My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 540 Basic Manners

Seeing that Nan Chen was going ballistic again, Ning Ran tried to appease the situation.

“I didn’t mean to say that you are narrow-minded. If that’s the case, you wouldn’t be where you are today. How could you reach the pinnacle of your career by being conventional, right? I was saying that those who don’t know you would misunderstand your actions and have the perception that you have a parochial attitude toward things and people.”

Luckily, she justified herself in time and managed to calm Nan Chen down.

“I’m not competing with Huang Zichao. How can I possibly do so when he’s not even worth it?” Nan Chen denied it resolutely.

Clapping, Ning Ran assured him, “That’s right! He’s only an actor, whereas you’re his boss. Both of you are clearly not from the same level. There’s no need for you to compare yourself to him. If you do so, people will really think that you’re narrow-minded and lack confidence.”

“Stop saying I lack confidence!” Nan Chen roared as he felt infuriated.

“You’re confident! Relax, I’m just stating an example.” Ning Ran smiled while he remained silent.

Actually, he really took her words to heart, for she was very convincing.

Although Nan Chen was a domineering person who set his sights on big goals, he knew very well that an exceptional leader had to exemplify humility and be willing to listen to advice. To him, that was basic mannerism.

No one was perfect. No matter how brilliant a leader was, he might have moments where he failed to think things through or resolved a matter poorly.

Hence, it was important for the leader to accept other suggestions and alternatives in order to break through his own limitations.

Nan Chen knew that if he ignored the advice, he would bear negative consequences.

All in all, he was not the type who was unreasonable and as stubborn as a mule.

However, his high self-esteem did not allow him to change his mind immediately, even though he was already convinced.

In the end, he chose to be silent, like how he always acted.

Ning Ran knew him like the palm of her hand. She could sense that his stance had already been shaken.
