Liu Lichen was a prodigy to be able to devise this much from Mu Yuhao's single sentence and action. People like this usually tend to over-complicate the situation.
"Moving forward, it'd be wise not to back the wrong horse. Apparently, Old Chairman favors President Mu, yet Mister Mu holds seniority while President Mu is still very young. Therefore, the position went to Mister Mu. It's too early to tell who will come up on top."
"That's true. That's true..."
Mu Yuhao's words of frustration were decoded into such conspiracy theories by the senior executives. He, however, had no intention of vying for the CEO position; if they only knew that. He was just too lazy to utilize the private elevator most of the time; their biometrics were all recorded into the system and anyone could use it. The Mu family was perfectly harmonious as well.
Mu Yuhao stepped out of the elevator and marched straight for the chairman's office. He knocked and was greeted with a mellow, "Come in."
He pushed open the door. He did not wait for the door to swing shut and asked, "Uncle, why didn't you wait for me? I wanted to introduce you to everyone."
With his back toward him, Mu Jinchen stood by the full-length windows as he stared out into the fog below him while Qidong and another secretary were reporting on something he could not make out. When he heard Mu Yuhao, he turned around with his brows slightly frowned. His expression coupled with his exquisite facial features seemed to cause the tidy office to grow a tad colder.
"Going forward, there will be no need for such surface-level fanfare. I'm only concerned with results. If you have the bandwidth, I want you to handle the Sasa Macau Entertainment city expansion project in S City."
"No, no, I'm very busy. I still have several projects at hand, after all. I'll prepare for the meeting. See you later." Mu Yuhao stole himself away after hearing Mu Jinchen's words.
If such a large project was assigned to him, he would not have any time to date. He still needed to spare some time to pursue Jing Wushuang.
After Mu Yuhao left, Mu Jinchen lit a cigarette and took a drag from it before he spoke, "It's almost time. Let's head to the meeting room."
Qidong acknowledged and, together with the secretary, packed up the materials and prepared to head for the conference room.
Mu Jinchen flicked off the ashes, took another drag before extinguishing his cigarette. He then strode out of the office ahead of the two.
Qidong was used to the young master's habits; he always smoked when he needed a clear head. However, he never took breaks during meetings to smoke, no matter how long the duration the meetings were.
The largest conference room in Chenyu Tower was fully crowded. Attendees usually made small talk before meetings. Today, however, the neat conference room was dead silent. The atmosphere was serious and solemn.
The doors to the conference room swung open one minute before nine o' clock. A noble and stern man came through the doors, strides firm as he walked in. He was handsome to a fault; his whole person radiated an aura of nobility.
The people who saw Mu Jinchen for the first time gasped. To the outside world, one word described Mu Jinchen: mystifying. There were no images of him in any media, nor did they mention his looks. Who knew he was so… breathtaking.
That was it. His beauty could only be described as breathtaking.
The female executives gawked unconsciously at him. Mu Jinchen frowned displeasingly, his narrow eyes swept coldly across the attendees like a chill of early spring.
It was so intense that the female executives quickly withdrew their gaze and dared not even breathe.
