Chapter 112: Waiting for a Joke, Inspection

  The Hong Kong business community is paying close attention to the Mou family group after its former leader, Mou Xinhua, stepped down and was succeeded by a young girl under the age of 20. Everyone's eyes are on the current leader, Su Moruo, waiting for her to make a mistake so they can mock her.

  However, there are also some people who take an observational attitude towards Su Mo. After all, they have always been respectful of Mu Xinhua, or perhaps they have been old friends with Mu Xinhua for many years. They naturally believe in Mu Xinhua's vision and absolutely do not think that he would find a mediocre person to manage the Mu Corporation, disregarding the life and death of the corporation.

  So, the Hong Kong business community has been eagerly waiting for the past month to see the true abilities of the head of the Murdoch group. If they don't make a fool of themselves and create a joke, then they will definitely do a good job. There was a press conference about Li Qiang's death earlier, which everyone still remembers vividly, so people are speculating about what will happen next.

  The activities carried out by the Mo's shopping mall during the Golden Week of Shopping are large-scale events held every half year, especially for their WIP and VIP exclusive members, with countless attractive discounts, so everyone's attention naturally shifted to this.

  In the past, Mr. Mo's activities were very successful, but those were all during Mu Xinhua's tenure. As a true helmsman or to establish prestige, he should have proposed more favorable or innovative plans than before to boost sales during the promotional period.

  ……

  "If you're too tired, take a rest. Company matters can't be sorted out all at once." She had been in this position for most of her life and knew how tough it was to sit here. Many people talked about the vast wealth of the Mu family, but few knew that as the chairman of the Mu group, despite being rich enough to rival a country, she hardly spent any money on herself. In fact, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to consume or enjoy her wealth.

  Su Mo Ruo is still so young, she never hopes that she will be so tired, at a young age, with more time, should be spared to enjoy herself and have fun.

  On the chair in the dining room, Su Mo put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand, wiped her mouth with a napkin on the side of the table, and looked up at Mu Xinhua, whose face had been rosy for the past few years. "I know, Grandma's complexion looks great lately, it seems that she really needs to rest well."

  "You're still young, don't overwork yourself and end up collapsing... I had hoped you could take over the Mu Corporation because I knew your abilities, but I also know you have your own career. You've been focusing on the Mu Corporation lately, haven't you neglected your own affairs?" Mu Xinhua asked tentatively, looking at Su Moruo sitting upright in front of her.

  Su Mo slightly shook her head, "I've already instructed the people below, generally nothing big will happen." Even if something big happens, there's no way to deal with it, the financial industry is inherently unpredictable.

  "Hope nothing goes wrong." Hearing Su Mo's words, Mu Xinhua finally put her mind at ease. Recently, the company's affairs were also known to Mu Xinhua, except for Huiqin's daily reports, Su Mo would also tell her about some company matters after she returned. As for Li Qingrong's affair, Mu Xinhua was more heartbroken. She had trusted him so much, but he had such deep thoughts and had been hiding his wolf-like ambition for half a lifetime, until she was about to enter the yellow earth (die). If it weren't for Su Mo's existence, would his wolf-like ambition have succeeded? Thinking of this, she mocked herself, actually, she should feel lucky. This loyal subordinate had indeed been loyal to her for a lifetime, but only began to reveal his wolf-like ambition when she was about to enter the earth (die).

  "Grandma, I'm going to the company now. Aunt Huiqin will have to borrow me for a few more days. On your side, only the nanny and caregiver can accompany you." Su Moruo left the dinner table and walked in front of Mu Xinhua, who was sitting in a wheelchair. Because of her tall stature, she slightly squatted down and spoke softly to Mu Xinhua.

  "I'm not a kid anymore, I know how to take care of myself, you go to the company... remember not to overwork yourself, official business can't be finished in one day." Looking at Su Mo's back as she walked out of the villa, Mu Xinhua couldn't help but mutter to herself. At such a young age, yet so capable and holding a high position, was this sadness or happiness?

  For the rest of the month, Sumo spent most of his time understanding the internal structure of Mochi and handling official duties. Although it was only a short month, the massive internal affairs of the Mochi Group still made Sumo work overtime to understand thoroughly, leaving Huiqin in awe.

  But she didn't know Su Mo's true intentions, because she still had other things to do and would continue her studies later, so it was impossible for Mu to stay here for two months like this time. In the future, she would come over for just a few days or a week at most, and most of the time she had to operate remotely, so she naturally had to understand internal affairs thoroughly.

  "Chairman, today at 10 am is the day to inspect our shopping mall." Today is one week after the official launch of the Golden Week activity in the mall. With the daily sales figures rising every day and the income numbers reported to her getting bigger and bigger, even she herself couldn't believe her eyes. This method actually boosted the mall's sales so quickly, and it was also because of this activity that changed everyone's questioning attitude towards the content of this event.

  Looking at Huiqin's face, which was flushed with excitement, I knew it must be because the recent surge in sales at the mall had made her very excited. I couldn't help but think that a middle-aged woman who was almost fifty years old still had moments of excitement like a child.

  "Alright, I'll leave as soon as I finish processing the last document on my end." Sumo Ruo buried his head in the pile of documents and responded faintly without lifting his head.

  "Alright, Chairman. I'll go and get everything ready." He said, then backed out and glanced at his watch. It was already 9 o'clock. The people downstairs would only need five minutes to get ready. From here to the shopping mall under their company that they were going to inspect today, it would take about 40 minutes by car. Adding in the time spent on traffic lights and congestion, the timing should be just right.

  At 9:10, Sumojo had already left the Mochizuki Building and arrived at the parking lot outside. Three cars were parked there waiting for her arrival. Kei followed behind her, and just as they were about to reach the three cars, Kei took two steps ahead and opened the rear door of a black Bentley. "Please, Chairman."

  As for Huiqin's actions, Sumo didn't say anything in front of everyone, but when they got on the car and Huiqin sat in the passenger seat, he casually mentioned to her, "Huiqin, from now on you don't have to open the car door for me. You are always Grandma's secretary and the company's third largest shareholder. It has been a lot of trouble for you to take care of the handover of company matters for me during this period, thank you for your hard work."

  "Chairman, what are you talking about? Everything I have is given to me by the old chairman and Mr. Mu. What I'm doing is just my duty. If you think it's not good, then I won't do it anymore. However, I still hope you can let me continue to be your secretary." Huaiqin listened to Su Mo's words and couldn't help but feel moved. As the company's third-largest shareholder, she had become the second-largest shareholder due to Li Qingrong's incident. In front of outsiders, she was like a prime minister in ancient times, with everyone below her. She understood that Su Mo's words were meant for her own good, but while she felt moved, she also knew what her main job was and that when she left the company, she would return the shares to Mr. Mu rather than selling them or giving them to other friends.

  At 10:00 sharp, a black Bentley and two black Mercedes-Benz cars stopped in the parking lot of the shopping mall that Mr. Mu was inspecting today.

  High-level personnel from the mall were already waiting in the parking lot, and when they saw the three cars stop, they rushed towards the car where Su Mo was sitting.

  Huiqin walked to the rear car door and opened it for Sumo, this action had become a habit for her, and she was not used to changing it for a while. Sumo looked at her but didn't say anything and got out of the back seat.

  "Chairman—"

  The first business executive was someone who had met briefly before, at the celebration banquet for Mu Xinhua and the introduction of Su Mochou as his successor. The guests invited were all big shots from the business and political worlds, as well as high-level executives from within the Mu Corporation itself. This particular executive had been in charge of planning the flow of events for that evening's banquet, which was why he had been lucky enough to attend. However, even on that night, this executive hadn't gotten a good look at Su Mochou's face, and now, seeing him up close again, still couldn't believe his eyes - how could someone so young be the chairman of the board? And the Mu Corporation was no ordinary company, either.

  No matter how much disbelief there was in their hearts, on the surface they still had to believe, and the uniform shouts filled the entire parking lot.

  "No need for such a big fuss, just leave two people to stay with us and the rest can return to their posts." Su Mo's eyebrows furrowed slightly at this thunderous shout.

  "Alright, Chairman, I'll arrange it right away." The man in a white dress shirt with a tie and black leather shoes, who looked like he held a high position, replied respectfully to Su Mo Ruo before quickly gesturing for an employee to follow him and then calling out to the others to leave.
