Chapter 351
“Dad, how could you say that? Is that what a father is supposed to say to his daughter? I’m seriously
doing this for business! I just want a project of my own that can earn money as well. Not only will that
benefit thepany, but it’ll reflect well on you too! Isn’t that a win-win situation? It’s just two hundred
million. Let me try, please?”
Gazing down at the hopeful look in his daughter’s eyes, Ouyang Duo reluctantly nodded. “Fine. But I
need to see a feasibility report first! Although it’s just two hundred million, that’s still money. Since this is
an investment, I don’t care if it’s Nan Chen or whoever. All I care about is whether this investment will
bring me profits.”
Delighted, Ouyang Qing asked eagerly, “Does that mean you agree to this?”
“Notpletely. This is just a tentative agreement. Like I said, I want to read through a feasibility report
first before I make any final decisions.”
“I understand, Dad. I’ll get it ready for you as soon as I can! Wait for my good news, okay?”
With that said, she turned around to leave.
“Hey, didn’t you say you were here to see me off? Are you going to just leave me here?” Ouyang Duo
called out after her retreating back.
“I’m busy! Once I get the feasibility report, I’ll let you know. Bye, Dad!”
Ouyang Duo sighed in exasperation. Unfortunately, she was a grown woman now and he held no sway
over her anymore. He was well aware of his daughter’s feelings toward Nan Chen.
From a father’s standpoint, of course he hoped his daughter would marry Nan Chen. The Nan family
was extremely influential. If there was a marriage to tie the two families together, it would undoubtedly
benefit the Ouyang family greatly.
Even ignoring the Nan family’s status, Ouyang Duo was incredibly pleased with Nan Chen. Not only
was the younger man very handsome, but he was also very talented.
As such, he had instantly approved of his daughter’s decision to follow in Nan Chen’s footsteps and
invest in that movie.
Two hundred million really was quite insignificant. In fact, he would not even mind losing that money if
he could get Nan Chen as his son-inw in return.
However, he could not immediately let his daughter know of his decision. After all, this was an
investment opportunity. He could not be too careless or Nan Chen might realize their intentions.
He did not want the Nan family to think that he was reaching above his station by pushing his daughter
toward Nan Chen. In the end, he had a daughter while the Nan family had a son. If he portrayed
himself as being too lowly right from the start, his daughter might end up getting bullied after she
married.
He made his way toward the elevator, still lost in thought.
Right then, the elevator arrived with a “ding” and a man stepped out. It was his son, Ouyang Qi.
Ouyang Duo could feel a headache forming the moment heid eyes on his son.
This son of his was the total opposite of his daughter.
Ever since young, he had gotten terrible grades in his studies. Trouble seemed to crop up wherever he
went. It did not matter how good the school was, he would eventually beat up his ssmates or cause
the teachers to resign in rage.
There was even an incident during his high school years where he got a teacher pregnant. It was only
after she was paid arge sum that she kept quiet about it.
The Ouyang family was considered an influential family too. As such, a lot of women were constantly
trying to get close to Ouyang Qi. Needless to say, they were only after his fortune.
On his end, Ouyang Qi was indeed ascivious man. He would never refuse any woman who could be
considered the slightest bit pretty. That had led to more than a few incidents over the years.
After graduation, he could not get into any of the local universities. Left with no other choice, Ouyang
Duo sent him off to Canada to further his studies.
To Ouyang Duo’s frustration, his son continued his yboy ways even while in Canada. He even
managed to sleep with the wife of a local mob boss. As a result, the mob boss kidnapped him, chopped
off his left pinky finger, and ransomed the Ouyang family for yet anotherrge sum of money.
If this had happened to anyone else, that person would have learned their lesson. Yet Ouyang Qi did
not.
After returning to the country, he did not stop his promiscuous ways. Instead, his behavior worsened.
He was constantly sleeping with various celebrities and had even gotten the nickname “Nine-Fingered
Prince.”
The small-time celebrities often joked that he made up for hisck of finger by being even more
generous. That’s why they loved to date him.
This time, Ouyang Duo had brought him to Flower City to introduce him to some of the business
magnates he knew. Yet the brat had snuck off when he was not paying attention.
Naturally, Ouyang Qi was not at all interested in celebrating some old man’s birthday. He had slipped
away to sample the beauties of Flower City the first chance he got.
Rage boiled in Ouyang Duo when he saw his son. “What are you doing here?”
“Dad, you haven’t left yet?” Ouyang Qi was visibly surprised to see his father.
“You thought I’ve gone back home so you’re here to borrow money again, aren’t you? Thepany is
not your personal ATM! You can’t always borrow money from the Finance Department!” Ouyang Duo
roared.
“Dad, I’m just borrowing! It’s not like I have no intention of returning the money!” Ouyang Qi protested.
That enraged Ouyang Duo more. “Really? Since when have you ever paid the money back?”
“I don’t have any ie now. However, I’ll definitely return the money once I have it! You’re my father!
If I don’t spend your money then who will? It’s perfectly reasonable that I spend your money, isn’t it?”
Ouyang Qi justified his actions.
“You worthless animal! How did I ever get a son like you?”
“Hey Dad, I’m your son. If I’m an animal, what does that make you? You shouldn’t insult yourself like
that. Anyways, you should leave if you’re so busy,” Ouyang Qi replied with a grin.
“I’m calling the general manager to tell him not to lend you any more money! You should just give up!”
“C’mon, Dad, don’t be like that. You’ve already frozen my bank ount! I don’t even have any money
to eat! If you won’t let me borrow any money, am I supposed to be a beggar on the streets? If I had
been an ordinary man, that wouldn’t have mattered much since I’m quite thick-skinned. However, I’m
Ouyang Duo’s son! I’m part of the great Ouyang family! Think of what would happen if any reporters
discovered me begging on the streets! Imagine the shame I would bring to the family!”
Ouyang Duo’s face purpled with rage at how shameless his son was being. How is he so good at
twisting reason to fit his purposes?
But in the end, no matter how terrible he was, Ouyang Qi was still his son. He could not, in good
conscience, just leave him be.
“Don’t bother the Finance Department! I’ll have them unfreeze your bank ount. However, don’t
spend any of that money on women again! Plus, you’re toe home with me now! From now onward,
focus on learning as much as you can at work with me. You’re not exactly young anymore. It’s about
time you man up and be a responsible person!”
Even though Ouyang Duo had ordered his subordinates to not lend Ouyang Qi any more money, there
was no way any of them would dare offend the Young Master. When it came down to it, Ouyang Qi was
still the sessor to thepany. They would lose their jobs if they pissed him off and he held a
grudge when he took over.
That was why they were more than willing to lend him money as long as he asked.
Most of the time, they lent it to him using thepany name. Their mindset was that it was the Ouyang
family’s money anyway. He just needed to write an IOU and then it was none of their business whether
he returned the money or not.
“Thanks, Dad. But I can’t go back just yet. I still have something very important to do here!” Ouyang Qi
said mysteriously.
“You have something important to do? What kind of important business could you possibly have?”
There was no way Ouyang Qi would tell his father that a woman had caught his interest.This belongs to N?velDrama.Org: ?.
