Celebrity Girl Is My Wife

Chapter 824

Later on, Ning Ran received a call from Wang Xiaoou, telling her that she needed to take a trip to the office for some matters.

When Ning Ran reached Star Entertainment, Wang Xiaoou gave her a document. “I wanted to send you the digital copy so that you don't need to come here, but I realized that we'll need to discuss some details, so I asked you to come instead.”

Ning Ran gave her a small smile as she nodded. “Of course. You're too courteous, Ou. This is just my job.”

“Let me give you a brief explanation. This is a reality TV, and its name is Dashing Stars. I'm sure you can hear from its name that this is a challenging reality TV. The participating celebrities will be split into two teams. Each production team will be considered a team, and they will be competing against each other,” Wang Xiaoou introduced.

Ning Ran nodded. “So our production team's main cast will be joining this?”

“Yes, but only the three main stars: you and Huang Zichao. There's one more spot left, and the program production team is hoping that you'll bring along your darling daughter because she's in the film too...”

“Sorry, but that won't do. I won't let my daughter join reality TV. She's too young,” Ning Ran swiftly rejected.

Wang Xiaoou smiled. “We know you won't agree to it, let alone Mr. Chen, so our staff has rejected them for you. Tang Jing is in it instead, so the three of you are now up against the other cast members, who are the representatives of another film, Gray Town. Their main cast members are big shots as well. One of them is a member of the rising band, The Riot Boys—Shi Jie. There's someone else you know

too. It's Ye Meng, but she's no longer one of the top stars, so she's only playing a side character. There's also a new actor, but I don't remember their name.”

Ye Meng? The actress who used to be at the top of the pyramid?

Ning Ran had Nan Chen backing her when she filmed her first advertisement for an international brand —Channing.

Ye Meng used to be the brand ambassador for Channing, but Ning Ran ended up taking her place. Ever since then, Ye Meng had been doing everything she could to target Ning Ran.

In the end, Ning Ran still won Ye Meng with Nan Chen's support, and she even forced Ye Meng to the bottom of the pyramid.

The world was truly small. Ning Ran never thought she would meet Ye Meng again.

Wang Xiaoou noticed Ning Ran's worry. Sure enough, she knew about the conflict between Ning Ran and Ye Meng back then.

“Don't worry. Ye Meng's no longer the top star she used to be, so she won't pose much threat to you. I remember that the grudge between you and Ye Meng has been resolved, right? She even helped you out in getting the Best Newcomer Award,” Wang Xiaoou pointed out with a chuckle.

“I'm not worried about it. I just think it might end up a little awkward. She's been in showbiz longer than I have, after all.”

“It'll be fine. We're all here to promote our films, right? Everyone's only working. This is strictly business, and the competition is only for the audience. Don't take it to heart. The filming will last three days, so prepare yourself for it. We'll be having a meeting tomorrow afternoon.”

Ning Ran was a little taken aback by how fast it was.

Shouldn't a program like this be pre-arranged? The filming is starting tomorrow even though I've only received news about it today.

“Mr. Chen pulled some strings to swap the production team, so things are a little hasty. Still, it's nothing complicated. I'm sure you'll be able to pull through it.”

Despite Wang Xiaoou's words, Ning Ran still felt somewhat pressured.

“If there aren't any other problems, we'll start preparing now. Don't worry about the arrangements. Cheng Xiangyun and I will be dealing with that. You don't need to think about anything. Just rest and ready yourself for the exercise.”

“All right, then. Thank you, Ou.”

After leaving the office, Ning Ran went to pick up the two children.

Only when most of the children had left did she see Dabao holding Erbao's hand and ambling their way out of school.

Happiness washed over Ning Ran when she saw the two children.

After getting out of the car, Ning Ran walked toward them.

Both Erbao and Dabao did not expect their mother to pick them up herself. Upon spotting her, they dashed toward her.

“Mommy, why were you free to pick us up today?”

“I'm not working today, so here I am. What did you do in school today?”

“We learned to dance, sing, and recite old poems!” Erbao reported.

“That's a lot of lessons! It must be tough for you. Come on, let me carry you.” Ning Ran hunched over to lift Erbao into her arms.

“It's not tough! You're the one who has it tough, Mommy! You need to work and take care of us. Now that's tough,” Erbao muttered as she leaned her cheek against Ning Ran's.

“You're saying sweeter and sweeter things with each passing day. What a good girl.”

“Mommy, let's go and find Daddy! Let's find out what Daddy's doing,” Erbao said with a giggle.

Ning Ran pinched her cheek and uttered, “What can your daddy possibly be doing right now? He's surely at work, so let's not disturb him.”

“Come on! It's been such a long time since we've been to Daddy's office. Why don't we go there and wait for him to finish work?” Erbao pestered.

In the end, Ning Ran agreed to Erbao's request when she recalled she would be going to work the next day and could not accompany her children again.

When they reached the headquarters of Nanshi Corporation, Nan Chen was working in his office and giving instructions to Jiang Zhe.

Erbao was quite obedient. She was not mischievous, but she started wandering to other offices to play with the staff.

That was why the girl liked going to the office. It was a lively place, and the people there liked her.

Erbao had learned her lesson and did not take the staff's snacks this time. After a while of playing with them, she obediently went back to Nan Chen's office.

However, Nan Chen was still busy as he worked and answered calls.

Ning Ran was studying her script, and Dabao was reading a book.

Feeling bored, Erbao went out again.

When working hours were over, one of the staff suggested taking Erbao out for food. Erbao was tempted, but she rejected them, for she knew her parents would not agree to it.

The staff decided to stay in the office to play with Erbao until Ning Ran came over to get her.

“Sorry for the trouble, everyone. Please head home to rest,” Ning Ran said with an apologetic smile.

“It's fine, Ma'am. Your darling's pretty and cute. You and Mr. Chen have amazing genes to have a sweetheart as pretty as her.” © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Ning Ran felt strange to hear someone call her “ma'am,” but she still gave the other person a smile.

Erbao stood by the elevators and waved to the others like a little princess. She was adorable.

By the time they went back to Nan Chen's office, he was finally close to wrapping up his work.

Glancing at his watch, he said, “Give me another half an hour. I need to deal with some documents before we head out for dinner.”

“Are we disturbing you?” Ning Ran asked apologetically.

“No, it's fine. Just wait for me a little while,” Nan Chen replied.

Right then, the phone on Nan Chen's desk rang, and he picked it up. He spoke in English, and Ning Ran heard the name, Zhiyi, again.
