Chapter 423


    Ouyang Duo was in a state of disbelief when he received his daughter’s call.


    “Did you mishear something? Are you saying that Nan Chen wants to coborate with us?”


    The excitement in Ouyang Qing’s voice barely conceble, so she squealed, “Of course I didn’t


    mishear anything! Nan Chen said so himself!”


    “Is he trying to trick you?” Ouyang Duo was still skeptical.


    “Probably not, right? Nan Chen is a man of power, so he probably wouldn’t waste his time on a woman


    like me.” Ouyang Qing’s confidence started to waver.


    Ouyang Duo thought that her daughter made sense. She’s right. A man of Nan Chen’s status probably


    wouldn’t make up something to trick a young girl like her. That’s not how he operates.


    “Alright. I’ll go to hispany now.” Ouyang Duo started to get excited as well.


    “Dad, things are still not confirmed yet, so you should keep a low profile. Don’t bring too many people


    along with you,” Ouyang Qing reminded.


    “Don’t worry. I’lly low. Only my chauffeur and I will show up.”


    “Alright. Take care. Don’t be rude to Nan Chen and anger him again.”


    “I know. After all, he’s the man of your dreams, right?”


    “Stop teasing me,” Ouyang Qing said coyly.


    “Let me remind you again that you need to have a good rtionship with the two children. That’s the


    best way to get close to Nan Chen.”


    “I understand, Dad.”


    After the phone call, Ouyang Duo changed his clothes and headed to the Nanshi Corporation


    Headquarters.


    Nan Chen left for two days, so he had a lot to handle.


    That was why Ouyang Duo had to wait a few hours for him in the waiting room.


    Ouyang Duo was a senior figure in the business industry as he was the Chairman of the Sunshine


    Corporation, yet he still needed to wait for someone younger than him - Nan Chen.


    Usually, Ouyang Duo only agreed to meet people who ced a reservation, but now he didn’t have that


    luxury anymore.


    While waiting, Ouyang Duo wanted to storm off in rage a few times. However, he stopped himself once


    he reminded himself that this was an opportunity bestowed to him by Nan Chen.


    He knew that he had to be patient, so he forced himself to calm down.

    Still, Nan Chen hadn’t shown up after an hour.


    At that point of time, Ouyang Duo needed to take a leak because he drank several cups of coffee


    during his wait. When he came back, he bumped into Nan Chen.


    To his surprise, that guy was chatting with an employee in the corridor! Here I was, waiting stupidly for


    him!


    Upon that sight, Ouyang Duo bubbled in rage again. That brat actually finished his meeting earlier, and


    yet, he didn’te to see me?


    Is he toying with me? This is outrageous!


    “Nan Chen, did you ask me toe here just to drink yourpany’s horrible coffee in the waiting


    room?” Ouyang Duo bellowed.


    “Oh, you were waiting for me! Why didn’t anyone inform me? My meeting ended long ago. Those


    people really deserve to be punished; they’re shirking their work! I’m so sorry, Mr. Ouyang. Let’s talk in


    my office. Hey! Prepare arge cup of coffee for Mr. Ouyang!”


    Ouyang Duo was even more livid now. More coffee? Is he trying to drive me insane?


    “Wait a minute. I need to head to the restroom.” Ouyang Duo had an embarrassed expression.


    “Bring Mr. Ouyang to the restroom!” Nan Chen instructed.


    “Alright.”


    As Ouyang Duo was leaving, a cold smirk appeared on Nan Chen’s face.


    How dare someone sabotages the Nan family and tries to portray themselves as the savior?


    I need to make him pay for his actions.


    An eye for an eye. I will have him know that he shouldn’t mess with the Nan family.


    Not long after Nan Chen settled down in his office, Ouyang Duo arrived.


    “Mr. Ouyang, please have a cup of coffee.”


    Ouyang Duo hastily waved his hands. “No thanks! I’ve had too much! Chen, just cut to the chase. I


    have been waiting for too long.”


    “Mr. Ouyang, it seems like you’re a bit forgetful. Didn’t we already have a negotiation yesterday?” Nan


    Chen raised one of his eyebrows.


    “We did, but didn’t you... weren’t you...”


    “What are you trying to say?” Nan Chen asked.


    “Nothing. I just heard that your project was resumed, so congrattions, Chen.”


    Ouyang Duo was visibly embarrassed when he said that.


    “You must be very well-connected, Mr. Ouyang; you found out about that so soon.” Nan Chen took a


    small sip of coffee.


    “Chen, why did you keep that a secret? Did you ask me toe here just to ridicule me?” Ouyang Duo


    muttered in displeasure.


    “Mr. Ouyang, that’s really not it. I invited you here so that we can have some negotiations. I’m not the


    kind of person who would go out of my way to ridicule someone anyway.”


    “But your project has already been resumed, so you don’t need us anymore. Why should we even carry


    out negotiations?”


    “I took a look at one piece ofnd that the Sunshine Corporation owns and realized that it is quite


    valuable to us. The Nanshi Corporation can use it as a construction site.”


    “What do you mean?”


    “Literally what it means. We want to coborate with Sunshine Corporation.”


    “How?” Ouyang Duo asked agitatedly.


    “We’ll develop thend and split the profits eighty-twenty.”


    “Does that mean you’ll get eighty percent of the profit while we’ll get twenty percent?”


    “Of course. Don’t tell me you expect half of the profit from offering a barren piece ofnd?” Nan Chen


    uttered coldly.


    “No can do! We carried out all the legal proceedings for that piece ofnd, so why should we split the


    profits eighty-twenty?” Ouyang Duo was livid.


    “Even though the proceedings seemplete, there are still some discrepancies. If a thorough


    investigation is carried out, a lot of people in Vietnam will be indicted. If that happens, that piece ofnd


    will truly be a worthless piece of barrennd.”


    “Nonsense!” Ouyang Duo was so agitated that he stood up.


    “Calm down, Mr. Ouyang. You’re not young anymore, so you shouldn’t get angry. I didn’te up with


    this; the vice president did. Even I don’t know if it’s true or not. However, if Sunshine Corporation


    agrees to coborate with us and allow Nanshi Corporation to develop thend, the vice president


    agrees to notunch the investigation.”


    After a brief pause, Nan Chen lowered his voice and continued, “At the same time, he will turn a blind


    eye to Mr. Huang’s errors. I think you shouldn’t make this decision yourself, so you should discuss it


    with Mr. Huang. After all, it wasn’t easy for Mr. Huang to reach his current position, so I’m sure that he


    will be livid if you ruin his career. If that happens, you’ll lose the only pir of support you have in


    Vietnam, and that piece ofnd will be worthless anyway.”


    After Nan Chen said that, he red at Ouyang Duo coldly and sent chills running down his spine.


    I really underestimated this young man.


    An eye for an eye! That’s what he’s doing right now!


    Nan Chen did exactly what Ouyang Duo did to him to make Ouyang Duo reap the consequences of his


    actions.


    “Nan Chen, are you threatening me? I have been in this industry for a few decades, so do you think I’ll


    be scared?” Ouyang Duo still didn’t back down.


    “You’re wise and experienced, so I’m sure you can assess the situation logically and figure out the best


    course of action. You don’t have to give me an immediate reply. You can have a discussion with Mr.


    Huang first before giving me an answer. I still have a meeting, so I’ll get going soon. Oh, do you want


    another cup of coffee? Thepany’s coffee is always free of charge!”


    A cold smirk appeared on Nan Chen’s lips.
