Chapter 632 Dressed In Black
“Ouyang Duo, now that you have achieved your objective, is this how you’re treating me?” Feng Jialing retorted while holding her head.
Because of the forceful impact, she had a nasty bump with blood oozing out of it.
“How am I treating you? Didn’t I warn you not to stir up any trouble at this time? I’ll explain myself to you later, but what you need to do now is keep your mouth shut!” Ouyang Duo yelled back at her.
“Ouyang Duo, you’ll reap what you sow!” “That’s a topic for another day. Qing, help your mom out to rest. I need time to think.” “Dad, how could you?”
“Get out! Didn’t you hear me the first time?”
Ouyang Qing was taken aback by how Ouyang Duo snapped at her. “Mom, let’s head out and get your wound treated first,” Ouyang Qing suggested softly.
After shooting Ouyang Duo a vengeful glare, Feng Jialing left the room with Ouyang Qing’s support. At two in the afternoon, Ouyang Duo alighted from his car in front of Nanshi Corporation.
With his head held high and chest puffed up, he walked up to the main door of the place that was supposed to be the venue of his “coronation.” Even though the necessary procedures had yet to be completed, he couldn’t wait to organize a press conference where he was set to make his announcement.
He Lin approached to usher him in. “Mr. Ouyang, this way, please.”
“Why didn’t Nan Xing receive me at the door?” Ouyang Duo was upset.
“He could be busy since all the reporters have arrived. Let’s head up first.”
Out of all the conference rooms within Nanshi Corporation, the largest one was chosen for the press conference.
It took up the entire floor and was usually used during shareholder meetings or other large-scale events.
Upon his arrival, Ouyang Duo noticed that Nan Zhengde and Nan Xing were nowhere to be seen despite reporters filling the room.
At the sight of him, the reporters were thrilled and began taking pictures of him furiously.
Given that he was a rich man who became a trending topic on the account of his personal life, he was naturally an attractive subject for the press.
There was no stopping them since they were at a press conference.
In fact, the triumphant Ouyang Duo was actually looking forward to having his picture taken.
As for his recent scandal, he didn’t mind it, as they were too inconsequential to affect his status.
Ouyang Duo was all smiles as he bathed in the limelight of the cameras.
“Mr. Ouyang, please sit here.” He Lin had arranged a seat for Ouyang Duo.
When he realized it wasn’t in the center, Ouyang Duo was upset.
As the star of today’s event, why can’t I take the CEO’s seat? Who else deserves it more than I do?
“Mr. He, this is my seat?” A grim expression descended upon Ouyang Duo’s face.
“Yes, Mr. Ouyang. Since you haven’t taken the reins of Nanshi Corporation officially, that’s how the seats have been assigned. Besides, wouldn’t it feel more ceremonial to have Nan Xing vacate his seat for you during the handover?” He Lin explained softly, to which Ouyang Duo agreed.
I’m, after all, the new king. Since the old king has yet to abdicate, I’ll have to sit by the side for the time being. Once the old king invites me to take his seat, it will certainly make a deeper impression on everyone else. This arrangement is pretty good!
“Mr. Ouyang, why are you here at Nanshi Corporation’s press conference?” one of the reporters who couldn’t hold back his curiosity asked, hoping to get an early scoop.
After all, by being the first to interview the person who was on the trending topics, he would naturally draw more readers.
With a slight smile, Ouyang Duo answered implicitly, “You’ll see soon enough that I’m the star of today’s event.”
His words caused an uproar among the other reporters.
This is the headquarters of Nanshi Corporation, and yet, Ouyang Duo just declared that he is the real reason for this press conference. Is he hiding an important announcement?
“Mr. Ouyang, can you explain what you mean by that? Are you saying that you’re more important than the Nans?”
The clever reporter threw out a question that had to be carefully answered.
Under normal circumstances, the best strategy was to avoid controversy by not answering directly.
However, instead of doing so, Ouyang Duo confirmed, “That’s more or less it.”
His response shocked the reporters present.
What’s going on? Ouyang Duo came all the way to Nanshi Corporation’s headquarters to proclaim that he was the boss and the Nans were of no consequence. Has he gone mad?
With no reporter wanting to miss out on such an important topic, all of them quickly surrounded Ouyang Duo.
“Mr. Ouyang, could you give us more details?”
“It’s exactly what my words imply,” Ouyang Duo answered with a smile.
“Why are the Nans not important?” a reporter inquired.
“I’m not saying they aren’t. I’m just telling you that I matter more,” Ouyang Duo replied gleefully.
Usually, he would never behave that way. As Sunshine Corporation was also a conglomerate, someone in his position would always speak cautiously and keep a low profile.
Regardless of the overwhelming excitement within, one would never say anything controversial that would risk unnecessary conflict.
Unfortunately, Ouyang Duo, drunk on his victory, had failed to keep a cool head in dealing with the situation.
He had obviously lost his composure.
Just when the reporters wanted to press on with their questions, they noticed someone arriving.
It was Nan Chen’s assistant, Jiang Zhe, who was pushing a wheelchair in. The man sitting on it was dressed in a black jacket and pants, with a black tie to complete his outfit.
At that moment, all the reporters got to their feet to greet the Nans.
As they were in the headquarters of Nanshi Corporation, it was necessary for them to show their host respect.
Jiang Zhe gestured for everyone to take their seats.
Following behind Jiang Zhe were three men in jackets. Upon entering the room, they seated themselves in the extreme corner of the room.
After wheeling Nan Chen to the center, Jiang Zhe took his seat beside him and picked up the microphone, as it fell upon him to chair the press conference.
“Ladies and gentlemen, today’s press conference is held at the request of Mr. Ouyang, Chairman of Sunshine Corporation. First and foremost, I would like to welcome all of you to the headquarters of Nanshi Corporation,” Jiang Zhe said cordially.
As Nan Chen’s assistant, Jiang Zhe often took questions from reporters on his behalf and was considered an important spokesperson of his. Many of the reporters were familiar with him.
“Assistant Jiang, what’s going on? Why is Nanshi Corporation holding a press conference for Ouyang Duo?” a reporter asked.
Instead of answering, Jiang Zhe looked in Ouyang Duo’s direction. “Why don’t we let Mr. Ouyang explain?”
Ouyang Duo let out a huff. I’m the star of the day, and it’s time for me to make an entrance.
“Ladies and gentlemen of the press. It’s true that today’s press conference was held at my request, as I have an important announcement to make.”
At that moment, Ouyang Duo paused briefly on purpose, adding to the suspense.
“All this while, Sunshine Corporation and Nanshi Corporation have enjoyed a fantastic partnership. However, Nanshi Corporation has lagged behind in recent years due to its outdated management style and the increasing incompetence of its decision-makers. As of now, they are nothing but a spent force…”
Ouyang Duo’s brazen words sent the reporters into an uproar.
