My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 771

Two days later, in a hotel in Livingsfill, a skinny man with a pale face was leaning on a couch, covering his mouth

with a handkerchief as he coughed every once in a while.

Ding Fei quickly passed him a piece of tissue. “Are you okay? Let me get you a glass of water.”

With that, she filled a glass with warm water and brought it to Ruan Anxi.

However, Ruan Anxi took the glass only to pour its contents over Ding Fei's head.

Ding Fei did not dare to move at all as she allowed the water to trickle down her cheeks and neck.

“You said you wanted to shoot a film, so I let you do that, but now, you're telling me that the filming won't continue.

What happens to the money I've invested into the film, then?” Ruan Anxi gloomily asked.

His tone was even, and his voice was high-pitched. Even though he was not shouting, his words were ear-piercing

and brought discomfort to those who heard him.

“I'm sorry, Doctor. The actors suddenly decided to quit. I went to the director, but the director told me that he was

going to quit his role too. Even the technicians and the other members of the production team quit.”

“Tell me why all of them suddenly quit their roles and were willing to pay the compensation! Tell me!” Ruan Anxi

questioned.

The film was not important to Ruan Anxi, of course, but this was his first money-laundering project in Flower City.

The project's failure would cause him huge distress, and he was starting to doubt Ding Fei's capability in laundering

his money.

“I think Nan Chen pulled some strings and pressured the actors into quitting. As for the director, I'm sure he

decided to quit because those actors were leaving.”

Ruan Anxi then brushed his slender fingers across Ding Fei's stiff face. “So you mean to tell me that you're not to

blame for all these—that these are all because of Nan Chen? Then, let me ask you a question. Why is Nan Chen

doing this? Is it because he found out about your motives? Or is it that he has found out who you really are?”

Ding Fei quickly denied it. “That's impossible. He definitely hasn't found out who I am. No way. My looks have

changed. He'll never recognize me.”

“Then why is he stopping your film production? Is there no reason behind his actions at all?” Ruan Anxi asked.

Ding Fei fell silent at that.

“You're hiding something from me. If you don't tell me about it, tonight's dinner shall be your organs.” At that point,

a scalpel appeared in Ruan Anxi's hand.

Frightened out of her wits, Ding Fei went to her knees and pleaded, “Please don't! Please!”

“Then tell me the truth!”

“It could be because... he knows about my arrangement...”

“What arrangements?” Ruan Anxi questioned.

“Ning Ran has been filming a movie too. I'm planning to screen our film before hers so that hers will flop... Also, I've

been using their script with only some of the details changed. As long as we screen first, their movie is bound to

fail.”

“Is this one of your plans for revenge?”

“Yes,” Ding Fei quietly answered.

“For the sake of making Ning Ran's film flop, you've decided to sacrifice my profits?” Ruan Anxi continued in an

even colder tone.

“I'm sorry. I didn't plan to do this...”

“How did Nan Chen find out about your plan if that's the case? Which part of your plan failed?”

“I've only talked to Ouyang Li about this before. I'm guessing that she's the one who revealed it.”

“Make reparations right now. Find those actors and actresses who quit and beg them to come back to finish the

film. If this project bites the dust, I'll be holding you accountable for it.”

“Of course, Doctor. I'll work on it right away.”

At noon the next day, Ding Fei went to Ouyang Li's Lily Club.

Ouyang Li was an investor, so it went without saying that she already knew what happened to the production team.

Like Ding Fei, she never thought that Nan Chen would be able to make everyone quit in such a short period of time.

After a few interactions, Ouyang Li realized she had severely underestimated Nanshi Corporation's influential

power.

“I have a question for you. Were you the one who revealed my plan to someone else? Is that why Nan Chen

suddenly took action and made the production team quit?” Ding Fei grilled as she jabbed a finger at Ouyang Li's

nose.

That rude gesture from Ding Fei was what Ouyang Li hated most.

There were quite a few times when Ouyang Li was tempted to break Ding Fei's finger in response, but alas, she still

needed Ding Fei's help, so she could only suppress her fury in silence.

“No. We're allies. The Nan family killed my father. Why would I reveal your secret to him?” Ouyang Li replied.

“Then why did Nan Chen suddenly target the film production?”

“I really have no idea. Maybe your few attempts to kill Ning Ran alarmed him. You better think of a way to get those

production team members back. This film can't go to waste like this!”

Since Ruan Anxi was putting pressure on her, Ding Fei could only choose to shift the pressure onto Ouyang Li.

“Me?”

“You don't need to do this in person—you can get your subordinates to do it, but I expect you to accomplish this

task.”

Naturally, Ouyang Li was indignant. She thought such a menial task shouldn't be her responsibility.

After Ouyang Qing had accused her, Ouyang Li quickly requested sick leave before the board of directors fired her.

At the same time, she asked Ouyang Qi to take over her role in managing the company.

Nan Chen's assistant, Jiang Zhe, had told her that the Nan family would help her prove that she had nothing to do

with Ouyang Qing's case as long as she cooperated with the Nan family.

However, the police were already on the case, and it would take some time. They were not going to announce that

Ouyang Li had nothing to do with Ouyang Qing's case in such a short time.

Now that Ouyang Li was in distress over her own troubles, how could she possibly be in the mood to persuade those

production team members to return to their roles?

“I'm not familiar with the entertainment circle. I highly doubt they'll agree to come back if I'm the one who

approaches them. I'm afraid we'll have to think of a different way to solve this,” Ouyang Li told her.

“I don't care what ways you use as long as you're the one to do this.”

“I don't think I can resolve this. Why don't we put pressure on the director and make him persuade the actors to

come back instead?” Ouyang Li suggested.

“Then you go and look for the director. Didn't I just say that I don't care what you do as long as the film production

continues?” Ding Fei gritted out, laying all the responsibility on Ouyang Li's shoulders.

“All right. I guess I'll have to give it a go,” Ouyang Li answered in resignation.

At present, there was nothing she could do other than accept the task first. Moreover, while she was speaking to

Ding Fei, a name crossed her mind—Tang Jing.

Ouyang Li was unfamiliar with the entertainment industry, but Tang Jing was in that industry. Maybe Tang Jing will be

able to get this done if I leave this to her.

In the meantime, Tang Jing was in Flower City, drinking champagne.

She was reading the news she saw on the internet over and over again: The Ever-Changing Management of

Sunshine Corporation. Ouyang Qi Temporarily Takes Over as the CEO While Ouyang Li Is on Sick Leave.

Her plan had actually made Ouyang Qi the CEO. Even though his title was temporary, they were now much closer

to obtaining true power in the company.

Tang Jing was certain that she would be getting the sweet taste of victory soon.

Right then, her phone rang. It was a call from Ouyang Li, asking to meet her at Lily Club.

Tang Jing disliked having the club named Lily Club. If she were to take over the club, she would change it to Jillion

Club, for that sounded far more powerful and elegant.
