My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 93

Nanshi Corporation, CEO’s office.

Jiang Zhe came in and placed some photos and files of several actresses on Nan Chen’s desk.

“Mr. Chen, these are the actresses we’ve found to replace Ding Mi. These five in particular are the more suitable candidates, please have a look.”

Nan Chen picked up the files and glanced through them. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

His first thought was These people are too plain.

Out of the five, three of them had similar-looking faces. They were a dime a dozen, like most internet sensations.

The remaining two looked unique, but just lacked some flair to their appearance.

As for what they lacked, it could only be described as life.

Nan Chen frowned, and his expression grew cold.

“The best?” He looked up at Jiang Zhe.

“You could say they’re the best in the industry. Three of them have received awards for their acting skills and were top of their field.” Jiang Zhe said nervously.

Nan Chen’s frown deepened.

They would never be able to replace that woman like this.

Although her character was terrible, she lived for acting.

Her every move was captured perfectly on camera.

She had perfect control over the intensity of her emotions. That was an innate talent that no director could possibly create.

“No.” Nan Chen concluded.

“Mr. Chen, these are really the best five we could pick.” Jiang Zhe said.

“These won’t do, keep looking.” Nan Chen said.

“Mr. Chen…”

“Keep looking.”

Jiang Zhe dared not say another word. If the boss had rejected what he claimed to be the best five candidates, what else could he do?

“Mr. Chen, I have something to say, but I’m not sure if I should.”

“Say it.”

“You take this film so seriously that you even got Young Master Lun to star in it. So, why are you replacing Ms. Ding?”

Nan Chen kept quiet.

If the boss doesn’t say a word, it means he doesn’t want to talk about it. So, that means the only thing left to do is to keep searching for better candidates.

As for when the right one can be found and whether or not it can be found, is a different story.

Nan Chen went back to reading his documents, as Jiang Zhe tidied up the files of the actresses and silently backed out of the office.

After Jiang Zhe left, Nan Chen looked back up and stared into space.

He didn’t want to replace Ning Ran either, as he knew that this film would be a classic.

Anyone could make a show a hit. To make it a classic that can withstand the test of time, however, was no easy task.

It would greatly enhance the reputation and brand value of the entertainment company if they could produce a classic.

Some companies have produced a lot of films but none of them were remembered by the audience.

That was why Nan Chen had Zheng Lunlun star in this film to produce a classic.

It would also be able to let Zheng Lunlun who loved acting get a boost in his popularity.

But, alas, the actress that was so good at her job was a very bad woman.

Not only did she want to marry into the Nan family for her personal gains, but she also tried to mess around with Zheng Lunlun.

If word got out about this, the Nan family’s reputation as the number one household in Flower City would be completely destroyed by her.

Of course, the Nan family’s reputation was much more important than a film, so Nan Chen could only sacrifice the film and had her replaced.

As long as he could find someone suitable, Nan Chen would immediately have her disappear completely from Flower City.

Nan Chen stood up and paced about in his office.

Then, he picked up his phone and called Nan Xing.

Nan Xing answered quickly, “Yes, brother?”

“Were you the one picking the kids up from school lately?”

“Yes, why?”

“I’ll pick them up today.”

“Huh? You want to personally pick them up? But you’re so busy, there’s no need for you to!” Nan Xing was very surprised.

Nan Chen hung up the phone without any further explanation.

Whatever he says, goes. There was no need for explanations.

After the call, Nan Chen quickened his pace of work. He had to make time for himself to pick up the children.

To the children, taking them away from their mother was unfair no matter what.

So, Nan Chen wanted to get them used to the environment at his house as much as possible. That way, they would not find it to be unfamiliar and lonely.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, Nan Chen showed up at the entrance of the kindergarten on time.

The beautiful women who have been teasing Nan Xing in the past few days realized that the person they were going to tease today had become as cold as a block of ice.

Not only did he ignore their attempts at striking up conversations with him, he didn’t even bother to look at them.

Not even through the corners of his eyes.

He just stood there with his back straight and eyes forward, exuding a cold aura from his body.

Although the kindergarten was run by the education group under the Nanshi Corporation, the people in charge there never had a chance to meet someone from the top levels of management like Nan Chen.

In other words, no one there knew Nan Chen.

They just felt that the man who came to pick up the kids today was different from the usual one in the white suit. Although it was a sunny day, him standing there made it feel cold.

As usual, Dabao took Erbao’s hand and walked out slowly after all the other kids had left.

The block of ice smiled slightly at the sight of the kids and melted a little.

“Daddy!” Erbao called out sweetly.

“It’s uncle Nan Chen.” Dabao’s eyes lit up.

“Hmm? Is it really Uncle Nan Chen?” Erbao found it hard to believe.

“It’s uncle Nan Chen. Daddy doesn’t look like that.” Dabao said.

“But don’t they look the same?”

“To outsiders, we look the same too.” Dabao said.

Erbao thought about it, and felt what Dabao said makes sense.

To those who didn’t know them, they looked exactly the same and no one could tell them apart.

But they were not the same at all.

“Uncle Nan Chen!” Erbao called out.

Nan Chen reached out with open arms.

“I want to ride the horsey!” Erbao said in her cute voice.

Nan Chen put her on top of his expensive suit without a word.

“Uncle Nan Chen, why are you free to pick us up today?” Erbao asked.

“Hmm, because I missed you.” Nan Chen said.

Erbao broke out in laughter, which confused Nan Chen.

“Uncle Nan Chen, why are you like a child? Didn’t we just meet the other day? And you already miss us now? If we were to go overseas, wouldn’t you miss us to death?” Erbao laughed.

“Go overseas?”

“Yeah, mommy said if the people in Flower City don’t welcome us, she’d take us overseas.” Erbao said.

Nan Chen snorted, What does that woman mean by telling them that? Does she plan on running away with them?

“Why go overseas? Why would anyone not welcome you?” Nan Chen asked.

“I don’t know either. Mommy told us that. We believe whatever mommy tells us.” Erbao said.

“Then what did mommy tell you about me?” Nan Chen asked suddenly.

He regretted asking that after he did. Getting information from children like that was not his style.

“Mommy said you’re handsome and kind.” Erbao said.

Of course, those were just Erbao’s words. Ning Ran never said such a thing.

But Nan Chen was shocked to hear it.

He could clearly feel his heart skip a beat.
