Things Have Changed

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

After announcing Li Zhidong’s absence, Huo Yichen glanced at the silent crowd and waited for two seconds before speaking slowly.

“If no one has any objections, we can begin this meeting.

Only Huo Yichen’s voice could be heard clearly in the meeting room. Everyone lowered their heads silently and exchanged glances, thinking.

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

The moment he saw Huo Yichen and his gaze met the other party’s in the air, Xu Dong knew the answer to why Li Zhidong didn t come.

Was this a warning to the others?

He was surprised and couldn’t help but consider how much evidence against Li Zhidong had been obtained by Huo Yichen.

From the beginning to the end of the meeting, everyone seemed to have retreated and didn’t raise any objections to Huo Yichen.

It seemed that Li Zhidong’s disappearance had played a role, so no one dared to stand out for the time being.

The sky was blue.

In the city with tall buildings, the traffic-filled roads had become the norm in everyone’s eyes, and the sound of horns was endless.

The dazzling sunlight seemed to have separated the s.p.a.ce inside and outside from the air conditioner. At the same time, one could experience two completely different seasons.

Nan Xuan stood at the entrance of a certain company and looked out.

Not a single bird flew past the sky. It was completely filled with telephone poles and various cables, twisted into several strands. The dispersing trend was annoying.

Nan Xuan slowly exhaled.

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

Even with his meticulous planning, he was rejected time and time again.

His cell phone suddenly vibrated.

[Big Brother, how’s the company? Do you need help?] It was a message from

Nan Hao.

He lowered his eyes and looked at it for a long time before replying, “It’s fine.” However, the actual situation was the exact opposite of those simple words.

Nan Xuan didn’t say much, nor did he want to worry the other two brothers because of him.

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

At the very least, he had to obtain the first investment first.

As Nan Xuan calculated in his heart, he glanced at the map and gradually followed the navigation towards his next target company.

Glory Technology.

Under the scorching sun, Nan Xuan looked at the imposing door in front of him and calmed himself down. After confirming that there was nothing wrong with his image, he finally walked in.

He came to the front desk. “h.e.l.lo, I have an appointment with your company’s

Manager Zhang this afternoon.”

“Wait a moment.” The front desk bent down to inquire. Then, with the help of her movements, she couldn’t help but look at Nan Xuan’s overly handsome face.

The check was done very quickly. After the front desk confirmed that there were no mistakes, she came out from the counter and led the way for him.

“Mr. Nan Xuan, right? Please follow me.” The front desk walked in front.

Nan Xuan followed behind unhurriedly, calculating the probability of letting

Manager Zhang invest in his company.

The reason why he could get this appointment was because of his previous relations.h.i.+p with the Nan family.

Even if Nan Kang was not good with business, the Nan family had been operating for so many years. Even if it was only because of the Murong family’s support back then, they had already gotten to know many people.

Manager Zhang Nian was one of them. He had once said that Nan Xuan was good material and thought very highly of him.

However, things had changed…

As Nan Xuan was immersed in his thoughts, they finally arrived at the agreed meeting place.

He sat in the empty room and watched as Zhang Nian pushed open the door and walked in about two minutes after the front desk left with a kind smile on his face.

‘■How long has it been since we last met? You’re already so old…” Zhang Nian sighed with the tone of an older generation.

Zhang Nian was already in his fifties, and the wrinkles on his face were visibly increasing. He looked much older than in Nan Xuan’s memories. However, when his eyes occasionally flickered, it made people feel that he was still the same.

Nan Xuan stood up. “h.e.l.lo.”

He remembered his true motive for coming this time, so he adopted the corresponding att.i.tude.

“I heard that something seems to have happened to the Nan family.

Zhang Nian’s gaze s.h.i.+fted to Nan Xuan, sizing up the changes that had happened to him after so long.

Seeing that the other party seemed to be reminiscing about the past, Nan Xuan had no choice but to tell him about the Nan family.

Unfortunately, there was no good news. Most of it was about their decline, especially after Murong Qiao left.

“My father is in jail now, but the three of us are still living together.” Nan Xuan summarized the situation.

Now that he was talking about these things, he could already keep his heart calm and not blame others like his young and frivolous self.

Moreover, Nan Xuan had always been a sensible person.

“The main reason I’m here today is also because I plan to open a company myself recently, but regarding the start-up funds—”

With that, Nan Xuan returned to the main topic.

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

“Your family’s matter… Sigh, it’s fine as long as everyone is alive.” Zhang Nian sighed. “But regarding the investment, I’m only a Manager now. I’m afraid the amount of money invested won’t be significant.”

‘■Nan Xuan, you’re a good child. I also know that you’re very capable…”

Nan Xuan listened to the rest of the sentence with an empty mind. However, he had also heard it countless times when he was rejected.

He only watched as Zhang Nian’s mouth opened and closed, emitting different sounds. His heart had already begun to drift to the next company.

However, before Zhang Nian could finish speaking, the door of the room was pushed open from the outside.

“Father! What are you doing?!” An energetic and arrogant man’s voice sounded. Nan Xuan turned around and met the eyes of the boy standing at the door. After a moment of hesitation, they recognized each other.

Zhang Yao, Zhang Nian’s son.

When Zhang Yao saw Nan Xuan, his expression immediately turned ugly, 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 sloppy appearance.

However, not only did Zhang Yao not leave, he even came in and closed the door.

Zhang Yao walked to the table and sized up Nan Xuan without hiding anything. Especially when he saw the other party’s clearly not branded suit and shoes, he smiled.

“Yo, isn’t this Eldest Young Master Nan Xuan?” Zhang Yao said.

He circled Nan Xuan and sat on the table beside him, looking down at Nan Xuan’s current appearance.

“How did you become like this? Previously, when my father invited you to our company, didn’t you say quite arrogantly that everyone had their own ambitions?”

Zhang Yao deliberately caused trouble. “Now that your father is in jail, you have to come and look for help yourself?

Nan Kang’s predicament was not a secret, let alone in a circle where such a secret could spread and become a storm.

Nan Xuan didn’t say anything and only stood up to look at Zhang Nian. “Sorry to have troubled you.”

He was still in a hurry to go to the next company.

“Tsk.” Zhang Yao made a dissatisfied sound.

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

“Why are you still so disrespectful!” Zhang Nian lectured his son.

Zhang Yao pursed his lips. “What about it? The Nan family is like that now. They can be trampled to death easily..”
