Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 867

The one-day event organized by the chamber of commerce was held at a golf resort. The main activities of the event were golf and a banquet.

The people who played golf in the daytime were all entrepreneurs outside of the top ten companies in the ranking. They loved attending such events because they could improve their connections and seek more business opportunities.

For big shots such as Nan Chen, they would also play golf, but they would prefer to have private games instead of playing with a group. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Obviously, regardless of the activity chosen, their primary aim was to talk business.

Those big shots would prefer to talk in a quiet environment rather than a noisy one.

Be that as it may, a lot of those business owners were eager to see Nan Chen. As a matter of fact, their sole purpose for attending the event was to see him.

Nanshi Corporation was the leading company in Flower City, and they had businesses in diverse fields. A lot of small and medium enterprises had either direct or indirect relationships with Nanshi Corporation.

They even worshipped Nan Chen because they regarded him as the best in the business world. They also knew Nan Chen could solve their problems with just a phone call.

Unfortunately for them, they waited for Nan Chen the entire day, but he never appeared.

Apart from the owners of the small and medium enterprises, there was another person who was dying to meet Nan Chen. That person was none other than Ouyang Li.

After hearing that Nan Chen would attend the event, she immediately asked her subordinates to send her three sets of clothes to choose from. She then finally picked out the one she liked the most and got dressed.

Throughout the day, she would touch up her makeup almost every twenty minutes. She was worried that Nan Chen would arrive all of a sudden and see her with her flawed makeup.

Although she hated Nan Chen to the bone, she had the urge to show him the best of herself.

Ouyang Li couldn't figure out why, but she just wanted to see Nan Chen badly and craved his attention.

Prior to that, she thought all the men in the world could only think with the lower halves of their bodies. She once viewed men as unsophisticated and boring creatures, so she never got into a relationship.

Besides, she was always scoffing at the fact that Ouyang Qing was obsessed with Nan Chen and felt he was unworthy.

Ever since Nan Chen appeared before her eyes, however, she finally knew how alluring and tempting Nan Chen was. Her heart would even race wildly as she thought of him.

Although it had been an embarrassing and confusing experience for her, she felt she was losing control of herself, and she was finding it hard to stop herself from feeling that way.

At six that evening, Nan Chen arrived at the golf resort in his Rolls-Royce before the banquet started.

Since it was a business-related social event, Nan Chen had to use the most official-looking car.

In fact, he was hoping he could drive his Lamborghini to the event. However, that would make him seem less mature. Hence, he had no choice but to take the slightly old-fashioned Rolls-Royce.

Most of the time, Nan Chen couldn't do as he wished. Although no one could restrict him from doing or saying certain things, he had to set those restrictions himself due to his status in society.

The moment the owners of the small and medium enterprises saw Nan Chen's car, they recognized it right away and swarmed toward it to greet him.

It was safe to say everyone in Flower City could recognize Nan Chen's car.

Before Nan Chen even opened the car door, his car was already surrounded by people.

Qiao Zhan got out of the car first to urge the people to take a few steps back.

Having worked for the Nan family for years, Qiao Zhan was used to such a scene.

That evening, as usual, Nan Chen was dressed in black. Since it was a resort, he wore sportswear instead of a suit. Consequently, he looked cool and fresh.

“Sir Chen is here!”

“Hi, Mr. Chen! It's been a while!”

“We've been waiting for you the entire day! You still look as dashing as ever, Mr. Chen!”

Too many people were greeting Nan Chen at once, and he didn't want to shake hands with all of them. Hence, he merely waved and walked in. Seeing that, everyone else followed suit.

Ouyang Li heard about Nan Chen's arrival, and she instantly touched up her makeup once more. However, she didn't go up to him to greet him. I'm the host, so the guest should come and greet me instead.

Unfortunately for her, Nan Chen became the center of attention as soon as he arrived. Upon his arrival, everyone disregarded her.

Ouyang Li was disgusted when she saw everyone surrounding Nan Chen and buttering him up. Those lightweights were just fawning over me in the daytime. After Nan Chen arrived, however, they had all forgotten about me.

With that in mind, Ouyang Li clenched her fists in anger. At the same time, her hatred toward Nan Chen grew.

While everyone was buttering Nan Chen up, Ouyang Li merely stood nearby and watched how expressionless Nan Chen was when he was exchanging pleasantries with the others.

Although it had been an embarrassing and confusing experience for her, she felt she was losing control of herself, and she was finding it hard to stop herself from feeling that way.

Obviously, those businessmen she considered lightweights were all billionaires. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been invited to the event.

Compared to the commoners, those lightweights were still considered very successful businessmen.

Ouyang Li stood there and watched Nan Chen for over two minutes. She noticed how cold Nan Chen was when he was exchanging pleasantries with the others. He's not even smiling! Even so, those lightweights are still flattering him just so that they can have a conversation with him. Well, he definitely stands out from all his peers. Compared to those unsophisticated and chubby businessmen, he's handsome, majestic, and elegant.

Holding that thought, Ouyang Li suddenly felt her heart skip a beat before it started racing. She was even feeling the urge to approach him and talk to him. Wait! My initial plan was to give him the cold shoulder. I've already forced those companies to stop working with Nanshi Corporation. If they were to extend their contracts with Nanshi Corporation, I would cut their loans. Now that the economy is doing

badly, a lot of companies are struggling financially. If I stop supporting them financially, they're going to go belly up.

Indeed, those companies had to stop working with Nanshi Corporation and look for other companies to work with after getting pressured by Ouyang Li. Although they didn't want to cross Nan Chen, they had to find ways to survive.

After Ouyang Li did that, she was thrilled because she thought she had somehow affected him. She knew that Nan Chen had been under a lot of pressure recently due to financial fraud. Therefore, she thought she could kick him when he was down and dampen his spirit.

On top of that, she even thought Nan Chen would take the initiative to beg her for mercy and offer to work together.

If Nan Chen had done that, she planned to act high and mighty to force him into submission before agreeing to help him. That's why I sponsored this event. I wanted to give him a chance to give in to me. Yet, not only is he not doing that, but he has also attracted all the attention after he arrives. It's as if he's the only person that matters! I can't accept this! I must do something!

Ouyang Li bit her lip and strode toward Nan Chen.

Nan Chen saw Ouyang Li approaching from the corners of his eyes, but he was unperturbed. I don't care about Ouyang Li. I'm just waiting for Rong Yi. When is he going to show up?
