Chapter 710


    After Nan Chen ended the call with Erbao, he turned around and saw an ordinary-looking woman in a


    regr outfit observing him from afar.


    Since Nan Chen wasn''t familiar with her, he couldn''t be bothered to greet her. Hence, he started


    walking away, for the bid was starting soon.


    However, Ouyang Li blocked his path. “Are you Nan Chen?”


    It was obvious that she already knew the answer to her question. After all, it was impossible for her not


    to know him.


    Well aware of this, Nan Chen ignored her and got ready to walk around her.


    Yet, Ouyang Li stopped him in his tracks again. “I''m asking you a question. Are you Nan Chen?”


    Nan Chen responded impatiently, “I am. What do you want?”


    “So, you''re the one who got my dad killed?” Ouyang Li asked.


    Nan Chen wasn''t interested in answering the dull question at all. It was Ouyang Duo who wanted to


    harm the Nan family first. It was his failure that resulted in the current oue. How can Ouyang Li not


    know about this?


    “I don''t know you, and I don''t know your dad as well. It''spletely pointless for us to interact as I


    know nothing about this matter. Please step aside, or I''m going to have to call the guards.” Nan Chen


    was polite enough to ask Ouyang Li to move away instead of pushing her directly.


    “Nan Chen, my dad died because of you. I will avenge my dad and make your family pay for your sins.


    I want you to suffer ten times more than my dad!” Ouyang Li threatened.


    Nan Chen continued to ignore her and said nothing while remaining indifferent.


    Just then, a stylish and beautiful woman walked toward them. It was Yu Xiang. “Ms. Ouyang, the


    auction has started. Please be seated now.”


    Nan Chen was still standing next to them. While Yu Xiang was speaking to Ouyang Li, she peeked at


    him for a split second before retracting her gaze.


    Yu Xiang felt slightly intimidated to look at Nan Chen because of his domineering aura.


    Ouyang Li waved her hand dismissively, signaling Yu Xiang to leave. She still had something to tell


    Nan Chen.


    Seeing this, Yu Xiang had no choice but to walk away. If she was being honest, she didn''t want Ouyang


    Li to interact with Nan Chen too much before the auction''s result was announced.


    After all, one was bound to have a slip of the tongue if one spoke too much. Yu Xiang thought they


    should justpete without excessive conversations.


    Unfortunately, Ouyang Li was the boss, and Yu Xiang couldn''t direct the former''s actions.


    As for Ouyang Li, she merely wanted to threaten Nan Chen and make her presence known, for she


    was pissed off after he looked down on her.


    However, she soon realized Nan Chen''s presence was causing her indescribable stress.


    All he did was stand there quietly, but it was already enough to stress Ouyang Li out. She felt inferior


    because of the pressure.


    It was a terrible feeling for Ouyang Li as she had never been taken seriously. Thus, she would be


    furious whenever someone underestimated her.


    Yet, Nan Chen was an arrogant person who always held his head high.


    Even when he was facing prominent figures, he would never bother to treat them with much respect, let


    alone Ouyang Li.


    In a way, Ouyang Li brought trouble upon herself.


    Nheless, she refused to ept this. She wanted Nan Chen to look her straight in the eye, talk to


    her, and remember her.


    Yet, Nan Chen didn''t take her seriously at all. Not only did he not argue with her, but he also didn''t


    spare her a proper nce.


    After the minute-long confrontation, the auction officially began when the host went on the stage.


    Ouyang Li had no choice but to sit down at her designated seat.


    This bidding session wasn''t like the others, where the person with the highest bid would win thend.


    Since Serenity Street was an old street in Flower City, it represented the prosperity Flower City once


    achieved. Other than that, there were also some ancient buildings on the street, which were meaningful


    to Flower City.


    Hence, this wasn''t a project wherepanies could simply demolish everything and rebuild the street.


    Some buildings could be removed and reconstructedpletely, but some must be maintained in their


    original state, and only certain parts could be reformed or slightly adjusted. There must be a bnce


    between the city''s development and preserving the street''s history.


    All this must be achieved through skillful nning. Precise decisions must be made on which buildings


    to demolish, keep, modify, and rearrange.


    In addition to offering a price for the bidding, thepany must prepare a detailed proposal.


    After the proposals were collected and handed to the rted departments, a team of evaluation experts


    from all around the world would grade each idea. Subsequently, a winner would be chosen.


    The presentation sequence was already decided previously by drawing lots. Thepany under


    Nanshi Corporation would be thest to present the proposal.


    To Ouyang Li, that day was her time to shine, as she already knew most of the content in Nanshi


    Corporation''s proposition for the tender.


    A week ago, Yu Xiang, who had always been staying at Archulea, suddenly called Sunshine


    Corporation''s new CEO. She stated she was a former ssmate of Nanshi Corporation''s owner''s


    assistant, and that she could be a useful addition to thepany.


    After assessing Yu Xiang''s words, Ouyang Li thought she made sense, and her n was worth a try.


    Thus, Yu Xiang arrived in Flower City and became an important person in charge of this project.


    Not only that, but Ouyang Li also promised Yu Xiang that thetter would be promoted to deputy CEO if


    this project could be aplished.


    Soon, Yu Xiang lived up to Ouyang Li''s expectations. Yu Xiang invited Jiang Zhe out on a date and got


    into a rtionship with the man sessfully.


    Next, Yu Xiang gifted a customized watch with a location tracker and a listening device installed.


    When Jiang Zhe wore the watch to attend a project meeting with the senior executives, the discussion


    was heard by Yu Xiang''s team.


    That way, Yu Xiang had basically taken control of Nanshi Corporation''s proposal. Once she found out


    about the idea and the price offered, all she had to do was to amend the n and lower the price.

    With that, she could weaken the advantage held by the opponents.


    That was the reason why Ouyang Li was certain the victory would be hers. Now, she was merely


    waiting for Nan Chen and his team to be humiliated.


    The twopanies assigned by Sunshine Corporation were using collusive tendering against Nanshi


    Corporation.


    One of the teams would use a n designed by Sunshine Corporation, while the other would use the


    plot they overheard from Nanshi Corporation.


    With the attacks from both sides, it was impossible for Nanshi Corporation to win this auction.


    When Sunshine Corporation''s team was presenting the proposal to the experts, Ouyang Li nced at


    Nan Chen repeatedly.


    Yet, Nan Chen had never once raised his head. His gaze was fixated on the tablet in his hands while


    he moved his fingers around the screen asionally. He seemed to be busy with work.


    It was as if what others said was none of his business at all.


    Even when Ouyang Li''s subordinates were presenting an idea simr to Nanshi Corporation''s, Nan


    Chen didn''t look remotely surprised.


    Seeing that, Ouyang Li started to panic. How can this man be so calm? Could it be that he wasn''t


    involved in the nning process, so he knew nothing about it? But that''s impossible. Nan Chen is the


    CEO, after all. This is a significant project, and he''s even attending the bidding personally. He definitely


    cares about this project!


    Although Ouyang Li felt anxious, she still tried to reassure herself. He''s probably just pretending to be


    calm. I shouldn''t be worried about it. There''s nothing to worry about.


    Finally, it was Nanshi Corporation''s turn to present the proposal to the experts.


    Ouyang Li and Yu Xiang exchanged nces and smiled.


    Nanshi Corporation''s solution had been modified and used by Ouyang Li''spany. If Nanshi


    Corporation repeated the same proposal, Ouyang Li would immediately object to the idea and use


    them of giarism.


    Unexpectedly, Nanshi Corporation''s person in charge presented a different solution than what Ouyang


    Li knew.


    Not only was it a distinct idea, but the thought process of the idea was a stark contrast to what Ouyang


    Li discovered beforehand. No one would ever associate the two concepts together.
