My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 1051

Chapter 1051 Fence Sitter

When Nan Xing arrived at Commoner Residence, Feng Wan was taking her afternoon nap.

Even though he was in a hurry to see Feng Wan, Nan Xing still waited politely.

Surprisingly, Feng Wan had quite a long nap that afternoon, sleeping all the way until three o'clock.

Upon hearing from the servant that Nan Xing had arrived, Feng Wan guessed his intentions and deliberately chose not to leave her room.

Nan Xing had no choice but to go to the study room, looking for Nan Zhengde first.

Nan Zhengde was in the middle of practicing calligraphy, but he only got halfway through before he took a break to browse Weibo on his phone.

Nan Xing wasn't interested in Nan Zhengde's internet addiction issue. What he urgently needed to do now was to keep Lu Jingyuan there, as that was what mattered the most.

After Nan Xing finished explaining the situation, Nan Zhengde was still staring at his phone.

Then, he hummed in agreement.

Nan Xing was puzzled. What does he mean by that?

“Grandpa, could you please express your stance!”

“What stance? What did you just say? Something about dismissal? I was busy with my phone, so I didn't catch what you said clearly,” Nan Zhengde uttered.

Nan Xing was rendered speechless. You weren't listening even though I've been talking this whole time?

He reached the end of his patience. “Grandpa, this is urgent. Could you please give me a few minutes of your time? Let me finish what I have to say before you continue with your phone?”

Without waiting for his grandfather's approval, he directly snatched the phone away. Forgive my audacity, but this is the only way!

“What on earth are you up to, brat? Are you looking for trouble?” Nan Zhengde was getting anxious.

“Grandpa, please give me five minutes. Just listen to what I have to say. I beg you!”

“Go ahead. Go ahead! Hurry up and speak!”

“So, to cut a long story short, Mr. Chai, on Grandma's orders, called Chen's assistant, Jiang Zhe. He asked him to find the company's director of the human resources department and make Lu Jingyuan resign voluntarily. The reason given was that Lu Jingyuan had leaked confidential information! However, Lu Jingyuan didn't leak any information. We're still investigating who revealed your illness. Dismissing Lu Jingyuan at this point would be unfair to her. She's an incredibly valuable talent to the company!”

Nan Xing indeed expressed the gist of his message clearly.

Nan Zhengde retorted, “Just for this?”

“That's right. This is a very serious matter!”

“Why did you come looking for me, then?” Nan Zhengde asked.

Nan Xing was stunned.

“You're the head of the family. Who else would I turn to if not you?”

“This was your grandmother's doing. You should take your grievances to her! If you think she's meddling in the company's affairs, then go complain to the CEO. What good does it do for you to seek me out? I'm just an idler,” Nan Zhengde said with a stern face.

Nan Xing caught on. Grandpa is passing the buck!

He figured Nan Zhengde must be aware of the things Feng Wan did behind closed doors, but Nan Zhengde turned a blind eye to it all, not wanting to offend Feng Wan!

“Grandpa, so you just don't care?” Nan Xing asked anxiously.

“It's not that I don't care. It's just that I can't do anything about it. Look, at the end of the day, you're still a high-ranking deputy CEO, and I'm just a nobody. I can't handle this matter. You should find someone else.” Nan Zhengde waved his hand, signaling Nan Xing to leave.

Nan Xing, of course, understood. It wasn't that Nan Zhengde couldn't intervene; he simply didn't want to!

“Grandpa, you've changed. You weren't like this before!” Nan Xing said angrily.

“Yes, I have changed. I've grown old! Haven't you changed? You used to be a child, and now you're almost thirty. Haven't you aged too?”

Nan Xing was stumped. I can't keep this conversation going!
