“What man? I didn’t go look for any man. Wouldn’t that be your uncle? I didn’t look for him, and he didn’t look for me either. He just disappeared into thin air, God knows where he is now. Probably chasing after some chick. But it turned out to be all good, as he is not disturbing me. I can finally have some peace,” Ning Ran said.
“Didn’t you reconcile with my fourth uncle?”
“We’d never reconciled, and the children were just an accident which has nothing to do with our issues,” Ning Ran said.
“But I somehow think that they look more like Third Uncle than Fourth Uncle.”
Ning Ran kicked him. “What kind of nonsense is that? What’s gonna happen if other people hear that?”
Zheng Lunlun immediately avoided her. “Hey, stop it! Why are you still so rough?”
Ning Ran smacked Zheng Lunlun a few times on his head. “This isn’t the first day you’ve known me, and you know very well that I’ve always been rough.”
“Hey, that’s enough! It really hurts ok?” Zheng Lunlun was forced to a corner of the makeup room.
At this very moment, the director walked in to see Ning Ran chasing after Zheng Lunlun to smack him.
The director was completely taken aback. Beauty Zheng was an A-list actor after all, so how could he completely have no airs in front of Ning Ran?
This Ning Ran was really quite a little devil. The moment she emerged out of nowhere, she just kicked the highly popular Luo Fei out of the circuit.
Look at her now, chasing after Zheng Lunlun like that. She really must be quite amazing, judging by the way all the big shots have fallen from the pedestal in front of her.
The director sounded two warning coughs.
Embarrassed, Zheng Lunlun said, “Director, we’re just rehearsing our scene!”
“Yes, we are rehearsing our scene,” echoed Ning Ran.
“Yes, I can see that you are rehearsing your scene. In that case, you can continue for a little while longer? Get yourself a little more acquainted with the lines?”
“No it’s all right, we are almost done. Let’s get back to our makeup now. Director, now that Lunlun is back, you can now arrange for us to speed up our shooting,” said Ning Ran.
“I was just about to discuss this with the both of you. We had planned to finish shooting by the end of the year. However, the days are about to get colder and we still have a lot of scenes to catch up on, so it’s definitely time to speed things up. Otherwise, it will be tougher for everybody if we have to film the summer scenes in the winter.”
Ning Ran and Zheng Lunlun both expressed their understanding and agreed to speed up the shoot.
“All right, it’s all decided then. Let’s get ready!” The director cried out happily.
With Ning Ran’s acting chops and Zheng Lunlun’s popularity, together with Star Entertainment’s marketing resources, Wang Yan had a feeling this series was about to burn up and become the best series of the year.
When the creators are inundated with awards, I’d be regarded as one of the top directors then too!
What a wonderful thought!
……
Nanshi Corporation headquarters.
After his video conference meeting, Nan Chen switched off the large monitor in the conference room and pinched his nose slightly out of exhaustion.
Dabao had sent a bunch of codes to his phone, with a message saying that there were some recorded messages in there for him to listen to when he was free.
Nan Chen had been so busy that he didn’t get to listen to it.
However, he would definitely listen to what Dabao had sent him.
Dabao was not the type to get adults to do silly useless things. Even though he was little, his thoughts and actions were adult-like.
He then went back to his office, switched on his computer and put on his earphones.
The voices were distinctive enough for him to distinguish the relationship between the people, the chronology, and the details of that issue.
After he heard it, Nan Chen immediately gave a call to Qiao Zhan asking him to come to the office.
Qiao Zhan rushed over immediately but had to wait for Nan Chen who was caught up in another meeting.
After more than an hour, Nan Chen finally emerged from the conference room.
“Why didn’t you report that to me?” Nan Chen immediately reprimanded him.
Qiao Zhen was a little confused and asked, “Sir Chen, what are you referring to?”
“Why didn’t you report to me that you had misunderstood Ning Ran?” Nan Chen snarled coldly.
Why is it my responsibility when you were the one who had misunderstood her?
However, Qiao Zhan did not dare voice his thoughts out loud.
“I thought Ms. Ding would tell you everything since the issue has been clarified. I did not dare to get involved.” Qiao Zhan bowed his head.
“Knowing her character, she would never tell me things on her own accord,” Nan Chen muttered through gritted teeth.
To Nan Chen, Ning Ran was just an obstinate woman. To him, her occasional weakness was a mere act, and he hated those kinds of people the most.
“Actually, I have never thought of Ms. Ding to be that kind of person. Not only is she beautiful, but she is also extremely kind. One has to be blind to treat her as a villain…”
Qiao Zhan was a very candid person who rarely thought before he spoke. Now that he had begun to speak, he could barely control his verbal diarrhea. When he realized he was wrong, it was already too late.
“Who’s blind now?”
Nan Chen glared at Qiao Zhan.
“Me. I was blind. Of course, I wasn’t referring to you, Sir Chen,” Qiao Zhan said quickly.
“So which eye of yours is blinded?”
“Oh?” Qiao Zhan was at a loss for words initially, but quickly recovered and said, “Both. Both my eyes are blinded, I can’t see anything at all!”
Nan Chen snorted coldly at him.
“What do we do now?” Nan Chen asked.
“What?”
“Don’t you need to rectify the situation now that you have misunderstood her?”
My God, you were the one who misunderstood her, what has it got to do with me?
What can I do as a subordinate? Are you going to dock one month’s pay off me?
“Yes, I’d need to do so, but I am not sure what I can do.” Qiao Zhan had no choice but to say this.
“Think.”
With that one word, Nan Chen turned back to his work.
Work was really piling up for him, and he barely had a few minutes to himself before he had to start on the next task.
Qiao Zhan was left standing there.
Master Chen clearly wanted Qiao Zhan to think of a way to remedy this issue before he could leave.
When it came to fighting, Qiao Zhan was the expert who could beat up ten men on his own; he had the ability to organize large fights as well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the leader of the Nan family’s security team.
However, problem-solving was definitely not his strong suit. In fact, women were probably Qiao Zhan’s weakest point.
If Qiao Zhan could handle women, he wouldn’t have been still single in his thirties.
Clearly, this was a task that was completely unsuitable for him, and he found himself in a very difficult situation.
He knew it was an impossible mission, but yet he did not dare voice that out loud.
On the other hand, Nan Chen was so caught up by the work that he seemed to have forgotten about the people around him.
Like a statue, Qiao Zhan was there for half an hour with no idea popping into his mind at all.
At this moment, Jiang Zhe came in with a document for Nan Chen to sign.
“Oh, Captain Qiao is here again? What’s going on?” Jiang Zhe said while sizing him up.
“Oh yes, Sir Chen, you should get him to think about it too. He is so chirpy and talkative, I am sure he will have his ways.”
The sight of Jiang Zhe was like a lifebuoy to Qiao Zhan.
“What do you mean?” Jiang Zhe was completely confused.
Of course, Nan Chen was not about to explain everything. Hence, Jiang Zhe continued to ask Qiao Zhan, “Captain Qiao, what is it that you wanted me to think about?”
“We have misunderstood Ms. Ding a while ago. Now, Master Chen wants me to come up with an idea to rectify the situation and I am completely stuck. Assistant Jiang, you have always been the fastest when it comes to ideas, so it’d be great if you could help me think of a solution as well.”
With Jiang Zhe’s intelligence, he immediately guessed what was going on.
Clearly, Master Chen had misunderstood Ning Ran for some reason, and now he wants to make things right. However, because of his overpowering ego, he is getting Qiao Zhan to come up with a plan instead.
However, Qiao Zhan is all brawn and no brains. What idea can he come up with?
Jiang Zhe laughed to himself. Captain Qiao, aren’t you supposed to be very capable? I bet you can’t even think of a single idea now!
