My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 415

However, he regretted his words as soon as he finished.

Since he was talking about his daughter, raising this issue made it seem like he was concerned that his daughter could not get a suitable candidate as a husband in the future.

Thankfully, Nan Zhengde did not make him feel awkward nor embarrassed.

Instead, he reassured, “Don’t worry. As long as you don’t mind, you can always come over for a drink. You can drink as much as you want.”

Apart from being polite, these words also hinted that he was welcomed even if Nan Chen and Ouyang Qing did not get married.

Therefore, the marriage between the two individuals had nothing to do with the drinking sessions that they might have.

Of course, Ouyang Duo understood what Nan Zhengde was trying to imply and merely laughed in response.

Then he pretended that everything was fine and continued to drink.

“By the way, Chen. During the meal earlier, Ouyang Duo mentioned that he gave you several good suggestions on the Vietnam project. Did you accept them?” Nan Zhengde turned his attention to Nan Chen.

“I am still considering…” Nan Chen trailed off.

“Well, I was going to bring this issue up too. There may be some changes to it,” Ouyang Duo cut Nan Chen off rudely.

“There are more changes?” Nan Chen glanced at Ouyang Duo, who confirmed, “Yes.”

“What are the changes?” Nan Chen questioned.

Picking up his glass of red wine, Ouyang Duo swirled it like a true wine connoisseur.

He said, “The joint project does not only involve our families but our businesses as well. The conditions that I set were only my personal opinions. At that time, if Nan Chen agreed, I would have tried my best to convince the board of directors to support my decision. However, since he hesitated, the board started to query. They believe that we should share the profits equally between the two companies, rather than a sixty to forty percent split since this is a joint project.”

“Equally?” Nan Zhengde and Nan Chen exchanged looks.

Is he trying to rob us? He gave us a piece of wasteland and wants to be part of the large-scale project that we have almost completed. On top of that, he wants to take fifty per cent of the profits?

That is ridiculous!

“I don’t think that’s appropriate,” Nan Chen responded calmly.

Ouyang Duo shrugged his shoulders and complained, “I think my board of directors is asking for too much too, but I have no choice. They are aware of the project’s situation, and they believe that without our company’s support, the project will fail. And they have also figured that there will be huge losses on your side. Therefore, rather than letting go of a good project that will end up dragging your company down, your company should cooperate with us. Although you will earn less, it is definitely better than having an unfinished project.”

As he spoke, his eyes lit up.

I am great at seizing opportunities. This project with Nanshi Corporation is a great one, and it is within my grasp now.

I can’t believe that I managed to pull off such a stun with such a big organization.

This is so rare!

Of course, Ouyang Duo felt proud about his move.

Nan Chen, who typically did not smile, maintained his poker face.

However, a small smile appeared as his lips twitched upwards. “Uncle, do you think that the project in Vietnam will drag the entire Nanshi Corporation down?”

“Of course. We all know that your company has invested heavily in it. If this project fails, Nanshi Corporation’s projects in other countries will likely feel the impact too,” Ouyang Duo replied confidently.

He thought he could use such detailed and confidential information to blackmail the Nan family.
