False Court
Chapter 229 Astonishment
With the announcement of the Earth's Cup, tonight is destined to be a sleepless night!
The turmoil and impact it has caused are not as simple as they appear on the surface. The balanced landscape is about to be broken, and a bloody war is quietly brewing.
As for where the future will lead, that's not something Su Mo needs to worry about. He's just here to experience life. Such important matters should be left to the big shots to decide. He just wants to do what he likes to do and be happy.
Su Mo browsed for a while, then put his phone away. It was time to go back and rest.
-----------------------------------------------------
The next morning, Su Mo woke up early. He changed into a set of black casual clothes, pushed open the door, and walked out.
He saw Zi Qing making breakfast. She heard the noise, looked up, and asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Up so early today?"
Su Mo twisted his neck a few times, slightly stretched his stiff body, and the bones in his body made cracking sounds.
"I haven't exercised in a long time, and my body is a little stiff. I'm planning to go for a morning run."
"Okay, breakfast isn't ready yet, it'll take a while. Time yourself and come back to eat."
"No need, I'll just run to the company and have breakfast there."
"Alright."
"I'm off."
Su Mo pushed open the door and jogged out.
On the street, Su Mo ran at a steady pace, occasionally attracting the attention of passersby.
These days, few people go for morning runs because the air quality isn't great and life is stressful. People either lie in bed and sleep or go to the gym to work out, where there are professional air purification devices.
Along the way, there were only elderly people doing Tai Chi and morning exercises in the park.
An hour and a half later, Su Mo, slightly out of breath, appeared at the entrance of the Dawn Group building!
He picked up his phone and checked the time. He was a little late; it was almost time for work. Although he wasn't late, he probably wouldn't have time to eat breakfast.
So Su Mo walked into the Dawn Group building. It was the time when shifts were changing, and there were a lot of people.
All twenty of the building's large elevators were operating at full capacity.
Su Mo walked towards the elevator directly in front of him. A large group of people was lined up at the elevator entrance, and he quietly followed behind them.
After waiting for about five minutes, a hand suddenly patted Su Mo on the shoulder.
"What a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence at all. I clearly saw you queuing up on the other side just now."
Su Mo turned his head to look at Lin Zinuo standing behind him and bluntly exposed her.
Lin Zinuo was speechless and rolled her eyes at Su Mo.
"Don't you understand what it means to see through but not expose? Are we still good friends? You're not so petty that you're still holding a grudge about the punch I threw at you, are you? I'm not even angry anymore. Can't you, a grown man, be a little more broad-minded?"
"I'm not angry. I'm just stating the facts!"
Su Mo looked indifferent. He didn't take it to heart at all.
"I don't believe you. I'm not arguing with you anymore. The elevator's here, let's hurry up. Otherwise, we'll have to wait for the next one, and we won't have time to clock in."
Lin Zinuo said, pushing Su Mo towards the elevator. At this moment, the elevator doors opened.
The corners of Su Mo's mouth twitched slightly. He originally wanted to wait for the next one, but Lin Zinuo had quickly pushed him in.
"How was that? I'm fast, right?"
Lin Zinuo said smugly.
Su Mo helplessly shook his head. He was too lazy to argue with Lin Zinuo. He preferred to ride when there were fewer people.
At this moment, a voice rang out.
"Everyone, step aside!"
The people who were about to get on the elevator stepped aside. They saw Ye Wei walking over arrogantly with two accompanying subordinates.
Lin Zinuo whispered to Su Mo, "Here comes trouble again."
Su Mo didn't say anything and remained silent. Saying too much could easily lead to trouble.
Soon, Ye Wei and her two subordinates entered the elevator. She frowned and said in disgust.
"Hmph, not using privileges and insisting on some kind of equality for all. Sick."
Under normal circumstances, large group companies would have elevators for senior executives and private VIPs, but Qian Chengxue's building did not have any.
The people in the elevator saw Ye Wei enter and quickly got off.
In the end, only Su Mo and Lin Zinuo were left standing there.
Ye Wei glanced at the two of them and sneered, "You're really ignorant. Can't you get off voluntarily?"
"Why should we? It's so spacious here. We can all go up together."
Lin Zinuo originally thought about ignoring this person and just enduring it until they got to the top, but she didn't expect this person to be so unreasonable.
"I don't like riding with the lower class because your breath will pollute the air. Is that reason satisfactory?"
Ye Wei spoke as if she were talking about something insignificant.
Lin Zinuo was about to explode with anger, but she restrained herself. If she clashed with Ye Wei, she would definitely be the one to suffer.
After all, she was family. Although Lin Zinuo was a senior executive, she was just an external hire.
"Don't go too far. This isn't your area of responsibility."
"Lin Zinuo, I'm already giving you a lot of face. You better be sensible. And don't be too proud of yourself, thinking that you're doing so well that you can stand up to me. Let me tell you, you're not far from being fired. Maybe you won't have a job soon. When that happens, you two might have to beg me to take you in, so you better be polite."
A mocking smile appeared on Ye Wei's face, and her eyes were full of disdain.
"Please get off!"
Ye Wei's two subordinates reached out and forcibly asked the two of them to leave.
Ding~
The elevator doors closed.
Su Mo and Lin Zinuo stood outside the elevator doors, looking at each other. After regaining her senses, Lin Zinuo asked Su Mo in a daze, "Su Mo, did I hear correctly? Did she say we're going to be fired? What's going on?"
"I don't know either."
Su Mo's eyes narrowed. He also felt that something was wrong. Although Ye Wei was arrogant and proud, she wasn't brainless. If she didn't have some confidence, she wouldn't say things like that casually.
"Let's go up and see."
Lin Zinuo couldn't sit still. She grabbed Su Mo's hand and ran towards the elevator next to them.
"......"
Su Mo was also embarrassed and wanted to tell Lin Zinuo to pay attention to her image, since there were still a lot of people around.
A moment later, Su Mo and Lin Zinuo got into the elevator next to them. Lin Zinuo directly swiped her card to go to the top floor.
"What are you doing?"
"What do you think? Ye Wei and her group are definitely going to Xue Jie's (older sister) office to cause trouble. Let's go listen."
"Isn't that eavesdropping? That's not good."
Su Mo coughed and asked.
"What's wrong with it?"
Lin Zinuo couldn't care less about so many things right now.
Soon, they arrived at the top floor. The two of them walked out of the elevator and saw Ye Wei walking arrogantly towards Qian Chengxue's office in the distance.
Lin Zinuo pulled Su Mo and secretly followed them.
Along the way, they encountered some colleagues who were about to greet Lin Zinuo and Su Mo.
Lin Zinuo quickly made a gesture of silence, signaling them not to make a sound.
