My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 604

Chapter 604 What Makes A Good Gift

The next morning, Nan Zhengde was practicing Tai Chi in the yard when Chai Hua walked in. Nan Zhengde gestured for him not to say anything and to wait for him to finish his practice instead.

Without a choice, Chai Hua stood by the side and watched Nan Zhengde finish a set of Tai Chi moves before handing him a towel. Grabbing over the towel, Nan Zhengde gently wiped off his sweat. “What is it in this early morning?”

“Qiao Zhan called me in the middle of the night and said that Master Chen and Ning Ran are both unreachable.” Nan Zhengde paused in his movement. “Unreachable?”

“Yes, Master Chen and Ning Ran were rushing to a place called Lotus Town in Lightspring to look for a doctor. Qiao Zhan and Master Xing remained at Livingsfill with Little Miss and Little Master. They promised to make a video call between nine to ten every night. But the call couldn’t get through since yesterday afternoon,” explained Chai Hua.

“What have you done after learning about that news?” Nan Zhengde asked.

“I’ve sent two men to rush over there. They’ve just arrived and have yet to send me any news,” Chai Hua answered.

“Good job. Do not act rashly. Tell Nan Xing and Qiao Zhan to stay put at Livingsfill and take care of the children instead of heading to Lightspring to look for Nan Chen.”

“Got it.”

“Send more men to head down to Lightspring. Do it discreetly. Have them travel in groups to avoid getting busted and get them to investigate in secret.”

“Understood, Mr. Nan.”

“Guard the phone. If anyone calls, you must answer it personally. If anyone is looking for me, tell them I’m not around and call back later,” Nan Zhengde further instructed.

“But what if it has got to do with Master Chen…”

“No way. Those people will try to confuse me before negotiating. I need some time to think about it. I will not answer phone calls or accept visitors before two in the afternoon. Bring breakfast to my study room,” Nan Zhengde uttered.

“Sure, Mr. Nan.”

Having worked for the Nan family for many years, Chai Hua had long gotten used to Nan Zhengde’s calm and composed disposition.

“Also, don’t let Madam learn about this for the time being.”

“Got it.” Chai Hua left immediately right after.

Nan Zhengde stayed in the study room and only got out at about three in the afternoon.

He then called Feng Wan into the room, where she saw about ten pieces of calligraphy artwork lying on the floor.

“So you’ve been hiding in the study room so long just because you’re practicing calligraphy? I thought you met a difficult problem again. You always lock yourself in here whenever you have troubles,” Feng Wan uttered, looking displeased.

“Yeah, I’ve been practicing calligraphy. Take a look and see which ones are the best. Help me pick three from all of these,” remarked Nan Zhengde.

“Your works are of a similar standard and look almost the same. What is there for me to choose? Besides, what do you want to do with them?” Feng Wan was puzzled.

“Just help me pick a few works first. I asked you for help because I believe in your aesthetic sense.” Nan Zhengde spoke with a smile.

With that, Feng Wan helped pick out three of the nicest-looking calligraphy pieces. Since Nan Zhengde practiced calligraphy daily, he was naturally good at it.

“Hmm… As expected of my wife. I like these three works the most too. Let me get Chai Hua to frame these up. I’ll send them out as gifts.”

“Darling, are you mad? You aren’t a famous calligrapher. Why would you gift your works to others? Do you really see yourself as a calligrapher? Your works aren’t worth a single cent since you aren’t famous. No one will want it!”

“Oh, how can you say that? I think that I’m quite accomplished in this aspect. You might not think it’s good, but that doesn’t mean others will think the same way as you.” Nan Zhengde chuckled.

“Gosh, why exactly are you acting like this? Why would you think of gifting others your calligraphy works suddenly?”

As a married couple for many decades, Feng Wan naturally had a good understanding of Nan Zhengde.

Even though Nan Zhengde kept a smile on his face, she somehow sensed that something was amiss.

“I’m thinking of visiting some old friends. They’re members of the board of directors. I don’t know what would make a great gift, so I thought of crafting a few works to bring as gifts,” Nan Zhengde explained.

“Members of the board of directors? Why would you think of visiting them during the Lunar New Year?” That further fueled Feng Wan’s uneasiness.

“Nanshi Corporation is facing a crisis. I have to visit a few old friends and seek their help.”

“Crisis? What crisis? Did something happen to Nan Chen?”

Feng Wan was smart enough and managed to figure it out right away.

“You’re right. We received news from the Xinan region that Nan Chen and Ning Ran are both unreachable. There must be more to it. Nanshi Corporation’s peace will undoubtedly be interrupted. I need to get some preparations done first. That’s why I have to visit some old friends of mine.”

Dejected, Feng Wan sat on a chair. “I knew there must be something wrong since my eyes kept twitching. Who would the culprit be?”

“Anyone is possible. I can’t be bothered to make any guesses. The culprit will show themselves soon. I have to get ready before they make an appearance,” said Nan Zhengde.
