Daddy CEO's Beloved Wife

As soon as Director Xiao was done speaking to the show's director, he made them follow them to meet Moonlight entertainment's chief director, Fan Ning.

While they were on their way to the floor where Fan Ning was, Director Xiao couldn't help but praise her and her works to Ran Xueyi and Adelle.

Director Xiao: "Fan Ning is five years older than you. I think the two of you can hit it off quickly for as long as you don't go over the line with her! She's a bit more strict in choosing her artists than me so you can rest assured that nothing like Steffanie could ever happen when you work with her."

Adelle thought that it was great if Fan Ning was not like other directors who couldn't refuse investors and sponsors of the films. In this way,  Ran Xueyi would not have to be bullied by anyone!

Ran Xueyi, however, was very relaxed and indifferent when she heard Director Xiao's words.

In the years she had been living as an actress in this industry, she'd heard and seen many directors who were renowned for being strict and disciplined; they were even overly praised for being honest and righteous when they pick the actors and actresses in their films. But in truth, no one can really refuse in the face of money and opportunities.

The directors who said to never accept any actors and actresses with backings still bend their backs, and quietly and secretly let them in their films in the end.

Of course, Ran Xueyi won't blame them for that. Every human fights for themselves. They are selfish in nature just as she was selfish enough to pursue her dreams rather than be an ordinary housewife taking care of her husband and child.

The directors are only making sure that they could live and their films could survive. Was it so hard to understand?

Soon, the group left the elevator when they reached their floor. An assistant was waiting for them to arrive and he directly led them to Director Fan Ning's office.

,m "The director is still on a call with the vice president. Please wait here outside for a little bit longer," the assistant told them before asking them if they wanted anything while waiting.

Director Xiao was thirsty after talking so much with the show's director and asked for water. Adelle wanted a glass of juice, while on the other hand, Ran Xueyi gestured that she did not want anything.

After getting something to satisfy their thirst, the door to the office opened, and a tall, pretty woman poked her head out.

"Oh, you're here, Director Xiao! Come in, come in, All of you should come in." Fan Ning opened her office wide to let them inside while being apologetic for letting them wait, "It was my bad. I had you wait ten minutes later from our scheduled meeting."

Director Xiao shook his head: "It's alright, we didn't wait too long and your assistant gave us delicious drinks while waiting."

"Then, I have to pay my assistant a bonus for taking care of my senior," Fan Ning joked around with Director Xiao a for a little while before turning her attention to Ran Xueyi. She had a surprised expression on her face as she said, "And you are Miss Ran Xueyi. I've heard what happened between you and Steffanie. You did well to put her where she belongs."

Director Fan remembered a few months ago that Steffanie tried to enter into one of her films. She ruthlessly rejected her and got a call from Mr. Chang the very next day. It was a ridiculous event in her life. The daughter did not get what she wanted and went to her daddy to complain then, daddy threatened her to have her blacklisted.

After Fan Ning talked about her past encounter with Steffanie, she finally went to talk about business. "Director Xiao is here to ask me if I have any resources for Ran Xueyi, right?"

Director Xiao was slightly embarrassed to admit but still, he nodded: "That's right. She's a good tree that is already growing. I thought you could use her to your next film."

"And what do you think about this, Miss Ran?"

Ran Xueyi thought for a bit and said, "Actually, before coming here, I read the script that Director Xiao handed to me. After reading it, I couldn't sleep without thinking about what will happen next to the characters. So, in the end, I finished reading the script in just a day."

This was the highest degree of praise a director and scriptwriter could get. Naturally, Fan Ning felt good when she heard this coming from Ran Xueyi.

However, she knew that there were too many pretentious people in the acting industry so she decided to test out Ran Xueyi.

"Oh, really? What part did you like in the script?" Fan Ning wanted to see if Ran Xueyi was all talk and lied to her.

Ran Xueyi knew Fan Ning's intention, but she was prepared and hadn't lied to her at all. She said, "There are too many scenes that I could say I like as well... But the scene where Lu Ningning met her brother after he went to the army made my heart move. The separation of the siblings was too painful to read and it was also filled with misunderstanding."

"Unfortunately, the older brother didn't hear the truth because he died. Lu Ningning's regret after what happened was too painful to look at. I imagined the hurt she was feeling and thought she might have not really forgiven herself even after she married Ren Yunxi and still wanted to punish herself for what happened to her brother."

"That part made me think that she was extremely pitiful and devoted. But unfortunately, it was too late for her to regret the things she said to her brother..."

'pat'

Ran Xueyi stared at Fan Ning in surprise.

The director who was sitting before her had her eyes streaming with tears after tears. It looked like there was no stopping it.

Fan Ning became embarrassed by her sudden reaction and wiped her tears. But the more she wiped it away, the more it dripped down her face.

"Sorry, I couldn't stop crying. Can we continue this conversation next time?" Fan Ning felt awkward. She was the one who wanted to test Ran Xueyi, but look at her, she's tearing up too much.
