Chapter 136: Business
I joked. “Thankfully I was running a legitimate business or else Master Liu would have caught red-handed.”
Gu Nian smiled. “So is Nanxing interested in taking on more contract deals?”
I looked at him. “If they are legitimate, I don’t see why not?”
Gu Nian pointed at the Starbucks. “Shall we discuss them in more details then?”
I nodded and followed him. Gu Nian’s assistant was already waiting there. This ant that Gu Nian ca to find in person and he didn’t send his assistant to do so. I felt moved and respected.
Gu Nian took a file from his assistant and handed it to . “Nanxing, there are 5 companies in here. The requests are the sa. The deposit is 200,000 RMB. I’ll pay you the rest after the transaction is completed.” Gu Nian said.
I opened the file and scanned through the basic info of 5 companies. I put the docunts back. Touching the edge of the file, I asked, “Master Liu, why ? Many people could do this job.”
Gu Nian smiled. “Caution is a virtue.”
I didn’t answer.
Gu Nian added plainly, “I need new people to the scene to do this so that people won’t trace it back to so easily. If they do, it’ll make my life more difficult. So, Nanxing, you’re the best candidate.”
“Really, you think I’m the best candidate to look into the Nan Family?” My finger tapped the file twice.
Gu Nian continued matter-of-factly. “Why not? I believe you will turn your eyes on the Nan Family eventually. I am just pushing that agenda ahead for you. Also I’ll be paying you for it.”
I nodded. “So I have nothing to lose.” Gu Nian nodded with a smile.
I looked at the contract Gu Nian’s assistant handed and I signed my na.?Okay! I will be taking this business deal!
Gu Nian’s smile deepened. “Nanxing, have people told you that you look like your mother?” I nodded. Gu Nian then added, “But you remind of your father too.” I looked at him. This was the first ti soone told I resembled my father. Whenever people brought up my parents, my mother would overshadow my father. Most people only knew him through my mother.
Gu Nian smiled gently. “Like your father, you are clever, cautious, brave and responsible. He was a very unique and good person.”
I was intrigued. “How did you know my father?”
“Let’s just say we admired each other!” Gu Nian uttered it like it was no big deal. “How about this? Nanxing, I’ll tell more about your father after you complete this business deal.”
How could I say no?
I accepted the contract and took it back to the library to show Jing Ni. She was happy because we got another business. However, when she saw Nan Family Corporation, she was shocked. I tapped her shoulders and shared with her my thoughts. Jing Ni looked at with widened eyes.
“Nanxing, are you sure about going after the Nan Corporation?” She asked in trepidation.
I lowered my head to look at the contract. “Jing Ni, don’t you find the appearance of this Master Liu suspicious? Plus, my little uncle and Jing Tian have been up to sothing recently. I suspect they’re planning sothing big without telling us.”
Jing Ni looked at in surprise.
…
I was a person of my words. Since I had taken this job then I would do my best. However, when the Nan Corporation’s business details appeared before my eyes, I was stunned. I didn’t expect the company to be running in such deficit!
My little uncle liked to run his mouth but he didn’t actually apply any financial sanctions on the Nan Corporations so how did the company’s finances be so bad?
Where was all the money? How did Nan Feng embezzle the entire Nan Corporation?
Based on Brother Hu’s investigation, for the Nan Family, other than the few real estates they owned, they were basically living on debts and air.
Jing Ni and I looked into the business partners of the Nan Family. I noticed that they had many business deals with the Shi Family and Master Gu Er.
“None of their business connection makes sense.” Jing Ni comnted.
“What kind of circumstance would make soone do sothing like this? To risk everything due to desperation. Nan Feng is crazy.” I asked Jing Ni.
“Well, they might be threatened. Take for example, your relationship with 7th uncle. I threaten to expose it to the whole world and to stop from doing that, you would do everything I ask.”
I looked at Jing Ni silently for a long ti. My heart was rocked to its core.
