Rebirth in Showbiz: How to Win the Showbiz Emperor's Heart?

Chapter 725: Chapter 725: The Ugly Side of Human Nature

Tong Yan nodded, said nothing else, just patted her shoulder. "Yu, no matter what, I’m on your side, I’ll help you." Even if she couldn’t help, her man certainly could!

Her man was quite the big deal!

Why wouldn’t it be okay!

This was the cry from the depth of Tong Xiaopang’s heart.

Jiang Yu thought of Young Master Mo, or Mo God, and felt a lot more at ease. Even back then, under the tight surveillance of her brother, and considering C City was dominated by her brother, Mo God still managed to take her to such a remote place. If they were to shoot in Beijing, it should be fine.

"Sister Yanyan, I’m counting on you."

Tong Yan patted her chest, "No problem."

Having solved her biggest worry, Jiang Yu felt much relieved. Suddenly leaving, there must be a lot of things to take care of, especially in terms of teaching, which couldn’t be abandoned halfway. She had to think of a solution and notify each family personally.

Jiang Yu originally planned to spend her own money to hire a teacher from outside, since teaching couldn’t be abandoned halfway; she explained all this to the villagers, but didn’t expect their reaction would be so intense.

"I disagree, Teacher Jiang cannot leave!"

"Yes, I disagree too. It’s so remote here, nobody would come even if you paid them. Stop fooling us!"

"You cannot leave, we won’t let you go!"

They were all clamoring not to let her leave.

How could they agree to let her go? It was hard enough to get someone to teach, she had to stay and keep teaching.

Some villagers even went to her place and took away everything, including the script.

Jiang Yu was dumbfounded, totally unprepared for such a reaction from the villagers. The purity of the past had vanished; they all seemed possessed, emotional, holding tools like hoes and sickles, ready to desperately prevent her from leaving.

"Sister Yanyan, what should we do? They were all so nice to me before," Jiang Yu, frightened, clung tightly to Tong Yan’s hand; how could things turn like this just because she mentioned leaving.

Tong Yan looked at the villagers and sneered, "Human nature is selfish; when their vested interests are hurt, the dark side emerges."

Before, they were kind to Jiang Yu because she helped them and benefited them.

Now, with their interests at stake, the problem was exposed.

Tong Yan had read reports about the viciousness of villagers deep in the mountains, thinking it was a joke, but now she saw it for herself.

Jiang Yu looked at them and felt all the words said before were a kind of mockery; all those talks about the pureness and kindness of villagers felt like a slap to her face.

"You obediently go back, we won’t let you return."

Was this like a disguised imprisonment?

Tong Yan sneered, "Aren’t you ashamed to do this? Jiang Yu is not obliged to teach you. She teaches you because she is kind; she doesn’t have to, that’s normal. Do you really see yourselves as someone important? Why not take a good look at yourselves, do you measure up?"

These words instantly angered the villagers, "How can you talk like that? Who doesn’t finish what they started? She should teach and then leave. We’re not in the wrong! You cannot leave!"

"Finish teaching? What counts as truly finishing? Does she have to take on all your studies? It’s clear that it’s not abandoning halfway; we’ll find another teacher to come teach you, yet you treat kindness as ill intention!" Tong Yan was so infuriated by them that she swore without reservation.
