3329 Add Fuel to Fire

He would rather not have this authority than do a bad job.

Although he wasn’t always in the headquarters, whenever there was a problem, he would come back immediately and handle it with thunderous means.

However, even if he wanted to step down, he wouldn’t hand it over to those who had impure intentions. He clearly knew who had the ability and was reliable.

Although no one believed it, Minister Zhu still continued. “This isn’t something that I alone can decide, but the leader must be someone who is in the headquarters and can be reached when we need him.”

He said that, because he had strong ambitions for this position. Otherwise, he wouldn’t always pick on Li Mochen.

It was well-known that he had ambitions, but he never admitted it.

“So Minister Zhu, is there anything that you cannot handle now?” Li Mochen asked.

Although his voice was very calm, Zhu Jiedong felt questioned and retorted somewhat unwillingly. “No, there isn’t.”

“Since there isn’t, why did Minister Zhu want me to come back?” Li Mochen asked.

Zhu Jiedong was struck dumb for a second and suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Cheng Yanghong opened his mouth. “Everyone here is capable and can handle their own responsibilities well. It’s just that we feel the leader isn’t in the headquarters much and is therefore somewhat derelict.”

“If you don’t need me to handle anything, I don’t have any business in the headquarters. My work hasn’t gone wrong. Why do I have to stay in the headquarters?” Li Mochen asked.

For a moment, no one could answer him. Li Mochen continued. “Do you think being the leader is easy? Do you think I go out to have fun? Don’t forget, the leader also has a responsibility to periodically inspect the industry.”

“Don’t you trust us?” Cheng Yanghong angrily questioned. He was angry, not just because he was being doubted, but also because he was guilty.

Although he hadn’t betrayed the Wolf Gang, he had stolen a lot of public fund.

“I’m simply patrolling, does that mean I don’t trust you? Minister Cheng, this is really hard to understand. As the leader of the Wolf Gang, I control 51% of the Shengyi Group’s shares. Is it not normal for me to patrol the industries under the Wolf Gang?” Li Mochen asked, with a tone that wasn’t cold but made people feel pressured.

Cheng Yanghong didn’t know what to say for a moment.

As the leader of the Wolf Gang, it was normal for Li Mochen to patrol their industries.

Li Mochen didn’t come back this time to argue with them. In fact, the Wolf Gang received a task that required Li Mochen to take action in person.

No one in the Wolf Gang was more capable than Li Mochen. Some tricky things still needed Li Mochen’s help.

…

Zhu Jiedong and Cheng Yanghong had already formed a faction. They were all resisting Li Mochen because among all of them, Li Mochen was the youngest.

They felt that Li Mochen was too young to be the leader.

They didn’t deny his abilities. Li Mochen did have that ability. However, precisely because he had that ability and was still young, they became more jealous and resistant. Then they kept trying to oppose him and prove that Li Mochen wasn’t so great.

Unfortunately, they hadn’t been able to do so yet.

“This task is said to be very dangerous. If Li Mochen can’t come back, that would be great, right? Brother Zhu,” Cheng Yanghong said.

Zhu Jiedong and Cheng Yanghong teamed up to resist Li Mochen, but that was all. As for the position of the leader, they were also competing fairly with each other. They just agreed not to play dirty tricks.

They didn’t like Li Mochen because they wanted to take his position.

“Brother Cheng is right, but hope is hope. The possibility is probably not high since Li Mochen has already taken on dangerous tasks before,” Zhu Jiedong said.

“Why don’t we add fuel to the fire?” Cheng Yanghong said, with a hint of killing intent in his eyes. He had been thinking about this idea for a long time, but it was the first time he had mentioned it to Zhu Jiedong.

He had never thought of acting alone, fearing that things would be exposed and he would be made a scapegoat.

If Zhu Jiedong was with him, he would be willing to take the risk.

Zhu Jiedong was no different from Cheng Yanghong, but even with Cheng Yanghong by his side, Zhu Jiedong was still unwilling to try. “Oh, I don’t have the courage for this! I’m afraid that if we fail and get exposed, we’ll end up being made a scapegoat. Brother Cheng, let’s just hold on for now and see if there are other ways!”

Cheng Yanghong spat at Zhu Jiedong in his heart, knowing full well that he was also someone who wanted to reap the benefits without taking any risks.

It was just a dream!

…

Things had completely been settled in Leng Xiaoyao’s life. She either did mock exams or reviewed questions and explained them to her classmates these days. Class 8 was also in a state of tension.

On Saturday, An Chenmeng invited Leng Xiaoyao to have dinner at her home. It was An Weiping and his wife’s wish to thank Leng Xiaoyao for saving An Chenjun with her talisman.

Leng Xiaoyao accepted the invitation.

In the blink of an eye, it was the National College Entrance Examination.

Leng Xiaoyao and Xiong Manxin were arranged to take the exam at their own school, while several others, including An Chenmeng, were arranged at other schools.

On the day before the National College Entrance Examination, everyone went to see the exam classrooms one after another. It was also on this day that Leng Xiaoyao, Xiong Manxin and the others gathered together to have a meal.

“Do your best on the exam. If you do well, I’ll take you all out to have fun, but have you thought about where you want to go?” Leng Xiaoyao asked. This was something she kept in mind.

“The capital city.”

The other girls said in unison, because they all longed to go to the capital city, but they didn’t know how many of them would actually be admitted to universities in the capital city. Therefore, they decided to go to the capital city.

“No problem, I just bought a house in the capital city. You can come stay at my place instead of staying in a hotel,” Leng Xiaoyao said. There were indeed many places worth visiting in the capital city.

“What?”

The other girls were surprised, not because Leng Xiaoyao could afford a house in the capital city, but because they didn’t know when she did that.

“Xiaoyao, when did you buy a house in the capital city?” asked Xiong Manxin.

“Last month,” Leng Xiaoyao said.

“If I get accepted into a university in the capital city, I’ll have my family buy me a house there too. Boss, which community did you buy in? Let me see if I can be your neighbor,” An Chenmeng said.

With An’s family assets of several hundred billion yuan, buying one or even dozens of houses in the capital city wasn’t a problem.

“Hanlin Manor,” Leng Xiaoyao said.

“Boss, your family bought you a house in Hanlin Manor?” An Chenmeng was stunned because she knew about the Leng family’s business. Although it was worth over a hundred million yuan, it wasn’t easy to spend tens of millions of yuan on a house in Hanlin Manor.
