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 mont, then smiled and said, “Since he’s Young Master Mo’s brother, he’s our brother too. Young Master Mo, co 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 seed that he was sowhat 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, “Co 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 argunt with Xiao Han, and now he was expected to pour him a drink, which was quite frustrating for him. He hesitated for a mont, still choosing to pour a drink for Xiao Han in the end. After all, he had to save so face for Young Master Mo.
Xiao Han had been calm all along, but since Mo Shaocong’s arrival, Xiao Han had beco sowhat uneasy.
“Big Brother Mo, when did you co back from Macau?” Xiao Han asked curiously.
“I ca back a few days ago,” Mo Shaocong smiled and said, “There was so business at ho, so I ca back to deal with it. I didn’t expect to run into you here. Why didn’t you tell ? I could have taken care of you.”
“That’s not necessary,” Xiao Han said awkwardly, “The main reason I ca to the provincial city this ti 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 , 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 so 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 mont, 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 extrely embarrassing for Li Xiaoya. Xiao Han frowned at Liu Hao. This guy was really an, stirring up trouble at this ti, making Xiao Han extrely 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.
“Big Brother, indeed he is,” Xiao Han nodded slightly.
“Oh…” Mo Shaocong nodded with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.
Li Xiaoya instantly relaxed, her body easing significantly. She quickly added, “Young Master Mo, sorry for the confusion.”
“It’s nothing, matters of the heart,” Mo Shaocong laughed, “Everyone has their emotions and desires. What’s there to not understand? Besides, Xiao Han is so handso and Li Xiaoya is so beautiful. You two are surely a match made in heaven, right?”
Liu Hao’s plan fell through, and he was imdiately displeased. However, with Young Master Mo there, he didn’t dare say anything and had to obediently keep silent. Although Li Xiaoya felt she had escaped a trap, sitting in her chair, she felt a bit uncomfortable, after all, she had lied.
“Young Master Mo, let toast to you!” Li Xiaoya quickly held up her glass, then smiled and said, “This drink is to thank you on Xiao Han’s behalf!”
“Haha, don’t ntion it,” Mo Shaocong laughed heartily, saying, “Xiao Han is my brother, so from now on, you’re my sister-in-law. If you have any trouble in the provincial city, feel free to co to . I’ll definitely help you out.”
“That’s great.” Li Xiaoya was waiting for that very sentence. She had been racking her brain on how to connect with Young Master Mo until now, and the only way seed to be using Xiao Han. While toasting, she had prepared what to say next, but to her surprise, Young Master Mo didn’t wait for her to speak and already offered her the words she wanted to hear.
Since she had achieved her purpose, there was no need for more insincere words.
Li Xiaoya appeared very happy and excited, her lips curving into a slight, thrilled smile, “Thank you, thank you so much, Young Master Mo!”
“You’re welco!” Mo Shaocong shook his head, saying, “Since it’s Xiao Han’s matter, it’s also my matter. You’re Xiao Han’s girlfriend, so naturally, you are also my friend.”
Liu Hao and the others looked at each other in dismay, having not expected the situation to escalate to this point. Initially, they thought they could forge a connection with Young Master Mo, Mo Shaocong, but it turned out that Mo’s relationship with Xiao Han was ironclad. Liu hadn’t anticipated all this, so now he could only watch helplessly.
If he had known that Xiao Han and Young Master Mo were so tight, he wouldn’t have offended Xiao Han, and he wouldn’t be so clueless about what to do now.
However, Liu Hao was never one to give up easily. Since he had set his sights on Li Xiaoya, he was determined to win her over, no matter how formidable the other party might be. Liu Hao was not one to shrink back or give up.
“Young Master Mo, this group is all entrepreneurs from the provincial city,” Liu Hao interrupted Xiao Han, then smiled and said, “Everyone here admires you greatly.”
“You flatter .” Young Master Mo, Mo Shaocong, gave the group a cursory glance.
Each person’s eyes were filled with eagerness, as if each of them was keen to beco acquainted with Young Master Mo. Mo Shaocong smiled faintly, a slight smile curling at the corner of his mouth, “Young Master Liu, today’s al is on .”
“No, no, no!” As soon as Liu heard this, he hurriedly waved his hands, saying, “How could that be okay? Even though you own this restaurant, we can’t just eat and drink for free!”
“Today my brother Xiao Han has co to the provincial city, so I should extend the hospitality due to a host,” Mo Shaocong said earnestly. “Consider it my treat to my brother!”
Liu Hao’s face darkened on the spot. Today’s al was originally ant to be his treat for Li Xiaoya and his group of friends. With Young Master Mo’s intervention, he found himself in an awkward position. Not only did he fail to woo the woman, but he also couldn’t save face in front of his friends. Liu was feeling pretty sour about it.
“What? Don’t you want to?” Mo Shaocong asked.
“No, no, how could I dare!” Liu Hao imdiately shook his head, saying, “Since Young Master Mo is offering to host, then I won’t be polite.”
“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 agreent.
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 imdiately got the ssage. 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 ntioned 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, sothing ca up at ho, I have to go. You might have to leave for LJ city pretty soon too,” Xiao Han replied.
“So soon?” Mo Shaocong was montarily 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 ti.”
“Alright,” Mo Shaocong said, disappointed, “You sure are sothing. Well, we’ll et so other ti 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 imdiately 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 so issues at ho to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”
After that, Boss Li hurriedly grabbed his coat and left.
“Ah…” Liu was montarily stunned.
Before Liu could react, President Chen also quickly stood up and said, “My wife just sent a ssage, and I need to go ho for a bit, so I’ve got to leave too, Young Master Liu. Next ti when I’m free, I’ll treat you. We won’t return until we’re drunk.”
