While Mo Ming was playing games in his seat, the door to Murong Lian's office swung open, and Yang Yuan emerged with a dark expression on his face, muttering something that made him look this way.
When he came out, Yang Yuan said nothing and walked straight away.
Liu Hu knew that Yang Yuan was angry and didn't dare to ask too much, closely following him.
After leaving Starry Rhythm Advertising Company, Yang Yuan finally spoke: "Liu Hu, no matter what it takes, we need to get rid of Mo Ming. I just don't like him getting too close to Murong Lian. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Liu Hu frowned and replied, "Young Master, I understand your anger, but I don't know how we can eliminate Mo Ming. You see, even Sito Hai can get away with things. This isn't our territory; I don't know how we can deal with him."
"Ah, Liu Hu, after following me for so long, how come you haven't learned to be a bit smarter? No matter how strong a person is, they will always have weaknesses. As long as we focus on his weaknesses, he won't seem so terrifying," Yang Yuan said with a hint of a sinister smile.
Liu Hu still didn't understand and shook his head: "I know these principles; it's just that we don't know Mo Ming's weaknesses. How should we approach this?"
"Forget it; I'll just tell you directly. Talking to you like this feels exhausting," Yang Yuan said helplessly. "You can start with the people around him and look for allies—specifically Mo Ming's enemies. That way, you'll have more strength against him."
"Are you talking about Ren Long?" Liu Hu asked tentatively.
"You finally get it! Ren Long has hostility towards Mo Ming; he is our ally," Yang Yuan smiled. "Go find Ren Long later. If we can win him over and frame some things on Mo Ming, then Murong Lian will be disappointed in him."
"But we know Ren Long too well. How can we know what he's thinking? If he stands with Mo Ming, wouldn't that reveal our intentions to Mo Ming?"
Yang Yuan confidently replied, "That won't happen. Just go ahead and win him over."
In the afternoon, when Ren Long just stepped out, a Mercedes-Benz blocked his way. The back door opened, revealing Yang Yuan sitting inside. At that moment, Yang Yuan smiled and said, "Director Ren, do you have time to get in the car and chat?"
"Young Master Yang, what are you doing here?" Ren Long frowned but speculated about Yang Yuan's intentions. He replied, "The collaboration is already complete. Is there anything else we need to discuss?"
"Of course there is something to talk about; otherwise, I wouldn't disturb Director Ren," Yang Yuan said with a smile, knowing that Ren Long had some thoughts on his mind. "No need to guess; you'll find out once you're in the car. If it doesn't go well, you can leave anytime—there's no danger."
After hesitating for a moment, Ren Long got in and said, "Young Master Yang, if you have something to say, please get to the point. I have many things to attend to and not much free time."
"It won't take long," Yang Yuan said to Liu Hu, "Drive around casually."
"Understood."
The car slowly started moving.
"Young Master Yang, if you have something to say, now is the time," Ren Long said lightly.
"That Mo Ming suddenly popped up and became the vice president of the company. I think Director Ren has worked hard for Starry Melody Company for so many years, from the beginning until now; your contributions are significant," Yang Yuan remarked with a meaningful smile. "I imagine Director Ren must feel somewhat dissatisfied."
Just moments ago, Ren Long had thought about this. Yang Yuan's relationship with Mo Ming was indeed antagonistic; approaching him at this time was surely an attempt to sow discord between him and Mo Ming. This time he guessed correctly.
"What does it matter if I'm dissatisfied? President Mu personally appointed him; what can I say?" Ren Long replied with a bitter smile. "Moreover, Mo Ming does have some abilities; there's no issue with him being vice president. After all, those who are capable should take on roles."
He truly felt dissatisfied inside, but what could he do? Murong Lian had personally appointed him, and besides, he had leverage in Mo Ming's hands. If he dared to oppose him, it would lead to his own downfall.
"Director Ren, I am understood." Yang Yuan chuckled a few times and said, "You have leverage in Mo Ming's hands, so you dare not resist him. I understand this point. I also have leverage in his hands, but I am unwilling to be led by the nose. Are you willing?"
"I do not have any leverage in his hands; I don't know where you heard that rumor." Ren Long was momentarily taken aback, then pretended to be clueless and said, "I don't see how Young Master Yang's unwillingness to be led by the nose concerns me. I have no enmity with Mo Ming and do not need to take revenge on him."
The fact that Yang Yuan also had leverage in Mo Ming's hands surprised Ren Long. He did not expect that the son of the prestigious Ultimate Electronics Company would still fall into Mo Ming's grasp.
No wonder their cooperation could proceed so smoothly. He was somewhat curious about what kind of leverage Yang Yuan had given Mo Ming that allowed him to be led around. It was precisely because Yang Yuan also had leverage in Mo Ming's hands that Ren Long behaved this way.
This was related to the issue of choosing sides; one side was heaven, and the other was hell. If one chose incorrectly, there would be no turning back.
Ren Long did not have deep-seated hatred towards Mo Ming. Although Mo Ming had threatened and made things difficult for him, he had not forced him into detention. In another sense, Mo Ming was trying to guide him back onto the right path.
What made Ren Long hesitate the most was Mo Ming's inscrutable identity. On the surface, Mo Ming appeared to be Murong Lian's bodyguard but could drive expensive sports cars and did not bow and scrape before Murong Lian, indicating that there was more to Mo Ming than met the eye.
"Heh heh, Director Ren need not pretend to be foolish in front of me; those were words directly from Mo Ming himself, something about some unsavory photos or similar." Yang Yuan pointedly stated.
Yang Yuan's words hit the nail on the head; his leverage indeed consisted of unsavory photos. However, there was no way Mo Ming could have told Yang Yuan about this. So how did Yang Yuan find out?
This caused Ren Long's expression to darken as he speculated whether Yang Yuan also possessed his unsavory photos or had embezzled funds from Starry Melody Company.
"Young Master Yang, I do not know how you came by this information, but since you mentioned it, let us speak plainly." Ren Long said, "What do you want me to help you with?"
"Heh heh, Director Ren has indeed come around." A smug smile appeared on Yang Yuan's face as he said, "I do not want Mo Ming to get too close to Murong Lian, so I hope you can use some extraordinary means to make Murong Lian disappointed in Mo Ming. If this works out, I can give you one million dollars."
"A million dollars is indeed quite tempting. Can I go back and think it over?" Ren Long smiled and said, "After all, you know I have leverage in Mo Ming's hands, so I need to weigh the pros and cons. Once I've made up my mind, I'll contact Young Master Yang."
"That's fine. I can give you some time to consider, but I don't want to wait too long."
"Naturally, it won't take long—just two or three days will be enough," Ren Long replied. "Alright, Young Master Yang, our conversation ends here. Please pull over."
"Liu Hu, pull over so Director Ren can get out," Yang Yuan nodded.
After getting out of the car, Ren Long turned and walked away.
Liu Hu then started the car again and drove forward.
"Young Master Yang, do you really think this will convince Ren Long to ally with us?" Liu Hu asked with some doubt.
"When we were talking just now, I could sense Ren Long's dissatisfaction with Mo Ming," Yang Yuan smiled and said. "Ren Long's expression indicated that he is wavering; he just needs a little time to think it over."
After getting out of Yang Yuan's car and walking a short distance, Ren Long immediately took out his phone and dialed a number saved under Mr. Mo, which referred to Mo Ming—a contact he had saved recently.
If Yang Yuan could see the note in Ren Long's phone, he would certainly not choose to collaborate with him because such a note indicated that Ren Long had no intention of opposing Mo Ming at heart.
Everything that happened in the car was merely an act by Ren Long to confuse Yang Yuan. From the very beginning, Ren Long never intended to be an enemy of Mo Ming. After leaving Yang Yuan, he immediately reported to Mo Ming.
"Mr. Mo, this is Ren Long," Ren Long said with a slight smile. "I have something to tell you: Yang Yuan just contacted me and tried to recruit me as his ally against you."
"Perhaps Yang Yuan miscalculated his plans; Director Ren does not intend to be my enemy." On the other end, Mo Ming chuckled and said, "You made the right choice. You are on the right team, so rest assured, you will be grateful for this decision in the future."
"With Mr. Mo saying that, I feel relieved," Ren Long thought to himself, feeling a bit happy. He recalled Yang Yuan's words and frowned, saying, "But there's one thing I don't understand: how did Yang Yuan know that you have leverage over me?"
Mo Ming on the other side fell silent for a moment, clearly pondering before responding, "Director Ren, that's a good question. It has cleared up many of my doubts. Rest assured, no one else has your secrets besides me."
"That's good. Let's leave it at that for now."
After hanging up the phone, Mo Ming revealed a slight smile and said, "Yang Yuan, you big bad wolf, trying to play eavesdropping games with me—this is quite interesting! No matter what tricks you want to play, I will accompany you to the end."
Initially, Mo Ming couldn't understand why news of Murong Lian's return reached Yang Yuan so quickly. It turned out that Yang Yuan had installed a listening device in Murong Lian's office; otherwise, he wouldn't have known that Ren Long had leverage over him.
If it weren't for Yang Yuan informing Ren Long, who then told him, he probably wouldn't have figured it out. Unbeknownst to him, Yang Yuan had placed a listening device in Murong Lian's office.
Fortunately, the discovery was timely; otherwise, Yang Yuan would have uncovered quite a bit of information.
Now that everyone had finished work, when Mo Ming received the call from Ren Long, he happened to be in the lounge smoking a cigarette, preparing to leave after finishing it. Now he wasn't in a hurry; he needed to find that listening device first. However, before that, he planned to toy with Yang Yuan a bit.
