Chapter 238: Nan Xuan’s Phone Call
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the end, he was still too young. Nan Xuan’s collaboration this time ended in failure.
Nan Xuan thought that he was not sincere enough, so he could only ask him out for a few more meals. However, every time, he ended up with nothing.
“The other companies don’t have time either?” Nan Xuan pinched the s.p.a.ce between his eyebrows and asked.
The secretary shook his head honestly. “They all said that they had other plans.”
Upon receiving such an answer, Nan Xuan did not know what to say. He could only ask the secretary to leave first.
He couldn’t wait for President Xiang forever. Nan Xuan also began to think of other ways. Otherwise, if the company continued to incur losses, it would not be long before it declared bankruptcy.
In the end, the company that met the requirements did not even meet anyone and directly rejected the invitation.
He vaguely sensed that something was wrong. Even if the company’s situation was not good now, it was not to the point of being rejected everywhere. However, those companies rejected the request for cooperation without even giving a simple explanation.
“Am 1 being targeted…” he spat out in frustration.
Without cooperation, there would be no income. If there was no income, they would go bankrupt.
At this moment, Nan Xuan’s heart felt like it was being roasted on a grill. It was torturous, hot, and he could not find a breakthrough.
Fortunately, he still had some connections left thanks to Nan Kang. He should be able to get help because of the favor he was owed. Nan Xuan planned in his heart and asked his secretary to book a private room to invite someone.
When it was night time, Nan Xuan drove to the hotel.
“h.e.l.lo, I’ve reserved a private room.” He went in and explained to the waiter.
Nan Xuan gave him a number. After the front desk staff confirmed that there was no mistake, they led him to the elevator.
The hotel was luxuriously decorated and was of five-star standard. This time, in order to give the company a chance to turn around, Nan Xuan could be said to have spent a lot of money and booked the most expensive private room.
“Go to the end of this corridor, please.” The person who led the way reminded him softly and stopped.
Nan Xuan nodded and walked towards the private room.
He repeatedly breathed to make himself feel as good as possible. After all, it was a matter of asking for help, so he could not be too arrogant.
The door was getting closer. Nan Xuan stepped on the red carpet to close the distance. Just as he was about to reach out and push open the door, he heard a faint voice from inside.
“If I didn’t owe them a favor, I wouldn’t even want to come to this meal.” A deep voice said.
His tone sounded a little disdainful, and there seemed to be a hint of imperceptible fear.
Another voice followed, sounding more stable. “We’ll deal with it later.”
The perfunctoriness in his words immediately made Nan Xuan frown, and the atmosphere around him became depressing.
“That’s the only way. The Murong family has spoken. Who dares to disobey?” The deep voice continued.
When he mentioned the Murong family, he lowered his voice. It was obvious that he was afraid.
“He probably offended someone. It’s best if we don’t be curious about such things.”
Murong…
Nan Xuan was familiar with this surname. He thought of Murong Qiao almost instantly.
The hands hanging by his sides gradually clenched into fists. Nan Xuan felt his anger boil and rush to the top of his head, destroying his originally regulated mood.
She had actually gone to such extremes…
He subconsciously blamed this on Murong Qiao.
Nan Xuan took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
As soon as they saw him, the two people who had been discussing tacitly stopped talking and greeted Nan Xuan.
“CEO Nan is young and promising. He can share his father’s burdens at such a young age, unlike my son…”
The owner of the deep voice spoke first.
Nan Xuan had a faint smile on his face, but the rationality in his eyes was cold.
If it was in the past, these words would sound like a compliment to people, but in the current situation, it sounded more like sarcasm.
But now that the company was riddled with holes, and Nan Xuan had just learned outside the door that these two people had no intention of helping him at all, his heart was even colder than the harsh winter.
“There are still many things I don’t understand that I need to learn.” Nan Xuan smiled humbly.
They had originally thought that Nan Xuan was going to mention the collaboration and the company, but after waiting for a long time, there was no movement.
The two CEOs looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other’s eyes.
The meal looked happy on the surface, and Nan Xuan’s behavior looked like he was trying to bond with them. He did not mention the company’s difficulties at all.
This silence lasted until it ended. When Nan Xuan was the only one left in the private room, it was suddenly broken by the sound of a bottle shattering.
“Murong Qiao!”
The expensive red wine was thrown to the ground by him. The scarlet wine blended into the carpet, revealing a dazzling and eye-catching dark color.
It was undoubtedly an action to vent his anger, but after the wine bottle shattered, it had the opposite effect.
Nan Xuan looked at a certain spot in a daze. He leaned against the back of the chair dispiritedly, a sense of powerlessness surging in his heart.
It was not that he had not thought of other ways. Even when he was talking to the two CEOs after pushing open the door, he was thinking about what benefits he had to offer to persuade them to help him.
However, all his thoughts ended with the surname Murong.
In today’s business world, the Murong family’s deterrence was unimaginable.
Then what was his hard work for the past few days? A final struggle?
Perhaps this was exactly what Murong Qiao wanted to see.
Thinking of this, Nan Xuan sneered coldly. He reached out to pick up the wine beside him and poured it into his mouth.
No one knew where the unused wine gla.s.ses had gone, but the number of empty wine bottles gradually increased.
He couldn’t remember how much he had drunk in the end. He only felt that his movements were mechanical. In the end, he sat on the ground with bottles piled up beside him.
Alcohol could always accurately find the emotions that could make people despair the most, just like Nan Xuan’s powerlessness and anger at this moment.
“The cell phone… where…” Nan Xuan could not even speak clearly.
He wanted to reach out for his cell phone, but his limbs wouldn’t listen to him at all. After searching for a long time, he couldn’t find what he wanted.
Nan Xuan pushed away the bottles around him in frustration. His body swayed as if he could tilt to the side at any time.
Finally, he found his cell phone on the carpet not far from him.
Fortunately, facial recognition worked on a drunkard. After unlocking his cell phone, Nan Xuan opened his contact and found Murong Qiao’s number to call.
The dial tone sounded.
This ringtone eliminated the possibility of Huo Yichen and her Big Brothers calling. Murong Qiao was typing at the moment.
She finished typing the last line unhurriedly before taking the time to look at the caller’s name.
Nan Xuan?
Murong Qiao looked at the caller ID, frowned, and rejected the call without hesitation.
She still had to write and didn’t want to talk to Nan Xuan. After ending the call, she ignored him and continued to write.
However, the call that had been rejected rang again.
The buzzing sound traveled from the table to Murong Qiao’s wrist, reminding her of its presence.
The call wasn’t answered, and the vibrations were getting bigger and bigger, and even Yang Xin and Leng Yan could hear it.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the words “What’s going on” in each other’s eyes.
The vibration would naturally stop when the time was up. However, the person on the other end of the cell phone seemed to have endless patience and called again and again..
