Chapter 145

Someone came to look for Yin Hui and asked him to go over the stage effects again. Yin Hui left in a hurry and reminded him again before he left, “Ding Shan, you’re my trump card this time. If there’s anything inconvenient, just tell me directly. Little Liu will share it with you!”

After saying that, he looked at little Liu meaningfully. Little Liu understood and quickly replied, “I promise to take good care of teacher Ding Shan!”

Yin Hui smiled and left.

Ding Shan smiled and said to Xiao Liu, “Don’t be so nervous. I’m not that serious. Just call me Ding Shan.”

!!

Xiao Liu shook his head. “I will call you teacher Ding Shan. You were originally invited to be a mentor. Everyone will call you that. You don’t have to be so polite. This is a show of respect.”

Ding Shan’s personality was outstanding. She did not act like a big shot because of her status as a movie queen. However, this was how the entertainment industry was. They bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Xiao Liu was worried that if Ding Shan were too approachable, she would be bullied. Hence, he decided to emphasize Ding Shan’s status as a mentor.

Ding Shan did not insist further. She knew very well that this was how the industry was. People who did not have much ability would call them teachers for the sake of their faces. There was no real meaning to it. They were just polite, and there was nothing to be conflicted about.

Xiao Liu led Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao to the dressing room. “Teacher Ding Shan, go and apply your makeup first. I’ll send your luggage off.”

Ding Shan had already removed her makeup from the shoot earlier. Her stage makeup was thicker than usual, so she had to prepare earlier.

Xiao Zhao walked forward. “Sorry to trouble you. I’ll accompany Sister Shan to apply her makeup.”

Little Liu replied in a crisp voice, “Alright, you can go straight and use the makeup room!” After saying that, he dragged her luggage upstairs.

Yin Hui was very generous. He rented a building. The dormitory, dining hall, and practice room were all available. There were several filming locations and large-scale stages. It took several months to build and was both luxurious and grand. It completely satisfied the daily lives of hundreds of people, including the artistes and staff. When the recording officially started, it became sealed.

Xiao Zhao accompanied Ding Shan to the makeup room. When they entered, they saw that people were already applying makeup inside. Coincidentally, one of them was Chen Tong.

At this moment, Chen Tong was chatting and laughing with the woman beside her. She was laughing so hard that she looked very intimate.

Ding Shan took a look. The other person should be the gold-medal manager. The three female coaches were arranged to apply makeup here together.

When the two people in the room heard the sound, they turned around. The atmosphere became a little strange when they saw Ding Shan, who had entered.

Ding Shan smiled and nodded, greeting them.

Ding Shan did not know either of them, so there was nothing to be polite about. Moreover, at the moment, Ding Shan’s news was causing a stir in the circle. Many people also maintained a wait-and-see attitude toward Ding Shan. There were even some people who secretly had a lot of opinions about Ding Shan. Chen Tong was one of them.

She came early and acted very familiar with the manager. Ding Shan did not have to go and ask for trouble.

After greeting her, Ding Shan did not lack etiquette. She walked to the empty makeup table by herself.

The makeup room was huge. There were too many items for the artistes, so everyone had plenty of space. Ding Shan sat in her seat and did not interfere with the others, saving a lot of awkwardness.

Chen Tong had been watching Ding Shan’s movements the whole time. When she saw that Ding Shan had gone to the other side with a simple greeting, she silently rolled her eyes. She did not have a good eye. It was okay if she did not take her seriously. The senior manager of the industry was here, but she still had that indifferent look on her face. What was she pretending to be aloof for? What was there to be proud of with so much dirt on her?

Chen Tong’s heart was not in balance, and she did not want to initiate a conversation with Ding Shan, so she took the initiative to get closer to the manager. “Sister Li, tell me, our current job is not easy. We work diligently, and the heat will be stolen if we’re not careful. Everyone loves to watch gossip now and doesn’t pay attention to the work anymore.”

After saying that, she shot a meaningful glance at Ding Shan. Her words were full of hostility, and everyone present could tell she was talking about Ding Shan.

Ding Shan pretended not to hear her and even pulled Xiao Zhao, telling her not to be rash.

The other party only dared to scold her this way, and she had no ability. If she got angry at this time, she would fall into her trap. She would say that she was guilty and that she was right. She did not dare to scold her directly, so she would just pretend that she did not hear it.
