My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 874 Not Up To Them

Despite knowing how hard it could be to explain the situation to Nan Zhengde, Nan Chen had to give it a try.

“I heard about it.” Nan Chen first expressed his stance, implying that he and Ning Ran were both responsible for what was happening.

Nan Zhengde caught Nan Chen's hint and kept mum.

Although there was only a slight hint of displeasure in Nan Zhengde's gaze, Nan Chen noticed it.

“Grandpa, Ning Ran is a celebrity. You might not pay much attention to the current environment within the entertainment industry, but the culture is now different. Nowadays, all celebrities are under great scrutiny, and their private lives are for everyone to see. As soon as the fans spot a celebrity's flaws, they would criticize her publicly. Ning Ran, however, doesn't have a flaw because she's a decent and honorable celebrity. The ones criticizing her are mostly the younger fans who aren't capable of reasoning. Frankly, no one should take their words seriously. Ning Ran did nothing wrong, and her occupation alone is making her a victim of cyberbullying,” Nan Chen explained the best way he knew how, but he realized it was a tough task. One has to be personally involved in it to understand it thoroughly.

Nanshi Corporation owned entertainment companies, and Nan Chen was running the business. Hence, he understood what was the norm in the entertainment industry. Meanwhile, Nan Zhengde retired long ago, so he wouldn't understand what Nan Chen was trying to say.

“Based on what you just said, is it safe to assume that she's definitely a victim? Are all those criticisms online uncalled for? Why must those fans target her?” Nan Zhengde argued.

Hearing that, Nan Chen had no choice but to further explain, “Well, she's not necessarily a victim per se, but that's just part and parcel of being a celebrity. A valued celebrity needs to be influential, and with influence, comes publicity. When the celebrity has positive publicity, she'll reap the rewards. When negative publicity comes knocking, however, she'll get criticized. Ultimately, Ning Ran needs publicity to make money because she's a celebrity. Thus, she's not entirely a victim in this case.”

Nan Zhengde seemed to have a grasp of the situation at hand. After all, he was the founder of the business empire, and he was by no means an old and ordinary stubborn man. “So, are you saying that what's happening to her is bound to happen to all the famous celebrities?”

Seeing that Nan Zhengde was understanding the situation better, Nan Chen nodded.

“In that case, no one would criticize her anymore if she were to quit the entertainment industry, right?” Nan Zhengde asked.

Nan Chen was rendered speechless after hearing that. After all that, we're back to getting Ning Ran to quit the entertainment industry.

“Yes,” Nan Chen answered.

“Tell her to quit, then. I don't want Nanshi Corporation to get criticized because of her again. When that happens, that gives the other members of the Nan family the opportunity to stir the pot,” Nan Zhengde urged.

Nan Chen had similar discussions with Nan Zhengde before, but they were once again returning to the subject of Ning Ran's preference to be financially independent.

Nan Chen didn't want to refute, so he nodded and said, “I'll talk to Ning Ran about it. Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll settle the issue.”
