After I Became Famous, the CEO Wants Remarriage-Chapter 80 - Who Isn’t a Little Star Now~
Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Who Isn’t a Little Star Now~
Ning Yichu thought back carefully, she had seen him on stage earlier, looked at the nameplate on his chest, and called out politely, “Hello, Manager Zhao.”
“It’s like this, even though the preliminary competition went quite smoothly, our organizing committee would like to invite the few with the highest scores for a meal, to discuss any loopholes in this competition’s process and to talk about everyone’s expectations for the upcoming competitions. We also hope you’ll grant us the honor of your company.”
Ning Yichu glanced at the time, it was four-thirty in the afternoon; she guessed there was probably nothing else happening.
“Will Mr. Li attend?”
The person in charge had an idea but did not answer directly; instead, they asked, “Lady Ning, do you know President Li?”
“Oh, no, I don’t know him. I just looked at him from a distance under the stage,” Ning Yichu brushed it off with a laugh, joking. To say she was Li Lingyang’s ex-wife? She would be torn apart by others!
...
The person in charge continued, “We’ve also mentioned it to President Li, but whether he’ll go or not, that’s uncertain.”
Ning Yichu pursed her lips slightly, “Then I shall respectfully comply with the request.”
Li Lingyang, being someone who deals with countless matters every day, would mostly likely be too busy, right?
And certainly, he would not want to spend time in her company.
“Alrighty, please come this way…” A gleam of triumph flashed in the eyes of the person in charge as they led Ning Yichu down another corridor.
Meanwhile, Fan Yuke was taking Ningning to the Shengshi Group’s children’s clothing brand center for an audition.
After all, Fan Yuke was a celebrity—with a style that turned heads, stunningly beautiful with curves in all the right places—and she held the hand of a cute and cool little cutie, Ning Mengmeng. As they walked by, the heads they turned were numerous!
They walked straight up to the reception desk, Fan Yuke took off her sunglasses, lightly curved her fingers and knocked on the marble countertop, her big dashing eyes blinking rapidly, “Hello, we’re here for the audition.”
The receptionist followed her gaze downward and was met with Ningning’s chubby little face.
“Are you here for the auditions to become the children’s clothing spokesperson?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
“The audition studio is on the 17th floor, please follow me.”
Ningning thanked her in a milky voice, nearly melting the receptionist’s heart, who personally escorted them to the elevator, not forgetting to use a sweet tone to encourage, “Best of luck, little one! You are the cutest and most stylish baby I’ve ever seen…”
Ningning covered her chubby cheeks, bashfully blinking her large eyes, “Thank you for the encouragement, pretty sister. I’ll try my best.”
As the elevator doors closed and they started ascending, Fan Yuke finally took off her mask and watched Ningning with a teachable expression, squinting her eyes, “Nicely done, baby. Keep up the good work when you meet the photographer! On the set, apart from the photographer, one should never offend the lighting and the props people either…”
Ningning tapped her little head, “Godmother, you’ve already taught me. If I offend the lighting uncle, the lighting will be dim, and I will look ugly in the pictures…”
“Exactly, that’s the idea~”
Ding-dong, the elevator doors opened.
Fan Yuke led Ningning to the outside of the studio, where lots of children and parents had already arrived.
Everyone maintained a surface-level smile, praising each other’s child for their cuteness, but upon closer inspection, the parents seemed to be stealthily sizing up the children in the room, mentally weighing and comparing, not just for cuteness, but who was more naturally charming and had a sense of fashion for the camera?
Honestly, all the children were more or less the same, all cute and lovely, hard to differentiate.
But as soon as Fan Yuke, a celebrity, arrived with Ningning, her star quality “shone,” her cool demeanor contaminating Ningning, making both of them seem thoroughly like stars.
Those smiling parents abruptly cast wary looks their way.
Fan Yuke unconsciously tightened her grip on Ningning’s little paw, feeling as if a small rabbit had entered the wolf’s den…
At this moment, a staff member dressed in professional attire stepped out, and upon seeing the new arrivals Fan Yuke and Ningning, she asked without a blink, “Are you also here to participate in the auditions?”
“Yes, this is my goddaughter Ning Mengmeng,” responded Fan Yuke quickly, her eyes darting, as she took a step forward.
“Upon hearing the name ‘Ning Mengmeng,'” the female staff member, who had been indifferent, suddenly felt her brow twitch a few times before she looked up directly at an adult and a child.
Yuke was being stared at and felt even more nervous than she had been for her own audition, “What’s the matter?”
“Nothing,” Lucy remembered the name was one that President Li had specifically mentioned over the phone and handed over a form to Yuke, “Please fill this out first.”
Yuke efficiently completed the form.
Lucy then asked them to follow her inside.
Yuke hadn’t expected things to go so smoothly, almost thinking they would have to wait in a long queue.
However, the unobstructed entry for the two of them provoked protests from the parents waiting in line, “We’ve been waiting for so long, why are they allowed to go first?”
“That’s right! We all took time off to bring our children to the audition, is this fair?”
Lucy looked at their children indifferently and spoke in a calm voice, “If you feel it’s unfair, you can leave now, Linda…”
“Lucy sis?” Another person, looking like a secretary, ran over.
“Find these two children’s registration forms and give them back…” Lucy spoke in an official tone, exuding a powerful executive’s air.
“Mommy, I won’t go back! I want to be on TV, I want to be the spokesperson…” Those two children were the first to make a fuss.
Seeing this, the parents could only sullenly shut their mouths.
Without a glance at them, Lucy turned and led Yuke and Ningning inside.
This floor was filled with various photography studios, each with its own built scene, and in every room, there were children auditioning.
Perhaps it was the children’s first time in front of a camera, either resulting in fussing and crying or in poor-quality photos.
Photographers could faintly be heard complaining, “I don’t know what President Li is thinking, who says children’s clothing must be represented by kids under five, such small children, it’s impossible to communicate, let alone develop a sense for the camera…”
Yuke and Ningning exchanged glances, both seeing the “up to no good” in each other’s eyes.
Finally, Lucy stopped at the door of one of the most luxurious photography studios.
“Just a moment, let me go in and announce our arrival.”
Announcement? It’s that serious?
Yuke couldn’t help but look around, wondering if this was the domain of the chief photographer.
In less than five minutes, Lucy returned, the previous coldness and arrogance replaced by a spring-like smile, “All right, Miss Fan, Miss Ning, please…”
“Okay, okay,” Yuke and Ningning nodded like bobbleheads, and then, taking a deep breath, they solemnly entered the studio.
The interior was brightly lit, yet contrary to what they had imagined, it was eerily quiet without the busy staff and photographers.
A tall figure was sitting on the leather sofa in the middle of the room, facing away from them.

The man’s back was to them, his face unclear, but they could sense he must be handsome; even his hairstyle was meticulously perfect!
“Um, hello, we are here for the audition…” Yuke cleared her throat, thinking she was an adult after all, and initiated the conversation.
Mu Bailang was lazily leaning on the sofa, browsing a magazine. Hearing the voice, he slowly put down the magazine, turned slightly, and with a sly, handsome side profile, he looked at them with a half-smile.
“What a coincidence, Miss Fan, we meet again, and this little friend… Ningning~”
“Demon Uncle!” Ningning recognized at once the handsome uncle from Grandma’s birthday banquet and exclaimed excitedly.
Um, he even danced with mommy!
