["It's impossible, such a ridiculous thing couldn't happen. I must be overthinking."]
["The Shen family does want Hongtu Shares, and the Zhou family has had conflicts with the Shen family for a long time."]
Xu Mo quickly dismissed his previous thought.
Eavesdropping on inner thoughts?
Absolutely impossible!
As someone who had lived through the plot once as a time-traveler and reincarnator,
With a system at his disposal,
How could it be possible for others to hear his thoughts?
Zhou Qiaoqiao smiled mischievously, "Have you forgotten about the hostility between my Zhou family and the Shen family?"
Because of his sycophant persona,
Xu Mo had given profitable projects from the Xu Corporation to the Shen family for collaboration.
Facing his not-yet-married wife from the Zhou family, he only tossed them some scraps.
The Shen family ate the meat, while the Zhou family drank the soup.
If it weren't for Xu's Father and Xu's Mother intervening, Xu Mo wouldn't even want to give the Zhou family a chance to drink the soup.
Even just a sip of the Xu Corporation's soup meant an annual net profit of over a billion.
It was just as he had expected.
Xu Mo, feeling somewhat weary, said: "Mm, I understand."
["Since the plot has already derailed, let it be."]
["Let the she-devil do as she pleases. I don't have any scenes now, so I don't want to get involved."]
["However, it would be best if the she-devil could run into that idiot Dragon King Lin Fan later. All of this was orchestrated by Lin Fan. If he discovers that the Xu Corporation has canceled the plan..."]
["He'll definitely make sure Shen Manni doesn't acquire Hongtu Shares. He might even expose Hongtu's mess early, potentially putting the Xu Corporation in a crisis where they can't transfer the shares."]
["Should I go help out?"]
Lin Fan? Lin Fan again!
That little bodyguard around Shen Manni?
A flash of ruthlessness passed through Zhou Qiaoqiao's eyes.
At the same time, she couldn't help but worry.
If Xu Mo went to help,
This sell-off plan would most likely fall through!
After all, this was the Xu Family Business, not the Zhou Family Business!
She didn't have complete control here.
In the next moment,
Zhou Qiaoqiao's lips curved into a sly smile, "Then this enchantress will bring people to help you take revenge!"
That's right, she had heard Xu Mo's thoughts again!
["Go to hell! My scenes aren't for a few days. I'm not bored out of my mind with nothing to do."]
["The sell-off plan can be delayed for a few days, or whoever wants to go can go. I'm too lazy to go over there."]
["Just seeing that stupid woman Shen Manni makes me want to vomit, having to act like a sycophant."]
Everyone looked at Xu Mo.
Xu Mo was the backbone here.
All final decisions were made by him.
Xu Mo: "Let's leave things as they are for today. I see it's almost time to clock out. Tomorrow, we'll finalize the plan for how to sell to the Shen family."
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Boss, are you kidding?
This involves hundreds of billions in funds!!!
Not just a thousand bucks.
With that, Xu Mo strode towards the conference room door, leaving behind a group of bewildered senior managers.
Xu Mo's capricious personality wasn't anything new.
Everyone knew about it.
But as long as Hongtu Shares weren't sold off,
They felt uneasy!
If Xu Fuqiang, Xu Mo's father, were to blame them, he would surely come after them!
For a moment, everyone was on edge.
"To get the plot back on track, I've already sacrificed a lot."
"If it still doesn't get back on track, you idiots Shen Manni and Lin Fan can eat shit."
After leaving the conference room,
Xu Mo looked relaxed.
Instead of returning to his office, he took his car keys and entered the elevator.
He was going to the club... ahem... he was going to a place of high culture to enjoy the various aspects of life.
To stretch his muscles and relax.
He remembered that No. 28 was quite pretty, just a bit lacking in technique.
No. 39 had a good figure and was very skilled, but those eyes that always seemed to want to devour him, just like Zhou Qiaoqiao's, were really off-putting.
Forget it, he'd choose No. 14.
No. 14 was not only good-looking but also pleasant to talk to. He really enjoyed being with her.
Xu Mo hummed a cheerful tune.
When the time came, he'd let Li Ming and some incompetent senior officials take the blame.
After all, it was their proposal.
If worse came to worst, he'd let his old man give him a beating.
Xu Mo had already thought of a way out.
A beating was fine.
If his iron-clad body wasn't meant to be beaten, then what was the point of training it?
As Xu Mo left,
Everyone in the conference room deflated like balloons.
Without Xu Mo's orders, they couldn't make a decision.
They knew what to do, but without Xu Mo's word, they feared the responsibility would fall on their shoulders.
At that point, it wouldn't be a problem that could be solved by resigning.
"Did I say you could leave?"
Zhou Qiaoqiao's cool voice rang out.
With Xu Mo gone, she seemed to have transformed into a different person.
She had put away her coquettish demeanor.
Her current aura was that of a mature business queen!
Li Ming: "Ma'am, but Mr. Xu..."
Zhou Qiaoqiao: "He's not here, I'm in charge now! Do as I say. Call the legal department and have them prepare the contract for transferring Hongtu's market value. Make sure there are no oversights! You senior executives, come with me to Shen Manni's company!"
It was a good thing Xu Mo had left.
Only then could Zhou Qiaoqiao act freely.
If Xu Mo had been around, she would have been worried that he might try to sabotage her efforts to maintain his sycophant persona.
Not secretly, but openly.
She didn't want to go against her little man.
Even knowing it was all fake,
Zhou Qiaoqiao didn't want to!
With someone taking the main responsibility,
These people suddenly became more enthusiastic about their work.
Even if Xu Mo got angry in the end,
He would confront Zhou Qiaoqiao.
What could outsiders say about the couple's affairs?
That was a private matter, this was business.
Business came first! The big picture was the priority!
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the entrance of Shen Corporation.
Zhou Qiaoqiao knew that this time, on the surface, they were dumping Hongtu Shares onto Shen Manni and the Shen family.
But at the same time, it was also the first confrontation between the two women!
In the past, when Xu Mo had been indifferent towards her,
Zhou Qiaoqiao felt that such behavior wasn't worth it, as if it devalued her and made her seem desperate!
But now it was different.
Ever since she could hear Xu Mo's thoughts, everything had changed.
The world was once again filled with beauty.
Every moment was worth cherishing!
Shen Manni, of course, wouldn't ride in the same car as her employees. She got out of her white Maserati Quattroporte.
Her eyes narrowed slightly as she clicked her high heels into the Shen Corporation building.
Li Ming and members of the Xu Corporation legal department followed behind.
This spectacle immediately caught the attention of Shen Corporation employees.
It was hard not to notice.
