You cheated, I divorced, why are you kneeling and begging me? - Chapter 39

After arranging matters at the hospital, Nanxi began busying herself with the behind-the-scenes work of the charity event.

“President Nan, the charity event is proceeding smoothly. Here are the items and funds donated by various companies.”

Nanxi picked up the donation list and, upon seeing the details of the numerous corporate donations, couldn’t help but smile.

Especially when she noticed the contributions from the Qin and Lin families, her smile widened even more.

The Qin family had donated quite a few pieces of jewelry, all of which were Deng Xiu’s prized possessions, while the Lin family had donated several precious calligraphy and painting works.

It seemed they had truly bled a lot this time.

“Well done, you’ve worked hard, President Zhao,” Nanxi said, looking at Zhao Dong with appreciation.

He was a man who kept a low profile but worked efficiently and decisively, with strong leadership skills an excellent corporate agent.

Zhao Dong nodded. “It’s because President Nan delegated authority and gave me the opportunity.”

After expressing his gratitude, Zhao Dong glanced at the jewelry and paintings and then turned to Nanxi. “The Lin and Qin families won’t bleed for nothing. They’re trying to curry favor with Nanyuan.”

Nanxi sneered. “They’re at their wits’ end now and want to pledge allegiance to the Nan family. Unfortunately, they’ve chosen the wrong place.”

“But this means they won’t let it go easily.”

“Then let’s see whose methods are stronger.”

As soon as Nanxi finished speaking, a sharp voice suddenly rang in her ears.

“Zhao Dong, it really is you! After we fired you from the Lin family, you actually joined Nanyuan. I bet President Nan doesn’t know you were discarded by the Lin Corporation, does she?”

Lin Rufe was furious. How could someone she had fired be hired by Nanyuan? What kind of company was Nanyuan? Even an ordinary branch could easily crush the Lin Corporation. How could Zhao Dong, whom she had personally fired, deserve such a position?

She had seen Zhao Dong shining on stage earlier and refused to believe that someone she had fired could climb so high in Nanyuan and achieve such glory.

Zhao Dong looked at Lin Rufe disdainfully. “President Nan has a discerning eye for talent, unlike some people who are short-sighted.”

“Who are you calling short-sighted? President Nan must have been deceived by you to hire you. I’m going to find her right now and tell her everything. Let’s see if she still keeps you.”

Zhao Dong shrugged indifferently. “Suit yourself.”

“Just you wait!”

Lin Rufe immediately instructed her assistant to arrange a meeting with President Nan. She had donated so much money, surely President Nan would treat her as an honored guest.

However, to Lin Rufe’s surprise, her assistant returned with the news that President Nan refused to see her.

Publicly rejected and unable to save face, Lin Rufe’s expression turned sour.

“How is this possible?” she couldn’t believe it. She had donated so many precious calligraphy and painting works just to ingratiate herself with Nanyuan and meet President Nan. Why would she refuse to see her?

Seeing her dejected expression, Zhao Dong told her the truth. “President Nan will not see you.”

Lin Rufe declared confidently, “Don’t get too cocky. President Nan is just busy right now. She’ll definitely see me later. Once I meet her, I’ll make sure she fires you.”

Nanxi, standing not far away, overheard her tone and let out a cold laugh. “You’re the one who’s blind and foolish, unable to distinguish pearls from fish eyes. You lost a talented general, and you think Nanyuan is as short-sighted as you?”

A talent like Zhao Dong was someone Nanyuan cherished deeply.

Lin Rufei had been directing all her anger at Zhao Dong earlier and hadn’t noticed Nanxi. Hearing her speak, she immediately sneered, “What right does a mere manager like you have to speak here?”

“This is Nanyuan Group, not your Lin Corporation. If you can bark like a dog here, why can’t I speak?”

“You!” Lin Rufei fumed. “I’m going to see President Nan right now and have her throw you out. Let’s see how arrogant you’ll be then.”

“You want to see President Nan?” Nanxi asked.

“What’s it to you?”

“Someone like you, I doubt she’d be willing to meet you.”

“You’re just a project manager, yet you act as if you’re the general manager.” Lin Rufei shot Nanxi a disdainful glance before turning to Zhao Dong, commanding him in her usual authoritative tone, “I’m an honored guest at today’s charity event. Take me to see President Nan.”

After speaking, she cast another triumphant glare at Nanxi, thinking that once she met the young lady of the Nan family, Nanxi wouldn’t be able to laugh anymore.

Zhao Dong glanced at Nanxi. “You’ve already met her.”

Lin Rufei didn’t understand. “What do you mean? Didn’t you hear what I said? I donated so many calligraphy and paintings, I want to meet President Nan in person. If you delay this meeting, you won’t be able to bear the consequences.”

Zhao Dong sighed helplessly. “I’ve made it very clear. Our President Nan is already standing right here, and you’ve seen her.”

Lin Rufei looked around and began to laugh coldly. “There are only three of us standing here. Where is President Nan?”

As she finished speaking, her gaze suddenly fell on Nanxi’s face, especially noticing Zhao Dong’s respectful expression toward her. She was stunned. “What do you mean? Don’t tell me she’s the President Nan you’re talking about.”

What a ridiculous joke.

“That’s right. She is Nanxi, the president of Nanyuan Group.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Rufei burst into laughter. “Nanxi, you’re utterly shameless! Just because your surname is Nan, you think you’re the young lady of the Nan family? If that were the case, then all those with the surname Li would be the richest people in the country, wouldn’t they?”

Nanxi watched calmly as Lin Rufei laughed hysterically.

The truth was right in front of her, but she refused to believe it.

“Believe it or not, it’s up to you.” With that, Nanxi turned and left.

Zhao Dong followed closely behind, leaving the scene with her.

Inside the elevator, Zhao Dong looked at Nanxi’s cold expression and spoke slowly, “Lin Rufei probably doesn’t believe that you’re President Nan.”

“She will believe it.”

Nanxi had already arranged everything. What just happened was merely a prelude soon, someone would make Lin Rufei understand that Nanxi was indeed the young lady of the Nan family.

She wanted Lin Rufei to hear with her own ears the fact that she was the president of Nanyuan Group, to make her realize that the Nan family she had spent a fortune trying to curry favor with was none other than Nanxi herself.

Lin Rufei loved to act arrogantly, didn’t she? Well, Nanxi would crush that arrogance and humiliate her.

After watching Nanxi leave, Lin Rufei shot a few cold glances in her direction.

If Nanxi was the young lady of the Nan family, then she herself was the daughter of the world’s richest man.

If Nanxi were truly the young lady of the Nan family, how could she have stooped to being Qin Xiaozhe’s executive assistant for five years, only to be ignored and cheated on by him?

Having reasoned it all out, Lin Rufei was convinced that Nanxi had fabricated her identity, it was nothing but a temporary act of hypocrisy.

Mrs. Lin called, and Lin Rufei answered the phone. On the other end, her mother urged her, “We’ve already shown enough sincerity this time. You must seize the opportunity to get to know Miss Nan and, ideally, become friends with her. Only then can our Lin family overcome the current crisis. Once Miss Nan becomes your friend, future collaborations will be no problem.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely meet Miss Nan today.”

After hanging up, Lin Rufei confidently approached the staff and presented her donation records from the charity event. She said, “I am the eldest daughter of the Lin family and currently serve as the deputy general manager of the Qin Group. Both the Lin and Qin families have demonstrated considerable sincerity at the charity event. Please inform Miss Nan that I would like to meet her.”

The staff member looked at Lin Rufei in surprise and said, “Miss Lin, haven’t you already met Miss Nan?”
