Chapter 957 A Misunderstanding

As the head of security at Nanshi Corporation, Qiao Zhan was not one to be trifled with.

Nanshi Corporation was massive and had numerous branches globally, yet Qiao Zhan was the only head of security, which spoke volumes about his status in the company.

He was understandably p*ssed off at Ouyang Li's disrespectful attitude.

Qiao Nan declared, “If you insist on harassing Sir Chen, I'll have security escort you to the police station!”

An indignant Ouyang Li retorted, “How dare you! Do you know who I am?”

Qiao Zhan shot her a look of disdain and replied, “Ouyang Li, isn't it? Ouyang Qing tried to plaster herself to Sir Chen in the past too, but at least she's prettier than you!”

The remark infuriated Ouyang Li to no end.

Not only was he attacking her advances toward Nan Chen, but he was also calling her uglier than Ouyang Qing.

Worst of all, Qiao Zhan had said everything with Nan Chen right there.

Ouyang Li summoned her driver, who doubled as her bodyguard that day. “He was incredibly rude to me! Hit him!”

Her driver looked troubled.

They were standing in the underground parking lot of Nanshi Corporation's headquarters, which meant they were on the Nan family's turf. The driver knew clearly that they were at a disadvantage.

Alas, his boss bulldozed her way into the parking lot and even fired insults at Nanshi Corporation's CEO. They were already treading on thin ice.

Hence, the driver did not heed Ouyang Li's orders for him to strike Nan Chen's subordinate. He was no fool.

Nan Chen could have reported Ouyang Li to the police a long time ago. It was already beyond generous of them to refrain from doing so.

Hitting someone's employee on their turf? Does she have a death wish?

“Why don't we talk things through, Ms. Li?” coaxed Ouyang Li's driver.

“I asked you to hit him. Did you not hear my orders? If you don't dare to do it, then you can pack your bags and scram!” roared Ouyang Li.

Still, he did not move.

Even the threat of joblessness could not compel the driver to go up against the burly Qiao Zhan on another person's turf.

His experience in the private security industry told him that Qiao Zhan was on a wholly different level from him. Engaging Qiao Zhan in a fight would only end in a painful failure.

The driver knew he could always find another job, so long as he did not lose his life or a limb by carrying out Ouyang Li's orders.

Ouyang Li demanded, “So you still won't move, is that it?”

Qiao Zhan interjected, “That's enough. Stop your ruckus. He doesn't dare to hit me. You should leave. Sir Chen is considerate enough to overlook your actions today, woman. However, if you pull this stunt again, don't blame me for pulling out the big guns! By the way, I'm not a driver. I'm Nanshi Corporation's head of security. My surname is Qiao. Watch your steps; you wouldn't want to cross paths with me in the future!”

He waved his hand, dismissing Ouyang Li and her driver.

Ouyang Li fumed indignantly, yet her driver's lack of action and Nan Chen's refusal to leave the car left her with no option.

She pointed at the car and declared, “Don't even dream about begging me for mercy, Nan Chen! I'll never agree!”

Her baseless threat was rather comical. It sounded more like a plea for Nan Chen to come after her than an ultimatum.

Nan Chen remained silent throughout her rampage.

He scrolled through his phone expressionlessly. It was difficult to tell if he had heard Ouyang Li's words at all.

Only after Ouyang Li left did he open the car door and alight from the vehicle. He headed straight for his private elevator.

Qiao Zhan caught up to him and asked, “Sir Chen, do you know why this woman refuses to give up on you?”

Nan Chen shot his head of security a sidelong glance but did not reply.

“I bet she has a crush on you, just like her sister! She doesn't need to come here if it's just to address a rivalry between companies, let alone say those words about begging her. She's bringing her personal feelings into the mix. But still, she's not half as pretty as her younger sister. I don't think you'd ever fancy her—”

“Shut up!” Nan Chen followed up his interjection with a glare that had Qiao Zhan zipping his lips immediately.

Qiao Zhan still believed he had hit the proverbial nail on the head. I don't have much dating experience, but I know enough from other people's stories.

When Nan Chen strolled into his office, he was surprised to see a gorgeous lady waiting for him.

Ning Ran rarely came to his office uninvited.

Is she keeping tabs on me?

Ning Ran smiled at him and asked, “Ah, you're back. I heard from Jiang Zhe that you went to the music academy. Did you go for a recital? Why didn't you bring me along?”

Her question confounded Nan Chen for a moment. Is attending a recital the only reason to visit a music academy?

Of course, Ning Ran knew he would never see a recital in the day. She deliberately posed her question to make Nan Chen tell her the true reason behind his visit to the music academy.

She simply could not wrap her head around it. What is a corporate CEO doing at a music academy? Is he picking up a college student as his girlfriend?

“I was there for business,” he replied simply.

Ning Ran hastily asked, “What business? Are you planning to donate supplies to the school? Why not send Jiang Zhe for that? What warranted a personal visit?”

Nan Chen immediately sensed her suspicion.

Of all the days, she just had to turn up on the day I visited the music academy.

Unlike other men who would be scrambling to proclaim their innocence if their wives suspected them of infidelity, Nan Chen merely stewed in silence, happy to let her imagination run wild.

His silence fueled Ning Ran's suspicion. She demanded, “What did you do at the music academy?”

He lifted his head and glanced at her before replying flippantly, “To meet someone.”

Ning Ran's heart chilled. I knew it! He went to meet some college girl!

She mustered a smile and asked, “Who did you meet? The director of the academy, perhaps? To discuss a collaboration?”

“Nope,” answered Nan Chen.

His dismissive replies p*ssed her off, and she asked, “Then who did you meet? A hottie?”

Surprisingly, Nan Chen admitted, “Yup.”

He was not lying. No one would deny that Rong Yi was good-looking. In fact, his looks rivaled those of women.

Ning Ran was enraged. He met with a pretty woman? Are you playing with my feelings, Nan Chen?

“Great. Just great. I'm done with my questions. Glad that you're in such a great mood.”

Ning Ran grabbed her purse, about to storm out of his office in a huff.

“Are you done questioning me?”

“Yes. I'm leaving!”

Ning Ran stormed out of the office and ran straight into Qiao Zhan.

He immediately noticed her angry expression. Did she get into an argument with Sir Chen?

Qiao Zhan asked, “What's going on, Ms. Ning?”

They were close enough for him to ask her directly instead of beating around the bush.

“Did you go to the music academy with Nan Chen?” asked Ning Ran.

“Yes. I drove him there,” answered Qiao Zhan truthfully.

Ning Ran asked angrily, “Was that person good-looking?”

Perplexed, Qiao Zhan blurted, “What?”

“I meant the person that Nan Chen met.”

Qiao Zhan sifted through his mind and recalled Rong Yi's face. Well, he is good-looking. Anyone who isn't blind would agree.

He nodded in response. “Not bad, I suppose.”

Ning Ran exploded in anger.

Hmph, Nan Chen, you j*rk! You really were looking for a girlfriend at the music academy!

“Come here!” she ordered and waved Qiao Zhan toward a nearby stairwell.

Qiao Zhan dared not drag his feet and followed after her.

“Bring me to the music academy now! I want to meet that person!” Ning Ran declared.

“Huh?”

“What? Let's go now!”
