Chapter 688


    Ning Ran looked at the director and asked, “What do you mean?”

    “In the long run, we''re afraid that more conflicts will ur, and none of us can film. After that, they told


    us to get Ding Mi to talk to them. I think it''s because you''re famous and influential. If you were to talk to


    them, they might considerpromising,” the director answered.


    “Me?” Ning Ran was unsure if she heard that correctly.


    The director was feeling slightly uneasy when he replied, “Yes. They specifically asked for you. I didn''t


    dare to say yes to them because I needed to ask you first.”


    “Do they know me? I''m neither a producer nor a director. I''m just an actress. Why do they want to talk


    to me?” Ning Ran was puzzled.


    “I don''t think it''s logical, too. If you don''t want to do it, I won''t force you. We''ll deal with them ourselves.


    However, they aren''t necessarily the friendliest bunch of people, so it''s quite hard to have a decent


    conversation with them.” The director heaved a sigh.


    “Let''s call the police, then. We got here before them, no? What makes them think they cane and


    disrupt our filming?”


    “There''s no use in calling the police. This is just a minor conflict, and they''re not breaking anyws. The


    police would just leave after saying a few words.”


    Ning Ran thought about it and asked, “Why do you think they want me there? Are they going to put me


    in a tough spot?”


    “That''s one of the possibilities,” the director admitted.


    “Why would they do that?”


    The director wanted to say something, but he hesitated.


    “It''s okay. Speak your mind,” Ning Ran said.


    “They''re filming a science fiction movie called Me And You, whereas ours is called I Am You. Don''t you


    think the movie titles are very simr? Besides, both films are of the same genre. We''re now still


    looking for a legal team to see if there''s an infringement issue. As for why they specifically asked for


    you, I heard that it''s because you rejected their contract. Obviously, it''s just a rumor. We don''t know for


    sure,” the director said.


    “It seems like they''re just messing with us. We have simr titles and the same genre. Is this not


    giarism?” Ning Ran grew anxious.


    “We''re not sure yet. If that''s the case, we''ll sue them. I also heard about how they wanted you to be


    their second female lead prior to this. They offered you twenty million for the role, right? However, Star


    Entertainment turned it down. Perhaps they feel humiliated, so they came to cause trouble. They even


    insisted on having a chat with you.”


    That was when Ning Ran had a sudden realization. Something like that did happen. I even got into an


    argument with Nan Chen because of it. At that time, I wanted to take part in the film because the pay


    was good. However, Nan Chen is the boss. He turned it down, and there was nothing I could''ve done


    about it. I definitely can''t meet them if that''s what this is about.


    “I''m not going. I don''t want to talk to them because it''s not my job to do so,” Ning Ran said.


    In the past, Ning Ran would surely help her team out because she was a passionate person.


    However, things changed ever since she and Nan Chen got into the car ident. She felt as though


    danger lurked in every nook and cranny of the world. Thus, she became a lot more cautious.


    Needless to say, there were instances when she would get impulsive and act recklessly. For example,


    that was exactly what happened when she stood up for Rong Rong at the club.


    However, she was perfectly calm this time. There are so many leaders in the production team. As an


    actress, I don''t think it''s within my job scope to negotiate with others.


    “Sure. We''ll figure something out. After all, this really isn''t your responsibility. We''ll trymunicating


    with them again. If nothing works out, we''ll call the police,” the director replied helplessly.


    “It''s not that I don''t want to help the production team out, but I just feel as though they have ulterior


    motives for wanting me there. I can''t fall into their trap.”


    “I understand.” The director nodded helplessly.


    With that, the director left to attend to other matters.


    After a moment of contemtion, Ning Ran thought it would be wise to tell Nan Chen about it. He


    rejected them and offended them. Now, they''re after me.


    She didn''t want to call Nan Chen directly, so she called Qiao Zhan, hoping that Qiao Zhan would inform


    Nan Chen about it.


    Qiao Zhan freaked out when he heard about what was happening. “Madam, you mustn''t meet them!


    They surely have bad intentions. Don''t get tricked by them!”


    “Don''t worry. I''m not falling into their trap. I only called you because I want you to tell Nan Chen about


    it.”


    “Okay. I''ll report it to him.”


    After a while, Ning Ran''s phone started vibrating. It was a call from Jiang Zhe.


    “What is it, Assistant Jiang?” Ning Ran answered the phone.


    To her surprise, she heard Nan Chen''s maic voice asking, “How dare you not answer my phone?


    Are you sick of living?”


    Nan Chen tried calling Ning Ran a few times, but she didn''t answer his calls. Hence, he called her on


    Jiang Zhe''s phone.


    “What is it? I''ll hang up if there''s nothing else you''d like to say.”


    “How dare you!” Nan Chen hollered.


    “Who are you trying to threaten here? Why wouldn''t I dare?” Ning Ran was infuriated.


    “If you hang up on me, I''ll get someone to send the kids back to Flower City!” Nan Chen uttered.


    Ning Ran immediately saw red. He''s doing this again! He''s threatening to take the kids away! This is


    not the first time he has done this. Is he not sick of it yet?


    Unfortunately, that was Ning Ran''s chink in the armor.


    She was indeed worried that Nan Chen would bring the kids back to Flower City because she wanted


    to see the kids every day.


    “What do you want to say to me?” Ning Ran asked.


    “Don''t you have something to tell me? What did the production team want you to talk to them about?”


    Nan Chen asked.


    “You''re joking, right? I didn''t even see them. How am I supposed to know what they want to talk to me


    about? Besides, aren''t you the cause of all this? You rejected their contract, and now they''re looking for


    trouble!” Ning Ran fumed.


    “How did they know where you''re filming at? It''s not like you''re filming at a well-known ce, right?


    How did they end up in the same ce as you?” Nan Chen asked.


    “How would I know? Why are you asking me all these questions?”


    “If you don''t know, then you should go and find out! I never knew trouble woulde to those who turn


    down contracts! If that''s the case, what would happen to those celebrities that turn down countless


    offers in a year? Wouldn''t they be in a lot of trouble? In this case, those people are undoubtedly


    targeting you. Since they want to see you, why don''t you ask them what they want?”


    Nan Chen thought she was hallucinating when she heard those words. Does Nan Chen really want me


    to find out? I didn''t want to go because I know it could be dangerous. Why would he want me to get into


    trouble? That''s pure evil! What''s the matter with him?


    Seeing that Ning Ran was keeping mum, Nan Chen ordered, “Speak!”


    “Those people obviously have ill intentions. Why would you want me to risk my life?”


    “What are you on about? It''s broad daylight. There are at least hundreds of people in both the


    production teams, no? What do you think they could do to you? If they want to hurt you, they would do


    it stealthily. Why would they ask to see you so brazenly? Did you leave your brains behind in Flower


    City or something?”
