Chapter 422
Feng Jialing and Ouyang Qing were stunned.
A moment ago, Ouyang Duo was so confident, yet he was so distraught the next.
“What are we going to do now? How did Nan Chen manage to contact the vice president, and why did
he even want to help him?” Feng Jialing was murmuring away.
“I really underestimated Nan Chen. I never thought he could have such a high-profile contact in
Vietnam that allowed him tounch such a huge project. I shouldn’t have underestimated Nan Chen
since the Nan family is very prominent in Flower City. I fully ept my defeat.” Ouyang Duo sighed.
“Don’t be so depressing. What should we do now? Can we salvage things?” asked Feng Jialing.
“Dad, do we still have a chance?” What should I do?” Nan Chen might not even look at me anymore,”
she asked while tears began to trickle down her face. “It’s over now.”
Ouyang Duo stood up, walked to the bar counter, picked up a bottle of beer, and had two gulps of it.
“There’s still Mr. Huang, right? Maybe he can help to turn the tides in our favor,” Feng Jialing said.
“Mr. Huang’s political standing is a far cry from the vice president’s. Since the vice president openly
dered his support for Nan Chen, what else can Mr. Huang do? Everything that the Nan family did
was legal. If a thorough investigation is to be carried out, Mr. Huang will never go scot-free! As of now,
he has already applied to go abroad for a business trip because he does not dare to remain in the
country. I only hope that the vice president is not going to investigate what happened to the Nan
family’s project,” said Ouyang Duo.
At that, Feng Jialing was speechless.
“So are we defeated already?”
“Completely,” Ouyang Duo mumbled helplessly and added more salt to their wounds.
Meanwhile, Feng Jialing wailed, “Why did it end up this way?”
“I underestimated my enemy. I don’t give a damn; we HAVE toe up with ns to salvage the
situation. We must do it for the sake of the Ouyang family and Qing,” dered Feng Jialing.
“The only thing we can do now is to mend the damage this fall-out brought about to our rtionship
with the Nan family. We must make amends and restore our rtionship with them.”
Ouyang Duo had the gift of acumen that allowed him to assess the situation and n the proper course
of action.
When he knew of the business failure with the Nan family, he swiftly made the necessary adjustments.
After all, he wasn’t in a rush, and he had yet to aplish many of his aspirations for the city.
He must maintain a cordial rtionship with the formidable Nan family before he realized his visions.
“What should we do then?”
Ouyang Qing was even more anxious than her dad as she wasn’t willing to see the rtionship
between her family and the Nan family deteriorate.
Because if that happened, it would be even harder for her to get closer to Nan Chen.
She was willing to do what had to be done in order to improve the rtionship with the Nan family
without any hesitation.
“Qing, stop crying, I’m sure I have displeased the Nan family, so it’s all up to you now. You must work
on your rtionship with Nan Chen, act as if you’re oblivious to what I’ve done, and pretend to be
innocent. Do you understand?” Ouyang Duo gently wiped Ouyang Qing’s tears.
“I understand, but I am scared that Nan Chen won’t care about me anymore.” Ouyang Qing frowned.
“Don’t you still have the bargaining chips in the form of Bai Hua and Nan Zhiyuan? You must make
good use of them. Try your best to meet Nan Chen tomorrow and exin to him that you did not have
any knowledge about what happened. You still stand a chance with him because Nan Chen is not a
petty person. Don’t give up.”
Ouyang Qing nodded in acknowledgment. After hearing her dad’s words, she felt much better.
“Oh, what about the two children?” A thought suddenly struck Ouyang Duo.
“What about them?”
“They are no ordinary children; they are especially intelligent. Moreover, they are the apples of
everyone’s eyes in the Nan family, so we muste up with a way to gain their approval. Their
eptance is far more important than the adults’.” Ouyang Duo frowned.
Feng Jialing nodded in agreement.
Interestingly, because the Ouyang family was engrossed in the changes of the Vietnam project, they
failed to mention that Erbao was the one who acted out Ouyang Qing’s tantrum to the Nan family.
That was why Ouyang Qing still didn’t know that Dabao and Erbao were the ones responsible for
exposing her.
“Alright. I invite them out tomorrow and spend some time with them,” Ouyang Qing proimed.
“Can you handle them?” Feng Jialing was still concerned.
“They’re just kids. What happened today was just an ident, and I’ll be sure to be extra careful
tomorrow.” Ouyang Qing regained her confidence.
“As long as you can win their approval, you can definitely fortify your standing in the Nan family. If you
can do that, our rtionship with them will surely improve. Our hopes are all on you now,” Ouyang Duo
eximed.
Interestingly, even though Ouyang Duo got the short end of the stick, he decided to ce his faith in his
daughter.
The next morning, Nan Chen returned to work as usual.
No one dared to ask him where he went the past few days, and no one had any idea what happened.
Nan Chen thought that he was very early, but someone else arrived even earlier than him. And it was
Ouyang Qing.
Nan Chen couldn’t help but frown. “Why are you here?”
“I intend to bring the kids out to y, so I came here to ask you if there is anything I should look out
for?” Ouyang Qing stated her purpose.
Actually, Nan Chen didn’t know what happened to Ouyang Qing yesterday, and he didn’t know about
Erbao and Dabao’s performance.
He was a busy man, so those trivial matters slipped through his mind.
That was why he thought that Ouyang Qing was being sincere in asking him for advice.
“Just don’t let them eat in unsanitary ces. Oh, also, Erbao is allergic to nuts. We don’t know exactly
what nuts she’s allergic to, so just avoid them altogether,” Nan Chen instructed.
“Thank you, Chen. I got it.” Ouyang Qing smiled sweetly.
However, she didn’t leave at once, so Nan Chen asked her, “Is there anything else?”
“Um, one more thing. I heard from my Dad that something unpleasant happened between you and him.
Did he offend you somehow?” Ouyang Qing asked quizzically.
“What did he say?” Nan Chen seemed stoic as usual.
“He didn’t go into detail, but I could tell that something bad happened.”
“Nothing of the sort happened. Our families will coborate,” Nan Chen affirmed.
Ouyang Qing thought that she must’ve misheard him. Didn’t Dad say that the negotiations went bust?
ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Didn’t he say that Nan Chen managed to solve his conundrum? Don’t tell me that in the end, Nan Chen
didn’t manage to do that?
If that’s the case, I need to tell Dad as soon as possible! This is a good opportunity!
“Are our families really gonna coborate together?” Ouyang Qing wanted to confirm the truth.
“Yeah. I originally nned for Jiang Zhe to informed Mr. Ouyang, but since you’re here, why don’t you
call him and ask him to arrange a time for our meeting?”
