An important economic forum was going on at Flower City International Convention Center.

As the official host of the event, Nan Chen returned to his seat after giving his speech.

Sitting next to him was Ouyang Duo, who had returned after leaving Flower City for two days.

Surely, it was for official matters that he came back this time—to attend the economic forum.

“What a great speech you gave there, Chen. I totally agree with you,” Ouyang Duo said to Nan Chen.

“Thank you, uncle,” Nan Chen said politely in response.

“Chen, I wonder if I can ask you for a favor?” Ouyang Duo asked.

“Please, go on, uncle. I’ll try my best to do what I can.”

“A pianist my daughter likes very much is in town for a recital today. I’d promised to go with her, but something cropped up and I have to fly back soon. You know her temper. She’ll start throwing tantrums if I don’t fulfill my promise to her. I was hoping if you could spare two hours out of your busy schedule to accompany her to the recital,” Ouyang Duo said.

Nan Chen froze as he didn’t expect Ouyang Duo to make such a request.

“I’m afraid I can’t, uncle. I still have some work to do—”

Nan Chen’s phone vibrated before he could finish his sentence.

It was an MMS from an unknown number of an image of Ning Ran accepting roses from Ouyang Qi.

At once, Nan Chen walked out of the venue with his face clouded over.

Jiang Zhe was just outside, answering a call.

Upon seeing Nan Chen, he quickly hung up. “What’s the matter, Mr. Chen?”

“What’s with that picture?”
