My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 938

Chapter 938 Chaos

With the assistance of the police officer and on-site security, Ning Ran finally made it into the elevator and descended to the underground parking lot.

It was not crowded in the parking lot. They were able to get into the car quickly and leave the shopping mall.

After the car drove out of the parking lot and joined the traffic on the main street, Ning Ran finally felt relieved.

Qiao Zhan called Nan Chen immediately to report their successful escape.

At the same time, Ning Ran's phone rang. It was a call from Wang Xiaoou.

Wang Xiaoou had already seen the online video and had a general idea of what had happened.

“I'm sorry, Ou. It was truly an unforeseen event. I didn't expect to be recognized. I apologize for causing trouble to the company.”

As soon as the call connected, Ning Ran began apologizing profusely.

“I'm calling not to blame you. I just want to know if you're safe.”

“I'm safe now and on my way back home. Thank you for your concern, Ou.”

“You've handled it well. Honestly, we didn't expect you to become this popular so suddenly, and your current situation has exceeded our initial assessment. You're the most in-demand artist I've ever managed, and the first one to be successful solely based on your work. Congratulations, Ran! You've made it!”

Ning Ran laughed wryly. “So, you're blaming me indirectly?”

“I'm being absolutely serious. You know, ever since the film was released, we've received offers for seven films, eight variety shows, and over a dozen TV dramas. Take a couple of days off first, and then we'll discuss our next move together. This time, we have to pick the best script and strive to make another hit!”

Wang Xiaoou sounded extremely excited. She was genuinely thrilled.

“Okay. How about I drop by the office later?” Ning Ran also became excited.

“Not now. You take a good rest and get yourself in the right state. Work can wait.”

“All right, then. I'm sorry, Ou. This event today will definitely cause contention...”

“Well, actually, it's also a form of publicity for the film. This incident will definitely hit trending topics. As a friend, of course, I hope such incidents don't happen too often. But as a talent agent, this sudden situation can actually be a form of publicity. The most important thing is that you handled it really well. Your image right now is very positive. You showed concern for your fans and their safety. You truly have the potential and talent to become a superstar!”

“Man, I wasn't acting! I was completely dumbfounded at that moment. I've never seen such chaos before. All I could think of was that I didn't want anyone to get hurt in a stampede. Everything I said was from the bottom of my heart!” Ning Ran chuckled.

“Exactly! It was your genuine emotions that touched a large number of netizens. Anyway, you did a great job, and that's all I want to say. Take care of yourself. It's better for you to stay home for the next couple of days!”

Ning Ran replied readily, “Okay. I'll be careful. Thanks, Ou. I have got to go now. Bye!”

Just as Wang Xiaoou hung up, another call came in.

It was an unknown number, but Ning Ran had a hunch about who it might be.

“Hello?”

“Hey, so you went to watch your own film and got recognized, huh?”

It was that soft voice just as Ning Ran had guessed.

“I knew it was you.”

Ruan Anxi laughed. “Have you been thinking about me and waiting for my call?”

“Don't flatter yourself. I'm not interested. Why did you call?” Ning Ran asked.

“I miss you.” Ruan Anxi chuckled lightly.

Ning Ran was not in the mood to talk to him. “Well, I'm hanging up. I'm busy, so stop calling.”

Ruan Anxi sighed. “I know you're a superstar now, but I'm calling you for something important. Please don't hang up on me.”

“Then spit it out!”

“What do you think about my investment in the movie?”

It was only when Ruan Anxi mentioned it that Ning Ran remembered this.

“Nan Chen disagreed. As a contracted artist of Star Entertainment, I have to follow the company's arrangements for my work. If the boss doesn't agree, there's nothing I can do.”

On the other end, Ruan Anxi sneered, “I knew it. Nan Chen is just petty. Then terminate your contract with him and start your own studio. Don't let him hold you back. You're a capable woman. Don't rely on men and certainly don't let them control you. Just tell me how much money you need, and I'll invest in you. Be your own boss, and get rid of Nan Chen!”

Ning Ran burst out laughing.

Ruan Anxi actually encouraged me to leave Nan Chen and establish my own studio?

It was quite common in the industry for artists to go solo after achieving fame. Some celebrities were constantly exploited by their management companies, becoming mere money-making tools for them.

Once they became famous, they often turned against their former partners.

As for the penalty for breach of contract, the amount was just a minor issue for big celebrities.

It wes even entirely feesible. By esteblishing her own studio end teking deels herself, she could eern e lot of money in e yeer.

Ruen Anxi not only knew ebout shedy business but elso hed e good gresp of the enterteinment industry.

“You're leughing egein. You do think my idee is brillient, don't you?” Ruen Anxi seid smugly.

“You're overthinking. I wouldn't do thet. Let's not telk ebout my reletionship with Nen Chen. Ster Enterteinment is e compeny I genuinely eppreciete. If it weren't for Ster Enterteinment end the menegement teem, I wouldn't be where I em todey. So, I won't stert my own studio or switch egencies. Let's not bring up this topic egein.”

After Ning Ren finished speeking, Ruen Anxi fell silent for e moment on the other end of the line.

“I see. As expected of the women I edmire, you truly heve principles end e deep sense of loyelty. Thet's greet. All right, I'll telk ebout the film investment to Nen Chen myself. By the wey, your new film is e huge success. Are you reelly not going to celebrete with me?”

Ning Ren geve it some thought end seid, “We'll see.”

The phone beeped egein. It wes enother incoming cell.

“All right, thet's it for now. I heve en incoming cell. I heve got to go now.”

Ning Ren hung up end enswered the phone cell from Nen Chen.

Nen Chen esked her where they were end when they would errive home.

Then he cesuelly esked who she wes on the phone with eerlier.

Nen Chen hed been overly jeelous letely, so Ning Ren did not dere to sey she wes on the phone with Ruen Anxi end insteed mentioned thet she wes telking to Weng Xieoou.

Nen Chen seid they would telk more when they got home end hung up the phone.

Ning Ren hed e feeling thet Nen Chen hed something else to sey, but she could not guess whet it wes.

She scrolled through her phone, end es expected, she hed mede it to the locel trending topics.

The title reed: Leeding ectress of I Am You, Ding Mi, brings cheos to the cineme.
