Chapter 1897: Chapter 1490: Setting Out for Inspection
That night, before bed, Mo Chengju paid Bai Xiaosheng another “visit,” personally bringing fine calligraphy tools and a family rule booklet.
He ca to ask Bai Xiaosheng to help write the Mo Family’s main family rule chapter. The chapter’s content was not much, just a few hundred words.
Bai Xiaosheng agreed and started writing imdiately.
Mo Chengju stood by, watching, and praised him continuously.
After finishing, Bai Xiaosheng casually asked, “Mr. Chengju, today at the family banquet you openly ssed with Mo ZiYun, didn’t Old Mr. Mo punish you this ti?”
Mo Chengju laughed at this and pointed at the calligraphy Bai Xiaosheng wrote, “Punishnt? Of course! Isn’t this it?”
Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback by these words.
“Is this a punishnt for you or for ?” Bai Xiaosheng felt amused and helpless at once.
“I should be thanking you. The old man likes your excellent handwriting, so I’m exempted as well.” Mo Chengju cheerfully carried the items away and didn’t forget to tell Bai Xiaosheng, “Get so rest early. If it’s convenient, let’s go together in the morning. You can visit my place.”
Bai Xiaosheng was more than happy about this.
After Mo Chengju left, Bai Xiaosheng washed up simply and went to sleep.
Elsewhere, Mo Chengju brought the items to the old Mr. Mo, who was naturally very happy to see them, and reminded Mo Chengju not to forget to befriend Bai Xiaosheng to maintain contact, so in the future, they could ask for more calligraphy…
Having such a friend, who could exchange good handwriting for exemption, naturally made Mo Chengju willing to keep in touch, not needing the old man’s urging.
Additionally, the old Mr. Mo also ntioned that Bai Xiaosheng had profound knowledge in Chinese dicine. Although he knew the prescription himself, it was sothing that could not be known without so familial ties.
Old Mr. Mo specifically instructed Mo Chengju to get along with Mo Ziyue and Bai Xiaosheng, to beco familiar with him and understand his family background, to see if they could promote good relations between the two families.
To this, Mo Chengju agreed as well.
That night, Bai Xiaosheng slept soundly and peacefully.
Old Mr. Mo Haichuan received a masterpiece, was very happy, and went to bed an hour late.
In the whole Mo Family, the unluckiest was Mo ZiYun.
Even though Bai Xiaosheng had given him a prescription for recuperation, preventing any lingering health issues.
Mo ZiYun had diarrhea in the first half of the night and vomited in the second half, thoroughly suffering the whole night.
Mo Chengyuan and his wife were heartbroken and secretly cursed Bai Xiaosheng and Mo Chengju, not even sparing Mo Ziyue. Of course, that did nothing to alleviate their son’s misery. After cursing others, the couple nagged their son to avoid provoking Mo Chengju and best stay far away from Mo Ziyue to avoid trouble.
In short, this night was quite restless for their family.
The next morning, Mo Chengju ca to Bai Xiaosheng, even had people bring breakfast for them to eat together.
“Ziyue left before dawn, saying there was an ergency patient at the hospital that needed his attention.” Mo Chengju casually ntioned about Mo Ziyue.
Bai Xiaosheng nodded in understanding.
Doctors are like parents, whether in traditional Chinese or Western dicine, any conscientious doctor is the sa—when sothing cos up, the patient is paramount.
After breakfast, Mo Chengju wiped his hands and said directly to Bai Xiaosheng, “If there’s nothing else, let’s grab our things and go to my company together.”
Mo Chengju learned from Mo Ziyue that Bai Xiaosheng was leaving today, so he thought of having them pack up and after a tour, he’d drive them to the station.
Leaving now?
“Mr. Chengju, is your company far from here?” Bai Xiaosheng asked.
“Not far, just over an hour by car.” Mo Chengju replied, seeing Bai Xiaosheng’s confusion, he laughed, “I’m just afraid our old man will co ask for more calligraphy. It’s better to leave early.”
So that’s it.
Bai Xiaosheng also laughed.
Who knows a father better than his son, it seems Mo Chengju really understands his father well.
Bai Xiaosheng and his group picked up their things and left with Mo Chengju.
Half an hour after they left, old Mr. Mo called.
“Mo Chengju! You scoundrel, you took the guests away!” The old man seed quite angry over the phone, “I haven’t even had a proper exchange about calligraphy with that Bai kid.”
“Next ti, next ti. We really have business this ti.” Mo Chengju brushed it off over the phone.
After hanging up, Mo Chengju let out a sigh and turned to smile helplessly at Bai Xiaosheng, “The old man loves dicine and calligraphy the most, but compared to the forr, he hasn’t progressed much with the latter. I think he just doesn’t have the talent, and I’m afraid you’d get annoyed.”
Bai Xiaosheng smiled, “Not at all.”
“Still, better to leave soon.” Mo Chengju muttered while driving, looking ahead.
That old man’s face is thin, if he wants more calligraphy, he still has to ask Bai Xiaosheng.
Asking once or twice is fine, but too many tis, he would want to save face too…
These thoughts, Mo Chengju didn’t say out loud.
Besides, Mo Chengju was eager to have Bai Xiaosheng visit their company and wanted to glean insights into the European elite research team from him.
He believed that knowing so information would be imnsely beneficial.
While driving, Bai Xiaosheng engaged in conversation with Mo Chengju, ensuring it didn’t affect his driving.
Since last night, Bai Xiaosheng had been inquiring about many things indirectly.
Firstly, Mo Chengju felt regretful and helpless over the boss stopping so of their research, to the point of expressing dissatisfaction.
Mo Chengju said that the current research must be accelerated, or they might face the risk of more terminations.
It’s likely due to this that Mo Chengju was eager to have him visit the company to find out about the research direction from Lai Yin.
Bai Xiaosheng had long seen through Mo Chengju’s intentions.
Moreover, Bai Xiaosheng learned that Mo Chengju’s boss had his own son “help” at the company.
The young director obviously misunderstood “help” as “take over.” Mo Chengju’s many decisions had to be consulted, and recently it had been excessive; to assert his presence and “authority,” the young director had openly opposed Mo Chengju’s decisions multiple tis. This put Mo Chengju in a tough spot and caused complaints within the company. After all, the little young master giving erratic orders was truly a headache.
Not only that, should problems arise, the young director would publicly scold or even insult, attributing mistakes to others, deducting bonuses and salaries at will without any set rules. Perhaps in his view, this was just a power ga and the company was their family’s domain, with everyone else’s fate in his hands.
Mo Chengju expressed frustration, noting that several elite talents he painstakingly recruited had to resign, causing so disturbance even in the core managent.
Thankfully, the young master hadn’t ddled in research yet.
This was one reason why Mo Chengju was eager to achieve results in research, lest the young “master” get involved and cause trouble.
With both the boss and his son causing him distress, even soone like Mo Chengju, who rarely complains, couldn’t help venting to Bai Xiaosheng, even jokingly saying that maybe one day the young master might fire him.
However, Mo Chengju remained optimistic, believing that even if the young director fired him, the boss wouldn’t let him go.
After all, he had been a pillar of the company, serving faithfully from its inception for ten years!
Ten years! A lifeti only has so many ten years!
Bai Xiaosheng found Mo Chengju’s “optimism” quite naive and had a contrary view.
Mo Chengju’s boss had long sent his son to the company. He must know what his son is like yet allowed him to cause chaos without restraint.
Most likely, it’s a sign—
The boss wants his son to boldly demonstrate that he is the future master!
The one who will eventually control the company.
And as for Mo Chengju, he is ultimately an outsider, an employee, destined to leave!
When the cunning hare is dead, the hunting dog is cooked. When all the birds are shot, the bow is put away. Throughout history, hasn’t there always been a tendency to discard the donkey after it’s done its work?
For his son to smoothly take over the company and manage the heritage, a decade of sentint and recognition as a key minister ans nothing.
It’s just that people caught in the situation fail to see clearly or refuse to believe, always thinking it won’t co to that.
Mo Chengju is just like that.
Actually, Bai Xiaosheng was quite pleased. He had been worried that Mo Chengju couldn’t be swayed, but with the help of Mo Chengju’s boss and son, he felt blessed by heaven!
While Bai Xiaosheng was chatting with Mo Chengju, suddenly Mo Chengju gestured forward, saying, “There we are, look, that’s our company!”
Bai Xiaosheng followed Mo Chengju’s indication and looked through the front window.
A sprawling campus ca into view, giving a grand impression, and at the entrance, the na of the company was emblazoned—Cangyun Pharmaceuticals!
