Nan Xiangwan originally intended to climb out of her grandfather’s house through the window to avoid making noise and waking the old man, but then she thought that if she were sleeping, she would definitely hear the sound of climbing out of the window, and she might even get up to see what was going on.
Her grandfather is old but still very skilled, so there’s no need to go through all that trouble.
So she simply walked through the front door and left a note on the dining table.
Five minutes after she left, Old Xin came out of the room, picked up the note with a blank expression, glanced at it, then crumpled it up, threw it into the trash can, and went back to his room to continue sleeping.
The snowy landscape at night was quite interesting; the deserted streets didn’t make Nan Xiangwan feel lonely, but rather gave her a rare sense of tranquility and gentleness.
She stood under a street lamp, carefully observing the world.
Until Pang Kaiji’s WeChat message came in…
[Pang Kaiji: I’ve arrived at the airport!]
“Nan Xiangwan:?”
I’m still in Beijing, what are you doing running to the Shanghai airport now?
The airport was still quite crowded late at night. She didn’t notice it in the VIP lounge, but when it was time to board, she saw a long queue next to her, which meant the entire flight was full.
She also spotted two familiar faces in the crowd.
Da Dan and Xiao Dan had already given up on filming and planned to return to Shanghai to find other jobs, but unexpectedly they ran into Nan Xiangwan here, on a discounted flight late at night.
Not only that, Nan Xiangwan actually walked straight towards the two of them!
The Dans were stunned, standing there speechless.
Xiao Dan, on the other hand, immediately took out his phone and snapped two pictures.
Nan Xiangwan asked with a smile, “What a coincidence? You two are also going to Shanghai?”
Da Dan: “Ah… Aba aba…”
Xiao Dan: “Yes, yes, we haven’t filmed anything for almost half a year, and we’re almost out of food.”
Nan Xiangwan was taken aback: “Is it because of me?”
Da Dan: “Aba aba…”
Xiao Dan scratched his head sheepishly: “We were just unlucky.”
Nan Xiangwan: “Let’s have dinner together when we get to Shanghai.”
Da Dan: “Aba aba?!”
Xiao Dan: “Really? Can we take pictures?”
Nan Xiangwan: “Sure.”
After saying that, she boarded the plane through the first-class passage and sent the flight information to Pang Kaiji.
After everyone left, Da Dan regained her senses: “She just invited us to dinner?”
Xiao Dan rolled her eyes: “Boss, aren’t you an old paparazzi? Why are you still so unsettled?”
Da Dan: “Where am I not calm! You don’t know anything. You hurry up and think of a hundred questions, and we’ll record a video to ask her in a bit.”
Xiao Dan: “They invited us to dinner, is it really appropriate for us to ask them questions?”
Da Dan: “Oh, that makes sense.”
His face turned red; during his conversation with Nan Xiangwan, he seemed to have been forcibly demoted in intelligence.
Luckily, he had a quick-witted younger brother!
….
Upon arriving in Shanghai, Da Dan and Xiao Dan not only met Nan Xiangwan, who was waiting for them, but also Pang Kaiji, who was waiting for them in a wheelchair.
Da Dan was once again so shocked that he lost his senses and was speechless for a long time.
Xiao Dan cleverly stepped forward and pushed Director Pang’s wheelchair.
The four of them found a secluded little restaurant and ordered some dishes.
During this time, Da Dan asked some questions while trembling, and Pang Kaiji gave selective answers.
Nan Xiangwan kept her head down and ate, and the whole process was friendly and peaceful, without any professional discrimination.
Da Dan and Xiao Dan were almost moved to tears!
The two took some photos and sold them to the media. They finally got some good shots, especially of Pang Kaiji, who was in a wheelchair. He was truly a man of great spirit despite his disability!
….
When Nan Xiangwan returned to the Ji Mansion, it was already past 3 a.m.
She yawned as she got on the elevator and saw two delivery boxes at the door. Hmm? Two?
She carried the box into the house and started opening it.
To her surprise, she found two sets of Chinese-style formal attire, one for a man and one for a woman.
The men’s clothing consisted of a long robe, generally dark blue, embroidered with green mountain patterns, and the cuffs were trimmed with silver embroidery.
Dark-colored long gowns were usually considered old-fashioned, but these embroidered details gave them a more youthful feel.
There was also a long silver satin scarf next to it, which, when paired with the long shirt, added a touch of style.
In the other box lay a cheongsam, its color scheme contrasting with the men’s long gown.
The cheongsam was made of silver silk with dark blue embroidered patterns. Because it was sleeveless, there was also a dark blue faux fur shawl next to it.
Nan Xiangwan was stunned. Is the dog now giving out matching couple items as gifts?
Do dogs also ship couples?
….
The next day, a news report was published.
On the eve of the premiere of “Starry Night,” Nan Xiangwan appeared at Shanghai Airport, where Pang Kaiji, in a wheelchair, came to pick her up.
There were photos, and they were high-definition; even the model of the wheelchair was clearly shown.
Countless movie fans were immediately drawn out, exclaiming how dedicated Director Pang was! He was really pushing himself to this extent!
This box office surge deserves our support!
The results were excellent, and many media outlets approached us for collaboration. Savvy people naturally realized that this was not a candid shot at all, but a close-up shot!
With such connections, how could there be a lack of news or trending topics?
As a result, Da Dan and Xiao Dan didn’t need to change careers, and because there were many media outlets seeking cooperation, they could even be selective.
….
At this moment, in a high-rise conference room of Orange East Entertainment, the managers of QWER boy group and YUIOP girl group gathered together. Also attending the meeting were the operations teams of both companies and the teams behind the two groups.
Sitting at the head of the table was Huang Xinglu, the CEO of Orange East Entertainment.
Speaking of this year, Orange East Entertainment experienced a rollercoaster ride, being jointly attacked by Nanbei Entertainment and Huawan Entertainment, falling from a top-tier company to below the third tier. If it weren’t for the timely support of overseas funds, this company would probably be gone by now.
Fortunately, things recovered after six months.
Even though the owner had changed, the company had grown considerably, and now it could even merge some smaller companies and recruit more artists.
Huang Xinglu tapped the table and said seriously, “Several small companies are about to merge, and the collaboration between these boy and girl groups is just the beginning. We must seize this opportunity, as it only comes once! The better the situation is for sci-fi movies over there, the greater the prospects for our two groups’ new songs! Do you understand?”
Everyone: “Understood!”
Huang Xinglu then took out a form and distributed it to everyone: “From now on, all artists’ career development should be based on this standard. Wasn’t the QWER boy band very successful? All male artists should adopt a gender-neutral style, and it would be best if they could set off a new fashion trend and be accepted by people on the street. Everyone’s clothing and style should move in this direction. Then we will be the benchmark for leading the new fashion, understand?”
Everyone: “Yes, boss! We’ll definitely do it!”
Huang Xinglu was very satisfied and said quietly, “The development of female artists cannot be neglected. Hasn’t YUIOP already made a name for itself? Sexiness is an eternal topic. All those other minor stars who are not famous can get themselves to do something similar. They don’t need to wear so much fabric. It’s okay to play on the edge a little.”
He had already made a fortune from the first wave of profits, and had clearly discovered the secret to wealth. As long as you go in this direction, you are bound to make money!
