped on their floor. Immediately, he saw Mo Zhi walk out of the elevator.
He was dressed in a black suit and yawning as he entered. Obviously, the man had just gotten out of bed.
Mo Xicheng narrowed his eyes at once.
At the same time, Mo Zhi spotted him as well.
He halted and stared at Mo Xicheng.
They exchanged a look in silence.
After a while, Mo Zhi took two steps forward and threw Mo Xicheng a look of disgust. Smoothing his hair, he said, “What’s up, coming here to look for me so early in the morning?”
Mo Xicheng cast his gaze down and inquired, “Let me ask you. We signed the agreement yesterday, we have to transfer the funds. Why hasn’t the filming crew received the money?”
Mo Zhi spoke, “This is a question you should be asking the finance department! What has it got to do with me?”
On this note, he tried to walk around Mo Xicheng to get into his office.
Mo Xicheng placed a hand on the other man’s shoulder to stop him. “Mo Zhi, this is a big project for the company. Don’t be obstinate. I’m telling you, the consequences of this aren’t something you can bear!”
