My Wife Is a Superstar (Ning Tan)

Chapter 931 Drop The Act
The housekeeper looked at Dabao, who dared not cough anymore and simply kept his head bowed.
“You don't need to consider him. He's just a kid. We can't allow him to do whatever he wants,” Ning Ran stated.
“Many people were criticizing you online today and making derogatory remarks about you, Madam. Little Master was so furious
that he joined the fan club and applied to be the leader of the Mavericks' anti-cyberbullying team. He got the position because of
his exceptional skills. He's truly a genius,” the housekeeper said, admiration written all over her face.
Not just anyone could work as a housekeeper in the Nan family. They had to have a certain degree of cultural foundation and
undergo rigorous training and screenings before being offered the posts.
Of course, they received excellent perks, and their roles differed from those of typical housekeepers. They only did some manual
tasks and were more akin to staff employees working at the Nan residence.
Not only did they have insurance and other protections, but they also had prospects for advancement.
Hence, they were very professional. Otherwise, they would not be able to communicate so eloquently and effectively.
“What are the Mavericks? Is that the name they coined for the fan club?” asked Ning Ran.
“That's right! You have many fans now, Mommy, and so do I. Your fans are called the Mavericks. Mine doesn't have one at the
moment,” Erbao blurted out.
Realization dawned on Ning Ran. I see. Since my stage name is Ding Mi, my fans must have taken the “M” in “Mi” to come up
with “the Mavericks.” It sounds dynamic and interesting.
“And then? Also, what's that all about being the leader of the anti-cyberbullying team?”
“They were recruiting experts in the fan club, so Dabao went to apply for the position of the anti-cyberbullying team leader. When
they asked him what he could do, he told them that he could create anti-cyberbullying programs that would automatically report
comments slandering you, Mommy. They didn't believe him, so he wrote one and immediately got the role. They called him a
genius and inquired about his job. He told them that he's a lecturer teaching computing at the university, and they believed it
since he's amazing!”

Erbao had held back from speaking for so long that as soon as she started, she was rambling on and on.
Thankfully, her stream of thought was clear, and she spoke well, so Ning Ran had no trouble understanding her.
Basically, my genius son stepped up again, and this time, he even became the leader of my fan club's anti-cyberbullying team. A
new broom sweeps clean. Of course, he has to accomplish something to prove his capabilities since he just stepped into the
role. So, he worked overtime, which is why he was up so late.
Ning Ran's heart had long softened.
“As a kid, you shouldn't be participating in these things, let alone stay up late because of them. The adult world is complicated,
and you shouldn't get sucked into it so soon since you're still young.”
Ning Ran meant every word she said. The entertainment industry was all about fame and fortune and was rife with deceit and
schemes. She did not want her precious son to be exposed to the dark side of the adult world at such a young age.
“But I've already accepted the position. I'll be irresponsible if I back out. You and Daddy have always taught me to finish what I
start. The fan club members have such high expectations of me, which is all the more reason why I shouldn't quit midway.”
Despite Dabao speaking in a soft voice, his reasoning was clear.
Ning Ran parted her lips, but she could not formulate a retort.
This is bad. If I can't control him now while he's still so young, won't it be more difficult when he gets older?
“How dare you talk back to me! Kids shouldn't be doing these things!”
Ning Ran raised her voice, trying to use her parental authority to stop him.
“What's with this ruckus? Why are you arguing at this hour?”
Nan Chen had returned home.
“Mommy is lecturing Dabao, Daddy. It has nothing to do with me.” Erbao removed herself from the situation first to avoid being
implicated.
“What exactly is going on?”

Erbao spoke up before Ning Ran could respond, spilling everything.
Nan Chen glanced at Dabao. “What does the anti-cyberbullying team mainly do?”
Although he also invested in entertainment projects, he was ignorant about online fan culture.
“A fan club has an anti-cyberbullying team and a voting team. The voting team is responsible for promoting and voting for the
idol. There are also other teams. The anti-cyberbullying team mainly deals with the news and comments of haters, either by
clarifying the facts or reporting them. However, reporting manually would be very troublesome, and since I could write some
programs to do it automatically, I became the team leader,” Dabao explained.
Nan Chen's lips curved upward. He truly got it!
Ning Ran noticed his expression. Is he smiling? For Poker Face, it's definitely considered smiling. Instead of helping me
discipline our child, he's smiling?
“It's wrong for a child to be involved in such things, don't you think?” Ning Ran glared at Nan Chen.
Her threatening gaze was blatantly obvious. There was no way he could have missed it.
“It's indeed debatable.” Nan Chen's reply was ambiguous, much like his attitude.
“What do you mean it's debatable? He's just a kid. He can't just go and do these things!” Ning Ran raised her voice.
“That's true. He is quite young.” Nan Chen's stance was still lacking clarity.
Ning Ran grew anxious.
If you keep up with this attitude, how am I supposed to discipline the children in the future?
“Shouldn't you be telling him to stop doing all of this? Let the netizens trash me as much as they want! You said it yourself. Every
artist faces criticism. The more popular you are, the more criticism you get. What's the big deal? I'll just ignore them. Go ahead
and do it if they have the energy!” she exclaimed loudly.
“That's not true. Long-term criticism will affect the artist's reputation and also fuel the arrogance of those haters. Retaliation still
must be done when needed. The commercial value of an artist would be affected if they faced long-term criticism. Major brands
wouldn't dare to recruit artists with too much criticism to endorse their products for fear of negative impact.”

Nan Chen looked serious as he analyzed the matter from a business perspective.
Ning Ran felt as if she was going insane.
Did I ask you to analyze the commercial value? Do you think I didn't know all the things you mentioned? Do I wish to be criticized
and defamed? With your intelligence, there's no way you can't tell that I said all of that to keep our son out of it. You're playing
dumb, aren't you? Why are you pretending at a time like this? Jeez!
Nan Chen had no choice but to state his opinion after catching a glimpse of Ning Ran's fiery gaze.
“Since Dabao is already involved, let him do it for a while, but it mustn't affect his studies. Acquiring new knowledge is the most
important thing for a kid. Also, you can't stay up late. Don't do this again. I'll let you off the hook this time. Go to bed!”
Only after hearing that did Dabao reply, “Okay, Daddy. I won't stay up late anymore. I'm sorry, Mommy. I shouldn't have made
you angry. I'm going to bed now. Good night.”
Erbao stuck out her tongue. “It's none of my business. Good night, Mommy. Good night, Daddy.”
Things finally settled down. Ning Ran returned to the bedroom. Just as she was about to admonish Nan Chen for not voicing his
stance clearly, the latter grabbed her and questioned her first. “Was it Ruan Anxi who sent you back?”
