Chapter 325: Chapter 326 Thick Black Theory

Mo Yizhi was very indirect. He didn’t say directly that my resignation might continue to hurt Fengchang. But I hesitated as if continuing to stick to the attitude of resignation was a very unfeeling and even inhuman thing.

Mo Yizhi must have seen my wavering. He sighed and continued to disintegrate my last line of defense, “Little Chu, are you still blaming Fei’er for deceiving you in the first place?”

I shook my head with a wry smile, feeling sorry for what I had caused. I honestly said, “how can I blame her? I was very angry at the time and felt that my self-esteem was hurt, but after thinking about it, I was also part of the problem. It was me who proposed the investment in Heng Xiang at that time…”

“Because you like Fei’er, right? So you did not hesitate to use such means to help her, and when you knew that she was just using you as a substitute for her father, you felt angry and betrayed, right? So when you accept Cheng Liusu’s feelings and later find out that Fei’er also likes you, you insist on leaving Fengchang, right? ”

Mo Yizhi asked me several questions in a row, which made my face blush in guilt. I didn’t even feel this way when I was interrogated by the police earlier…

“Chairman, I have told you this a long time ago, so I won’t deny it…”

“But don’t you think this is very unfair to Fei’er?” Mo Yizhi said with a serious expression, “Little Chu, feelings cannot be forced. You and I both understand this. But do you really have no feelings for Fei’er? We are both men. You don’t have to pretend to be innocent and faithful in front of me. I understand why you would choose to escape Fei’er’s feelings in response to Cheng Liusu’s feelings for you, but I think this is not responsible behavior, but a despicable deception, a display of hypocrisy and cowardice!”

“Who did I deceive? !” Damn this old man, I didn’t want to argue with him, but he actually started to educate me? I felt sorry for what happened, but logically, I was not the one who was in the wrong. “It is only a deception if I accept Fei Fei’s feelings. Do I have to deceive her to prove that I am not hypocritical and not cowardly?”

“You are deceiving Cheng Liusu.” Mo Yizhi’s face did not show any sign of change, and he asked sternly, “why are you avoiding Fei’er’s feelings? Is it because you don’t like her? No, it’s because you like her. Since you like her, how will you prove to Cheng Liusu that you are faithful? Isn’t this called hypocrisy? You don’t even dare to face Fei’er’s feelings. Isn’t this called cowardice? Little Chu, am I wrong?”

I didn’t know how to refute Mo Yizhi. At this time, I finally realized that an unfaithful man really didn’t have any excuses…

“If Cheng Liusu knew that you still like Fei’er in your heart, I don’t think she would be happy, and she would not accept it.” Mo Yizhi sighed and continued, “Little Chu, do you still remember what you said the first time we met in this office? Lying to other people is not scary. Although it is shameless, at least the people who lied know that they were lying. But the scary thing is that those who are lying to themselves. It will only make them refuse to accept reality. Facing your feelings truly is to give Fei’er and Cheng Liusu a chance, but also to give yourself a chance. Don’t lie to others, and don’t lie to yourself…”

I was sure that Mo Yizhi was just persuading me not to resign, but every word he said was hammering the place where I kept my secret in my heart. I understood what he said, and I had questioned myself like this countless times, but, there were some things that would not work in reality.

For example, if we saw someone drowning, we all knew that jumping into the water to save the person was the right thing to do, and it was a deed that was worth praising, but what if we didn’t know how to swim at all? Therefore, sometimes, one’s action would not determine whether the result was good or bad, only one’s ability would determine that. I believed that Mo Yizhi knew this much better than me.

Liusu was a woman who knew me well, and who I knew well. I knew her feelings and I knew how she would think. There were no intense passionate feelings when I saw her, but when I didn’t see her, I felt that my life was incomplete. Unconsciously, she had become a part of my life, even a part of my heart. Mo Fei was a woman who I admired. I used to think about her all day. She made me understand what unrequited love would feel like. And slowly I understood what was the difference between admiration and love…

I wasn’t confident that I would not get lost again.

If I said that I had never fantasized that I would have two girlfriends at the same time, then God would definitely send a bolt of lightning to remind me to be honest. But it was impossible to combine fantasy and reality. So like Xiao Zi, the relationship I had with Mo Fei was destined to be a regret in my life, and I would feel guilty for rejecting her. So the only thing I could do was to compensate her as much as possible that was within the scope of my ability, and atone for my own sin for being coldhearted.

I closed my eyes, trying to sort out all the unreasonable things that had happened to me recently. Mo Yizhi stopped talking. He just quietly waited for my answer.

After a few minutes, I took a deep breath and made what I thought was the right decision, “tell me who the Third Lady is. If she is not joking, I will do my best to help Fei Fei win the cooperative project. But I hope that at that time, you can respect my decision, approve my resignation, and… Stop using Fei Fei’s position to force me to make a choice. This is equally unfair to her.”

Mo Yizhi was also dazed and then smiled. It was very fake, and I believed that he was pretending. It seemed that he had already predicted my decision.

In the end, Mo Yizhi did not tell me the identity of the Third Lady, nor her background, but he promised me that he would arrange for me to meet with her in a while. He said that this was the third lady’s own decision.

I guess it was because she was afraid that after I found out her identity, I would go around talking about how she had been taken advantage of by the gunmen in the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort. That was why she wanted to be so mysterious. The reason for the meeting was probably to ask me to keep my mouth shut.

I always felt that Mo Yizhi knew exactly what the third lady wanted from me. That was why he was trying his best to cooperate with her. Frankly speaking, I didn’t like the feeling of being played as a fool, so when I left the office of the chairman, I couldn’t help but say to Mo Yizhi, “Chairman, in fact, regarding to what happened to the company this morning, I think that in addition to the Zhang family and the Liu family, there is another person who also has the same motives.”

“Oh? Tell me about it…” Mo Yizhi’s curiosity and seriousness were flawless, but I still noticed that he who used to finish the tea in the cup left half a cup of tea on the table.

“You.”

“Me?” Unexpectedly, Mo Yizhi was not surprised at all. But his unsurprised reaction made me feel even more suspicious.

“Because I am young, it is always easy for me to become impulsive. I have always felt that my personality is very simple and it is not difficult to figure it out. If everyone thinks that the company was smashed by me, then according to my temper, it is likely that I would give up my resignation and choose to stay to face those people who doubt me. I would definitely use actions to tell everyone that I am innocent,” I chuckled sarcastically and said, “just like now, although I know that you are tricking me to stay in the company, I still decided to stay…”

“Mhm, what you said is very reasonable,” Mo Yizhi said with a smile, “in fact, when I heard that you hired someone to smash the company earlier this morning, I couldn’t help but feel very happy. Just like you said, I understand your character and know that it is impossible for you to do something like this. Actually, I really want to thank the real messenger for helping me keep you in Fengchang.”

Mo Yizhi did not directly face my suspicion, but the answer he gave me proved his innocence. But I still didn’t believe this cunning old fox. I always felt that he was playing with me, “so was it really you?”

“In order to keep you, I did use some methods. For example, it was me who pushed Fei’er to be in charge of the cooperation project with the Third Lady in the board meeting last Friday. Because I want to see how much weight Fei’er has in your heart, but…” Mo Yizhi was still unwilling to answer my question directly. Instead, he smiled, “I will not confuse the future of the company with Fei’er’s happiness. My purpose is just to make you stay, as for the cooperation plan of the Third Lady… If you can promise me that you will not deliberately avoid Fei’er in the future, not only will I approve your resignation immediately, but I am also willing to shred the cooperation plan in front of you.”

Mo Yizhi was not kidding! My instinct told me so.

Was it really not him? But his calmness at the moment was really suspicious…

“You don’t have to believe in a businessman, but you shouldn’t doubt a father’s love for his daughter. For me, Fei’er is my daughter and everything to me,” Mo Yizhi said with certainty, “but Little Chu, there is also another thing that you have to keep in mind, and it will help you greatly in the future. Your own status and value in the hearts of others are not important, what is important is not to let others find out what you are truly thinking. This is the only law of survival in this world. This is also the rule I rely on.”

Mo Yizhi said that he didn’t have a higher education, but he seemed to have thoroughly mastered the Thick Black Theory…
