Chapter 16
Jiang Mei cried in regret, "I don't know. I sold him to a trafficker. How can I know where he was sold to?"
"Human trafficker?!" Jiang Hui wanted to kill Jiang Mei so much that she slapped her hard. "You actually sold my child to a human trafficker. How could you be so cruel? Is this what the devil did? How have I wronged you that you have to take revenge on me like this!"
Jiang Hui burst into tears and was so heartbroken that she couldn't breathe.
She couldn't imagine how her children would be abused.
The debate 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 deceived."
Jiang Hui completely cut off 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 come to those who are lucky. 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: "You can come with us. I'll ask the driver to 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 the two parted, 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 told the driver to go to Nan Huan instead.
Nan Huan 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 small artists aspire to work for.
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 Queen and King of Pop. Among them, Jiang Hui and Wen Manqing are under Tianyu.
Nan Tao did not go to Tianyu because he felt more free at his own place and could do whatever he 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 200 meters away from the Pearl Building, at the corner of Tianshan Street, there was a long queue of cars.
Nan Tao opened the car window and looked over. "Why is the traffic so congested today? It's been more than ten minutes."
The driver said, "It seems there are fans cheering in front."
Nan Tao is just a soy sauce artist and rarely comes to the company. This is the second time she has encountered such a situation. "Whose fan is this again?"
After waiting for another five or six minutes, the car still didn't move.
Nan Tao looked at the bus stop outside the 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 helped Yu Ze get out of the car.
The migrant workers passing by were attracted by Nan Tao and her son. They looked at them and whispered their praises. 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 of the Pearl Tower was crowded with young people holding cheering signs, waving them and shouting, "Pearl Pearl, I love you, you are the best, keep going!!! We will always be your strongest backers!"
There was a person surrounded by a group of fans. There were so many people surrounding him that it was hard to tell who he was.
Nan Tao stood on tiptoe and looked out.
I don’t know her. She looks very innocent. Her eyes and eyebrows are full of innocence. She greeted her 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 now."
Nan Tao chuckled, took Yu Ze's hand, and went 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 your reputation and preventing heartbreak."
Yu Ze didn't quite understand, but he understood a little bit, and said coldly: "I don't chase stars."
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 again, the company will soon be 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. See if you want to take it. In my personal opinion, it's quite suitable for you and Xiaoze."
Nan Tao lazily nestled on the sofa and chatted casually: "Just now there was another fan crowd downstairs, her name is Pearl, do you know her?"
Lin Hong said: "It's her."
Nan Tao asked, "Who is it?"
Lin Hong smiled and said, "The one who just signed with the company last year is called Lou Zhen. The entertainment industry is changing very quickly, with one generation after another. You don't come to the company often, so it's no wonder that you don't know her. She released a youth movie this year, which was a small hit and attracted many student fans. If there is no problem with resources, she can move up and become a third-tier star."
Nan Tao smelled gossip and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Hong is a veteran in the brokerage industry, and many news in the industry cannot be hidden from her ears. "You know that there are fathers behind people."
Nan Tao: "I think she is quite pure, not like that."
Lin Hong said: "It's all about establishing a persona. If it's not pure, how can she attract fans? Do you know who her godfather is?"
Nan Tao asked curiously, "Who is it? Tell me now, don't keep us in suspense."
Lin Hong said, "It's General Feng Kai. General Feng Kai is not easy to get close to. If he doesn't have some tricks, this old fox won't be easily hooked up. Do you know that the youth film that she made a small hit in was the one where General Feng Kai was squeezed in as the heroine, squeezing out the original heroine."
Nan Tao: "Feng Kai, I know him. My mother and his wife are poker friends and they often get together."
Lin Hong said, "Lou Zhen relies on President Feng Kai to be so arrogant in the company. She even wants to snatch the advertising endorsement I picked for you. She doesn't even consider whether I am a pushover or not. She is really taking advantage of me."
Nan Tao shook the contract in her hand: "This one? Tsk, I didn't succeed in getting it."
Lin Hong said, "You still regret 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: "How can you bear this? Are you ready to do it?"
Lin Hong rolled her eyes: "Do you think everyone is like you? A newcomer has no background, so he has to be careful everywhere. If Lou Zhen whispers something in his ear, how can this newcomer ever succeed?"
Nan Tao: "Isn't she afraid of backlash if she does too many immoral things?"
Lin Hong: "Who knows? Let's not talk about her. Have you signed the contract?"
Nan Tao flipped through it a few times and said, "Okay."
Lin Hong handed the pen to Nan Tao.
Nan Tao quickly signed her name Long Fei Feng Wu.
Afterwards, Nan Tao chatted with Lin Hong about a lot of gossip about the artists in the company. Maybe it was because she ate too much hot and cold food at noon, but her stomach hurt a little, so she said to Yu Ze, "Be good and stay here with Aunt Hong. Don't run around. Mommy is going to the bathroom."
Lin Hong said: "Go ahead, I'll watch."
Nan Tao went to the bathroom, opened the innermost door and went in.
Not long after, two or three more people came in, talking loudly and chattering, which sounded particularly echoing in the empty bathroom.
"Sister Louzhen, your makeup looks so beautiful today."
"Sister Lou is beautiful, and she looks good in any makeup."
"Don't be angry, Miss Luo. That Nan Tao is just lucky."
"You're making trouble by bringing up that pot. You've upset Sister Lou again."
Nan Tao pricked up her ears when she heard her name.
Lou Zhen: "I originally joined the Mommy Babysitting program as an intern mother, but who knew that someone like Cheng Yaojin would show up halfway through. I was so pissed off. This time, she also snatched away the parent-child endorsement. She was deliberately going against me, wasn't she?"
"Sister Lou, don't be angry. She won't be able to act recklessly even if you forgive her."
Lou Zhen: "Who is this Nan Tao? Do you know?"
"Sister Lou, you came earlier than us. How can we know if you don't know?"
Lou Zhen complained: "I haven't seen this person since I joined the company. I guess he is a nobody. If he wasn't lucky enough to be favored by Lin Hong, he wouldn't have the guts to go against me everywhere. It's all Lin Hong's fault. These two good opportunities that could have allowed me to move up were snatched away by her."
"Sister Lou, you can try to persuade Mr. Feng to help you."
Louzhen was angry. Did they think that she hadn't looked for President Feng? President Feng said that there was someone behind Lin Hong and he couldn't touch her. Otherwise, he would have to suffer these two losses in succession and keep silent. It was all because his agent was incompetent and couldn't compete with Lin Hong.
"Sister Lou, they are calling us, let's go out quickly."
Louzhen: "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 go out.
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 the high-end dinner tomorrow night?"
"Do you think I don't want to go? I heard there are many CEOs 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 my dearest sister."
Nan Tao frowned. Rong Ya is Lou Zhen's cousin? They actually have this kind of relationship.
After Lou Zhen left, Nan Tao stood up with numb legs, held on to the door frame for a long time before she recovered, and slowly moved back to Lin Hong's office like a snail.
"I thought you were stuck in the bathroom and was about to pick you up."
Nan Tao had an expression that was hard to describe: "I just heard some gossip in the toilet."
Lin Hong's eyes lit up: "The bathroom is a good place, tell me about it?"
Nan Tao asked: "The original candidate for the last group of moms to take care of the baby was Lou Zhen?"
Lin Hong: "This is outdated, why do 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 jerk."
Lin Hong's face suddenly darkened: "Humph, you rely on your looks to forget who you are."
Nan Tao smiled and put her arm around Lin Hong's shoulders: "She and Rong Ya are cousins."
Lin Hong raised her eyebrows: "Rong Ya? The little star that Tianyushiji has recently picked up?"
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 working towards this goal, 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 don't want to chat with you anymore."
Nan Tao: "It's probably 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 Louzhen was standing inside.
Nan Tao raised her eyebrows, it was really a narrow road for enemies to meet.
When Yu Ze saw Lou Zhen, his eyes lit up.
[Tongtong, is this the Louzhen you are talking about? ]
[Lou Zhen and Feng Kai are together, and they are also supporting Feng Kai's daughter and living together?
【Louzhen doesn't know that the other person is Feng Kai's daughter?】
