Treasure Hunt: Tycoon's Priceless Runaway Wife

Chapter 934 - 932: Surpass or Destroy (Third Update)

The photo incident, although Nuonuo wanted to step up and admit it, Da Bao certainly wouldn’t let her do such a foolish thing.Her career is currently in a rapid upward phase, and even a tiny change or the slightest external force could trip her up and cause her to fall hard from a height into a low valley.

Da Bao could never let those possibilities happen. When it comes to her cherished career, Da Bao is unwilling to gamble.

In the end, Da Bao used his connections to have the reports on various websites removed. Although many netizens took screenshots and continued to share them, Si Han’s side maintained their usual stance of neither admitting nor denying anything, essentially not responding at all.

The next day, Luo Qingru’s crew unintentionally released a few behind-the-scenes photos of Si Han in costume, making those who saved and shared the screenshots gradually feel that it was just entertainment reporters fabricating stories. Clearly, Si Han was busy filming on set and had no time to go on a date at a furniture store with a handsome guy.

As a result, a large group of fans flocked to Si Han’s long-unupdated Weibo, leaving messages reminding their Lion King to remember to balance work and rest—to take good care of herself while filming and studying.

Nuonuo was in a gloomy mood for most of the day because she was worried about her brother feeling wronged. However, she’s actually quite a carefree girl, and being busy with filming made her forget all about her gloominess.

As for the few contract offerings that Tian Fang selected, after Da Bao passed them to Nuonuo, he didn’t ask about them again. In the end, Nuonuo chose two ad endorsements and a historical drama.

Tian Fang had no objections to the two advertisements. But choosing this historical drama, what is the meaning of this?

Among the three scripts Tian Fang gave her, one was a youth film, another a business war film, and the third a historical drama.

In Tian Fang’s expectation, Nuonuo’s selection would surely be youth film over business war film over historical drama.

But Nuonuo’s answer was completely unexpected.

"Nuonuo, do you know the age range of the female lead in this historical drama spans forty years? From a teenage girl to a middle-aged woman, the range is bigger than the age gap between you and Mr. Luo. Even such a seasoned veteran as Mr. Luo doesn’t dare to take on such an extreme challenge; what are you thinking? Wouldn’t it be better to do the youth film?"

Lowering her head to eat her homemade love-filled lunch, Nuonuo was unmoved, "No, it wouldn’t."

Tian Fang isn’t someone who gives up easily. Seeing her eating so eagerly, she grabbed her right hand to stop her from eating and started persuading her earnestly when Nuonuo looked up at her.

"Nu, I think the heroine in the youth film is the most similar to you and the easiest to play. With your current state, aiming for the Best Actress award is just a matter of minutes?"

Seeing no signs of temptation in Nuonuo, Tian Fang tried changing direction,

"Alright, if you don’t like the youth film, why not try challenging this business war film? Playing a cool elite woman isn’t bad either, so why insist on that damn historical drama?"

In Tian Fang’s eyes, a youth film is like a vibrant buffet, catering to the public’s tastes and being the favorite of young people today. Business war films are relatively more upscale, akin to a seafood feast, albeit a bit pricey, yet still having their enthusiasts.

The historical drama, however, Tian Fang really didn’t know how to describe it; probably equivalent to a national banquet cuisine, exquisite but limited in supply and not affordable for many.

Moreover, few people appreciate it!

Imagine, for most working people, if you offer them a hamburger for dinner versus a finely plated but single-bite delicacy, which would they choose?

"Sis, I understand your point. Playing a teenage girl is my natural performance, being an elite lady is a challenge, but this historical drama, for me, is a kind of transcendence."

Nuonuo pushed Tian Fang’s hand away and continued eating.

Seeing her unconvinced, Tian Fang pulled a chair over, sat beside her, rested her chin on her hand, and started lecturing endlessly.

"Silly girl, acting in this kind of drama is very hard and exhausting. Not to mention the tongue-twisting lines that require lots of time to memorize and ponder over, just wearing that heavy makeup all day is enough to bear."

"I’m not afraid!" Nuonuo replied decisively.

Tian Fang rolled her eyes secretly. Reasoning didn’t work, so she had to resort to patience.

"And have you thought about this—if you perform well, it’s transcendence. But if you don’t, have you considered that?"

Nuonuo shook her head, "No, I haven’t!"

Once she decides on something, she just goes for it wholeheartedly, never hesitant, knowing opportunities are fleeting. If you are timid, any good opportunity will be snatched by others.

Tian Fang said earnestly, "If you perform well, it’s transcendence; if you don’t, it’s destruction!"

This time Nuonuo finally reacted. She put down her chopsticks, rested her cheek, pondering for a moment. Just when Tian Fang thought she figured it all out, she shrugged her shoulders and smiled nonchalantly, "If it’s destruction then so be it, if that really happens, I won’t regret it; I’ll just pack my things and go home for my brother to take care of me!"

Tian Fang was so frustrated she almost flipped the table over, taking a deep breath, reminding herself not to stoop to the level of a little girl.

"This drama is aloof and indifferent, not many people will appreciate it. Even if you perform well, the box office won’t be high, you know?"

When Tian Fang picked these few contract offers, she had already calculated that when the little girl’s next film becomes a hit, the company will definitely give her a substantial reward. By then, she could buy the villa she has coveted for so long!

But now, seeing this situation, let alone buying the villa back, it’s unsure if she needs to sell her current apartment to pay off the mortgage!

Of course, the Ji Family’s Miss, who doesn’t lack money, would not know the hardships of the common people. Even if Tian Fang reminded her about box office matters with a face full of suffering, she simply nodded lightly.

"I know, but doing well in this kind of drama gives me a greater sense of achievement."

Tian Fang was going crazy! She really wanted to throw the cup in her hand!

Damn it, people become actors and artists to become famous!

To make money!

The artist under her management, whether she becomes famous or not doesn’t matter, nor does the remuneration, the most important thing is to give her a challenge, to surpass herself, to have a sense of achievement.

But this is a challenge and transcendence for Tian Fang as well, only without any sense of accomplishment, instead full of frustration!

After being KO’d by one punch from Nuonuo, Tian Fang lay dejected on the table for a while, then realized she still had an ultimate weapon, perhaps it could make a miraculous turnaround?

"Young lady, does your brother know about you taking on this historical drama?"

Nuonuo shook her head while biting on her chopsticks, "No, I just decided, haven’t had the time to tell him yet!"

Tian Fang seemed to see a great savior, "Then why not ask his opinion before deciding!"

Tian Fang thought, this girl might be naive, but Mr. Ji certainly is not!

"My brother said, I could take whichever I want, it’s entirely up to me to decide!"

Tian Fang was directly dumbfounded!
