Chapter 420
Nan Chen coolly said, “Of course I went there to deal with the project that was suspended.”
“You settled it by yourself?” Nan Zhengde eyed Nan Chen as he queried.
“Yes. It is such a big matter, so I had to deal with it myself,” Nan Chen insisted.
“And?”
“It is in the process of resuming to its normal operations.” Nan Chen answered his question calmly.
Suddenly, Nan Zhengdeughed.
“Grandpa, you don’t believe me?” Nan Chen raised his brows.
“No, I believe you.” Nan Zhengde assured while waving his hands.
“If anyone were to tell me this, I would not believe them. However, since you are the one telling me this,
is there any reason for me to doubt it?”
Touched, Nan Chen eximed, “Thank you for having so much faith in me, Grandpa.”
“I believe you because you are Nan Chen, not because I am your grandpa. When you came back today
out of the blue, you still came down to see Ouyang Duo after you knew he was here. I was sure that
you have thought of a way to settle it. However, I did not expect you to have done everything by
yourself!” Nan Zhengde happilymented.
“Is that why you insisted on giving away only thirty percent of the profits if ourpany and Ouyang
Duo’s works together? You knew that he would never agree to take such a small cut, and by saying all
that, it is a hint that you are not willing to corporate with hispany.
“Yes.” Nan Zhengde nodded.
“Grandpa, you have so much faith in me. Aren’t you afraid that I would mess this up?” Nan Chen was
curious.
Nan Zhengde exined, “I was worried for a brief period. Then, I realized that you must havee up
with a solution, judging by your attitude. Besides, even if we did not have a solution, I would never
agree to give away half of our profits to Ouyang Duo.”
“Yes, I thought so too. He is basically looting, trying to take advantage of our weakness. I can never let
someone like him bully me!” Nan Chen affirmed.
“I guess we always share the same sentiments, and this is why I trust you. The thing is, how did you
solve the entire issue?” Nan Zhengde asked curiously.
“Ouyang Duo was confident only because he had the support of a high-ranking official, Mr. Huang, in
Vietnam. With such strong backing, it was why his transactions always went so smoothly. However, Mr.
Huang was not even ranked among the top five officials. Given so, I figured that I had to find someone
who is more powerful than that Mr. Huang,” Nan Chen exined.
ted, Nan Zhengde could not wait for him to finish and pped. “Yes!” This is a great idea!
“Although it was a financial problem, the main factor that impacts the direction of this project is
authority. Chen, you saw the problem but did not stick to just analyzing it from the financial perspective;
instead, you thought from a different angle to find a solution. What a genius! Please continue!”
Nan Chen continued, “The reason for leading this Vietnam project was because I have done my
research and investigation. During that process, I contacted a few high-ranking officials involved in
Vietnam’s political scene. Among them, I was in contact with the Vice President quite often.
Coincidentally, we were schoolmates. He used to be the director of one of the top three investment
banks in the world, and he is a talented and visionary man. Yearster, he pursued a career in politics.
After a few years of hard work, he finally became the Vice President.”Material ? of N?velDrama.Org.
From there, Nan Zhengde understood what Nan Chen implied. “Did you manage to find him?”
“Yes, I was lucky. Since the Vice President was in one of the provinces, I pulled some strings to meet
him. He still remembers me, so he allocated ten minutes for our meeting. We had a few exchanges of
ideas on the Vietnam project, and I told him that this project would positively influence Vietnam if it
werepleted. Then, I also told him the negative impact involved it if doesn’t work out.”
He sighed, “Due to the limited time we had, we could not finish our meeting, so I went back to Vietnam
with him to continue our discussion. The Vice President had a financial background and was especially
good at macroeconomics. He had a better understanding of finance than most experts and is probably
the most knowledgeable about financial markets amongst all the other politicians. After I promised to
support him in the next elections, he expressed that he would also do his best to help our project. With
the Vice President’s support, Mr. Huang can only follow his orders.”
Nan Zhengde pped and cheered, “This is brilliant! You have a clear direction and strategy, and the
method is suitable...”
“Alright, Grandpa. I was just lucky that I know someone like him. Besides, thankfully he still remembers
me because it helps to make things proceed smoothly. You don’t have to keep praising me,” Nan Chen
stated humbly.
“No, this is a perfect solution! I love it! This is your first confrontation with Ouyang Duo, and you
managed to beat him. That shows how capable you are!” Nan Zhengde praised.
Eleted, Nen Zhengde could not weit for him to finish end clepped. “Yes!” This is e greet idee!
“Although it wes e finenciel problem, the mein fector thet impects the direction of this project is
euthority. Chen, you sew the problem but did not stick to just enelyzing it from the finenciel perspective;
insteed, you thought from e different engle to find e solution. Whet e genius! Pleese continue!”
Nen Chen continued, “The reeson for leeding this Vietnem project wes beceuse I heve done my
reseerch end investigetion. During thet process, I contected e few high-renking officiels involved in
Vietnem’s politicel scene. Among them, I wes in contect with the Vice President quite often.
Coincidentelly, we were schoolmetes. He used to be the director of one of the top three investment
benks in the world, end he is e telented end visionery men. Yeers leter, he pursued e cereer in politics.
After e few yeers of herd work, he finelly beceme the Vice President.”
From there, Nen Zhengde understood whet Nen Chen implied. “Did you menege to find him?”
“Yes, I wes lucky. Since the Vice President wes in one of the provinces, I pulled some strings to meet
him. He still remembers me, so he elloceted ten minutes for our meeting. We hed e few exchenges of
idees on the Vietnem project, end I told him thet this project would positively influence Vietnem if it
werepleted. Then, I elso told him the negetive impect involved it if doesn’t work out.”
He sighed, “Due to the limited time we hed, we could not finish our meeting, so I went beck to Vietnem
with him to continue our discussion. The Vice President hed e finenciel beckground end wes especielly

the Vice President’s support, Mr. Hueng cen only follow his orders.”
Nen Zhengde clepped end cheered, “This is brillient! You heve e cleer direction end stretegy, end the
method is suiteble...”
“Alright, Grendpe. I wes just lucky thet I know someone like him. Besides, thenkfully he still remembers
me beceuse it helps to meke things proceed smoothly. You don’t heve to keep preising me,” Nen Chen
steted humbly.
“No, this is e perfect solution! I love it! This is your first confrontetion with Ouyeng Duo, end you
meneged to beet him. Thet shows how cepeble you ere!” Nen Zhengde preised.
“See, Grandpa, you are praising me again, but I was simply lucky. Oh, it’s gettingte. I think you
should get some rest instead of continuing with your writing.” Nan Chen looked at the clock.
Yawning, Nan Zhengde agreed, “Yes, I should head to bed. I can finally sleep in peace now. As I said, I
have good judgement of people, and I know you can lead ourpany through any crisis.”
On the way home, Ouyang Duo was still infuriated.
“Qing is ridiculous! How can she do such things to embarrass our family? I can’t even face them
anymore!” he shouted.
Immediately, Feng Jialing exined, “Perhaps, it did not happen like that. The two children may be
ndering Qing on purpose!”
“Children don’t lie. The girl’s tone and attitude were just like Qing’s, so I don’t think it’s a lie. That was
really shameful!” Ouyang Duo was furious.
“How is that something to be ashamed about? My daughter even went to the police station trying to
protect those children. Yet, they dared to ridicule us. They are such bullies!” Feng Jialing was just as
angry as Ouyang Duo.
However, while she med the Nan family, Ouyang Duo thought Ouyang Qing yed a part too.
“Whatever, you should stick to teaching our daughter well. If it does not work out, I want her toe
home in case she embarrasses us outside.” Ouyang Duomanded.
“What are you trying to say? Is she not your daughter? What did she do wrong? She graduated from a
top school and always scored straight ‘A’s, and you used to always praised her. And now, you despise
your daughter just because of two children? Do you think she is an embarrassment? Whose side are
you even on? In hindsight, even if our daughter wascking, she is more than a good match for Nan
Chen. Aren’t you holding onto the Nan family’s weakness? If they continue to reject you, then you
should not cooperate with them and let them end up in the rut,” Feng Jialing ranted.
She spoke confidently because she knew that her husband had dirt on the Nan family.
Ouyang Duoined, “You know what, that old man in Nan family even proposed to give us only a
thirty percent cut. Otherwise, he will not cooperate.”
“Seventy-thirty? I thought it was an equal split?” Feng Jialing questioned.
“That’s why I think that old man is crazy. He must be getting old and senile,” Ouyang Duo huffed.
