There were pros and cons to working with each of the three TV stations, so Fang Yan wanted Lin Nuan to weigh them herself. She then sent Lin Nuan a script to her email, asking her to take a look at it when she was free!
"This is a movie that revolves around the theme of special armed forces. The director said that after watching your show, he felt that you"re especially suited for the reporter"s role in the movie. He wants you to put on a natural performance, just be yourself! I"ve read the script, and I think it"s pretty good. You can take a look… If you feel that it"s okay, let me know. The director"s waiting for your reply!"
Now that Lin Nuan"s show "After Heroes" was so hot, it would be beneficial for her to act in such a movie. Fang Yan talked to Lin Nuan about her public persona…
"Don"t think that you don"t need a public persona simply because you"re a host! From now on, you need to construct that icon of heroism public persona as a show host. This will help you strike a deeper chord in the hearts of the viewers when you talk about the issues you care about in the future!"
Lin Nuan nodded. She wasn"t someone who couldn"t heed advice. "I"ll take a good look at the script."
It would be Chinese New Year soon. Liu Mingchen"s case was scheduled to go on trial before then. Originally, Liu Mingchen had wanted to go on Lin Nuan"s "Talking with Lin Nuan," but Lin Nuan had discussed it with Miss Xia, and they both felt that Liu Mingchen was considered a hero. At least in the eyes of those patients, Liu Mingchen was their savior and salvation! He was fully deserving of the t.i.tle of a hero!
Hence, after Miss Xia discussed it with Lin Nuan, they planned to invite Liu Mingchen to appear on "After Heroes"!
Miss Xia and Lin Nuan both felt that, since there was quite a time gap before the trial, they ought to make Liu Mingchen"s manufacturing and selling of the medication into a hot topic so that his case would become more high profile.
Hence, they decided to shelve Rock"s episode for one week. Miss Xia planned to let Lin Nuan do Liu Mingchen"s episode first.
While Lin Nuan was getting busy with work, the overly peaceful situation in Haicheng caused Lu Jinnan and Tang Zheng"s nerves to be even more highly strung.
Gu Qingcheng had deployed most of the manpower into protecting Lin Nuan, Tuan Tuan, Fu Huai"an, and Yun Liuli. Even Tang Zheng had sent out his men to protect Lin Nuan, Tuan Tuan, and Fu Huai"an.
Yun Liuli never set foot outside the Fu residence, and the security system in the Fu residence was highly advanced, so Tang Zheng and Lu Jinnan weren"t too worried about her.
But they had to have people around Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan to protect them.
It wasn"t that Tang Zheng hadn"t considered getting Lin Nuan and Tuan Tuan to stay in the Fu residence and not go out as well. If they did that, they could consolidate the manpower protecting them!
But they couldn"t very well behave like they were confronting a great enemy before that enemy even came to them… losing the ability to lead their lives as per usual!
Furthermore, Fu Huai"an and Lu Jinnan also considered that should they put Yun Liuli, Lin Nuan, and Tuan Tuan together at all times, should those people target one of them, no one could guarantee that all three of them wouldn"t suffer the brunt at the same time!
Those people could have gathered their manpower and seized the three of them at the Fu residence, the same way Tang Zheng wanted to consolidate manpower by putting Tuan Tuan, Lin Nuan, and Yun Liuli in one place.
It was the same logic as not putting all of one"s eggs in one basket!
So long as something happened to one person among Yun Liuli, Lin Nuan, and Tuan Tuan, it would have the effect of alerting the others. If a problem truly arose, they could whisk the other two away to a safe place.
…
Early in the morning, when Lin Nuan went downstairs for breakfast, Fu Huai"an folded his newspaper and set it aside, then asked her, "Did you sign the contract with Haicheng TV Station for "After Heroes"?"
Lin Nuan swept over the newspaper, knowing that Fu Huai"an had already seen the news…
She hadn"t told Fu Huai"an about this, because after Fu Huai"an"s wound healed, he had been leaving the house early and coming back late, being incredibly busy with things at the company. Lin Nuan didn"t want to bug him with such trivial matters. If Fu Huai"an had the time, Lin Nuan hoped he would use it to rest instead of troubling himself over such trivial matters.
Pulling out a chair and sitting down, Lin Nuan nodded. "Mainly, I considered the distance. I knew that after signing a contract with a TV station, it would become a recording broadcast instead, but I couldn"t very well record "Talking with Lin Nuan" in the morning and "After Heroes" in the afternoon at Jinjiang TV Station. I don"t have the physical stamina to do two shows in one day! Furthermore, regardless of Jinjiang or Jincheng, it would take more than two hours to get there. Including the trip back, it"d be four hours. Rather than wasting all of my time on the road, I want to use that time to go to the Kaide Corporation to keep you company!"
After all, Chu Xun was no longer the president of Haicheng TV Station, and what grievances she suffered there happened in the past. It wasn"t as if Lin Nuan had some great enmity with the entirety of Haicheng TV Station.
Fu Huai"an nodded, a smile in his eyes as he spoke in a low voice. "Are you coming today?"
"I"ll go over at noon to bring you food. I heard from Little Lu that you"ve been so busy these days that you haven"t been eating lunch properly…"
Little Lu, who was standing by the side waiting for Fu Huai"an to finish his breakfast, suddenly felt the hairs all over him stand up. He subconsciously looked towards Fu Huai"an, who was sitting at the dining room table with his long legs crossed.
Fu Huai"an likely hadn"t thought that Little Lu would be reporting to Lin Nuan about his matters at the company. His vision swept over Little Lu, who was smiling awkwardly. He leaned against the back of his chair, his expression calm as he asked Little Lu in a maybe-smiling-maybe-not manner, "Little Lu, are you planning to collect your salary from Mrs. Fu in the future?"
"Lady Boss…" Little Lu gazed at Lin Nuan with a pleading look, addressing Lin Nuan as Lady Boss.
Little Lu usually addressed Lin Nuan as Madam. It was only in times like this that he would address her as Lady Boss…
Lin Nuan resisted the urge to laugh. "I was the one who pressed Little Lu for it. I"m worried about your injury, but I can"t very well follow you around all day. I"ve got to know about your condition before my heart can be at ease!"
Little Lu"s phone rang in his pocket, finally rescuing him from the dining room. He walked outside the house to answer the call. It was Aunt Blessing.
After hanging up the call, Little Lu frowned and stood outside the house with his phone in his hand for a long time. He then walked back into the dining room and told Lin Nuan and Fu Huai"an about what Aunt Blessing had said over the phone.
"Miss Sun"s car knocked into an expensive car on her way to work. The other party was hara.s.sing her with unreasonable demands, refusing to let her go and refusing to let her go to the hospital to have her wounds checked. He insisted on taking Miss Sun away, wanting Miss Sun to accompany him to socialize at a dinner. He said that he would then write the car accident off! Otherwise, he wouldn"t let her hear the end of it! Aunt Blessing said that Miss Sun had no choice but to call her. She wants…" Little Lu hesitated, only saying as he looked towards Fu Huai"an, "Wants Sir to help take care of it. If Sir doesn"t have the time, she hoped that I could go over and lend a.s.sistance to Miss Sun Miaomiao."
Little Lu was no goon, so how could he not understand her intentions? Getting Fu Huai"an to go over must have been Sun Miaomiao"s intention, whereas getting Little Lu to go over was perhaps Aunt Blessing"s suggestion knowing that Fu Huai"an was busy.
Aunt Blessing had panicked and frantically hung up the call to phone Little Lu after listening to the young lady cry as she recounted how she got into a car accident and got injured in an unfamiliar land. Worse yet was the way the unreasonable driver was up to no good and l.u.s.ting after Sun Miaomiao"s beauty.
Sun Miaomiao was crying over the phone as she pleaded for Aunt Blessing to get Fu Huai"an to come over and help her settle things. The anxious Aunt Blessing had agreed immediately. However, when she called Little Lu, she thought about how busy Fu Huai"an usually was. Therefore, she asked Little Lu if Fu Huai"an had time. If not, asking if Little Lu could go over and help settle the matter.
