Chapter 210-215

Chapter 210. Not a Small Background

Xiao Zhao scratched her head. "Sister Shan, you know him? "

Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao had nothing to hide. "He's very familiar, but I don't seem to know him."

Xiao Zhao continued to ask, "He was a little confused. He came over and said something that no one could understand. Then, he left angrily."

...

Ding Shan laughed. "You can tell that he's angry too? "

Xiao Zhao made an exaggerated face. "Wow, his face is so deep that it's almost touching the ground. He looks so unhappy. I'm not blind."

Ding Shan was in a good mood and smiled. She didn't know why, but this mysterious man's aura was threatening, but she didn't feel any fear. Instead, she thought that it was pretty interesting. Maybe it was because this person's attitude towards her was slightly different, so she didn't feel any distance from him.

It was their first meeting, but after several eye-to-eye exchanges and conversations, it was as if they had known each other for a long time and had a tacit understanding.

Xiao Zhao was still thinking about it. "Sister Shan, look. He did not give any face at all in front of President Yin. President Yin seems to be quite afraid of him. If things are abnormal, there must be something going on. If his status is higher than President Yin's, but he purposely came to be a trainee by your side, this is not good. I am afraid."

Ding Shan also understood that Yin Hui's attitude earlier was indeed strange. No matter what, he was the project's boss, but he seemed to be on excellent terms with this mysterious person, even though Yin Hui was at a disadvantage.

If it was someone of Yin Hui's level and status, it was not good for him to participate in a talent show and come to her side. Although Ding Shan knew that Yin Hui wasn't wrong, one could only see a person's face but not his heart. Ding Shan was still a little resistant to the people in that circle and didn't want to be close to them.

She had been reborn and only wanted to work hard for her career and be beautiful. The people in that circle were either brainless fools who only knew how to do whatever they wanted or had highly high intelligence and played with power. The former was just a paper tiger, and there was nothing to be afraid of, but if they met the latter, then even her own life would not be enough for those people to play with. Ding Shan did not want to get into trouble.

Ding Shan instructed little Zhao, "Try your best to investigate it so you can be prepared. However, I think that if he has a unique identity, we won't be able to find anything. We can only wait and see and stay away from him."

Xiao Zhao nodded and noted it down.

At this moment, Xiao Liu ran over. "Sister Shan, I'll take you back to your room to rest."

Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up. He grabbed little Liu and asked, "Did you see that mysterious person just now? What is his relationship with your president Yin?"

Xiao Liu was stunned for a moment and scratched his head. "I'm not too sure about this."

Xiao Zhao did not believe him. "Are you hiding it from us on purpose? Aren't you from President Yin's company? He sent you over to take care of sister Shan. It shows that you are also competent. His relationship with that person is not normal. Have you not heard of it before?"

Xiao Liu laughed awkwardly as he said, "Older sister Zhao, don't tease me anymore. My position is not high. I am just a normal employee. I could not even see President Yin's face much in the past. I don't know what happened this time, but my supervisor recommended I go to President Yin for an interview. He said it was a good opportunity, and I was sent over. President Yin's friends, I have no way of coming into contact with them, but he does look a little familiar!"

Xiao Zhao pouted in disappointment. "There are many people who look alike. It's fine if you don't know them."

Little Liu continued to scratch his head. "No, I'm sure I've run into him somewhere! But I really couldn't remember. Why? Is there a problem with him?"

Ding Shan laughed and said, "It's nothing much. We feel that something is off. He doesn't seem to be someone from this circle and seems to have a perfect relationship with President Yin. We were curious, so we asked."

As a man, it was inevitable for Xiao Liu to be careless and not sensitive in this aspect. He did not understand Ding Shan and Xiao Zhao's worries. After hearing Ding Shan's words, he smiled and did not mind.

Xiao Zhao snorted. "How could you forget such a handsome man if you've seen him before? Don't talk big."

Little Liu immediately felt a little unconvinced. "I think he looks familiar! But I can't remember where I've seen him before. Just wait; I'll remember!"

Xiao Zhao rolled her eyes. "It'll be too late by the time you remember. I'd rather go and find out for myself!"

Little Liu wanted to argue.

Ding Shan quickly stopped him. "Alright! You two should stop bickering. This isn't a big deal, so what does it matter if you know each other? Hurry up and go back; my feet are hurting from wearing high heels."

Hearing Ding Shan's tired voice, Xiao Zhao quickly removed a pair of slippers from her bag for Ding Shan to change into.

Chapter 211. The Princess

Ding Shan stepped on the soft slippers and sighed in comfort. She smiled. "As expected, it's still so comfortable. After so many years, I still can't get used to high heels."

Xiao Zhao nodded in agreement. "Sister Shan, it's admirable that you can sway in high heels. Those things are beautiful, but it's too torturous. I'll prepare slippers for you in the future. You can change into them when you're not in front of the camera!"

Little Liu teased her by the side, "If I were as considerate as Xiao Zhao, I might have been able to be promoted faster. I would not have worked for so many years before President Yin arranged a job for me."

...

Xiao Zhao laughed. "Do your best and take care of sister Shan with me. Isn't this your chance to be promoted? "

Xiao Liu nodded and agreed readily. "Of course! Sister Shan is such a good person; how can I not take good care of her? Let's go; I've cleaned the room up; it's spacious!"

The three of them went upstairs. It was a space that Yin Hui had specially opened up for the instructors to rest. It was separated from the students' dormitories. Every floor had a perfect security system. Although it was for two months, it could still ensure privacy.

As soon as Ding Shan entered the rest area, she saw a group of people coming and going in front of a room. They were all pushing their suitcases and carrying large boxes into the room.

Ding Shan looked; sure enough, it was Chen Tong's room.

Chen Tong came back first. She was sitting in the room and directing the staff. Piles of items and clothes were moved into the room. Those who didn't know would think that Chen Tong had moved the entire house.

She heard Chen Tong screaming, "Be careful! That's my limited edition frost! You can't buy it! And you, that dress is real silk; you can't put it there!"

The poor staff members were all conscientious. They were so tired that they were panting and had to be ordered around by Chen Tong.

Xiao Liu shook his head. "She thinks she's a Princess. In ancient times, servants serve their masters in such a way."

Xiao Zhao couldn't stand it anymore and frown. "Isn't this a little too much? We will be here for two months. Do you have to go through so much trouble?"

Ding Shan frowned and said in a low voice, "We have no choice. Let's not meddle in other people's business. It's not good to talk about others behind their backs. Let's go back to our rooms."

Ding Shan's room was quite far from Chen Tong's, so they were not afraid of disturbing each other.

However, just as she was about to enter, she could still hear Chen Tong complaining, "This room is too small! It can't even fit my things; how can it fit people!"

Xiao Liu opened the door to Ding Shan's room and quickly ushered her in. "Sister Shan, you do not have to worry. President Yin specially arranged your room. It has a lot of space and is better than all of their rooms."

As soon as Ding Shan entered the room, she saw a large soft sofa in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. The sunlight was hot. The decoration of the entire room was not complicated, but it was all in warm colors, which relaxed people.

Xiao Liu was not spouting nonsense. Although the room was not very luxurious, when she passed by Chen Tong's room earlier, Ding Shan also glanced at it. Her room was much more spacious than Chen Tong's, and there was more sunlight.

Ding Shan was satisfied as she laughed. "President Yin has put in a lot of effort. I like it a lot."

"That's good. The three female mentors live on this floor, but each has a suite. If sister Shan doesn't want to talk to Chen Tong, it won't be inconvenient for her to stay in her room." Also, your assistants can stay on this floor. Xiao Zhao has a room next to sister Shan's."

Xiao Zhao was happy. "That's good! I was worried that taking care of sister Shan would be inconvenient. President Yin is so thoughtful."

Ding Shan walked over to the sofa and sat down, panting slightly. It had been a while since she had done such high-intensity work. One hundred students, one by one, being reviewed was a little tiring.

Fortunately, everything else went smoothly apart from the episode with mysterious Person X.

Ding Shan already had an impression of this variety show, and with her judgment, she found that the team members she had chosen were all outstanding. They all had a lot of potentials, and there were also a few unpolished jades. This made Ding Shan a little impatient.

The first step was to bring out the best in these students and gain many fans. The next step would be to develop their individual behind-the-scenes career.

The management company that Ding Shan had asked Xiao Zhao to prepare had been completed, and now they needed some capable new faces to join in and make the first shot.

Chapter 212. A Little Special

Ding Shan was prepared to spend more time with these team members with potential in the next two months. She would try to select a few strong ones who were on good terms with her and persuade them to sign under her company. At that time, she could use the popularity of the show's broadcast to save a lot of trouble, and her own management company could also make a name for itself as soon as possible.

Xiao Liu pointed at the luggage piled up at the door. "Sister Shan's things are all there. Compared to Chen Tong, there's so little. Sister Shan, if you need anything else, tell me. I'll go buy it for you."

Ding Shan nodded. "I'm almost done. There's nothing else."

...

Xiao Zhao ran over to open the luggage and began to organize the items according to Ding Shan's habits.

Xiao Liu quickly said, "Then I'll go first. Leave Xiao Zhao here to help. We, the male staff, live downstairs. If there's anything, give me a call. I'll come over immediately.

As he spoke, Xiao Liu walked out of the door and suddenly remembered to come back. "By the way, the director should be here soon. They will install a few cameras in the room first and use them for post-editing. There will be some material. Sister Shan, remember to turn it off when you sleep at night or when it's inconvenient. There was a party tonight to celebrate the official recording, and they wanted to get to know each other better. Sister Shan, you guys, rest for a while. I'll come and find you later."

After giving these instructions, Xiao Liu left.

"Sister Shan, don't you think we're on a summer camp?" Zhao laughed as she packed up. "Everyone lives in the same building and has all kinds of parties and galas. They are not afraid of playing until late, and they can go back to their rooms to sleep after a period. How blissful! I like the feeling of living as a group!"

Ding Shan looked at little Zhao's innocent expression, and the corners of her mouth twitched. "It's quite lively, but I'm afraid it's too lively. I'm sure there will be a lot of good shows in the next two months."

Xiao Zhao turned around and looked at Ding Shan worriedly. Listening to Ding Shan's tone, Xiao Zhao suddenly had an inexplicable feeling, as if many dangers were lurking around sister Shan. This made sister Shan's style even more melancholic.

"Are you not happy, sister Shan?" Zhao asked softly.

Ding Shan was stunned for a moment. "No, I feel a little emotional and full of anticipation. It's better if there's more drama; we won't be bored."

Xiao Zhao nodded as if she understood. She felt that sister Shan had something on her mind. Some things made Xiao Zhao confused during today's recording. Other than the appearance of the mysterious person at the end, Xiao Zhao also realized that Ding Shan's attitude towards a particular student was very different.

Xiao Zhao's heart was full of Ding Shan; they had been working together for so long, so she naturally understood Ding Shan. During the recording, little Zhao feared something would happen to ding Shan, so she kept a high concentration. While Ding Shan was on the stage choosing her team members, Xiao Zhao was also watching from the audience.

Then, she noticed that after the trainee called Wen Xiu went on stage, Xiao Zhao vaguely felt that sister Shan's aura seemed to have changed, and there was a more invasive look in her eyes. Logically speaking, sister Shan and every student were strangers. She had always had a gentle and indifferent attitude, so why was it so special with this Wen Xiu?

However, little Zhao thought about it and suppressed the doubts in her heart.

Sister Shan naturally had her thoughts. Maybe it was a privacy issue. Although in this industry, the manager had to be in charge of the artistes 'big and small matters and even make them abandon their privacy and hand over all their social media accounts.

Yang Hua and Ding Wan treated sister Shan like this, so Xiao Zhao didn't dare to ask too much. She feared that sister Shan would think he was trying to control her like Yang Hua. No one liked to be ordered around by others. Xiao Zhao secretly warned herself that she should never prevent or hurt sister Shan because it was for her good.

Sister Shan could do whatever she wanted. She would protect her and deal with the risks. This was what a manager should do. If they were afraid of trouble and controlled their artistes tightly, not allowing them to do anything or have any thoughts, that would be the incompetence of a manager.

Xiao Zhao prepared herself mentally and suppressed the doubts in her heart. Her hands did not stop, and soon she finished cleaning.

Unexpectedly, after a moment of silence, Ding Shan said, "Little Zhao, help me keep an eye on Wen Xiu. He's a little special; I'm worried about him."

Xiao Zhao's eyes widened. Sister Shan said something that she had been struggling with for so long. What did she mean by a little special and worried? Sister Shan wouldn't have some special feelings for that Wen Xiu.

Chapter 213. Are You Being Punished?

"Sister Shan, there's something wrong. Is there anything special about Wen Xiu?" Xiao Zhao asked.

Ding Shan furrowed her brows. The ill-fated relationship between Wen Xiu and her in her previous life was too deep. In this life, their interaction had also been brought forward because of her participation in the variety show. Xiao Zhao had also been with her for quite some time. She couldn't know Wen Xiu. It was indeed strange for her to pay attention to him suddenly.

However, Ding Shan had no way to explain that she had to be more careful of Wen Xiu, so she could only ask Xiao Zhao to help her keep an eye out.

...

Hence, Ding Shan could only come up with an excuse. "He looks a lot like someone I know, so I have a deep impression of him. Moreover, his looks are not bad, so paying more attention to him is only fitting. I'm preparing to observe his character. I usually have a lot of filming time, so I might be unable to take care of it. Can you help me see who he usually interacts with and if there are any suspicious actions? "

Xiao Zhao nodded thoughtfully and agreed. "Okay, sister Shan! I understand. If he's outstanding, do you want to sign him into our company?"

Ding Shan's mouth twitched. "Well, I haven't thought about this yet. Let's see how he gets on."

Ding Shan only knew that in this life, she would never let Wen Xiu live his life. As for whether she would directly throw him into the dust and never let him climb up again or hold him up high and let him fall ruthlessly after he was immersed in the beautiful dream of his imminent meteoric rise, Ding Shan had yet to decide.

In any case, he was now in her hands. Ding Shan didn't mind using her teacher's authority to take revenge for a private matter. From the beginning, she should have been the one with more power than Wen Xiu, and the stupid thing of being controlled by him would never happen again.

Little Zhao wanted to say something but stopped. Sister Shan's attitude was getting stranger and stranger. If she thought highly of Wen Xiu, it was natural to judge his character. However, sister Shan's attitude seemed to be guarded against Wen Xiu. There was a faint sense of hostility in her words. What was the inside story? Wen Xiu was just an unknown little trainee. He didn't have the opportunity or ability to make sister Shan care so much.

Ding Shan could see Xiao Zhao's confusion. She sighed and comforted him, "Little Zhao, there are some things I have an intuition about. I don't have any evidence yet. But don't worry, I won't do anything. He can't affect me much, and he's not important. Don't take it to heart; be careful."

There was something that Ding Shan did not say out loud. Wen Xiu was still not mature enough. He had just entered the circle and was still considered innocent. However, it was difficult to change his nature, so it was inevitable that there would be some signs. Ding Shan didn't want any accidents to happen, so she told Xiao Zhao to keep an eye on Wen Xiu, but she didn't want Xiao Zhao to be too worried.

Ding Shan smiled and continued, "You're afraid I'll fall for him? I won't have any scandals during this period. He isn't worthy of me."

Xiao Zhao heaved a sigh of relief and pretended to be angry as she pouted. "You scared me to death, sister Shan. You've never paid so much attention to a man before. I thought it was a man, but I don't think so. Just don't hide anything from me. I'll do anything you want for you. Please don't hold it in yourself. I'm not stupid. I can help you come up with ideas."

Ding Shan smiled in relief. "I know you're the best; that's why I gave you this mission. Now that he's on my team, it's inevitable that we'll have more contact. I'm just taking precautions."

Xiao Zhao was relieved and nodded. "This Wen Xiu is considered one of the best among this batch of trainees. He looks gentle, but he's very bold. Others are carefully testing each other, but he's the only one who directly fought for a spot with you, sister Shan. It will be a bit of moral kidnapping and hype if they aren't your fans. After thinking about it carefully, he's not simple. It's good that he doesn't cause any trouble in your team. I'll pay attention to him."

Just as he was speaking, a strange sound came from the door.

Xiao Zhao's eyes turned cold. She quickly walked to the door and opened it.

Chen Tong was still slightly bowed with her ear close to the door. When Xiao Zhao opened the door, Chen Tong gasped and was shocked. "Aiya!"

Xiao Zhao looked unhappy and asked politely, "Miss Chen, what's the matter? You're standing in front of our sister Shan's door without even knocking. Is there a problem?"

Chapter 214. Sarcasm

Chen Tong laughed awkwardly and crossed her arms in an attempt to bluff. "I was just about to knock when you opened the door. I didn't even blame you for scaring me."

Then, she put on an act and smiled at Ding Shan. "Sister Shan, your assistant has quite a temper. Is your room a forbidden area that I can't come to? Is there a need to be so angry? Are you questioning me?"

Ding Shan did not cooperate with her. She leaned back on the sofa coldly and replied, "My room is naturally not a forbidden area, but Miss Chen has been standing at the door quietly for who knows how long. Are you sticking your ear to the door to hear if I'm in my room? Even a weasel paying a New Year's visit to a chicken should know some manners and behave. Miss Chen, don't forget to knock next time. Of course, I'll open my door to welcome you. Otherwise, others will think I'm mean and deliberately lock you outside the door."

...

Chen Tong's face turned pale. She gritted her teeth and forced a stiff smile. "Sister Shan is so eloquent. It's a pity that she's not a host."

Ding Shan rolled her eyes impatiently and replied casually, "Maybe I'll try it in the future. After all, I'm versatile and like to experience interesting things."

Then, she thought of something. She smiled and looked at Chen Tong. "Of course, I'm afraid some incompetent people will think I'm snatching their job. They'll be angry and target me. That won't be good."

Chen Tong put on a fake smile. "How could that be? Professionals will naturally do professional things. No matter how others challenge them, they're just experiencing it once. Naturally, they'll give up after suffering."

Ding Shan raised her eyebrows. "It's good that Miss Chen understands this. It's still a matter of professionalism. As artistes, we have to have some real skills. That way, we won't be afraid no matter who tries to compete with us."

Chen Tong saw that Ding Shan would not let it go and secretly scolded Ding Shan for being mean. She left the camera, and her words became even more infuriating! She couldn't do anything to her, so she couldn't just take her as her own.

Chen Tong had no choice but to change the topic. She frowned and looked at Ding Shan's room. "I just came to look at your room, sister Shan. I thought our rooms were the same and I couldn't fit all my things in there, so I wanted to ask you for some advice. But why is your room so much bigger than mine? "

Ding Shan tilted her head innocently, her expression saying, 'I don't know either.

Xiao Zhao stood in front of Chen Tong impatiently. She did not want her to look at her anymore and replied stiffly, "President Yin arranged it. We do not know either. Miss Chen, if you have any questions, why don't you ask President Yin? "

Chen Tong rolled her eyes. As expected, this was Ding Shan's assistant. She was just as unlikable as Ding Shan. How dare a small assistant to talk to her with such an attitude?

However, due to Ding Shan's presence, Chen Tong did not dare to make things difficult for Xiao Zhao in front of Ding Shan. She looked around and said to Ding Shan, "Sister Shan, I like your room. It should be able to fit my things, so why don't you let me have it? I'm young and love to look pretty, so I inevitably have a lot of clothes and makeup. Sister Shan, please be understanding and agree to it!"

Xiao Zhao was furious. What did she mean? As an Artiste, who didn't like to be beautiful? Who was she mocking by using her age as an excuse? Was my sister Shan older? Even though she was ten years older than Chen Tong, she was still more beautiful than her!

Xiao Zhao straightened her neck and snarled, "Miss Chen, our sister Shan also has a lot of things. I'm afraid she can't exchange with you."

Chen Tong chuckled, her face full of mischief. "Aiya, I saw it all. Aren't they just a few boxes? Sister Shan is low-key. She only brought this much for a variety show. As a female star of sister Shan's level, isn't it a little shabby? Aiya, could it be that sister Shan and you are blaming me for being too careless? Sister Shan, I still have a lot of cosmetics; I'll give them to you. You'll get more endorsements shortly, so that you can use mine first. It's fine!"

Chen Tong finally found something to use against her. She was secretly happy. Didn't Ding Shan get into an accident some time ago? She lost many of her endorsements. Who knew how miserable her days were? She must have been so poor that she couldn't support herself anymore, so she came to do variety shows to make money, right?

Chapter 215. The Difference

Chen Tong started to show off like a villain, "I'm quite troubled too. The brand has sent too many things, and I can't even pile them up. Sister Shan, if you go bankrupt, don't be embarrassed. You can help me share some of the burdens." After saying that, she even smiled at Ding Shan proudly.

Ding Shan paused and looked at Chen Tong with a smile. "May I ask who told you that I'm bankrupt? Since you care so much about me, you should know that I'm already independent. I'm now my boss, and all my assets belong to me. I'm not at the point where I need Miss Chen's help."

Chen Tong's heart skipped a beat; Ding Shan's words provoked her.

...

Of course, she knew that Ding Shan had a falling out with her family after she became independent. The news at that time was all over the place. Everyone said Ding Shan had no conscience and stole her parents' assets. Her parents even acted pitiful on the internet and asked Ding Shan to come home obediently.

In the beginning, Chen Tong was like most people, watching the show. Later, when she found out that Ding Shan had legally taken away the assets, she was disappointed. She thought she could use this opportunity to publish more public announcements to slander, Ding Shan.

But Chen tong didn't expect Ding Shan would open her studio.

Ding Shan had announced that she would not be working for two months, and there had been no news for the past two months. It was as if she had disappeared from the world. Who knew when she had opened her studio?

Chen Tong wanted to say that Ding Shan was lying, but she knew there was no need for Ding Shan to say such things in front of her. The studio could be found, and she had opened it.

Almost every mature artiste would choose to go through the process of setting up their studio after becoming famous. This meant the celebrity had enough capital and courage to compete with other big management companies and grab resources.

Chen Tong thought that Ding Shan would find a management company to help her after she had fallen from grace. However, she had never heard of any company signing Ding Shan, so she thought she was being picky and trying to get into a better company.

She didn't expect that she would choose to do it alone at this juncture.

Damn it; I didn't even get this information! Chen Tong secretly regretted it. This was a big move. So Ding Shan's strength had been hidden all along?

That's right; a starving camel is still more significant than a horse. Ding Shan was a child star, after all. After so many years, she should have accumulated a lot of wealth.

Although her manager and family may have ruined a lot for her, Ding Shan has been shooting many bad movies in recent years. Those kinds of films took a short time to shoot and earn money quickly. She could probably shoot two or three of them in a year. There were also all kinds of garbage endorsements. It must have been a considerable income. Now that Ding Shan had all of that, she did have the capital to open a studio.

Chen Tong's heart felt even more unbalanced.

Although she was angry at Ding Shan's sarcasm, she was furious at the sudden gap between them!

Ding Shan was already her boss. No matter how good or bad the resources were, at the very least, all the income would go into Ding Shan's pocket, and Ding Shan would make all the decisions.

But what about her? It looked impressive, but she had no say at all. A part of the painstakingly earned advertising fees had to be paid to the company. The company had the final say on what variety shows they accepted, how they performed, and what character profile they set up.

If she weren't smart enough to get close to her boss and act like she was wronged, she wouldn't be able to live such a relaxed life. The company would have used her.

However, how could Chen Tong be satisfied? The feeling of living under someone else's roof and fawning over others was utterly different from being a boss herself, not to mention that she had to socialize with the old man and sleep with him. It was a pity for her beauty.

This was also why Chen Tong wanted to take advantage of these two months of closed filming to find a handsome man to accompany her.

How could a young, energetic woman accept staying by an old man's side? It was so annoying, and she still had to be on guard against the lady boss coming to find trouble at all times. How could it be as comfortable as being the boss? By then, it would be a small matter for her to keep a few young and handsome men.

However, Chen Tong knew that she could no longer leave the company and did not dare disobey her boss. She enjoyed first-hand resources in the company, had many assistants, and had someone to deal with her little willfulness daily. She had already enjoyed too much treatment that others did not dare to imagine, but where was there a free lunch in this world?
