Rebirth of Military Lineage's Thousand Gold

  After Tan Yunning left, Su Moye devoted herself wholeheartedly to her work, and her mind was completely focused on work-related matters. As for Mu Shi, she had also done her best.

  On the Li family's side, as Su Mo thought, no one came to make trouble. The news of Li Qingrong's death had already spread within the company that it was due to his overwork and dedication to his job, which led to his illness and eventual demise. Everyone believed this statement, and the media also received the news. However, regardless of what happened, Li Qingrong was still Mushi's second-largest shareholder and a notable figure in Hong Kong's financial circles. Therefore, regarding his death, Mushi held a press conference to address the situation.

  Such a move has gradually weakened the media voices that speculate about Li Qingrong's death, but there are still some people who do not let go so easily. They have been looking for trouble with Mu Shi one after another, and in the past two days, they have been besieging Huiqin at the company gate. Because Su Moye's identity has not been fully exposed, everyone's attention has not yet focused on her, but rather has made things difficult for Huiqin these past few days. Mu Xinhua is recovering from illness in the hospital and has left all the work of dealing with the media to Huiqin over the past two days.

  On the day of the press conference, Sumo also attended directly.

  All the media waiting at the press conference found a nameplate placed in the middle of the front desk - Sumo Ruo, no one had ever heard of this name, at least for the high-level figures within Mushi, the media were more familiar with it, but the people inside also never heard of anyone named Sumo Ruo.

  But some media have made sensitive guesses about Sumo's identity. After all, at the grand banquet hosted by Muxinhua recently, many of his friends from the business and political circles, as well as high-level employees within the company, were invited. At this banquet, someone revealed that Muxinhua introduced his future successor to everyone.

  After about half an hour of waiting in the media, at 10:00 am, the new press conference officially began.

  When Su Mo Ruo, dressed in a tailored lady's suit, appeared with her slender figure and an icy face that looked too young, everyone couldn't help but take a deep breath. Such a young woman was actually going to be the successor of the Mu family, something that no one could understand, and some people began to question Su Mo Ruo's age.

  At this press conference, Li Qingrong's eldest son also came to the scene in person. His respectful attitude towards Su Mo made her have a good impression of this man in his thirties, who seemed to be relatively calm and stable. But it was unknown whether this person's personality followed that of his father, who had a ruthless inner heart.

  Looking at the high-level executives of Sumo and other companies who had all arrived, the public relations manager began to speak to the media, "Ladies and gentlemen of the media, thank you for taking the time to attend our press conference despite your busy schedules. Today's press conference is mainly about our company's new chairman and second-largest shareholder, Li Qingrong, who passed away due to overwork and heart disease." The image that Mu Corporation presents to the outside world is one of strength, yet absolute respect, humility being their attitude when speaking to the public for the first time. This attitude has received consistent praise from the outside world.

  "First of all, let me introduce to everyone here. I believe that most of you are not familiar with our Chairman Sumoro." The public relations manager directly revealed Sumoro's identity because the nameplate did not clearly indicate her specific position, only placing it in the center, which led to various speculations from the crowd.

  Such an introduction directly caused all the media to explode, and no one had expected that the chairman of Mochi would have been replaced, and Mu Xinhua would have stepped down to make way for a younger person.

  "Ladies and gentlemen of the media, now you can ask questions directly." The PR manager put down the microphone, walked off the stage to one side, and smiled at the various media representatives who had come to the scene.

  "I never thought that the chairman of the Mo family would step down so quickly. She has a significant status in both the business and political circles in Hong Kong, and she has been in charge of the Mo family until her 80s without ever hearing about a successor. Is it because Chairman Mo's body can no longer continue to hold the power of the Mo family?"

  "Chairman Mu didn't have any descendants, so Chairman Su, how did you suddenly get chosen by the old Chairman Mu as the successor of the Mu family?"

  "Director Su, may I ask how old you are this year?"

  "Director Su, after you took office, the company's second-largest shareholder, Director Li Qingrong, suddenly died of a heart attack. Is there any other story behind this?"

  “……”

  One voice covered another in pursuit of questioning, Su Mo sat on the high platform, her face unchanged, facing the media's flashing lights, she seemed calm and quiet, her clear and cold face did not change at all, her eyes were motionless, just looking at the media, without answering any questions.

  The PR manager next to him looked at the situation and his face also looked a bit difficult, he walked up to the host's stage again, picked up the microphone, and said to the media below: "Media friends, you are speaking one after another, how can our chairman answer your questions, and whose question should he answer first?" The tone of voice has already emphasized with a hint of annoyance, and there is no smile on his face. He then continued: "Please ask one by one, so that our chairman can respond to each of you one by one."

  Slowly, one by one, they fell silent.

  On the high platform, Su Mo'er slowly opened her mouth, looking at the crowd of media below expecting a joke from her mouth. She was mocking in her heart, but her face remained still. "So many questions, I'll just answer them randomly, after all, I couldn't remember everyone's too noisy and too fast questions, hehe." Her tone sounded gentle yet absolutely carried her own authority, making it impossible for others to easily interrupt her meaning.

  Her tone made the media below her fall silent, and when they looked at her with their eyes, they also brought a hint of expectation and trepidation. After all, such a tone was rare in media interviews, and the coldness and absolute confidence it conveyed could make people feel that this person was not simple, and they couldn't confuse her age with her IQ.

  "Firstly, I'd like to answer the question from this media friend regarding the matter of Li Director, our company's second-largest shareholder." As he spoke, Su Mo made a hand gesture, and the journalist who had asked the question looked up at him with understanding.

  Regarding Director Li, our company is also deeply saddened. As the new person in charge of Mushi, I am also deeply saddened. Chairman Mu has always trusted Director Li and entrusted him with many important tasks. However, as Director Li grew older, he continued to remember the company's kindness towards him and worked diligently on his post. In recent years, his health had been declining, and when he passed away on my first day at the company, I was deeply saddened.

  Later, Director Li's personal secretary told us that Director Li's health had not been good in recent days, and he had even gone to the hospital for a check-up two days prior. Although this is just hearsay, today, as Director Li's eldest son and his trusted assistant are present, we can hear their account.

  Regarding Director Li's shares, they were given to him by Chairman Mu when Mushi Group was first established in Hong Kong. However, Director Li was a man of integrity and had never accepted the shares, repeatedly stating that he would return them to Chairman Mu after his passing and not leave them to his family members. I believe many of you have heard Director Li say this before, and today, Director Li's eldest son has also spoken about it since he was young.

  The media below were stunned, while Su Mo spoke with great relish.

  Huiqin, who was sitting next to Sumo, couldn't help but lower her head and twitch the corners of her mouth. This girl's mouth, she had to admit, was impressive. In front of so many media outlets, she responded with ease, exuding an air of confidence that came naturally to her. Her tone was stern, showing no fear of the media's scrutiny or how they would write about her. She spoke sharply, without a hint of softness, just like her personality.

  But it has to be said that such an explanation can eliminate many media's ulterior motives.

  At least, the side she shows to the media is strong and absolutely does not tolerate any easy infringement.

  "Alright, I'll answer another question for everyone. It's about Chairman Mu's physical condition." He paused slightly, his eyes scanning the media below.

  One of the media personnel couldn't help but shudder slightly, and her eyes also didn't dare to look directly at Su Mo again, feeling that those eyes were staring at her with venom.

  "Chairman Mu is in good health, but I believe everyone has the right to enjoy their later years. Chairman Mu is already advanced in age and although company matters are important, she has never had any free time in her life. Now it's time for her to enjoy life as well. I believe Chairman Mu has enjoyed much less of life than anyone here, even the elderly... So, I think you shouldn't make a big deal about an old person wanting to enjoy their later years." The tone was stern and his eyes were cold.

  The sudden silence on the scene, pairs of eyes gazing at Su Mo Ruo on stage.

  "Yes, Director Su is very considerate of Director Mu. In his later years, having someone like you who cares for him so much is also a kind of happiness." Some people started to echo in agreement.

  And such a person is probably what is called a wise and capable individual.

  Su Mo's lips curled up slightly, but she didn't reveal a smile.

  At least, she looked a lot more relaxed in front of everyone.

  "Alright, for the rest of the time, you can direct your remaining questions to the person next to me." Su Mo Ruo nodded slightly towards the PR manager beside him and fell silent.

  At this moment, Su Mo was already having a certain impact on the crowd due to what she had just said, as well as her aura and facial expression. As a result, even though she didn't say another word, it was impossible for everyone present to ignore her at this moment.

  The next question, Mr. Li's son answered very appropriately, and Mr. Li's secretary also answered well. Today's press conference, at least from the media side, got an official answer from the Mu side, no matter what the final result is, they don't need to investigate further.

  As for the official statement given to the media by Secretary Li, Su Mo laughed mockingly in her heart, talking about left and right hands, talking about absolute loyalty. In the face of real interests, true loyalty is not even worth a fart.

  How could a large enterprise like the Mu Corporation possibly tolerate the exposure of news that would kill its directors? So, even if this person doesn't cooperate, the final result won't be death, but will lose half his life. Therefore, matters of life and death or fate related to one's future are all in their hands, at their mercy. Truly intelligent people will choose a path that betrays their former masters.

  After the press conference, Sumo returned directly to the chairman's office. Not long after, Huiqin knocked on the door of Sumo's office and led in Li Minghui, the son of Director Li: "Chairman, Director Li's son wants to have a private talk with you."

  "Uh, close the door and go make a cup of tea for Mr. Li. Mr. Li doesn't seem to be interested in coffee." Su Mo said without turning her head, instructing Huiqin who was standing by the bookshelf.

  Huiqin listened and nodded slightly with a smile that hinted at amusement, "I'll go now." After finishing speaking, she turned around and left, closing the door behind her.

  "I didn't expect Chairman Su to know that I prefer tea over coffee." Li Minghui's eyes flickered slightly as he smiled and walked over to sit down on the sofa, his movements natural and not at all awkward.

  "Heh, if you didn't even know that much, then Li Shao probably wouldn't have come to this press conference today either." Tou's head didn't turn back around, his tone neither light nor heavy, but just right for Li Minghui to hear clearly.

  "Chairman Mu indeed has a keen eye for talent, selecting an excellent successor like you." At such a young age, he is already skilled at understanding people's hearts, truly not an ordinary person. In fact, coming to this press conference today, he had no interest in the Mu family's shares. His father's teachings and reminders over the years, though seemingly sincere on the surface, were actually only half-remembered by him, with his mouth agreeing but his heart always being half-truthful. After all, he was proud, having been blinded by his father's hypocritical side since childhood, and had strived to become stronger, with abilities that were not ordinary. His current achievements were also remarkable, making a name for himself in Hong Kong's business circle. The Mu family's shares had never been something he wanted to fight for, but facing Su Mo Ruo, a girl under twenty years old, he showed particular interest, which led to today's meeting at his office.

  "Today's events, Li Shao was able to make it to the press conference to defend the company, thank you." Su Mo Ruo still lowered her head and flipped through the materials in her hand.

  "Hehe, Chairman Su, you're being too polite. However, for me, the word 'excuse' doesn't seem to apply to myself." Li Minghui gazed at Su Moruo with a hint of a smile, his interest piqued even further.

  "Li Shao is a clever person, specifically what kind of person your father was, how Mu Shi treated him and the Li family, I believe that after living for over 30 years, Li Shao should understand who is unkind and who is unjust. Justice lies in people's hearts. Huiqin and her grandmother also often mentioned to me that Li Shao said that originally they wanted you to join the company too, but it was your father, Director Li, who strongly opposed it, which led to you starting your own business outside, causing the company to lose such a talented person like you..."

  "Hehe, Chairman Su, you're overpraising me." Although he may not necessarily like to hear flattering words, these were spoken by none other than the current Mu Corporation's Chairman, Su Mo. He couldn't help but feel a little pleased in his heart.

  "But as for my father, I don't want to mention it again. The care that the Mu family has given us Li family over the years is clear to me. My siblings and I have also achieved some success outside, which cannot be separated from the reputation of the Mu family and their occasional help. Therefore... this press conference, I will attend. We are not ungrateful or unrighteous people."

  "It's still Li Shaoren's style." He slightly raised an eyebrow, put down the things in his hand and looked up at Li Minghui, who indeed looked more pleasing to the eye than his father's hypocritical appearance.

  At this time, Huiqin personally brought a cup of tea and handed it to Li Minghui who had just walked in.

  For Huiqin, this Mo Shi who followed Mo Xinhua's secretary and was also the third largest shareholder of Mo Shi, Li Minghui admired from the bottom of his heart. Moreover, when his father was alive, he was very close to Huiqin, so Li Minghui's relationship with Huiqin was also very good. He hastily took over the teacup and thanked her with a smile.

  "Chairman, we aren't exaggerating, are we? Li Shao's abilities and character are indeed not bad." After handing the tea cup to Li Minghui, Huiqin smiled and looked at Su Moruo.

  Listening to Huiqin's words, Sumo Rou smiled slightly, "That's right, at least people who like tea have a very calm temperament, and the choice between tea and coffee is quite correct."

  Digression

  Alas, I don't even have 6,000 words yet, sorry to those who are waiting for updates.
