Ouyang Qi adjusted his position and faced Ning Ran as he explained away. “Not really. Our families are close, so we knew each other since we were kids, although I can’t really tell him and his brother apart. The only reason why we don’t get along now is because of you.”

But Ning Ran knew it was all a bluff. “Stop talking nonsense and tell me why you agreed to work with Nan Chen.”

“My original plan was to persuade Ye Meng to go easy on you. But the people Nan Chen sent said I should just have a drink with her and have it recorded instead of wasting my energy talking to her. Like I told you, Nan Chen is not as good as you think he is. I’ll never do something this underhanded.”

It was obvious that Ouyang Qi was trying to make himself appear better by putting Nan Chen down.

“Yeah, but you still agreed to his proposal,” Ning Ran pointed out honestly.

“But he was the one who came up with the idea. He actually wanted to do it himself, but he knew he was not attractive enough to ask Ye Meng out for a drink. That’s why he had to ask me to do it,” Ouyang Qi said.

Ning Ran suppressed her smile and nodded mechanically as Ouyang Qi bragged away.

“What’s so funny?” Ouyang Qi asked, looking at her.

“Nothing. I just think you really have a way with words,” she replied nonchalantly.

Emboldened by the compliment, Ouyang Qi continued badmouthing Nan Chen. “He came out with a sneaky idea and pushed me into doing it. How reliable can a person like that be, eh?”

Ning Ran continued nodding as he talked on and on about Nan Chen.

“Don’t you agree?” Ouyang Qi finally asked.

“Yes, I agree with everything you said.”

“Good. Then we should have a meal together after you get a change.”

Over at Nanshi Corporation, Nan Chen flung a document file in full force at Jiang Zhe in his office.

“What is Ouyang Qi doing there?” he interrogated.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Chen. He happened to pass by and...”
