Meanwhile, in Flower City, Nan Zhengde couldn't recall the last time he visited Nanshi Corporation's headquarters, yet everything still seemed so familiar to him.

He had been living in retirement and rarely meddled with Nanshi Corporation's affairs ever since Nan Chen took over the company.

Since he decided to let Nan Chen run the company, he held himself back from interfering too much. He couldn't hand over the company to Nan Chen on the surface while still being in control behind the curtains.

If he did, Nan Chen wouldn't be able to spread his wings, and the employees working under him wouldn't know who they should take their orders from.

Therefore, not only did Nan Zhengde relinquish all his positions, but he also stopped visiting the company entirely. He simply stayed at home and enjoyed life after retirement.

However, he returned that day as the founder of the company to attend an emergency meeting with the board of directors.

The main seat in the conference room was empty. It should've been Nan Chen's spot.

The board of directors was the most influential and powerful group of people in the company, and the details they were about to discuss during the meeting were also top secret.

Hence, many bodyguards were stationed outside to prevent unauthorized personnel from entering.

Nan Zhengde didn't sit in the main seat. Instead, he was seated at the side with the other members of the board.

That tiny detail was crucial because it meant he was only there temporarily instead of retaking control of the company.

“Everyone, I'm here today because there's something I want to discuss with you all.” Nan Zhengde initiated the topic with a calm tone.

The conference room was quiet as everyone was paying attention to what he was saying.

“Due to personal reasons, Nan Chen can't manage the company for the time being. So, I suggest that the board of directors choose a new CEO,” Nan Zhengde proposed.

“What happened to Mr. Chen?” asked someone anxiously.
