My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 701 He Did Not Like The Woman

Ning Ran did not, however, immediately reject Wang Xiaoou. She merely said that they should discuss the matter

another time.

“This issue is resolved for the time being. Take another day off tomorrow, and then you can resume filming. Right,

there’s one more thing. Huang Zichao’s talent agents came to speak with us, asking if you would go on an

entertainment talk show with him. We agreed, and they should get in touch with Cheng Xiangyun within the next

two days,” Wang Xiaoou informed.

“Huang Zichao wants to appear on an entertainment talk show? And he wants to bring me along? What’s going on

here?”

“He was invited as a guest and could bring a friend. He said he would bring you along. His talent agents discussed

with us that since you two are filming a movie together and the show will be recorded in Livingsfill, which is also

close to you, having you two appear on the show together will help promote the movie. It’s a win-win situation. The

production team will also give a corresponding appearance fee. This is work, not a personal matter,” Wang Xiaoou

said.

“Does he know about this?” Ning Ran asked.

Wang Xiaoou smiled. “Are you referring to Mr. Chen?”

“Yes,” Ning Ran responded awkwardly.

“Oh, don’t worry. Mr. Chen knows about this. All your contracts need to be approved by him,” Wang Xiaoou said.

Ning Ran was quite surprised by this. Poker Face has always been against me getting close to Huang Zichao. I can’t

believe he agreed this time. What made him do that?

“Are you listening?” Wang Xiaoou asked.

“Yeah, I’m listening. I’ll certainly comply with the company’s arrangement,” Ning Ran quickly responded.

“Great. Thank you and all the best.”

“Thank you, Ou.”

Ning Ran hung up the phone. She still found it odd after thinking about it.

What on earth was Poker Face thinking to agree to let me appear on a show with Huang Zichao? Qiao Zhan called

Huang Zichao to warn him to stay away from me just a few days ago. But now he suddenly agreed to let me

appear on a show with Huang Zichao? What’s going on here?

Feeling uneasy, she dialed Nan Chen’s number.

The call was quickly answered, but the voice that came through was Qiao Zhan’s. “Ms. Ning, I’m Qiao Zhan. Mr.

Chen is having a video conference with the overseas team. Please wait a moment while I inform him.”

“No need for that. I just wanted to ask if it’s true that I’ll be appearing on a show with Huang Zichao?” Ning Ran

asked straightforwardly.

“Yes. Mr. Chen is aware of this,” Qiao Zhan answered.

“But Huang Zichao texted me two days ago saying that you went to see him. Is that also true?”

“It is.”

Qiao Zhan did not deny it. After all, he was instructed to do so by his boss, so he was not afraid to take the blame.

“Why?”

“Are you asking why I went to see Huang Zichao?”

“Yes.”

“Because Mr. Chen thinks he placed you in jeopardy, so he warned him to keep his distance from you,” Qiao Zhan

answered truthfully.

“So why did he agree to let me appear on a show with Huang Zichao now?”

Qiao Zhan replied seriously, “It’s work. Mr. Chen agreed because he believes that it’ll help promote your latest

movie.”

Ning Ran scoffed, “You’re telling me he can distinguish between public and private affairs?”

“Mr. Chen has always been like that.”

As expected of Nan Chen’s special assistant. Every word Qiao Zhan utters is in support of his boss.

“All right, if you say so.”

“You give me too much credit, Ms. Ning. It should be if Mr. Chen says so. I don’t matter,” Qiao Zhan said cautiously.

Mr. Chen was the one who made the decision. I have no say in it, so you can’t blame me if you have a problem with

it!

“Fine. As long as he’s happy. That’s all. I just wanted to confirm this matter.”

“Should I get Mr. Chen to call you back later?”

“No need for that.”

“All right. Is there anything else I can do for you?”

“No. Goodbye.” With that, Ning Ran ended the call.

Meanwhile, in a business clubhouse in Livingsfill, Huang Zichao met a woman who was unfamiliar to him.

She was dressed extravagantly, covered in branded apparel and jewels.

Although she also had exquisite features, her contours appeared stiff and unnatural.

Having been in the entertainment industry for a long time, Huang Zichao had seen all kinds of beautiful women. He

could immediately tell that she had enhanced her appearance through major plastic surgeries, which made her

beauty completely unnatural.

However, he was not surprised. In the past, only in the neighboring country do you find women favoring plastic

surgery. But things are different now as it’s also very common here. Many girls go bankrupt to enhance their looks

just to become influencers and celebrities. Not only that, but some celebrities who have already become famous

also underwent plastic surgery to broaden their acting careers and enhance their looks. Some successfully became

more beautiful, while others were disfigured beyond recognition. In this mystically utilitarian world, nothing is

surprising.

“So, you’re Huang Zichao?”

The woman was quite arrogant, which irritated Huang Zichao.

I am, at any rate, an award-winning actor. She should have the basic courtesy to address me politely, considering

it’s our first meeting.

“Yes, I am. Wasn’t it the producer who asked to meet me? You are?”

He made that query because he did not believe that the person before him was a producer.

Producers need not undergo plastic surgery, especially major ones like this.

“I’m here on his behalf. My name is Ding Fei,” the woman said.

“Nice to meet you.” Huang Zichao forced out a response.

“May I ask when you will be able to join our production team?” Ding Fei inquired.

“Which production team?”

“The one for the new movie. Haven’t your agency informed you?” Ding Fei asked.

“They did, but I’m still filming the movie I’m currently working on. There’s a conflict in the schedule, and if it can’t

be coordinated, I can only give it up.”

“We can pay you more.”

“What do you mean?”

“As long as you take half of your time to shoot our movie, we’ll increase the pay by a quarter,” Ding Fei offered.

“Who are you exactly? You can increase the pay as you wish?” Huang Zichao could not help but express his doubt.

“You need not care about who I am. If I say so, it will be done.”

“Even if you increase the pay, I can’t break my contract. I’ll finish filming it before considering other things.”

“You can schedule both sides. Do two weeks on our side, and then shoot there for a few days to manage it,” Ding

Fei proposed.

“That won’t work. The contract clearly states that I can’t do that. I do have other schedules during this period, but I

can only leave the set when I’m not filming.”

“You’re truly hardheaded. You’re reluctant to part with Ning Ran, aren’t you?” Ding Fei shot him a look of disgust.

Huang Zichao was displeased. “Please show some respect for me and Ms. Ning.”

“What’s so great about her that I have to respect her? Are you on board with this or not?”

“I’ve already made it very clear that my answer is no.”

Huang Zichao’s response was equally firm. He truly did not like the woman.
