Chapter 16
Jiang Mei cried out in regret, "I don't know. He was sold to a human trafficker. How can I know where he was sold to?"
"Human trafficker?!" Jiang Hui wanted to kill Jiang Mei and slapped her hard. "You actually sold my child to human traffickers. How can you be so cruel? Are you a devil? How have I wronged you that you have to take revenge on me like this!"
Jiang Hui's tears streamed down her face, she was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
She couldn't imagine how her child would be abused.
The argument here attracted the attention of passers-by. Some people recognized Jiang Mei and immediately recognized Jiang Hui and Nan Tao Yu Ze. They quickly took out their mobile phones to record the video and posted it online. Some people even live-streamed it, which quickly caused a wave of hot searches on the Internet.
Jiang Mei cried and regretted: "I was wrong, sister, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, this was all your mother-in-law's idea, I was also bewitched."
Jiang Hui completely severed the last bit of affection she had for Jiang Mei, kicked Jiang Mei away, and said coldly, "See you in court."
Nan Tao comforted Jiang Hui: "Good things will happen to good people. The child will be safe and sound."
Jiang Hui smiled palely: "Hope."
Nan Tao was worried that Jiang Hui might get into trouble if she drove by herself in her current state: "Come with us, I'll have the driver take you home."
Jiang Hui shook her head: "It's okay, I just want to be alone."
Nan Tao nodded: "Then drive carefully and pay attention to safety on the road."
After they parted ways, Nan Tao sat in the car and sighed to Yu Ze: "Life is hard."
Yu Ze comforted Nan Tao: "Don't worry, Mommy, I will protect you."
Nan Tao was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She hugged Yu Ze in her arms and said, "Thank you, baby."
The car was speeding on the road.
Nan Tao received a call from her agent Lin Hong and asked the driver to go to Nan Huan instead.
Nanhuan Media is a subsidiary of the Nan Group. It has hundreds of artists under its umbrella and ranks third in the industry. It has produced many famous actors and singers and is an agency that many young artists aspire to.
In addition to Nanhuan Media, the leader of the entire entertainment industry is Tianyu Century Media Co., Ltd., which is under the Yu Group. It has produced actors such as Best Actress, Best Actor, Best TV Queen, and Best Actor, as well as singers such as Superstars and Superstars. Among them, Jiang Hui and Wen Manqing are under Tianyu.
Nan Tao did not go to Tianyu because she felt more comfortable in her own territory and could do whatever she wanted without having to consider other people.
Nanhuan Media is located in Haishi Mingzhu, with an excellent geographical location. It is in the same place as Tianyu Century, but on different floors.
Less than two hundred meters away from Mingzhu Building, at the corner of Tianshan Street, cars were stuck in a long queue.
Nan Tao opened the car window and looked over. "Why is the traffic so congested today? It's already been more than ten minutes."
The driver said, "It seems there are fans cheering up ahead."
Nan Tao is just a supporting actor and rarely comes to the company. This is the second time she has encountered this situation. "Whose fans are they?"
After waiting for another five or six minutes, the car still didn't move.
Nan Tao looked at the bus stop outside the car door and decided to get off and walk over. She said to the driver, "I'll take Yu Ze over there. You just drive to the underground garage and wait for me."
Nan Tao opened the car door and took Yu Ze's hand and got out of the car.
The migrant workers passing by were attracted by Nan Tao and her son. They looked at them and whispered in admiration. Some people who had watched the live broadcast in the afternoon recognized Nan Tao and walked up to her to ask for her autograph.
Nan Tao signed with a smile and quickly took Yu Ze away.
The entrance to the Pearl Building was crowded with young people holding cheering signs, waving them and shouting, "Pearl Pearl, I love you, you're the best, keep going!!! We will always be your strongest backing!"
There was a person surrounded by a group of fans. There were so many people around him that it was difficult to see who he was.
Nan Tao stood on tiptoe and looked out.
I don’t know her, but she looks very innocent. Her eyes and eyebrows are full of innocence. She greets fans with a simple smile, just like a friendly girl next door.
Yu Ze was a little curious: "Mommy, who is it?"
Nan Tao raised her eyebrows: "Do you want Mommy to pick you up and let me see?"
Yu Ze said coldly: "I'm not interested. I'm a big boy."
Nan Tao burst out laughing, took Yu Ze by the hand, and walked in through the side door. As they walked, she said to Yu Ze, "Son, if you chase stars in the future, you must be rational. We are all civilized people. Chasing stars rationally can avoid ruining our reputation and heartbreak."
Yu Ze didn't quite understand, but he understood one thing and said coldly: "I'm not a fan."
The two took the elevator to the 18th floor and went straight to Lin Hong's office.
Lin Hong greeted him with a smile: "If you don't come soon, the company will almost run out of people like you."
Nan Tao took off her sunglasses and shrugged nonchalantly, "Whatever."
Yu Ze: "Aunt Hong."
Lin Hong responded and touched Yu Ze's head, "Xiao Ze has become handsome again."
As he spoke, he walked back to the table and picked up the prepared contract: "This is a parent-child advertising endorsement for a high-end fashion brand. You can decide whether to take it. In my personal opinion, it is quite suitable for you and Xiaoze."
Nan Tao lazily nestled on the sofa, chatting casually, "Just now, there was another fan blocking the artist downstairs. Do you know her name, Pearl?"
Lin Hong said: "It's her."
Nan Tao asked, "Who is it?"
Lin Hong smiled and said, "She just signed with the company last year. Her name is Lou Zhen. The entertainment industry is changing very quickly, with new talent coming one after another. You don't come to the company often, so it's no wonder you don't know her. She released a youth film this year, which became a minor hit and attracted many student fans. If she has enough resources, she can still move up and become a third-tier star."
Nan Tao smelled gossip and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Hong is a seasoned agent, and many news in the industry are known to her. "You know who has a godfather behind them."
Nan Tao: "I think she is quite pure, she doesn't look like that."
Lin Hong said, "It's all about establishing a persona. How can she attract fans if she's not pure? Do you know who her godfather is?"
Nan Tao asked curiously, "Who is it? Tell me now, don't keep me in suspense."
Lin Hong said, "It's Mr. Feng Kai. Mr. Feng Kai is not someone you can easily get close to. If he doesn't have some scheming and tricks, this old fox won't be easily seduced. Did you know that the youth film that she made a small splash in was the one where Mr. Feng Kai was forced in as the female lead, squeezing out the original female lead."
Nan Tao: "Feng Kai, I know him. My mom and his wife were poker buddies and they often got together."
Lin Hong said, "Lou Zhen relies on Mr. Feng Kai's backing to act so arrogantly in the company. He's so proud and arrogant that he even tried to snatch the advertising endorsement I picked for you. He didn't even consider whether I was a pushover or not. He's really getting ahead of himself."
Nan Tao shook the contract in her hand: "This? Tsk, I didn't succeed in grabbing it."
Lin Hong said, "You're still regretting it. This woman is very petty. Last time, a male artist who just came in accidentally spilled water on her shoes, and she asked someone to squat down and wipe it clean with a tissue."
Nan Tao: "Can you bear this? Are you going to do it?"
Lin Hong rolled her eyes. "Do you think everyone is like you? A newcomer with no background has to be careful at every turn. If Lou Zhen whispers something in his ear, how can this newcomer ever succeed?"
Nan Tao: "Isn't she afraid of the backlash from doing too many immoral things?"
Lin Hong: "Who knows? Let's not talk about her. Are you going to sign the contract?"
Nan Tao flipped it over a few times and said, "Okay."
Lin Hong handed the pen to Nan Tao.
Nan Tao quickly signed her name in a flamboyant style.
Afterwards, Nan Tao chatted with Lin Hong about a lot of gossip about the company's artists. Perhaps because she ate too much hot and cold food at noon, her stomach ached a little, so she said to Yu Ze, "Be good and stay here with Aunt Hong. Don't run around. Mommy's going to the bathroom."
Lin Hong said: "Go ahead, I'll watch."
Nan Tao went to the bathroom and opened the innermost door and went in.
Not long after, two or three more people came in, talking loudly and chattering, which seemed to echo loudly in the empty bathroom.
"Sister Lou Zhen, your makeup is so beautiful today."
"Sister Lou is beautiful, and she looks good in any makeup."
"Sister Lou, don't be angry. That Nan Tao is just lucky."
"You're bringing up something that's not relevant to the topic. You've upset Sister Lou again."
Nan Tao pricked up her ears when she heard her name.
Lou Zhen: "I originally participated in the "Mom Takes Care of Baby" program as a trainee mom, but who knew someone would show up midway? It really pissed me off. She also snatched away the parent-child endorsement this time. She's definitely going against me, isn't she?"
"Sister Lou, don't be angry. I don't think she can be so arrogant."
Lou Zhen: "Who is this Nan Tao? Do you know?"
"Sister Lou, you came earlier than us. How could we know if you don't know?"
Lou Zhen complained, "I haven't seen this person since I joined the company. I guess he's a nobody. If he hadn't been lucky enough to be favored by Lin Hong, how could he have the nerve to go against me at every turn? It's all Lin Hong's fault. She stole these two great opportunities that could have allowed me to move up the ladder."
"Sister Lou, you can try to persuade Mr. Feng to help you."
Lou Zhen was furious. Did they think that she hadn't contacted Mr. Feng? Mr. Feng said that there was someone behind Lin Hong and he couldn't touch her. Otherwise, she would have suffered these two losses in succession without saying anything. It was all her fault that her agent was incompetent and couldn't compete with Lin Hong.
"Sister Lou, they're calling us, let's go out quickly."
Lou Zhen: "You guys go out first, I'll touch up my makeup."
Nan Tao's legs were sore from squatting, but Lou Zhen still didn't leave.
Just as I was about to push the door open and leave, I heard my cell phone ringing. I was startled and took out my phone, but the screen was black. It wasn't my number.
"Hey, cousin Rongya, you're looking for me."
"You mean that high-end dinner party tomorrow night?"
"Do you think I don't want to go? I heard there are a lot of bosses and famous directors there, and I can't go without an invitation."
"You'll give me the invitation?"
"Oh my god, thank you so much cousin, you are the dearest sister to me."
Nan Tao frowned. Rong Ya was Lou Zhen's cousin? They actually had such a relationship.
After Lou Zhen left, Nan Tao stood up with numb legs, and held on to the door frame for a long time before she recovered. She moved slowly back to Lin Hong's office like a snail.
"I thought you were in the bathroom and wouldn't come out so I was about to get you out."
Nan Tao had an indescribable expression: "I just heard some gossip in the bathroom."
Lin Hong's eyes lit up: "The bathroom is a good place, tell me about it?"
Nan Tao asked, "Is Lou Zhen the person who was originally chosen to take care of the baby in the last group?"
Lin Hong: "This is outdated, and you only know it now?"
Nan Tao: “No one told me.”
Lin Hong: "Did you hear that in the bathroom just now? Who said that?"
Nan Tao: "The real boss is so jealous of me that he calls you a bitch."
Lin Hong's face suddenly darkened: "Humph, relying on your looks, you don't know who you are."
Nan Tao smiled and put her arm around Lin Hong's shoulders: "She and Rong Ya are cousins."
Lin Hong raised an eyebrow: "Rong Ya? The little star that Tianyu Century has recently promoted?"
Nan Tao: "I don't know about that."
Lin Hong: "Then how do you know her?"
Nan Tao said, "There was a festival N years ago."
Lin Hong: "Then you two have known each other for a long time."
Nan Tao: "When I was in high school."
Lin Hong: "I heard that Rong Ya is a highly educated goddess. Recently, Tianyu has been developing this image, establishing an intellectual goddess persona and attracting many male fans."
Nan Tao: "Her academic performance is really good."
Lin Hong saw the time and said, "I have to go to a meeting. I won't chat with you anymore."
Nan Tao: "I guess it's getting dark outside, so I'll go home too."
Lin Hong left the office in a hurry with a look of envy and jealousy.
Nan Tao closed the door and led Yu Ze towards the elevator, saying, "How about we go to grandma's house today? I haven't seen her in a few days."
Yu Ze nodded: "I miss grandma too."
While waiting for the elevator, Nan Tao called her mother.
Just after hanging up the phone, the elevator door opened and Lou Zhen was standing inside.
Nan Tao raised her eyebrows, what a narrow road for enemies to cross.
When Yu Ze saw Lou Zhen, his eyes lit up.
[Tongtong, is this the Lou Zhen you are talking about?]
[Lou Zhen and Feng Kai are together, and they are also supporting Feng Kai's daughter and living together?
Lou Zhen didn't know that the other person was Feng Kai's daughter?
