Chapter 607 A Precious Gem That Might Burn

Ouyang Duo still could not believe Nan Zhengde would agree to his suggestion without hesitation.

He was still a little suspicious. I didn’t think this old man would give up his ownership of Nanshi Corporation so easily.

It’s like he didn’t even hesitate or put up a fight at all. He must have some tricks up his sleeve.

Given that Nan Zhengde had toiled in the business world for several decades, Ouyang Duo believed he would not

easily let anyone step all over him. Nanshi Corporation wouldn’t have achieved great success had he been a

coward.

Ouyang Duo was still considerably skeptical because, so far, everything had turned out well.

He planned to get Nan Xing to marry Ouyang Qing.

Once Nan Xing obtained the shares after marrying Ouyang Qing, the shares would automatically become their

matrimonial assets, provided that they did not sign any other supplementary agreements. That was Ouyang Duo’s

first move.

Next, he would get Nan Xing to transfer the assets to Ouyang Qing’s account. Sunshine Corporation would then

step in and buy out Ouyang Qing’s shares at the lowest price possible. In other words, Sunshine Corporation would

directly acquire Nanshi Corporation.

Should his dream come true, the Ouyangs’ Sunshine Corporation would become the one and only conglomerate in

the province!

He would also become the most powerful person in the region.

Nonetheless, the fact that his dream was not as far-fetched as it seemed frightened him. Or rather, he felt a tad

insecure.

Despite being on the winning side, he was overwhelmed with anxiety.

Ouyang Duo was like a thief who knew he would soon get his hands on a precious gem that he had been coveting

for some time but worried it might burn him or even explode.

“Why did you agree to my proposal so quickly?” Ouyang Duo asked while staring at Nan Zhengde.

He hoped to read the expression on the elderly man’s face but to no avail. Nan Zhengde was calm and did not

show any changes in his emotions.

“It’s a good suggestion. And you’re right. Nanshi Corporation can’t operate without a leader. We should do as you

said,” Nan Zhengde said.

“All right. When is Nan Xing returning?”

“Tomorrow,” Nan Zhengde answered steadily.

“Can he come back earlier?” Ouyang Duo wanted to end this as soon as possible, as he no longer wanted to live in

fear.

“I’ll ask someone to get in touch with him. If possible, let’s get it done by tonight.”

“Sure. If that’s the case, I’ll wait for your update. I’m gonna go now.” Ouyang Duo stood up.

“Why are you in a hurry? It’s almost lunchtime. Stay and eat with us.”

“Oh, no. We can always celebrate once Nan Xing and Qing are married.”

“All right then. Chai Hua, see Mr. Ouyang out,” Nan Zhengde said.

Chai Hua walked over. “This way, Mr. Ouyang.”

Ouyang Duo waved Nan Zhengde goodbye, and the latter reciprocated.

After taking a few steps, Ouyang Duo turned around to glance at Nan Zhengde.

The elderly man still had a smile on his face, but there was a cold glint in his eyes.

Panicked, Ouyang Duo strode and left the house in haste.

Meanwhile, Feng Wan, who had been hiding in a corner the whole time and listening to them, walked out and said,

“It’s really him! You’ve figured that out, haven’t you?”

“Why didn’t you nab him and force him to release Nan Chen?” Feng Wan questioned Nan Zhengde furiously.

“He must have planned this for years and have everything sorted out. We might risk putting Chen in danger had we

acted on impulse,” Nan Zhengde explained.

“You’re right. But why did he want Nan Xing to marry Ouyang Qing? By doing what he has done, he’s already made

an enemy out of the Nan family. Yet, he still wants to become our in-law?”

“Do you really not know what’s going on?” Nan Zhengde asked while looking at Feng Wan.

“I know what you mean. Ouyang Duo just wants to turn Nan Xing’s shares into matrimonial assets. But even if they

eventually file for a divorce, he could only get half of the shares. Unless he could get Nan Xing to transfer all his

shares to Ouyang Qing and lay his hands on Ouyang Qing’s shares.”

Nan Zhengde shook his head. “Nope. He can’t do that. He’ll pay for the shares.”

“Why? He could obtain those shares without paying a single cent.”

“Nanshi Corporation is a giant conglomerate. A hostile takeover will cause an uproar in the business world, and

everyone in Nanshi Corporation will protest against his action. Nanshi Corporation has tens of thousands of

employees all over the world. Even if he becomes the new boss, he’ll not be able to handle the situation,” Nan

Zhengde explained.

He continued, “But things would turn out differently had he acquired the shares of the company. Had he followed

through with the legal processes, he’ll be regarded as the legitimate boss, and people will respect him for that. In

other words, acquiring the company shares is a more civilized way to cover up his unscrupulous action.”

“But what he’s really doing is robbing! He locked Nan Chen away so that he could carry out his plan. Isn’t this

robbing?” Feng Wan bellowed.

“Yes, it is. That’s why he’s playing some tricks to put a gloss on his plan.”

“What should we do now?”

“We’ll listen to him. Just do as he said,” Nan Zhengde replied steadily.

“But Nanshi Corporation…”

“Keeping Nan Chen alive is more important. We can always start from scratch.” Nan Zhengde then turned to a

housekeeper and asked, “Is lunch ready? I’m a little hungry.”

“The lunch will be ready soon, Mr. Nan.”

Feng Wan expressed her dismay, “What is wrong with you? We’re going through a crisis, yet you’re more worried

about your lunch?”

“Food is everything. I’m not going to give up my lunch.”

Feng Wan sighed. “It’ll be an utter embarrassment if Ouyang Duo takes over Nanshi Corporation. I would be too

ashamed to continue living in Flower City.”

Nan Zhengde’s lips curled into a smile. “Ouyang Duo will definitely banish us out of Flower City should that happen.

He’ll force us to leave the country and live overseas. So you better be mentally prepared.”

Feng Wan began to panic. “I’m not going anywhere. Why do I have to leave the country at this age? You want me to

die in another country?”

Nan Zhengde responded with a sigh. “Why do women have to relate everything to life and death? Did I say we’re

not coming back?”

“I don’t care. I’m not leaving, and that’s final. Ouyang Duo can torture me to death, but I’m going nowhere!” Feng

Wan roared.

“Can you calm down? We’ve gone through all kinds of tribulations over the past decades, and we’ll get through this

together. But I don’t think this is going to end anytime soon. We’ll have to proceed with the marriage and get Nan

Xing to take over the company,” Nan Zhengde deduced.

He continued explaining, “According to Nanshi Corporation’s regulations, the replacement of the CEO must be

justified with a valid reason, and this move must obtain the board of directors’ approval. Nan Xing is an infamous

playboy. Do you think the board of directors will agree to hand the company to him?”

“Besides, some directors are also eyeing that position, and they know what Ouyang Duo has in mind. Do you think

they will allow him to take over Nanshi Corporation without putting up a fight? If Ouyang Duo thinks he can absorb

Nanshi Corporation into his business empire by tearing the Nan family apart, he’s nothing more than a naive man

who’s set to fail,” he added.

Nan Zhengde waved his hand in the air. “Oh, forget it. I don’t think you understand what I just said. Let’s have

lunch!”

Feng Wan begged to differ. “Of course I understand. I understand every word. So you think Ouyang Duo will fail?”

“Not necessarily. We’ll see.”
