Chapter 421: Achieved Her Aim
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Ning Yan looked at Tang Xi and said, “If you didn’t perform well, would I invite you to cooperate with me? Now it seems that Tang Xi was right. You are more suitable for this role than her indeed. And I think you’re more talented in acting than her.”
Tang Xi, “….Well, thank you, Director Ning.”
Ning Yan turned up the corner of his mouth, walked up to Tang Xi and crossed his arms over his chest. He looked at her up and down, asking, “Well, are you interested in joining my team? If you agree, I’ll sign a script that I was interested in when I go back to China. That script happens to have two female leads. You and Wanyi will star it. What do you think of it?”
Tang Xi smiled and began to ponder whether she should accept the offer. Not revealing her thoughts, she merely said with a smile, “It seems that you already had a plan, Director Ning. ”
“To tell you the truth, I have chosen He Wanyi as one of the female leads long ago, but I’ve been looking for the other one. Now I think I’ve found the right one. As long as you agree, I’ll immediately sign that script. What do you say?” Ning Yan rested his chin on his hand and looked at Tang Xi. He was sure Tang Xi would agree.
Tang Xi took a deep breath and said, “Isn’t it better for me to endorse my own brand if I’m more famous?”
“Sure. Our movie will be played all over the world, and at that time, your fans will be all over the world. Then what do you think your fans will do when they see your TV commercial?” Ning Yan said seriously.
Tang Xi pretended to be persuaded by his words.

Ning Yan looked at Tang Xi’s look, narrowed his eyes and continued, “Think about it. If, I mean if, you tell the public that The Queen is your company, then you’ll be the goddess of the entertainment circle, the business circle and campus at the same time. You will become the goddess of the whole country! The most successful goddess!”
“The goddess of the whole nation?” Tang Xi felt her heart was beating faster.
Ning Yan looked into her eyes and nodded seriously. “Yes, the goddess of the whole nation! You grew up in a village because you were purposely swapped with another girl when you were born. Your story will strike a chord with many common girls. However, instead of being devoured by the unfair fate, you exposed what the bad guys did to you, came back to your parents and took care of your mother despite the fact that she had abandoned you. And you also try your best to pay back to your uncle and his family who had helped you. These behaviors would win over many parents, kind-hearted people or the people with the similar experiences with you. Besides, your successes in business will also attract the attention of many business people. So you will surely become a goddess of the nation!”
“You’ll become not only a goddess of the nation, but also of the whole world!” Ning Yan looked at Tang Xi with sparkling eyes and said in an exaggerated tone.
Tang Xi pursed her lips and pondered. It had been quite a while before she nodded. “Okay, if it can be helpful to The Queen, I can join your team.”
He Wanyi raised her eyebrows. It was the first time that she had seen Ning Yan try so hard to persuade someone to join his team!
But Tang Xi was very glad to hear Ning Yan’s words. She had been reluctant to enter the entertainment industry, but now after hearing Ning Yan’s words, she thought perhaps it was not a bad idea to become an actress. She didn’t like the entertainment circle because of Xu Fang, but there was also someone like He Wanyi in this circle. She didn’t have to reject this circle just because of Xu Fang. She could accept 008’s challenge!

Yes, she took the task 008 gave her as 008’s challenge to her. If she could become a goddess of the nation in the end, she was the winner!
Lose? No! There wasn’t such a word in her dictionary. She must win.
When Qiao Liang came over, Tang Xi had accepted Ning Yan’s offer. Ning Yan told her that he would let her know when the script was ready.
Seeing this scene, Qiao Liang frowned. He walked up to the two of them with a dark look, stared at Tang Xi and said, “I think you need to explain to me what is going on here.
Tang Xi pursed her lips and thought about whether she should tell the truth to Qiao Liang. Since he had accepted the fact that she came back to life, it would also be easy for him to accept the fact that she owned a system…
No, she’d better not tell him about 008. Just make up an excuse instead.
Ning Yan raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Liang, asking in surprise, “Why are you giving me this look? I’m discussing with your girlfriend about our future cooperation. Don’t take it the wrong way!”
Qiao Liang took a look at Ning Yan and coldly said, “I’ll settle accounts with you later.” Then he turned his eyes to Tang Xi and said, “You, come with me.”
Tang Xi nodded and obediently followed him away. He Wanyi looked at Qiao Liang who seemed to be very angry, and she swallowed and asked, “He won’t hit Xiao Rou, will he?”
Ning Yan gave a glance at He Wanyi with a smile, looked at the two of them and said, “He won’t. Don’t worry.”
“Yes, nothing will happen. Don’t worry.” He Wanzhou said.
Ning Yan took a look at He Wanyi and said, “You shouldn’t think of the sister. Think of the brother. Since you love him, why don’t you confess your love to him? Just like what that Miss Tang said, leave no regret to your life.”
With that, he turned around to have his men put away the machines, thanked the staff and came back…
Qiao Liang stared at Tang Xi who had lowered her head in guilt. He frowned and said, “I want you to explain to me. ‘Let you know when the script is ready’? Do you plan to enter the entertainment circle?”
Tang Xi pursed her lips and looked at Qiao Liang, answering, “Director Ning said I was very talented in acting and it would be a pity if I didn’t shoot movies, so I… accepted his offer…”
“I think that’s just your original aim, right?” Qiao Liang looked darkly at Tang Xi and coldly said, “You had been strange since I talked with He Wanzhou. You’re Tang Xi and also Xiao Rou. That script was written by Xiao Rou. Why couldn’t Tang Xi star in that promotion clip?”
Hearing his sharp question, Tang Xi pursed her lips and looked up at Qiao Liang, asking, “Then why do you think I suddenly become like this?”
Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes and gazed at Tang Xi, asking, “Is it because of ‘that stuff’ with which you saved me last time?”
Tang Xi paused. She didn’t expect that Qiao Liang was so smart… She nodded. “Yes, ‘that stuff’ brought me back to life and gave me some powers that others don’t have, but… I have to pay a price for what I got.”
