Chapter 183: Chapter 183 Not Friend Arc- We Are Friends
Translator: Doggotranslation
Lose job? I was dazed for a second, but then asked calmly, “Is the company going to lay off employees?” Perhaps it was because I had filled in the survey sent by Mo Fei, I was a little surprised by my own calmness.
“No. . .” Mo Fei shook her and said hesitantly, “Maybe. . . because of me. . .”
“Because of you? Maybe?” I couldn’t help but chuckle, “Fei Fei, what exactly do you want to say?”
Mo Fei seemed to be still sorting out her thoughts. When she was about to explain in detail, the phone on the desk rang. Only until I pursed my lips to signal Mo Fei to answer the phone, did Mo Fei, who was frowning, answered reluctantly.
Then Song Jia’s surprised voice appeared on the phone, “Ms., Ms. Mo, secretary Long wants to see you. . .”
“I don’t want to see her! Tell her that I don’t want to see anyone today!” Before Song Jia could finish her words, Mo Fei lost her composure and rejected the meeting request immediately. Her shocked expression like a hell messenger was currently standing outside her office.
I couldn’t help but be dazed, Secretary Long? In the headquarters building of Fengchang Corporate Group, the only person surnamed Long I know was the secretary of the Chairman of Fengchang, Mo Yizhi!
“But Ms. Mo, Secretary Long said, she didn’t come to you, but. . .” Song Jia paused, seemingly to swallow nervously, and then continued tremblingly: “She wants to see. . . Chu Nan.”
See me? I couldn’t help but “tremble”, why did the chairman’s secretary want to see me? How did she know that I was in Mo Fei’s office?
However, Mo Fei was not surprised. Yes, she was not surprised, but shouted hysterically: “He is not in here! Tell her that Chu Nan is not here there. . .”
“Is it?” Before Mo Fei had finished speaking, the office door was already pushed open. A plump middle-aged beauty smiled and walked in with a calm and casual attitude, as if this office was like her own bedroom.
Behind her was Song Jia, who tried to stop her anxiously but failed miserably.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Mo. it’s Secretary Long herself. . .” Song Jia almost wanted to cry. Both of them were the people who she could not afford to offend. It made me feel sorry for her.
This beautiful woman was dressed in a plain professional suit and had a pair of small gold-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose. Although traces of age could be seen on her face, she still had a great look. It was not an alluring type, but belonged to the gentle and graceful kind of beauty. She had a temperament of an elegant woman from a rich and wealthy family. In addition, she also gave off a kind yet steady feeling. However, the occasional flash of a sharp gleam from the corner of her eye could remind people of her reserved shrewdness.
She was the secretary to the chairman of Fengchang Group, Long Shan!
This woman seemed to be born with an aura that would make people feel inferior in front of her. Her eyes were filled with a friendly smile, but I could clearly feel the sharp gleams behind the smile, as if she wanted to see through me at a glance. Then I heard her chuckle and say, “Little Fei’er actually learned to lie, hehe, isn’t this kid, the Chu Nan I’m looking for?”
From the word “little Fei’er”, I could tell the relationship between her and Mo Fei was very close. It was actually quite understandable. Although Long Shan was only Mo Yizhi’s secretary. She has been working as his secretary for twenty years. It was self-evident that her relationship with the Mo family wasn’t that simple.
Although I was called ‘kid’ by her, her tone did not make people feel that she was looking down on me. On the contrary, there was a kind of inexplicable amiable feeling. Being able to make people like her so easily, I didn’t know if this was her personality charm, or this was just her way of doing things.
As expected, those who could be in a high position were not ordinary people. I faintly sensed a dangerous smell.
Mo Fei’s lie was exposed in front of her, but she was not embarrassed at all. Putting down the phone, she took a few steps forward and put her arms around Long Shan, and said like a coquettish little girl: “Auntie Shan, even you also don’t want to help me?”
Dissatisfied, Long Shan lightly scratched Mo Fei’s pretty nose with her index finger, and deliberately made an angry expression, “You little bratty girl. You even dared to slip away on my watch. Didn’t your uncle say that you are not allowed to come to the company today?”
“How can I not come?” Mo Fei said and gave me a strange look, “Auntie Shan. . .”
“I’ll talk about it later, Auntie is here for a serious business,” Long Shan raised her hand to interrupt Mo Fei’s words, and then asked me with a smile: “You are Chu Nan, right? Hehe, hello, I am Chairman Mo’s secretary, Long Shan.”
I reached out my hand to shake with Long Shan lightly. I was shocked, trying to figure out why she was looking for me, but I didn’t reveal my thoughts on my face and said in a tone that was neither obsequious nor supercilious, “hello, secretary Long.”
I didn’t like the look of appreciation that flashed in Long Shan’s eyes. In my opinion, it was just the look that the people who had been accustomed to being in high positions would give. As my old man often said, the status of people was different from each other, but people’s souls were equal. Feeling flattered or panicked was not the right reaction, so I didn’t need to be ‘appreciated’.
However, what Long Shan said next was so direct that my brain wasn’t able to digest it quickly. Not just me, even Song Jia also gave her up knees when she heard it, “Charman wants to see you, so he asked me to invite you to his office.”
Chairman? Wanted to see me? And he even asked his secretary to come and invite me in person? Probably even the department managers have never enjoyed this kind of treatment.
You must know that Mo Yizhi had an intention to train Mo Fei to be the next chairman, and he had already shown a sign that he wanted to retire. Unless it was necessary, he rarely even came to the company. The general work matters were usually handled by Long Shan. So it could be said that Long Shan was the spokesperson or even a substitute for the chairman.
But why did the chairman want to meet a little staff member in person? Even if I was not a very smart man, I could also guess why at this moment. It was Mo Fei.
Mo Fei stood in front of me and said anxiously to Long Shan: “No! Auntie Shan, I will explain it to uncle. I will go to see him with you. It has nothing to do with Chu Nan. He is innocent. Uncle is just being unreasonable!”
“He is indeed innocent. . .” Mo Fei’s expression eased slightly, and then Long Shan’s eyes suddenly sharpened, and she said solemnly: “But, Fei’er, who is the one that is being unreasonable here?”
Mo Fei was immediately stunned. Although I still didn’t know what happened, I had already guessed some clues faintly. When I was about to speak, I heard Long Shan sigh and say with emotion: “Fei’er, you should learn to grow up a little bit more. You still don’t understand your uncle’s efforts at all. He is doing it for your own good.”
“If he is really thinking about me, then he should leave it alone!”
“You. . .” Seeing that Mo Fei replied hysterically, Long Shan shook her head helplessly, “Sigh. . .”
I bypassed Mo Fei and smiled: “Fei. . . Ms. Mo, don’t make it difficult for Secretary Long. Since the chairman wants to see me, I will go to see him.”
Because of me, Mo Fei and Mo Yizhi had a dispute. Hiding on the side watching Mo Fei argue for me would only make me look like a kept man. This was also something that I didn’t want.
Combined with what Mo Fei had just said, I could already predict the worst result. Probably, I was about to lose my job.
But it was okay, it was not a big deal to lose this job. I was still young and there were many opportunities. Changing a job was not necessarily a bad thing. Life with different work experience was a fulfilling life – I comforted myself this way. .
Mo Fei said anxiously: “Chu Nan!”
“It’s okay,” I chuckled, “I thought of this result a long time ago. It’s fine. Hehe, we are friends, after all.”
To be honest, I never thought it would evolve into this. Although the investment of more than 40 million yuan was certainly impossible to hide from Mo Yizhi’s eyes, I still thought that it did not violate the company’s regulations in terms of procedures. However, this kind of behaviour was certainly not something that an upright man would do; so it was reasonable that Mo Yizhi would dislike me. If I needed to blame one person, I would only blame myself for using such a trick.
Even heroes have a weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. Although I was not a hero, I still had weakness for the charms of a beautiful woman. At the end of the day, it was my own decision. Back then, all I thought was trying to please Mo Fei. . .
Now I could calmly face my past feelings for Mo Fei. No matter how good the excuse was, it was still just an excuse. Losing this job was a punishment for my self-deception, so I could accept it calmly. Because I had already harvested everything I needed. And that thing was Liusu.
