Chapter 156: No One Left in the Mo Clan (4)

Mo Lan secretly laughed from the side. Since Qian Yin intended to borrow her identity, she naturally had no objections. After all, everything belonging to the two sisters was shared between them. Besides, she wanted to know whether anyone would truly ignore her, the eldest young lady of the family, if no one recognized her.

The man calling himself Shareholder Wang had gone completely pale. He stood there in a daze, his fingers pointing wildly at the two women, unable to utter a single word. For more than ten minutes, he remained frozen in place, his thoughts in utter chaos.

Two older men approached from behind. Seeing Shareholder Wang trembling all over, they immediately stepped forward and gave him a pat on the shoulder. Only then did they notice the two strikingly beautiful women standing before them.

Both old men frowned. This was the company’s most important area, and ordinary people were never allowed inside. So who were these two?

Mo Lan and Qian Yin looked the two old men up and down before glancing around at the nearby premises. The place was far larger than an ordinary office, and the cleaning was thorough. There were simply fewer people around. The interior design was quite pleasant as well.

When the two old men saw that the women were ignoring them, their pride was wounded. Angrily, they demanded, “Who are you? How did you get in here?”

Only after hearing their voices did Shareholder Wang come back to himself. He immediately looked at the two elders and reminded them in a low voice, “These two are the eldest young ladies of the Mo family.”

“Nonsense! The Mo family has only one eldest young lady. Who exactly are you two, and how dare you impersonate the Mo family’s heir here?” One of the elders found it impossible to believe. He had always been on good terms with Old Master Mo and knew quite a bit about the family’s affairs.

Qian Yin smiled faintly. So there were still some sharp old men among them. Not every elder was foolish. This would make the battle much harder. They might even be forced to concede in the end. These old men were far too cunning.

“You must be Grandfather Guan. I’ve heard my grandfather mention you.” Mo Lan respectfully bowed to the two men, then spoke to them in a gentle and obedient manner. Her eyes were filled with docility, giving the impression that she was an exceptionally well-behaved girl.

Since the girl knew his name and addressed him as Grandfather Guan, the elder finally took a proper look at Mo Lan. He had assumed Qian Yin was the Mo family’s eldest young lady, and had deliberately said those things to test her. He had never expected this girl to be the real one. Why did she possess none of the Mo family’s imposing presence?

Elder Guan frowned and angrily said, “Miss Mo Lan, don’t you know that you’re not allowed to bring outsiders into the company? You don’t even understand such basic rules. It seems the rumors are true—you’ve always paid no attention whatsoever to the company’s affairs.”

“Elder, I’m afraid you don’t know that our Mo Lan is a police officer. She’ll soon be reporting to the senior police headquarters. Let me introduce myself. After that, you can introduce yourselves. I don’t intend to repeat myself. My name is Qian Yin, and I’m Old Master Mo’s god-granddaughter. That means I also have a share in the company.”

Qian Yin’s sharp tongue was no mere ornament. Anyone who wanted to compete with her would need several more years of practice.

Mo Lan privately gave Qian Yin a thumbs-up. Bringing her to the company had indeed been the right decision. Her eloquence was something Mo Lan could never match, even with several more years of training.

The expressions of the two elders and Shareholder Wang changed drastically. None of them spoke. They simply sat there, thinking hard about what to do next. This woman named Qian Yin had an impressive way with words, and her powers of observation were formidable as well. It seemed the three of them were no match for her.

“Shareholder Wang, why are you still standing there? Go arrange the meeting. Do you expect us to wait here?” Qian Yin walked over to the seat of honor and sat down, then looked at the others.

Mo Lan sat in the first seat on the right and quietly observed everyone, leaving Qian Yin to handle matters while she learned how to manage the company. If her grandfather truly failed to regain consciousness, and if the company was not sold, she would probably have to devote some effort to running it herself. That was merely the worst-case scenario. She believed her grandfather would certainly wake up.

“Yes, I’ll go and have the manager arrange it at once.” Shareholder Wang hurried away. This young woman named Qian Yin had an exceptionally powerful presence—she even overwhelmed him. He was a cunning man himself, but when faced with someone more cunning than he was, he found himself unable to cope.

The two elders took seats on the right and waited, occasionally studying the two young women. They were young, yet clearly capable. If the women had truly come for the good of the company, the elders might even have admitted that they were rare talents worth retaining. But that was not the case. They had no intention of allowing outsiders to interfere in the affairs of the Mo family.

Over the past few years, Old Master Mo had not managed the company particularly well. In many areas, he had allowed these elders to lead him by the nose. Now that his daughter was preparing to take over, many matters would have to be reorganized. They would soon discover whether she intended to reclaim the territory that had gradually been eroded from the Mo family.

When Old Master Mo had been in charge, everything had been handled properly, and these elders had not dared to behave so recklessly. But each generation seemed weaker than the last. They had never expected this generation to produce such a formidable opponent.

Shareholder Wang was no pushover either. The moment he left, he thoroughly investigated the strengths and weaknesses of both women. But when he searched for Qian Yin’s information, his expression changed dramatically. Either there was nothing to be found, or the company’s computers were hacked. She was an extraordinary figure.

With no alternative, he had to terminate the investigation.

There were only a few minutes left before the meeting. He summoned all the shareholders and elders and gave them a rough explanation. In essence, he told them that Qian Yin was an outsider, while Miss Mo Lan was the legitimate eldest young lady of the family.

Some of the shareholders and elders were thrown into confusion. They stormed into the room in a fury, pushing through the door without knocking, then dropped into their seats. Seeing their appearance, Qian Yin wondered what had happened. Had they suffered some loss elsewhere and returned intending to vent their anger on the two of them? They clearly had no idea who they were dealing with.

Shareholder Wang took a seat in the very last row and quietly watched the coming storm. In the end, he was nothing more than a fence-sitter who bullied others by relying on whoever held the greater power. He stood only with the side that benefited him; the other side was destined to be abandoned.

“I don’t think we need to introduce ourselves at length. You should already know who we are.” Qian Yin was still the first to speak. Whatever Mo Lan wanted, Qian Yin was determined to help her obtain it, no matter how difficult it might be.

“You’re nothing but a future illegitimate daughter. What nonsense are you talking about?” One elderly shareholder who had a reputation for stirring up trouble immediately rose to his feet and pointed a finger at Qian Yin’s head. His expression was perfectly exaggerated, even his bulging eyes radiating fury. Anyone who did not know better might truly have believed that he cared deeply about the company.

Mo Lan and Qian Yin could not hold it in any longer and burst out laughing. Who had investigated the matter and claimed she was an illegitimate daughter? Or was someone spreading malicious rumors? To invent such a story was truly impressive. One day, Mo Lan would have to investigate exactly how this man had fabricated it. She might even make him write Qian Yin’s life story and see whether he could finish it.

“What are you laughing at? Is this a place for laughter? If it’s really that amusing, go outside, finish laughing, and then come back for the meeting.” Another elder rose to his feet and slammed the table. His movements were almost identical to those of the first man, though his voice was even louder.

Mo Lan and Qian Yin struggled to suppress their laughter and fixed sharp gazes on the two standing elders. Then they looked over the others seated in the room. Several had timid expressions; they were probably people Old Master Mo himself had left behind.
