Chapter 868 Well Wishes To Everyone

The atmosphere turned awkward again. Everyone was looking at Nan Chen, and since he did not move, no one did

as well.

Ouyang Li almost exploded with anger. Are these people deliberately embarrassing me? I'm footing the bill today,

so why are they all looking at Nan Chen?

Nan Chen noticed that everyone was looking at him, and since he did not wish to humiliate Ouyang Li too much, he

raised his glass.

Only then did everyone follow suit.

Rong Yi watched everything unfold and noted quietly that the Nanshi Corporation's foundation in Flower City was

deeper than he had anticipated.

With Nanshi Corporation being embroiled in a fraudulent accounting scandal, logically, these snobbish businessmen,

who've always seized the opportunity to attack a person who has lost power, should be staying away from the Nan

family. However, they don't seem to have even the slightest intention to distance themselves from Nan Chen. On

the contrary, they lavished him with all of their attention. This can only mean one thing. They have faith in the Nan

family and know that the negative news won't have a significant effect on the company.

It was easy for a company to have confidence in itself but difficult for most of its corporate peers or competitors to

do the same. It required absolute capability, a solid foundation, and an edge in the competitive market that no one

could compete with.

Ouyang Li had always thought she could drive the Nan family out of Flower City and even bring down Nanshi

Corporation if she teamed up with Prosperity Holdings.

For a while, Rong Yi was convinced that was possible too, but given the current circumstances, it was clear that

neither Prosperity Holdings, which had returned to Flower City, nor Sunshine Corporation, which had been secretly

operating in the city, could effectively compete with Nanshi Corporation.

No one will believe that Nanshi Company will collapse or that Nan Chen will lose. This kind of influence is simply

terrifying.

“Please say a few words, Sir Chen,” someone suggested.

Nan Chen did not wish to steal the spotlight, for he only came to meet Rong Yi.

Since these people insisted that I say a few words, it'll be too insensitive of me to keep silent. If I did, however, I'd

be upstaging Ouyang Li and putting her in an awkward situation again. She's already very embarrassed. If I made

her look bad again, it'd seem like I was bullying her.

Despite not caring about bullying others, he still felt that bullying a woman was a little demeaning.

Hence, Nan Chen raised his glass and stood up. “Thank you, Ms. Li, for your hospitality, and thank you all. I wish

everyone well.”

Instead of wishing them all success in their businesses, he merely conveyed his best wishes.

He did not utter a word of nonsense, which was typical of him. Only when everyone was well would all be well.

The word “well” encompassed everything. One could interpret it as only when everyone was well would all be well.

In other words, if anyone harmed him or Nanshi Corporation, he would ensure that nothing good would come to

them.

Ouyang Li was initially irritated, but as soon as she heard Nan Chen address her, her heart began to race.

This is the first time Nan Chen mentioned me. The first time!

She felt a sweet, illusory sense of bliss that thrilled her despite how artificial it seemed.

As such, she was so overjoyed that she continued holding her wine glass up as everyone drank, gazing at Nan Chen

longingly in a daze.

Everyone witnessed the scene and laughed silently to themselves. Sir Chen's charm is truly problematic. Every

woman who sees him wants nothing more than to throw themselves at him.

Rong Yi also noticed that something was off with Ouyang Li and could not bear to see it, so he gave a light cough

before saying, “A toast to you, Ms. Li. Thank you for the hospitality.”

While saying that, he raised his glass and took the initiative to clink glasses with her. The clink of the glass finally

woke Ouyang Li from her stupor.

Ouyang Li had never been smitten with anyone. She had never even been in love. Yet, when a person like her, who

did not easily invest in emotions, fell in love, it was like an uncontrollable tide.

She was also shocked by it. Feeling ashamed and regretful for her behavior, she smiled awkwardly, tilted her head,

and downed the entire glass of red wine.

Then, after sitting down, she pinched her leg hard, trying to let the pain clear her head.

She suddenly felt that Nan Chen was truly scary. He's an attractive devil who can seduce people's souls without

leaving a trace.

The dinner was finally on the right track. After three rounds of drinking, everyone gradually relaxed and began

chatting enthusiastically.

Nan Chen never liked talking excessively. Other than occasionally replying out of politeness, he never took the

initiative to ask questions.

Hence, he was still sober and silent when everyone was a little drunk. On the pretext of feeling unwell, he told

everyone to carry on while he went out for a walk.

There was a golf course outside. Nan Chen was itching to play as he had been too busy recently to do so.

Even though the golf course had lighting so one could play at night, he resisted the impulse to play after having

imbibed.

He looked behind him after walking a few steps, and sure enough, Rong Yi followed him out.

Clever people would understand one another even if they were rivals.

Although Nan Chen did not summon him along, Rong Yi knew that the reason the former came out was to speak

with him.

At Nan Chen's nod, Rong Yi took a few quick steps and caught up with him.

“I heard that you're good at playing golf, Mr. Chen. Want to compete?” the latter asked with a smile.

“No. Exercising after drinking is bad for your health. Let's compete later,” Nan Chen replied lightly.

“You've never lost, right?” Rong Yi was implying something with his words.

“Never.” Similarly, Nan Chen also did not give in.

“Those who have never lost can't afford to lose,” Rong Yi said with a smile.

Nan Chen's gaze turned cold. “What makes you so sure, Mr. Rong, that I can't afford to lose?” he asked.

“Your actions say it all. I can't believe that you kidnapped the whistleblower's wife and kid to escape accountability

for financial fraud. You're utterly despicable. Frankly, I'm very disappointed.” Hatred was evident in Rong Yi's tone

as he spoke.

Nan Chen was taken aback by his words. “Kidnap?”

The other man shot him a disdainful look. “Don't play dumb. The whistleblower's child is studying in elementary

school in Xyperia. You had someone kidnap his child to force him to retract his statement. Are you still trying to

deny it?”

Nan Chen remained silent after hearing that. Did Qiao Zhan organize it? Although I did provide instructions to try to

contact the family members of the finance personnel, my subordinates informed me that they had only been able

to get in touch with the man's parents in the country, with no mention of his wife and kids. Besides, Qiao Zhan's

men did nothing to his parents. They merely inquired about the situation to get his parents to call their son and

convince him not to go against Nanshi Corporation. Even though Qiao Zhan has the Nan family's security team at

his disposal and could mobilize some external resources of Nanshi Corporation, he would never consider

kidnapping.

He knew very well that Qiao Zhan would have told him in advance even if he had actually done that.

If Qiao Zhan didn't do it, who did? The culprit even committed the crime abroad. It would require some capability to

seek out someone's wife and child worldwide.

A person appeared in Nan Chen's mind. Could it be him again? Why would he meddle in Nanshi Corporation's

affairs, too?

“It looks like you truly don't dare to admit it, Mr. Chen. Fine then. Although everyone claims that Nanshi Corporation

has always acted with integrity, it appears that your company is everything but,” Rong Yi remarked mockingly.

Nan Chen let out a cold snort. “If you firmly believe that I did it, I can't be bothered to explain myself.”

“Are you admitting to it?” Rong Yi pressed on.

Nan Chen merely scoffed in response.
