In an instant, the entire Office Lobby erupted in laughter.
Wu Youyou was laughing so hard that she nearly lost her breath. Mo Kai Liang's face turned crimson as he realized he had misspoken. Lan Qingqing was the most flustered; she hurriedly tried to explain, saying that Mo Kai Liang had been in research and development for years! He was just a straightforward guy! How could he possibly understand anything about Hermès or Patek Philippe? Wu Youyou exclaimed, "You're really pushing it! The fact that he doesn't know these things just shows he never needed such superficial items to define himself. His focus in life isn't on those flashy things!"
Wu Youyou lifted her chin, crossing her arms proudly over her chest. She pointed casually at the company parking lot, at the most eye-catching Rolls Royce. "If these are all superficial things, why does your Husband drive such a car? Anyone who has bought a Rolls Royce knows it's just for show; otherwise, why use it for long-distance travel or artillery deployment?"
Wu Youyou continued to laugh, and the office staff couldn't help but join in, realizing that Lan Qingqing was just putting on a brave face.
Mo Kai Liang stood there helplessly, unsure how to explain or assist; he felt like he had caused a mess. Wu Youyou took out her phone, ready to deliver her final blow.
She turned to Mo Kai Liang and said, "I say, great President Mo, why don’t you tell us your Rolls Royce's license plate number? I want to see when you bought this car. A friend of mine is in the car business; they can even check if this car is rented based on the plate number."
Mo Kai Liang looked guilty and didn’t dare to respond, while Lan Qingqing also grew tense.
Nearby, Tong Le watched Mo Kai Liang's flustered expression and felt an increasing sense of familiarity with his face. She opened her phone and pulled up the investigation notes she had compiled while looking into Ke Jie. Back then, Tong Le had thoroughly investigated all of Ke Jie’s relatives after discovering assets were being secretly transferred from Tongshan Real Estate. Suddenly, she remembered that among Ke Jie’s many relatives was a family with the surname Mo, which stood out in her memory due to its uniqueness.
Tong Le opened her previous notes and indeed found Mo Kai Liang listed as a distant cousin of Ke Jie.
Realization dawned on Tong Le; the mastermind behind this drama was Ke Jie.
Just as she was about to speak up, Zong Jin appeared at the entrance of the lobby.
Zong Jin interrupted the farce and commanded, "What are you all doing during work hours?"
The crowd dispersed like birds scattering, returning to their respective posts.
Zong Jin glanced at Lan Qingqing and Mo Kai Liang with apparent disinterest; he couldn’t be bothered with these two drama queens. He gestured for Wu Youyou and Tong Le to follow him to his office.
Tong Le grabbed Wu Youyou and left the scene.
Lan Qingqing returned to her seat and pulled another chair over to sit behind Mo Kai Liang. The two sat closely together, shielded from others' sight by a partition.
Lan Qingqing seized Mo Kai Liang's arm tightly, digging her fingers into his flesh hard enough to leave bruises.
"Do you have a problem?" Lan Qingqing scolded softly. "Didn't I tell you to keep your mouth shut? Wu Youyou is clearly trying to set you up; can't you see that?"
Mo Kai Liang hung his head, feeling utterly ashamed. "I really don't know what that Hermes and that Patek Philippe are."
Lan Qingqing was so furious her head felt dizzy. She lowered her voice, gritting her teeth. "That's Hermes and Patek Philippe! One sells bags, the other sells watches!"
Mo Kai Liang looked down, admitting his mistake. "I'll earn money to buy them for you. It's just a bag and a watch, right?"
Lan Qingqing was too exasperated to even be angry anymore. "You really are blissfully ignorant! An Hermes bag costs six figures! A Patek Philippe watch costs seven figures! Even if you sold all your organs on the black market, it wouldn't be enough!"
