Chapter 956 Ideas
After Nan Chen finished speaking, Rong Yi didn't respond.
The two exceptionally handsome men looked at each other in silence for a good minute.
Anyone who didn't know any better would think they were having a loving stare-down.
Then, Rong Yi let out a soft chuckle.
Nan Chen didn't smile. He was never one to laugh much anyway, so he just kept gazing at Rong Yi expressionlessly.
“You make good points.” Rong Yi didn't refute Nan Chen's opinion.
Even so, Nan Chen didn't say a word.
He wasn't there to discuss with Rong Yi but merely to convey his view so that Prosperity Holdings and Sunshine
Corporation wouldn't engage in any share exchange.
“Still, there's also another possibility. Prosperity Holdings and Sunshine Corporation can rapidly unify before Nanshi
Corporation manages to crush Prosperity Holdings. Then, Prosperity Holdings will become the province's largest
financial group and eliminate Nanshi Corporation. I suppose that is the scenario you fear the most, Mr. Chen?” Rong
Yi stated.
Nan Chen was a practical man. “That is a possibility, but the probability is extremely low. You only have a twenty
percent chance of succeeding.”
That meant Nanshi Corporation had an eighty percent chance of besting Prosperity Holdings.
It wasn't as if that had never been done before. Back then, Prosperity Holdings was forced to withdraw from Flower
City because it was driven out by Nanshi Corporation.
“For the side seeking revenge, a twenty percent success rate is worth betting on,” Rong Yi said.
Nan Chen's gaze turned cold.
He didn't expect Rong Yi to say something like that.
However, on second thought, Nan Chen felt Rong Yi's remarks made sense.
The Nan and Rong families had an old feud. Moreover, both families were powerful.
If one wanted to take down the other, they'd have to take risks.
Taking down a formidable opponent was an arduous task, to begin with, so how could it not be accompanied by
risk?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTherefore, Rong Yi wasn't spouting nonsense.
“So, are you determined to proceed this way?” Nan Chen asked.
“The Rong and Nan families are bound to clash sooner or later. Don't you agree?” Rong Yi asked in return.
Nan Chen nodded.
Even if the Nan family didn't want to fight, the Rong family would never let slide the grudge of being driven out by
the Nan family in the past.
Rong Yi smiled resignedly. “So, basically any decisions made concerning Prosperity Holdings that stand a chance to
defeat Nanshi Corporation will garner support. I alone can't make a difference. If I say too much, others may even
think of me as a traitor.”
Nan Chen nodded again, indicating his understanding.
“In other words, the solution to this problem doesn't lie with me. You'll have to think of another way. Of course, I
know that you came here intending to give me a warning. Thank you for that,” Rong Yi uttered.
Nan Chen got to his feet, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately caught himself.
“I'll be taking my leave now,” he said, heading for the exit.
Rong Yi walked Nan Chen to the faculty dormitory entrance and waved goodbye.
Qiao Zhan glanced at Nan Chen after the latter got into the car.
Nan Chen was wearing his usual poker face, so Qiao Zhan couldn't tell what he had discussed with Rong Yi.
“Sir Chen, why did you meet with the Rong family's young master? You know about the feud between the two
families, don't you?” Qiao Zhan couldn't help but ask.
“I came to listen to him play the piano,” Nan Chen replied succinctly.
Qiao Zhan was baffled. You're so busy that you can't make time to attend many important events, yet you came to
listen to your rival play the piano?
Despite that, he kept those thoughts to himself, not daring to say that out loud. Then, he started the car and drove
out of the campus.
Shortly after they left the school, Qiao Zhan said to Nan Chen, “Sir Chen, a car has been following us.”
“Okay,” Nan Chen responded nonchalantly.
“Should we shake the car off or—”
“Just ignore it.”
Qiao Zhan became more bewildered. We're being followed, yet Sir Chen is going to ignore the car and continue to
let it tail us?
“The person following us isn't very professional. They've been pursuing us without changing cars, so they probably
don't mean much harm,” Qiao Zhan analyzed.
“That's why I said to ignore it. It's likely someone from Sunshine Corporation,” Nan Chen explained.
“In that case, it must be someone high-ranking. A low-level employee wouldn't dare to follow you so blatantly,”
Qiao Zhan added.
As they conversed, the traffic light ahead turned red. The car caught up and stopped right next to Nan Chen's
vehicle.
The pursuer rolled down the car window, revealing Ouyang Li's unremarkable-looking countenance. “Nan Chen, I
recognized your car!”
Qiao Zhan was about to roll down the window to greet her, but Nan Chen stopped him.
Nan Chen had nothing to say to Ouyang Li, not even a single word.
Ouyang Li was enraged, noticing Nan Chen had no intention of even rolling down his car window.
If it weren't for fear of being photographed, she would've gotten out of the vehicle and knocked on his window.
When the light turned green, Qiao Zhan continued driving, only to find Ouyang Li's car was still following them.
“Sir Chen, that woman is persistent. It's annoying,” Qiao Zhan uttered angrily.
Nan Chen didn't speak.
Just like that, they were trailed all the way to the underground parking lot of Nanshi Corporation's headquarters.
Nan Chen's car was parked in the executive area, which was guarded by security personnel. Ordinary vehicles and
irrelevant people were not allowed to enter.
When Ouyang Li's car was stopped, she actually told her driver to rush forward, nearly knocking down a security
guard.
Seeing her impulsiveness, Nan Chen furrowed his brows. An idea suddenly popped into his mind.
When the car stopped, Nan Chen didn't exit the vehicle. Instead, he instructed Qiao Zhan, “Tell the security guard
not to call the police.”

Right after Qiao Zhan got out of the car, Ouyang Li strode over. “What do you mean by this, Nan Chen?”
Nan Chen rolled down the car window slightly, just enough for Ouyang Li to see him and hear his voice.
She walked over to try to open the car door, only to find that Nan Chen had locked it.
“What's with your attitude, Nan Chen? How dare you ignore me when I greeted you?” Ouyang Li was beside herself
with rage.
She had always assumed that the news of her planning to collaborate with Prosperity Holdings would scare Nan
Chen and that he would come to beg her.
However, not only did Nan Chen not do so, but he couldn't even be bothered to entertain her.
Nan Chen remained silent.
He didn't get out of the car, nor did he look at Ouyang Li. He merely listened to her yelling outside the vehicle.
“Let me tell you, Nan Chen. We're about to engage in cross-shareholding with Prosperity Holdings. By then, we'll
form a powerful alliance and crush Nanshi Corporation. Just you wait!”
Ouyang Li was initially furious, but at the thought of Nan Chen and the Nan family possibly being at her mercy, she
laughed smugly.
She felt she was so much more competent than Ouyang Duo and Ouyang Qing for being able to come up with such
a brilliant plan to defeat Nanshi Corporation.
Still, Nan Chen didn't say a word.
“Nan Chen, I know you want to beg me to spare the Nan family, but I'll never agree, so no matter how much you
plead with me, it'll be futile! You can act all high and mighty now, but after Nanshi Corporation goes bankrupt and I
acquire it, I'll hire you to become one of the regular managers of the company. No, a manager is too high of a
position. You can be an ordinary employee responsible for photocopying documents and serving beverages!”
Ouyang Li grew more excited as she spoke, behaving as if she had already succeeded in trouncing Nan Chen.
At that moment, Qiao Zhan walked over. “What are you doing? You've been following us and even barged in here. If
Sir Chen hadn't told us not to call the police, you would've been arrested by now!”
Ouyang Li disregarded Qiao Zhan. “Get lost. I'm talking to Nan Chen. It's not your place as a driver to interrupt!”
Qiao Zhan thought, D*mn! This woman is really shameless. You say you're conversing with Sir Chen, but clearly,
you're the only one talking. Sir Chen hasn't even uttered a single word, all right?
