In the evening, Nan Chen headed over to Yunfeng Hill.
This was the most challenging crisis Nan Chen had ever encountered ever since he took over Nanshi Corporation.
The project in Vietnam served as the benchmark for a series of modular projects that would be implemented. Its success possessed the potential of being replicated throughout the region as long as the project made it through the initial phase of development.
Nevertheless, the entire plan would fall apart if they weren’t able to complete the construction of South City in Vietnam.
The project, which had been deemed to be flawless, got caught up in a series of miseries.
Nan Chen was determined to turn the tables and ensure the success of the project. He had no choice but to brace himself through the challenge to prove himself accountable.
He couldn’t allow anything to go wrong with the project as it was the first major project he had been tasked with. The outcome of the project would determine the success of Nanshi Corporation in the upcoming decade.
Nan Chen wasn’t a wimp. Hence, he would rarely drop by his grandfather’s place. However, it was a serious incident.
It would be vital for him to discuss his next best course of action with his reputable grandfather. After all, his grandfather was a veteran corporate player who had spent half of his life in the corporate world.
In other words, he would be a good mentor to Nan Chen. Since he might be of aid, Nan Chen decided to pay his grandfather a visit.
By the time Nan Chen reached his grandfather’s place, it was already getting late.
Nan Zhengde ordered someone to serve Nan Chen a set of vegetarian meal since his grandson had yet to have his dinner.
Nan Chen finished his meal in a serious manner and gulped down the food within a few minutes.
Nan Zhengde ran his fingers through his beards as he praised, “Great!”
“What are you talking about, Grandpa?” Nan Chen was confused by his grandfather’s sudden compliment.
“That’s the way to go! You’re an exceptional man since you’re able to consume your food as usual, although you have been baffled by a huge challenge!” Nan Zhengde laughed wholeheartedly as he was proud of his grandson.
“Grandpa, are you aware of the incident that has occurred?”
“You’re right because Nan Xing has given me a call beforehand. You shouldn’t blame him because someone else is behind this particular incident. Nan Xing isn’t the one at fault.”
Nan Zhengde pointed at the pot of tea, signaling Nan Chen to serve him a cup of tea.
“Grandpa, do you think someone is behind this?”
“Of course! I have been keeping an eye on the project since its initial phase of preparation. You did a great job laying the groundwork. Therefore, it goes without saying that someone is hiding in the dark, orchestrating the entire incident.”
Nan Zhengde reached for the glass of tea Nan Chen served him and took a sip.
“Actually, that’s what I thought as well.”
Nan Chen took a sip of tea he had served himself and noticed it had a hint of bitter-sweet scent to it.
“Why don’t you share your point of view with me?” Nan Zhengde suggested.
“I think it’s necessary for me to make a trip to Vietnam in order to have a better grasp of the situation.”
“No,” Nan Zhengde rebuked his grandson’s suggestion without a second thought.
“Why?”
“Vietnam isn’t safe due to the ongoing protest that’s going on. If the person behind the scene is aware of your presence, your life will be in danger.”
“I’m sure everything will be fine if Qiao Zhan and his men tag along with me, right?”
“That won’t be necessary because it’s merely a project we’re talking about. Although it’s a crucial one, you shouldn’t go there yourself. It’s equally important to remain neutral. Otherwise, things are going to get messier at the end of the day,” Nan Zhengde stated.
Nan Chen gave it a thought and nodded because he had figured out the meaning behind his grandfather’s words.
It wasn’t necessary for Nan Zhengde to make himself clear; he was certain his wise grandson would figure out the rationale behind his suggestion.
Since someone was behind the incident, they must be keeping an eye on the progress.
As soon as Nan Chen headed over to Vietnam, the people behind the scene would figure out his whereabouts and launched a series of countermeasures.
If that were the case, Nan Chen would get himself stuck in a nastier situation. Therefore, he would have to remain neutral and stay out of it.
“If that’s the case, I shall return at once, Grandpa.” Nan Chen got up and was about to bid farewell to his grandfather.
“Sure.”
“I’ll get Jiang Zhe to make a trip instead. He’s a quick-witted man. I think he’s the best candidate for the job,” Nan Chen told his grandfather.
“That won’t be necessary,” Nan Zhengde stated.
“Huh? Who should I send to get to the bottom of the incident?”
“You shouldn’t poke your nose into the incident anymore,” Nan Zhengde announced a seemingly unbelievable option.
Nevertheless, Nan Chen wasn’t surprised. “I have thought of it, but I’m afraid that’s not going to work.”
