Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 42

Just as Ye Nanxun, with a tense expression, was hurrying to the auditorium, the exchange session on the other side had already ended. Everyone had moved to the banquet hall, mingling in small groups, getting to know one another.

After all, in this industry, expanding your network is never a bad thing.

Kou Shaocong was already holding a wine glass, making connections with ease, while Sheng Nuan sat in the corner of the sofa area with Tang Shouping, the deputy manager of procurement at Qingyun Technology.

She knew that Tang Shouping approaching her likely didn’t come from a place of good intentions, but she still maintained a professional tone, introducing CBB’s products to him.

Tang Shouping’s eyes glimmered with malicious intent as he pretended to be troubled. “Miss Ivy, your presentation was excellent. However, to be honest, your company’s intelligent products are overpriced for our current needs. Many of the features are unnecessary, so the cost-performance ratio isn’t quite there.”

Sheng Nuan thought his words were something no procurement manager with a technical background should say, but she patiently replied, “Mr. Tang, in our industry, we have always prioritized performance over so-called cost-effectiveness. After all, a single maintenance-related power outage can be extremely costly. Our products can significantly reduce the chances of such incidents.”

Tang Shouping paused for a moment, then smiled. “Miss Ivy, you’re so young. If you manage to land this deal, your future will be very bright, won’t it?”

Sheng Nuan kept her response formal, “Whether it succeeds or not, it’s all part of the experience. I don’t think too much about it.”

Tang Shouping shook his head, still smiling. “Oh, how could you not think about it? In the professional world, some people just need that bit of wind to soar. Once they seize that opportunity, they will rise rapidly. I, for one… am always willing to give young people opportunities.”

As he spoke, Tang Shouping slowly moved his hand towards the one Sheng Nuan was holding her tablet with.

The polite smile on Sheng Nuan’s face vanished. She calmly withdrew her hand and stared at Tang Shouping coldly.

Tang Shouping raised an eyebrow, undeterred. “It seems that Miss Ivy isn’t very invested in this project…”

Sheng Nuan said nothing, reaching for the wine glass on the table. Without hesitation, she splashed it directly at him.

“Mr. Tang, are you sober now?”

Her movements were bold, immediately drawing the attention of those nearby. Tang Shouping was stunned for a moment before he shot up from his seat, shouting, “Miss Ivy, please have some self-respect!”

“What’s going on? What happened?”

People gathered around, frantically offering Tang Shouping tissues. Tang Yue, returning from the restroom, saw the scene and immediately her expression changed instantly.

Tang Shouping turned to Kou Shaocong, who had just rushed over, and said sternly, “Is this how your company’s sales staff behave?”

Kou Shaocong, still confused, asked, “Mr. Tang, what happened here?”

Tang Shouping snorted, “She used the opportunity of introducing her product to make inappropriate advances. When I rejected her, she became angry and threatened to ruin my reputation, even splashing wine on me to make it seem like I harassed her…”

What a veteran move—he instantly framed the situation to absolve himself while backing Sheng Nuan into a corner.

Tang Yue scolded loudly, “You’re young but already learned to take shortcuts. Where are the security guards? Why haven’t you kicked this person out yet?!”

Kou Shaocong quickly apologized profusely while turning to berate Sheng Nuan. “Apologize to Mr. Tang right now! Apologize immediately!”

It looked like he was siding with Tang Shouping, ready to pin the blame entirely on Sheng Nuan.

Sheng Nuan glanced coldly at Kou Shaocong, then turned to look at Tang Shouping, her voice equally cold. “You don’t need to play the victim here. Just check the surveillance footage, and everything will be clear.”

Tang Shouping’s eyes flickered slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. Meanwhile, Tang Yue spoke up again, “What? Are you going to claim that my father had improper intentions toward you?”

Sheng Nuan sneered, “Is shamelessness part of your family’s legacy?”

Tang Yue was instantly enraged. “What did you say? Say that again!”

Sheng Nuan didn’t bother engaging with the father-daughter duo any further. Instead, she pulled out her phone. “Forget it, there’s no point in talking to people like you. I’ll just call the police.”

Tang Shouping’s expression immediately changed. He turned to Kou Shaocong with a cold smile, “So it turns out you two are here to cause trouble today!”

Kou Shaocong cursed under his breath, unwilling to offend Qingyun Technology, which had the backing of the Qing Group. He quickly walked over to Sheng Nuan and whispered harshly, “What are you doing calling the police? Put the phone down, you…”

Before he could finish, Sheng Nuan shot him a cold glance. “Get lost.”

Kou Shaocong was incredulous. “How dare you speak to me like that! You…”

Just as Sheng Nuan was about to press the call button, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps and several voices approaching.

“President Qing, President Qing…”

Everyone turned at the sound, and there stood a young man, slightly out of breath, radiating an overwhelming aura full of pressure.

Behind him were a group of senior executives from Qingyun Technology.

The general manager of Qingyun Technology quickly stepped forward. “President Qing, you…”

But before he could finish his sentence, Ye Nanxun raised a hand to stop him.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

“President Qing?”

In the entire Qing Group, only one person was addressed as “President Qing”, and that was the young head of the Qing family.

So it was him… and indeed, he was very young.

When had this person quietly arrived here? And what was going on now?

Tang Shouping hurriedly stepped forward and greeted with great respect, “President Qing.”

Tang Yue followed closely behind her father, her eyes gleaming as she looked at the extraordinarily handsome young man radiating an aura of power.

Ye Nanxun paid them no mind. After steadying his breath, he slowly walked forward and stopped in front of Sheng Nuan.

Sheng Nuan recovered from her initial surprise and tentatively said, “Ye Nanxun…”

Ye Nanxun’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, but he didn’t speak.

Feeling a bit awkward, Sheng Nuan wondered if the other person had already forgotten her… Hesitating, she steeled herself to say, “Um, I’m Sheng Nuan. Do you… still remember me?”

Ye Nanxun’s eyelashes trembled slightly. He finally found his voice. “…Remember.”

His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched tightly into fists, though his face betrayed no emotion. In a warm tone, he asked, “What happened?”

Sheng Nuan hesitated briefly between telling him or not, considering they hadn’t seen each other in five years, and their last parting hadn’t been particularly pleasant… But when she met Ye Nanxun’s focused and gentle gaze, she suddenly changed her mind.

She glanced at Tang Shouping. “He made inappropriate advances towards me, then tried to pin the blame on me. You can check the surveillance footage.”

Without hesitation, Ye Nanxun said, “I’ll handle it.”

Tang Shouping’s expression faltered, and he instinctively tried to defend himself, only to meet the cold, piercing gaze of the young tycoon.

Just one glance chilled him to the bone.

“Xu Liang,” Ye Nanxun called out calmly.

Special Assistant Xu Liang nodded respectfully. “Yes, President Qing.”

In the next moment, Special Assistant Xu Liang turned to Tang Shouping. “Mr. Tang, please come with me.”

All the color drained from Tang Shouping’s face, and his legs went weak.

If he had known this woman knew President Qing, he would never have entertained such thoughts… never.

The people around exchanged glances, none daring to speak. Ye Nanxun, meanwhile, looked at Sheng Nuan and spoke softly, “Shall we sit in the office for a while?”

Sheng Nuan, not wanting to reminisce about the past in front of everyone, nodded in agreement.

The discerning general manager of Qingyun Technology quickly read the situation and led the way. “President Qing, this way, please.”
