Chapter 675
As Nan Chen hardly ever praised anyone, Ning Ran asked curiously, “Why are you impressed that he
didn''t acquire Sunshine Corporation?”
“If he had acquired thepany while the Ouyang family was having trouble, it might not sit well with
the other directors and upper management of Sunshine corporation. They might even go against Rong
Yi because of that. Besides, Sunshine Corporation is arge organization. To acquire thepany, a
huge amount of capital is required. It''s unlikely that Prosperity Holdings would have sufficient cash flow.
As such, their only way toplete the acquisition is through debt financing. However, if Sunshine
Corporation fails to perform well after the acquisition, thepany would end up in a very risky
position.”
Ning Ran nodded and replied, “Oh, I get it now. It''s like, if we force ourselves to eat when we are
already full, we would end up getting indigestion. You''ve told me the analogy before. So Rong Yi is
actually very smart. He chose not to acquire thepany but to be a shareholder instead and
observe the situation.”
Nan Chen looked at Ning Ran approvingly, acting like her homeroom teacher again.
However, he was not intending to lecture her but was instead, giving her a silentpliment.
“But there''s something I still don''t understand,” Ning Ran said, looking toward Nan Chen.
“What is it?”
“Even though Rong Yi did not acquire Sunshine Corporation, he had injected a lot of capital into it. If
thepany continues to be in a dump, wouldn''t he make a loss as well?” Ning Ran asked.
“That''s why that was just the first step. The woman at the press conference was Ouyang Li, and the
man was Rong Rui, Prosperity Holdings'' deputy CEO. He''s also Rong Yi''s younger brother. Prosperity
Holdings and Sunshine Corporation held thebined press conference to officially announce their
strategic partnership as well as their reallocation of resources in various areas. Among the three major
corporations in our province, Nanshi Corporation is currently thergest, followed by Sunshine
Corporation, then Prosperity Holdings. Now that the second and third ce had formed a strategic
alliance, Nanshi Corporation would naturally be under a lot of pressure. Because of the new
partnership, the shares of those twopanies have rocketed. As such, not only had Prosperity
Holdings made money, but they had also gotten themselves a great ally to go up against Nanshi
Corporation. Previously, I wasn''t able to figure out why they would suddenly return to Flower City, but
the reason is clear now. Very impressive indeed.”
Initially, Ning Ran was still rather confused, but after listening to Nan Chen''s exnation, she fully
understood the situation.
“So the alliance of the second and third ce is threatening the leader''s position?”
“Well, Nanshi Corporation had never intended to be the leader. We have just been focusing on our
business and have never thought of being a threat to anyone. However, obviously, others do not think
the same way. It''s clear that they are ganging up against Nanshi Corporation. Things have been going
too smoothly for Nanshi Corporation for the past few years. I was worried that a major crisis would hit
us sooner orter as things seemed too good to be true. Sure enough, the crisis has arrived,” Nan
Chen said with a worried expression.
Nan Chen was an extremely strong and capable man. The fact that he was worried about the
partnership between the other twopanies meant that it was a serious matter.
It would certainly change the dynamics of the business arena in the province.
Previously, it was a tripartite situation. However, after two of the threepanies joined forces, it would
definitely put pressure on Nanshi Corporation.
More importantly, Nanshi Corporation had bad blood with bothpanies.
“Don''t worry too much. Nanshi Corporation will be all right with you around.”
Nan Chen paced around a little before replying “Of course, I''m not afraid of them. I just think that it''s too
much of a coincidence. Immediately after I dealt with Sunshine Corporation, Rong Yi bought their
shares at a low price and became the secondrgest shareholder of Sunshine Corporation. Just when
our feud with the Ouyang family was finally about to be over, Ouyang Duo had suddenly run away and
ended up dying along the way. Although it was his choice to escape, it was unavoidable for the Ouyang
family to me his death on the Nan family. Naturally, they would hate the Nan family to the core.
Subsequently, Prosperity Holdings suddenly returned to Flower City. On the surface, it seemed like a
coincidence, but every step felt like it was carefully nned. If that''s really the case, it means that
Nanshi Corporation has fallen into a meticulously designed scheme. How many resources would be
required to carry out such an borate scheme? How powerful is the person who designed the
scheme?”
Of course, Nan Chen was just thinking out loud and not asking for Ning Ran''s opinion.
“Could it be that you''re overthinking?” Ning Ran asked softly.
“I hope so.”
“I''m sure that even if the Ouyang family and the Rong familybine forces, they won''t be able to
inflict harm on Nanshi Corporation,” Ning Ran said, showing her support for Nan Chen.
The man nced at her and asked, “Do you have that much trust in me?”
“Of course,” Ning Ran answered without hesitation.
“But why? Why do you trust me so much?”
“Because you''re not just any ordinary person. You''re Sir Chen! I remember that when we were trapped
on that ind back then, you weren''t able to walk and were practically crippled. Even so, you were still
able to help us escape. Now that you are functioning perfectly, I''m sure this little bit of stress is nothing
to you. You''ve got this!” Ning Ran eximed.
Nan Chen enjoyed listening to Ning Ran''s ttery, although it was slightly exaggerated.
“You''re right. I''ll be heading back to Flower City tomorrow. Nan Xing ising over. He misses the kids
and wants to visit them here. Don''t worry about anything and just focus on filming. Most importantly, be
safe,” Nan Chen reminded.
“I will. You have to stay safe as well, okay? By the way, you mentioned that you would give Ms. Tang a
job. Did you mean it?” Ning Ran asked.
“Of course I meant it. Why would I lie? She''s gotten numerous design awards in Epea and is very
famous in the industry. She just keeps a low profile and appears rather mysterious.”
“Mysterious?”
“Yup. We tried running a background check on her, but we were unable to find any information on her
family. Her family is registered in the capital, but other than herself, there''s no one else in her
household registry. However, judging from our conversation with her, it seems like she does have a
family. Moreover, I believe that she doesn''te from an ordinary family,” Nan Chen exined.
“Wow! Could we have encountered a formidable figure?”
“I''m not sure if she''s formidable, but she''s definitely capable. If we can get her to join Nanshi
Corporation, it would definitely be good news for us. I will definitely offer her a senior position with a
Ning Ran realized that Nan Chen had be more sensitive. Perhaps, it was because of the fact that
he had been spending more time with the kids.

“Sure. I will look for an opportunity to talk to her and get her to join Nanshi Corporation. However, she is
someone who has a mind of her own, and it wouldn''t be easy for me to convince her.”
“Just try your best. Oh, has Rong Rong left? Are you still in contact with her?” Nan Chen asked.
“We are not in touch currently. I haven''t seen her ever since ourst meal together. I guess Rong Yi told
her not to contact me after knowing about my rtionship with you,” Ning Ran replied with a sigh.
“How are you rted to me?” Nan Chen asked.
“How would I know!” Ning Ran was rendered speechless.
“If she contacts you, no matter what it is about, you have to let me know,” Nan Chen said.
“Are you wary of Rong Rong? Even if there''s bad blood between the Rong family and the Nan family, I
don''t think they would make use of Rong Rong to deal with us!”
“I''m just saying. I''m not suspecting her.”
