Later that day, Nan Chen was having dinner with his family at Raining Pavilion when he received a call from Jiang
Zhe, who said he had something to report.
Nan Chen explained that he was having dinner. He told Jiang Zhe he could come over to talk to him if possible or
wait until the next day to talk at the company.
Naturally, Jiang Zhe agreed to come to Raining Pavilion to talk to him. Through his tone, Nan Chen could sense that
it was an urgent matter.
After dinner, Nan Chen was chatting with his kids when Jiang Zhe arrived.
Jiang Zhe already had dinner, so Nan Chen brought him to the study room.
“I have two matters to report. First, our branch in South Adrune is in trouble. One state suddenly passed a bill that
prohibits Chinese companies from getting involved in telecommunications projects on the grounds that they are a
threat to their data security. As a result, our branch has been forced to pull out, resulting in a significant financial
loss,” Jiang Zhe revealed.
Nan Chen didn't respond and signaled for Jiang Zhe to continue.
Jiang Zhe continued, “I also heard that Ouyang Qing retracted her testimony in prison and blamed Ouyang Li as the
culprit. Ouyang Li is falsely accused, and she may be forced to resign. Sunshine Corporation has a policy similar to
Nanshi Corporation, which states that if a CEO is involved in a criminal case, their position will be suspended. The
board will hold an emergency meeting tomorrow morning to vote on Ouyang Li's resignation.”
Nan Chen knitted his brows. “Did Ouyang Li do anything to stop the others from conspiring against her?”
“Yes. Someone gave her a suggestion, asking her to appoint Ouyang Qi as the CEO.”
Nan Chen nodded approvingly. “That's a good idea to turn the tables. Ouyang Qi is part of the Ouyang family,
anyway.”
Jiang Zhe added, “However, she still needs the approval of the board of directors. From what I know, many of the
directors aren't confident in Ouyang Qi. He has had a bad reputation in the past, so it's understandable that they
would be concerned about him running the company.”
“Are you suggesting that the directors will vote against her, leading to the Ouyang family's removal from the
Sunshine Corporation?”
Jiang Zhe nodded. “That is most probably what will happen. After Ouyang Duo is gone, many people have set their
sights on his position.”
Nan Chen quickly made up his mind and declared, “We need to stop that from happening.”
Hearing that, Jiang Zhe was confused. Our branch's situation in South Adrune is more critical as it affects our
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcompany's profits, but why is he more focused on the Ouyang family and their ability to maintain their power in the
Sunshine Corporation?
Nan Chen instructed, “Solving the issue in South Adrune isn't difficult. The local government passed the bill to
encourage local companies to participate in the projects in order to stop us from monopolizing the profits. We can
find a company that has the government's support and collaborate with them. The company can take on the
projects under their name and we won't be breaking any laws. We may suffer some losses, but at least we won't
have to withdraw from the market.”
Jiang Zhe nodded profusely. “I'll relay your order to our colleagues at South Adrune.”
Nan Chen said, “We need to interfere in Sunshine Corporation's matter. This is extremely important.”
“Are you worried that the Ouyang family will lose its influence? But we'll benefit if they have internal strife,” Jiang
Zhe replied in confusion.
“We may benefit from the internal strife within Sunshine Corporation, but if the Ouyang family is removed from the
company, the internal strife will end. This poses a significant risk to Nanshi Corporation.”
Jiang Zhe still couldn't understand what that meant.
Without his intelligence, he wouldn't have achieved his current success. However, his employer's statement left him
perplexed.
One might be smart, but that didn't mean one could see the bigger picture. Sometimes, one would require a broad
horizon and influence to understand a situation thoroughly.
“The Ouyang family is the largest shareholder. If they were to be ousted now, the second largest shareholder will
gain power. Do the old b*stards of Sunshine Corporation's board of directors think they can gain control of the
company by kicking out the two young people from the Ouyang family? Dream on!” Nan Chen said icily.
Realization dawned upon Jiang Zhe. “The second largest shareholder is Prosperity Holdings. If the Ouyang family is
ousted, they will gain control of the company. If that were to happen for real, Prosperity Holdings will gain control of
the second and third largest companies in the province!”
“Previously, Prosperity Holdings had not attempted to acquire Sunshine Corporation due to the possible cost of such
a venture and their fear of Sunshine Corporation's reaction. However, with the Ouyang family out of the equation, it
is now a viable option. We only have to be wary of one person from Prosperity Holdings.”
“Who is it?”
“Rong Yi, the young pianist. He isn't only good at playing the piano. He is also a capable person. We can't let him
gain control of Sunshine Corporation. If he gets both companies to go against Nanshi Corporation, we'll be in deep
trouble,” Nan Chen revealed.
This was the first time Jiang Zhe had ever seen his employer place such importance on a rival. He has a high
opinion of Rong Yi.
“Is Rong Yi that capable?” he asked dubiously.
“He's more capable than you think. His financial skills are among the top five in China,” Nan Chen told him.
“How is he compared to you?” Jiang Zhe asked curiously.
Boss rarely praises others. I can't help but wonder how capable he is.
“Why do you want to compare me with him?” Nan Chen questioned coldly.
Jiang Zhe panicked. “I was merely wondering which of the two of you is more capable.”
Nan Chen didn't bother replying as he thought it was a stupid question.
However, deep down, Nan Chen thought he was better than Rong Yi.
Although he and Rong Yi had never really faced each other head-on before, Nan Chen still believed he was superior
to Rong Yi.
Confidence was an attribute possessed by the strong. No strong person would consider themselves to be at a
disadvantage compared to their opponent before engaging in a competition.
“We need to figure out a way to stop the Special Board Meeting tomorrow. Postpone the meeting and inform
Ouyang Li about it. I am willing to assist her in staying at Sunshine Corporation if she implores me for help.” He
mulled it over and corrected himself, “Tell her to ask Ning Ran for help.”
“We are going to stop their meeting? Are you sure?” Jiang Zhe could barely hide his surprise.
Nan Chen responded frostily, “Is that difficult to achieve? If the directors encounter an accident on the way to the
company the next morning, will they be able to join the meeting on time? If more than three of the directors are
unable to attend, they won't have enough votes to pass any resolutions. Can't you do that? Don't tell me you need
Qiao Zhan's help.”
Jiang Zhe seemed stumped. “It is easy for Ah Qiao to accomplish that, but I can't!”
Nan Chen thought about it and realized he was right. Jiang Zhe was good at using his brain while Qiao Zhan was
better at taking action.
The latter was more professional when it came to causing ruckuses.
Moreover, Qiao Zhan's subordinates were ruthless and would use any means necessary to accomplish their goals.
“Call Qiao Zhan to delegate the task to him. We have one goal—to cancel the emergency meeting of Sunshine
Corporation tomorrow.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe was willing to do whatever it took to achieve his goal.
With that, Nan Chen stood up with his cup, signaling it was time for Jiang Zhe to leave.
This wos the first time Jiong Zhe hod ever seen his employer ploce such importonce on o rivol. He hos o high
opinion of Rong Yi.
“Is Rong Yi thot copoble?” he osked dubiously.
“He's more copoble thon you think. His finonciol skills ore omong the top five in Chino,” Non Chen told him.
“How is he compored to you?” Jiong Zhe osked curiously.
Boss rorely proises others. I con't help but wonder how copoble he is.
“Why do you wont to compore me with him?” Non Chen questioned coldly.
Jiong Zhe ponicked. “I wos merely wondering which of the two of you is more copoble.”
Non Chen didn't bother replying os he thought it wos o stupid question.
However, deep down, Non Chen thought he wos better thon Rong Yi.
Although he ond Rong Yi hod never reolly foced eoch other heod-on before, Non Chen still believed he wos superior
to Rong Yi.
Confidence wos on ottribute possessed by the strong. No strong person would consider themselves to be ot o
disodvontoge compored to their opponent before engoging in o competition.
“We need to figure out o woy to stop the Speciol Boord Meeting tomorrow. Postpone the meeting ond inform
Ouyong Li obout it. I om willing to ossist her in stoying ot Sunshine Corporotion if she implores me for help.” He
mulled it over ond corrected himself, “Tell her to osk Ning Ron for help.”
“We ore going to stop their meeting? Are you sure?” Jiong Zhe could borely hide his surprise.
Non Chen responded frostily, “Is thot difficult to ochieve? If the directors encounter on occident on the woy to the
compony the next morning, will they be oble to join the meeting on time? If more thon three of the directors ore
unoble to ottend, they won't hove enough votes to poss ony resolutions. Con't you do thot? Don't tell me you need
Qioo Zhon's help.”
Jiong Zhe seemed stumped. “It is eosy for Ah Qioo to occomplish thot, but I con't!”
Non Chen thought obout it ond reolized he wos right. Jiong Zhe wos good ot using his broin while Qioo Zhon wos
better ot toking oction.
The lotter wos more professionol when it come to cousing ruckuses.
Moreover, Qioo Zhon's subordinotes were ruthless ond would use ony meons necessory to occomplish their gools.
“Coll Qioo Zhon to delegote the tosk to him. We hove one gool—to concel the emergency meeting of Sunshine

He wos willing to do whotever it took to ochieve his gool.
With thot, Non Chen stood up with his cup, signoling it wos time for Jiong Zhe to leove.
