Chapter 87
Old K's question never got an answer, because Xi Siyan was right behind Chen Mo in the ward, with his chin on his shoulder, asking, "What did you say?"
Chen Mo covered it subconsciously.
Then a light sneer came from my ear.
Xi Siyan's action of hugging Chen Mo tightly was like a large beast grabbing the back of its prey's neck. His voice was still tired and hoarse, "I have seen it. You can reply to him confidently, yes. After all, I remember that last time, you were on top for the second half, right?"
Chen Mo's toughness, honed from two lifetimes in the workplace, couldn't suppress the sudden heat.
Mobile phones have become a hot potato.
The people behind him, including Old K's question, suddenly seemed particularly glaring.
Chen Mo was discharged from the hospital early the next morning.
Chen Mo sent the results of his grandfather's physical diagnosis and his final decision to Yang Zhi's email and asked him to inform everyone in the Yang family.
Yang Zhi replied to him a few hours later, saying that his grandfather's children from several families all expressed their inability to accept it and their reactions were quite strong, so he should be mentally prepared.
When Chen Mo received Yang Zhi's reply, he was standing in front of a two-story villa.
This is the famous luxury villa area in Genting Bay, less than one kilometer away from Chen Mo’s previous community in Rhine Ark. Chen Mo actually considered this place when buying a house, but for him at the time, the price-performance ratio was not the most cost-effective.
Xiao Lin handed over the key and said, "Mr. Chen, President Xi has an emergency meeting this morning and can't come back for the time being. Here are the keys to the house. It has been renovated for a year and is ready for occupancy. The cleaning lady and the cooking lady haven't come yet. If you need anything, just tell me and I'll go get it."
"One year?" Chen Mo realized that this was about the same time as he bought the house, and Xi Siyan had not returned to China at that time.
Chen Mo took the key and looked at the house in front of him. He remembered that Xi Siyan once went to his house and called him. When Chen Mo asked him about it, he said that he was dealing with the problem of house decoration.
Apparently, that is not true.
Chen Mo asked, "Did Xi Siyan live here since he first returned to China?"
Xiao Lin waved his hand and said, "No, no, Mr. Xi had a fixed suite in the hotel before, and this one has been vacant. It was also because you were sick and hospitalized this time, Mr. Chen, that Mr. Xi asked me to buy some necessities."
"Okay, got it." Chen Mo said, "You go and get busy first."
Xiao Lin did not leave immediately.
He hesitated for a while before saying, "Mr. Chen."
Chen Mo turned around.
Xiao Lin scratched his head awkwardly and said, "I know there are some things I shouldn't say, but you know Uncle Lin, the driver who used to drive for President Xi was my uncle. He said that you and President Xi had a very good relationship when you were in high school, and he is very happy to know that you are together again. Uncle Lin means that you and President Xi have had a hard time in the past few years, and the relationship between President Xi and the Xi family has become estranged. I hope you can put aside the past and live a good life with President Xi."
Chen Mo paused for two seconds, "Isn't that what Uncle Lin meant?"
Someone who has been in the Xi family for decades would not be so out of touch with reality.
As expected, Xiao Lin was immediately surprised and asked, "You can guess this?" He quickly comforted himself, "Yes, you and President Xi are so smart. Actually... it was Old Master Xi's idea. He was very sad when he learned that your grandfather had been ill for a long time. And the main reason why President Xi distanced himself from our family was because of you. Uncle Lin said that he didn't want any reason of the Xi family to interfere with your relationship, but the old master is old, and this is not a situation he is willing to promote. He was also afraid that you would mind what happened before, so he asked me to say this."
Chen Mo didn't say anything for a while.
Apart from Xi Jianxing, Chen Mo had little contact with the Xi family.
The fact that Old Master Xi compromised so easily had a lot to do with Xi Siyan's attitude in recent years. Chen Mo just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
I am still in the process of separation from my relatives.
Chen Mo hopes that Xi Siyan will never experience that kind of personal feeling and regret.
Chen Mo said, "Then please tell the old man that the Xi family has never been the main reason for our separation. It was before, and it will be in the future. Although no one can guarantee that we will be together for a lifetime, I will try my best."
"Okay." Xiao Lin stared at him absentmindedly, "Okay." Although Xiao Lin was just a driver, he drove for Xi Siyan all day long, and he knew a lot of things that others didn't know. For example, he knew that Mr. Chen was said to have had a low-grade fever for some time, and Mr. Xi had tried every possible way. For example, in his eyes, Chen Mo still had a trace of paleness from a serious illness, but there was no trace of the panic that he had just experienced in life and death.
Even in unfamiliar places.
His calmness at all times and in all places is no less than that of President Xi. I tried my best to say it casually, but it always gave people the feeling that the promise was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Chen Mo walked up the stone steps of the villa and opened the door.
Completely different from the spacious and gorgeous decoration he had expected, the overall design of the interior is close to the light luxury style of original wood, while retaining the low-key warmth of the original wood. After adding elements such as glass and stone, the low-key luxury is more layered.
It was obvious that the villa had been cleaned, it was clean and bright.
Chen Mo sent a message to Lao Gou telling him not to worry about the house.
Lao Gou called and followed him.
"No need?" Lao Gou said, "I was right. You're living with the squad leader now?" Chen Mo nodded. "The location of the house is suitable. It's not far from where I used to live. I can go over and take care of the decoration when I'm free."
"The monitor is quite efficient." Lao Gou said, "Do you still remember the house you rented when we were in high school? It was also his. Now that I think about it, I really hate myself for being so blind that I didn't see that there was something wrong between you two for such a long time."
Chen Mo scoffed: "And then let you go to the forum and spread gossip everywhere?"
"Don't make up rumors. I have my bottom line, okay?" Lao Gou changed the subject. "But if it were you, you should just sell your house after you finish renovating it. If I were the squad leader, I would be a fool to let you live there alone. Just thinking about what happened that day, I'm scared to death."
Chen Mo put the supplies he brought from the hospital in the bathroom on the second floor. He placed his phone on the sink. Looking at his face in the mirror, which was different from the face he had when he was seventeen, he replied to Lao Gou calmly, "If something bad really happens to a person, there's no way to avoid it."
"Puh, puh, puh!" Lao Gou cursed: "You are sick, say this in front of your boyfriend and see if he will scold you." Chen Mo raised his eyebrows: "He doesn't seem to scold people now."
"You're not going to scold me anymore?" Lao Gou hesitated. "That's right. After all, our status is different. It's not like when we were in school."
Chen Mo glanced at the incoming call notification on his phone.
Tell Lao Gou: "Wait a minute, I'll take a call."
"Hello."
"Mr. Chen." The person on the other side immediately said, "You have to save us."
Although it was a request for help, it left no room for maneuver.
With such a compelling meaning.
An hour later, in the secretary's office on the top floor of CM's office.
The chief secretary looked at the people who came out of the president's office one after another with sad faces, and felt that the curve of his mouth began to stiffen.
"What's going on?" The second secretary was trembling with fear: "Mr. Xi seems to be in a particularly bad mood today."
The chief secretary was in his thirties, and he remained calm. He tilted his head and whispered, "Tell everyone to be careful today. The public utility company Huiyuan's project is expected to fail, and many dealers are coming to us for help. This project is one of the key projects that our president Xi has been in charge of since he returned to China. How can he not be in a bad mood?"
The second secretary was surprised: "That's not right, isn't this project progressing normally?"
"It seems to be related to Chuanxing Technology." The general secretary said calmly, "According to the grapevine, Mr. Ren from Chuanxing offended our Mr. Xi and got into a corner. He seems to have a connection with Huiyuan and teamed up with someone to maliciously leak the bid. I guess he is deliberately trying to disgust us."
Just then, the front desk rang.
The managers of several partners that I had contacted before all came to me.
The chief secretary said in a businesslike manner: "They said Mr. Xi is not here." The receptionist looked at the young man in front of her and said to the secretary in embarrassment: "Sister, this is really not okay. The other party is a newcomer. They control almost all the sales channels of smart products in the city. Are you really not here?"
Ten minutes later, Chen Mo and the five managers behind him were respectfully invited to the reception room.
Chen Mo looked around.
I didn't expect that the scene would be like this when I first came to CM's office building.
One of the people who came with Chen Mo, called Lao Huang, said, "We knew that Mr. Chen was recovering from an illness and we shouldn't have disturbed him. But we relied on Mr. Chen to contact Xinrui from the beginning, and he is also an old acquaintance. This matter concerns the interests of many parties, so we have no choice but to contact you."
Chen Mo smiled indifferently, "Mr. Huang, you are too polite. Mr. Su has already explained the specific situation to me, and I have a general understanding of the situation. Regardless of whether the project between CM and Huiyuan can be successful this time, I understand very well that you all want to be CM's first batch of domestic distribution customers. However, I still have to say something in advance. If the investment plans of Xinrui and Huanshang can go smoothly, CM can be regarded as Xinrui's new employer. I have to rely on them for a living when I do research projects. Whether things can be successful depends mainly on CM's attitude."
"I understand."
"We all know Mr. Chen's dilemma."
The receptionist was very polite and kept refilling cups of the best tea, but no one showed up.
The expressions on Mr. Huang's and his people's faces changed from urgent and anxious at the beginning to gradually impatience.
Asked the little girl who served tea over and over again.
"Did President Xi say when he would be available?"
"Is President Xi still busy?"
"It's been so long. When can we see President Xi?"
The uniform response was: "Sorry, Mr. Xi is still in a meeting."
Chen Mo sat with him throughout the whole process.
Su Qianran sent him a message to inquire about the situation, "How is it going?"
Chen Mo looked at the people sighing in the reception room and replied calmly, "Of course there is no hope."
"Just pretend." Su Qianran said, "I don't know where these people got the news that you and Xi Siyan were high school classmates, and they took advantage of the cooperation contract they had with us for several months to use this as a condition. I guess they are regretting their wrong decision now, and think that your relationship is nothing more than this."
Chen Mo smiled and said, "It's really not that good. It's been hanging here for almost three hours." Su Qianran said, "Tsk, the Xi guy is really cruel."
In the end, I definitely didn't see the person.
Chen Mo's trip was a successful retirement for Xinrui. The other people were so embarrassed that they couldn't hold back their smiles, but Chen Mo just pretended not to notice. He sent them to the car on the side of the road.
Chen Mo also planned to go back.
Before I could hail a taxi, my cell phone rang.
Xi Siyan: "Come up."
Chen Mo looked back at the skyscraper whose top he couldn't see, raised his eyebrows, and walked back.
The girl at the front desk didn't know what order she had received. She quickly ran over, swiped the VIP elevator card for him, and said respectfully, "Mr. Chen, 56th floor, please."
Unknown to Chen Mo, the internal affairs of CM had been in turmoil since the moment he entered the company.
"Those managers have been here many times, why are they being put up this time?" "Don't you know the leader? The up-and-coming Mr. Chen."
"The one who showed up at Yang's before? He seems to have a good relationship with our President Xi." "The latest news is that President Xi hasn't even shown up." "So what is their relationship like?"
"But I noticed that the tea served by the administrative girl was all Tieguanyin, with only one cup being barley tea."
"Let's go, it's downstairs."
"I'm on the phone. Um... I'm back."
"Fuck, go straight to the 56th floor."
The atmosphere on the 56th floor was actually not very good at this time.
As soon as Chen Mo stepped in, he could still see a few secretaries who were silent as hell, and heard faint sounds coming from the office.
Previously, Chen Mo said that Xi Siyan doesn't curse people nowadays. In fact, he said: "I'm talking to you about market benefits and you're talking to me about worldviews? I think you have all the necessary features, but you're just not smart enough. This afternoon, you..."
Two minutes later, Chen Mo saw a man with a purple face coming out with his head lowered.
Han Gan followed behind. Han Gan handed over a document, patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "Think about it carefully when you go back. Don't blame him for scolding you. I really want to scold you, but he is indeed in a bad mood today." Then he turned around and saw Chen Mo.
"Assistant Han." Chen Mo nodded.
Han Gan's teeth ached, and his expression was indescribable. "Boss Chen, you are the same. You are still adding fuel to the fire at this time. You really don't take our lives seriously."
Chen Mo smiled: "Everyone has their own duties, there is nothing we can do about it."
At this moment, a voice came from the office, "Come in."
Under the guidance of his secretary, Chen Mo pushed open the metal door.
Xi Siyan sat behind the desk near the window.
Looking up at this moment.
Chen Mo leaned against the door and didn't rush to go up. He looked at him for a while: "How long will it take before get off work ends? Would you like to treat Mr. Xi to a meal?"
"Are you really eating or just pretending to eat?" Xi Siyan stood up, walked around the table towards him, and approached him, "Have you seen the house?"
Chen Mo hummed and nodded: "I've seen it, it's very good, the layout is exactly the same as the one I saw before."
"You're beating around the bush and saying I'm spying on you?" Xi Siyan leaned his hands on the door and looked at him, "But I wish I could watch you 24 hours a day."
Chen Mo sighed, flipped his tie with his hand, and looked up: "You are in such a bad mood, just because of Huiyuan's matter?"
"Hui Yuan is second, the main reason is that I suddenly realized that I was not cautious enough." Xi Siyan traced Chen Mo's face, "This time, I am more inclined to think that he wanted to tell me that even without Lunal, he is not completely powerless."
This was the real reason why Xi Siyan was in such a bad mood. He was able to sneak into the Rhine Ark once, and next time he might appear in the Xinrui parking lot, Chen Mo's laboratory, or on his way home one day.
Xi Siyan squeezed his hand and said, "I didn't ask you to stay home and not go out."
"It's true that I just got out of the hospital, but will I never go to work again?" The two of them were very close. Chen Mo raised his hands and raised his eyebrows and said in a low voice: "Unless you lock me up."
Xi Siyan leaned over and pressed his lips against hers: "I do want to."
It's a pity that I can't bear to do so.
As dazzling as he is, he must have traveled so many miles to get to this point. How could he bear to give up?
Xi Siyan intensified the kiss.
The crush was so deep that when Chen Mo tilted his head back and was forced to move his Adam's apple continuously, Xi Siyan suddenly exerted force to pick him up.
He carried her to the desk, kissed her and swept away all the documents on the desk, put her on the desk and sat her down, never letting her go from beginning to end.
Chen Mo endured it leisurely, from supporting himself with his hands behind his back to having to find a way to hang on Xi Siyan's neck.
He gasped and reminded, "Don't go overboard, this is an office."
Xi Siyan held the edge of the table with one hand and pinched Chen Mo's waist with the other hand, "I know my limits."
People outside are still talking about how decent and elegant this new CEO Chen is.
Little did he know that in the office, someone who was speaking with propriety carried Mr. Chen from his desk to the black leather sofa. Chen Mo's hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his face. His face, which was slightly pale due to illness, was now facing inwards, stained with an ambiguous red.
