Ouyang Mansion

"I should have come to visit much earlier, but I've been busy with company registration, so I've been delayed. Please forgive me, Uncle!"

Ouyang Ming calmly observed the person in front of him. Seeing that the other party remained composed, he was slightly satisfied. At least he wasn't a coward who only knew how to hide in the shadows.

Although Zheng Yu had mentioned it before, he thought it was just polite talk, but he didn't expect Xu Yanshu to actually have the guts to visit him.

“It’s alright. Great men don’t concern themselves with trifles,” Ouyang Ming waved his hand dismissively, his serious expression gradually easing. “I heard from Zhengyu that you’re planning to get into the building materials business.”

So what are your plans for the future?

Having finally received a response, Xu Yanshu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He wiped the sweat from his palms without making a sound, and then began to explain his general business plan.

"I plan to first explore the market myself, familiarize myself with the basic market situation, and then plan to take on some projects that I can handle."

In business, you can't expect to get rich overnight. There are already quite a few established companies in the Chengdu building materials industry. If you want to establish yourself, you have to take a steady and solid approach.

Ouyang Ming nodded as if he understood, and then teased, "You're already President Xu, yet you're still personally going out to the market?"

Seeing how prosperous business is now, many people are eager to get a piece of the pie, but very few can stick with it. Most people work hard for three days and then rest for two.

Listening to Xu Yanshu's plan, which proceeded step by step and was well-organized, it was clear that he was not just a show-off who could only shout slogans. If he could really settle down and do things, he might be able to achieve something great.

So it seems that Zheng Yu wasn't just bragging; this Xu Yanshu really does have some skills.

Xu Yanshu felt embarrassed by these words. He coughed awkwardly twice. Ouyang Ming, who was sitting in front of him, was a person who had a voice in the entire domestic business circle. He dared not be presumptuous in front of him no matter what.

Seeing the other person's sudden awkwardness, a glint of interest flashed in Zhou Shengyu's eyes, and he continued speaking to himself, "Speaking of which, when I was starting my business, I spent a lot of time running around the market."

"It took a long time of enduring wind and sun before I finally signed my first big deal. After that, I learned many lessons before I was able to get back on the right track."

"But if a company wants to go far, no matter how much it pursues profit, it cannot completely abandon its conscience, otherwise it will only be a flash in the pan."

Knowing full well that these were heartfelt words, Xu Yanshu looked up at the person gratefully, then nodded in deep agreement, "That's the truth, I'll always remember it!"

The two then chatted about other business matters, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.

“I’m not against you and Shengyi dating, but we only have this one precious daughter, so we naturally have to be careful about some things.”

"Back then, I sent her to Baoning to study out of a desire to protect her, but who knew she would suffer such injustice..." Speaking of this, Ouyang Ming's demeanor visibly sombered, then he looked up at the person before him with gratitude.

"So I want to thank you, thank you for protecting my little girl at that time!"

Offering help in times of need is a profound act of kindness, and in this matter alone, I should sincerely thank Xu Yanshu.

Xu Yanshu subconsciously waved his hand. Looking at the tenderness in Ouyang Ming's eyes, he couldn't help but be touched. So this was the true way to love one's daughter.

"I understand your thoughts. I don't want Shengyi to suffer because of being with me. Uncle, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

"I will show you with my actions that you will hand your daughter over to me!" Xu Yanshu nodded solemnly and made a solemn promise.

In wealthy families, matching social status is highly valued. Not to mention that he doesn't have any impressive background and has just been divorced, logically speaking, he is absolutely not qualified to be with Shengyi.

Ouyang Ming did not deny himself, which alone was enough to make him grateful. The other party's concerns and worries were also reasonable.

Ouyang Ming nodded slightly. Actually, now that he thinks about it, being divorced isn't a big deal. He and his wife don't care about being well-matched in terms of social status.

The key is that this person must have enough sense of responsibility and be able to wholeheartedly treat their own daughter well.

Seeing that it was almost time, Xu Yanshu stood up from the sofa on his own. "Uncle, if there's nothing else to say, I'll head back now!"

"Okay, things are almost finished. Shengyi will be back soon. You're welcome to come visit us again when you have time!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yanshu was overjoyed and quickly nodded in agreement before turning and striding away.

Looking at the other person's tall and imposing back, Ouyang Ming nodded in satisfaction. This time, Nannan really hadn't misjudged him.

After regaining his senses, he reached for his phone and called Qin Shengyi, who was overseas.

"Hey, Nannan, your friend came over and just left."

The person on the other end was clearly silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "So..."

"Anyway, my first impression of her was pretty good. The rest depends on what my wife, your mother, thinks."

"If you've finished dealing with things over there, you should start preparing to go home."
