Ning Ran arrived at the Nanshi Corporation, but security immediately stopped her.
With her get-up, anyone would be suspicious.
The only thing she could do then was to phone Jiang Zhe.
Catching sight of Ning Ran in her spy-like disguise, Jiang Zhe almost burst out in laughter.
He knew what Ning Ran was going through, so her disguising herself made sense.
Jiang Zhe brought Ning Ran directly to Nan Chen’s office, without notifying anyone because he knew. Ning Ran can see Mr. Chen whenever she’d like.
Upon bringing Ning Ran to the office, Jiang Zhe left.
In the office, Nan Chen raised his head to gaze at Ning Ran in her hilarious disguise. He could tell that it was Ning Ran because of her scent.
Ning Ran had a unique scent around her. No matter how she looked, Nan Chen could identify her, solely based on that.
“Gotten a new role as a spy?” Nan Chen asked as he put down the documents in his hand.
“I don’t want to be recognized,” Ning Ran announced as she took off her mask.
“It seems like you’re now aware of what’s it like to be famous. It’s not as you’ve thought, right?” Nan Chen teased.
Ning Ran was anticipating a scolding from Nan Chen about the commercial. However, Nan Chen’s reaction made it seem like things were not as serious as she thought.
“Everyone’s upset at me right now. It’s exhausting.”
Ning Ran removed her hat and sunglasses, placing them on the table before plopping herself onto the sofa.
“You’re here to whine?” Nan Chen asked.
Suddenly, Ning Ran was reminded of the reason that she was there. Hence, she immediately got up from the sofa. “Sorry! I’m here to plead guilty!”
Nan Chen raised an eyebrow. “Oh?”
“I know that you’re mad at me! I’m sure that you’d like to scold me!” Ning Ran exclaimed.
“If you say it like that, it’d be rude for me if I don’t, right?”
“Well, if you don’t, it will mean that you are a person with a big heart who accepts everyone!”
Something felt amiss when Ning Ran said that, but she merely let it be.
“Stop with the nonsense. What crime are you pleading guilty to?” Nan Chen asked.
“I shouldn’t have allowed the kids to do the commercial!” Ning Ran admitted.
“Why did they do it then?” Nan Chen’s eyes narrowed.
This was something that really bothered him. Even if Ning Ran had her reasons, he could not just let it go.
“I needed the money back then.” Ning Ran spoke the truth.
“How badly did you need the money? What was it for?”
