Chapter 630 A Significant Distinction

Nan Zhengde came out as if he had known that Ouyang Duo would come.

“Since you're in the mood for drinking, Duo, shall I get the housekeeper to prepare some sidedishes?" the old man asked.

“That's not necessary. I've already eaten. I'm just feeling happy, so I thought of having a drink withyou, Mr. Nan.”

“Unlike you, Duo, I'm not in the mood for it. I'm not drinking.”

Ouyang Duo chuckled. “That's true. You must not be in a good mood, Mr. Nan, and I canunderstand your feeling. Since you're not drinking, bring out the finest wine in your house and letme have a glass.”

He emanated such extreme haughtiness that it was as if he was at his own house.

Nan Zhengde said to Chai Hua, “Go get a bottle of wine.”

Chai Hua cast a disapproving eye at Ouyang Duo but went to get the wine anyway.

After the wine was poured, however, Ouyang Duo did not dare to drink it. Instead, he gestured toNan Zhengde. “Take a sip first, Mr. Nan.”

The latter laughed. “Are you afraid that I'll poison the wine? I'm not as despicable as you.”

Ouyang Duo's expression froze. “I'm not being despicable. The strong prey on the weak in thebusiness world. Although you're capable, the person you groomed isn't, so you've lost.”

“I don't wish to drink. Chai Hua, you take a sip first to prove that there's no poison,” Nan Zhengdesaid.

Chai Hua was even more reluctant, but she still did as told.

Only after seeing that the housekeeper was fine did Ouyang Duo take a sip.

“This wine is all right, but not the best. How stingy of you, Mr. Nan. You didn't even bother to takeout the fine wine. Do you still care about a few bottles of wine when this house will soon be mine?”Ouyang Duo asked with a chuckle.

"How can you be sure that I will give up the house?”

“I bought it for one million, and you will agree because you have no choice. Now that NanshiCorporation belongs to me, remaining in Flower City will only add to your sadness, so why bother?”Ouyang Duo burst out laughing again.

Nan Zhengde nodded. “That does make sense. However, before leaving Flower City, I still have awish, and if you help me fulfill it, I'll agree to give you the house. Not only that, I'll even help youwith the paperwork, change the name on the title certificate to yours, and make a plaque inscribedwith “King Residence’ in my writing. What do you think?”

Ouyang Duo was delighted. “That's a great idea. Something inscribed by you makes it a kind oflegacy and extremely meaningful. I like it! Tell me, what wish do you want me to help you fulfill?”

“I have a darling great-granddaughter who is very cute and adored by my entire family, but someb*stard dared to poison her. I can't get it off my mind. So before I leave Flower City, I want you tofulfill my wish by helping me replace that b*stard. As long as you do that for me, I'll give you thehouse.”

After saying that, Nan Zhengde stared at Ouyang Duo.

Ouyang Duo did not expect that the old man would make such a request. “Shouldn't you get thepolice to help you catch the culprit? Why me?”

Nan Zhengde replied, “If the police were to get involved, I'm afraid many things would be exposed.Do you truly want me to go to them?”

Ouyang Duo hesitated for a moment.

"With your capability, you can surely help me catch the culprit. Just this last thing. Settle it for me,and my family will leave Flower City and never come back,” Nan Zhengde added.

"Okay, deal,” Ouyang Duo agreed.

“But I must see that b*stard in person. You must bring him to me, and he must admit it himself. Iwon't accept it otherwise.”

“Fine. I'll do it. But besides giving me the house, I have another request,” Ouyang Duo said.

“Go ahead.”

“I want you to attend the press conference with me, acknowledge the legitimacy of my stake inNanshi Corporation, and express your welcome before the reporters.”

Ouyang Duo's request was far from simple, as he was aiming for where it hurt the most.

Not only did he take someone's company, but he was also demanding that they appear before themedia with him and publicly declare that they had failed and conceded defeat.

“You're going too far. Are you seriously going to burn your bridges without leaving a single one?”Nan Xing, who was at the side, asked coldly.

"Hahaha! Winners don't need that! Cowardly losers will leave a thousand, only to replace that none ofthem can be used in the end. In short, this is my condition. If you guys agree, I'll hand over theculprit. Otherwise, forget it.”

“Fine. As long as you hand over the culprit who harmed my great-granddaughter, we'll agree toattend the press conference with you and hold it at the headquarters of Nanshi Corporation,” NanZhengde vowed.

"How could you agree to this, Grandpa?” Nan Xing was distressed.

"It's settled, then. It's late. I'm old and need to rest. Let's leave it as this.” Nan Zhengde waveddismissively.

“All right. I won't disturb you any further.”

After stepping out of Commoner Residence, Ouyang Duo turned back to look at the two words onthe plaque again.

At the thought that the place would soon become his “King Residence,” he broke into a smile.After getting into the car, he gave his private lawyer, He Lin, a call, asking him to arrange a place todrink and bring along two people.

Ouyang Duo was in high spirits. He still wanted to have a drink, and not on his own.

On such a good day, I have to ask He Lin to arrange for two beautiful girls to drink with me. Wemust enjoy ourselves while we can. Today is my happiest day, and I want to have fun.

He Lin was not only his private lawyer, but he was also in charge of the shady aspect of his privatelife.

He was so efficient that he had already made the arrangement at another exclusive club for OuyangDuo after half an hour.

Naturally, it was not at Orchid Club, where both his wife and daughter were present, as it wouldmake certain matters inconvenient.

The girls brought by He Lin were young and beautiful, and on top of that, they were very receptiveand good at drinking. Ouyang Duo liked them very much.

When he was slightly drunk, Ouyang Duo motioned for the two girls to go to the side and have funas he wanted to discuss something with He Lin.

“That old coot of the Nan family wants me to replace the person who poisoned his great-granddaughter. Go and replace someone to be the scapegoat,” he instructed.

He Lin was shocked. “Is this truly your doing, Mr. Ouyang?”

"Qing was the one who found someone to do it, but that person has long since run away, andthere's no way we can replace him. Since the old coot demanded that person, we can only getsomeone to take the blame to settle this matter,” Ouyang Duo said.

“Now that Nanshi Corporation is in your hands, why do you still care about that old man?”

“Even though I will soon hold the vast majority of the company shares, the Nan family has beenrunning Nanshi Corporation for years and has long established strong support within it. When I takeover, I'll undoubtedly face opposition from many people, so I must get that old coot to attend thepress conference with me and get him to welcome me into the company officially. It'll make melook good and also appease the employees. Though it may seem like a formality, it is an importantstep. If an emperor takes the throne without an edict from the preceding emperor, it will beregarded as a rebellion and usurpation. However, if the former emperor issues an edict, the actbecomes an abdication, which is a significant distinction. Not only do I want to assume control ofNanshi Corporation, but I also want to make it clear to everyone that I'm doing so honorably. I wantto win fair and square!”
