Chapter 293 A shoddy team, just there to fill a facade.
Villas on the outskirts of the capital city.
Ning Moran had just come out of the laboratory, and a strong smell of medicine emanated from her.
An ordinary person would definitely vomit on the spot upon smelling this odor, but Ning Moran remained expressionless, completely unfazed.
Just then, her phone vibrated in her pocket. Ning Moran paused slightly, then quickly rushed into the bathroom, washed and dried her hands, and took out her phone in one swift motion.
Unfortunately, the message wasn't sent by Ning Yao, but by Ning Chen.
Ning Moran raised an eyebrow as he looked at Ning Chen's unread message. He really needed to consider whether to add Ning Chen to his "Do Not Disturb" list.
Ning Chen: [[Image][Image][Image]]
Ning Chen: [Should I handle all of these people, or should I give you a few?]
Ning Moran clicked on the picture and saw the company and person-in-chief information of several investors, which puzzled him.
Ning Moran: [???]
After answering Ning Chen's three questions, Ning silently walked towards her bedroom, unbuttoning her shirt with one hand as she went.
Ning Chen: [You didn't know? You don't check your WeChat Moments?]
Ning Chen's message came quickly. Ning Moran took off his shirt, shirtless, and held his phone, still completely confused.
What is Ning Chen really up to? What is this "friends circle" thing?
Ning Moran didn't rush to reply to Ning Chen's message. Instead, she opened her Moments and looked through it carefully.
He was stunned after seeing a post Ning Duoduo made on her WeChat Moments.
The photo shows Ning Yao and Ning Duoduo smiling sweetly, but Ning Yao's complexion looks a little off, with an unnatural flush like she's been drinking, and she seems to be in a state of excitement.
Mom drank alcohol. Who did she drink with? Ning Duoduo?
Besides, what does this post on WeChat Moments have to do with the people in the photos and information Ning Chen sent?
Ning Moran: [Brother, do you think I'm as bored as you, sitting in front of the computer typing all day? I have experiments to do, I don't have time to look at my phone...]
Seemingly realizing that her words were a little too abrupt, Ning Moran added another sentence.
Ning Moran: [Speak plainly, I don't understand what you mean.]
Ning Chen: [You don't care about your mother at all, and yet she loves you so much.]
Ning Moran: [???]
Ning Chen didn't send any more messages, but instead called. Ning Moran answered quickly, without any delay this time.
Ning Chen's tone was particularly displeased: "Didn't you notice that Mom's expression was off in the photos Ning Duoduo posted?"
Ning Moran raised an eyebrow: "I found out, the mother and daughter went out drinking together tonight, what's wrong with that?"
Ning Chen sneered: "Mom didn't go drinking with Ning Duoduo. She was invited to a drinking party by the producer of the film crew she works for. I heard that all the actresses present were required to drink with her."
Ning Moran's voice suddenly rose eight octaves in anger: "What?"
Ning Chen lowered his voice, his tone cold and stern: "Do you still think it's not a big deal?"
Ning Moran: "The person in the picture is the investor who asked my mother to drink with him? Fine, leave it all to me!"
Ning Chen: "Give them all to you? Ha, you wish! I'm still furious and have nowhere to vent. If it weren't for the fact that you're also my son, I would have dealt with them immediately. I'd give you two at most and leave the rest to me."
Ning Chen: "By the way, let's not make this too obvious. Mom has always been very low-key and doesn't want us to get involved."
Although Ning Yao didn't want her sons to get involved, they couldn't just abandon her completely, so they had to act in secret.
Ning Moran narrowed his eyes slightly and replied in a deep voice, "Yes, I know."
Ning Chen: "Hang up."
Ning Moran: "Bye-bye."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Moran's face turned ashen, and his knuckles were taut and white.
He put his phone aside, not even bothering to take a shower, and started searching for information on the two investors.
Ning stared at the company introductions on the computer screen: two biopharmaceutical companies.
He stared intently at the company's assets and investment projects, his lips gradually curving into a handsome smile, a silent sneer playing on his lips.
……
Ning Yao changed into a cheongsam that the production team had tailored for her and stood gracefully in front of the mirror for a while.
The costume designer noticed Ning Yao, the female protagonist, and immediately stared at her.
Ning Yao's legs were straight, her waist was slender, and her curves were perfect. Her figure, with its prominent breasts and buttocks, was considered the golden ratio among women.
The cheongsam was made by a master craftsman of the older generation. It has a moon-white base and is embroidered with beautiful begonia flowers. It is very suitable for unmarried girls to wear. Today, we are going to photograph Su Wanwan in her teenage years.
"You can start applying makeup now."
Ning Yao was led aside by her personal makeup artists.
After sitting down, Ning Yao let the other person style her hair and face. During this time, she kept her eyes closed and did nothing, her mind filled with the lines she would be rehearsing later.
The makeup and styling took no more than half an hour. The makeup artists and stylists her two sons found for her were indeed capable. Not only were they quick and efficient, but their hairstyles and makeup were also extremely suitable for Su Wanwan's age. The director couldn't help but applaud when he saw it.
Ning Yao's hair was styled in a loose, half-tied-up style, with two wisps of hair framing her face, adding a touch of playfulness to her already gentle and graceful demeanor.
Her eyes were naturally bright and clear, a rare kind of pure and untainted gaze.
As people grow up, their eyes gradually become more worldly, and even clouded.
Children only have such clear eyes at a very young age, and Ning Yao still has them, which is truly rare.
Coupled with this youthful cheongsam outfit, Ning Yao is practically the embodiment of Su Wanwan from the script.
However, Ning Yao's grand entrance at Star Trail Entertainment's studio was still too eye-catching.
Despite being a newcomer actor, he was accompanied by a world-class team of makeup artists and stylists.
Sister Lin watched from the sidelines, feeling deeply moved. Anyone in the industry could see that this team of makeup artists was no ordinary person.
More than half of those makeup artists were her idols, big shots she could only see in magazines and on TV, and it's no exaggeration to say they cost thousands of dollars.
One of them, Rola, was even the personal makeup artist of the Queen of Y Country. I heard she recently left her job; apparently, she switched to Luo Xiyao's...
Rola has always been her idol. The moment Lin saw Rola, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
Ahhh, can she go up and ask for an autograph later? I wonder if Luo Xiyao will remember the grudge from that cosmetic allergy incident.
I never imagined I'd be able to see Rola in person so close in China. This is the best I've ever been in!
"Where did they find this shoddy stylist team? It's hilarious. Are they paying actors to put on a show for themselves on set?"
"She doesn't look like a proper stylist at all. Who knows what she really does?"
Upon seeing this, Zhao Peier let out a yelp and rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.
She overheard several actresses around her saying that it was a fake Rola, and that she wasn't a so-called top stylist at all.
Luo Xiyao's status is not as high as anyone else present. Even Zhao Peier has been acting in the industry for more than three years, while Luo Xiyao has only acted in one drama. Her real debut time should be from the beginning of the year, which is less than half a year.
For a junior in the industry to put on such an extravagant show is bound to attract gossip.
Sister Lin is a reserved and tactful person. Normally, she wouldn't do anything after hearing such words. It's better to be quiet and quick-witted than to talk a lot.
But unfortunately, her idol Rola is also in Luo Xiyao's stylist team, and slandering her idol is intolerable!
"That's Rola, the most famous stylist in Y country! Watch your mouth, don't be so blind!" Sister Lin said angrily, speaking rapidly for her idol, her face turning bright red.
Rola's Chinese wasn't very fluent, so she couldn't understand Zhao Peier's words, let alone what Sister Lin was rambling on about.
But she could still understand her own name. When the word "Rola" came out of the other person's mouth, Rola looked over with her calm eyes, which happened to land on her fan, Sister Lin.
She looked away after a short while, ignoring the commotion around her and focusing solely on Boss Ning in front of her.
Lin almost fainted from joy, a voice inside her constantly reminding her: Rola-senpai looked at her just now!
