Chapter 77 – 076: The Bond of Landlord
Similarly, this was the question Liu Hao feared the most. Liu Hao took a deep breath, slightly struggled internally for a moment, then smiled and said, “Since he’s Young Master Mo’s brother, he’s our brother too. Young Master Mo, come on, take the seat up here.”
“No, I’ll just sit next to Xiao Han.” Mo Shaocong sat down next to Xiao Han with a chuckle. The seat next to Xiao Han was empty, and right next to Mo Shaocong was Boss Li. Seeing Mo Shaocong sit down, Boss Li was sweating buckets, and he hurriedly moved to the left, trying to get as far away from Mo Shaocong as possible. It seemed that he was somewhat scared.
After all, Boss Li had put quite a bit of effort into mocking and humiliating Xiao Han just now.
Mo Shaocong sat down next to him and then looked around at everyone with a chuckle, saying, “Come on, fill up the drinks.”
“I’ll pour the drinks!” Liu Hao quickly stood up, taking the Top-Grade Maotai and walked toward Mo Shaocong.
Just as he was about to pour the drink for Mo Shaocong, Mo Shaocong hurriedly held the bottle and said, “Fill up my brother’s glass first.”
Liu Hao was startled. He had just been having a fierce argument with Xiao Han, and now he was expected to pour him a drink, which was quite frustrating for him. He hesitated for a moment, still choosing to pour a drink for Xiao Han in the end. After all, he had to save some face for Young Master Mo.
Xiao Han had been calm all along, but since Mo Shaocong’s arrival, Xiao Han had become somewhat uneasy.
“Big Brother Mo, when did you come back from Macau?” Xiao Han asked curiously.
“I came back a few days ago,” Mo Shaocong smiled and said, “There was some business at home, so I came back to deal with it. I didn’t expect to run into you here. Why didn’t you tell me? I could have taken care of you.”
“That’s not necessary,” Xiao Han said awkwardly, “The main reason I came to the provincial city this time is to sign an agency contract with Director Li.”
While speaking, Xiao Han hastily introduced Li Xiaoya to Mo Shaocong.
“Big Brother, this is Huihong Group’s Executive President, Li Xiaoya!” Xiao Han said with a smile.
“Li Xiaoya?” Mo Shaocong paused and then laughed, “I know, a flower of the provincial city. A representative of outstanding entrepreneurs, and I think you were on CCTV a while back, right?”
“You flatter me, Young Master Mo,” Li Xiaoya said with a polite smile, “Young Master Mo is the real entrepreneur of Z province, who has expanded a business in just a few years and even listed it in Hong Kong. You are truly the role model for those of us who struggle in the business world.”
Mo Shaocong laughed heartily, “Let’s not talk about that. Director Li is the Golden Flower of the business world, after all. I heard your marriage went through some changes half a year ago? You must be single now, and there must be quite a few people pursuing you, right?”
“Well...” Li Xiaoya’s face turned red.
At this moment, Liu Hao smiled and said, “Isn’t Xiao Han her boyfriend?”
“Oh?” Mo Shaocong paused, looking at Xiao Han in surprise.
Xiao Han was caught off guard. As a brother, he definitely couldn’t lie to Young Master Mo. But if he debunked the lie himself, it would be extremely embarrassing for Li Xiaoya. Xiao Han frowned at Liu Hao. This guy was really mean, stirring up trouble at this time, making Xiao Han extremely uncomfortable, to the point where he felt caught between a rock and a hard place.
Mo Shaocong kept watching Xiao Han, seemingly waiting for his answer. And Li Xiaoya was staring at Xiao Han with a nervous face, hoping he would not expose her, as that would make all her efforts of today go to waste, and she would also end up with a bad reputation.
“Good, then this drink I will raise with Xiao Han in honor of all of you!” Mo Shaocong lifted his glass, then said, “Xiao Han is young and ignorant, if he has done anything wrong or has been neglectful in any way, I hope you all can forgive him.”
“Yes, yes, yes!” Everyone nodded in agreement.
Who wouldn’t want to give face to Young Master Mo? In the realms of the provincial city, Mo Shaocong was a man whose word was law. Moreover, it was said that Young Master Mo was always very loyal. To be able to call him a brother was no simple matter.
So, Liu Hao’s friends immediately got the message. They all thought that Xiao Han was certainly no ordinary person. Even if there was a gap in status and position compared to Young Master Mo, Xiao Han was definitely from a wealthy or noble background. As for the things that Xiao Han had mentioned earlier, they all took it as the start-up phase of a second-generation official’s entrepreneurship.
Thus, they decided to cozy up to this big tree good and proper. Even if Xiao Han’s connections were not that significant, his relationship with Young Master Mo alone made him worth befriending.
In this world, it’s better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Young Master Mo, Mo Shaocong, stayed in the private room for a short while.
Before long, a man rushed in, whispered a few words into Mo Shaocong’s ear, and his expression changed abruptly. He quickly stood up and said, “Xiao Han, something came up at home, I have to go. You might have to leave for LJ city pretty soon too,” Xiao Han replied.
“So soon?” Mo Shaocong was momentarily taken aback.
“Yes!” Xiao Han nodded, “I have classes tomorrow.”
“Isn’t tomorrow the weekend?” Mo Shaocong curiously asked.
“The workload is intense in grade twelve; I have the college entrance exam next year,” Xiao Han said helplessly. “So I don’t have much time.”
“Alright,” Mo Shaocong said, disappointed, “You sure are something. Well, we’ll meet some other time then.”
“Sure!” Xiao Han nodded.
Mo Shaocong turned and left in a hurry, without greeting anyone. This showed that he always acted decisively and his style was formidable. He would befriend those he liked without reserve and ignore those he didn’t like. He was truly a person with an exceptional character.
After Mo Shaocong left, the private room immediately fell quiet.
Liu Hao’s expression grew serious.
Just as he was about to speak, Boss Li hastily stood up, “Young Master Liu, that... I have some issues at home to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”
After that, Boss Li hurriedly grabbed his coat and left.
“Ah...” Liu was momentarily stunned.
Before Liu could react, President Chen also quickly stood up and said, “My wife just sent me a message, and I need to go home for a bit, so I’ve got to leave too, Young Master Liu. Next time when I’m free, I’ll treat you. We won’t return until we’re drunk.”
