The next day, Wang Xiaoou informed Ning Ran that the proposal for them to walk the red carpet had been
canceled.
It didn't come 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 the company cancel it?”
“They only canceled the plan 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 accompany you to do the same,” Wang
Xiaoou elaborated 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 available?”
“In that case, who is it?” Ning Ran's curiosity was piqued.
“As a newcomer, attending the event with another star isn't going to make a splash. Since you have decided to go,
we intend to shock the world. Therefore, the company has contacted Ye Meng's agent to get her to walk the red
carpet with you.”
Ning Ran exclaimed 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 popular 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 fans
compliment 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 explanation, Ning Ran agreed that she would benefit from the plan.
“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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttries 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 elaborated.
“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 newcomers 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 her company not agree to it?”
Ning Ran gave her a thumbs up. “Ou, you're amazing! Given how complex this is, I wouldn't have understood it
without your explanation.”
“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 popular 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 exclaimed.
“Blondie?” It was Wang Xiaoou's turn to be baffled.
“Haha, I meant Zheng Lunlun. He used to be blond last time,” Ning Ran explained with a smile.
“Are both of you close?”
“You can say that. We used to play together last time. Now that we're busy, we no longer have time to do that,”
Ning Ran casually replied.
“Play together?” Wang Xiaoou was shocked.
“Yes, we play games together because he loves them. That's why he gets me to play 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 popular. 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
clualass.
“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

Ning Ran gava har a thumbs up. “Ou, you'ra amazing! Givan how complax this is, I wouldn't hava undarstood it
without your axplanation.”
“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 popular 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 with you,”
Wang Xiaoou answarad.
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 a lasson whan I saa
him!” Ning Ran axclaimad.
“Blondia?” It was Wang Xiaoou's turn to ba bafflad.
“Haha, I maant Zhang Lunlun. Ha usad to ba blond last tima,” Ning Ran axplainad with a smila.
“Ara both of you closa?”
“You can say that. Wa usad to play togathar last tima. Now that wa'ra busy, wa no longar hava tima to do that,”
Ning Ran casually rapliad.
“Play togathar?” Wang Xiaoou was shockad.
“Yas, wa play gamas togathar bacausa ha lovas tham. That's why ha gats ma to play 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 popular. Whan ha struts down tha rad carpat with you on his arm in front of all thosa raportars, both of
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmyou 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 become 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 the company. 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 the company. 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 to come 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 flamboyantly
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. Nonetheless, 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.”
