Chapter 986 Oh Dabao
The CEO of Nanshi Corporation''s marriage proposal at the international awards ceremony became the
number one trending topic.
It solidly secured the top spot and remained there for quite some time.
Not only did the trending topic top the charts on domestic tforms, but it also reached number one on
various social media tforms in multiple countries.
Netizens went wild—no, they went crazy.
One of theizensmented: Proposing at an international awards ceremony? What on earth is that
about? This is so inappropriate! But it''s so romantic! I want my future husband to propose to me like
that too!
Another wrote: The CEO is so charming. He''s even hotter than all the male celebrities at the ceremony.
Luckily she agreed to marry him. Otherwise, I''ll throw myself at him! Anyway, they''re a match made in
heaven. May they have a long and blissful life together!
Of course, there wereizens who remarked sarcastically: Proposing and utilizing public resources,
truly fitting for a capitalist; they certainly know how to make a statement!
Anotherizen wrote: Considering they already have children, is it necessary to go to such great
lengths for a proposal? Does it hold any significance? The Nan family must be incredibly affluent. How
much money was invested to orchestrate such an borate proposal in such a setting?
Different individuals may interpret an event or incident in various ways, depending on their perspectives
and viewpoints.
What was intriguing was that in the aftermath of this event, the stock price of Nanshi Corporation
experienced a remarkable surge, skyrocketing by an astonishing ten percent!
ording to experts'' analysis, traditional culture had long emphasized the value of starting a family
before pursuing a career.
For the majority, a man who had not settled down would often be regarded as unreliable and unsteady.
In fact, there had been numerous instances where prestigious family businesses had prohibited their
heirs who had not yet proposed marriage from assuming leadership positions.
Nan Chen''s proposal signified hismitment to starting a family, which was believed to bring about a
sense of stability. This development was expected to have a positive impact on the overall prospects of
Nanshi Corporation.
The market operated ording to its own mechanisms. Irrespective of the underlying factors, a
substantial increase in stock prices was universally perceived as a positive development.
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhe was consumed by anxiety as the shareholders and executives of Nanshi
Corporation were desperately trying to reach Nan Chen, but upon failing to do so, they kept calling the
assistant instead.
Although the marriage proposal was a personal matter for Nan Chen, his high-ranking position meant
that it would still have an impact on thepany as well.
Consequently, everyone was eager to know Nan Chen''s next steps and whether Nanshi Corporation
should issue a statement.
This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.
However, Nan Chen seemed unreachable, as he had even kept the proposal a secret from Jiang Zhe.
Jiang Zhe felt deeply hurt. He had always been Nan Chen''s most trusted employee, yet Nan Chen had
chosen to withhold this information from him.
However, Nan Chen had not deliberately hidden it from him. He merely wished to spare Jiang Zhe the
additional burden of his personal affairs and ensure that the assistant remained focused on the
company''s affairs. Jiang Zhe should concentrate on handling thepany''s problems. I''ll handle my
personal matters independently.
Meanwhile,izens anxiously awaited any sign of activity from the official Nanshi Corporation social
media ount, hoping for some form of announcement or update.
Finally, a few hourster, Nanshi Corporation updated its official social media ount with a sinct
yet impactful message: Yes!
Once again, theizens went into a frenzy.
One of themmented: How cocky! What''s there to be so arrogant about just because you
seeded in your proposal? Are you abandoning your indifferent image? Why don''t you do a victory
dance too?
Another person threatened: Look at how smug he is, stealing my beloved Ms. Mi and still parading
around with such arrogance. Don''t you dare provoke me because if I evere across you, I''ll give
you a good beating!
Someone replied to hisment: I don''t believe you!
Then came a flurry of responses, each one expressing doubt that theizen in question had the
audacity to confront Nan Chen in person and carry out their threat.
Oneizen shifted his focus to a more practical matter: How much is the wedding gift? Has he given
her everything? If not, we won''t let him marry Ms. Mi!
Another group ofizens chimed in: The wedding gift is the Pearl of the Lustrous Dream, worth nearly
a billion. Oh, never mind. You wouldn''t understand what I''m talking about!
Aizen exined: I did a quick search and learned that Pearl of the Lustrous Dream is a one and
only item in the world. With that betrothal gift, he can easily marry a goddess!
Another person echoed: You peasant, just a single gemstone from the Pearl of the Lustrous Dream can
sustain you and your cats for tens of thousands of years!
Someone else jumped in and sneered: Oh, he can''t even afford to own a cat! He''s just a broked!
Nan Chen''s proposal sparked an online frenzy, leading to various quirky discussions and topics.
One popr variety show in a neighboring country even organized a debate on whether wealthy
individuals should publicly propose marriage.
People from all walks of life expressed their opinions, fueling ongoing debates and creating a lively
atmosphere.
Meanwhile, in a hotel abroad, Ning Ran, with the help of Cheng Xiangyun, carefully removed the
ne from her neck and handed it over to the staff for safe transportation back to their home
country.
Nan Chen sat beside her, scrolling through his phone and reading the onlinements.
While some criticized him, most of them congratted him and addressed him as their “brother-inw.”
Some even had the audacity to directly address him as “Daddy.”
Ning Ran slipped out of her gown, refreshed her makeup, and changed intofortable ts and
casual clothing. Then, she copsed onto the sofa, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Everything still felt like a dream, as if she had not woken up yet.
Nan Chen approached and reached out to touch her smooth face.
Ning Ran pushed his hand away. “Why didn''t you tell me in advance?”
Nan Chen knitted his brows. “Isn''t it more exciting to have a sudden surprise? If I had told you in
advance, where would be the fun in that?”
“But it was broadcasted live worldwide! I wasn''t even prepared. Weren''t you afraid I''d faint on stage?”
Ning Ran retorted.
“I knew you''d be fine,” Nan Chen replied calmly.
“What made you think I could handle that?” she asked again.
Nan Chen shook his head. “No, if you had fainted, I''d simply say you were overwhelmed with
happiness and then carry you off the stage. It''s that simple.”
His reply left Ning Ran bereft of words. What kind of person would say something like that?
“I''m curious. When did you start nning all of this?” Ning Ran inquired.
Nan Chen answered honestly, “When I found out you were nominated for the Best Neer Award.”
“But being nominated doesn''t guarantee anything. What if I hadn''t won the award?” Ning Ran
questioned further.
“You being nominated means you''ll definitely win. No one canpete with you,” Nan Chen replied
confidently.
“Are you confident in me or in yourself?”
Nan Chen replied decisively, “Both.”
Ning Ran gave in. Oh, well. These capitalists do possess immense power and seem to have everything
under their control.
“What if I hadn''t won? What were you going to do?” Ning Ran asked again.
“There are no ''ifs.'' You''d win. I''ve said it before, no one canpete with you,” Nan Chen reiterated.
“All right then. Did youe up with the idea yourself?”
“I worked out the n with someone.” As he said those words, a hint of a smile could be seen in his
eyes, though his face remained expressionless.
“Who? Jiang Zhe?” she asked.
Nan Chen shook his head. “Of course not. He mainly handlespany matters for me. I rarely involve
him in my personal affairs.”
That got Ning Ran even more curious. “Who else then? Who came up with such a weird marriage
proposal idea?”
Nan Chen arched his brows. “You know the person. Think carefully.”
Ning Ran thought for a moment. “Qiao Zhan?” “No, he''s neither clever nor romantic enough toe up
with such a n.” Nan Chen dismissed her answer.
“Nan Xing?” Ning Ran threw out another name. He''s a Casanova. I bet he''s the mastermind behind
this!
Nan Chen continued shaking his head. “He did assist with customizing my outfit for the asion, but
he''s not the mastermind behind it.”
“Who else could it be? I can''t think of anyone else.” Ning Ran sighed. “Besides Jiang Zhe and Qiao
Zhan, I don''t think there''s anyone else you trust. Oh, just tell me the answer!”
Ning Ran ran out of patience.
“Come on, just take another wild guess. You know the person very well!” Nan Chen gave her a hint.
“Is it Ou? No way. Impossible! Her expression would have given it away if she were the one,” she
deduced.
Nan Chen shook his head. “The person is much smarter than all the people you mentioned. How could
you not think of him?”
Realization dawned on Ning Ran when she heard that. Smarter than all the people I mentioned?
She eximed, “Dabao, that boy! How dare he team up with you against me! I''ll teach him a lesson
when I get back!”
