Chapter 1571: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (44)
She opened her mouth but before she could get a word in, the door was thrown open.
In an instant, a flood of reporters streamed into the room, creating a din.
Amidst the chaos, Mo Hai put his arm around Li Shu and put her behind himself protectively.
Meanwhile, the reporters’ cameras flashed as they asked the attendees:
“May we know if you are all holding a board meeting?”
“Is the matter concerning Mo Xicheng over?”
“Have you reached a conclusion?”
“Can you tell us if Mo Xicheng has been removed from his position?”
“In the Mo family, can an illegitimate son be heir to the family estate?!”
“If illegitimate children of wealthy families can inherit the family estate, are we then encouraging our younger generation’s men to have more children? Or encouraging the women out there to be mistresses of men from these wealthy families?! Because their children can benefit from inheriting the family’s fortune, even if they themselves weren’t married.”
“That’s right, we want to stand against such situations!”
“…”
The reporters fired their questions one by one, creating confusion.
Mo Zhi narrowed his eyes.
He was the one who had quietly allowed these reporters to go in when he had realized that there was a possibility that Mo Xicheng’s votes could surpass his.
He wanted to show that bunch of stubborn old men that if Mo Xicheng became the CEO, they would be facing the great pressure of public opinion.
Even if Mo Xicheng’s votes did outnumber his, he wanted to ensure the office would be so swamped by these reporters that there would be no way for him to carry out his duties properly.
Mo Zhi narrowed his eyes as he watched the situation unfold.
Gao Feng and Mo Hai were already on their feet to manage the situation. “We are in the middle of a board meeting, we would like to ask the outsiders to leave the room. Our friends from the press, please leave now on your own. We don’t want to have to call security.”
But even with this warning, the reporters were like a bunch of wild dogs that had spotted a piece of meat, they would not leave.
After all, it wasn’t easy to get a scoop like that. Who was going to give it up?!
Hence, upon hearing those words, the reporters started to corner them with questions,
“Mr. Mo, we’d like to know what the company’s decision is? An illegitimate son can become the CEO and oust the rightful heir? Is that what you’re telling us?”
Someone saw the voting results written on the board and was surprised at once. He asked, “An illegitimate son can draw the same number of votes as the rightful heir! Is this fair?”
“Mr. Mo, do you want to pass the family fortune to Mo Xicheng?”
“Mr. Mo Xicheng, are you really here to compete for the family estate? If not, then why are you involved in the family business? If yes, do you think it was right of your mother to have broken up someone else’s family?”
“…”
As they fired off a barrage of questions, Mo Xicheng was forced into an embarrassing position.
He looked at the group of reporters speechlessly.
They had no idea what had been happening, and they had no idea how Mo Zhi had cornered him to the point that he could only retaliate to protect himself.
But all these things, how was he going to tell them?
He narrowed his eyes. Then suddenly, he heard Li Shu’s angry shout, “Since our reporter friends are here, I have something to announce.”
