When Ning Ran arrived on the set for the commercial shoot, she realized the people there were staring at her oddly.
It was not that surprising as she, a newcomer to the scene, had managed to get an opportunity to advertise Channing’s products. Even she was amazed, let alone them.
One of the staff informed her, “Ms. Ding, the dressing rooms are over there.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Ning Ran was feeling rather out of place seeing that this was the first time she was shooting a commercial. What more, it was an advertisement for such a luxurious brand.
“Ran, calm down. You’re a celebrity now; act like one. You have to put on an air of confidence! Otherwise, you might be bullied by the others!” Cheng Xiangyun whispered to Ning Ran.
“I’m still a newbie, not a celebrity! I don’t have the right to act so proudly!” Ning Ran muttered back.
“You can’t act too humbly either. Showbiz has always been a vanity fair. You’ll only get picked on if you act too meekly.”
“I’ll just keep a low profile for now. If anyone were to bully me then I’ll decide what to do.”
For some reason, what Nan Chen had said to her before rang through her mind.
Don’t let anyone bully you. If they bully you, you bully them back.
Cheng Xiangyun’s sharp eyes caught the faint smile quirking Ning Ran’s lips. “What are you smiling at?”
“Oh, nothing.” Ning Ran snapped out of her thoughts.
Pushing open the dressing door, she saw a beautiful woman having her make-up done. There were four people standing nearby.
One of them bellowed, “Ms. Ye is having her make-up done! Who said you could enter? Get out!”
Ning Ran took a closer look at the woman, instantly recognizing her as Ye Meng.
When Ning Ran had still been overseas, Ye Meng was already famous all across Asia.
She had debuted in Korea but then broke off the contract with her company there. Unfortunately, she did not attain much fame upon returning to China.
After that, she headed to Japan and was cast in an explicit movie where she showed her amazing body and was suddenly exploded into fame.
Despite that, she terminated her contract in Japan and returned to China once more.
At last, due to that movie, she became a celebrity in China. In a few years’ time, she had attained the status of a superstar.
Ning Ran had never seen the movie that made Ye Meng famous but she had seen her commercials. She had to admit that Ye Meng really did have a spectacular body.
Even as a woman herself, Ning Ran had to admire Ye Meng’s gorgeous figure. She had curves in all the right places with not a hint of unnecessary fat.
Comparing herself to Ye Meng, she found that they were not even in the same league.
She bowed a little at the waist. “Sorry for interrupting.”
“Hold on.”
Ye Meng gestured for the make-up artist to stop for a moment. Turning her head, she asked one of the people standing around her. “Who is she?”
She had not asked Ning Ran that question. Instead, she was staring at Ning Ran while asking the person closest to her. This clearly showed her arrogant attitude.
“No idea. I don’t recognize her. She must be one of the janitors.”
“Hmm, yeah. She does look like a janitor.” Ye Meng nodded.
Ning Ran was certain they were doing this on purpose.
Although she was not exactly decked out in shining jewelry, she had dressed rather appropriately for the occasion. There was no way she looked anything like a janitor.
On that note, she actually thought the job of a janitor was rather noble. She held the utmost respect for them.
Yet what Ye Meng and her lackey said clearly showed their disdain for janitors. Otherwise, she would not have used that as an insult to Ning Ran. Ye Meng was belittling her deliberately!
Ning Ran did not reply, she merely dipped her head and made to back out of the room.
What’s wrong with being a janitor? They’re doing hard labor to earn a living. There’s nothing wrong with that!
Ye Meng spoke up again, “Stop right there! Did I say you could leave?”
Ning Ran stopped in her tracks.
As expected of a superstar! She has a group of attendants who are so cooperative!
