Chapter 64 Founder and Chief Executive...
Nan Fei was completely bewildered, but Yan Nanxing's overt joy was contagious, and her expression softened. "Let's go, then."
The two of them went downstairs together. The "guests" were already seated. The delicacies on the table were obviously not made by Nan Fei. However, before they came, Yan Nanxing said that someone would bring dinner. Nan Fei said that he was too good at exploiting people, and at the same time, she thought that she had to do something herself, so she made a simple cold dish.
His eyes fell on the smashed cucumber that Nan Fei had carefully prepared, and Yan Nanxing couldn't help but chuckle.
The two were too close, and Nan Fei knew what he was laughing at almost instantly. She frowned slightly, secretly raised her hand and tugged at Yan Nanxing's shirt, almost pulling the corner of the shirt out.
Yan Nanxing immediately joked: "Hey, why are you touching me in front of others?"
Before Nan Fei's expression could truly change, Yan Nanxing readily stepped forward, attracting the attention of the two people in front of him. "Oh, it's already on the table! I thought you were still talking to Nan Fei about this and that."
This remark was too pointed, and Xing Rui cheerfully retorted, "You too, are you afraid that if I say a few more words I'll expose your embarrassing past?"
"I don't have anything embarrassing to do. You're the one who's been embarrassed more easily over the years."
The dining table is not very big, it is a relatively cozy small square table. When I first bought it, I didn’t think about how many people would step into this house in the future. Now, it seems just right for four people to sit on each side.
As the atmosphere became more lively, Xing Rui began to warm up the atmosphere again. Taking advantage of Yan Nanxing's words, he couldn't help but complain: "Oh, oh, someone reminded me. I only told Nan Fei about your later life and forgot to mention that when you were a child..."
Yan Nanxing had just picked up the chopsticks, but before they fell into his bowl, he placed them heavily on his right hand, saying with a forced smile: "Eat, can't eating stop you from eating?"
The other two people watching couldn't help laughing.
Nan Fei pretended to be a bystander and asked Wan Quan, "Have they always been like this?"
Wan Quan smiled and shook his head: "I haven't been here long, I don't know."
"But considering the relationship between Boss Xing and President Yan, I guess so."
The two men's chirping was quite loud, but at least it calmed down the noise from the other side. Yan Nanxing pushed his chopsticks over and smiled, "Since you're the guest today, you can eat first."
Xing Rui: "...Don't talk nonsense, the dishes are made by my chef."
The voice was not loud, but one could probably guess from his expression. Xing Rui intended to accept Yan Nanxing's rare kindness, but he didn't twitch. He looked up in confusion and saw someone approaching and whispering, "Be careful, don't reveal everything. You think you can trust those two people above you, but who knows how they think of me, understand?"
Xing Rui's expression changed slightly: "I know my limits. I won't let my brother know about your relationship with Nan Fei."
The two of them quickly distanced themselves from each other, and their movements were so fast that no one could have guessed that they had exchanged such a brief moment.
The atmosphere was just right. Nan Fei remembered Yan Nanxing's excessive excitement upstairs and casually mentioned, "What good news did you receive that makes you look so happy?"
When the topic of fragmented information was brought up, Yan Nanxing smiled slightly: "By the way, I think I can talk to Nan Fei about this matter. What do you think?"
Yan Nanxing didn't hide anything when he came down with the letter, and the other two knew exactly what he was talking about.
Wan Quan: "This is your main business, I have no right to interfere. Moreover, considering the relationship between the two of you, I also feel it is necessary to speak up."
Xing Rui: "Just tell me, you haven't told him what you do yet, have you?"
Nan Fei, the only one kept in the dark, was intrigued. Turning around, his gaze was clear: "Isn't your main business a short video blogger? No, it should be your family business?"
A pair of bright eyes looked intently at Yan Nanxing, waiting for his explanation.
"Well... strictly speaking, those don't count." Yan Nanxing raised her lips and raised her head towards Wan Quan. The latter immediately took out Yan Nanxing's business card from his bag and handed it to Nan Fei. "Formally introduce yourself. I'm Yan Nanxing, founder and chief executive director of Yian Medicinal Materials Manufacturing Co., Ltd."
The business card has a simple and clear design, which is a contrast to Yan Nanxing's previous fancy and eye-catching decorations, but the focus is particularly clear. Nan Fei's first reaction was surprise, and then he directly grasped the key point.
He suddenly looked up and asked, "Are you competing with your grandfather?"
Yan Nanxing's eyes were full of pride, which was not the look of a resentful second or third generation. Based on Nan Fei's understanding of him, Yan Nanxing's expression showed that he was not just building a small company that could be found anywhere.
Nan Fei's face showed a look of astonishment, and the three of them couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Xing Rui reminded her, "You can search on the spot to see how famous Yian is now."
"No need to search, I know." Nan Fei's expression gradually returned to calm, and he explained silently, "My father... has a small cooperation with Yian, which will be next month."
Now, it was the turn of the other three people unexpectedly.
Yan Nanxing raised an eyebrow. He knew his company's affairs best. He quickly searched his mind and asked, "Is it the charity event in the mountains next month?"
"Yes." Nan Fei turned and looked him in the eye. "My father's name is Nan Hongyu, but I think you might be more familiar with my grandfather's name, Rongwen."
As soon as this name came out, everyone present fell silent.
Xing Rui opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, his eyes wide open: "Are you referring to Mr. Rong Wen, the military expert?"
Nan Fei smiled shyly. "Well, but he died early. My father was his late-born son and took my grandmother's last name, so I don't have a deep impression of my grandfather. My father didn't have any talent for military service. He was a university professor like my grandfather."
He was a military talent worthy of being called a general. The name I had heard of in history books suddenly appeared in my ears, which really made me feel a little unreal.
No wonder Nan Fei has such a backer and supporter...
Xing Rui pulled Yan Nanxing: "I feel that you are not worthy of Nan Fei now."
Yan Nanxing slapped his hand away: "Is it your turn to comment?"
"I'm really thinking about your future." Xing Rui looked worried. "Promise me, Nanxing, that you'll be serious about your relationship this time, okay? Don't just treat it as a joke."
The other party's background can really ignore your financial resources.
"No, I remember you debuted entirely on your own strength. It seems your family didn't support you?"
Wan Quan raised a timely question, and Nan Fei nodded and replied, "Because my parents didn't support me entering the industry at first, I really debuted on my own. However, the reason for collaborating with the official agency was that they just happened to need a spokesperson, and they came to me because of my father's identity... The agency team has considered it, and I personally support their policy direction. It can be considered a mutually beneficial situation."
Of course, it wasn't just Nan Fei's background that made him the choice. Another very important reason was that Nan Fei himself was excellent, and he was also a man of integrity and good family background. From every perspective, he was the best candidate, so it was hard to say which side had the upper hand.
This sentence explains a lot of things.
"So, your career path in the industry is determined because the authorities need your visible influence on the masses and young people. Therefore, it's normal for you to participate in charitable activities." Wan Quan summarized and found something interesting. "So, what does your father, a university professor, have to do with this?"
Wanquan had sharp ears, so of course he understood that the person who was cooperating with Yian was Nanfei's father.
Nan Fei pondered for a moment and explained, "I haven't asked him specifically about this. I just happened to hear him mention it. However, my father often does some funding activities, and he happened to mention it a lot recently, so I remembered this name."
He turned to Yan Nanxing, his eyes softening considerably. "I only just found out that our cooperation partner is you guys. I suddenly want to know more about the specific activities."
Starting your own business from scratch is not something that can be achieved overnight. According to Nan Fei's understanding, his father would never cooperate with some unknown small businesses because charitable acts are more important than actual benefits. Reputable and powerful companies are much more reliable.
He fully understood this move, so it was still amazing to know that Yan Nanxing was able to build a company to this level from its inception in just a few years.
Nan Fei's eyes revealed his deep confusion. Yan Nanxing pondered for a moment before offering an explanation: "I previously only knew that this initiator frequently handled charitable activities and had made multiple selections before submitting the application. However, when we received the cooperation notice, we hadn't expected anything."
"Actually, Yian is far smaller than you think. It's still a newly established company. However, we have been providing financial support for children in mountainous areas to go to school every year without interruption. We also carry out other activities, both large and small. I guess Mr. Nan agreed because of this."
As he spoke, he laughed again: "In fact, up to now, Yian has just started on the road of making money. Before this, Xing Rui and I have always been supporting its development."
Nan Fei suddenly figured it out: "Relying on being an internet celebrity and running an MCN company as a side job?"
Yan Nanxing and Xing Rui smiled knowingly.
No wonder, no wonder they see this as a side job.
Because for them, this is indeed a side job, and the focus is not here, so being an Internet celebrity is also about studying how to mobilize traffic to the greatest extent to make money, so as to better subsidize the "homepage"
It is for the ideal, it is for the pursuit.
Nan Fei suddenly felt that her father might not only be grateful for Yian’s consistent funding over the years, but also recognized the resilience of the entrepreneur behind it.
Perhaps, his father would be happy to meet Yan Nanxing.
"I understand now," Nan Fei said, suddenly enlightened, but still didn't miss the point he'd made in the beginning. "But I really want to know, since your family is clearly in the business of doing this, why did you want to start your own business?"
