The Big Boss & His Dainty Wife

Chapter 657: Chapter 657: A Kind of Bad Premonition_1

Chen Shuinan handed her the material he had picked up, reminding her lightly, “Be careful when you walk.”

“Yes, I understand!” Qiao Ning quickly left with the materials, not staying a moment longer.

Chen Shuinan took a glance at her retreating figure, and when he shifted his gaze back, he met Chai Xiyang’s pitch-black eyes.

For some reason, he felt something was off…

“Is there anything else?” Chen Shuinan asked him, puzzled.

Chai Xiyang curved his lips in a light smirk. “Nothing, you can go back to your work.”

...

With that, he turned around and left. His smile, however, vanished in an instant.

What replaced it was a gloomy gaze…

…

Qiao Ning returned to the office, distributing the printed materials to others.

While everyone acknowledged her hard work, Qiao Ning just shook her head while laughing, “It’s not hard work at all!”

She was busy with work that she loved, and she found joy in it.

Then, Chen Shuinan walked in and asked Qiao Ning, “Do we have enough copies of the script? Several actors will be coming soon, each of them needs a copy.”

“Enough!” Qiao Ning nodded. She had printed plenty, definitely enough.

“Did you really choose Zhang Meimei as the lead actress?” someone suddenly asked Chen Shuinan.

Chen Shuinan nodded: “The decision was made yesterday. We’ve settled on her.”

“I heard she is quite the diva…”

“I heard that too. She has a big ego and apparently a powerful background.”

Hearing the scriptwriters’ discussion, Qiao Ning was curious about who this Zhang Meimei was.

A well-known superstar? How come she didn’t recognize her?

But she had been away for five years, and in that time, the world had changed significantly. She hardly recognized any of the stars on the posters on the street anymore.

While Qiao Ning was thinking about this, she saw a group of people with strong presence walk in.

The woman leading the pack was dressed fashionably. The heels she was wearing must have been 10 centimeters high!

She was wearing sunglasses, and there was someone carrying her bag and another holding her hand behind her.

Qiao Ning’s first reaction was that a big shot just made an appearance!

And that woman was Zhang Meimei who, upon entering, completely ignored everyone else. She walked straight to Chen Shuinan, took off her sunglasses, extended her hand elegantly, and smiled sweetly, “Director Chen, long time no see! I’m so happy to see you.”

Chen Shuinan shook her hand lightly, his face, as always, cold and impassive, “Sit down, start reading the script. Qiao Ning, give her the script.”

Qiao Ning quickly handed a copy of the script to Zhang Meimei. “Miss Zhang, here’s the script we’ve prepared for you.”

Zhang Meimei, however, stared at her, her heavily made-up eyes wide open!

Qiao Ning suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

“Miss Zhang…” she hesitated, then suddenly froze!

Zhang… Zhang Yingying also had Zhang as her surname.

Did Zhang Meimei and Zhang Yingying… know each other?

Zhang Meimei recognized Qiao Ning too, she suddenly let out a cold laugh, and then she pointed at Qiao Ning in rage, shouting out loud: “You are Qiao Ning?! I knew it was you!”

Qiao Ning’s face instantly turned pale, fear gripping her without reason.

Zhang Meimei suddenly grabbed the script from her hand and hit Qiao Ning in the head with it.

Chen Shuinan instantly held her hand, his eyes piercing, “What are you doing?!”

The others were stunned by her sudden action!

No one understood why she was attacking a young girl all of a sudden…

Zhang Meimei pointed at Qiao Ning with her other hand and yelled, “Do you know her? Do you know what she has done in the past? Director Chen, how can you let such a person work here?”
