159 Chapter 159. Have I Ever Been Afraid
Chen Tong was stunned. No one had ever said that about her. She had never thought that even as an artiste, she would still earn money for her boss. She could be considered a part-time worker.
Chen Tong was unwilling to admit it. She asked sharply, “How can it be the same?”
Xiao Zhao immediately snorted. “How is it different?”
Chen Tong’s eyes reddened. She immediately felt wronged. “Alright, the three of you are ganging up on me! Is there no one else in our company? I can’t record this program today.”
Xiao Zhao looked at Chen Tong in disbelief. Was this person starting to act shamelessly? She had started the trouble first. If it did not go her way, would she stop recording?
Little Liu frowned and continued to warn Chen Tong. “Miss Chen, I must remind you that you have signed a contract. If you do not participate in the recording, you will have to pay the penalty for breaching the contract.”
Chen Tong sobbed as she raised her voice, deliberately saying to the people around her, “It’s not what I want to stop recording. I’m not in the mood. Sister Shan has a problem with me. If we record together, the effect will not be good. Then I might as well quit! I want to see Director Yin!”
More and more people gathered in the corridor. When they saw that Chen Tong seemed to be crying and there were two people beside Ding Shan, who appeared to be aggressive, they immediately began to speculate in whispers.
“What’s going on? Is there any gossip?”
“I don’t know! Chen Tong seems to have been bullied!”
“No! I came early. I think Chen Tong dirtied Ding Shan’s dress and was talking about compensation!”
“Oh no! It should be Chen Tong who provoked her first. She wants to wear Ding Shan’s dress!”
The gossip in the entertainment industry was usually spread like this. Many people did not know the truth of the matter, but when they saw something, they would add fuel to the fire and spread it. It became several versions.
Xiao Zhao frowned and shouted, “Everyone, quickly go and do your own thing! There’s nothing here! Everyone, disperse!”
The people around nodded and agreed on the surface but were unwilling to move their feet and leave. Such a thing happened backstage on the first day of the recording. Who would not want to watch the show?
That was Ding Shan! How long had it been since she appeared? There was news the moment she appeared. She had a gossipy constitution!
Chen Tong was secretly pleased with herself. What was the use of Ding Shan’s sharp tongue? She had just returned to the entertainment industry and had not kept a low profile. How dare she treat her like this? Did she still think she was the movie queen who could call the wind and summon the rain in the past?
Things were different now! It was time for her to see what would happen to people who did not know how to behave in the entertainment industry!
Ding Shan listened to the discussions around her and lowered her head. She smiled meaningfully and then looked at Chen Tong. “Miss Chen, don’t be sad anymore. The recording is more important. Can you accompany me to the bathroom to deal with the dress?”
Chen Tong looked at Ding Shan with some confusion. She did not understand why Ding Shan suddenly changed the topic and asked her to accompany her to deal with the gown.
However, on second thought, Ding Shan did not mock her like before. Instead, she invited her to be alone with her. She must have been afraid and embarrassed to admit defeat in front of everyone, so she found an excuse to apologize to her. Was she going to calm down this storm?
So many people were watching, and Ding Shan still politely asked. Chen Tong could not directly reject her. After all, everyone had seen how she dirtied Ding Shan’s dress, so she had to cooperate a little.
Therefore, Chen Tong pretended to be magnanimous and nodded. “Alright then, Sister Shan. I’ll go with you.”
Ding Shan curled the corners of her lips, and her eyes were cold. “Then let’s go.”
Xiao Zhao and Little Liu were worried and looked at Ding Shan hesitantly. Xiao Zhao wanted to go with Ding Shan but was stopped by Ding Shan. She went to the bathroom alone with Chen Tong.
Once they entered the bathroom, Ding Shan locked the door. Before Chen Tong could react, she was still saying proudly, “Sister Shan, what are you planning to say to me? Just say it. I’m not an unreasonable person. I’ll cooperate with you on the recording if you can make me feel better. This is your first show since your comeback. You don’t want any accidents to happen, do you?”
Ding Shan’s expression darkened. She quickly turned around and pushed Chen Tong against the wall. She walked forward and pressed down on Chen Tong’s wrist. She sneered condescendingly, “Accidents? You think you’re qualified to create accidents for me?”
Chen Tong was so scared that she screamed, “Ah! What are you doing!”
Ding Shan smiled wickedly. “Go ahead and scream. If you’re not afraid of losing face, scream louder. Let everyone see your ugly face. I’m not afraid of any gossip. Haven’t I had a lot of scandals in the past? Do you think I’m afraid of them?”
Chen Tong looked at Ding Shan with some fear. “You’re Crazy! Crazy…”
No matter how arrogant Chen Tong was, she never thought that Ding Shan would trick her into going to the bathroom and start fighting. Which female celebrity in this era would dare to hit someone? Ding Shan must be crazy!
