Second pregnancy, sixth child: The beloved mom's disguise has been exposed again.

Chapter 325 Senior Nie, a Big Shot in the Industry

"Did you need something?" Tang Xiaoge remained seated, glancing up at Ning Yao.

"Yes, I heard you got injured on the mountain, so I came to see you. I also brought some wound ointment that my son developed. It's very effective; you can try it."

Ning Yao handed the ointment in her hand to Tang Xiaoge's assistant.

After receiving the ointment, the assistant naturally dared not use it on Tang Xiaoge. He turned his back to the side and scanned the verification code on the packaging box.

Luo Xiyao looks so young, and her son is at most a few years old. Who would dare to use an ointment developed by a child?

But after scanning it, he opened his eyes wide in disbelief. The small tube of ointment in his hand was actually a limited edition released worldwide. Because of the complicated production process and the fact that the ingredients were expensive and hard-to-find medicinal materials, the price was outrageously high.

"I'm the producer of this production, so I'm definitely responsible for the safety of all of you actors. I'm not giving you any special treatment," Tang Xiaoge explained proactively.

Ning Yao gave Tang Xiaoge a strange look. Didn't she say that she would receive special treatment?

Tang Xiaoge clearly realized that his attempt to explain himself was somewhat suspicious, so he suppressed his inner panic, kept a straight face, and added in a low voice.

"In addition, there is also a request."

"Is there anything I can do to help? Just tell me, and I won't refuse if it's within my power."

During this period, Ning Yao encountered acting problems on set, all of which were caused by Tang Xiaoge. Even without Tang Xiaoge saving her, she would have helped unconditionally.

"I have a younger sister whose skin has always been a bit rough. I heard your friend has a good cosmeceutical product, so..."

"Oh, I see. No problem, I'll have someone bring it over in a bit. Is one course of treatment enough? It should be effective in half a month."

Ning Yao thought it was something important, but it turned out to be just skincare products.

This was really a piece of cake for her, not difficult at all.

"That should be enough. Thank you on behalf of my sister. I'll let her know to come and pick it up later."

"Okay, Teacher Tang, remember to use the ointment I gave you. I won't bother you any longer. See you on set later."

"Okay, see you on set."

After watching Ning Yao leave the lounge, Tang Xiaoge calmly picked up her phone and called her 'sister'.

"Jing Ruo, it's me. Could you do me a favor this afternoon by putting on special effects makeup?"

"It just means making your skin look worse, like you have serious skin problems."

"Then act even more pitiful, like you desperately need a miracle cure, got it?"

Upon hearing this, the makeup artist and assistants exchanged bewildered glances, none of them knowing what Tang Xiaoge was thinking.

……

Ning Yao had just finished filming when she noticed a new face on set. The person had been staring at her with curiosity since the filming began.

It wasn't until the girl with an absurdly large number of freckles on her face jumped up, ran to Tang Xiaoge's side, and sweetly called out "Brother" that Ning Yao realized that this girl was Tang Xiaoge's sister.

Ning Yao admired this girl. Despite having so many freckles on her face, she wasn't self-conscious at all, and she was also very lively and cheerful.

"She's the girl you risked your life to save. She's really pretty. Hmm, I think I've seen her online before." Jing Ruo ran up to Ning Yao, her eyes filled with a meaningful look.

Luo Xiyao...

Ning Yao...

This person has two names, that's interesting.

Of all the people Tang Xiaoge knew, Jing Ruo had the most lifelike special effects makeup, otherwise he wouldn't have invited her over.

It's true that he felt guilty; even if this younger sister didn't exist, Ning Yao wouldn't have known.

"This is Luo Xiyao, an actress from our crew. She's the one who gave us the serum. Thank you so much," Tang Xiaoge said, gesturing to Jing Ruo.

"Thank you." Jing Ruo finally behaved a little better, but after taking the essence, she frowned in disgust.

What is this thing? It doesn't even have a brand. Is it a counterfeit product?

"I've taken my things. I have something to do, so I'll be going now. Let's have dinner together another day, bro."

"Be careful on the road. I'll have my assistant take you home."

Jing Ruo remained noncommittal, waved to the two of them, and quickly left the set.

She had seen enough of Luo Xiyao and felt that she was just pretty, but her personality was mediocre and had no special characteristics.

It's not fun at all, even more boring than Tang Xiaoge!

If these two were to get together, who knows how boring their lives would become.

Jing Ruo walked to the outside of the film set, casually tossed aside the bottle of essence Ning Yao had given her, and the car quickly drove away from the film set, leaving a faint trail of exhaust fumes.

Just then, Li Xuan was examining herself in a mirror in a corner of the set when she noticed that Jing Ruo had lost a small sample bottle that looked somewhat familiar.

Curious, she approached and discovered that the discarded bottle was actually the essence that Luo Xiyao had given her.

"What a waste! What kind of person is that?" Li Xuan muttered to herself as she picked the items out of the trash can, looking distressed.

Li Xuan took the serum to the lounge and happened to run into Ning Yao, so she told her what had happened.

"You were so kind to give her the serum, how could she throw it away? That's outrageous!"

“Not everyone is as carefree as you. This medicine doesn’t even have a brand name, so it’s understandable that she wouldn’t dare to use it.”

Ning Yao could understand Jing Ruo's concerns, but the fact that Jing Ruo had lost something she had given her on set was somewhat...

"Her face is already like that, what wouldn't she dare to use? Even if her face were ruined, it wouldn't be any worse than it is now."

"If you really don't believe it, then don't take it. Taking it in front of people and then throwing it away later is just a waste."

Li Xuan was still indignant, even angrier than Ning Yao, the person involved.

After she finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something.

"By the way, your cosmeceuticals are about to be launched, right? I'll help you promote them then."

Upon hearing this, Ning Yao narrowed her eyes.

It's indeed time to go public. Mass production will begin, and the first batch of products should be available in the next couple of days at the earliest. The quantity will be small; it's just a trial run to test the waters in the market.

Thinking of this, Ning Yao nodded seriously and said, "We do need your help to promote it. You're a beauty blogger, you have quite a few fans."

"You flatter me..." Li Xuan chuckled and touched the back of her head.

"I've been live streaming these past few days, but I haven't publicly revealed what products I'm using."

"Everyone has witnessed the process of my face healing from acne to now, and I have already built up a customer base for you."

"Since you've put so much effort into this, I'll give you a gift." Ning Yao's tone suddenly became mysterious.

Even though Li Xuan didn't want to take advantage of anyone, she couldn't help but wonder what Ning Yao wanted to give her.

“There’s a charity auction next week. If you’re interested, you can come with me,” Ning Yao said.

She knew that Li Xuan had been acting for many years and her acting skills had always been commendable.

However, she did not achieve the same level of success as other actresses of the same period. This was largely because Li Xuan refused to be taken advantage of by those greasy men and was also dragged down by an irresponsible and short-sighted small agency.

That company is very good at exploiting its artists; Li Xuan is a good example.

Over the years, they haven't managed to secure many good roles, but they've kept having her do live-streaming sales to generate profits for the company.

Fortunately, Li Xuan proved herself capable and made a name for herself in live streaming, becoming a well-known streamer on a certain platform.

Ning Yao also wanted to introduce Li Xuan to her uncle Luo Xiangzhi, which could be considered a favor.

Many big names in the entertainment industry attended this auction. After all, it was for charity, and most celebrities wanted to use this opportunity to gain a good reputation. Her son had mentioned this to her before, and his idea was for her to make an appearance as well.

"Next week's charity auction..." Li Xuan muttered to herself, her expression somewhat dazed. Suddenly, her voice rose eight octaves, filled with utter astonishment.

"Xi Yao, you're not talking about that auction hosted by Senior Nie, are you?"

Old Master Nie?

Ning Yao really didn't know who organized it; she only made the trip for her youngest daughter.

"Wait a minute, let me call and ask." Ning Yao took out her phone and dialed Ning Moran's number. The other party answered quickly.

After listening intently for a while, Ning Yao put down the phone and gave Li Xuan a positive answer in a clear, cool voice.

"The organizer of this charity auction was indeed the senior Nie Donghe."
