I want to have a normal campus romance

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, I didn’t understand why he was telling me about his company’s affairs. I’m not a member of his company, so what’s the point of introducing these to me?

Mr. Xu and I are not the same kind of people at all. It can be said that we will never meet again in the future. After all, there is nothing good to talk about between him and me.

"Remember I told you that although I am the chairman of the group, my most important job is to maintain a balance among all parties. There are many things that I cannot control, right?"

"Ah."

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, I nodded. He said these words to me when we first met in the school conference room, and I still remember them very clearly.

"As the chairman... and the largest shareholder in the company, I have great power, but... exercising power has consequences. The company is not my private property. Everyone has their own intentions and ideas. If you fail to suppress the subsequent impact, the company's interests will be damaged. In the domestic market, if you show the slightest flaw, you will be suppressed and your market will be eroded by competitors."

Mo Fushan tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, but his expression was full of fatigue, as if he had aged several years in an instant. He sighed deeply and then leaned back in his seat.

"If we want to survive in a highly competitive market, we must maintain relative unity within the company. To achieve unity, we must balance the interests of all parties and make certain compromises. Those who need to compromise include not only others, but also me, who all need to make concessions."

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, although I didn't quite understand the twists and turns here, I could understand it a little bit. It's just...he told me so much and laid so much groundwork. What exactly did he want to say?

Could it be...

"Mr. Xu made a proposal to me. He wanted to bring his son Xu Shang and Xiao Han together, and even asked me about the engagement in a veiled way."

After I heard what Mo Fushan said, my mind went blank for a moment, and at the same time... I recalled the guess that I had in my heart when I was at the Jinhai Hotel.

A marriage of intermingling and exchange of interests.

Is this the compromise that Mo Fushan mentioned?

But if that's the case, then why -

"You didn't accept Mr. Xu's proposal?"

Judging from Mo Fushan’s attitude just now, and President Xu’s words just now emphasizing that Mo Fushan should think about it carefully, he did not accept President Xu’s proposal, but if that is really the case.

What exactly is the compromise he is talking about?

"Of course, I didn't accept it because..."

When Mo Fushan said this, he immediately turned to look at me, with an extremely serious and earnest look in his eyes, staring at me straight as if examining me.

"I want to hear your thoughts."

Chapter 237 Adventure

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, I was stunned for a moment. For a moment, I even thought I had misheard him.

He said he wanted to hear my thoughts?

Could it be that I didn't understand what he meant, but could there be any other meaning to this?

Maybe he sent Mo Yuhan away just to discuss this matter? After all, judging from the state of this girl just now, she should not know about Mr. Xu's proposal, and Mo Fushan was deliberately avoiding this question in front of her.

"Just say whatever you want to say. There are only you and me here."

Mo Fushan spoke to me very casually, but his expression made it hard to guess what he was thinking. I swallowed and finally said what was in my mind.

“Do my thoughts or opinions matter?”

"As of now, your thoughts are an important basis for me to consider this matter."

Mo Fushan spoke to me very calmly, which made me suddenly a little nervous. I wanted to use various reasons to seriously express my ideas in a well-founded manner, but after taking a look at Mo Fushan's scrutinizing eyes, I put away my thoughts.

"In fact, if I were to choose, I would definitely reject Mr. Xu's proposal. After all, as you can see, Xu Shang is just a playboy and not someone worthy of trust. Moreover, Mr. Xu is a strong person, so it is inevitable that some accidents will happen later. But..."

Having said that, I looked at Mo Fushan who was sitting next to me. I saw that there was no change on his face after hearing what I said. He just raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard me say "but".

"But my thoughts are my thoughts after all, and I don't intend to impose my thoughts on anyone, so I think we should listen more to Yu Han's own thoughts."

I let out a long sigh of relief after I finished speaking. The first half of the sentence expressed my position, and the second half expressed my thoughts. But no matter what, opinions are just opinions, and the real decision maker is still Mo Fushan.

After hearing what I said, the calm expression on his face gradually faded away, and he looked at me with a half-smile, which made me unable to figure out for a moment whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied with what I said.

"You are quite straightforward."

"I never tell lies."

After he heard what I said, his frown slowly relaxed, as if he had heard something interesting.

"Your idea...is the same as what I said to President Xu. To be honest...if I could, I would like to reject his proposal outright. However, for the sake of the group, this would push him to the opposite side of me and disrupt the balance of the group."

"So you didn't accept it, but you didn't reject it either?"

"Well, what I'm saying is that this kind of thing should be left to the children to choose for themselves. Although this is already a very tactful refusal, Mr. Xu does not intend to let go of this idea."

After I heard what Mo Fushan said, I knew there was something else behind his words. After hearing Mo Fushan's tactful refusal, Mr. Xu still did not give up his plan. In fact, from what he saw just now, he even seemed to be pressing forward step by step.

I knew that there must be some business confrontation involved here, but Mo Fushan didn't say anything and I didn't plan to ask. After all, the more you know about some things, the more dangerous it becomes.

Compared to these things that have nothing to do with my life, I am more concerned about why he told me so much and even disclosed the internal affairs of his company to me.

Just as I was thinking about this, Mo Fushan suddenly asked me:

"I hope you can do me a favor, um...it's a personal request."

"Ah? Help?"

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, I was stunned for a moment, because I couldn't think of any way I could help a big shot like Mo Fushan.

Can't he ask me to tutor his daughter?

"Well, I hope...you can maintain your current relationship with Xiaohan for the time being."

"Maintain the current relationship?"

After I heard what Mo Fushan said, I was stunned. I didn't quite understand what he meant. He then said to me slowly and silently:

"You don't think I don't know anything, do you? In fact, I'm also very curious. When you ordered the food, you not only ordered wine, but also ordered what Xiaohan wanted to eat."

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, I felt like I was in an ice cave. Even though he didn't put any pressure on me, I still had the illusion of being unable to breathe.

How did Mo Fushan know? Did Uncle Chen tell him? Impossible... There is not enough time. Could it be...

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that the waiter in the suite had been replaced once, which means... that waiter may have explained everything. This also seems to explain why the later waiter was so nervous.

But in this case, wouldn't it be -

Thinking of this, I suddenly didn't dare to think about it any further. Although I knew that Mo Fushan would know about this matter sooner or later, I never expected that Mo Fushan would mention it under such circumstances.

But why did Mofushan ask me to maintain this relationship?

Before I could react, he continued:

"You're not really asking me to be your tutor, are you? If that's the case, why would such a small decision be opposed by so many people in the group? They haven't been able to get involved in such matters yet."

Thinking of this, I immediately recalled the tutor recruitment situation that day. Many of the applicants were young people around 20 years old.

"Then why me? You should have a better plan, right?"

I don't believe I am the only choice. In fact, in the eyes of businessmen, nothing is irreplaceable. I believe...if I am not there, Mofushan can find a better substitute than me.

I am just an ordinary college student. Maybe I have some abilities. But if I were put on the stage where Mo Fushan is, many of my abilities would not be put on the table, because there are probably too many people who are more capable than me to count.

When Mo Fushan heard this, he couldn't help but smile softly, tapping the steering wheel with his fingers, turning his head slowly, looking straight at the scenery outside the car window, and smiled and told me a little story:

"In the story, there is always a knight who protects the princess. In fact... the knight's ability is not the most important thing. What is important is that the knight has a heart to protect the princess. Ability can be cultivated, but a person's quality is innate."

"But....."

Mo Fushan interrupted me here, then gently turned the car key and started the engine.

"You are a smart person, but being too smart is not necessarily a good thing. Excessive introspection will make people confused and unable to make decisions. Rational approach is only effective when making small decisions. As for things that change your life... you have to take risks."

Chapter 238 Past Poems

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, I was stunned for a while, thinking about what he meant by this sentence, and at the same time I was curious about why he told me these...the teachings from the elders to the younger ones.

Seeing that I didn't reply, Mo Fushan didn't urge me or say anything. He just looked out the window quietly. I don't know if he was giving me time to think or if he was also thinking about something.

"I have high hopes for you, and Xiaohan has a good relationship with you, so I'm going to let you do this. I really don't want to see everything I've worked so hard for my whole life being taken away by others. I hope you can understand."

I don't know what he meant by "everything cultivated", but my intuition told him that everything he said might not only refer to the company. But compared to these, I care more about...

Mo Fushan actually thinks highly of me?

"You will be happy when Xiaohan is happy, and you will be distressed when she is distressed. You will subconsciously protect her. This makes me feel half relieved."

Mo Fushan seemed to see the expression on my face and spoke to me calmly, but although his words were very plain, they stirred up a storm in my heart.

How did Mo Fushan know this? Could it be that he knew it a long time ago but never said it? And why did he say that he was half relieved? What was the other half?

I kept asking all kinds of questions in my mind. Before I could even sort out my thoughts, Mo Fushan said to me with some emotion and fatigue:

"I'll leave Xiaohan to you for the time being."

"temporary?!"

Perhaps it was because my thoughts were still on what had just happened, or perhaps it was because the series of surprises made it difficult for my brain to process. After hearing what Mo Fushan said, I could hardly suppress my surprise, and the thoughts in my mind almost blurted out.

It's over, what on earth am I talking about! If I say something like this at this time, won't people misunderstand that I have ulterior motives?

"Haha, should I say you are brave or arrogant?"

Mo Fushan chuckled twice, and I suddenly felt a pressure on me, but this pressure went away quickly, and soon the mountain-like momentum slowly dissipated.

"It's temporary at the moment, as for the future... it remains to be seen."

"..."

I didn’t know what to say at the moment, or it would be best not to speak at the moment, until Mo Fushan seemed to remember something and raised his wrist to look at his watch.

When I saw this, I naturally understood that this was a euphemistic way of leaving, so I didn't delay and after making up an excuse, I pushed the door and prepared to leave.

But just as I was about to turn around and close the car door, I heard Mo Fushan turn his head and slowly say to me:

"When this is over, come and play often when you have time."

After hearing what Mo Fushan said, I nodded, then slowly closed the car door and watched the shadow of the Mercedes Benz driving away. I was thinking about what Mo Fushan had just said in my heart.

I don't know if he was just promising me something or trying to please me. In the final analysis... Mo Fushan's level is too far behind me. The intrigues in the upper class may not be something I can bear. I am still far behind those old-timers who have been in the business for many years.

It is very likely that I am just a chess piece in Mo Fushan's hand. For me, the best thing to do at this time is to retreat bravely. If I forge ahead in the rapids... I, who am just a small boat, may not even know how I was drowned.

but......

I looked at the phone case with an ancient forest picture in my hand, took a deep breath of the jacket with a faint fruity scent, and finally chose a dangerous path in an extremely irrational way.

"Mr. Lin? Um...Mr. Lin?"

"Ok?"

Just at this moment, I heard a familiar voice behind me. I turned around and found that it was Manager Fang who was wiping the sweat from his forehead and jogging towards me while shouting.

"I'm so sorry, I was so busy today that I didn't treat you properly."

"It's okay, I think it's fine now."

Hearing what he said, I smiled and waved my hand to show that it was okay, and then I suddenly remembered that I didn't seem to have paid yet...

Damn, I almost ate a free meal.

"Oh, Manager Fang, I almost forgot... I haven't given you the money yet."

"No, no, you can come to our Dongfengzhai to eat, which makes our restaurant glorious. How can we let you pay... um... not to mention..."

When Manager Fang said this, he suddenly felt a little embarrassed and laughed awkwardly twice.

"Besides...Mr. Mo has already paid for you."

"Have you paid?"

"Well, President Mo and President Xu were having dinner at Dongfengzhai. I only found out about it later, so after receiving the call, I hurried over."

After hearing what Manager Fang said, all my guesses were proven true. I immediately understood that this meal was a trap set by Mo Fushan. I had already been involved when the maid suggested that I come to Dongfengzhai and let me drive the Mercedes-Benz.

But if that's the case, doesn't that mean he knew I ordered the drinks but still let me order them?

Did he want to provoke Mr. Xu? Did he want to see what I would do? Or... was this just an accident?

"Um...Mr. Lin?"

"Huh? Oh...it's okay. I'm just a little surprised."

After hearing what Manager Fang said, I waved my hands and didn't mention to him the conversation between Mo Fushan and me. After all, Mo Fushan deliberately concealed it, so it would be better for me not to mention it to outsiders.
