The atmosphere turned awkward again. Everyone was looking at Nan Chen, and since he did not move, no one did as well.

Ouyang Li almost exploded with anger. Are these people deliberately embarrassing me? I'm footing the bill today, so why are they all looking at Nan Chen?

Nan Chen noticed that everyone was looking at him, and since he did not wish to humiliate Ouyang Li too much, he raised his glass.

Only then did everyone follow suit.

Rong Yi watched everything unfold and noted quietly that the Nanshi Corporation's foundation in Flower City was deeper than he had anticipated.

With Nanshi Corporation being embroiled in a fraudulent accounting scandal, logically, these snobbish businessmen, who've always seized the opportunity to attack a person who has lost power, should be staying away from the Nan family. However, they don't seem to have even the slightest intention to distance themselves from Nan Chen. On the contrary, they lavished him with all of their attention. This can only mean one thing. They have faith in the Nan family and know that the negative news won't have a significant effect on the company.

It was easy for a company to have confidence in itself but difficult for most of its corporate peers or competitors to do the same. It required absolute capability, a solid foundation, and an edge in the competitive market that no one could compete with.

Ouyang Li had always thought she could drive the Nan family out of Flower City and even bring down Nanshi Corporation if she teamed up with Prosperity Holdings.

For a while, Rong Yi was convinced that was possible too, but given the current circumstances, it was clear that neither Prosperity Holdings, which had returned to Flower City, nor Sunshine Corporation, which had been secretly operating in the city, could effectively compete with Nanshi Corporation.

No one will believe that Nanshi Company will collapse or that Nan Chen will lose. This kind of influence is simply terrifying.

“Please say a few words, Sir Chen,” someone suggested.

Nan Chen did not wish to steal the spotlight, for he only came to meet Rong Yi.

Since these people insisted that I say a few words, it'll be too insensitive of me to keep silent. If I did, however, I'd be upstaging Ouyang Li and putting her in an awkward situation again. She's already very embarrassed. If I made her look bad again, it'd seem like I was bullying her.

Despite not caring about bullying others, he still felt that bullying a woman was a little demeaning.

Hence, Nan Chen raised his glass and stood up. “Thank you, Ms. Li, for your hospitality, and thank you all. I wish everyone well.”
