After announcing Li Zhidong's absence, Huo Yichen glanced at the silent crowd, waited for an appropriate two seconds, and then spoke slowly.

"If everyone has no objections, we can start this meeting, everyone."

Only Huo Yichen's voice could be clearly heard in the conference room. Everyone lowered their heads in silence, exchanging glances with each other, thinking in their hearts.

Xu Dong is also one of them, but he is different from others.

The moment he saw Huo Yichen and their eyes met in the air, Xu Dong knew the answer to why Li Zhidong didn't come.

Is this considered killing the chicken to scare the monkey?

He was startled and doubtful, and he couldn't help but start to consider how much of his leverage with Li Zhidong would be obtained by Huo Yichen.

From the beginning to the end of this meeting, everyone seemed to have left without raising any objections to Huo Yichen.

It seems that Li Zhidong's disappearance has played a certain role, so that for the time being, no one dares to be the one who stands out.

The sky is blue.

In a city full of high-rise buildings, busy traffic has become the norm, and the sound of horns is endless.

The dazzling sunlight seems to separate the internal and external spaces with the air conditioner, allowing people to experience two completely different seasons at the same time.

Nan Xuan stood at the door of a certain company and looked up.

The high sky, where not a single bird flew, was completely occupied by telephone poles and various cables, which were twisted into several strands. The scattered trend makes people feel upset when they see it.

"..." Nan Xuan breathed out slowly.

He couldn't even remember how many times he had been rejected recently.

After all the painstaking planning and explanation, we were rejected again and again.

The phone suddenly vibrated.

[Brother, how are things going at the company? Need help? ] It was a message from Nan Hao.

He lowered his eyes for a long time, and finally replied with the word "it's okay".

But the actual situation was exactly the opposite of the simple words. Nan Xuan didn't say much, and he didn't want to worry the other two brothers because of his own affairs.

Following the money that Nan Jin and Nan Hao had taken out together, Nan Xuan ran some procedures and other matters, but if he really wanted to support a company, the money needed was far from enough.

At least, he had to get the first investment first.

Nan Xuan was calculating in his mind, glanced at the map, and gradually followed the navigation towards the next target company.

Rongguang Technology.

Under the scorching sun, Nan Xuan looked at the grand door in front of him, calmed down, and after making sure that he had no image problems, he finally walked in.

He came to the front desk and said, "Hello, I have an appointment with Manager Zhang of your company this afternoon."

"Wait a moment." The receptionist bent down to inquire, and then used his movements to look at Nan Xuan's somewhat handsome face.

The query results came out quickly. After the front desk confirmed that they were correct, they came out from the counter to guide him.

"Mr. Nanxuan, right? Please come with me here." The receptionist walked in front.

Nan Xuan followed calmly, thinking about the probability of getting Manager Zhang to invest in his company.

He was able to get this appointment because of his previous relationship with the Nan family.

Even though Nankang is not a good business material, the Nan family has been running the business for so many years, even if it was just Murong's support back then, they have met a lot of people.

Manager Zhang Zhang Nian is one of them. He once said that Nan Xuan is a good material and he is very optimistic about him.

It's just that things are different now...

After Nan Xuan thought about it for a while, he finally arrived at the scheduled meeting place.

He sat in the empty room and watched Zhang Nian open the door and walk in about two minutes after the receptionist left, with a kind smile on his face.

"How long has it been since we last seen each other? You are already so old..." Zhang Nian sighed in the tone of an older generation.

Zhang Nian is now in his fifties, and the wrinkles on his face have increased visibly. Compared to Nan Xuan's memory, he looks much older. Only when there is an occasional twinkle in his eyes can people feel that he is still the same. As before.

Nanxuan stood up and said, "Hello."

He kept in mind the true purpose of his visit, and therefore adopted a corresponding attitude.

"I heard that the Nan family... seems to have had some changes."

Zhang Nian's eyes shifted to Nan Xuan, observing the changes that had occurred over this long period of time.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be nostalgic for the past, Nan Xuan had no choice but to talk about the Nan family.

It's a pity that there is no good news, most of them are on the decline, especially after Murong Qiao left.

"My dad is staying inside now, but our three brothers still live together." Nan Xuan concluded with a brief summary.

Now when talking about these things, he has been able to calm his mind, instead of complaining about other people's faults like his young and frivolous self.

What's more, Nan Xuan has always been a sensible person.

"The main reason why I came to you today is also that I plan to open a company recently, but regarding the start-up capital-"

After Nan Xuan finished speaking, he returned to the topic.

Zhang Nian sometimes frowned and sometimes nodded as he listened to everything, and was silent for a long time under Nan Xuan's gaze.

"Your family's affairs...well, as long as people are doing well now." Zhang Nian sighed, "But regarding investment, I am just a manager now. I'm afraid I won't be able to do much with the investment money."

"Nan Xuan, you are a good boy, and I know you are very capable..."

Nan Xuan listened to the next words with his mind free, but he also listened to them countless times when he was rejected by others.

He just watched Zhang Nian's mouth open and close, making different sounds, and his heart began to drift to the next house.

But before Zhang Nian finished speaking, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside inward.

"Dad! What are you doing!" An energetic, arrogant and impatient male voice sounded.

Nan Xuan turned his head and looked at the boy standing at the door. After just a moment's hesitation, he recognized each other's identities.

Zhang Yao, son of Zhang Nian.

When Zhang Yao saw Nan Xuan, his face immediately turned stinky, as if he had seen something dirty.

"Didn't I ask you to follow up on the project? What are you doing here? Go back." Zhang Nian couldn't help but frown when he saw his son's careless look.

But Zhang Yao not only didn't leave, he came directly in and closed the door smoothly.

Zhang Yao walked to the table and his appraising eyes fell on Nan Xuan unabashedly. Especially when he saw the other party's suit and leather shoes that were obviously not hand-made, he smiled even more.

"Hey. Isn't this Young Master Nanxuan?" Zhang Yao said.

He walked half a circle around Nan Xuan and sat directly on the table next to him, looking down at Nan Xuan's current appearance.

"Why is it like this? When my dad invited you to our company, wasn't he quite arrogant and said that everyone has his own ambitions?"

Zhang Yao looked like he was deliberately stirring up trouble, "Now that dad is in jail, he has to look for help with shame?"

The fact that Nankang entered was not a secret, let alone in a circle like this where secrets could spread and become a storm in the city.

Nan Xuan didn't say anything, he just stood up and looked at Zhang Nian. "In that case, I'm sorry."

He was still rushing to the next one.

"Hey." Zhang Yao made a dissatisfied voice.

Seeing that Nan Xuan left and only the Zhang family and his son were left in the room, Zhang Nian waved and hit Zhang Yao, but the force was not very strong, more like a lesson.

"Why are you so careless now?" Zhang Nian educated his son.

Zhang Yao curled his lips, "What's the matter? The Nan family is so virtuous now that they can be trampled to death casually."
