Chapter 79 Chapter 079 "Then, let's make an appointment..."
Yan Nanxing acted nonchalant and calmly suggested, "Go ahead and do your work. We'll have plenty of time to chat after you're done."
"Hey, what are you busy with? It's not as important as your business!" Xing Rui finished chatting with the tour guide, sent him back and told him to contact him tomorrow. Then he hurried over to Yan Nanxing and asked, "The person you went down the mountain to pick up was Nan Fei? Is that true?"
Yan Nanxing snorted and laughed: "Why would I lie to you?"
"No, this Mr. Nan is working on a project on his own and even bringing his son along?" Xing Rui couldn't help but raise his voice a little, then lowered it under Yan Nanxing's elbow. "Damn, I've never heard of Nan Fei participating before?"
"Well, this time he applied to join himself."
After hearing the explanation, Xing Rui's eyes couldn't help but become ambiguous: "Oh my, so I came here just for you~"
Yan Nanxing clicked his tongue: "Can you please speak properly?"
However, this is indeed the case, and no matter who hears it, it is difficult to suppress the smile.
"Oh, if you ask me, you're just not as good as him in this regard. He wants to meet you but doesn't take the initiative, letting you find excuses to put it off. And yet, he overcomes all obstacles and comes to you." Xing Rui sighed with emotion. He felt from the bottom of his heart that Nan Fei was a man of integrity. In contrast, his own brother suddenly felt inferior in every way. "Look at his attitude, and then look at yourself. I'm telling you, cherish the one you have, okay? Not everyone is as lucky as you, with the one you love always running towards you unwaveringly. Not everyone has the opportunity to love someone."
They were originally talking about Yan Nanxing, but as they chatted, the topic inexplicably came back to themselves. They both thought of the person they couldn't keep, and fell silent for a long time.
Yan Nanxing took a deep breath and threw a punch: "You are really worthy of being like this. You insult others and stab yourself at the same time."
This isn't the right atmosphere for jokes.
Yan Nanxing looked up and saw the tour guide packing up and preparing to leave. He simply changed the subject: "What were you talking about with the tour guide just now?"
"Oh, I'm talking about accommodations for the next few days." Xing Rui walked down the stairs. "The nearest hotel in the surrounding area is about a kilometer ahead. It just so happens that the hotel is a relative of the tour guide, maybe an uncle. Let him help negotiate the price."
Yan Nanxing nodded and said, "Let's rest for tonight. This mountain road is still a main road after all. It's not considered going up the mountain yet. We have to get up early and be busy tomorrow."
Having made a plan, there was no rush to travel the remaining distance, so I set off right away. After a short rest, I saw someone approaching. When I looked up, I saw Mr. Nan Hongyu coming towards me with a smile, followed by Nan Fei.
"Boss Yan and Boss Xing, let me introduce you two, my sons Nan Fei and Wen Fei. Thanks to Boss Yan for leading the way, otherwise this kid who doesn't know the way around wouldn't know what to do."
Nan Hongyu's attitude was kind, and the two of them couldn't stand the thought of their elders taking care of the baby like this, so they hurriedly stopped him from thanking them. Then Xing Rui said loudly, "Oh, we're all acquaintances, so there's no need to thank them. It's just a matter of convenience."
Nan Fei and Yan Nanxing didn't speak. Nan Hongyu looked up in confusion: "An acquaintance?"
Xing Rui: “…”
Oh no, that couple is being hyped up online and it’s become so popular that it’s hard to miss. But how come Mr. Nan seems to have no idea about it? Isn’t he an only child?
Nan Fei's gaze was indifferent. Seeing that Yan Nanxing didn't speak, she spoke first, "I'm a colleague I worked with some time ago. My dad doesn't like to go online or follow the entertainment industry, so I don't talk to him about these things."
The atmosphere seemed to relax a bit, but then Nan Fei suddenly smiled and said to Nan Hongyu, "Why do you think I'm suddenly interested in your project?"
Nan Hongyu narrowed his eyes and quickly locked onto Yan Nanxing: "I thought so, it turns out you're here for someone else."
Xing Rui gasped at the sudden sharpness and stole a glance at Yan Nanxing beside him. He still had a smile on his face, but he had probably been gone for a while.
While pondering how to smooth things over, Yan Nanxing added frankly, "Well, I don't communicate much with Mr. Nan, so I haven't had the chance to talk yet. Besides being a businessman, I also do some networking work. I met your son by chance, and we had a great conversation."
Yan Nanxing's way of speaking was very rare in the business world. Nan Fei seemed to be angry and competitive, but in fact she was secretly observing his reaction.
"No wonder. Seeing that Mr. Yan is so charming and dashing, it makes sense that he is involved in so many fields."
The three young men each had their own guilty consciences, and the only one who was kept in the dark didn't pay much attention and was really fooled by them.
Xing Rui looked left and right, and began to smooth things over: "Oh, alright, alright, it's so inconvenient to reminisce about the past here. It's getting late, let's go to the hotel first."
After much persuasion, the group continued on their journey. Because of this existing relationship, Mr. Nan simply took the opportunity to chat with the two partners.
This actually made Yan Nanxing feel relieved, as he could openly avoid talking to Nan Fei. As a result, Nan Hongyu, who had never paid attention to his children's career, suddenly turned on the fatherly mode and slowly asked about the details of their acquaintance.
Nan Fei followed slowly on the other side, showing no intention of helping to share the burden.
After taking a glance, Yan Nanxing smiled and spoke in an objective tone, but he could not stand Nan Fei interrupting again and again to add details. Xing Rui, who was the only one who did not participate in the speech, was terrified.
Fortunately, Yan Nanxing has a strong ability to control the situation. He can always find an excuse to make up for it before the content goes off track. At first glance, the whole story portrays Mr. Nan and his relationship as close but not quite like normal good friends. Nan Hongyu always feels that something is strange, but he still can't figure out the secret.
However, at least from Nan Fei's words, all his comments about Yan Nanxing were positive. He believed in his son's judgment of people, so his impression of this young and promising Xiaoyan became much better.
Perhaps because they were holding their breath the whole time, the one-kilometer journey felt even longer than the journey up the mountain. After finally arriving at the destination, Yan Nanxing separated from them on the pretext of arranging accommodation, thus ending this one-sided and unpleasant conversation.
Nan Hongyu's team consisted of about ten people, and according to the standard of two people per room, there was just one extra person. But it didn't matter, they were all men, so it was no big deal if they squeezed together. Yan Nanxing wanted to allocate them an extra room, but Mr. Nan waved his hand and said, "No problem, just stick to the original arrangement. It's troublesome for you to add someone at this last minute. Don't spend too much money on such a small matter."
Yan Nanxing wanted to insist, but was interrupted by Nan Fei this time: "Let's stick to the original plan. I'll squeeze in with you."
Nan Hongyu frowned: "This is outrageous. You are with me. No matter how good our relationship is, this is just business. Don't cause trouble for others."
Nan Fei breathed a sigh of relief and said the most shocking words in the calmest tone: "I have slept with him for two months, so a few days won't make a difference."
The words were so shocking that Xing Rui, who was registering over there, lost interest and just listened with one ear.
Yan Nanxing laughed dryly: "Nan Fei means that when we were recording the show, we shared a bedroom."
Nan Fei raised an eyebrow: "Well, if you say so, then so be it."
To prevent Nan Fei from continuing to rant and saying something unmanageable, Yan Nanxing hurriedly pulled him over and quickly made a decision: "Let's arrange it this way. It just so happens that we have an odd number of people here, so it's just right to even it out."
Having said that, Nan Hongyu couldn't continue to be polite. In addition, he was indeed a little tired after taking a long bus and climbing a mountain road. He simply gave Nan Fei a few words of advice, waved his hand, and went upstairs to rest.
Nan Hongyu's team also followed upstairs, and at Xing Rui's signal, Yan Nanxing's staff also left one after another. Without anyone else around, the two of them could finally speak openly. Yan Nanxing rubbed his nose helplessly, turned his gaze, and said with a hint of helplessness: "Is it fun to scare me like this?"
"To be honest, I didn't mean to ruin your reputation." Nan Fei raised her head and arched her eyebrows slightly. "I thought you would avoid me completely and deny me altogether?"
"I do think so, but it's hard to completely hide a person's subconscious reaction. Covering it up and not saying anything will only make people more likely to imagine something."
Yan Nanxing actually didn't mind the little joke Nan Fei made earlier. To be precise, the scene of Nan Fei and his father appearing at the same time was too sudden, and Yan Nanxing hadn't figured out how to deal with it.
For him, he had never been in a situation so close to losing control, and the reality was more considerate than he thought. Nan Fei took the initiative to bring up the points at which they were familiar with each other, paving the way step by step, which was also a process for the elders to accept.
"But I didn't expect that you really never mentioned it to your family." Thinking back on these short ten minutes, it was full of ups and downs. There was even a moment when Yan Nanxing thought about just not coming clean and taking things one step at a time.
Fortunately, I regained my composure at the critical moment and remembered that this was not an ordinary occasion, but a work situation. If the two main persons in charge of the project had a rift, it would not end well.
Even now, Yan Nanxing still hopes to leave a perfect and good impression on Mr. Nan before the truth comes out.
The final factor that determines whether this goal can be achieved successfully is Nan Fei's attitude.
Yan Nanxing considered it for a moment and then seriously discussed it with him: "I promise you first that the result you want will be realized after I have thought it through. But before that, you need to give me some time to prepare. For example, don't tell your father about it now, or give him a shot. Let me try and convince him to accept it on my own."
Nan Fei was stunned. He didn't expect Yan Nanxing to be under so much pressure in this regard.
Only then did he realize that his actions seemed a bit excessive. On the other hand, wasn't this also putting pressure on Yan Nanxing?
Taking a deep breath, Nan Fei slowly said, "Nan Xing, I'm sorry. I will discuss things with you in advance in the future."
Noticing that he seemed to be introspecting a bit too much, and the atmosphere was slightly solemn, Yan Nanxing turned to comfort him: "Don't apologize, I know you are doing this because you are seriously considering our future, but haste makes waste. My reputation outside is actually completely different from what you see, so I need to make some changes first, so that I can have the confidence to let others know that I stand by you."
Seeing Nan Fei nod seriously, he felt relieved: "Then, let's make three rules."
