My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 625

Chapter 625 Not A Weakling

Ouyang Qing was having a spa day the next afternoon when she suddenly received a call from Nan Xing’s assistant, saying that Nan Xing was sent to the hospital.

The assistant explained in a hurry that Nan Xing injured his leg while playing soccer with a group of friends in a stadium. He was being treated in the hospital at the moment.

Hearing that, Ouyang Qing roared, “That useless piece of trash! He has just been appointed as the acting CEO and has so many tasks on hand. Why did he go to play soccer? What a nutjob!”

Although Ouyang Qing was cursing Nan Xing, he was still her husband. Therefore, she had to go check on him in the hospital.

Besides, Ouyang Duo said that the plan to take over Nanshi Corporation was still ongoing. Before it was finalized, she had to keep an eye on Nan Xing to prevent him from playing any tricks.

Ouyang Qing got into the car after leaving the wellness center. Then, she instructed the driver to go to the hospital.

Ever since Ouyang Duo started going against the Nan family, Ouyang Qing did not dare to drive on her own in Flower City.

Ouyang Duo was worried that the Nan family might give them a taste of their own medicine by kidnapping Ouyang Qing. This would put Ouyang Duo at a disadvantage.

Hence, Ouyang Qing would travel around with bodyguards.

She had to wait until the Ouyang family had taken control of Nanshi Corporation before letting her guard down.

When Ouyang Qing arrived at the hospital, Nan Xing’s assistant was already waiting at the entrance. Then, the latter brought her to the ward.

Nan Xing’s leg had already been treated and placed in a cast.

“What happened to you? Why did you go to play soccer? You have so many things to do. Yet you still have free time to play soccer?” Ouyang Qing immediately started lecturing him.

Nan Xing shot her a glance without replying.

Suddenly, Ouyang Qing was plunged into a trance.

Am I imagining things? The look he’s giving me is a little different from usual. Maybe he’s in a bad mood after hurting his leg. That’s why he gave me that look.

“Is it a serious injury? You have to preside over a weekly meeting tomorrow. The higher-ups from headquarters will be there. Can you attend the meeting in your condition? It will be your first weekly meeting after becoming the CEO. If you’re absent, I’m afraid people might start speculating.”

Naturally, Ouyang Qing was more concerned about the Ouyang family’s acquisition plan instead of Nan Xing’s health.

At the moment, Nan Xing was merely a puppet for the Ouyang family to give orders in their place.

If Nan Xing could not resume work normally, the Ouyang family’s plan of taking over Nanshi Corporation would be affected.

“I’ll go to the meeting,” Nan Xing replied flatly.

Ouyang Qing replied, “Don’t overthink it. It’s not that I don’t care about you. I just think that since you’ve only just become the CEO, you have to put more effort into it. You can’t afford to miss those meetings. I’ll ask someone to prepare a wheelchair for you.”

“If I can’t use the wheelchair, are you going to ask someone to carry me to the meeting?” Nan Xing probed.

“Of course not. I’m not that cruel. And don’t give me that look! It’s your fault for getting injured at a time like this. I’ll have to inform my dad about this right away. We’ll see how he will make the necessary arrangements.”

With that, Ouyang Qing walked to the side and made a call.

Upon hearing the incident, Ouyang Duo fumed, “What? He got injured a day before the meeting? I don’t care if he has to be carried to the company. He must attend the meeting!”

Ouyang Qing hurriedly distanced herself from Nan Xing for fear that he might be upset by those harsh words.

However, Nan Xing could not care less about their conversation as he could probably guess what they were talking about.

The next morning, Nan Xing showed up at Nanshi Corporation’s headquarters in his wheelchair.

Nan Zhengde arrived not long after him.

The elderly man was on crutches, while the young man was in a wheelchair. It was a pitiful sight to behold.

The meeting that was held this time around was a high-level meeting different from the board meeting. It was the company’s internal meeting with the participation of the management team.

Nan Zhengde had not attended a meeting of this scale for at least five years. That was because Nan Chen had always taken care of everything in his absence.

As the CEO, Nan Xing sat there listening to his subordinates’ reports while jotting down something in a notebook.

Being familiar with Nan Xing, the executives did not hold the acting CEO in good regard.

It wasn’t because they didn’t think Nan Xing could not do it. Instead, they were worried about his ability to hold such an important position.

After the report, everyone waited for Nan Xing to speak up.

According to the usual process, the CEO would not only listen to the reports but also give speeches in such weekly meetings.

Besides, it was an important speech on the work’s summary and new plans.

Those who supported Nan Xing were on edge, fearing that the young man might mess up and end up embarrassing himself and causing the group to lose confidence in him.

After all, unity was of utmost importance within a team. Once the employees’ minds started to waver, the work efficiency would be reduced, which will in turn cause a lot of problems.

As the saying goes, good players could not overcome bad coaching. Poor leadership would ultimately lead to the downfall of a team.
