Chapter 64

A week later, Lao K negotiated with all parties and the matter finally made new progress.

It was Monday's regular meeting, and all departments gathered in the conference room.

"Huan Shang conducted an internal self-examination, and Mr. Xu was fired for accepting bribes privately." Old K tapped the pen in his hand with a calm expression, and then smiled the next second, "But the supplementary agreement was signed yesterday, and all the funds will be in place next month!"

There was a sudden cheer in the conference room.

Especially the people in the technical department, they almost jumped up with excitement.

"Boss." Someone asked Chen Mo, who was leaning on a stool with a faint smile, "Did you know about this a long time ago? You actually kept it from us."

Chen Mo put one hand on the conference table: "I'll tell you this morning. What other surprises are there?"

"I should have been happy if I had known this earlier." Someone who knew the inside story of this incident said in confusion, "But didn't Mr. Xu say that he had a strong backing in Huanshang? How could he fall so easily?"

"It wasn't him who fell, it was his wife, Rue." Old K told everyone, "We were lucky. As soon as Mr. Zhu was transferred back to the headquarters, Huanshang unexpectedly received overseas investment. We just took advantage of the giant ship and were lucky enough not to be overturned."

Many people were surprised, “Who is so generous?”

Lao K: "CM Group."

When these words were spoken, everyone in the conference room was either surprised or gasped.

"The CM who won the famous overseas investment case two years ago and defeated UA Group to the top?"

"There have always been rumors that CM is backed by the famous old-line wealthy Xi family in China, right? I heard that their boss is very young, and when he just came of age, he was famous on Wall Street for his accurate investment vision. He later founded CM and almost swallowed up all similar companies in just five years. His ambition and strength should not be underestimated."

“This is the difference between people.”

"Central Meridian, the Central Meridian has not been deformed, and it remains true to its original intention. Is this the reason why CM is expanding its territory back to China?"

"Who knows, the old family is more concerned about where the roots are. The Xi family has been so low-key in recent years, probably in preparation for this."

"I think there's nothing wrong with that. The more capable you are, the less noticeable you tend to be."

People around you either provide popular science or give comments.

No one noticed that their new core technology leader seemed slightly absent-minded.

When Chen Mo found out that CM invested in Huanshang, he knew it was Xi Siyan's doing. It was about three years later that he heard about him abroad in his previous life.

Completely different from his state of mind at that time, Chen Mo now always knew about Xi Siyan's movements abroad. He would occasionally pay attention to the other party's news, just as he always knew that Mr. Zhu was introduced by the other party.

In recent years, Chen Mo often thinks of his high school days.

He also knew that if it wasn't for Xi Siyan, Chen Mo wouldn't be what he is today. He had to admit that when he habitually took care of the team members as a leader and faced everyone and everything with a more peaceful and calm state of mind, there was a shadow of Xi Siyan in it.

It’s just that no matter whether it was the figure who caused screams and cheers on the court, or the representative in a white shirt speaking under the national flag, or the squad leader Xi who was sitting next to his seat and giving a lecture sideways.

In this atmosphere, Chen Mo felt that so much time had passed.

So long that they have all grown up.

Even when that memory suddenly hits my mind, I can remain calm on the surface.

"Let's arrange the team building tonight!" someone suggested.

Everyone agreed readily.

Chen Mo naturally would not spoil the fun at this time, so he smiled and agreed with the crowd.

New talents never engage in formalism.

The place we booked for dinner in the evening was a famous buffet restaurant where you had to make reservations in advance.

Two long tables that could accommodate more than a dozen people were arranged in the hall.

The people in the technical department have always had a good relationship.

Basically crowded together.

A newcomer who just graduated from college this year, a boy named Yuan Hao, stood up and said, "I am very honored to join Xinrui and become a member of the technical department. You may not know that Xinrui is now the first target of job seekers from all colleges and universities. I don't know how many people envy me."

At this point, he was interrupted by others from the technical department.

"Yuan Hao! Although you are usually very long-winded, I admit that you have something."

The others laughed along, "Exactly, why are you being so modest? That's not like you."

"I'm not being modest." Yuan Hao said immediately, "I'm just very grateful that I can meet a team like this after graduation. Everyone takes good care of me on a daily basis. I want to thank my master even more." The boy stared at the man sitting diagonally opposite him with his chin propped up, and said sincerely, "Brother Mo, thank you for hiring me during the recruitment, for giving me a chance, and for guiding me along the way to help me grow. I have learned a lot. I'd like to toast everyone with this glass of wine. Please help yourself."

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.

There was booing all around.

"Master, Xiao Haohao, you really only follow your master's lead."

"Boss, you are too partial. You can't take care of him just because he graduated. Look, he is starting to show off because of all the care you give him."

"That's right, Brother Mo, why didn't you admit to taking me with you when I first joined the company?"

"It's not fair! Don't you think so?"

Seeing Chen Mo being besieged.

Yuan Hao became anxious.

The boy's face still has the immaturity of just graduating from school.

She has short black hair and a slightly round face. When she is anxious and her face turns red and she purses her lips, you can see a small dimple on her face.

He said, "Don't make trouble, I'm serious."

"Haohao, you really can't help being teased. Unlike us, we are all old-timers with thick skins like city walls."

Chen Mo, who had not changed his posture from beginning to end, saw that they had finished laughing and said with a smile: "Don't listen to their nonsense. I am willing to take you with me not because you are young, but because I am still young myself."

This self-mockery was met with another round of cheers and laughter.

Yuan Hao was very serious, "Why is that?"

"Did you forget the day of the interview?" Chen Mo said, "I asked you why you came to Xinrui, and you said you were sure you could bring Xinrui into a brand new intelligent field."

When talking about his bold and arrogant words, the boy blushed so much that he wanted to crawl under the table.

"Master, please stop talking." Yuan Hao said.

Chen Mo signaled him not to panic. "That's right. I love to listen to some hot-blooded remarks. You are proving your words with practice. You are really capable. R2D encountered a bottleneck in the second experimental stage. If you hadn't worked hard for a week to find the problem, the loss we faced would be incalculable. You are doing well. This is a fact."

Ignore all the sounds around you.

Yuan Hao stared at him blankly. His heart started beating faster at the man who was no older than himself but whom he could only look up to in terms of both ability and character. Then he lowered his head to drink a large glass of water to cover up his mistake.

Chen Mo did not notice the other party's reaction, and in fact he did not really consider the other party as his apprentice.

Just because he was capable and outgoing, he gave him some guidance. It was just that the other party called him that, so he didn't force him to change.

This dinner lasted a full two hours.

After we finished eating, a large group of people still stayed together, planning to find a casino to continue the party.

A group of people stood on the roadside discussing something.

The wind on an October night is a little cold.

Chen Mo casually gave the coat in his hand to a female colleague in the company who was pregnant. The only shirt he was wearing was a little wrinkled, so he rolled up his sleeves to reveal his arms with distinct wrist bones.

Yuan Hao came over at some point, carrying a long black coat, and said, "Master, it's a bit cold, put it on."

"You don't need it yourself?" Chen Mo looked at the short-sleeved shirt on him and refused: "Wear it yourself. I won't approve your leave if you catch a cold."

The boy was embarrassed, and his face, which was already slightly red from drinking, became even redder.

He kept his hands raised and said, "I'm young and not afraid of the cold." He felt even more embarrassed after saying that, and immediately made up for it, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was..."

Yuan Hao didn't finish his words.

Because at this time several shiny high-end cars drove up to the roadside, attracting the attention of many people around.

The place where they ate was in a busy area in the city center.

There is a famous private club next door.

Chen Mo was thinking about these pillars of the upper class, and the entertainment programs they provided were actually cliché and unoriginal.

Soon, a group of people got off the car.

Chen Mo recognized at a glance that the person leading the group was the boss of Huan Shang.

The man, who was less than 40 years old, had a deep face. Chen Mo had dealt with him once or twice and did not think he was an easy person to get along with.

Old K also came over at this time.

I whispered to him, "It's just a coincidence. Would you like to come with me to say hello?"

"Yeah." Chen Mo did not object to basic social courtesy.

As a result, before he and Lao K got there, they found that the boss of Huanshang did not leave immediately after getting off the car, but stood there waiting for someone.

Sure enough, the rear door of the car behind was soon opened by the driver.

A pair of long legs wrapped in suit pants stepped down first. Chen Mo's heart skipped a beat for some reason. He inexplicably thought of the scene when he had just been reborn in this life and saw someone getting out of a car behind the alley of an Internet cafe.

The two overlapped, the shiny black pointed leather shoes stepped on the ground, the person bent down to get off the car, his black hair was neatly groomed, and his formal suit was fitted meticulously. The side face that was revealed a little bit was cast in shadow by the city light, showing a straight nose, a familiar look with equal proportions of maturity and enlargement.

It's just more serious, and at first glance, his aura is deep and solemn.

Old K whispered in his ear: "Who is that? Such a powerful official."

Compared to Old K, the other voices sound more like gossip.

"What a handsome guy."

"I'm starting to visualize domineering president literature."

"The boss of Huanshang must have a strong background. The people he hangs out with are not something that mortals like me can know."

Everyone was discussing enthusiastically.

Then I noticed that the gossiper I was talking about suddenly looked up at me.

As if surprised, he frowned, and then suddenly raised his foot and walked towards this side.

Many people were stunned.

Until they saw the man stop in front of Chen Mo, the head of their technical department.

Old K, who was standing next to Chen Mo, wisely said nothing at this moment.

Only Yuan Hao, who was about to hand Chen Mo a coat from the beginning, was so focused on his own thoughts that he ignored the person who came and continued to remind him, "Master, put it on. It's windy."

After saying that, I felt someone looking towards me.

It was very light, enough to send a chill down one's spine. The boy looked over blankly and realized that the other party didn't pay much attention to him at all. He just frowned and said to his master, "Why are you standing on the side of the road?"

"The dinner is over, let's get on with the next one." The master also looked normal.

As a result, everyone watched helplessly as the man waved to a man who looked like an assistant, took another suit jacket from the other person, and without asking Chen Mo's opinion, raised his hand and put it on his shoulders.

She naturally gathered them together for him: "I have something to do tonight and can't leave. When you have time, you can return it to me next time."

Chen Mo did not object, he grabbed the edge himself and nodded: "Okay, thanks."

Others: “…”

Dare not say.

I didn't dare say a word.
