My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 744

Chapter 744 You Have Got No Choice

If this is the standard, Ning Ran undoubtedly doesn’t fulfill the requirements of being the daughter-in-law of the Nan family. Upon seeing that Nan Chen wasn’t saying anything, Nan Zhengde panicked. “Don’t tell me she has never received any education!”

“Of course not. I’m really not all that sure about her academic qualifications, but I know she has studied abroad. Anyway, Grandpa, I’m going to marry her to be my wife, not recruit her to be my employee. Why are you asking about that?”

“Is getting married more important or recruiting an employee?” Nan Zhengde asked in return. “The former, of course!” Nan Chen answered.

“Exactly! Inquiring after someone’s academic qualifications is necessary even in an insignificant matter as recruiting an employee, so it’s only natural that the same inquiry is made when it comes to marriage,” Nan Zhengde riposted while glowering at the man.

That had Nan Chen at a loss for a retort. He had never thought that his grandfather would lay a trap for him.

“Everyone knows that having high academic qualifications doesn’t equate to being highly capable. That’s indeed true. But a person’s level of education can at least prove her learning ability and willingness to put in hard work in studying. That’s why recruiters like to hire those who graduated from prestigious universities. It’s not that they’re all elites, but at the very least, the probability of prestigious universities producing elites is higher. You do understand this principle, don’t you?” Nan Zhengde queried.

Having no other choice, Nan Chen could only nod. Naturally, he understood that principle.

“Thus, if Ning Ran’s level of education is very low, we’ve got to see whether it’s because she has poor learning ability, unwilling to study, or is lazy. If those are the reasons, she needs to redeem herself. Find a good university for her and have her pursue her studies. When she graduates, you can marry her!” Nan Zhengde declared.

Nan Chen couldn’t take it anymore. “Grandpa, she’s already the mother of two kids, yet you’re asking her to pursue her studies?”

“But she’s still young. Judging from her looks, she’s only in her twenties. She can totally pursue her studies. Besides, isn’t there a saying that learning is a lifelong journey? Having her improve her level of education is vital in ensuring that she’s capable of playing the role of your wife. Ultimately, she wouldn’t only be your wife but also the wife of the chairman of Nanshi Corporation, a person who has a significant influence on the company. It’s only natural that she has to be impeccable in terms of academic qualifications, character, capabilities, and every other aspect!” Nan Zhengde proclaimed loudly.

Those words made absolute sense, so Nan Chen really couldn’t find any fault with them.

I initially thought that he was pressuring me into getting married, but never had it crossed my mind that he had such a trick up his sleeve. It’s clear as day that he wants to test Ning Ran. Or in other words, he wants to temper her so that she’ll be more outstanding. Otherwise, she wouldn’t stand a chance of marrying into the Nan family. But she doesn’t seem as though she loves studying. Will she go up against me if I ask her to go and pursue her studies? Even if she doesn’t dare to do so and obey me, she might possibly play truant, no?

“What are you thinking about now? Do you think I’m asking too much of her?” Nan Zhengde questioned.

Only then was Nan Chen jolted out of his thoughts. “I understand your reasons, Grandpa. I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”

Half an hour later, Ning Ran’s cry of surprise rang out from her room. “What? You want me to pursue my studies? I’m already at this age, yet you want me to attend university?”

Her reaction was far more intense and exaggerated than Nan Chen had anticipated.

He furrowed his brows. “Calm down, won’t you? I’m just discussing this with you.”

Still, Ning Ran shrieked, “How can I possibly calm down? How would I have the time to study when I need to film?”

“What are your academic qualifications, then?”

“Didn’t I tell you already? I was sold off when I was a freshman. I later got pregnant and went abroad. Hence, I’ve got no academic qualifications!” Ning Ran groused with a bitter expression on her face.

“In other words, your highest level of education is high school?”

In response, Ning Ran nodded. “Yeah.”
