My Sweet Physician Wife Calls The Shots Chapter 1356: Top Talent

Chapter 1356: Top Talent

Shi Yalin and Nangong Nuannuan were of the same age. Shi Gen had just mentioned the fact that Shi Yalin was a top student with good grades, but now it was revealed that Nangong Nuannuan had just competed in the High School General Knowledge Competition.
What was this if not a loud and crisp slap to the face?
Old Master Nangong was still angry. He said, "Miss Shi is a top student, right? Is there an important matter that held you back from participating in the competition?"
Shi Gen, "..."
Old Master Chi immediately added, "What nonsense are you talking about? Only the top talents in the country can participate in this general knowledge competition. A typical top student won't be able to participate."
Shi Yalin, "…"
It was one thing for the Shi family's grandfather and granddaughter to be ridiculed by Old Master Nangong, but now, even Old Master Chi had joined in the fray. This made the two from the Shi family feel extremely embarrassed.
"Learning is just one of the necessities in life. I often warn the Shi family not to focus on studying. Being a top student is important, of course, but it's more important to apply what you've learned to your daily life. If what you've learned can't be applied in reality, you're nothing but a nerd. In this aspect, I'm very satisfied with our Yalin. Although she's only 17 years old, she's already running a department store and a hotel chain."
"Those are all the Shi family's businesses, right?"
Chi Yang, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
Shi Yalin immediately answered, "They're indeed part of the Shi family's business. However, ever since I took over, the sales from the department store and hotels have been steadily increasing."
With that, Shi Yalin shot Nangong Nuannuan a provocative look.
To protect Nangong Nuannuan's privacy, the Nangong family tampered with the videos online through special means. Therefore, when the Shi family attempted to investigate, the videos were either gone or trimmed. In addition, the Shi family did not think highly of Nangong Nuannuan because she was a wild rich daughter who came out of nowhere. Therefore, they were even more clueless about what Duke Eton said about Tianheng Holdings during the auction.
Chi Yang glanced at his wife and announced proudly, "Then, you're not only a top student, but you've also applied everything you've learned in the business world. Does that make you a genius?"
"Oh? Miss Nangong is also in charge of the Nangong family's business? What are the companies you're running?" Shi Yalin emphasized 'what are'. If Nuannuan answered fewer than two companies, Shi Yalin would be the one crushing Nangong Nuannuan in this round.
Nangong Nuannuan had enough and answered, "I've just returned to the Nangong family, so I have no intention of taking over."
"However, from what Big Bro Chi Yang said earlier, it seems like you're doing a little better than me. Could it be… that you started a small company on your own?"
"Mmhmm."
Seeing that Nangong Nuannuan only nodded without continuing the conversation, Shi Yalin went straight to the point. "What company is that? Can you tell us?"
Nangong Nuannuan smiled. "Sure, it's a legitimate business anyway. There's nothing to hide. I own Tianheng Holdings."
How the eyes of everyone present widened.
Holy momma!
"Tianheng Holdings?"
"That's a powerful foreign company! They have several dozens of branches just in Camino, right?"
Hearing that some of the grandfathers started to ask, Nuannuan smiled. "55, to be exact."
"Amazing!!!"
"As expected of someone from the Nangong family. They've always been top-notch in every single aspect!"
"Brother Nangong, I'm afraid your granddaughter is going against the heavens!"
Everyone started praising Nangong Nuannuan. Standing at the side, Shi Yalin nearly fumed to her death, but she still had to act like a proper lady from a prestigious family.
