My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 399

“No!” Nan Chen turned down his grandfather.

“If you don’t agree, I won’t allow you to make the trip. Have I not made myself clear? That’s the only viable plan we have for now. We’ll get Nan Xing to take over your position because we need someone reliable to oversee the entire operation and ensure everyone’s safety. If Nan Xing is the one hiding in the dark, do you think he’s able to keep you safe from any harm? This is the only way to resolve the issue in Vietnam while keeping both of you safe!” Nan Zhengde insisted.

“No, Grandpa! Please don’t force me to repeat myself one more time!” Nan Chen made himself clear.

Similarly, Nan Zhengde showed no signs of giving in. “If you’re not willing to listen to me, none of you are allowed to make the trip to Vietnam! We can’t afford to put any one of you at stake! This is too much of a cost to bear! After all, the project in Vietnam is merely a project. You don’t need to put your life at stake for a mere project.”

“Grandpa, I have made countless business trips abroad previously. This is merely another ordinary business trip.”

“It’s not the same! Someone else is in charge of the itinerary of the entire trip! You don’t get a say at all! Either you get Nan Xing to take over your position, or none of you gets to make the trip!”

Nan Chen was aware of his grandfather’s temperament. Things would turn out to be messy if he refused to give in to his grandfather’s suggestion.

Although he had taken over the role of leading Nanshi Corporation, Nan Zhengde still wielded great influence in the corporation.

Since Nan Zhengde was aware of the possible risk associated with this trip, Nan Chen wouldn’t get to make the trip if he didn’t acquire his grandfather’s consent.

“Fine. I’ll make the necessary arrangements to execute the plan.” Nan Chen finally gave in to his grandfather’s suggestion.

His grandfather was surprised; he didn’t expect his grandson would adhere to his suggestion.

Hence, he had his fair share of doubts and stared at Nan Chen in the eyes to ensure he hadn’t been hearing things.

Nan Chen nodded once again to assure his grandfather, “You heard me right, Grandpa. I will have Nan Xing take over my role.”

“You’re not lying to me, are you?”

“I’m not lying, Grandpa,” Nan Chen nodded and reassured his grandfather.

Feeling a sense of relief, Nan Zhengde finally nodded in return.

“I’ll have to leave now and make the necessary arrangement, Grandpa.”

“Okay. I want you to send Nan Xing over once he has disguised as you. I want to see if he’s able to execute the task because I’m afraid there’s a huge difference in terms of temperament between the two of you. We can’t afford to have the plan head south,” Nan Zhengde expressed his concerns.

“Alright, Grandpa.” Nan Chen took note of his grandfather’s instruction before heading out of the room.

Once he got out of the study room, he called Nan Xing and found out he had been working hard lately.

He didn’t spend his time fooling around with his friends because he spent most of his time in the office lately.

After all, he had promised Nan Chen he would bear the consequences as the person in charge of the project.

Immediately after he received Nan Chen’s call and the instruction to return home, Nan Xing made his way back to Commoner Residence.

He reached home within a few minutes because Nanshi Corporation Headquarters was merely a short distance away from Commoner Residence.

Nan Chen told him the plan that had been devised by their grandfather. The moment Nan Xing figured out the details of the entire plan, he agreed without any hesitation, “That’s a great idea! Grandpa has come up with a brilliant plan!”

Initially, Nan Chen thought Nan Xing would feel dejected, yet he seemed to have been overly paranoid because his brother wasn’t against the plan at all.

“Are you mad? This is so unfair to you. We’re literally going to put your life at stake!” Nan Chen asked calmly.

“What are you talking about, Chen? Why would I be mad when it’s the most viable plan we have for now? I’ll take over your role while you keep an eye out on me in the dark! It’s a flawless plan!”

“The reason we have to resort to such an extreme countermeasure is because of the possible risk associated with the trip,” Nan Chen explained.

“I have faith in you. You have always been an observant man. As long as you’re around to keep an eye on me, I’m sure I will be safe. Therefore, this trip is none other than another business trip.” Nan Xing reassured his brother.

In return, Nan Chen tapped on Nan Xing’s shoulder and said, “Thanks for having faith in me.”
