My Wife Is a Superstar -
Chapter 418
In the Orchid Club.
Only a handful of people knew that the Orchid Club was an underground business ran by theOuyang family in Flower City.
Even though it seemed like a normal club at first glance, it was actually the stronghold of theOuyang family in the city.
The luxurious club brought its fair share of customers, who spread around secret information aboutthe city.
Through acquiring this information, the Ouyang family could have a good grasp of what washappening every day in the city.
That was why even though most of the Ouyang family’s businesses weren't here, they couldunderstand the workings of the city through the Orchid Club.
The Orchid Club was just like an intelligence hub, yet it also functioned like a command center.Ouyang Duo always had a dream about this city, but he never told anyone about it.
Meanwhile, Ouyang Qing was still waiting for her parent's good news from the Nan family eventhough it was late.
The Orchid Club was a place where they held meetings. After their discussions, they would go backto their own businesses.
That was why it seemed like they didn't have a common motive for coming to the Flower City sincethey looked like they were minding their own businesses.
“Dad, how was it?” Ouyang Qing asked anxiously.
"What did you do today?” Ouyang Duo pointed at Ouyang Qing.
"I didn’t do anything. What happened, Dad?"
"Why did you get into a fight? You're from the esteemed Ouyang family, so you're not of the samestatus as those people. How could you beat someone up?” Ouyang Duo bellowed angrily.
Ouyang Qing was dumbfounded because she never thought that her usually loving father would beso furious at her.
"Dad, that was a misunderstanding. I didn't...”
“Are you sure about that? You're so damn humiliating! You're a dignified lady, yet you got into anargument with one of the common folk! Absolutely ridiculous!”
“Dad, how did you replace out?” Ouyang Qing sensed that something was amiss.
"Walls have ears. Do you think that your actions would go unnoticed?”
“I really did lose my temper, and it wasn't a smart move, but..."
“But what? Are you trying to replace excuses now?”
Feng Jialing saw that her daughter couldn't handle the onslaught, so she decided to help her out."Ouyang Duo, what are you so angry for? Everyone makes mistakes sometimes! Your daughter wasbullied, and you didn’t even help her out. Instead, you're putting the blame on her?”
“Go on. I'd like to see you keep defending her. Don't you think she's such an embarrassment?”Ouyang Duo yelled.
“No! You got the short end of the stick in the Nan family, and now, you're blaming your daughterfor it. I think you're the embarrassment here! Don't you have some dirt on the Nan family? I don'tthink the Nan family would just give up on such an important project and suffer billions in losses!Actually, losing money is just the tip of the iceberg. If that project fails, Nan Chen's standing in hiscompany would be affected. Hordes of people dreamed of coveting Nan Chen's position in thecompany, so don't you think that Nan Chen and that old geezer would be afraid that someonemight overthrow Nan Chen?”
Hearing her, Ouyang Duo started to calm down as well. “Logically speaking, the old man and NanChen should be afraid, because after all, the project is led by Nan Chen. How could he ever watch itgo down in flames? Why wouldn't he be willing to sacrifice a small profit for it? This is absolutelyunreasonable and illogical!”
“The Nan family is just trying to scare us! They're just acting like they dont care so that you willcompromise! Fat chance!” Feng Jialing hissed.
"Dad, did the whole Nan family call off the deal, or did Nan Chen and the Old Master do thatinstead?” Ouyang Qing started to panic.
If their families collaborated, Nan Chen would view Ouyang Qing differently.
Besides that, the Ouyang family would be deemed as saviors with Ouyang Qing as theirrepresentative. If so, it was entirely possible that Ouyang Qing would be of equal status with NanChen.
At the very least, Ouyang Qing would gain more influence from this.
That was why Ouyang Qing was very invested in this deal because it signified the future of her andNan Chen's relationship dynamic.
“They didn't exactly call off the deal; they just made the conditions much more stringent! It'sridiculous. They are the ones in trouble, and we're the ones offering help, but now it seems likethey're acting all high and mighty!"
Ouyang Duo was boiling in rage and frustration.
“Did something go wrong?” Feng Jialing asked.
"Of course not. The Nan family can't possibly get out of that situation.” Ouyang Duo shook his head.“True. With Mr. Huang holding his ground, nothing unexpected will ever happen. The Nan family isstuck in a deadlock,” Feng Jialing chimed in.
“The Nan family can't keep up their act forever! Nan Chen will definitely regret his actions and begme for help! When that happens, both of you would have to go and see him and let him know that Ihave no time for people like him,” said Ouyang Duo.
“Dad, you can't do this to Chen. He's working under the instructions of the Old Master anyway! Whyare you making things hard for him?” said Ouyang Qing disdainfully.
“Are you siding with him? Don’t you remember how he treated you? No matter how much you likehim, you still have to be firm with him. Otherwise, do you think you will have it easy when hemarries you?" chided Ouyang Duo.
Ouyang Qing lowered her head. She surely wanted to elevate her position in Nan Chen's heart, butshe was afraid that she might anger him if the methods she employed were too drastic.
Nan Chen was not a kind soul, so angering him would be no different than courting the wrath of thedevil.
If that happened, not only would she not be Nan Chen's wife, talking to him might even be adifficult task.
Right now, Nan Chen respected her not because of her good looks or because she was the lady ofthe Ouyang family.
Rather because she helped Bai Hua out before, so Nan Chen owed her a favor.
On top of that, both families were considered to have a long-standing relationship, which was whyNan Chen still had some degree of respect for her.
If Ouyang Duo continued to corner Nan Chen to a dead end, Ouyang Qing was afraid that shemight turn out to be Nan Chen's enemy instead of his wife.
Feng Jialing saw how upset her daughter was, so she began to rebuke Ouyang Duo,” Why can't youtalk to your daughter nicely? Why are you so afraid now that the Nan family is under your control? Iwill get them to kneel down and bow before me!”
“Me? Afraid of them? Come on! That would never happen...” However, before he could finish, thephone began to ring.
It was a call from Vietnam
"Why? How could this be... when did it happen? I thought you said you could fix it? Damn it, this isbad..." He slammed the phone when he was halfway through the conversation.
Feng Jialing exchanged blank looks with Ouyang Duo as they wondered who was on the other endof the line that could incense Ouyang Duo to such an extent.
"What happened? Who's that?”
“It was Mr. Huang. He said that Nanshi Corporation's project in Vietnam was resumed! No wonderNan Chen and his senile father were acting so haughty! Their problems had been taken care of!Damn it. How dare they trick me!”
Feng Jialing was anxious, “They actually solved it? How did they do that? How is that possible?”“The vice president enquired about this project, and all the problems were resolved in the shortestof time. The project was officially resumed. I was too hasty, and I really underestimated Nan Chen.”Ouyang Duo slouched on the sofa.
