You Are My Unforgettable Love

Chapter 1562: Mo Xicheng Reinstated (35)

After he said those words, the person speaking up for him laughed and continued, “Indeed, that’s clear. There have been too many investment projects recently, we lack some circulating capital. And that was the only reason why CEO Mo allocated a portion of the circulating capital to invest in stocks and shares, so that he could resolve the issue. Of course, this is a little risky, but he has good intentions. Let’s not attack him, since either way, the money will be back at the end of the month. Our company is not a holding company, it’s a family business and the shares are held by the Mo family. In other words, this company belongs to the Mo family. Every senior manager knows this very well.”

“Anyway, the matter of CEO Mo transferring funds can end here. For the sake of the business’ reputation, we can keep it a secret and outsiders will never know. By the end of the month, we’ll close the gaps in the accounts and the company will be back on track. But the problem with Junior CEO Mo, on the other hand, is already news. Hence if the company is not able to give the media a proper explanation, things could escalate and hinder our business.”

This logical argument once again turned the spearhead against Mo Xicheng.

The man kept silent and did not speak.

Mo Zhi sprang to his feet and said, “That’s right, senior gentlemen, you watched me grow up and you know that I’m not a bad person. I really did this for the company and we will not lose money on these shares for sure. So don’t worry, I will be able to return the money by the end of the month!”

After saying this, he turned to his men and gave them a look.

“That’s right, CEO Mo did this for the company. Although it probably isn’t the best way to do it, we shouldn’t be turning against him for this.”

“After all, CEO Mo is still young!”

“I mean, who doesn’t make mistakes in his youth? Old Gao, that thing you said about going to jail, it’s probably a comment too heavy. Things are not that serious.”

“...”

Everyone took turns commenting and they started to defend Mo Zhi.

Gao Feng frowned and gave an icy laugh. He said, “I believe everyone here can assess for themselves whether this is serious or not. I only wish to say that CEO Mo Zhi went overboard. In the past, we chose to tolerate it when he messed up a project. But this time he stole the company’s circulating capital. When payday comes around on the 25th of the month and we have no money, how are we going to pay the salaries of our people?”

Mo Zhi twitched his mouth and said, “We can tell everyone that salaries will be delayed for a few days. It’s not like we’re using the money to save lives. What’s the hurry?”

Gao Feng was speechless when he heard Mo Zhi say this. “We have a few thousand workers and you think we can delay salaries so casually?! Do you have any idea how many people have to pay their home loans and car loans on the same day they receive their salary? What will they do?!”

“Uncle Gao, it’s just a delay of a day or two. You’re making too big a deal out of this.” Mo Zhi spoke as though this was a matter not worthy of his attention.

However, the attendees did not like his comment and their expressions changed.

There was much to be said of Mo Zhi’s attitude when he thought that a company’s system could be changed whenever he fancied.

Feeling the change of mood, Mo Zhi finally realized he had said something terribly wrong.
