Chapter 828

The shooting of the reality show had officially begun.

On television, reality shows always showed how much fun the celebrities had on the program. Everyone was always

smiling and laughing, giving the viewers the impression that the atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

However, Ning Ran soon found out how difficult it was to shoot a reality show once the camera started rolling.

There were numerous cameras at all angles as the film crew followed the celebrities around. Every celebrity would

eventually expose their weaknesses and shortcomings by accident.

Everyone had their fair share of flaws, including celebrities. After all, they were human too, not divine beings.

Moreover, the old town was huge. Ning Ran and the others ran around the ancient buildings at a high speed as they

tried to complete the tasks of the program according to the clues that they were given. Not only were they

challenged physically, but they were tested in their problem-solving skills as well.

Before the first round of tasks was completed, Ning Ran could already feel the heaviness in her legs. Unable to run

anymore, she took a short breather.

At that moment, the phone in her bag started vibrating.

According to the rules of the contract, the stars had to hand over their phones to their assistants during the shoot.

They were not allowed to pick up their phones in front of the cameras.

The reason being the sponsor of the show was a phone brand. If the celebrities took out phones of different brands

in the show, it would negatively impact the profitability of the sponsoring brand.

However, Ning Ran had genuinely forgotten to hand her phone over to Cheng Xiangyun.

Turning around, Ning Ran took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID. It was a call from Erbao.

All of a sudden, Ning Ran remembered that Nan Chen had mentioned earlier in the morning that he would be

occupied in the afternoon and would not be able to pick the kids up from school.

When she saw that Erbao was calling her, she began to wonder if Nan Chen had forgotten about the kids and had

left them in school.

Anxiety rose to her heart, causing her to pick up the phone and not care about the repercussions she would face.

“Mommy, where are you? It's pouring. No one has come to pick us up.” Erbao sounded as though she was on the

verge of tears.

Ning Ran's heart was shattered into pieces when she heard Erbao's tearful voice. Nan Chen really did neglect the

kids over some woman!

“Mommy's working right now. Hold on, Darling. I'll contact Mr. Qiao and ask him to pick you guys up immediately,”

Ning Ran reassured her daughter, panicked and heartbroken.

As Ning Ran spoke, her eyes turned red and welled up with tears.

“Okay. When are you coming back, Mommy? I miss you.”

When Ning Ran heard that, she felt even worse. “I'll be back soon. I'll go back immediately after work. Be a good

girl, okay? I'll hang up now and call Mr. Qiao at once.”

Just then, one of the crew members approached and tried to stop her. “Sorry, Ms. Ding. You're not allowed to use

any other phone brands during shooting.”

“My daughter is stuck in school with no one to pick her up! I'm arranging transport for her this instant. It's raining

cats and dogs for love's sake!” Ning Ran snapped in an unfriendly tone. She was consumed by her worry.

At that moment, the call connected. “Hello, Madam. How may I help you?”

“Erbao called me saying that no one has picked them up from school. Can you head over there to pick them up?”

Ning Ran tried her best to keep herself from yelling in anger.

“I apologize for the trouble, Madam. I've already reached the school entrance. It's raining heavily in Flower City and

traffic is quite slow on the road. I've been stuck in a jam for some time, which is why I'm late. I'll explain everything

to Erbao and Dabao. I truly am sorry,” explained Qiao Zhan.

Ning Ran breathed out a sigh of relief when she heard that Qiao Zhan had arrived at the school.

“Sorry for troubling you. I have to get back to work. I'll leave it to you, then.”

“It's no trouble, Madam. It's me who's running a little late. So sorry for that.”

Before she could hang up, Ning Ran's phone started beeping as she received another call.

It took her only one glance to recognize the number as Nan Chen's.

Ning Ran immediately rejected Nan Chen's call, not wanting to answer.

After hanging up the call with Qiao Zhan, Ning Ran proceeded to ignore the subsequent calls from Nan Chen.

Nan Chen had not gone to the airport as he said he would. He had just gotten out of an important meeting when he

received a call from Dabao saying that no one picked them up from school.

After a phone call, he found out that Qiao Zhan was caught in a jam.

Nan Chen figured that Erbao would call Ning Ran regarding the situation, which in turn would lead to Ning Ran

panicking and blaming him for neglecting the kids. He wanted to give Ning Ran a call to explain. Unexpectedly, Ning

Ran did not even pick up.

After five or six failed attempts in contacting Ning Ran, the wrath in Nan Chen's heart flared up, causing him to hurl

his phone at the wall.

Jiang Zhe was standing at the side, When he saw Nan Chen's reaction, he stiffened slightly. Oh, no. Mr. Chen's

beginning to smash phones again.

Previously when he was young, Nan Chen had a terrible habit of throwing his phone in anger. There were days

when he would destroy multiple phones in one day. Every time Jiang Zhe bought Nan Chen a new phone, he would

buy ten of the same model and color. That way, he would just transfer the SD card to another phone if Nan Chen

had smashed one.

Thankfully, ever since Ning Ran and the two children appeared in his life, Nan Chen no longer smashed his phone as

frequently as he used to.

In fact, he had not destroyed any phones in the past few months. The phones that Jiang Zhe had prepared as

backup had already fallen out of trend. Yet, not a single one of them had been touched.

Seeing that Nan Chen had smashed his phone again out of the blue, Jiang Zhe ran over to pick up the broken parts

of the phone out of habit and was prepared to give Nan Chen a new phone.

Alas, Nan Chen's anger had not diminished. He glared at Jiang Zhe and asked, “Why are you picking it up?”

Jiang Zhe froze in bewilderment. The phone is smashed. Surely someone would have to pick it up eventually? Isn't

that how things always play out? You throw the phone; I pick it up. If I don't pick it up, would you?

“The screen's broken. I'll change a new one for you,” Jiang Zhe answered softly.

“Do you think I'm in the wrong too?” Nan Chen asked coldly.

“No. You're right to throw the phone,” Jiang Zhe said against his true opinion.

To his horror, Nan Chen was even more furious. “I'm right to throw the phone, huh? Take out your phone!”

Not daring to go against Nan Chen's orders, Jiang Zhe could only take out his phone and place it on the table.

Without a word, Nan Chen picked up Jiang Zhe's phone and flung it across the room with all his might.

Jiang Zhe held his breath as he pressed his lips shut, not daring to even make a peep.

“The other one, too!” Nan Chen knew that Jiang Zhe had two phones.

“Mr. Chen, please calm down...” Jiang Zhe advised.

“The other one!”

Jiang Zhe reluctantly took out his other phone as well. It was a new model that he had just bought two days ago.

As expected, Nan Chen picked that phone up and smashed it without hesitation. Jiang Zhe felt his heart being torn

in two as he grieved the loss of his new phone.

“Tell me, why isn't she picking up my calls?” Nan Chen's fury was not relieved even after he smashed the phones.

He turned to Jiang Zhe and began interrogating the poor assistant.

Jiang Zhe was about to lose his mind. Shit. How do I answer a question like this? How am I supposed to know what

happened between the two of you? How would I know the reason she refused to pick up your calls?

Not only that, he could not ask Nan Chen to tell him what had happened even if he were to try to figure out the

problem. Nan Chen would definitely not explain anything.

“Was I wrong for caring for the company and getting busy with work?”

Jiang Zhe was glad that Nan Chen had finally asked him a question that he could answer.

“Of course not. With greater power comes greater responsibility. You're carrying the heavy duty of developing

Nanshi Corporation. Of course you should work hard,” Jiang Zhe said cautiously.

“Then why is she ignoring me?” Nan Chen thundered.

Jiang Zhe thought about it for a moment before coming up with what he thought was a smart answer. “Ms. Ning

just wants you to spend more time spoiling her and just being with her. That's why she would occasionally throw a

tantrum. She's not actually mad at you.”

When Nan Chen heard that, he fell silent for a few seconds before retorting, “You're not her, so how would you

know?”

Jiang Zhe was dumbfounded. That's right. I'm not her. How would I know? But I'm not her, so why are you asking

me? Life is hard!

“Go! Go immediately to the town where they're shooting the program and see what she's doing. I want to know why

on earth is she not answering my calls!” Nan Chen commanded.
