âTheyâve gotten the upper hand and have the limelight once again! Are we just going to sit here and die? I donât care. You have to find me a talented planner! We have to poach one over no matter how much it costs!â Yun Liu ordered.
Tan Ning couldnât help but ask, âYun Liu, why bother getting into such petty feuds with Shi Xiu? Your target has never been Shi Xiu but Yun Nan! Yun Nan is already a famous director. Donât tell me you want to be an actress forever. Do you know how famous you have to be as an actress to stand on equal footing with Yun Nan?â
Yun Liuâs expression suddenly darkened. âYou mean Iâll never be famous enough to be on equal footing with Yun Nan? Are you saying Iâm not qualified to be compared to her?â
Tan Ningâs expression also turned cold as she replied, âThatâs not what I meant!â
âThen what DO you mean? Youâre all looking down on me! All of you! Whether itâs the Yun family, the Gu family, or youâyou all look down on me! You all think Iâm not as good as Yun Nanâthat I canât compare to herâdonât you?â Yun Liu roared hysterically and swept everything on her desk to the ground.
Tan Ning composedly stared at Yun Liu, found a safe corner, and sat down. Sheâd seen many artistes who would never amount to much in all her years working in the entertainment industry, and Yun Liu was one of them. Tan Ning could still sit here and tolerate the girl right now because of her background, which she could use to help achieve her goals one day. However, Tan Ning wasnât one to spoil or enable others. Yun Liu had to change her bad habits. Tan Ning never bothered wasting her breath on those who didnât learn.
When sheâd vented enough, Yun Liu sat down on her chair and panted, the makeup on her face long ruined. Tan Ning then languidly stood and walked up to Yun Liu before she detachedly stated, âYou know very well the gap between you and Yun Nan, but you have the ambition to surpass her. I support you and will do my best to get you resources and assist you. But I donât like emotionally unstable people! Come find me when youâve properly thought about what you want.â
Tan Ning turned around, and Yun Liu quickly grabbed her hand and said anxiously, âTan Ning, donât go! Iâll do anything you say!â
Tan Ning smiled coldly, but that coldness instantly disappeared when she turned back around, and her voice softened. âWhat are you so anxious about? Youâre the young lady the Yun family dotes on, and the young miss the Gu family has publicly acknowledged and written into the family tree.â
âYour status canât compare to Shi Xiuâs, but your background is stronger than everyone elseâs in the entertainment industry. so why must von choose to
compare yourself to Shi Xiu? Everyone knows itâs impossible for Shi Xiu to stay in the entertainment industry forever, so why not bide your time, improve yourself while her popularity is running high, and wait for your moment to shine?â
Yun Liu hesitated and unconfidently asked, âDo you think I can make it big?â
âWhy not?â Tan Ning responded as she sat down. âHave you given up on Liang Han so easily? Did just one or two rejections hurt your self-esteem? This grievance now is nothing compared to becoming the wife of the Liang familyâs youngest and most favored son.â
She continued, âLook at Lin Yu. You saw how many people are mocking her to her face and behind her back, but she endured it all for so many years to marry in the Xi family and has finally become the true young madam of the Xi family. You can be the next Lin Yu if you have her determination and patience.â
Yun Liuâs spirits lifted, and she muttered, âLin Yu hinted at a collaboration with me, but I didnât pay it much attention. I donât know if itâs too late to contact her now.â
âI donât think thereâs anything to be late for. Lin Yuâs the most patient and forbearing person Iâve ever met. She offered a partnership with you, so naturally, she wants to put you in a higher position because not only will that fulfill your wish, but itâll also put you in a better position to help her. Yun Liu, why donât you calm down and cooperate with someone whoâs truly beneficial to you instead of getting into pointless disputes with Yun Nan and Shi Xiu?â
Enlightened, Yun Liu nodded. âI understand, Tan Ning!â
Tan Ning secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Still slightly discontented, Yun Liu stated, âBut Yun Nan and the others are making a documentary and invited all guests from Wu Wei Residence in the show âEmbracing Lifé back then for interviews and even reserved a whole section of the documentary for them. She invited everyone but me. Itâd be very awkward if someone asked about that. Wouldnât that confirm the rumors that Iâm not on good terms with them?â
Tan Ning smirked coldly. âYou werenât the one who made things tense between you guys. If anyone asks, just say youâre too busy filming to go for the interview, but Yun Nan and the others didnât discuss it with you either. You donât know whatâs going on. Perhaps you werenât invited because they donât like you!â
âYun Liu, you have to learn to make fun of yourself. Self-mockery is the highest form of wit. If you say those things about yourself, others wonât be able to say anything. Moreover, itâll arouse the publicâs sympathy and help you gain favorability.â
Yun Liuâs eyes lit up when she heard that.. âYeah, youâre right! Why didnât I think of that?â
