A week later at Golden Star Entertainment.
There had been a massive change to the company as Mo Yuchen suddenly decided to fire several employees. It had been shocking news not only to the other employees who remained in their posts, but also to the board who still didn't have any confidence in Mo Yuchen's performance.
As Mo Yuchen strode towards his office, other employees fled in fear and tried their best to not gain his attention. There was something different about him that they couldn't explain.
If before, Mo Yuchen had a domineering aura around him, making him look arrogant in one's eyes, right now, he had this intimidating and threatening aura that was waiting to be unleashed. It was as if he had turned into a different person overnight.
Mo Yuchen had just summoned the finance director of Golden Star, wanting the man to bring all the annual reports of the past six years for him to review. He also asked his assistant to make a detailed report of what transpired from the moment he joined Golden Star, which left everyone confused.
Not only was Mo Yuchen acting differently than usual, but his request could warrant suspicion from people who were close to him. The biggest surprise was when he suddenly called off his engagement with Huang Jingjing, earning a furious reaction from the Huang family for being disrespectful.
"CEO Mo, these are the financial reports you requested."
The finance director and a company analyst arrived at his office and placed the documents Mo Yuchen requested on top of his desk.
"You two, take a seat and explain to me our current financial situation and the plans we have for the future."
The director and the analyst looked at each other in confusion. Was Mo Yuchen trying to test them by asking such questions? They wondered. They couldn't think of any reason why Mo Yuchen was asking them such questions, aside from him doing a massive cleaning in their company.
Seeing that they had no other choice, they broke into a cold sweat and answered Mo Yuchen's question in detail, not missing anything in their report. They both feared that Mo Yuchen was waiting for them to commit a mistake and use it to kick them out of the company.
After two hours of deliberation, they stepped out of Mo Yuchen's office, feeling like they had lost half of their lifespan from that meeting. Thankfully, Mo Yuchen didn't make any indication that he was displeased with their report, and they could finally sigh in relief.
Once they left, it was Mo Yuchen's assistant's turn to present his report. Even he was curious as to what Mo Yuchen had in his mind, as he couldn't predict him at all. He used to be able to tell what Mo Yuchen wanted or thought by merely looking at his face, but now, it felt like he was looking at a different person who shared the same face with his boss.
"So you mean to say that Mo Yuan is still alive somewhere?" Mo Yuchen's deep baritone voice sent shivers on his assistant's spine.
"Yes. We received reports a couple of months ago that he was spotted overseas by one of our partners." His assistant confirmed.
At this, Mo Yuchen clasped his hands together over his desk and fell silent.
"And Su Xiaofei?" He asked after a long silence.
His assistant furrowed his brows together in confusion. What about Su Xiaofei? He thought. His boss and that woman had broken off their engagement a long time ago and had recently gotten into a verbal fight, but there was no progress after it.
Didn't they mutually hate each other? So why was his boss suddenly interested to know about Su Xiaofei's affairs now?
When his assistant remained silent, Mo Yuchen stared at him with a cold, piercing gaze.
"I won't repeat my question." He warned him.
His assistant cleared his throat and coughed behind his hand in an attempt to buy some time to gather his thoughts.
"After your heated argument with Miss Su, I heard that she celebrated her birthday with her friends and family. Her relationship with Lu Qingfeng was also officially announced."
Another uncomfortable silence followed? as Mo Yuchen's expression hardened, but he didn't make a comment over his assistant's report.
The intercom beeped, saving his poor assistant from being subjected to Mo Yuchen's interrogation.
"CEO Mo, Miss Ye is here to meet you. Should I send her in?" It was the voice of one of Mo Yuchen's secretaries that was stationed outside his office.
Mo Yuchen's assistant didn't miss how his expression turned worse upon hearing the question.
"Did you just say, Miss Ye?" Mo Yuchen asked, his eyes flashing with unconcealed anger in them.
"Yes, it's Miss Ye. Ye Mingyu from Top Tier Entertainment." His assistant answered instead. "She has been paying frequent visits for some time now."
There was really something strange about their CEO Mo. The assistant was sure about it.
"How long?" Mo Yuchen continued to question him.
"About a month or so."
Ye Mingyu had suddenly become acquainted with Mo Yuchen and no one knew how the two even met in the first place. Most of them assumed that Ye Mingyu wanted to make him her money boss.
"At the time when Feifei and I broke our engagement, had she already met Miss Ye?"
The assistant wasn't sure where this series of questions was going and why Mo Yuchen was asking these questions.
"I suppose so. Didn't they graduate in the same year from Qiying City Academy years ago?"
Shouldn't Mo Yuchen be aware of this already?
At his words, Mo Yuchen sneered, clearly annoyed and angry about something his assistant couldn't understand.
The intercom was still on, the secretary was waiting patiently on the other end of the line for his answer. Noticing this, Mo Yuchen leaned on his seat and hardened his jaws.
"Let her in.. I want to know what kind of nonsense she would spout this time."
