    Chapter 950 You Seeded


    Cheng Xiangyun found Ning Ran''s suddenughter strange.


    What is she reading that makes her this delighted? Will poprity make someone foolish?


    Curious, Cheng Xiangyun leaned closer to get a glimpse of Ning Ran''s phone. Ning Ran allowed her to


    do so without protest. To the former''s surprise, it was just Ning Ran''s Weibo feed, nothing out of the


    ordinary.


    Perplexed, Cheng Xiangyun could only shake her head, unable to understand why Ning Ran suddenly


    burst intoughter.


    Right at that moment, Ning Ran''s phone rang, and she noticed a familiar number disyed on the


    screen. However, she couldn''t quite recall who it belonged to.


    She answered the call. “Hello?”


    “Hello, Ms. Ding. This is Ouyang Qi.”


    Ning Ran was taken aback, as it had been some time since shest heard Ouyang Qi''s name.


    As she pondered, she realized that Ouyang Qi had been absent from the public eye for some time.


    Furthermore, his tone seemed more respectful nowpared to his previous flirtatious and endearing


    demeanor. Instead of calling her “Mi,” he addressed her as “Ms. Ding.”


    Ning Ran couldn''t get used to the change in his attitude.


    “Hello. It''ste, though. Is there anything you need?” Ning Ran asked.


    The man on the other end of the line hesitated. “I''d like to meet you. Is that possible?”


    Realizing that his request might have sounded sudden and unexpected, he added, “I have an urgent


    matter. It won''t take up too much of your time.”


    Even before they met up in person, Ning Ran felt that Ouyang Qi had changed.


    He sounded more careful and polite, unlike his previous self.


    Ning Ran nced at her watch. “It''s prettyte, and I''m actually not at Flower City. Why don''t I contact


    you when I return?”


    Ouyang Qi fell silent momentarily before revealing, “Coincidentally, I happen to be in the same city as


    you, and we''re both staying at the same hotel. If it''s convenient for you, would you mind meeting me at


    the hotel bar downstairs?”


    Ning Ran blurted out in surprise, “How do you know I''m staying here? How did you find me?”


    Ouyang Qi rified, “I have a friend in the production team of the show you''re filming, which is how I


    found out the hotel where the guests are staying. But rest assured nobody knows your specific hotel


    room.”


    “Fine. I''lle over shortly, so wait for me there,” Ning Ran finally agreed.


    Ning Ran reminisced about her past with Ouyang Qi, remembering how close they were in private.


    Ouyang Qi had pursued her passionately, but he always maintained a respectful distance and never


    caused her any harm.


    In fact, he had been a great source of support for her, offering help whenever she needed it.


    Thus, Ning Ran thought of Ouyang Qi as a friend.


    As time passed and Ouyang Duo''s death took its toll on him, their interactions gradually dwindled.


    However, Ning Ran still considered Ouyang Qi a friend.


    Given their history and the fact that he specifically sought her outte at night, she believed he must


    have something important to discuss.


    She couldn''t bring herself to refuse his request to meet.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    After ending the call, Ning Ran turned to a curious Cheng Xiangyun. “Ouyang Qi, the nine-fingered


    young master of the Ouyang family. Remember him?”


    “Of course I remember him. He used to court you, right? Does he have an ulterior motive for requesting


    to meet youte at night?” Cheng Xiangyun inquired.


    Ning Ran shook her head as she trusted Ouyang Qi.


    “I think he has something urgent to discuss with me. Let''s meet him together. I''d rather not take any


    chances withte-night encounters being captured by others and causing another public controversy.”


    Cheng Xiangyun nodded in agreement. “Yes. If someone else snaps a picture of you both, it will cause


    an uproar online. Besides, it will be hard to exin things to Sir Chen.”


    Hearing that, Ning Ran furrowed her brows. Oh, that reminds me. I forgot all about him.


    When Cheng Xiangyun and Ning Ran arrived at the hotel bar downstairs, Ouyang Qi was already


    waiting for them.


    Ning Ran had sensed Ouyang Qi''s transformation over the phone, but seeing him in person took her by


    surprise.


    Previously, Ouyang Qi had a slender build and fairplexion. He often wore colorful attire and had a


    carefree demeanor.


    However, the man standing before them had visibly gained muscle and developed a tan. He appeared


    much healthier now.


    “Hello, Mi!” Ouyang Qi''s eyes lit up in excitement as he greeted her with the familiar form of address.


    Ning Ran was pleased to reunite with a friend. “Why are you bulky now?”


    Ouyang Qi burst intoughter. “My sister kept me locked up overseas for quite a while. I ended up


    spending time with all these muscr foreigners, and let me tell you, I felt like a tiny chick among them.


    I had to pretend I knew martial arts just to avoid getting bullied. So every day, I would pretend to


    practice and convince them to join me. Surprisingly, it actually helped me gain some muscles. Oh, and I


    also visited Alendor and got a nice tan. But enough about me. How have you been? I watched your


    latest movie, and I must say, I''m thrilled to see how sessful you''ve be!”


    Ning Ran had asked a simple question, but Ouyang Qi couldn''t contain his excitement and ended up


    sharing a lot more than she expected.


    It was evident that he was genuinely happy to reconnect with Ning Ran and that he still deeply cared


    about her.


    Ning Ran smiled. “I wouldn''t say I''m sessful per se, but I have definitely gained more recognition


    now. It''s all thanks to the support of the audience. Oh, and by the way, this is my talent agent, Cheng


    Xiangyun. You''ve met her before, haven''t you? This is Ouyang Qi.”


    Cheng Xiangyun rolled her eyes. “Am I that unimportant? You forgot to introduce me until now!”


    Ouyang Qi stretched his hand out. “Nice to meet you, Ms. Cheng. You''re really capable as you made


    Mi into a superstar.”


    Cheng Xiangyun graciously epted the praise. “Indeed, I had the privilege of securing Ning Ran''s


    first acting opportunity. Even back then, I had a strong belief that she would be a superstar one


    day!”


    Ning Ran rolled her eyes at how smug the other woman looked.


    Ouyang Qi shed a smile as he raised his ss. “To the talent agent and the superstar.”


    Ning Ran inquired, “By the way, you mentioned earlier that you had something urgent to tell me. Please


    go ahead. It''s gettingte, and I need to get some rest for work tomorrow.”


    Ouyang Qi nced at Cheng Xiangyun, seemingly hesitant to speak.


    Cheng Xiangyun immediately realized that Ouyang Qi wanted to talk to Ning Ran in private.


    “Fine, I''ll wait for you outside. Hurry up.”


    Ning Ran trusted Cheng Xiangyun, but she had no idea what Ouyang Qi wanted to say and couldn''t


    insist that Cheng Xiangyun stay behind.


    “Firstly, I want to express my gratitude to Nan Chen for helping me out of a difficult situation overseas


    and for putting the past behind us. I wanted to thank him in person, but it seems he''s currently busy


    and doesn''t have the time to meet up.”


    Ning Ran wondered if Nan Chen was indeed busy. If he truly was busy, he wouldn''t have the time to


    engage in a war with theizens on Weibo anonymously.


    Still, Ning Ran nodded understandingly. “Yes, he''s been swamped with meetings and has a hectic


    schedule. I''ll definitely convey your gratitude to him on your behalf.”


    Ouyang Qi fell silent for a moment before speaking again. “Actually, besides wanting to catch up with


    you after such a long time, I also wanted to discuss some work-rted matters. Ouyang Li is currently


    exerting pressure on the veteran shareholders who support me within thepany. There''s a serious


    internal conflict going on. She''s considering merging thepany with Prosperity Holdings and is


    prepared to exchange shares. I don''t want that to happen, and I believe Nan Chen wouldn''t want it


    either. That''s why I need his assistance in preventing this merger from taking ce.”


    Ning Ran could barely hide her surprise as this was indeed a serious matter.


    If Ouyang Li pushes through the merger, thepany will end up being the biggest in the state, and


    Nanshi Corporation will face a huge threat. I need to tell Nan Chen about this.


    Ning Ran understood Ouyang Qi''s intentions and readily agreed to his request. He was pleased,


    knowing that he had found the right person to seek help from.


    Since it was gettingte, Ning Ran bid him farewell after a brief conversation. Ouyang Qi didn''t try to


    stop her from leaving as he had done in the past.


    They went back to their own rooms to retire for the night.
