“They’ve gotten the upper hand and have the limelight once again! Are we just going to sit here and die? I don’t care. You have to find me a talented planner! We have to poach one over no matter how much it costs!” Yun Liu ordered.
Tan Ning couldn’t help but ask, “Yun 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. Don’t 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?”
Yun Liu’s expression suddenly darkened. “You mean I’ll never be famous enough to be on equal footing with Yun Nan? Are you saying I’m not qualified to be compared to her?”
Tan Ning’s expression also turned cold as she replied, “That’s not what I meant!”
“Then what DO you mean? You’re all looking down on me! All of you! Whether it’s the Yun family, the Gu family, or you—you all look down on me! You all think I’m not as good as Yun Nan—that I can’t compare to her—don’t you?” 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. She’d 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 wasn’t one to spoil or enable others. Yun Liu had to change her bad habits. Tan Ning never bothered wasting her breath on those who didn’t learn.
When she’d 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, “You 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 don’t like emotionally unstable people! Come find me when you’ve properly thought about what you want.”
Tan Ning turned around, and Yun Liu quickly grabbed her hand and said anxiously, “Tan Ning, don’t go! I’ll do anything you say!”
Tan Ning smiled coldly, but that coldness instantly disappeared when she turned back around, and her voice softened. “What are you so anxious about? You’re the young lady the Yun family dotes on, and the young miss the Gu family has publicly acknowledged and written into the family tree.”
“Your status can’t compare to Shi Xiu’s, but your background is stronger than everyone else’s in the entertainment industry. so why must von choose to
compare yourself to Shi Xiu? Everyone knows it’s 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?”
Yun Liu hesitated and unconfidently asked, “Do you think I can make it big?”
“Why not?” Tan Ning responded as she sat down. “Have 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 family’s youngest and most favored son.”
She continued, “Look 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.”
Yun Liu’s spirits lifted, and she muttered, “Lin Yu hinted at a collaboration with me, but I didn’t pay it much attention. I don’t know if it’s too late to contact her now.”
“I don’t think there’s anything to be late for. Lin Yu’s the most patient and forbearing person I’ve 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 it’ll also put you in a better position to help her. Yun Liu, why don’t you calm down and cooperate with someone who’s truly beneficial to you instead of getting into pointless disputes with Yun Nan and Shi Xiu?”
Enlightened, Yun Liu nodded. “I understand, Tan Ning!”
Tan Ning secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Still slightly discontented, Yun Liu stated, “But Yun Nan and the others are making a documentary and invited all guests from Wu Wei Residence in the show ‘Embracing Lifé back then for interviews and even reserved a whole section of the documentary for them. She invited everyone but me. It’d be very awkward if someone asked about that. Wouldn’t that confirm the rumors that I’m not on good terms with them?”
Tan Ning smirked coldly. “You weren’t the one who made things tense between you guys. If anyone asks, just say you’re too busy filming to go for the interview, but Yun Nan and the others didn’t discuss it with you either. You don’t know what’s going on. Perhaps you weren’t invited because they don’t like you!”
“Yun 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 won’t be able to say anything. Moreover, it’ll arouse the public’s sympathy and help you gain favorability.”
Yun Liu’s eyes lit up when she heard that.. ‘Yeah, you’re right! Why didn’t I think of that?”
