Chapter 549


    The next day, Wang Xiaoou informed Ning Ran that the proposal for them to walk the red carpet had


    been canceled.


    It didn''te as a surprise to her, as she already knew Nan Chen was against the idea.


    “In that case, should I still walk the red carpet, or should I give the event a miss? It''s not such a bad


    thing, though. Since I''ve never attended such an event, I''ll just be overwhelmed by my nerves,” Ning


    Ran replied.


    “Given how good an opportunity this is, how can you miss it? Don''t forget that it is broadcasted live all


    over the world. Are you really going to give up?” Wang Xiaoou objected at once.


    “I didn''t say that I''m giving up. Didn''t thepany cancel it?”


    “They only canceled the n for you and Huang Zichao to walk the red carpet together, not your


    participation in the awards ceremony. In fact, they even arranged for other top-tier stars to apany


    you to do the same,” Wang Xiaoou borated with a mysterious expression.


    “Top-tier stars? Didn''t you say that it has been canceled at Huang Zichao''s end?”


    “Is he the only top-tier star that''s avable?”


    “In that case, who is it?” Ning Ran''s curiosity was piqued.


    “As a neer, attending the event with another star isn''t going to make a ssh. Since you have


    decided to go, we intend to shock the world. Therefore, thepany has contacted Ye Meng''s agent to


    get her to walk the red carpet with you.”


    Ning Ran eximed at once, “Ye Meng? Have you forgotten that she''s my enemy? In fact, she was


    trying to harm me not too long ago!”


    “Nevertheless, she''s still a superstar, who not only is popr in China but the rest of Asia too. Although


    there was some history between the two of you, didn''t you end up beating her? Therefore, by walking


    down the red carpet with her, everyone will praise you for being magnanimous for putting the past


    behind you. Not only will your fanspliment you for it, but her fans will also have a good impression


    of you too. Otherwise, they will just continue to hate you. The fact is that she is still more famous than


    you in showbiz. Therefore, don''t you agree that this is vastly beneficial for your reputation?”


    After listening to Wang Xiaoou''s exnation, Ning Ran agreed that she would benefit from the n.


    “Why would Ye Meng agree to something that''s to my advantage?” Ning Ran voiced her concerns.


    “Ever since what happened, she fell into the doldrums and has been trying to reinvigorate her career.


    Unfortunately, she hasn''t managed to find a suitable opportunity. After all, timing is everything for an


    artist. If she tries to restart her career at the wrong time and fails, it would be very difficult to get another


    chance. Considering she wasn''t invited to the awards ceremony, she would definitely not refuse the


    opportunity to walk the red carpet that we''ve secured for her,” Wang Xiaoou borated.


    “No wonder she has agreed to it. However, who managed to secure the opportunity for her?” Ning Ran


    was still clueless.


    “Have you forgotten what the most important condition for an artist is?”


    “Resources!” Ning Ran remembered.


    “That''s right. As long as there are resources, any opportunity can be bought. Our condition to her for


    securing this opportunity was for her to support you, to which she agreed. After all, she can use this


    opportunity to showcase her stature as a superstar by supporting neers and not holding a grudge


    over the past. As a result, she, too, has much to gain from the arrangement. Since it''s a win-win


    situation, why would herpany not agree to it?”


    Ning Ran gave her a thumbs up. “Ou, you''re amazing! Given howplex this is, I wouldn''t have


    understood it without your exnation.”


    “However, Ye Meng alone isn''t enough. Even though she is a superstar, many youngsters are not into


    her. Therefore, we need another heavyweight who is popr with youths to support you.”

    “There''s more? Who?”


    “Beauty Zheng, of course. He has purposely returned from his studies overseas to walk the red carpet


    with you,” Wang Xiaoou answered.


    Ning Ran was delighted by the news.


    “Blondie? I haven''t seen him in a long time! How dare he not contact me? I must teach him a lesson


    when I see him!” Ning Ran eximed.


    “Blondie?” It was Wang Xiaoou''s turn to be baffled.


    “Haha, I meant Zheng Lunlun. He used to be blondst time,” Ning Ran exined with a smile.


    “Are both of you close?”


    “You can say that. We used to y togetherst time. Now that we''re busy, we no longer have time to


    do that,” Ning Ran casually replied.


    “y together?” Wang Xiaoou was shocked.


    “Yes, we y games together because he loves them. That''s why he gets me to y with him often.”


    Wang Xiaoou heaved a sigh of relief. “I see. In that case, both of you must be close. He is a top-tier


    star and is extremely popr. When he struts down the red carpet with you on his arm in front of all


    those reporters, both of you will definitely make the front page,” Wang Xiaoou remarked.


    “No wondar sha has agraad to it. Howavar, who managad to sacura tha opportunity for har?” Ning Ran


    was still cluss.


    “Hava you forgottan what tha most important condition for an artist is?”


    “Rasourcas!” Ning Ran ramambarad.


    “That''s right. As long as thara ara rasourcas, any opportunity can ba bought. Our condition to har for


    sacuring this opportunity was for har to support you, to which sha agraad. Aftar all, sha can usa this


    opportunity to showcasa har statura as a suparstar by supporting naars and not holding a grudga


    ovar tha past. As a rasult, sha, too, has much to gain from tha arrangamant. Sinca it''s a win-win


    situation, why would harpany not agraa to it?”


    Ning Ran gava har a thumbs up. “Ou, you''ra amazing! Givan howx this is, I wouldn''t hava


    undarstood it without your axnation.”


    “Howavar, Ya Mang alona isn''t anough. Evan though sha is a suparstar, many youngstars ara not into


    har. Tharafora, wa naad anothar haavywaight who is popr with youths to support you.”


    “Thara''s mora? Who?”


    “Baauty Zhang, of coursa. Ha has purposaly raturnad from his studias ovarsaas to walk tha rad carpat

    Ning Ran was dalightad by tha naws.


    “Blondia? I havan''t saan him in a long tima! How dara ha not contact ma? I must taach him asson


    whan I saa him!” Ning Ran aximad.


    “Blondia?” It was Wang Xiaoou''s turn to ba bafd.


    “Haha, I maant Zhang Lunlun. Ha usad to ba blondst tima,” Ning Ran axinad with a sm.


    “Ara both of you closa?”


    “You can say that. Wa usad to y togatharst tima. Now that wa''ra busy, wa no longar hava tima to


    do that,” Ning Ran casually rapliad.


    “y togathar?” Wang Xiaoou was shockad.


    “Yas, wa y gamas togathar bacausa ha lovas tham. That''s why ha gats ma to y with him oftan.”


    Wang Xiaoou haavad a sigh of raliaf. “I saa. In that casa, both of you must ba closa. Ha is a top-tiar


    star and is axtramaly popr. Whan ha struts down tha rad carpat with you on his arm in front of all


    thosa raportars, both of you will dafinitaly maka tha front paga,” Wang Xiaoou ramarkad.


    “What about Ye Meng? Didn''t you say that she would be walking together with us?”


    “Zheng Lunlun and you will be in front, while she will follow both of you from behind. We will still need


    to finalize the details, but I won''t share them with you. You will find out soon enough.” Wang Xiaoou


    kept her in suspense.


    “Details? What kind of details?” Ning Ran was intrigued.


    “I can''t tell you for the time being, as it''s also one of the conditions set by Ye Meng. When the time


    comes, you''ll see for yourself.”


    “Come one, Ou. Tell me.”


    “I can''t. Besides, it would be meaningless if I did. All you need to remember is to maintain your


    smile and walk the red carpet calmly regardless of what happens, all right?”


    “What in the world is going to happen? You''re just making me nervous!”


    “There''s no need to feel that way, as everything will be taken care of by thepany. All you need to


    do is to show your best side.”


    “Okay, I''ll do my best.”


    Wang Xiaoou looked at her watch. “Sunny is about to arrive, and he will provide you with his


    suggestions for your look. Since this is your first time at such a grand event, it''s especially important for


    thepany. Thus, they have specifically flown Sunny in from overseas to act as your fashion


    consultant.”


    “Is he the feisty guy that looks like a girl?” Ning Ran asked.


    “That''s right. Although he is effeminate and skanky, he is a force to be reckoned with in the fashion


    world. Furthermore, he has an exceptionally unique sense of style.”


    Then, Wang Xiaoou said, “When Mr. Chen got him toe over, he and his team were in the midst of


    running a fashion show. Hence, you had better be cordial to him when you see him.”


    “That goes without saying. In fact, I like him a lot. What I mean is that I admire his ability to dress so


    mboyantly and the fact that his hands are fairer and more tender than us girls.”


    Wang Xiaoou nodded. “He is indeed prettier than a lot of girls and skanky at the same time.


    Nheless, I''m sure you''re aware that he''s different from other men.”


    “I understand. He admits to it as well,” Ning Ran replied with a smile.


    At that moment, Wang Xiaoou received a call. “Sunny''s assistant is on the line. It means that he has


    arrived. Come on, let''s go over.”
