Shen Qiang was stunned by the situation; he'd just slept here, and the next day, without waiting to get up, her dad ca over. If they t face to face, it would be incredibly awkward.
Fortunately, Xu Nan said to stay in the room, so it seems that Xu Nan's bedroom must have been specially treated, making it impossible for Divine Sense to observe what was happening inside. If that's the case, then there's nothing to worry about.
But hearing Xu Nan going downstairs to greet them, Shen Qiang still felt that continuing to lie in bed was unreliable.
He hurriedly got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
While taking a shower, Shen Qiang used his Divine Sense to observe the situation downstairs.
Downstairs.
Xu Nan's father had co with more than thirty people.
Each was in a suit, appearing very fierce.
However, most of them seed like bodyguards, and after arriving at Xu Nan's small villa, they spread around. Truly following Xu Nan's father into the villa were only seven people.
"Father, why didn't you give a heads-up when you were coming?" Xu Nan was sowhat embarrassed.
A middle-aged man, seemingly in his forties, well-grood, about 1.7 ters tall, smiled and said, "It was a sudden event; I decided to co here last minute."
Xu Nan responded with an "Oh."
Then she said to the two elders following her father, "Great Elder, Second Elder, please have a seat. Today's just right as the housekeeper is not here; I'll make you so tea."
"No need for tea. We didn't co all this way just for tea."
Xu Nan then asked, "Then who are you two?"
Just then, Shen Qiang, bathing in the bathroom, heard an elder's sowhat hoarse voice saying.
"Sit and talk. This ti we ca to ask whether you sold a Jiazi Pill yesterday?"
Sitting beside her father, Xu Nan smiled, "Yes, I did sell a Jiazi Pill yesterday for 2.5 billion. The company's finance departnt should have already reported it."
"Bold!" An elder downstairs slamd the table, causing Shen Qiang in the bathroom to frown.
"Why didn't you report such an important matter to the family?" An elder said angrily, "What right do you have to decide to sell the Jiazi Pill on your own?"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang in the bathroom instinctively felt sothing seed off.
"Second Elder, what do you an by this?" Xu Nan's voice downstairs turned cold, "Our Wanxin Heshen runs a business handling transactions on behalf of two parties. Custors co for consignnt. Buyers co to bid. We make a commission— this has never changed."
"Yes, you're right. Wanxin Heshen indeed earns money this way, but what is the Jiazi Pill? A miraculous item that can extend life by sixty years. According to family regulations, such items must be reported imdiately to the company's higher-ups."
"You, a re branch manager, what qualifications do you have to decide to auction it silently?" the elder said angrily.
Hearing this, Xu Nan furrowed her brows and sternly said, "Second Elder, I respect you, so please control your emotions. Shen Qiang has been giving the exclusive agency rights for the Jiazi Pill for quite a while now, and I've inford the family about it. Yet, you're making a fuss coming here, is it to confront ?"
"Who knew the Jiazi Pill was real!" the Second Elder roared, "Had we known earlier that Shen Qiang's Jiazi Pill wasn't just a publicity stunt, we would have told you first and inford the family when we got it."
"Whatever you think is your problem," Xu Nan raised an eyebrow, "Don't bla . I didn't do anything wrong, so if there's nothing else, I have things to do, and please..."
"Shut up!" At this mont, another Great Elder also slamd the table and said, "Xu Nan, don't think just because your dad is the nominal Family Head of Wanxin Heshen, you can do as you please. How many Jiazi Pills did Shen Qiang give you? Hand them over!"
Hearing this, Shen Qiang, who was washing his hair under the shower, paused before continuing.
At this ti, downstairs, Xu Nan said in a cold voice.
"Why should I hand over the Jiazi Pills Shen Qiang entrusted to ? Moreover, according to the original agreent, whoever's store profits the most and leads others by half a year can qualify as the heir to Wanxin Heshen; I've already t the standards. Why don't you discuss this matter?"
Hearing Xu Nan's words, the Second Elder sharply said, "You have led other stores by half a year, but you have many issues."
"What issues? Where are they?" Xu Nan raised an eyebrow.
The living room fell into a peculiar silence before the Second Elder said in a somber voice, "Your biggest issue is that you're a woman, so no matter how well you do, we will not hand over Wanxin Heshen to you!"
Xu Nan gritted her teeth in anger.
The five young n sitting on the sofa chuckled.
"It's useless; I've long said that even if you do better than , the next Family Head won't be you."
"Hahaha, really no self-awareness."
"That's hilarious. Just prepare to get married peacefully instead of insisting on being a manager and competing with us. The previous agreent was just to appease your emotions, and you actually took it seriously."
While several young n laughed, the Great Elder said in a deep voice, "Xiao Nan, you must understand that the fact remains that Shen Qiang entrusted you with the Jiazi Pill agency. However, what he values even more undoubtedly is Wanxin Heshen's reputation and scale, so hand over the Jiazi Pills. Let your second brother take over this business, and he can naturally beco the next Family Head of Wanxin Heshen."
"Hurry and hand it over; I'm waiting to take it back and show it to my clients to impress them," a young man sitting on the sofa arrogantly shook his crossed legs.
Seeing their arrogant behavior, Xu Nan's eyes gradually turned cold and she said, "What if I don't hand it over?"
"If you dare not hand it over, you're a traitor to the family! And even your dad can't protect you!" The Second Elder forcefully slamd the table in fury.
Xu Nan suddenly stood up, and as her jade-like hands clenched, a huge section of space around her collapsed instantly.
"Xiao Nan!" Xu Nan's father, who had remained silent, grabbed onto Xu Nan and sighed, "I know it's very unfair, but let it go."
"You want to hand it over too?" Xu Nan angrily said with tears streaming down, "Why? Just because I'm a woman, should I be bullied no matter how hard I try?"
"Yes, you're a woman, and so you deserve not to beco the heir!" the young man said with a raised eyebrow, smiling from the sofa with crossed legs, "So just hand over the Jiazi Pills obediently, don't waste our ti. And to be honest with you, not even your dad, who is just the Family Head in na, can save you."
Creek.
Upstairs, hearing these words, Shen Qiang turned off the tap.
He shook his head to get rid of the water droplets from his hair, then nonchalantly grabbed Xu Nan's pink towel beside him, wrapped it around his waist, slipped into Xu Nan's pink slippers that let his heels hang out, pulled open the door, and directly walked out of Xu Nan's room.
As he went downstairs, he casually said, "Yo, didn't know such big shots ca to the Provincial City."
