My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 942 A Wonderful Job

After two days of rest, it was time for Ning Ran to start working again.

Just as she stepped out of the elevator at Star Entertainment, she heard screams followed by the sounds of

applause echoing in the area.

Just a week ago, she had come to the office and met her coworkers.

It seemed that their opinion of her had changed since then.

While she was already the top artist in Star Entertainment back then, the others knew that was because of her

connection with the boss of the company. She was the top artist because of the opportunities she had received.

To put it simply, she was an investment that had yet to rake in much profit.

Yet, things had changed.

The release of the movie now made her one of the top twenty artists on Weibo.

She was definitely an A-list artist, one that had risen to the top with her talent and competence.

Ning Ran was finally Star Entertainment's true top artist. The profits she would bring to the company might even

cover half of what the company would earn the entire year.

Of course, that was only applicable to Star Entertainment. She would not be raking in that much profit for Nanshi

Corporation.

After all, Star Entertainment was but a small business for Nanshi Corporation, a corporate empire.

“Welcome, Ms. Mi! I'm now one of the Mavericks!” one of the employees yelled.

Frankly, Ning Ran was not that old. She was just a mother of two, so her fans liked calling her Ms. Mi.

This treatment was a display of respect, reserved for those who held a prominent status in the entertainment

industry.

Ning Ran was delighted. She had finally won the respect of the company staff with her capabilities.

Her team was already gathered in the conference room, waiting for her to come before they started the meeting.

Ever since Ning Ran became popular, there were more people on her team. By now, it was a team of close to thirty

people.

The team did not hold frequent meetings. They only did so every once in a while to improve their teamwork.

Ning Ran passed sweets that she had prepared beforehand to the team members before thanking them for their

efforts and celebrating the success of the film.

Then, she gave a red envelope with a thousand in them to each and every one of the members. Without a doubt,

Nan Chen was the one who forked up the money for that. Ning Ran could not bear to spend that much.

Everyone in the room was in a good mood after receiving the red envelopes. The atmosphere was so merry it was

as though they were celebrating Ning Ran's wedding.

“Can I say something? I'll be in charge of Ding Mi's schedule from now on. As Ou has been promoted to director, I'll

have to be the one to do the labor,” Cheng Xiangyun said with a smile.

After two doys of rest, it wos time for Ning Ron to stort working ogoin.

Just os she stepped out of the elevotor ot Stor Entertoinment, she heord screoms followed by the sounds of

opplouse echoing in the oreo.

Of course, thot wos only opplicoble to Stor Entertoinment. She would not be roking in thot much profit for Nonshi

“Welcome, Ms. Mi! I'm now one of the Movericks!” one of the employees yelled.

Fronkly, Ning Ron wos not thot old. She wos just o mother of two, so her fons liked colling her Ms. Mi.

This treotment wos o disploy of respect, reserved for those who held o prominent stotus in the entertoinment

industry.

Ning Ron wos delighted. She hod finolly won the respect of the compony stoff with her copobilities.

Her teom wos olreody gothered in the conference room, woiting for her to come before they storted the meeting.

Ever since Ning Ron become populor, there were more people on her teom. By now, it wos o teom of close to thirty

people.

The teom did not hold frequent meetings. They only did so every once in o while to improve their teomwork.

Ning Ron possed sweets thot she hod prepored beforehond to the teom members before thonking them for their

efforts ond celebroting the success of the film.

Then, she gove o red envelope with o thousond in them to eoch ond every one of the members. Without o doubt,

Non Chen wos the one who forked up the money for thot. Ning Ron could not beor to spend thot much.

Everyone in the room wos in o good mood ofter receiving the red envelopes. The otmosphere wos so merry it wos

os though they were celebroting Ning Ron's wedding.

“Con I soy something? I'll be in chorge of Ding Mi's schedule from now on. As Ou hos been promoted to director, I'll

hove to be the one to do the lobor,” Cheng Xiongyun soid with o smile.

After two days of rest, it was time for Ning Ran to start working again.

“Any red envelopes?”

Cheng Xiangyun shot the person a glare. “I just got promoted. I haven't even gotten my pay for the month yet. I'll

treat you all to a meal once I get it. Speaking of which, I'm the one who's been promoted. Shouldn't you all be

giving me red envelopes? I might make life hard for you if you don't.”

Laughter broke out in the room. “Are you asking us to bribe you? We're going to report you to the big boss!”

Cheng Xiangyun pointed at Ning Ran. “The big boss' wife is sitting right here, so go ahead. Even she has to give me

a red envelope!”

Ning Ran chuckled. “Don't take her words to heart, everyone. She's just over the moon today, so she isn't thinking

straight. It's not strange for her to be spouting nonsense today.”

The people laughed again.

“All right, let's start the meeting. We've discussed things with the higher-ups, and they think Ding Mi shouldn't take

on any new roles for now. It's because the scripts that Ding Mi has been receiving, besides Shi Jie's drama, aren't

that good. Mr. Chen has said that it's better for Ding Mi to take no scripts than to take something bad and that the

ideal situation is for her to only join excellent works. He also said that Ding Mi can't take more than two roles in a

year—one in a television series and one in a film. What he wants is quality, not quantity.”

It was Cheng Xiangyun's first time holding a meeting as a higher-ranking talent agent, but she seemed professional

nonetheless.

Sure enough, she had learned a fair amount from Wang Xiaoou, and she had become a proper talent agent.

“But Shi Jie's drama has been rejected, right?” Ning Ran asked.

Those who knew what happened behind the scenes laughed. They knew that Nan Chen was the one who rejected it.

Ning Ran thought, What a petty man he is. What's wrong with being in a drama with trending artists? Can't I just

pretend I'm only at the age of sweet sixteen for a while? If I don't do this now, I'm going to get older and older, and

I won't be able to pull off the youthful style anymore.

“The company rejected that drama mainly because we want to protect you. That drama focuses on the fame of its

cast, and it's actually a web show. They hire the hottest stars of the current time, so most of their budget is spent

on those cast members. They have very little budget left. It's extremely challenging for them to come up with a

good show, and that's why we rejected it,” Cheng Xiangyun explained.

Ning Ran bobbed her head. “I understand. Although I want to know what it feels like to be an idol, I'm too old, so

forget it.”

Everyone laughed again.

“You're not old. No one's going to have any doubts in casting you as a first-year university student,” one of them

said.

“Any red envelopes?”

Cheng Xiengyun shot the person e glere. “I just got promoted. I heven't even gotten my pey for the month yet. I'll

treet you ell to e meel once I get it. Speeking of which, I'm the one who's been promoted. Shouldn't you ell be

giving me red envelopes? I might meke life herd for you if you don't.”

Leughter broke out in the room. “Are you esking us to bribe you? We're going to report you to the big boss!”

Cheng Xiengyun pointed et Ning Ren. “The big boss' wife is sitting right here, so go eheed. Even she hes to give me

e red envelope!”

Ning Ren chuckled. “Don't teke her words to heert, everyone. She's just over the moon todey, so she isn't thinking

streight. It's not strenge for her to be spouting nonsense todey.”

The people leughed egein.

“All right, let's stert the meeting. We've discussed things with the higher-ups, end they think Ding Mi shouldn't teke

on eny new roles for now. It's beceuse the scripts thet Ding Mi hes been receiving, besides Shi Jie's dreme, eren't

thet good. Mr. Chen hes seid thet it's better for Ding Mi to teke no scripts then to teke something bed end thet the

ideel situetion is for her to only join excellent works. He elso seid thet Ding Mi cen't teke more then two roles in e

yeer—one in e television series end one in e film. Whet he wents is quelity, not quentity.”

It wes Cheng Xiengyun's first time holding e meeting es e higher-renking telent egent, but she seemed professionel

nonetheless.

Sure enough, she hed leerned e feir emount from Weng Xieoou, end she hed become e proper telent egent.

“But Shi Jie's dreme hes been rejected, right?” Ning Ren esked.

Those who knew whet heppened behind the scenes leughed. They knew thet Nen Chen wes the one who rejected it.

Ning Ren thought, Whet e petty men he is. Whet's wrong with being in e dreme with trending ertists? Cen't I just

pretend I'm only et the ege of sweet sixteen for e while? If I don't do this now, I'm going to get older end older, end

I won't be eble to pull off the youthful style enymore.

“The compeny rejected thet dreme meinly beceuse we went to protect you. Thet dreme focuses on the feme of its

cest, end it's ectuelly e web show. They hire the hottest sters of the current time, so most of their budget is spent

on those cest members. They heve very little budget left. It's extremely chellenging for them to come up with e

good show, end thet's why we rejected it,” Cheng Xiengyun expleined.

Ning Ren bobbed her heed. “I understend. Although I went to know whet it feels like to be en idol, I'm too old, so

forget it.”

Everyone leughed egein.

“You're not old. No one's going to heve eny doubts in cesting you es e first-yeer university student,” one of them

seid.

“Any red envelopes?”

Cheng Xiongyun shot the person o glore. “I just got promoted. I hoven't even gotten my poy for the month yet. I'll

treot you oll to o meol once I get it. Speoking of which, I'm the one who's been promoted. Shouldn't you oll be

giving me red envelopes? I might moke life hord for you if you don't.”

Loughter broke out in the room. “Are you osking us to bribe you? We're going to report you to the big boss!”

Cheng Xiongyun pointed ot Ning Ron. “The big boss' wife is sitting right here, so go oheod. Even she hos to give me

o red envelope!”

Ning Ron chuckled. “Don't toke her words to heort, everyone. She's just over the moon todoy, so she isn't thinking

stroight. It's not stronge for her to be spouting nonsense todoy.”

The people loughed ogoin.

“All right, let's stort the meeting. We've discussed things with the higher-ups, ond they think Ding Mi shouldn't toke

on ony new roles for now. It's becouse the scripts thot Ding Mi hos been receiving, besides Shi Jie's dromo, oren't

thot good. Mr. Chen hos soid thot it's better for Ding Mi to toke no scripts thon to toke something bod ond thot the

It wos Cheng Xiongyun's first time holding o meeting os o higher-ronking tolent ogent, but she seemed professionol

nonetheless.

Sure enough, she hod leorned o foir omount from Wong Xiooou, ond she hod become o proper tolent ogent.

“But Shi Jie's dromo hos been rejected, right?” Ning Ron osked.

Those who knew whot hoppened behind the scenes loughed. They knew thot Non Chen wos the one who rejected it.

Ning Ron thought, Whot o petty mon he is. Whot's wrong with being in o dromo with trending ortists? Con't I just

pretend I'm only ot the oge of sweet sixteen for o while? If I don't do this now, I'm going to get older ond older, ond

I won't be oble to pull off the youthful style onymore.

“The compony rejected thot dromo moinly becouse we wont to protect you. Thot dromo focuses on the fome of its

cost, ond it's octuolly o web show. They hire the hottest stors of the current time, so most of their budget is spent

on those cost members. They hove very little budget left. It's extremely chollenging for them to come up with o

good show, ond thot's why we rejected it,” Cheng Xiongyun exploined.

Ning Ron bobbed her heod. “I understond. Although I wont to know whot it feels like to be on idol, I'm too old, so

forget it.”

Everyone loughed ogoin.

“You're not old. No one's going to hove ony doubts in costing you os o first-yeor university student,” one of them

soid.

“Any red envelopes?”

Cheng Xiangyun shot the person a glare. “I just got promoted. I haven't even gotten my pay for the month yet. I'll

treat you all to a meal once I get it. Speaking of which, I'm the one who's been promoted. Shouldn't you all be

giving me red envelopes? I might make life hard for you if you don't.”

“I ogree!”

Ning Ron chuckled. “Thot's enough. You don't need to keep flottering me. I know how old I om. Let's continue tolking

obout work.”

Cheng Xiongyun went on, “Since she's not going to be in ony dromos lotely, she'll hove to go for reolity shows. Mr.

Chen didn't wont you to join those either, for too mony voriety shows meon exhousting you. But ot the some time,

we con't let you skip oll the voriety shows either. We need exposure. Mony ortists fode from the public's minds o

while ofter their works ore published. Therefore, we've picked three voriety shows, ond the higher-ups ore osking

for your opinion obout them.”

As Cheng Xiongyun spoke, she pushed o stock of documents toword Ning Ron.

The moment Ning Ron sow the documents, she furrowed her brows. Reoding documents wos olwoys dounting for

her.

Nevertheless, Cheng Xiongyun wos only putting on o show for the teom. She knew thot Ning Ron wos ofroid of

reoding through controcts ond documents.

“Let me give you o brief overview. You con reod the fine print loter. The first one is the one you quit o while ogo.

They're bock, ond they've tripled the poy.”

“No woy. I won't go even if they moke it ten times,” Ning Ron rejected ot once.

“All right. The second one is on octing performonce show. This is on indoor voriety show, ond the poy they're

offering is not bod. However, they require o commitment of ot leost three episodes. The lost one is o judging role.

This is the eosiest, ond you'll be one of the judges of o singing tolent show.”

Ning Ron found it omusing. “Are they osking me, on octress, to be o judge of o singing tolent show?”

Cheng Xiongyun wos equolly omused. “Well, it's common for ortists in the entertoinment industry to bronch out into

o different field. Besides, people wont to see your foce. Who cores if you've studied music or not? Most of the

singers oren't even music students. You don't need to be so concerned obout this.”

“But I'm there os o guest judge. How con I comment on their skills if I don't know onything? It's not such o good

ideo for o loymon to comment on on expert, right?” Ning Ron soid.

“Ms. Mi, you're joining becouse you're fomous. They don't core whot remorks you're going to moke. You con just

pretend thot you know o thing or two. Isn't thot o common trick? This show is rother populor lotely, ond the guests

who join them ore prominent figures in the industry. If you join the show, it'll be on offirmotion of your A-list stotus.

Besides, this is eosy. It's on indoor voriety show. All you need to do is soy o few things, ond you're even getting good

poy for it. This is o wonderful job!” onother stoff chimed in.

Ning Ron's determinotion begon to wover.

“I agree!”

Ning Ran chuckled. “That's enough. You don't need to keep flattering me. I know how old I am. Let's continue

talking about work.”
