Sweet Chief Secretary

The private room was pushed open from the outside and the three people who were chatting leisurely turned to look at the door, only to see Shen Mo entered with a gloomy face. The temperature of the room dropped several degrees, too.

“Cousin Shen, you come.” Ruyi Tower was Xia Mingde’s turf and as the owner, he was supposed to greet him. With a smile, Xia Mingde reached his hand to Shen Mo.

Shen Mo casually reached his hand with an indifferent attitude, “Hello, Uncle Xia. Hearing that Uncle Xia is in S city, I come to visit you in particular.”

Facing Xia Mingde, Shen Mo didn’t feel guilty. No matter how others suspected him, he felt he was innocent and fearless because he didn’t do it indeed.

“I’ve just arrived. Take a seat.” Xia Mingde smiled a bit and invited Shen Mo with a gesture.

As regards this First Young Master of Shen Family, he was not his acquaintance but he heard much news about him including praise and criticism. No matter people liked or disliked him, they all admired his capability.

Xia Mingde attached importance to such a young man.

“Thank you, Uncle Xia.” After Shen Mo greeted Yang Weiye and President Ning, he sat down aside at his ease.

Second Brother hurried up to serve them with tea. Shen Mo said thank you, took a sip and said, “First-class green tea. Good tea!”

“I didn’t expect Cousin Shen is a tea person. I thought only people of our age like tea.” Xia Mingde added aside with a smile.

“Tea culture is an important part of Zhonghua culture. As a Hua Xia person, if I don’t understand tea, can I be counted as a Hua Xia person?” Shen Mo said with a smile.

Xia Mingde nodded to show his consent, “Uncle Shen is right.”

After the two people talked about tea for a while, Shen Mo shifted the topic to Xia Yu’s matter a few days ago. Xia Mingde came here for it, too. Shen Mo was supposed to give an explanation, “Uncle Xia, our businessmen worship ‘peace makes fortune’. But sometimes we provoke people. This time I don’t know who framed me. Uncle Xia, please rest assured. I’ll find the culprit and give Uncle Xia and Xia Yu an explanation.”

Shen Mo’s voice sounded indisputable and firm. Although Shen Mo thought himself innocent, all current evidence they had pointed to him.

Now he was a suspect. No matter how moody he was, he had to explain.

Xia Mingde nodded and said, “After I came here, I learned the basic situation. That matter does have quite a few doubts. So I came here to investigate it.”

Xia Mingde didn’t conceal his purpose of coming over and he exchanged opinions with Shen Mo on that matter. Of course, he now was not sure Shen Mo did it. He didn’t believe Shen Mo was innocent, either.

As regards Xia Mingde’s attitude, Shen Mo was very satisfied. It was assuring that Xia Mingde didn’t blame it on him like others.

Now Shen Mo hadn’t gotten any news yet but he believed that in S city he could find anyone and it was only a matter of time.

After talking with Xia Mingde, Shen Mo shifted his eyes to Yang Weiye, “President Yang, I come here this time to visit Uncle Xia and to exchange my opinions with you on some business.”

“Good. Lao Xia, would you get another private room for us. I want to talk with Shen Mo.” Yang Weiye stood up after saying so. He had no reason to turn down a subordinate who wanted to talk business with his boss.

“Lao’er, arrange another private room for President Yang and Cousin Shen.” Xia Mingde said to Second Brother.

“Yes, master,” Second Brother then turned to look at Yang Weiye and Shen Mo, “President Yang, Young Master Mo, come with me.”

President Ning frowned aside. What did this child want to do? How should he chase Yang Weiye here? President Ning earlier heard much about Shen Mo’s rumors, which he didn’t want to believe. Now he could see with his own eyes so he decided to re-understand this child.

Selfish and only interest-oriented without minding the occasion and courtesy. This impression was what Shen Mo gave to President Ning. President Ning sighed sentimentally that time did change a person.

Although only a few years passed, Young Masters of Shen Family all changed. Shen Yan was no longer a playboy who frolicked all day and flirted with girls.

Shen Qiang changed, too. He grew not only taller but also maturer. He was also more stubborn and became a headache.

“Lao Ning, drink tea.” Xia Mingde, of course, was aware of Shen Family’s affairs. However, he, as their relative-to-be, couldn’t interrupt. Shen Family’s affairs should be left to Shen Family only.

“Drink tea!” President Ning recognized he was absent-minded just now. He smiled and raised his cup to invite Xia Mingde.

At this moment, Second Brother led Shen Mo and Yang Weiye to a nice private room and served them tea before he left. Only Yang Weiye and Shen Mo remained in the private room.

“Why do you come to me?” Yang Weiye raised his teacup and asked Shen Mo while staring at him.

“I heard that you’re going to sign an agreement with Xia Family in the afternoon. Is this true?” Shen Mo didn’t waste time. He asked Yang Weiye directly.

That was exactly what he expected in his heart. Yang Weiye nodded calmly and said, “That business has been discussed earlier, which you knew already. Now it is high time because President Xia came to S city. I think it’s an opportunity so I want to talk with him in the afternoon and even hammer it out.”

Yang Weiye didn’t want to conceal so he expressed his idea directly.

“President Yang, it’s true that the business has been under consultations long ago, but it is delayed till now for many people object it. I think the cooperation with Xia Family needs further discussion and shouldn’t be hammered out today.” Shen Mo put forward his objection directly.

“I’ve studied that program. I think there’s no problem at all.” Shen Mo was straightforward. So was Yang Weiye, “That program is decided by me. If any problem, I account for my conduct.”

He used one sentence to settle the debate and prevent Shen Mo from talking about it again.

“President Yang, I want you to give a second thought.” Shen Mo stood up with excitement and stared at Yang Weiye with astonishment.

How could he not get excited? He knew well what sort of person Yang Weiye was. He was a famous shrewd person who reserved cards always and talked ambiguously.

But today he unexpectedly gave a clear message for Shen Yan.

He accounted for his conduct, which meant he was ready to take any risk. Meanwhile, it meant Yang Weiye gave a clear message that he chose to stand on Shen Yan’s side.

“It’s unnecessary. I’ve made up my mind.” Although Yang Weiye’s voice was not aloud, it was very firm.

It indicated that he wanted to tell Shen Mo that he didn’t intend to talk about the problem with him anymore.

Yang Weiye, as President, had the right to decide. Shen Mo knew that if he continued to talk about this matter, he would only get angrier himself. So he drew his chair away and walked to the door.

When his hand took the doorknob, Shen Mo looked back with discontent, “President Yang, you’ll regret what you’ve done today.”

Yang Weiye looked at him calmly and said, “I don’t know whether or not I’ll regret in the future but I’m sure I don’t regret today.”

Very good. Shen Mo nearly gnashed his teeth to subdue his impulse to come to jerk Yang Weiye. He pulled the door open suddenly, walked out and shut the door with a bang.

The strength was so strong that even the teacups on the table in the room jumped a bit.

It looked like that this child got angry indeed. It was said that when Young Master Mo got angry, a storm came along. Was that true? Yang Weiye didn’t weather it in person so would he experience it this time?

Standing up calmly, Yang Weiye smoothed his clothes and walked out, too.

After Shen Mo came out, he happened to see Shen Yan and Xia Yu strolling in Ruyi Tower, hand in hand. Seeing him, Shen Yan ignored directly because he was still angry and didn’t want to talk to Shen Mo.

But Shen Mo wanted to have a word with Shen Yan. He strode with long legs and appeared in front of Shen Yan soon, “How carefree! Well, right, you’ve got a big program. If I were you, I would act like you. However, Shen Yan, even though you win this time, so what? Don’t you feel disgusted by betraying your girlfriend?”

What a good scheme! Getting some people to kidnap Xia Yu and making a fuss in front of Old Madame to win the position of President.

It was true that a person would be a winner if he didn’t care about respectability.

“Shen Mo, do you know what you’re talking about?” When Shen Yan saw Shen Mo, he felt like punching him. But for he cared about the presence of the seniors, he would have punched him already. How should he take the initiative to provoke him?

If so, don’t blame him for showing any mercy. He released Xia Yu’s hand, stepped forward and seized Shen Mo’s collar, “Do you dare to say that again?”

“Even though you covered my mouth, will that change the facts?” Shen Mo pushed Shen Yan’s hand and smoothed his clothes, “Shen Yan, the heaven is watching you when you are doing a crime. You’ll have it coming to you. And don’t think you can win when you coaxed the old dog Yang Weiye. Never!”

“Shen Mo, don’t try to mislead. I tell you, you can never make it.” Shen Yan didn’t know that Yang Weiye was going to sign the contract with Xia Mingde in the afternoon. He had thought that Old Madame, due to great pressure, finally decided to give the position of President to him so Shen Mo came to make a fuss out of discontent.

“I know you’re good at rhetoric. But Shen Yan, even though you talk eloquently this time, I will tear apart your mask. Just wait and see.” After all, there were other guests in Ruyi Tower so it was improper for them to have a quarrel here.

Glaring at Shen Yan for a second, Shen Mo dashed outside angrily.

“Don’t leave. Let’s make it clear.” Tearing apart my mask? What nonsense! Did he mean that I asked those people to do so because I wanted to become President?

Was he out of his mind? How could he come up with such a whim? Shen Yan was in a great rage. Seeing Shen Mo was leaving, he ran over to stop him.

“Shen Yan, what are you doing?” Xia Yu held Shen Yan’s arm tightly and stopped him from chasing him. Did he want to become the headline by starting a fight at Ruyi Tower?

“Xiao Yu, don’t stop him. Let them fight.” Old Madame and her set was strolling at the backyard of Ruyi Tower and were about to go back when the time was not early now. When seeing this scene, she began shivering with anger.
