Chapter 12. You Shall Be Called the Five Tiger Generals!
No matter what…
An older sister always exerts a natural dominance over her younger sister.
Since Su Qingyan was eight years younger than Su Xiaoxiao, she still carried a trace of fear toward her sister deep down.
But no matter how strong that dominance was, Su Qingyan had already made up her mind. She would never give up on being with Li Mo.
No matter how fiercely their parents objected,
Nothing would stop her.
“You—!”
Su Xiaoxiao’s temper flared, but then she remembered the unfinished proposal on her desk.
She sighed.
“I’m too busy right now.”
“I don’t have time to argue.”
“Move out as soon as possible, or I’ll come drag you out myself.”
With that, she hung up.
The dial tone left Su Qingyan uneasy.
Did Sister suspect something?
It was bound to come out eventually,
But that didn’t stop the dread creeping into her heart.
At least…
She and Li Mo were moving out soon.
That was some consolation.
“Bro.”
“I’m going to bed.”
Her mood had clearly dipped.
The next morning.
While preparing breakfast, Li Mo worried about Su Qingyan’s state—
Only to find her bursting with energy when she emerged.
“Bro, do I look like your secretary today?”
Su Qingyan was dressed in professional attire,
Though her signature black stockings remained.
Paired with heels, she looked slightly more mature,
But the youthful innocence on her face was unmistakable.
At 19…
She still had that fresh, delicate charm.
Today, she was determined to become Li Mo’s secretary.
After learning about his new company—
Investing in Ma Tengyun’s instant messaging project—
She decided she had to stay by his side.
There was a saying in the business world:
“A secretary handles everything…”
And she sure as hell wasn’t letting some “glamorous vixens”
Weasel their way into her brother’s life.
What if he couldn’t resist them?
“You do.”
“Come to the office with me later.”
“Eat first.”
Su Qingyan skipped over and sat pressed against Li Mo, happily nibbling her toast.
As if food tasted better when shared with him.
After breakfast,
She spent ages applying lipstick in front of the mirror
Before finally following Li Mo out the door.
When they arrived at Qingyan Investment,
Su Qingyan froze.
This office…
Was way more luxurious than she imagined!
“Bro! This is Blue Ocean Tower!”
“The rent here starts at three million a year!”
“Where did you get that kind of money?!”
Li Mo gazed at the radiant young woman beside him,
Still seeing the little elementary schooler from years ago.
He couldn’t resist patting her head.
“Haven’t paid yet.”
“Planning to make up the difference in the stock market today.”
Su Qingyan’s eyes widened.
“Make up the difference”?
“Bro! Are you serious?!”
Ahead, employees were already gathering,
So she swallowed further questions.
Well…
Investments usually lose money anyway.
Losing it in stocks might even save some.
And the office?
They could always downsize later.
Worst case, she’d graduate and work hard alongside Li Mo.
As long as they were together,
Life would be fine.
Then another thought struck her—
The company was named after her.
She’d never imagined
Li Mo would choose her name.
Despite his reservations…
He must really care about me.
Given time, he’d surely accept their relationship.
As long as two people loved each other,
Nothing else mattered.
“Good morning, President Li!”
Ma Tengyun and four others boomed in unison.
The company now had twenty employees—
Ma Tengyun’s old friends, plus a dozen computer specialists,
All hired at 10,000 yuan/month.
Seeing Li Mo,
They couldn’t hide their excitement.
So this was the big boss!
Talk about deep pockets!
“Don’t call me ‘President Li.’”
“Makes me feel like we’re running a bathhouse.”
After some discussion,
The group settled on “Mr. Mo”—
More refined than “Mr. Li.”
“Good morning, Mr. Mo!”
“Good.”
“Let’s convene a meeting.”
Everyone noticed Su Qingyan trailing Li Mo.
It was obvious—
She was his woman.
No one dared ask.
In the conference room,
Li Mo took the head seat.
Ma Tengyun sat to his left,
Followed by Zhang Zhidong, Zeng Liqing, Xu Chenye, and Chen Yidan.
“Mr. Mo!”
Ma Tengyun was practically glowing.
He truly believed Li Mo had ten million stashed away—
Why else would he spend so recklessly?
“Let me introduce these four!”
“This is my college buddy, Zhang Zhidong!”
Li Mo studied Zhang Zhidong.
His phone’s future data had outlined the rise of “Penguin Tech” in a parallel world—
Founded by Ma Tengyun and Zhang Zhidong,
Later joined by three others.
Those five were Penguin’s founding pillars,
Dubbed the “Five Tiger Generals.”
Li Mo had planned to recruit them gradually,
But fate had brought them all together today.
Some things…
Really are predestined.
“I know.”
“In all of Shenzhen, few young programmers rival you.”
“You’re easily top three.”
Zhang Zhidong turned crimson with shock.
My reputation is that big?!
“You’ve… heard of me?!”
He’d been skeptical about Li Mo,
But this praise felt like meeting a soulmate.
No scammer could be this well-informed!
This man is the real deal—a visionary investor!
“I have.”
“And this must be Zeng Liqing.”
“Mastermind behind the Broadband Community campaign.”
“A rare marketing talent.”
Zeng Liqing nearly fell off his chair.
How does he know about that?!
This level of re
This…
Can’t be real.
The Five Tiger Generals were completely dumbfounded.
