Chapter 148

Li Yang gave Ding Shan a meaningful look. This little girl was quite surprising. She had initially thought that Yang Hua had spoiled her. Under unreasonable long-term control, although she had the intention to resist, it was inevitable that her personality would be affected.

From the beginning, Chen Tong had deliberately ignored and ostracized Ding Shan. Li Yang could feel all of this, but she did not care.

After all, Ding Shan was not very close to her, so there was no need for her to get involved. She did not want to embarrass Ding Shan too much, so she initiated a conversation to liven up the atmosphere.

What Li Yang did not expect was that Chen Tong seemed to hold a grudge against Ding Shan. She was full of malice and was unwilling to let it go. She kept speaking rudely, ridiculing that Ding Shan had come to participate in the variety show. As for Ding Shan? She also changed from her initial silence and started to fight back.

!!

Ding Shan’s way of fighting back made Li Yang’s impression of Ding Shan even better.

In the entertainment industry, being too honest meant that one would be bullied. However, few good people were willing to protect a righteous person’s self-esteem kindly. In this kind of Vanity Fair, honesty meant that one was easy to bully and could be used.

However, if one were too rigid, one would also be disadvantaged. One had to know that it was easy to break if one was too harsh. If one’s temper were too hard and too foul, one would sooner or later offend others and be caught by others.

Li Yang was very optimistic about Ding Shan’s handling of the situation. Chen Tong had provoked her many times, but Ding Shan had tolerated it. This proved that she was magnanimous and bighearted. When she retaliated, she also grasped her limits. She did not shed all the pretense of politeness and gave Chen Tong a warning; her words were watertight. Whether true or false, she had said everything that needed to be said.

No matter what, Ding Shan was still a movie queen. Even if she had crossed over to participate in variety shows, there was no reason for her to be bullied by a newly debuted variety star.

Li Yang looked at Ding Shan with admiration. This time, she said from the bottom of her heart, “Ding Shan, you are indeed a good seedling.”

Acting alone was not enough. Only people like Ding Shan, who had strength, emotional intelligence, and a temper, could stay in the entertainment industry for a long time. Ding Shan now had the potential to become a superstar in the future.

Ding Shan looked at Li Yang apologetically. She felt a little apologetic for bickering with Chen Tong in front of her senior. “Sister Li, sorry to disturb you.”

Li Yang smiled and shook her head. She gave Ding Shan a comforting look, indicating that she did not care about these things.

Then, she turned her head to look at Chen Tong and smiled. Li Yang had seen many minor celebrities who could not stand the loneliness and wanted to climb up the ranks but could not bear to see others being good.

However, no matter what, Chen Tong could be considered to have some ability. Among the female artistes, regardless of whether she used tricks or had an actual ability, she still had some fame. Yin Hui invited her to be a mentor. For the program to be broadcast smoothly, she had no choice but to maintain her good looks.

Li Yang’s expression was icy, but she said warmly, “Ding Shan is right. Chen Tong, you have debuted in a talent show. I remember that your ranking is not bad. You are young and promising. I have never participated in a variety show before. Speaking of which, I am not even considered to have crossed the border. If there are things that you don’t understand, you have to teach me.”

Chen Tong was a little nervous when she heard that. She could not be bothered to sulk anymore. She quickly explained, “Sister Li, I didn’t mean that. You are a senior. How many A-list artistes have you trained before? Why would you need me to teach you anything? I’m not talking about you…”

The more she explained, the messier it got. She was about to admit that she had said it on purpose just now. Chen Tong was so anxious that her face turned red.

Ding Shan sneered, but she looked at Li Yang as if she was deep in thought.

Li Yang’s words just now were intended to smooth things over. She had to give her some face no matter what. Coincidentally, Li Yang turned her head and gave Ding Shan a look. Ding Shan silently turned her head and didn’t say anything.

Then, Li Yang smiled and continued to say to Chen Tong, “What’s the big deal? The three of you have been invited by Director Yin to be mentors. We have to put in all our effort and work together. Once the show is done, there will naturally be a lot of benefits. It’s not impossible to rely on this to become popular. I, as a manager, don’t care about these things. You have to work hard!”

Li Yang smiled. She looked like a peacemaker, but her tone was significant. It was also a good opportunity for Chen Tong to grasp a lifeline. Chen Tong wanted to become more popular than anyone else.

Chen Tong’s anger subsided, and a smile hung on her face again. “Yes, President Yin’s preparation this time was perfect. I also agreed to come because I saw this point.”

Li Yang nodded. “Then I’ll look forward to your performance. Don’t ruin the big event because of some little emotions. That won’t make up for the loss.”
