Chapter 93: This Man Is Very Dangerous
Ning Dan's residence is a high-end residential complex with a high degree of privacy.
Entering and exiting the complex requires layers of credentials, much like passing through five passes and slaying six generals.
This type of residence is quite popular among celebrities.
After getting out of the car, the female assistant left first. Luo Mo watched the place where she quickly drove away, wondering why she was in such a hurry.
This female assistant loves to watch all sorts of messy dramas during her breaks.
Recently, a new popular theme has emerged in urban dramas—the "younger man" romance.
The so-called "younger man" romance is simply dating someone younger than oneself.
In the past, it was popular to have an older man and a young girl; now, what's popular is for the woman to be older than the man.
Although the female assistant didn't think there was anything between Ning Dao and Luo Mo, she just fantasized about it herself, finding it particularly exciting, which was her way of amusing herself.
"A female director and a trainee, ahhhhh!" She felt that just by using her imagination, she could start off a whole day in a wonderful mood.
Believe me, there are really many, many people in this world who love to fantasize.
Of course, while women love watching "younger man" romance dramas, men are actually quite interested in wealthy women too.
Eating while standing, working while lying down.
If one can live off a woman comfortably, isn't that sweet?
As the saying goes: meet a good person and settle down first, meet a noble person and establish a career first, meet a wealthy woman and settle down and establish a career.
If a woman is capable in every aspect, who can handle that?
Luo Mo walked toward the elevator lobby, and while waiting for the elevator, he opened his phone to check the property prices of this high-end complex.
He only took one look before silently putting his phone back into his pocket.
"Hiss, Ning Dao is even wealthier than I imagined," Luo Mo sighed.
But it makes sense; for many of her programs, she herself has invested money into them.
"I wonder what the rent is like in a place like this," Luo Mo thought to himself.
Then, he felt that in a place like this, there might not necessarily be any apartments for rent.
Overall, he felt this place was quite good, and it wasn't far from Xinyu.
Ning Dan's residence is located on the 27th floor, which is the Phoenix Floor of this building.
After ringing the doorbell, Ning Dan came over to open the door.
Ning Dan was, just as she had said, cooking in person.
Since she was cooking at home, it was naturally impossible for her to be wearing a professional suit—if she were fully equipped with silk stockings, a skirt, and a white shirt, the kitchen's function might not just be for cooking.
She was dressed very casually today, in a loose, pure white short-sleeved shirt and a pair of thin, grey summer ice-silk trousers.
Of course, there was also an apron.
Although the ice-silk trousers were loose, for someone with a perky butt, they could still bring out a unique aesthetic.
After opening the door, Ning Dan greeted Luo Mo and told him to sit for a while, then walked quickly toward the kitchen. Luo Mo watched her Back Shadow, watching the sway of her hips as her legs moved quickly, and at that moment he realized: "Cao Cao really knew his stuff."
He took a rough look; this layout was clearly a large flat-floor apartment.
The living room and open kitchen combined were over a hundred square meters, and when multiplied by the property price he had just checked, this apartment was simply outrageous!
Just at this moment, Luo Mo heard the sound of a dog barking, and it was the kind that didn't sound very friendly.
He looked down and was amused.
"Isn't this a Husky-Corgi mix?" He hadn't expected Ning Dan to actually keep a dog like this.
The Husky-Corgi mix is a cross between the home-demolition expert, the Husky, and the short-legged Corgi.
It looked like a Husky and also like a Corgi, but its legs were of the very, very short kind.
It's quite magical; in this world, some mixed breeds are worthless, but some, because the cross-breeding effect is so good, might even command a higher price.
Ning Dan, who was in the open kitchen, looked back and said, "Follow-Me, shut up."
The dog immediately stopped barking; it seemed well-trained.
Ning Dan looked at Luo Mo and said, "Find a place to sit first, dinner will be ready soon. It doesn't bite; it's just that not many people come to the house on weekdays, so it's a novelty."
"Alrighty." Luo Mo felt he had something to do.
He sat down on the sofa, looked at the Husky-Corgi mix, and said, "Your name is Follow-Me? Not welcoming me?"
People are sometimes so strange; even knowing that one cannot communicate with animals, they still love to talk to them.
Seeing the dog's hostile expression, Luo Mo began to extend his magic claws.
He had a unique technique for petting a Cat, and he also had a different set of methods for petting a dog.
By the time Ning Dan walked out of the kitchen carrying dishes, she saw her Husky-Corgi mix, which usually hated strangers, lying on the floor with its back against the carpet, two paws hooked in the air, tongue lolling out to the side, looking submissive and well-behaved, trying to get more massages by acting cute.
Luo Mo looked at it, with only one thought in his mind: "Huh, this dog has been neutered."
He instantly sent it a look of sympathy, no longer holding its previous rudeness against it, and even gently rubbed its head.
Ning Dan placed the dishes on the dining table and said, "Wash your hands, let's eat."
Luo Mo nodded, and after washing his hands, he looked at the dishes on the table.
At least from the presentation, it looked very good.
Not bad, Ning Dao; you can handle the parlor and the kitchen, and your work ability is also top-tier in the industry.
"It's just the two of us, so I didn't make too much," Ning Dan smiled and handed a pair of chopsticks to Luo Mo.
Then she looked down and noticed that her dog wasn't following her, but was sitting beside Luo Mo, looking up at this man with an expectant expression.
"Follow-Me seems to like you," Ning Dan said, somewhat surprised.
"Why is it named Follow-Me?" Luo Mo felt the name had a bit of personality.
Ning Dan said, "I was accompanying a friend to a pet store to buy a dog earlier. She thought this Husky-Corgi mix was quite cute, so she asked the clerk to let it out to play for a bit. As it turned out, it ignored everyone else and just kept following me. Then my friend bought the dog and gave it to me, so I just named it Follow-Me."
Luo Mo nodded; it was just as casual as his own naming logic. Back then, seeing that Baibaibai didn't have a single strand of mixed-colored fur on its body, he felt that calling it "Little White" was a bit cliché, so he named it Baibaibai.
Since they were eating at home, Ning Dan chatted about some more everyday topics, saying: "Have you ever kept any pets?"
Luo Mo nodded and said: "I kept a cat."
After saying this, he lowered his head to pick up a piece of vegetable heart with his chopsticks, adding: "But I lost it."
……..
……..
Ning Dan was truly a woman who was good at interacting with others; throughout the meal, it could be said that they had a very pleasant conversation.
In fact, since participating in the program, Luo Mo had never thought that one day he would be sitting at Ning Dan's dining table, eating and chatting.
If the rumor that Wang Shisong was interested in Ning Dan was true, then if he knew about this, he might just explode on the spot.
Don't think that only young people feel extremely unhappy when they see an old man appearing beside someone they like. Old men feel just as unhappy when they see young people.
Ning Dan looked at Luo Mo and said: "You're not stuffed, are you? Want a drink?"
Since this was considered a private celebration for the two of them, they should have a little drink.
In reality, Ning Dan had a slight addiction to alcohol; she wasn't an alcoholic, but she often drank half a glass of red wine before bed, which allowed her to have better sleep quality.
Over time, it had become a lifestyle habit.
Luo Mo did not refuse and followed Ning Dan to the wine room in her home.
He hadn't toured the entire flat earlier, but now as he followed Ning Dan inside, a conservative estimate was that the flat was at least 350 square meters.
Ning Dan had a specially designed semi-open glass wine room in her home, and the three glass walls were filled with all kinds of red wine.
Some brands Luo Mo recognized, while others he hadn't even heard of.
Because his family ran a small restaurant, Luo Mo had a basic understanding of wine prices; of course, it was mostly limited to low-to-mid-range wines.
He had also seen the reports provided by wine merchants regarding high-end wine prices, but he hadn't taken them too much to heart.
He saw Ning Dan walk to a glass wall; she didn't just grab a bottle of wine, but instead made a selection from the entire wine wall.
Luo Mo felt that this woman might just take a six-figure bottle of red wine off the wall.
Consequently, Luo Mo walked to Ning Dan's side and took down the specific red wine that had the largest quantity on the wine wall.
A large quantity meant this was what Ning Dan drank often.
"Ning Dao, let's go with this one." Luo Mo lowered his head to examine this bottle of red wine produced in '82.
It was just that this world was different from Earth, so there was no such thing as the '82 red wine that was supposedly very precious on Earth yet somehow never ran out.
Ning Dan glanced at him, smiled, and said: "This is what I drink often; it suits my palate better."
"The corkscrew is on the table, you open it, I'll go get the decanter and wine glasses," Ning Dan said.
Luo Mo nodded and began to operate it, while Ning Dan squatted down and opened the cabinet where the wine accessories were kept in the wine room.
Luo Mo glanced at her and saw that because Ning Dan was squatting, her silk trousers appeared even more form-fitting, revealing the curves of her round and perky buttocks to the fullest. Such a stunner—it was no wonder Wang Shisong was tempted.
After pouring the red wine into the decanter, while it was breathing, Ning Dan chatted with Luo Mo: "Luo Mo, you should be staying in Shanghai for a long time, right? If I remember correctly, Xinyu is in Shanghai, and it's not far from here."
Luo Mo nodded and said: "Mm, that's right."
"Has Xinyu arranged a place for you to stay?" Ning Dan asked.
Luo Mo shook his head and said: "Not yet, and I'd rather find a place I like myself."
Ning Dan poured wine for Luo Mo, and not knowing if she was joking or serious, said: "I actually have a vacant apartment in this residential complex, just downstairs."
"The houses here are all sold as fully furnished units, and I've bought the basic furniture, so you can just move in with your bags. Try living here for a year and see if you like it," Ning Dan said to Luo Mo.
Nowadays, many high-end residential complexes are popular in the fully furnished format because many people are troubled by their neighbors' renovations, and if many households are renovating, the complex won't be clean, and the elevator areas will be a mess.
Luo Mo tasted the red wine in his glass and said with a smile: "Ning Dao just paid me my salary today, and you already want me to take it back out?"
He did not respond directly.
Ning Dan took a small sip of wine and said: "No need to call me Ning Dao every time. I'm not your General Director now; you can just call me Sister Ning."
She looked at Luo Mo and said: "Actually, I'm just using this small matter to trade for a favor from you; I want you to do me a favor."
"What favor?" Luo Mo asked.
Ning Dan drank the remaining red wine in her glass in one gulp; her alcohol tolerance was very good, so her complexion remained normal as she said: "Penguin is communicating with me. You still have one variety show contract with me, right? Penguin's intention is that they want you to sing the full version of 'Gentle' on that show."
'Creating Idols' had already ended. Luo Mo had contributed so many high-quality songs to this program, but the song 'Gentle' from his first stage had never had a full version released!
With his current popularity, if he went to participate in another variety show as a guest for one episode, the buzz would absolutely be explosive.
If they added the gimmick that he would bring the full version of 'Gentle' to the show, it would definitely be even more effective at whetting the audience's appetite, and perhaps it could raise the entire program's popularity by a level!
Among other things, it wasn't just because of Luo Mo's popularity and the energy of this song, but also because he still hadn't officially debuted, and his fans and many casual fans were eagerly waiting for new news about him.
The industry's attention on him was also extremely high.
Admittedly, Penguin and Ning Dan had treated Luo Mo quite well; if they directly made the request, Luo Mo certainly wouldn't refuse in order to repay the previous favor.
Penguin was willing to use it in this way, but Ning Dan was not.
Therefore, if Luo Mo agreed, it would be considered even with Penguin, but with Ning Dan, it would only add a layer of personal connection.
Luo Mo could also analyze some of the things behind this.
If they lived upstairs and downstairs from each other, there would be more interaction in the future, and a bridge of friendship would be built.
The 'Female Landlady' series.
After thinking about it, Luo Mo agreed.
He would definitely buy his own place in Shanghai in the future, and where he rented now was just a matter of personal preference. The overall environment and privacy here were indeed very much to his liking; otherwise, he wouldn't have looked up the housing prices.
Ning Dan did not continue to delve into this matter; this woman always had a perfect grasp of boundaries.
This made Luo Mo understand more and more why many big shots in the circle had long coveted Ning Dan.
She had ability, resources, status, charm, and a great figure, and she also seemed to be a proponent of remaining unmarried and didn't want to have children.
For many conceited men, they would view her as the ultimate target for a lover.
Once such a woman was conquered, the level of mental pleasure would reach the peak.
After three rounds of drinks, a slight flush finally appeared on Ning Dan's fair face.
This made her look even more charming.
She leaned back in her chair, gently swirling her red wine glass with her other hand, and looked at Luo Mo with slightly hazy eyes, saying: "Pineapple is already preparing the first album for NINE-T. Do you have any thoughts on this?"
Luo Mo was an expert; he knew very well that in the music industry, many companies liked to compete against each other, as it was more convenient for hyping up popularity.
If Luo Mo and the boy group with Shen Mingliu released albums at the same time, good heavens, they would probably become regulars on the Weibo Hot Search again.
However, Luo Mo had little interest in this.
To him, "Creating Idols," which was full of trainees, was a bit like a Newbie Village.
This "Great Demon King" who was participating in the talent show while getting paid had already slaughtered the entire Newbie Village.
For Shen Mingliu and the others to have finally walked out of the Newbie Village, only to be blocked at the door by the Great Demon King and slaughtered all over again... that would be a bit too miserable.
Honestly, the grudge with Pineapple had been formed long ago, but Luo Mo didn't think there was any point in bullying a defeated opponent again.
Doing so might even let them leech off his future popularity; that would be a huge loss.
"Newbie matters, let the newbies handle them," Luo Mo said in his heart.
He looked at Ning Dan, took a sip of the red wine in his glass, and said: "I plan to produce an album for Tong Shu at that time."
Ning Dan looked at the young man before her, feeling slightly dazed.
He was going to let his own protégé fight against the nine of them, while he himself watched from the sidelines.
Was it confidence, or arrogance?
But it had to be said, Ning Dan felt that if she were a few years younger, she would indeed have been attracted by the certain spirit this young man was displaying at this moment.
If such a competition could still be won...
Ning Dan could already imagine what kind of expression would be on that greasy, ugly face of Wang Shisong.
Most importantly, if NINE-T still lost such a competition, the commercial value of this boy group would be greatly discounted!
And as the producer and songwriter behind Tong Shu, the value of Luo Mo's existence would soar to the skies!
It was just that Tong Shu's popularity couldn't compare to Luo Mo's own, so this was destined to be a tough battle.
"Then I will wait and see," she said, raising her glass to look at Luo Mo.
Luo Mo raised his hand to clink glasses with her, his expression relaxed.
Well, although she was no longer that age, and she didn't know if it was the effect of the alcohol, the atmosphere, or the fact that he was indeed born good-looking and possessed an indescribable temperament, Ning Dan had to admit that she had also been dazed for a moment.
Intuition told her that the young man before her might be a disaster for many women in the industry.

Additionally, I recommend a new book by the female-oriented Great God "Piaodang Melbourne," "Part-time Idol": If you like someone, you should bully them for a lifetime.
If you have any spare female-oriented monthly tickets, you can give them to her.)
