Chapter 435: Office Romance

The Mo Family.

After being caught last time, Mo Shengli had restrained himself.

Old Mrs. Mo was arranging the flowers in the garden. Mo Shengli stepped forward and spoke flatteringly.

“Mom! Tell Jinrong to let me go to work, I promise I won’t fool around again.”

Old Mrs. Mo turned to look at him and continued to trim the flowers.

“Shengli, I don’t want to nag at you, but how old are you already? Why are you still behaving like a child? Jinrong didn’t tell me about the matters of the company, but I heard about the lousy things you did from others. I know that you just came back and have missed out on all the experiences in the Mo Family.

But this isn’t a reason for you to usurp the position. The shareholders of the Mo Corporation grew up with your father and are older than you. What are you trying to do by buying their shares?

I can’t blame Jinrong for criticizing you. Previously, Changwen did those things behind my back. Are you going to do those things behind my back too?”

Old Mrs. Mo put down the scissors in her hand while she talked.

“Mom! I’m not trying to usurp Jinrong, it’s just that in the past few months, I haven’t earned as much as when I’m working elsewhere. Jinrong didn’t increase my salary or bring me any documents. I’m just doing those boring jobs everyday. I’m just a fake Emperor, aren’t you worried about me?”

Mo Shengli felt wronged.

“You haven’t tried to usurp the position? Let me tell you, there is only one CEO in the Mo Corporation, and that is Mo Jinrong. You have seen Jinrong’s abilities. The corporation wouldn’t be where it is today without him. If I were to hand the company over to you, how long do you think the company would last?

I heard that last time you took a cheque to threaten the finance department to retrieve two billion for you. Although two billion isn’t a large sum to us, it isn’t a small sum either. You would have to get Jinrong’s permission to use this money. Jinrong didn’t say much because you are his uncle.

But you can’t go overboard. You can rest at home for a while or do your stocks. Don’t interfere with the company’s matters anymore. I agree with Jinrong’s suggestion.”

Old Mrs. Mo continued to hold the scissors in her hand and began to trim the flowers again.

“Mom, you should rest while I trim the flowers.”

He snatched the scissors from Old Mrs. Mo and trimmed the blooming roses.

“These flowers were growing well, how could you cut them off from their roots? These are my most cherished things, how can you not cherish them?”

Old Mrs. Mo stepped forward to snatch the scissors, but was held tightly by Mo Shengli.

“Mom, let me cut it. It’s a sin for certain things to bloom too luxuriously. I just don’t like the way it attracts so much attention amidst the crowd.”

Mo Shengli’s words had a double meaning, shocking Old Mrs. Mo.

She suddenly remembered Mo Jinrong’s words. After so many years, he had indeed changed.

“Shengli, there are some things I advise you to let go of as soon as possible. I know you are upset and dissatisfied, but you should know when to stop. This flower is the best, so why don’t you place it in a vase and admire its beauty?”

Old Mrs. Mo bent down and picked up the cut rose from the ground.

“Mom, I’m not in the mood to talk about such poetic things. I just know that there are some things I must do and succeed in.”

Mo Shengli threw down the scissors in his hand and returned to the house.

“Old Mrs. Mo, Mr. Mo has changed. I don’t remember him being like this before.”

Nanny Wu glanced at Wu Shengli worriedly.

“He’s changed. I don’t know what he experienced these past few years, but it seems that Jinrong is right. We have to be careful, you go…” Old Mrs. Mo said to Nanny Wu.

Nanny Wu turned to leave. Old Mrs. Mo looked at Mo Shengli walking into the house, sighed, and continued to pick up the cut flowers.

At the company.

Lan Anran returned to the company after dealing with her brother’s matter.

“Why didn’t you tell me you were back?

Lan Anran pushed the door open and saw Mo Jinrong. He was seated at his desk and looking down at his documents.

“Tell you, who is a spy?” Mo Jinrong joked.

“It’s been a while since we last met, did you miss me?”

Lan Anran took the initiative to approach him with a smile.

Mo Jinrong pulled her into his arms, raising an eyebrow with a smile.

“Of course I did, why else would I be back so soon?”

“Didn’t you say it takes about half a month? It hasn’t even been fifteen days.”

“Actually, I didn’t leave the country. I sent someone to secretly monitor Mo Shengli and discovered that he was secretly taking the shareholders’ shares. I didn’t expect him to be so impatient after such a long time.”

Mo Jinrong didn’t expect Mo Shengli to be in such a hurry.

“You are indeed an old fox.”

Lan Anran nodded her head and smiled.

“I’ve been gone for so many days and heard about the Lan Family matters. Lan Yaxin still hasn’t agreed to the marriage.”

Mo Jinrong had been sending people to monitor Lan Yaxin.

Actually, he had expected this. It wouldn’t be easy to get her to agree.

“It’s normal for Lan Yaxin to disagree. If she agrees so easily, I wouldn’t know what to do.”

Lan Anran sat on Mo Jinrong’s lap, swaying leisurely.

“I’ll talk to the Zou Family and get them to pressure her.”

“It’s up to you. Since my brother’s matter is resolved, I’m not in a hurry. I’m going to the research institute to work and may not have time to come over and accompany you.”

Lan Yanran hugged his neck and smiled innocently.

“Are you prepared before you start work? I’ve missed you a lot these past few days.”

When Mo Jinrong grabbed her hand, he suddenly glanced at the jade bracelet on her wrist.

Lan Anran’s face was flushed and she spoke shyly.

“Are you that anxious?”

Mo Jinrong suddenly hugged her waist tightly and kissed her on the cheek.

“It’s been such a long time since we’ve been married, but I haven’t touched your body. How many couples do you think there are that are like us in the world?” Mo Jinrong said softly by her ear, causing her face to flush.

“Then, are we doing it here?”

Lan Anran pointed to the sofa shyly.

Mo Jinrong perked up and pushed her onto the sofa, preparing to take a bite.

There was a sudden knock on the office door.

“Young Master! The Qin Family is here.”

Mo San’s inappropriate words interrupted their conversation.

“Scram!”

He originally didn’t want to talk to that old bastard, Qin Hao, but Mo San didn’t have a choice, so he continued speaking.

“He’s already waiting in the conference room, he said he has something to discuss with you.”

Mo San seemed to have disturbed his boss, but Qin Hao’s matter was urgent.

Mo Jinrong looked at the beauty in front of him impatiently. He only stood up reluctantly after sucking a large hickey on her neck and collarbone. He straightened his clothes and opened the door.

“What is that old fox doing here today?”

Mo San shook his head.

“He didn’t say anything, he just told me to invite you over, and I just left him waiting after that.”

Mo Jinrong wanted to close the door, but Lan Anran sat up and said, “Boss Mo, go ahead if you have something to do. You don’t have to skip your meeting because of me. I have something to do, so I’ll take my leave.”

Lan Anran picked up her bag and walked past Mo Jinrong.
