My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709 None Of His Business

After Nan Chen ended the call with Erbao, he turned around and saw an ordinary-looking woman in a regular outfit observing him from afar.

Since Nan Chen wasn’t familiar with her, he couldn’t be bothered to greet her. Hence, he started walking away, for the bid was starting soon.

However, Ouyang Li blocked his path. “Are you Nan Chen?”

It was obvious that she already knew the answer to her question. After all, it was impossible for her not to know him.

Well aware of this, Nan Chen ignored her and got ready to walk around her.

Yet, Ouyang Li stopped him in his tracks again. “I’m asking you a question. Are you Nan Chen?”

Nan Chen responded impatiently, “I am. What do you want?”

“So, you’re the one who got my dad killed?” Ouyang Li asked.

Nan Chen wasn’t interested in answering the dull question at all. It was Ouyang Duo who wanted to harm the Nan family first. It was his failure that resulted in the current outcome. How can Ouyang Li not know about this?

“I don’t know you, and I don’t know your dad as well. It’s completely pointless for us to interact as I know nothing about this matter. Please step aside, or I’m going to have to call the guards.” Nan Chen was polite enough to ask Ouyang Li to move away instead of pushing her directly.

“Nan Chen, my dad died because of you. I will avenge my dad and make your family pay for your sins. I want you to suffer ten times more than my dad!” Ouyang Li threatened.

Nan Chen continued to ignore her and said nothing while remaining indifferent.

Just then, a stylish and beautiful woman walked toward them. It was Yu Xiang. “Ms. Ouyang, the auction has started. Please be seated now.”

Nan Chen was still standing next to them. While Yu Xiang was speaking to Ouyang Li, she peeked at him for a split second before retracting her gaze.

Yu Xiang felt slightly intimidated to look at Nan Chen because of his domineering aura.

Ouyang Li waved her hand dismissively, signaling Yu Xiang to leave. She still had something to tell Nan Chen.

Seeing this, Yu Xiang had no choice but to walk away. If she was being honest, she didn’t want Ouyang Li to interact with Nan Chen too much before the auction’s result was announced.

After all, one was bound to have a slip of the tongue if one spoke too much. Yu Xiang thought they should just compete without excessive conversations.

Unfortunately, Ouyang Li was the boss, and Yu Xiang couldn’t direct the former’s actions.

As for Ouyang Li, she merely wanted to threaten Nan Chen and make her presence known, for she was pissed off after he looked down on her.

However, she soon realized Nan Chen’s presence was causing her indescribable stress.

All he did was stand there quietly, but it was already enough to stress Ouyang Li out. She felt inferior because of the pressure.

It was a terrible feeling for Ouyang Li as she had never been taken seriously. Thus, she would be furious whenever someone underestimated her.

Yet, Nan Chen was an arrogant person who always held his head high.

Even when he was facing prominent figures, he would never bother to treat them with much respect, let alone Ouyang Li.

In a way, Ouyang Li brought trouble upon herself.

Nonetheless, she refused to accept this. She wanted Nan Chen to look her straight in the eye, talk to her, and remember her.

Yet, Nan Chen didn’t take her seriously at all. Not only did he not argue with her, but he also didn’t spare her a proper glance.

After the minute-long confrontation, the auction officially began when the host went on the stage.

Ouyang Li had no choice but to sit down at her designated seat.

This bidding session wasn’t like the others, where the person with the highest bid would win the land.

Since Serenity Street was an old street in Flower City, it represented the prosperity Flower City once achieved. Other than that, there were also some ancient buildings on the street, which were meaningful to Flower City.

Hence, this wasn’t a project where companies could simply demolish everything and rebuild the street. Some buildings could be removed and reconstructed completely, but some must be maintained in their original state, and only certain parts could be reformed or slightly adjusted. There must be a balance between the city’s development and preserving the street’s history.

All this must be achieved through skillful planning. Precise decisions must be made on which buildings to demolish, keep, modify, and rearrange.

In addition to offering a price for the bidding, the company must prepare a detailed proposal.

After the proposals were collected and handed to the related departments, a team of evaluation experts from all around the world would grade each idea. Subsequently, a winner would be chosen.

The presentation sequence was already decided previously by drawing lots. The company under Nanshi Corporation would be the last to present the proposal.

To Ouyang Li, that day was her time to shine, as she already knew most of the content in Nanshi Corporation’s proposition for the tender.

A week ago, Yu Xiang, who had always been staying at Archulea, suddenly called Sunshine Corporation’s new CEO. She stated she was a former classmate of Nanshi Corporation’s owner’s assistant, and that she could be a useful addition to the company.

After assessing Yu Xiang’s words, Ouyang Li thought she made sense, and her plan was worth a try.

Thus, Yu Xiang arrived in Flower City and became an important person in charge of this project.
