My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 541 A Useless Sparrow

Nan Xing had never dropped his guard toward Ouyang Duo. While he was unaware of the Ouyang family’s designs on their family, he knew Ouyang Duo was hardly a gentleman.

Ouyang Duo had forced the Nan family into a corner over the Vietnam project. If not for Nan Chen’s help, Nan Xing would have been in hot soup as the actual manager of that project.

I’m not as shrewd as Chen when it comes to business, but I’m hardly naïve in the ways of the world.

Nan Xing could sense that something was amiss from the minute he set foot in the room.

Ouyang Duo had met Nan Xing several times as their families ran in the same circles. Nan Xing would bet money that his private meeting with Ouyang Duo today was far more complicated than an interview for a future son-in-law.

Consequently, he politely refused the liquor that Ouyang Duo offered and cautioned himself to think carefully before answering any questions.

Ouyang Duo took a puff of his cigar and frowned. He asked, “Is my question so difficult to answer?”

Nan Xing scrunched his nose at the offending smell of the cigar.

Feigning ignorance, he countered, “What do you mean?”

“I asked you about your plans. It’s a simple question,” Ouyang Duo repeated himself.

Letting out a smile, Nan Xing replied, “I don’t plan that far ahead into the future. You know me; I’m just winging it one step at a time.”

Ouyang Duo began to sound impatient as he questioned, “You’re a member of the Nan family. Nan Chen can’t possibly take charge of your family’s entire business alone. Aren’t you helping him to shoulder the burden?”

An ambitious man himself, Ouyang Duo held no little contempt for unambitious good-for-nothings like his son, Ouyang Qi.

Hearing about Nan Xing’s ambiguous plans disappointed him immensely.
