Chapter 1044 Who Is He
Feng Wan expressed her dissatisfaction, saying, “So, am I the only one who thinks this is a serious
matter? Do all of you see it as trivial?”
Ning Ran dared not respond.
Feng Wan pointed at Nan Zhengde. “Tell me. How do you n on resolving this issue?”
“I''m still thinking. If we were to hold a press conference now, it would put us on the defensive. I''ve been
an influential figure in Flower City for decades. Why should I rify every time a rumor about me is
made? Even if we let the hospital release my medical record to prove that I don''t have a terminal
illness, those rumor-mongers would still im that the evidence is false. Therefore, it''s not a suitable
time to hold a press conference at this time.” With that, Nan Zhengde also frowned.
This matter is indeed quite tricky to handle.
Ning Ran was deep in thought when she was suddenly put on the spot by Feng Wan.
“Ning Ran, what do you think?”
Ning Ran was taken aback. “Me?”
“I have the feeling you have something to say. If you have any ideas, feel free to share them,” Feng
Wan encouraged her.
“I agree with Mr. Nan''s decision not to clear things up officially for the time being. Putting this in the
entertainment industry''s context, this issue is spreading like wildfire now, so any rifications made
would likely be drowned out by skepticism. Only when the hype subsides and people calm down will
they have the patience to hear an objective exnation and understand the truth. I also don''t agree
with holding a press conference now, but we should still do something,” Ning Ran borated.
Feng Wan nodded. “Go on.”
“I have an idea, but it''s more of an entertainment industry approach and may not necessarily be
suitable for this type of incident. Since Mr. Nan''s illness is quite a serious matter, I''m worried it might
seem inappropriate if we use this method to deal with it,” Ning Ran added.
However, Nan Zhengde''s interest was piqued. “The entertainment industry''s approach? How does it
work?”
Ning Ran was still hesitant. “Are we really going to resort to this method? Will it work?”
Nan Zhengde exhorted, “If we don''t give it a try, how will we know if it''ll work?”
An hourter, halfway up a hill outside the city, Nan Zhengde was climbing the hill while holding
Dabao''s and Erbao''s hands, one on each side.
Ning Ran trailed behind them, capturing the scene using her phone.
Dabao and Erbao also cooperated well, positioning themselves well for the photograph. With their
extraordinarily exquisite appearances, they looked good even in a picture taken using a simple device.
“Mommy, hurry up. You can''t even keep up with Great-Grandpa,” Erbao called out in her childish voice.
“Okay,” Ning Ran replied.
After finishing shooting the short video, the staff outside the camera''s view rushed forward to support
Nan Zhengde. “Are you all right?”
“I''m fine. All I did was climb a few steps. What could possibly happen?” he chirped.
Ning Ran reviewed the video meticulously, finding no issues with it.
The video was clearly amateur footage and without any need for post-editing.
“What now? Do we send this to the TV station?” Nan Zhengde asked.
Ning Ran grinned at him in response. “That''s not necessary. Nowadays, the fastest way to spread
information is not through TV stations but through social media. I have tens of millions of followers on
Weibo. If I post this video there, many people will repost it. Their friends will see it and repost it too.
Then, many people willment on the content of the video. There will be positivements but
certainly negative ones as well. Regardless, this video should garner extensive publicity, and the
netizens will form their own opinions based on the content. We don''t need to rify anything.”

Hearing that, Nan Zhengde found the idea quite novel. “Go ahead and post it, then. Afterward, teach
me how to use this application to read thements.”
“Mr. Nan, are you sure I should post the video? Once it''s out, a lot of people may leave derogatory
comments about the content. There''s a group of people on the inte called ''haters.'' No matter what I
share, they''ll always criticize me,” she uttered with a smile.
“I''m not worried. They''ll be criticizing you, not me!” he replied.
Ning Ran was stunned. He has a point! “All right. I''ll post it now.”
News of Nan Zhengde''s terminal illness had already created a sensation on the inte. As Ning Ran
posted a video featuring him and the cameo appearances by the two adorable kids, her post on Weibo
instantly made the trending list.
The number of reposts quickly exceeded ten thousand, with nearly thirty thousandments.
As Ning Ran anticipated, thements were a mix of praises and criticisms, but more attention was
drawn to Dabao and Erbao.
Netizen A wrote: Are they Mi''s children? Someone, help! I can''t stand how cute they are!
Netizen Bmented: Oh my! Where did those little angelse from? I''m in love with them. I''m
going to kidnap them. Don''t stop me!
Netizen C: I''ll let you all in on a secret. Mi and I are the children''s parents!
Netizen D replied: Get lost! They are my kids!
However, only some of the more sophisticatedizens recognized Nan Zhengde.
One of them wrote: Oh? Isn''t that Nanshi Corporation''s chairman, Mr. Nan?
Another replied: That''s right! He''s Mi''s CEO''s grandpa! But wasn''t it rumored online that he was
hospitalized with a terminal illness? How is it possible that he could still go hiking?
Netizen Emented: Isn''t it obvious? The previous rumors were all false! Mi''s CEO is handsome,
and so is his grandpa!
Since the video featured Nan Zhengde, many authoritative media outlets also shared Ning Ran''s
Weibo post.
Those major media outlets didn''t usually share artists'' Weibo posts, but that was a rare exception.
As a result, the news of the major media outlets sharing Ning Ran''s post also made it to the trending
topics.
The rapid development of the event far exceeded Ning Ran and her team''s expectations.
While many people were still skeptical, the majority were convinced that the news about Nan
Zhengde''s terminal illness was fake.
After all, if he was truly terminally ill, would he still be capable of taking his great-grandchildren hiking?
The video demonstrated what it meant by facts spoke louder than words.
Under Dabao''s guidance, Nan Zhengde learned how to read thements on Weibo. Seeing the
netizens praising his good looks, he guffawed in delight. “Quick, look at this. This young man also
complimented my handsomeness!”
Feng Wan snorted derisively. “You should take a look in the mirror to see how old you are now. Do you
think you''re still handsome? Those young people are just ttering you, yet you genuinely believe
you''re an attractive young man?”
Nan Zhengde disagreed, saying, “Does handsomeness has anything to do with age? Can''t you be
good-looking when you''re old? If someone says you''re pretty now, will that also be a lie?”
Feng Wan nced at him. I can''t believe he''s arguing with me. “I''ve always been beautiful. Have you
ever been handsome? You''re getting full of yourself after receiving a fewpliments. One of these
days, I''ll ask Ning Ran to take a photo of me and post it on her Weibo ount too. I''m sure it''ll be more
popr than yours. Look at you gloating. Jeez!”
Dabao and Erbao watched their great-grandparents bickering, enjoying the spectacle. So, even Great-
Grandma and Great-Grandpa will argue with each other? But it doesn''t seem like an argument
because they don''t look angry at all.
“By the way, thesements keep mentioning someone called Mi''s CEO. Who is that? Who''s Mi''s
CEO?” Nan Zhengde asked.
Erbao chuckled.
“Why are youughing? Who exactly is this Mi''s CEO?” Nan Zhengde repeated the question sincerely.
“You''re asking a child. What does she know?” Feng Wan chimed in.
“Of course I know!” Erbao dered proudly.
“Oh? Tell me, then. Who is this Mi''s CEO?”
