Chapter 1514: Chapter 1510: Human Nature Is Always Practical
"In the past, I always thought that since I was so nice to people, to everyone, they would ultimately respect me, but no, when I hit rock bottom, everyone couldn’t wait to stay far away. Later on, I worked hard, was no longer the nice guy, and then, out of the blue, I listened to Yahui and took on this web series. It didn’t pay much, and I didn’t expect it to become popular, but it did become popular. Now it’s amusing; I’m indifferent to them, yet they’re coming to me, saying we’re brothers, congratulating me on overcoming hardships. Yes, I’ve overcome them, but it has nothing to do with them. It was me who overcame my struggles; when I was suffering, they were just standing by and watching."
Ye Ning laughed along with him.
She never believed that being a goody-two-shoes was right.
She always acted according to her nature—you’re good to me, I’ll be good to you; if you’re not, I won’t bother with you.
Even if it made her seem less sociable.
But she’s always been that way, willful.
Never liked to flatter anyone proactively.
And never needed to.
Si Wenyu said, "I originally thought I’d spend my life casually making a bit of money with random gigs because... after all, there was that scandal in the past. But surprisingly, once I became popular, nothing seemed to matter anymore... So sometimes, reality is like that, right? It’s not because you’re a good person that people will treat you well, but because you’re competent that people will treat you well."
Ye Ning said, "That’s probably how most people are, but of course, good people will still be liked by more people."
"But you’re different, Ye Ning. Back then, when I couldn’t afford a nanny, it was you who gave me a job, at least providing me with some income. Really, I always remember that, and then Yahui, she chose to stand by me during my hardest times. These made me understand that sometimes, it’s really enough to just be good to the people around you."
Ye Ning patted him on the shoulder, "Go and be the groom, with so many reflections."
"Yeah, just seeing you makes me reflect," he said. "I saw the news, you’re different. When you come back, there will be lots of opportunities because you have that kind of charisma."
"You’re making me feel flattered," she laughed.
He said, "Yahui is inside, you should go see her."
"Okay."
Ye Ning went inside, and He Yahui was still at the dressing table, doing the final touch-ups.
As soon as she saw Ye Ning, she stood up.
She looked Ye Ning over and exclaimed, "Wow, your mishap..."
Ye Ning spread her hands and shrugged, "What about it?"
"You’ve become more enchanting, what else?" She walked over, dragging her wedding dress, and twirled Ye Ning around, holding her hand, "What’s going on, your skin looks so good, and you seem so energized."
Of course, when the body is well, one naturally feels energetic.
"Really, maybe it’s a blessing in disguise."
"Haha."
He Yahui looked at her, thinking how could someone of such talent go out of style?
After all, this industry is pragmatic.
The face still holds importance.
Ye Ning also told her about the drama.
He Yahui took her hand and said, "I think Zhang Zhiyou makes sense. Since he thinks the drama is good, it probably won’t be bad. Though it’s a bit risky, don’t you love risks?"
Ye Ning said, "Alright, you’re right, but I haven’t had time to read the script yet. I’ll look over it later to see if I can act in it."
