Ouyang Qing had been waiting in the reception room at Nanshi Corporation for nearly an hour. The employees of the President’s office had changed her coffee twice, but she still had not taken even one sip.
The brand of the coffee was too low-end, and she disliked low-end products.
Another half an hour had passed, yet Nan Chen had not shown himself.
Ouyang Qing had reached her limit as she walked to the President’s office and pounded on the door.
Seeing this, Jiang Zhe rushed towards her. “I’m sorry, Ms. Ouyang. You really can’t go in.”
“Until when is he gonna be in that meeting? This is so frustrating!”
“Nobody knows. The meeting will end whenever he ends it,” Jiang Zhe replied, lowering his head.
“Then let me wait in his office. Why should I wait here?”
“Mr. Chen said not to let any guests wait in his office. It’s about the company’s confidentiality. I’m just following his order, so I hope you’ll understand, Ms. Ouyang.”
Jiang Zhe knew very well where this woman came from. He could not afford to offend her.
“Ugh, when the hell will he end the meeting? I’ve been waiting for so long.”
“I’ll take a look around the company then. But I’m not familiar with this place. Can you show me around?” Ouyang Qing stared at Jiang Zhe.
Jiang Zhe hesitated, but for the sake of appeasing this agitated woman, he still agreed.
He was actually concerned about the Young Miss going into a certain department and would not be recognized by the people there. They would ask the guards to kick her out, and that would not look good.
“Your last name is Jiang, right?”
“Yes. Thank you for remembering, Ms. Ouyang.”
“Then can I call you Jiang? You’re older than me, by the way,” she uttered sweetly.
“It’s alright. You can just call me Jiang Zhe.”
“Hmm, I still wanna call you Jiang. Jiang, how long have you worked for Chen?”
“It’s been some time.”
“Then you must know him well, right?”
“In terms of work, yes. I’ve been with him for years, after all,” replied Jiang Zhe carefully.
“How many girlfriends did he have previously?” Ouyang Qing cut straight to the point.
She did not see Jiang Zhe with great importance. The only reason she gave him a nickname was to fish out information about Nan Chen.
“This question is regarding Mr. Chen’s private life, so I don’t know.”
“Seriously?”
“Yes.”
“I don’t buy it. You’re the closest person to Chen. If you don’t know, then who would?”
“I’m only in charge of handling the company’s affairs. I don’t know anything about his private life.”
“I don’t believe you. You just don’t want to tell me.” Ouyang Qing feigned anger. But she knew that trick was not good enough, so she pouted, grabbed his arm while swaying it back and forth. “Tell me please… please tell me,” she persuaded in a coquettish voice.
If she acted like this to someone else, that person might have fainted. Because not only did she come from a prominent family, but she was also a beauty.
However, Jiang Zhe was already immune to this kind of trick since many women had done this to get closer to Nan Chen before.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Ouyang. I really have no idea. If you’re keen to know, I can recommend someone that you probably can get the answer to your question. He’s responsible for Mr. Chen’s private life, so he should know about it.”
“Really? Who?” Ouyang Qing immediately got excited.
“Qiao Zhan, the head of the Nan family’s security team. I heard that he also has the same position in the company.”
“Qiao Zhan? The bodyguard whose built is like a small mountain?”
“Yes, that one. He’s not a normal bodyguard, though. He’s very influential in the Nan family. He’s the one who arranges Mr. Chen’s schedule like where he goes or who he meets, so he should know a lot.”
Jiang Zhe and Qiao Zhan had always been at odds. Since he did not want to be in trouble with Ouyang Qing, dumping it on Qiao Zhan was the best option.
“Okay then, I’ll go ask him later. But you must not tell Chen anything about this.”
“Of course. Mr. Chen and I don’t talk about stuff like this. You also know that he isn’t that talkative.”
“All right, I trust you. I don’t feel like wandering around anymore. Let’s head back. Maybe Chen is done with his meeting.”
Asking Jiang Zhe to show her around was also one of her tricks to get information about Nan Chen.
Since she failed to do so, there was no reason to continue walking with him. Her family also owned a big company. Everything here did not impress her since she had seen something similar.
During this time, Nan Chen had indeed finished his meeting. Even so, she still needed to wait for a while because he would rest for twenty minutes in his office every time he was done with meetings.
He was overloaded with work every day that he barely had any proper vacations. Thanks to the rest time in between his schedule, he could maintain his focus and energy.
When he was resting, nobody was allowed to disturb him. Nobody.
Did that include Ning Ran? No one would know.
Ouyang Qing finally could enter Nan Chen’s office after twenty minutes.
When she was inside, Nan Chen was sipping on his coffee as he signaled his secretary to make another cup for Ouyang Qing.
She refused to drink their coffee earlier, but she had no choice now that she was in front of Nan Chen.
“Wow, this coffee is delicious,” she complimented.
“This is a very ordinary coffee bought for the employees. I hope you don’t mind.”
“No, no. This is not ordinary at all. It’s delicious.”
Nan Chen did not respond since he knew very well whether a coffee tasted good or bad. He also did not ask why she here since he knew she would tell him.
“Chen, I wanna learn how to do business. My dad told me to learn from you.”
“Mr. Ouyang himself is a business expert. Why don’t you learn from him instead?” Nan Chen asked indifferently.
“No. My dad said today’s business world is mostly dominated by young people, and you’re the youngest yet the most successful one. So he asked me to learn from you.”
“I don’t know how to teach others though.”
“It’s okay. I can learn bit by bit. Business isn’t something you’ll understand in a day or two. I heard you want to invest in a movie. Is that true?”
“Yes,” replied Nan Chen nonchalantly.
“My dad is also part of this investment and he told me to be in charge of this project,” Ouyang Qing uttered excitedly.
“He’s interested to invest in a TV program? I clearly remember he said he would never do it.”
“But he’s really interested this time. He hopes that you’ll agree.”
“This is not a big deal. There should be a lot of investors for a movie after all. I agree.”
Ouyang Qing was elated as she never expected that he would agree this easily.
Once I become a big investor, I have a right to voice out. I heard that woman wants to be the lead in this movie. Now I have to think of a way to get rid of her!
