Chapter 216. Do as You Please
Chen Tong understood that unless something happened that made her boss tired of her and the company abandoned her, she would be asking for trouble if she wanted to be independent.
But if that was the case, even if she went solo, she might still be able to stay in the industry if she was lucky. She would not be treated like she was now. And if she was unlucky and her boss thought of it, she could be banned just like that.
While enjoying the convenience of taking the shortcut, she had also blocked her way out.
...
So how could Chen Tong not be angry? Even jealous! Why was Ding Shan so lucky to have money and to open her studio? She was sitting here and mocking her so freely!
Chen Tong's eyes turned red as she simultaneously felt sad for herself and hated Ding Shan.
Xiao Zhao was still angry and continued to add, "And miss Chen's memory can't be that bad, right? Our sister Shan had just joined the program, and a dress brand already came to sponsor her. Your eyes were sharp. Miss Chen might have a lot of endorsements, but she's always wanted to exchange dresses with our sister Shan. Obviously, endorsements and sponsorships are not about the number of endorsements, but the value of the sponsorship."
Chen Tong was utterly at a disadvantage. She was so embarrassed by Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao's words that she couldn't even show her face. Initially, she just wanted to walk around Ding Shan's place, show off a little, and inquire about Ding Shan's situation.
She did not expect that she would have a bad start. As soon as she reached the door, she could vaguely hear Ding Shan's voice. However, the sound insulation of the door was not inadequate, and Chen Tong only heard Wen Xiu's name. She said something about prevention before a disaster happened. Xiao Zhao opened the door just as she was about to get closer.
After that, she was repeatedly mocked by Ding Shan and her sharp-tongued assistant. Every word was directed at Chen Tong's sore spot, and Chen Tong almost couldn't help but cry.
But how could Chen Tong allow herself to be so embarrassed?
She gritted her teeth and pretended to be nonchalant. She continued to act coquettishly toward Ding Shan. "You're right, sister Shan. Everyone knows that you're beautiful. You don't need so many external things to be radiant. Also, sister Shan doesn't seem to care about these external things. Then, let me have your room. I'm not as natural as you, sister Shan. I can only bring more things to dress myself up."
Chen Tong was able to get to where she was today at such a young age. It wasn't just that she was stupid enough to lose her temper and offend people. It was all a bad habit that she developed after receiving protection.
Before this, she was intelligent and good at showing weakness and analyzing people's thoughts. She had a little trickery: she knew how to use her own advantages to quickly stand on the weak side and raise the other party up high. In the end, she unwillingly falls into her trap for the sake of her face.
To put it bluntly, it was moral kidnapping.
But she had forgotten that Ding Shan didn't like to be threatened by others. After her rebirth, she became even more rebellious and free-spirited.
It was not going to work in front of Ding Shan.
Ding Shan's expression didn't change as she asked matter-of-factly, "I don't care about worldly possessions. Then what's the point of being a star? Wouldn't it be easier to go to the mountain and become a Daoist nun? Miss Chen, you've misjudged me. I'm the one who loves pleasure the most, and I'm also very eager to win. If I participate in the competition, I'll believe in winning. Miss Chen, you have to be careful."
She stood up and stretched before continuing, "As for the room, I am fine with it, but I can not disappoint President Yin's good intentions. He specially arranged a room for me, and I can only accept it. I'm also tired, so I'll go back to the bedroom to catch up on my sleep. Miss Chen, please help yourself."
After that, Ding Shan ignored Chen Tong and opened the bedroom door on the side.
As the bedroom door closed with a "click," Chen Tong's face was hideous.
Every time, Ding Shan would use the method of 'lifting a thousand catties with little effort,' using an attitude of disdain to lower herself to her level, ignoring her, mocking her; this was even more unbearable than scolding her in her face or hitting her!
Xiao Zhao chuckled at the side. When dealing with people like Chen Tong, it was useless to use force. She would only be more unreasonable than you and make a scene. It would be better to play dumb and let her ask to be snubbed, preventing her from complaining and acting pitiful.
There was nothing wrong with sister Shan's words, but her attitude was enough to make Chen Tong feel uncomfortable for a long time.
Chapter 217. I've Lost Too Much Face
"Miss Chen, sister Shan has gone to rest," Xiao Zhao asked deliberately. "Why don't I prepare something for you to drink? You can sit and rest for a while? "
Chen Tong glared at Xiao Zhao, her eyes almost spewing fire. "Who do you think you are? You're just a small assistant, yet you dare to treat me with this attitude?"
Xiao Zhao looked at Chen Tong calmly. "I haven't had the time to correct you. I'm now sister Shan's manager, representing her in all her affairs. Sister Shan's attitude is the same as mine."
...
Chen Zhao was so angry that she laughed. "I can't do anything to Ding Shan, but I can deal with you! Do you think Ding Shan is so kind? I'd like to see if your sister Shan will protect you if something happens to you."
Chen Tong was not willing to be repeatedly humiliated by Ding Shan. Even this little girl, who was not much older than her, dared to make her suffer. Was Ding Shan's team going crazy? If you want to do whatever you want in the entertainment industry, you must have the ability first!
Ding Shan had set up her studio, but her current situation might not be that good. She had just returned, and who knew what her future resources would be like?
Money has always been an essential thing in the entertainment industry. Chen Tong did not believe Ding Shan could grow three heads and six arms to handle everything. If anything happened to her as an agent, wouldn't Ding Shan sacrifice her life to protect the car?
Now that the two of them were echoing each other, it would be interesting if something happened.
Sincerity was the least valuable thing in the entertainment industry. Chen Tong despised Ding Shan for being able to make the people around her so obedient and willing to work for her. She, Ding Shan, was also a hypocrite!
Xiao Zhao was very calm. She even smiled and did not take Chen Tong's threat seriously. Miss Chen, my relationship with sister Shan is not afraid of anyone's instigation. Even if I make a mistake one day, I don't need sister Shan to protect me. I will resign voluntarily and apologize. I will not drag sister Shan down. Just because you can't feel sincerity doesn't mean this world has no gravity."
Xiao Zhao's eyes were firm as she looked straight into Chen Zhao's eyes.
Chen Tong's eyes were wide open, and her face was strange, "Are you crazy? Have you been brainwashed? It's too strange, Ding Shan and the rest of you, are you guys deliberately acting like you're so noble and aloof? Or do you think you can be a clear stream in the entertainment industry?"
Xiao Zhao smiled but did not say anything.
Chen Tong frowned and couldn't stay any longer.
Ding Shan returned to her room grandly and asked her to leave. If she continued to stay, it would be even more embarrassing. Moreover, Chen Tong was a little scared now. The feeling Ding Shan gave her these few times could almost be described as unbelievable.
The way she quarreled with her fearlessly and confidently, and even the manager beside her refused to give in. They were at loggerheads with her everywhere and even dared to threaten her. It didn't look like she had gone through a crisis at all. Could it be that she had someone backing her? Was that why the storm had calmed down so quickly and Ding Shan had won?
Chen Tong could not figure out what was going on. For the time being, she did not dare to make things difficult for Ding Shan. She constantly failed to gain any benefits. When Ding Shan's words angered her, Chen Tong felt it was boring.
Chen Tong rolled her eyes and walked away in her high heels.
Only then did Xiao Zhao relax. She also rolled her eyes and scolded in a low voice, "You're crazy!"
On the other side, Yin Hui surrounded Xiang Hong as if he were watching a good show. Seeing Xiang Hong's unhappy face, he laughed secretly.
Xiang Hong frowned impatiently. "If you keep laughing, you'll have to wait for death."
Yin Hui quickly covered his mouth and asked, "How is it? It felt good to be on stage for the first time, right? Tell me the truth, were you nervous?"
Xiang Hong sneered, "Nervous? Why? Your talent show is even better than the global top 500 enterprise summit? I don't even know nervousness when standing there and talking."
Yin Hui had a mischievous look. "How is that the same? Is there someone you like in the global top 500 enterprise summit?"
Xiang Hong was stunned for a moment before he replied with an unnatural expression, "Don't talk nonsense."
Yin Hui laughed. "Look at how unhappy you are. Did you hit a wall with Ding Shan?"
Xiang Hong was secretly annoyed. 'She actually ...She didn't remember him.' But Xiang Hong didn't say it out loud. It was too embarrassing.
He only looked irritated as he walked quickly, competing with himself.
Chapter 218. Possessiveness
Yin Hui could only catch up quickly and did not dare to ask more.
Xiang Hong walked alone, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. This little fox had no conscience. She looked strange and intelligent, but at this critical moment, she had made a mistake and forgotten about him!
However, Xiang Hong did not believe that Ding Shan had no feelings for him.
...
This little fox was used to pretending to be polite and distant. Still, when he was staring at her on the stage just now, she clearly knew what he was thinking, but she still pretended to be calm and secretly competed with him, forcing him to take the initiative to be nice to her. This already showed that she treated him differently from others.
Xiang Hong bitterly smiled. When did he learn to comfort himself like a woman? He was getting more and more useless.
However, Ding Shan's reaction was not surprising. Xiang Hong knew that the incident that night had been carried out in the dark. The little fox had hidden well, and he had only found her because of that unique jewelry.
To her, she had thought that the man from that night was a particular service staff member of the club. She would never think that way when he appeared in front of her like this.
For the first time, Xiang Hong regretted not giving her a memento the other day. He had been playing hide-and-seek for fun, but when he discovered that Ding Shan did not recognize him, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. Could it be that he was blaming himself for hiding too profoundly?
Xiang Hong, who had been single for so long, could not understand the ambiguous way of playing hard to get. He thought he could hide his identity from Ding Shan and quietly pay attention to her. Then, he would suddenly appear and give Ding Shan a surprise. That would be interesting.
However, to most people, that night's experience was purely an accident. Even if the two were very compatible, the story's origin was not good. Most people would not be willing to recall that night when they were drugged and escaped into a stranger's room. This dangerous and helpless memory, and the more open-minded people, would directly treat it as an everyday experience. As time passed, they would forget it.
Fortunately, both Xiang Hong and Ding Shan were not open-minded people. Although the two of them had accepted everything that had happened that night, and Xiang Hong had even fallen into it and become more interested in Ding Shan, they were self-disciplined and had emotional mysophobia.
Up until now, Xiang Hong was only interested in work. Part of the reason was that he had a strict requirement for love. It was not that Xiang Hong did not understand or care about love. It was just that there were too many men and women around him. The sweetness was even sweeter than sugar.
Which of those people didn't have countless thoughts hidden behind their backs, each taking what they needed, and in the end, constantly quarreling, not giving in to each other, and ending up without a solution?
If this were the love that society acknowledged, then Xiang Hong would not be willing to have it. Was it not easy to earn money, or was it not fun to acquire things?
In Xiang Hong's opinion, the current society was deformed. True love was already too rare. He did not have the time to play love games with some evil, big-breasted, brainless women. That was why he always kept a respectful distance and a clean record.
Ding Shan's appearance was like a little elf who had barged into a quiet place. She exuded a faint alluring aura and cheekily left behind a gift. Little did she know that the hunter would take the gift and follow her scent to find her again.
Xiang Hong thought, 'As a hunter, I should be more patient. It's bad for me to be tempted, so I don't scare my little fox away."
She couldn't remember him, so he had to stay beside her and guide her. This game only belonged to the two of them, and the prize was naturally Ding Shan herself.
Of course, if any blind people were coveting his prize, Xiang Hong would not mind using unique means to get rid of them.
He could play however he wanted with the little fox, but no matter what, Ding Shan was already his woman. It was rare for him to be moved. Xiang Hong did not want to deny it, nor did he want to miss it. From this moment on, Ding shan was already his woman!
Xiang Hong's dominance and possessiveness as a President began to stir again. Since he had recognized his own heart, it was even more natural for him to place Ding Shan under his protection. No one was allowed to disturb her, let alone covet her.
Chapter 219. The God of Fortune's Favorite
Xiang Hong quickly adjusted his state of mind. The little fox couldn't remember him for a while, or it could be said that she didn't dare to associate him with the man from that night.
This was also good. Xiang Hong was a little curious. How would she view him if Ding Shan did not know that the two of them had such a fate and met each other in a more formal identity? Would she fall in love with him like how he was attracted to her when she was more lively?
If she recognized him, it would be troublesome, and their relationship would not be so pure.
...
Xiang Hong finally understood, and his complexion looked a bit better.
Yin Hui had been secretly peeking at him, heaving a sigh of relief when he saw that the great devil's expression had softened.
It was his first time on stage. It would be troublesome if he lost his temper and refused to participate again because of Ding Shan. It was better to calm him down and make him participate in a few episodes.
Yin Hui pulled Xiang Hong back. "Why are you walking around by yourself? We've already made quite a few rounds; I'll take you to your place. You're going to participate in the recording, so you have to stay, right?"
Xiang Hong was not too happy. "I'm not used to living here. Which dormitory do you want me to live in with them? "Are you kidding me? Let the driver pick me up every day."
Yin Hui rolled his eyes. "Big brother, I know you're picky. I'm afraid you'll scare others if you stay in the dormitory. Just treat it as a good deed. Don't harm others. It's enough to harm me! You've already been divided into groups, and we'll start formal training tomorrow. Staying up all night might be a common thing, and it's not convenient for you to run back and forth. I'll stay here too. I've just found someone to prepare a room for you next to mine. I guarantee you'll be satisfied, so please do me the honor of staying!"
After hesitating for two seconds, Xiang Hong reluctantly nodded and agreed. He said, "I'll get my assistant to add some more things."
Thinking of his office that had been changed, Yin Hui sighed helplessly. He had to do it again. Xiang Hong had come to his office to do the renovation.
Knowing his brother's bad habit, Yin hui didn't bother about it anymore. He followed Xiang Hong and carefully warned, "But Old Xiang, we'll agree. I have no problem with you participating in this show. I fully support you, but you can't mess around. The president must at least control his temper and have the right attitude. I've put a lot of effort into this program and even pulled Ding Shan in, so you have to perform well! You were so obvious today. One look and they knew you weren't an ordinary trainee! You can't do this in the future!"
Xiang Hong raised his brows. "I'm acting out of my instincts. Isn't it good to show everyone something new? Don't tell me you'll have to stand on stage and laugh with me?"
Yin Hui laughed helplessly. "I didn't make you become like that. Maybe the audience will like you. But what I mean is, don't always pick on the instructors. I know Cheng Tong is not likable, and besides Ding Shan, you don't care about the other instructors and trainees. But since you're participating, you'd better keep a low profile. I've already promised Ding Shan that there's no inside story. For you, I've stood her up. Don't be too obvious!"
When Xiang Hong heard Ding Shan's name, he reluctantly nodded and agreed. "Alright, I'll bear with it for a while and pretend to be an ordinary person. She's tough to deal with!"
Yin Hui was so angry that he pretended to hit Xiang Hong. "You bastard! Who would be angered to death? I know you're a proud son of the heavens! A dragon among men! Just treat it as a favor for me and Ding Shan!"
Yin hui dragged Xiang Hong to look for Lin Si, and the three went upstairs together. The entire top floor of the building was reserved for Yin Hui, and there were three rooms available for Xiang Hong, Lin Si, and Lu Chen, who had yet to get off the plane.
It had been a long time since the four brothers had gathered together. Yin Hui was a little excited. Even Lin Si, who was usually cold, had a gentle expression and ignored the slight unhappiness.
Xiang Hong asked Xu Yan to find someone to tidy up this floor. This time, the space was more significant. The bedroom environment was complete, and entertainment facilities such as a billiard room, a gym, and a wine cabinet were available.
Yin Hui was pleased with himself. "It's all thanks to me, the future media tycoon, who is bold. We have not gathered together and had fun for a while. Now, we can mix work and entertainment. What a great idea! "
Lin Si snorted. "You're working and playing at the same time. We've all abandoned our work to join you."
Yin Hui glared at Lin Si. "Can you not be such a wet blanket? Don't you guys earn enough money? It's time for me to taste the taste of success! Compared to you guys, I'm like an orphan abandoned by the god of fortune! I'll pay for what I did. I won't fail again this time!"
Lin Si looked at Xiang Hong with a smile. "This time, even the favorite of the god of fortune is here to perform for you. It's hard for you to fail even if you want to."
Chapter 220. A Worry-free Makeup Artist
Yin Hui laughed happily and even took a lot of videos to send to Lu Chen. Even though Lu Chen couldn't see the news on the plane, Yin Hui couldn't help but crave for him so that Lu Chen could come quickly and make it to the party tonight.
In the blink of an eye, the sky had darkened.
Xiao Zhao carefully opened the bedroom door, planning to wake Ding Shan up to clean up.
...
Ding Shan was not in a deep sleep; after a short rest, she was no longer sleepy.
There would be a recording for the party that night. Ding Shan forced herself to nap to maintain her excellent state. When Xiao Zhao opened the door, Ding Shan opened her eyes and sat up.
Xiao Zhao quietly handed her a glass of warm water. "Sister Shan, the makeup artist, is here to touch up your makeup. What a coincidence, he's our acquaintance!"
Ding Shan was also a little curious, but she had just woken up, and her mouth was dry. She took a few sips of warm water, then got up and walked out.
In the living room, a fashionable girl was sitting obediently on the sofa, waiting. When she heard the sound, she turned around in surprise, her eyes smiling. It was the makeup artist who had attended to Ding Shan during the photo shoot.
"It's you?" Ding Shan asked in surprise. This time, this was the third time. It was fate.
The makeup artist nodded happily. "Sister Shan, I've also applied for this job opportunity. I didn't have time to tell you when I was making me you today. Besides, I can't guarantee that I'll be assigned to you, but I applied with the head planner to come to you, and I didn't expect her to agree! I'll be in charge of your makeup from now on!"
Ding Shan was also pleased. This makeup artist was outstanding, and she was also charming and likable. "Then why didn't you make me up for the recording just now? "
The makeup artist scratched her head in embarrassment. "Wasn't I at the photoshoot just now? I didn't manage to rush over."
Ding Shan smiled and nodded. "That means you're competent. The capable do more work. Thank you for your hard work. "What's your name?"
The makeup artist pouted shyly. "Sister Shan, you can just call me Zhenzhen." Then, she took out her makeup box and placed it on the dressing table. "Sister Shan, let me touch up your makeup."
Ding Shan walked over and allowed Xiao Zhen to work on her face.
Xiao Zhao also went over to take a look. Zhenzhen was handling the details unhurriedly. After the photo shoot, she was already very familiar with Ding Shan's appearance and style, so she was very confident in her work.
Ding Shan looked on with satisfaction and was in a good mood. It was much easier to have a makeup artist who understood her.
Ding Shan instructed Xiao Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, Zhenzhen is about the same age as you. You've got a little sister now, so I'll have to rely on you to take care of her.
Xiao Zhao agreed readily. "No problem, Zhenzhen, you can follow me for this period! "
Zhenzhen's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled. "That's great. I like working at your place, sister Shan. I'm so lucky."
Xiao Zhao had already met Zhenzhen twice, so she said in a friendly manner, "Of course. It's a good thing you weren't assigned to Chen Tong's place. Let me tell you, that woman is terrifying. She'll bully you if you go."
Ding Shan helplessly glanced at Xiao Zhao. "Xxiao Zhao! Don't say these things outside; it's not good to talk about people behind their backs."
Xiao Zhao squinted her eyes. Zhenzhen is one of us now. I know my limits. I won't say a word when I go out!
Zhenzhen also knew Chen Tong. She frowned. "I know her. Our industry is quite mobile. We go wherever there's a performance. She was in a variety show before, and I was assigned to her." She was indeed a little hesitant. "Zhenzhen is still young and doesn't dare to say some things."
Ding Shan smiled to comfort her. "Don't worry; you can relax a little here. "
Zhenzhen nodded her head heavily. After touching up Ding Shan's makeup, she used a hair curl stick to curl Ding Shan's black hair.
Because it was a party, they didn't need exquisite waves like during the day. Instead, they changed it to a lazy, slightly curled style, which was very suitable for activities at night.
Xiao Zhao pushed a portable clothes hanger over. "Sister Shan, I've already ironed the clothes we brought and hung them here. Xiao Liu just sent over some clothes from other brands. Which one should we wear tonight? "
Ding Shan looked at it and finally chose a more casual rose-red camisole dress, a black suit jacket, and a pair of silver pointed flat shoes. The style revealed a french languidness and comfort, and it matched her curly hair very well, especially for the party atmosphere.
Chapter 221. Using Too Much Strength
The sky was getting dark, so the director (cameraman)set up a small camera and prepared to follow Ding Shan to the party.
Ding Shan put on rose pink lipstick and smiled at the mirror, looking very charming.
The director's surname is Jin. He was not too old, but he had been in the industry for a long time. Even with her rich experience and unfamiliarity with the female stars in the entertainment industry, he was inevitably dazzled by Ding Shan's beauty.
...
Director Jin did his job and secretly took a picture of Ding shan's charming face in front of the mirror with her lipstick. No director could refuse to have such a beautiful scene in his shot. Director Jin sometimes zoomed in and sometimes out to the distant view, intoxicated by the scene.
Ding shan looked at the camera as if she was interacting with it. She said softly, " Alright, let's go! "
Director Jin nodded in surprise. Ding Shan knew how to make use of her beauty! As expected of an actor, her camera sense was great! The effect would be beautiful if this clip were cut out and placed in the opening!
Ding shan stood up. Even though she was wearing flat shoes, her steps were wide and graceful, but she still walked with a swaying posture. She rarely wore clothes like this in the past, but today, she had changed into three sets of this kind of stylish dress in a row. To many people, it was still very fresh.
Director Jin walked in front of Ding Shan and took a few steps backward, recording her languid french style.
Ding Shan shan stopped in her tracks and tried to pull director Jin back. " Be careful! "
However, she was still a step too late. Director Jin and Chen Tong's team had just walked out of the door and bumped into each other.
Director Jin ignored what was behind him. Chen Tong's assistant director (cameraman was also filming Chen Tong. Both looked at the cameras in their hands, moving backward, and then they bumped into each other.
As colleagues, this little interlude was naturally nothing. Since the filming was interrupted, the two of them let it go and indicated that their respective artistes could walk normally.
Ding Shan nodded slightly and ignored Chen Tong, planning to go first.
On the other hand, Chen Tong's eyes quickly scanned Ding Shan from head to toe, her expression not looking too good.
How did Ding Shan change? She was dressed sexier and sexier each time! Didn't she go for the National daughter route in the past?
Detestable! Chen Tong looked at her dress and felt a little upset. Her dress was very nice just now, exquisite and cute, but it instantly became exaggerated compared to Ding Shan's dress and suit. It made Ding Shan's style seem more advanced and light.
However, it was too late to change now. Chen Tong could only clench her teeth and lift her skirt as if she was bluffing.
It didn't matter. Her dress was more extensive and shiny. No matter what, it would be more eye-catching than Ding Shan's!
However, she was still unhappy. She vented her anger at the director and complained, "Can't you take a good picture for me? You've been filming for a while, and look at what you've done. It's a waste of my expensive dress. Shoot more and cut it into the opening titles and trailers! Do you still need me to teach you?"
The accompanying director was also very innocent. This dress might be costly, but this style was almost the same. All the female celebrities wore it. There was nothing much to shoot. It was enough to record some scenes as a backup.
However, the director couldn't say anything since Chen Tong had said so much. He accepted his fate and raised the camera to shoot again. His professionalism was being questioned, so he couldn't help but feel a little emotional. In the end, he just did it perfunctorily.
The director cursed Chen Tong in his heart. Didn't he know? He had seen Chen Tong's style just now. If they wanted to cut her off, the focus would be on Ding Shan. Her many years of good looks were not in vain.
Chen Tong's dress was fine on stage, but it didn't match an occasion like a night party. Even the photos wouldn't be recorded, let alone a video.
However, the photographer knew that if he said this, Chen Zhao would probably explode in anger. He should talk less and work more!
But even if the photographer didn't say anything, Chen Tong's face was livid when she arrived at the party.
She looked at the self-service dessert table on the lawn, the tents surrounded by starlights, and gritted her teeth. "Why didn't anyone tell me it was an outdoor shoot? It's a party of this style!"
Chen Tong thought it was the kind of banquet hall with flashing lights, so she chose a diamond-studded dress! But now, as she stood on this patch of grass, she looked ridiculous! She was like a country bumpkin who had never seen the world and used too much force!
