"Chairman, something happened."
Early in the morning, the assistant came running to report, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
"What's the matter? Why are you so flustered?"
When Mo Xiangqian saw the person coming, he sat down on the sofa calmly and asked casually. After all, he had lived for half his life and had seen a lot of storms.
"All the projects that were previously agreed upon were suddenly terminated," the assistant explained.
He got up early this morning and received a call informing him that the project he had previously agreed to sign was going to be terminated today. Upon hearing this, he rushed to the villa to report.
"Terminated?" Mo Xiangqian frowned, confused as to how the contract could be terminated overnight. This was a huge problem for them. After all, this project was crucial to his company's future development. If the collaboration couldn't go smoothly, it would undoubtedly impact their company. They had already invested a lot of money upfront. To terminate the contract so easily would be like playing a trick on him. How could that be justified?
"Yes, this is too sudden." The assistant standing beside him replied.
"What's the reason?" Mo Xiangqian asked. He couldn't believe that the contract could be terminated so easily. Something must have gone wrong. He had to figure out the relationship, otherwise it would be difficult to solve.
"I'm not sure. I called, but they didn't say anything." After the assistant learned the news, he immediately contacted many parties, but they didn't reveal a word at all. This made them very confused and they didn't know who was secretly messing with them.
"Give me my phone." Mo Xiangqian suddenly said, and the assistant immediately handed him his phone.
After Mo Xiangqian picked up the phone, he immediately clicked on one of the numbers and called.
"Hey, Mr. Xu, have you had breakfast?"
"Mr. Mo, why are you calling me so early in the morning?"
"Mr. Xu, you're joking. Can't you just give me a call?"
"Hahaha, Mr. Mo is joking."
The two chatted for a long time before Mo Xiangqian changed the subject: "Brother, I'm a little confused. Why did our project stop so suddenly? Is it because you haven't been doing well lately?"
The other party was embarrassed for a moment, then sighed, "Brother, we are not trying to make things difficult for you, but someone doesn't allow us to do this."
Mo Xiangqian was a little surprised when he heard this. Had he offended someone recently? Or even an important person? How come he didn't know?
"Brother, can you help me? Who did I offend? Why don't I know anything about it?"
"You know, given our relationship, I will definitely not ignore it, but you also know that I can't do anything about it. Think about it carefully, have you offended the Lu family?" Mr. Xu said tactfully.
"Lu family? Are you talking about the famous Lu family?" Mo Xiangqian asked. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember when he had offended his beloved.
"Do you think there is any other Lu family that is so generous?"
"Okay, okay, I got it. Thank you. I'll treat you to a meal someday when I'm free."
"Sure, sure."
After the two hung up the phone, Mo Xiangqian frowned while holding the phone.
"Go check right away and see when I offended Lu Shiyan."
After hearing this, the assistant immediately asked someone to investigate. After checking from multiple sources, they finally got some inside information.
The assistant felt a little awkward standing in front of the chairman. He had never expected that it was because of Mr. Mo that Lu Shiyan was provoked. What was worse was that the Li family and the Wen family were now jointly putting pressure on their Mo family's business.
"You bastard, go and wake up the young master." Mo Xiangqian said angrily to the butler beside him, asking him to go forward and wake him up.
He never imagined that a good engagement would turn out like this, with such a huge impact. If it wasn't handled properly, the Mo family would be in big trouble.
This was a difficult situation, as someone called at this moment. Mo Xiangqian looked at the number and picked up the phone with a headache.
"What's going on? What trouble have you gotten yourself into? Why are the Mo family's stock market fluctuations so big?" It was the old and frail voice of Grandpa Mo on the other end of the phone. After he learned the news, he immediately went to his son to question him.
"Dad, something went wrong. How do we solve it?" Mo Xiangqian took a deep breath and soothed him.
"You call this a small matter? Then what do you call a big matter? Is the Mo family's bankruptcy a big deal?"
"Dad, that's not what I meant."
"What do you mean by 'I don't care'? Just fix it right now? Otherwise, you'll be forced to resign and let your brother take over."
The old man hung up the phone without waiting for his reply.
Mo Xiangqian smashed his phone in anger.
When Mo Xiangnan came down from upstairs, he saw his father's furious look. He couldn't help but wonder, what happened? Why was his father so angry?
He wisely restrained his lazy appearance and quickly walked up to his father, "Dad, what happened?"
"You still have the nerve to ask me what happened? You should ask yourself what you did?"
Mo Xiangnan frowned. He didn't understand how he had angered his father. Wasn't everything fine yesterday? But hadn't they already reached a consensus? Could something have happened overnight?
He looked at the secretary as if to get some answers, and the secretary quickly explained everything to him again.
"Did I offend Lu Shiyan?" Mo Xiangnan frowned.
He had offended someone, how could he not know? He hadn't even seen him yesterday? That was impossible, right?
"Don't you know that you have offended people? Why didn't you tell me when you came back yesterday? You even offended the Lu family and the Wen family?" Father Mo was furious.
"How should I know? I just had a conflict with that damn girl from the Wen family yesterday."
"Just a conflict? If there is a conflict, will the Wen family bother with you?" Mo's father raised his voice. He originally thought that it was just a small quarrel, but in the end, so many families were involved. If it was not handled properly this time, their Mo family would probably be seriously damaged.
The Wen and Li families weren't a big deal; they didn't cooperate much, and their actions were just to annoy him. The main concern was the Lu family. Who wouldn't want to curry favor with him these days? With just one word from him, everyone friendly with the Mo family, who were all shrewd, would immediately change the tide.
But why did Lu Shiyan get involved for no reason? It doesn't make sense.
"You'd better pray that the Lu family is just doing a little bit of harm. If they really make it a point, you'll just be kicked out." Father Mo said in a bad tone.
"Dad, the most urgent thing is to deal with the problem first."
"Do you need me to tell you? You can come with me to the Li family first and talk things out. Mr. Lu is still making an appointment." Father Mo also knew that this matter was most likely a failure, but they had to see how to minimize the damage.
"Oh, I see."
