Chapter 15
“Let go of me! I must say it! The reason why it's so difficult to produce great shows these days is because these outsiders are leading us insiders! He controls everything with his money and decides an actor's fate based on his own personal preferences! He's just an ignorant capitalist!” Ning Ran got more and more furious as she spoke. Poker Face's anger boiled as he listened.
Where did this woman get her courage from, questioning his professionalism like that in front of everyone? Did she get it from Fish Leong? (Fish Leong is a Malaysian singer. Her second studio album was titled Courage.)
Nan Chen's lips twitched, but said nothing.
He was a man of few words, and had not spoken at all since he got here.
He rarely spoke to anyone at all.
To him, the wise do not blabber. Those who talk a lot were all mundane people.
Nan Chen arched his eyebrows and motioned for the bodyguard to take the woman away.
“You outsider!” “You're bullying others with your power!” Ning Ran shouted in defiance.
“Mr. Chen, give her a chance.” Luo Fei suddenly came and begged him.
Nan Chen looked at Luo Fei, and shot her a questioning look.
“She's said before, that she must get the role no matter what. If she doesn't get it, she would get her keyboard warriors to attack me online.”
“She would even say that I only got my role through your favoritism and biasness.”
“If she was that arrogant in front of everyone, she'd surely do a lot worse behind the scenes.”
"She won't rest until she gets the role, Mr. Chen. Let's just give it to her.”
Of course, Luo Fei said these to fuel Nan Chen's rage.
Luo Fei was well aware of Nan Chen's admiration towards Ning Ran.
Had she not ordered the assistant director to say those words to Nan Chen, Ning Ran would've gotten the role for sure.
Nan Chen did not lose his temper despite being scolded by Ning Ran like that.
That worried Luo Fei. What if Nan Chen really gave Ning Ran the role?
So, Luo Fei wanted to completely anger Nan Chen. If he got mad, not only would Ning Ran not get the role, but her future in the entertainment industry would be finished as well.
She wanted to get rid of Ning Ran completely through Nan Chen, so that she would never stand a chance ever again.
However, Luo Fei had underestimated Nan Chen.
Nan Chen had ruled the Nanshi Corporation business empire and triumphed the market. Obviously, he didn’t accomplish all that through luck alone.
Although he does not like to express himself much, he understood the human nature very well. Nan Chen saw right through Luo Fei's scheme when she did that.
He was like a king. He didn't mind giving, but hated being used.
Luo Fei's pathetic scheming was undoubtedly an insult to his IQ.
As if he would let her have her way like that!
He looked at Luo Fei, then at Ning Ran.
Then he nodded his head.
He left everyone in shock once again.
Mr. Chen nodded. Does that mean he agreed with Luo Fei's suggestion? Was he letting this woman who talked back at him get the role of second female lead?
Even the director was in disbelief and hurriedly tried to confirm it with him, “Mr. Chen, do you mean that she gets the role?”
Nan Chen nodded again without saying anything.
Then without stopping, he walked right out.
Cheng Xiangyun was sweating profusely. She felt as if she had gone through hell and back.
She had been in the entertainment industry for quite a while and had heard of Nan Chen countless times, but had never seen him in person.
All she knew was that he was a ruthless business tycoon whose words no one dared defy.
Those who have crossed him have disappeared from the entertainment industry completely with no chance of returning.
So, when Ning Ran butted heads with him earlier, Cheng Xiangyun had thought that she was done for.
But things took a huge turn, and Nan Chen had given Ning Ran a chance instead.
This was all thanks to Luo Fei's “help”.
Regardless, it was great news that Ning Ran got the role in the end!
Next, she had to discuss an important matter with Ning Ran, which was the resemblance of Nan Chen with Dabao and Erbao.
