My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 883 What Should Be Given

Ning Ran suddenly felt dejected. She always thought that Dabao and Erbao had much more advantages in life than others as children of the Nan family, but now, she realized that, sometimes, their advantages were disadvantages. They could not even join competitions carefreely like the other children.

They were just young children, but unfortunately, they were already wrapped up in the complications of the adult world.

Yet, Nan Chen was right. There would be more cons than pros if they were to join the competition.

The children had a long way to go in life. Nan Chen did not want them to get used to gaining an upper hand over others just because they were from the Nan family.

It was not something terrible, but if it became their habit, it would restrict them from further personal growth. If they were ever cast into an environment where they could not use their connections to solve their issues, they would be doomed.

Perhaps that was why the phrase “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations” existed. Children born in wealthy families had everything the moment they were born, so they did not need to work as hard as others.

However, once the older generation—the ones they relied on—died, those habits would become their downfall. When they had to rely on no one else but themselves, they would become far weaker than others.

The performance of the business they managed would plummet. Their companies might go bankrupt or be acquired by others. The cruelty of competition would overwhelm them, and in the end, they would have no choice but to surrender.

Nan Chen did not wish for his children to end up like that, and he did not want them to establish a name for themselves by riding on his coattails.

He hoped that Dabao and Erbao would be able to continue managing Nanshi Corporation with their own capabilities after his retirement and continue expanding the corporate empire.

Ning Ran might understand where he was coming from, but she couldn't entirely understand his way of doing things, let alone the children, who were too young to comprehend that.

That was why Nan Chen was making Ning Ran bear the responsibility.

“I'm not eating anymore. I'm so sad,” Erbao muttered despondently.

She knew that the matter could be salvaged if only one of her parents was against it. However, if both of her parents were against it, there was no way they were going to join the competition.

“But you'll still get a chance to perform the song you've been practicing in front of many people,” Nan Chen went on.
