My Wife Is a Superstar novel Chapter 923

Chapter 923 Looking Out For Oneself

In the end, they decided not to go out to see a movie.

Since nine in the morning, Ning Ran's phone kept ringing with calls from her acquaintances in the entertainment industry.

They called to congratulate Ning Ran on her movie grossing over a hundred million on the first day. In the entertainment industry, it was all about fame and fortune. Those so-called friends who didn't usually keep in touch naturally realized that Ning Ran's fame would only rise upon seeing her movie's success.

Hence, they were eager to call her and leave a good impression in case of future encounters.

Despite her plans to spend quality time with her children, Ning Ran found herself annoyed by the constant ringing of her phone. In an effort to deal with the annoyance, she decided to forward her calls to Cheng Xiangyun, who could handle them for her.

At noon, Cheng Xiangyun arrived to pick Ning Ran up for a styling session.

The nanny took care of the two children, arranging for them to nap while Ning Ran got in Cheng Xiangyun's car.

Cheng Xiangyun said excitedly, “Ran, when I first saw you, I already knew you would become a big star!”

“Oh, come on! You didn't say that before. Who was it that called me arrogant and unrealistic?” Ning Ran snorted.

“That definitely wasn't me! I've always thought you had the looks of a big star. That's why I brought you into the industry and followed you all the way in the first place. Can you honestly say that you could have made it without my help?”

After pondering for a moment, Ning Ran realized that Cheng Xiangyun did play an important role in her success.

Without her, she wouldn't have had any acting jobs or income when she first returned to the country.

In fact, she didn't even have a place to stay and had to rely on Cheng Xiangyun, who took her and her children in.

In times of hardship, true friendship was precious, and even though Cheng Xiangyun sometimes acted out of self-interest, it was natural for people to pursue their own benefits in this world.

“Thank you, Cheng. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. That's the truth,” Ning Ran said emotionally.

“Well, at least you have some conscience. So, how are you going to thank me now that your movie is a big hit?” Cheng Xiangyun teased.

“Um... I'll find you a man!” Ning Ran said.

“Huh? What do you take me for? Do you think I'm that lascivious? Can't you give me something more practical?” Cheng Xiangyun chided.

“Well, how about I give you the latest branded bag, plus a man?” Ning Ran suggested.

Cheng Xiangyun's mood lightened. “Okay, I knew you were generous! Can you replace the man with another bag, so I get two bags?”

“Hey, a man is worth much more than a bag. With a man, he can buy you a bag. Can a bag replace a man?” Ning Ran challenged.

After thinking for a while, Cheng Xiangyun agreed, “That's true. So, who are you going to introduce to me? Zheng Lunlun or Huang Zichao? Forget about Shi Jie; he's too young! I don't like young guys!”

Ning Ran was shocked as Cheng Xiangyun had just mentioned three of the most attractive male stars in the entertainment industry. She couldn't believe what she was hearing.

“Well, um, those guys are too good-looking. They won't give you a sense of security. I think we need someone who is handsome and down-to-earth,” Ning Ran said tactfully.

“Nan Xing? Oh my gosh, that's perfect!” Cheng Xiangyun exclaimed.

“Forget it! Nan Xing is pursuing Lu Jingyuan. He doesn't have time for you!” Ning Ran replied flatly.

“Oh, I guess Nan Xing is a shallow man. He only likes good-looking people. It's better not to have him.”

Stifling her laughter, Ning Ran said, “Yes, he's shallow. Let's not have him.”

“Who do you have in mind then?” Cheng Xiangyun asked.
