“Tell him he doesn’t need to apologize. Mr. Chen has no time for that,” replied Jiang Zhe.
“No. He’s demanding an apology from Mr. Chen.”
“What? He’s asking Mr. Chen to apologize?” Jiang Zhe couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
“He insists upon it and we can’t do anything anymore. I wouldn’t have called you if things weren’t this serious.”
“Wait. I’ll ask Mr. Chen.”
Jiang Zhe turned to look at Nan Chen. “That kid’s father is at the school and is demanding an apology from you.”
Nan Chen glanced at him coldly. “So, are you asking me to apologize?”
“Of course not. I’m just asking for your instructions.”
“Do I seriously have to teach you this?”
“No,” said Jiang Zhe before speaking on the phone again, “Sorry, can you pass the phone to the father? Let me talk
to him personally.”
Hearing that, the principal gave his phone to Wang Shengli. “Mr. Jiang is asking for you.”
“Is he the father or the assistant?”
“The assistant. That’s the best we can do.”
“You’re asking me to talk to a mere assistant? Hell no!” Wang Shengli refused.
“But if you don’t talk to him, his boss won’t know what you want to say.”
After contemplating for a moment, he finally gave in as he thought what the principal said made sense. He took the
phone over and said, “Hey, pass the phone to your boss! His son hit mine and I want him to apologize to me
personally!”
“How should I call you, mister?” Jiang Zhe asked politely.
“Wang Shengli, and I do real estate!”
Upon hearing the familiar name, Jiang Zhe searched for Wang Shengli’s information in his mind as he was sure that
he had read something about the latter before.
At first, Wang Shengli had depended on contractual projects before establishing his own real estate company. From
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthen on, he indeed had gained success.
Though he had received countless complaints about his work quality, he was still standing intact in the industry and
was even arrogant.
“Oh, it’s you, Mr. Wang. Hello.”
“Don’t even bother trying to suck up to me. Let me talk to your boss!” Wang Shengli roared, making Jiang Zhe
frown while putting the phone further away from his ear.
“Sadly, my boss doesn’t want to. He said if you want him to apologize, you can come to us. I’ll give you the
address.”
“Why should I do that when he’s the one who needs to apologize? Who does he think he is? Nan Chen?” Wang
Shengli continued hollering.
“Oh. So you know who my boss is. Then you should also know where Nanshi Corporation is. Make sure to inform us
become you come,” uttered Jiang Zhe emotionlessly.
“What?” Wang Shengli questioned, needing confirmation as he thought he had heard it wrong.
“I said Mr. Chen has no time to meet with you, but if you insist, you can come to Nanshi Corporation instead,” Jiang
Zhe repeated.
“Mr. Chen? Your boss is Nan Chen? I don’t buy it.”
“Then come see for yourself,” Jiang Zhe finished before hanging up.
When the principal saw how Wang Shengli’s expression changed drastically, he knew that the latter had found out
who he was dealing with.
“What did you say the kids’ surname was again?”
“Ning,” replied the principal.
“Not Nan?”
“No. But…”
“Damn that guy! How dare he use Nan Chen’s name to scare me? Does he think I’m a coward?” Wang Shengli
started howling again.
“Though their surname’s not Nan, they call Mr. Chen as their ‘daddy’, though,” the female teacher from earlier
remarked.
“What?”
“The man who had just left is also Nan Chen himself.” She glared at Wang Shengli coldly.
“Which Nan Chen? The one from Nanshi Corporation?” Wang Shengli still had a hard time believing it.
“How many men named Nan Chen do you know in Flower City? Even if there are many, there’s only one Nan Chen
who’s stunningly handsome.”
As soon as the words left her mouth, her face turned slightly red when she realized what she just said.
But that’s a fact! I bet everyone else thinks so too!
“Is he really Mr. Chen from the Nan family?” Wang Shengli’s expression changed once again.
“Yes,” the principal responded.
“This… This…” Wang Shengli was suddenly at a loss for words.
“Didn’t you ask an apology from him? Did he agree to do so?” the teacher asked, secretly finding satisfaction at
how Wang Shengli was squirming.
“When did I say that? Do you think I’m that petty that I’ll make a big deal over such a trivial issue? It’s perfectly
normal for kids to fight. It doesn’t even need to involve the parents. Is this how you guys do your job?” Wang
Shengli asked with a straight face.
The principal and the teacher exchanged looks. He really knows how to twist the situation.
“Weren’t you the one who demanded an apology from him? Don’t tell me you changed your mind now?”
“I meant an apology from this school! Whatever happens here is your responsibility! Why did you involve the
parents too? I never said I wanted an apology from Mr. Chen. I’m warning you! Don’t start a rumor from this
groundless accusation!”
“Then it’s settled then. I’ve already apologized to you,” answered the principal.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“You should apologize to Sir Chen as well. He’s a busy man, yet you called him to come here! You guys are
overreacting! I need to explain to Sir Chen myself so give me his assistant’s phone number. I’m actually a good
friend of his. We even hung out last weekend.”
As Wang Shengli spoke, he thought to himself, Damn. I might’ve offended Nan Chen. I need to think of a way to
make it up to him.
“I’m sorry. But I can’t do that. Since you’re good friends with him, you probably have his phone number. You can
call him directly if that’s the case.”
“Fine. I’ll think of a way myself. I’m leaving.”
With that, Wang Shengli rushed out of the school without even seeing his son.
He immediately drove to Nanshi Corporation and asked to meet Nan Chen. Unfortunately, the latter had not
returned as he was spending time with his children.
Dabao must have found out that there were many negative reports regarding Ning Ran on the internet recently.
Because of that, Nan Chen decided to take the kids out for a breather as he did not wish the kids to bear such
pressures at a young age.
Nan Chen was not in the company so his other assistant stopped Wang Shengli from going further. However, the
latter took it the wrong way and thought that Nan Chen did it on purpose to humiliate him.
For that reason, Wang Shengli called his brother-in-law who was also the police chief.
He told the latter about what happened in the school and even twisted the story by saying Nan Chen forced him to
apologize in front of everyone. Other than that, he even told his brother-in-law that Nan Chen had slapped his child.
In short, he victimized himself and made the Nan family the villain in this story.
“Does he think he owns the whole Flower City? I’m not gonna show myself but I’ll get some people to do something
about it. Don’t worry. I’ll teach him a lesson,” replied his brother-in-law.
Wang Shengli breathed a sigh of relief after he heard that. His brother-in-law had always backed him up and
everything had gone smoothly most of the time. He believed it would be the same this time.
