Since Murong Lian has woken up, Mo Ming felt it was inappropriate to stay in the hospital room and returned to Murong Wei's Hillside Mansion. However, Murong Wei was not in Nanhua City; she had gone abroad for business.
Aunt Xiang was delighted to see Mo Ming back and immediately prepared several of her signature dishes.
Mo Ming felt Aunt Xiang's care, which was like that of a mother, making him feel at home. Enjoying the delicious meals, he felt quite warm inside and remembered how long it had been since he had tasted his mother's cooking, which made him miss her a bit.
During dinner, Aunt Xiang kept asking where Murong Lian had gone.
Murong Wei had not informed Aunt Xiang about Murong Lian's hospitalization. Knowing Aunt Xiang's feelings for Murong Lian, she would undoubtedly be very worried. To avoid causing her concern, Murong Wei only mentioned that Murong Lian had gone on a trip.
Although Murong Lian had already woken up, Mo Ming still did not want Aunt Xiang to worry. He followed Murong Wei's words and said that Murong Lian was traveling and would take some time to return.
Aunt Xiang did not suspect anything, which relieved Mo Ming. After finishing his meal, he went upstairs to his room. The long-absent room showed no signs of dust, probably because Aunt Xiang was diligent and cleaned it every day.
After taking a shower, Mo Ming felt exhausted from the past few days and immediately collapsed onto the bed to rest.
A night passed without incident...
When it was time to go to work, Mo Ming woke up without any alarm. Since childhood, he had always woken up around the time he intended without needing an alarm clock.
After freshening up, Mo Ming left.
He drove to the parking lot beneath Starry Melody Company and happened to see Lin Yuan'er just parking her car. After she parked, Mo Ming got out and walked over.
"Yuan'er, I thought I was early. I didn't expect you to be ahead of me."
"I just wanted to see how Brother Mo looks as a leader. Last night I tossed and turned, wondering what it would be like. Who knew Brother Mo is still the same? You never dress formally," Lin Yuan'er said as she linked her arm with Mo Ming's. "But Yuan'er likes Brother Mo this way; being too serious isn't good."
"I really can't do anything with you. When we get to the company later, don't keep calling me Brother Mo; it's not appropriate since we're at work. Understand, Director Lin?" Mo Ming said with a wry smile as he playfully flicked Lin Yuan'er's nose.
Lin Yuan'er wrinkled her nose and replied seriously, "Got it, Mr. Mo." After saying that, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Girl, what are you laughing at? Don't I want Mr. Mo?"
At first, when Lin Yuan'er called Mr. Mo, it felt pretty good to Mo Ming. But when he saw her smile, he immediately felt speechless. Was it really that bad? Did he really lack the demeanor of a leader?
"It's nothing, I'm just not used to being called that suddenly, hehe..." Lin Yuan'er suppressed her laughter and emphasized, "Don't mind it; you'll get used to it, and then it'll be fine, right, Mr. Mo?"
As Lin Yuan'er spoke with a half-smiling expression, Mo Ming felt a mix of amusement and frustration. He didn't want to waste any more time with her like this, so he stepped out of the parking lot. Lin Yuan'er didn't hold onto Mo Ming's arm; she simply swayed her waist like a little water snake and followed him.
This scene gave off a vibe reminiscent of a wealthy young master accompanied by a beautiful and charming secretary.
When they reached the company's entrance, Mo Ming didn't rush to push the door open. Instead, he adjusted his emotions before finally entering. If anyone had noticed, in that brief moment of pushing the door open, Mo Ming seemed like a different person. His gaze became sharp, and his demeanor changed significantly, shedding his previous spoiled image for one that resembled the most powerful dictator of the Seven Branches.
As Mo Ming walked in, all the company employees looked up in unison. When they saw the long-missing Mo Ming, their hearts skipped a beat. The most shocked among them was Li Minghan, who looked as if he had seen a ghost.
Having offended Sito Hai, Li Minghan didn't think he would have any chance of survival. Yet here was Mo Ming standing right there—wasn't this like encountering a ghost in broad daylight?
If Li Minghan had known that Sito Hai was dead, he would have been even more shocked. With Sito Hai dead and Mo Ming standing there, it indicated that Mo Ming's background was not simple; even if he had offended Sito Hai, Yama wouldn't dare take him in.
Yesterday, Li Minghan heard about what happened with Mo Ming at the Studio but didn't quite believe it. Now that he saw it for himself, he had no choice but to accept it. His throat tightened as he wondered what Mo Ming was planning.
"Isn't that Mo Ming? I heard he made quite an impression at the Studio yesterday; apparently, he single-handedly took on over thirty thugs without breaking a sweat."
"Really? You must have heard that from Creative Department's Xiao Li. I heard about it too, but I don't believe it. Do you think this is a martial arts film? One against thirty? That's pure nonsense!"
"Not necessarily; maybe Mo Ming is actually the favored disciple of some hidden master..."
...
Qiu Lan had not seen Mo Ming for a long time, and she had been thinking about him day and night. Finally, he was back, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. However, seeing Lin Yuan'er standing next to Mo Ming and recalling their relationship made her feel a bit unhappy, causing her to pout.
As they reached the center of the room, Mo Ming clapped his hands, the sound echoing throughout the large space. Everyone clearly heard it and stopped what they were doing, turning their attention to Mo Ming.
"Sorry to interrupt your work. Please give me a moment; I have something to announce," Mo Ming said with a serious expression, scanning the room coldly. "From today until President Mu returns from her trip, I will be handling all company matters as the acting president. I hope we can work together harmoniously. That’s all I have to say. If there are no questions, you may continue your work."
"Wait, I didn't quite understand what you just said," Li Minghan immediately questioned, standing up from his chair and sizing up Mo Ming with a sneer. "We all know President Mu is traveling, so the company has been managed by Director Lin and Director Ren. Who do you think you are to give us orders as a mere personal assistant?"
"Li Minghan, you are being very rude..." Lin Yuan'er started to reprimand Li Minghan but was stopped by Mo Ming. Upon seeing Mo Ming's expression, Lin Yuan'er understood that he was about to assert his authority and immediately closed her mouth.
"Well, that’s a good question from this colleague. Why should I give you orders? It is indeed a tricky issue," Mo Ming smiled and said. "I believe this is what everyone is wondering. Very well, I can now clearly tell you that I am giving orders based on my position as acting president. If anyone is dissatisfied, feel free to seek employment elsewhere; there’s no need for you to stay. Do you all understand?"
"Hmph..." Li Minghan wanted to laugh but was silenced by Mo Ming's icy glare. The playful smirk on Mo Ming's lips made it clear: "Do not challenge my authority with your foolish bravado; that is the behavior of a fool. This is the first and last warning—if you're still unconvinced, get out immediately!"
Mo Ming's final words were almost a roar, causing Li Minghan to tremble in fear, unable to voice his anger. Undoubtedly, Mo Ming's authority had been established.
Throughout the process, Zhao the Eunuch remained an observer from afar. Despite his effeminate appearance, he quickly guessed what was happening when Mo Ming made his announcement and Lin Yuan'er stood silently beside him; therefore, he wisely kept his mouth shut.
Li Minghan's example had already proven that for some time moving forward, the company would be under Mo Ming's sole control. Anyone who dared to resist would be opposing Murong Lian; naturally, regardless of belief or disbelief, no one dared to offend him lightly.
No one else dared to speak out again. Even if Li Minghan still felt unconvinced or disbelieving in his heart, he did not dare to say anything further and could only sulkily return to his seat and pretend to be busy with his own tasks.
"I raised my voice just now; I apologize if I startled anyone," Mo Ming said as he regained his composure with a smile. "I hope everyone will work diligently; this week we will announce the layoff list. The company needs employees who can bring benefits rather than those who are just freeloaders."
As soon as Mo Ming finished speaking, everyone felt uneasy; no one wanted to be on that list. They immediately put in their utmost effort into their work—this was exactly the effect Mo Ming desired, and he felt somewhat satisfied.
Lin Yuan'er thought that Mo Ming looked incredibly cool just now; his leadership presence had skyrocketed as he reprimanded everyone into silence. Without saying much more, she glanced at Mo Ming and smiled as she said, "Mr. Mo, I'll get back to work now."
"Yes, go ahead and work hard," Mo Ming nodded and then moved towards Murong Lian's office while calling out, "Han Xue, please bring me the recent company expenditures."
"Alright, Mo... Director, please wait a moment while I organize this and bring it to you." Han Xue almost called out Mo Ming's name but suddenly remembered his current position and quickly changed her words, hurriedly sorting through the documents in her hands.
Once she had everything organized, Han Xue immediately took it in to Mo Ming.
"Hmph, that annoying Mo Ming, acting all high and mighty, not even looking at me. It's infuriating." Qiu Lan felt a bit angry and shot a fierce glance towards the Executive Office, snorting through her nose before starting her work.
"Mr. Mo, here are the company's recent expenditures for your review," Han Xue gently placed the documents on the side of the desk and asked, "Is there anything else you need, Mr. Mo? Would you like me to make you a cup of coffee?"
"Yes, thank you. Please get me a cup of coffee," Mo Ming replied with a smile and immediately began to focus on the documents.
Han Xue quickly went to prepare a cup of coffee for Mo Ming and then quietly stepped out.
For the entire morning, Mo Ming carefully reviewed the company's recent expenditures and found no issues. He set them aside, rubbed his tired eyes, and noticed Ren Long had arrived, chatting with Li Minghan while occasionally glancing in his direction.
Mo Ming promptly stood up and walked out.
"Hey, Director Ren, you busy person! I've been waiting for you like waiting for stars and moons; finally, you're here," Mo Ming said with a smile as he approached Ren Long. "No wonder they call you Ren Long; it's like seeing a dragon's head but not its tail. I apologize for not informing you earlier about my arrival as the new director. From today onward, you can take it easy; I'll handle the company's matters."
Upon hearing Mo Ming's words, Ren Long stood up straight with one hand in his pocket and smirked slightly. "Well, as they say, a new official takes office with three fires; it seems to be true. I just arrived at the company and already heard about Mr. Mo's impressive feats. Quite remarkable indeed. Relying on women to show off your power—nice going."
