Chapter 842
Nheless, Ruan Anxi was delighted to hear that. “Ran, your words are interesting.”
“It''s all your fault! Not only did you harm me, but you also harmed Nan Chen!” Ning Ran raged.
“Well, I really didn''t expect this matter to affect Nan Chen. It''s a surprise for me, though I''m delighted to
find out he''s affected, too.” Ruan Anxi''sughter was a little exaggerated.
“D*mn it! You b*stard!”
Ning Ran never wanted to cuss at Ruan Anxi, but thetter was too annoying. That was the only way to
deal with someone like him.
Regardless, Ruan Anxi was not the slightest bit affected. He continued saying slowly and calmly, “Calm
down, Ran. Don''t be mad. It''ll make me sad.”
He did not seem bothered that he was getting scolded. To him, everything was a minor matter as long
as it did not involve life and death.
“Get lost! Don''t call me ever again!”
Ning Ran ended the call right away.
The moment she turned around, she saw Nan Chen standing behind her.
She exined frantically, “He called, and I scolded him!”
“I heard,” Nan Chen responded coldly.
“I''m really sorry about this...”
“It has already happened. There''s no use saying sorry now.”
“You me me for it?”

“Am I not supposed to?” Nan Chen asked.
He''s right. It''s originally my fault.
Although she felt wronged, everything still happened because of her. Hence, she ought to take
responsibility for it.
“Fine. It''s my fault. I admit it. But how are we going to salvage this when Mr. David is refusing to
negotiate with you?”
“We''re still thinking of a way. My team will deal with it,” Nan Chen responded.
At that moment, Erbao ran into the house with Nan Chen''s phone. “Daddy, your phone''s vibrating.”
Nan Chen picked it up. “What is it?”
The person on the other end of the line said something in response. After listening to the caller, Nan
Chen said, “Tell the higher-ups to hold a meeting now. I''ll be right there.” With that, he hung up.
The fact that Nan Chen was leaving right then meant it was something important. Ning Ran asked
meekly, “Is it about thepany?”
“We have news that Prosperity Holdings is negotiating with DBA, and they''ll be signing the contract
earliest by tomorrow.”
As Nan Chen was saying that, he picked up his coat and got ready to leave.
Although he looked unfazed, Ning Ran knew he was anxious on the inside.
Once DBA signed the contract, it wouldst for five years. That meant Nanshi Corporation would have
zero chances of signing a contract with DBA for five years. On top of that, no one knew what would
happen five yearster.
“Prosperity Holdings runs a video production business too? Are they one of yourpetitors?”
“Yes. Their industrial distribution is simr to ours. Last year, they paid a handsome price to buy a video
productionpany, but they''ve always been behind us. If they manage to get DBA''s online
broadcasting rights, they''ll possibly surpass us. Rest early, all of you. I have to go out for an emergency
meeting now.”
When he finished speaking, he rushed out of the house.
s, Ning Ran could not fall asleep even when the children had already drifted off to sleep. All she
could think of was that matter.
The more she thought about it, the more frustrated she felt. She felt extremely aggrieved that she
wanted to vent it out to someone.
Thus, she sent Lu Jingyuan a text: Are you asleep? How are you doing?
Lu Jingyuan replied almost instantly: It''s still early. Let''s talk.
Just like that, they began talking. Though Lu Jingyuan was in the capital, she knew what had happened
to Ning Ran, and sheforted thetter.
Ning Ran: I''m fine, actually. I just feel uneasy because the incident affected Nanshi Corporation. I feel
like I''m nothing but trouble.
Lu Jingyuan: Actually, I know that CEO from DBA, too. In fact, I know for a fact he''s going to the capital
tomorrow to inspect the venue for China Open. I can help you make some arrangements if you want to
exin the situation to David yourself.
Truthfully, Ning Ran did have the urge to do so. After all, everything started with her. She believed she
needed to rify Nanshi Corporation had nothing to do with the donation incident and that they were
not involved in moneyundering.
Even if the relevant departments had spoken up to prove Nanshi Corporation''s finances were clean,
the negative impacts would not be eliminated immediately. One of them was the shelving of the
negotiation with DBA regarding the broadcast rights.
Therefore, Ning Ran felt she should do something to help them out. The fact that Lu Jingyuan could
make some arrangements to assist her could not be better.
After hanging up, Ning Ran immediately booked the earliest flight to go to the capital the next morning.
Ning Ran then sent Cheng Xiangyun a text, informing thetter she had to be away for a day and
needed thetter''s help to send the kids to school the next day.
Soon, the next afternoon arrived. Ning Ran met DBA''s CEO, David, in the hotel beside Woond
Stadium.
Although she had Lu Jingyuan aspany, she still felt nervous.
After all, she was only an actress and had zero experience in business negotiations. Moreover, she did
not know if meeting David personally would help Nan Chen or make things worse.
After introducing Ning Ran in fluent English, Lu Jingyuan revealed the former''s identity as Nan Chen''s
girlfriend instead of his wife.
Ning Ran had not been using English ever since she returned to China. One had to use anguage
often or they would forget how to speak in thatnguage after a long time.
Besides, she was nervous. When she spoke, she stuttered and almost used the wrong words.
Lu Jingyuan, who sat beside Ning Ran, gently patted thetter on the back, indicating for her to calm
down and speak slowly.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Ran exined without stuttering, “About that donation incident. It''s my
private matter. It has nothing to do with Nan Chen. Besides, we''re not married yet. So, my matters
shouldn''t affect him or your judgment toward Nanshi Corporation.”
“Ms. Ning, you''re really pretty. I admire your honesty, but this is an official affair. I don''t call the shots
here,” said David with a smile.
“I know. That''s why I think it shouldn''t be affected by my personal matters. Nanshi Corporation is a very
capable international corporation. The number of registered users of their video productionpany
has been skyrocketing for the past two years. And since they''re an internationalpany, they know
how to do a good job at broadcastingpetitions for foreign countries. They''ll even help maximize
DBA''s influence in China. If you gave up working with Nanshi Corporation because of my personal
matters, I believe it''ll bring a huge loss to both parties. That''s why I''vee here to meet you in
person, not on behalf of Nanshi Corporation, but on behalf of myself to exin the situation to you. I
know my exnation might not influence your decision, but I hope I''ve made the situation clear. Thank
you for giving me the chance to exin myself.”
Ning Ran had no experience in business negotiations. Thus, she did not really know how to convince
David.
When Ning Ran finished, Lu Jingyuan chimed in, “Ning Ran''s a celebrity in China. She can help to
promote DBA in the future. Besides, Nanshi Corporation''s existing resources are better than the other
video productionpanies. I hope you can reconsider your decision.”
