Snap——!
As soon as the call was cut off, the phone turned into an afterimage and slammed against the smooth floor!
There was an explosion, and the fuselage instantly fell apart, with fragments and parts sputtering and scattered all over the floor.
Nangong Chen’s chest rose and fell violently, and his heavy breathing was particularly clear in the quiet office.
He punched the heavy solid wood desk with a loud, dull sound.
Su Xia, who was sitting on the velvet sofa nearby, was startled and stood up.
She approached cautiously, her voice trembling: “Chen, what’s wrong? Who made you so angry?”
Nangong Chen ignored her and just sat down heavily in the large president’s chair.
He closed his eyes, rubbed the stinging temples vigorously, stretched his hand back, and the assistant who had always stood silently immediately understood and respectfully placed a mobile phone of the same model into his palm.
“Those two old losers from the Xia family,” he said in a low voice, his tone full of confusion, “can’t even handle Lu Qingrang?”
This is so strange.
Everything was so wrong.
When did this feeling of losing control begin?
It seems to have been since his and Su Xia’s much-anticipated grand wedding.
First, there was a subtle change in the direction of the policy, and several approval documents that were originally a sure thing were repeatedly shelved.
Immediately afterwards, people changed. The attitudes of those partners who had been obedient to him began to become ambiguous.
What frightened him even more was that the investment acumen that Nangong Group was proud of was rapidly failing.
In the past, every major decision he made and every huge investment he made were successful, and his wealth would only grow bigger and bigger.
But now, the market seems to be deliberately working against him, and several recent large projects have ended up in the embarrassing situation of mixed profits and losses.
And the scene where Lu Qingrang presented white chrysanthemums to everyone at the press conference pushed him and the family behind him to the forefront of public opinion.
The group’s stock price plummeted in response, and it was dazzlingly green for several days in a row. It spent huge amounts of money and still failed to stabilize the decline.
He tried to spread public opinion and divert attention, but the other party seemed to be on guard.The official went out to refute the rumors personally and gave him a resounding slap in the face, making him lose face.
And there’s the stalled Skydome project, with repairs progressing at an agonizingly slow pace.The project leader is still dealing with him, using various excuses to delay the completion of system maintenance.
“Mr. Xia and Mrs. Xia are here.” The assistant’s voice interrupted his messy thoughts.
“Let them come in.” Nangong Chen said coldly.
The door of the office was pushed open, and Xia Guanshan and Qin Lanru walked in one after another. The arrogance they had shown in front of Lu Qingrang was gone.
“Mr. Chen.” The two greeted in unison, with respectful gestures.
Nangong Chen seemed not to have heard anything and still turned his back to them.
It wasn’t until the suffocating silence spread in the air that he slowly turned the back of his chair and glanced at the two of them with sharp eyes.
“As Lu Qingrang’s parents, you can’t even handle him?” His voice was calm at first, but became more and more irritable as he spoke, “Trash!”
“You’d better come up with a solution for me.” Nangong Chen stood up, put his hands on the table, and leaned forward, “Don’t forget your precious son who was sent abroad by me.”
He narrowed his eyes slightly, his voice was as cold as ice, and said word by word:
“You know.”
When Qin Lanru heard that it was about her son, she panicked for a moment and defended almost without thinking: “Mr. Chen, we deliberately chose today to find him, but it’s still useless! He can’t get enough oil and salt now, it’s too much!”
Nangong Chen sat back on the large leather chair and raised his legs gracefully: “You’d better smooth things over before talking.”
“Xia Guanshan, don’t think that I don’t know about Xia Wanlan’s private dealings with you.”
Xia Guanshan was shocked and his pupils shrank suddenly.
“Do you need me to remind you how the account was settled last month? Or do you think I, Nangong Chen, am so easy to fool?” Nangong Chen’s voice was cold.
The last bit of luck the two of them had was gone in an instant, and fine cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
“Yes…right!Qin Lanru suddenly remembered something, “When we first met Qing Rang, we could still say a few words.”It wasn’t until a gangster rushed out to protect him and yelled at us that Qingrang’s attitude completely changed!”
“right!It’s that kid!”Xia Guanshan answered quickly, with anger in his tone: “Like a dog that protects its owner, it protects people to death!”
Su Xia, who had settled back on the sofa, slowly sat up straight after hearing this, and something strange flashed in her eyes.
Nangong Chen didn’t notice her change, he just squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then told the assistant beside him: “Go and find the photo of Li Wen or Xu Wen.”
The assistant understood immediately and quickly called up Xu Wen’s information on the tablet.
The young man in the photo is wearing take-out clothes. His complexion is slightly dark, but his handsome outline cannot be concealed, but there is a bit of desolation between his eyebrows.
Nangong Chen tapped the screen with his fingertips: “Is it him?”
The Xia family couple tried hard to identify it for a while: “Yes!yes!It’s this guy!”
Nangong Chen was thoughtful: “I actually forgot about this kid. This kid’s brother owes a lot of money. How can he resist not helping his parents?”
He frowned slightly, “His parents really can’t contact him, they are a loser!”
After thinking for a short time, he suddenly changed the topic: “The Nangong family has a transportation line, which I leave to you.”
The couple were both stunned, unable to keep up with this jumping train of thought.
“This…Mr. Chen, which transportation line is this?”Xia Guanshan asked tentatively, with an ominous premonition rising in his heart.
“Hmph, it’s the one that was turned off not long ago.”Nangong Chen said calmly.
Xia Guanshan turned pale in an instant and almost shouted in panic: “Mr. Chen!That line cannot be moved now!The news is so tight, if this is found out, we, we will all be shot!”
“I, Nangong Chen, can’t speak anymore?!”Nangong Chen slammed the table and shouted sternly.
The air in the office suddenly solidified.
“Let’s take that kid’s family as the first batch of goods, and then help them contact them after it’s delivered overseas.If that kid wants to save people, he has to obey our rules.”Nangong Chen said indifferently.
He raised his eyes to look at the two people with earth-colored faces, and his voice was still cold:
“You’d better remember that all the expenses of your precious son who is living and drinking abroad will be recorded in the Nangong family’s account.”
He stood up slowly and looked at them condescendingly:
“Before this line was closed, you had a great time getting money.Now, it’s your turn to contribute.”
Xia Guanshan and Qin Lanru looked at each other, seeing despair and compromise in each other’s eyes.
“It’s…Mr. Chen.”The two lowered their heads, their voices so weak that they were almost inaudible.
The two of them almost bowed and moved backward out of the office.
The heavy solid wood door slowly closed, waiting for the two old guys to go out.
Su Xia, who had been sitting quietly on the sofa, made some moves.She raised her eyes and looked at Nangong Chen with a gentle tone:
“Chen, would it be too hasty to restart that line now?”
Nangong Chen loosened his tie irritably.
“The old guys in the clan can’t sit still anymore. The group’s losses this month are far greater than expected. I can’t stop them using the old methods.”
He turned to look at Su Xia with sharp eyes: “These two old guys from the Xia family…” He snorted coldly and said no more.
The assistant standing aside took half a step forward at the right time and asked in a low voice: “Mr. Chen, will all aspects of this line be handled by the Xia family?”
The corner of Nangong Chen’s mouth curled up:
“Leave it all to them.”
A flash of understanding flashed in the assistant’s eyes, and he bowed slightly:
“Understood.”
