My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 852

Chapter 852 Unqualified

After finishing his brunch, Nan Chen returned to his study and continued working.

Ning Ran, who delivered a cup of coffee to the study, overheard him speaking over the phone in frustration.

He regained his composure after tilting his head to look at Ning Ran.

“How is the company?” Ning Ran asked softly.

She instantly regretted asking because she knew Nan Chen would not have thrown a fit had the problem been resolved. Can't believe I asked a pointless question.

“It's fine. Still manageable,” Nan Chen replied calmly.

As he spoke, he took a sip of coffee and knitted his brows slightly. It was probably because the beverage was too hot.

“Oh, okay. I guess there's nothing much I can help with. I hope you can resolve it quickly,” Ning Ran uttered.

“What if I can't?” Nan Chen interjected.

Ning Ran was bewildered by his response. To her, there was nothing Nan Chen could not do.

“I mean, what if I can't resolve the problem and get kicked out of Nanshi Corporation?” Nan Chen repeated slowly.

“How is that even possible? It's impossible.” Ning Ran shook her head. “There's nothing you can't do.”

“Last night, the stock price of Nanshi Corporation's overseas listed company fell by ten percent, and the parent company lost billions overnight. Everyone in the corporation is anxious and believes I did an awful job leading the company. The board members will be holding a Special Board Meeting this afternoon, and they are coming over to question me. Based on the company's policy, they can remove me if I fail to handle the situation well. They'll kick me out of the corporation once they obtain enough votes,” Nan Chen explained.


Nan Chen sounded calm the whole time. It was as if he was not under much pressure.

Contrarily, Ning Ran became anxious.

“Why did the stock price drop so much? How could the entire world believe that Nanshi Corporation had falsified their accounts based on the confession of just one person from the finance department?” Ning Ran was incredulous at the turn of events.

“Before, we were accused of short-selling, but the allegation lost its impact after an auditor released a report that cleared our name. However, now that one of our employees has come forward with what they claim is the truth, investors may start to doubt the authenticity of our financial reports. Despite our efforts to defend ourselves, people will not believe us unless the employee involved comes forward and admits the falsehoods they've spread. What a cunning move.” The creases between Nan Chen's brows deepened while he took another sip of coffee.

This seemed like a meticulously designed scheme and a tough nut to crack.

“Can we ask the person to clarify things? After all, he's on Nanshi Corporation's payroll. Why would he do such a thing?” Ning Ran asked, confused.

“Money talks. Even good guys will step over to the other side if someone tempts them with benefits and privileges. We can't contact him directly now that he's under the custody of the foreign cops. We also can't rely on our connections to contact him, as others might think we're trying to cover it up. That's how things might spiral out of control. So now, we need time to gather evidence to protect ourselves and prevent the stock price from continuing to plunge,” Nan Chen said.

Though Ning Ran was not well-versed in business, she understood what he was talking about.

“If that's the case, you can't quit now. If you do, Nanshi Corporation will only sink into a greater crisis,” Ning Ran encouraged.

Nan Chen walked over and rested his hands on Ning Ran's shoulders. “If they remove me, we'll relocate to Livingsfill and buy over Ms. Tang's guesthouse. We'll spend days fishing by the lake and enjoy our lives there. How does that sound?”

“That sounds good, but...” Ning Ran hesitated.

“You don't seem happy. Do you think Livingsfill is too remote and lacks the hustle and bustle of a big city? We can always go abroad,” Nan Chen proposed another idea.

She replied, “No, I think Livingsfill is great, but your charisma and impressive capabilities could lead you to achieve remarkable things. That's something beyond what Livingsfill can offer.”

Suddenly, Nan Chen's phone rang again. He picked up the phone and gestured to Ning Ran to brew another cup of coffee.

Meanwhile, at five in the afternoon, Ning Ran sat anxiously in the conference room of Nanshi Corporation's headquarters while watching the board of directors walk in.

Those big shots knew who Ning Ran was, but they did not quite understand why she was there.

As the highest-level internal meeting of the corporation, the board meeting was expected to be a private affair until any decisions made during the session were officially announced to the public. Seeing an outsider there raised the question of how she was granted access.

Ning Ran and Nan Chen might have a special relationship, but the directors would only regard her as an outsider.

Nan Chen could bring her to various parties, but this high-level meeting was meant for serious business discussion, not the right place for merrymaking, so they wondered why she was there.

Despite having doubts in their minds, no one spoke up. They believed Nan Chen would explain everything clearly to everyone.

Ning Ran kept her head down the whole time, attempting to avoid their stares, but there seemed to be no place for her to hide.

She wanted to hide under the conference table, but it would be embarrassing if someone caught her doing that.
