Chapter 900: Chapter 898: Turning Calamity into Motivation (First Update)

"Take good care of yourself, it’s not worth it to wear yourself out." Nuonuo said very politely.

Originally, she wasn’t that familiar with him, and after not seeing each other for months, they really had no common topics to talk about.

However, her politeness might not be obvious to him.

"Si Han, do you have time tonight? We haven’t seen Director Sun for a long time, how about having dinner together tonight?"

Nuonuo was still wondering why he called her, and only understood after he stated his purpose.

"Tonight?" Nuonuo hesitated.

She indeed had nothing to do tonight, but since the video incident, she felt it was best to stay home quietly until Sister Fang and Brother resolved it.

Fang Kai probably heard her hesitation, "It doesn’t have to be tonight, I just got back from filming on location, I’m free all this week. How about you set a time, and we’ll accommodate you?"

Nuonuo was well aware of her position, both before Director Sun and Fang Kai, she was just a small fry. There was no reason for small fries to make big shots wait.

"Brother Fang Kai, you’re so busy, how could I dare disrupt your schedule? How about this, you and Director Sun have dinner tonight, and I’ll invite both of you one day soon when I’m free?"

Fang Kai, after a moment of silence, suddenly asked, "Si Han, are you still mad at me for last time?"

Nuonuo’s mind went blank, she couldn’t recall what Fang Kai was referring to about her being mad.

"Brother Fang Kai, you misunderstood, I’ve never been mad at you!"

This little girl spoke the truth; she had forgotten long ago the incident where Fang Kai declined her dinner invitation.

Fang Kai seemed not to believe it. "Actually, I didn’t refuse you on purpose last time. We’ve worked together in the crew for months now, if not great friends, aren’t we at least friends? Insisting on inviting me for such a small matter seemed very formal and distant, isn’t it?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

When Fang Kai mentioned it, Nuonuo remembered that during the location shoot of the movie "Spring", she indeed asked Fang Kai to work overtime to help her get her scenes done early due to her need to take leave. She did mention treating him to dinner, but he refused.

Back then, she was probably a bit embarrassed. However, she had Sister Fang send him a gift afterward, and given her extreme forgetfulness, she’d forgotten all about it within days.

So claiming she was still mad was indeed making a mountain out of a molehill.

But since this topic had been brought up after so long, it was hard to clarify over the phone. Also, Nuonuo realized that the dinner with Fang Kai was inevitable. Since that’s the case, having the initiative in her hands was always better.

"Brother Fang Kai, I wasn’t mad at you for that matter, and it’s been so long, I forgot. We work so hard filming, at the end of a long day, all I want is to lie down at home. Going out for dinner can happen anytime, right? How about this, I’m free the day after tomorrow, and I’ll invite you and Director Sun out for dinner. I actually have some things I want to consult you both on."

This girl Nuonuo actually had nothing to consult these two big shots about, but everything needs a decent front, and these two esteemed figures weren’t really waiting to eat this meal from her.

"The day after tomorrow? Alright, let’s set it for the day after tomorrow. You decide the place." Fang Kai’s goal was simply to have dinner with Si Han. Once the goal was achieved, the details didn’t matter.

On her way home, Nuonuo told Tian Fang about setting a dinner date with Director Sun and Fang Kai for the day after tomorrow. Tian Fang looked at her, surprised, "Wow? Since when did my Nuonuo become so smooth and worldly, actually knowing to invite famous directors and big stars for dinner to build connections?"

Clearly, Tian Fang overestimated Nuonuo.

"It’s not like that!"

Nuonuo felt unjustly treated; she hadn’t been mad at Fang Kai before, yet he assumed she was upset, holding a grudge for months over such a trivial matter. How petty must one be to remember such things?

Nuonuo roughly recounted Fang Kai’s phone call to Tian Fang, who was listening with a lighthearted smile until her expression grew serious as she continued listening.

"Nuonuo, you and Fang Kai had such an incident?"

Nuonuo felt a bit wronged, furrowing her brows at Tian Fang, "Sister Fang, nothing happened between us."

Tian Fang gave Nuonuo a knowing glance and couldn’t help but think, in some aspects, this girl is quite dense!

Nuonuo certainly wasn’t dense, it’s just that her emotional sensitivity was mostly open to family and Ji Dabao. For people she didn’t care about, she was like a phone with the WiFi turned off, completely unable to pick up on unrelated external signals.

Of course, one could say she’s dense, but for her, this spared a lot of trouble, avoiding interference and intrusion, making things both simple and convenient.

Consequently, Nuonuo’s denseness saved Da Bao a lot of worry too.

"I know, nothing happened between you and him, it was just a slip of the tongue on my part."

Tian Fang verbally comforted the little girl, but in her mind, she thought it best to report this Fang Kai matter to Mr. Ji ahead of time. Otherwise, if something really happened and she hadn’t informed him, she’d be in big trouble!

"Sister Fang, do you have any good place recommendations?"

Tian Fang rolled her eyes at her, "When it comes to places to eat, aren’t you foodies in the family the experts?"

"That’s true. But Sister Fang, do you know what Director Sun and Brother Fang Kai like to eat?"

Tian Fang thought for a while, but couldn’t find any related information.

"I’ll call Ah Chao later to ask."

"Okay, remember to free up time to come with me the day after tomorrow." Even though Nuonuo hadn’t picked up on any special signals from Fang Kai, she had a strong sense of self-protection.

Tian Fang was still figuring out how to inform the master about going along to the dinner, ostensibly to enjoy a free meal, but really to watch over his baby on behalf of Mr. Ji. "Where there’s good food and fun, I’ll sure remember!"

With that, the matter concerning Fang Kai was put to rest.

"Did you and my brother come up with a solution after talking all afternoon?"

"Mmm, we’re handling it, so don’t worry."

After discussing all afternoon, Da Bao and Tian Fang reached a full agreement.

The video wouldn’t be deleted, but they’d have influencers behind the scenes perform a series of positive operations, controlling the situation’s initiative.

Additionally, Da Bao had contacted the heads of major websites, cautioning against excessively digging into Nuonuo’s background, preventing the situation from heading in a negative direction.

Furthermore, Da Bao had already spoken with the restaurant manager, who graciously handed over all videos related to last night’s incident involving Da Bao and Nuonuo. They also signed an agreement to not respond or use this for publicity or hype.

Thus, what seemed like a disaster to Nuonuo became her first stepping stone.
