Chapter 1562: A Presumptuous Question
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing that the wealthy businessman spoke up, Tang Yao continued, “Duke Eton has nothing to do with this. I watched the video recording from before. Through that video, not only do I know that Miss Nangong is the daughter of Duke Eton, but I also know that Miss Nangong is the chairman of Tianheng Holdings. As for Duke Eton, his current wealth comes from the dividend that he earned from the investment he gave you. Therefore, Miss Nangong must be the person who was in full control of the entire situation.”
Everyone was shocked.
Tang Yao continued to praise Nuannuan. “Miss Nangong is a legend in the business world. She established a corporation at the age of twelve. Before she’s even 18, she’s already turned one company into No. 3 in the world and No. 48 in the world for another. Never underestimate the younger generation!”
She responded with a small smile without continuing the conversation. She did not even have the desire to speak to these wealthy businessmen who would have nothing to offer her.
If Aiden were there, he would have exchanged a few words with them. On the contrary, neither Selina nor Dan Qi were alert enough to read the social situation they were in. Therefore, after that line, the atmosphere descended into an awkward coldness because nobody continued the conversation.
“Alright, that’s enough. Everyone here makes up for our nation’s pillars for the economy. There isn’t any flattery competition here. Let’s eat.”
After saying that, he picked up one of the pieces of food and placed it into Nangong Nuannuan’s plate.
The atmosphere turned creepily cold.
Although everyone was invited to the banquet at the presidential residence, this could be considered a national banquet since all of the ministers of the cabinet were all present. Everyone had their own set of food in front of them, meticulously catered to each person.
Yet, Wei Du reached out with his chopsticks and placed a chunk of food on her plate.
This was simply…
Could he be any more obvious?
Nangong Nuannuan glanced at the food on her plate and smiled at Wei Du. After giving him a pleasant expression, she said, “Thank you, Mr. President.”
He was extremely pleased. He perked up and encouraged her to eat. “Try it.”
“I’ve always been a picky eater since I was young, so I only eat what I like. I won’t touch what I don’t like.”
There was implied meaning to this line. Not only did Nangong Nuannuan reject Wei Du, but she also rejected Wei Du’s feelings that seemed to be floating about without any directions since just now.
Nuannuan’s straightforward rejection made Wei Du and everyone else feel awkward. They could not understand how this girl could have built her empire when she acted so haughtily.
Wei Du was the president!
Although he was from a small country that was not Camino, he was still the president. How could she not give face to others?
In her defense, Nangong Nuannuan was the boss of Imperial Phoenix Group. Their wealth was comparable to that of a country. Before mentioning Naboo, it was good to remember that she brought the entire company to greater heights when she was in Sab too. Therefore, rejecting the president of a small war-torn country was not something to be surprised about.
Wei Du understood this well enough. After all, other than his status as the president, he would have to rely on Nangong Nuannuan for everything else. Therefore, he kept his dissatisfaction tucked away and continued to joke around with everyone.
The banquet was a successful and happy one.
“Miss Nangong, I have a question for you. The previous chairman of Imperial Phoenix who was made known to the public had always been Feng Shengxuan, Chairman Feng.. After he moved the company to Camino, rumors that the real chairman of Imperial Phoenix was someone else started to spread. I’m wondering if you’ve always been the chairman of Imperial Phoenix, or is it because Chairman Feng is sick that he transferred the company to you?”
