233 Chapter 233. Heart-to-heart talk
To change the entire entertainment industry with her power, this kind of thinking would probably be laughed at by others, but Li Yang’s words just now made Ding Shan feel very emotional, and she recalled all her past experiences.
Li Yang was also one of the rare gold-class managers in the industry who had a strong approach but was also very upright. After a day, she was also very friendly and considerate to her. Ding Shan thought about it for a long time and couldn’t help but say these words.
After she finished speaking, Ding Shan looked at Li Yang with a slightly red face.
She didn’t expect Li Yang’s eyes to become slightly moist as she looked at her.
“Is this what you think?” Li Yang asked softly.
Ding Shan nodded. “Yes.”
Li Yang smiled with relief. “Good child, you’re a good child.”
Ding Shan looked at Li Yang in a daze, not knowing what to say.
Initially, Ding Shan thought she was making a self-declaration, but when she saw Li Yang’s reaction, she realized she was probably trying to get Li Yang’s approval. She was trying to find some people who were on the same page as her.
And Li Yang’s reaction also confirmed this point. She was the same as her; she wanted to resist injustice.
Li Yang wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and smiled in embarrassment. “Look at me; I’m too emotional.”
Then, she took a deep breath and said with emotion, “Ding Shan, to be honest, after so many years, I thought I was used to it. When I occasionally talk about it with others, I can say without changing my expression, ‘Isn’t this society and the industry environment like this?’ It doesn’t sound like much, and I’m already numb to it, but you know how much I hate all of this.”
Li Yang’s expression gradually became determined. She was no longer the amiable and approachable person talking to Ding Shan earlier. The look in her eyes changed, and one could see Li Yang’s appearance progressively as a strong woman who had fought her way out of the entertainment industry.
Li Yang chuckled. “I entered the industry when I was 20 years old. From a little dough that didn’t know anything, I became the respected Sister Yang now. In the past 30 years, what kind of dirty things have I not seen? What kind of mess haven’t I cleaned up?”
Thinking of the past, Li Yang’s eyes were full of mockery. “I thought this circle was rotten, and I couldn’t stay anymore, but I couldn’t bear to give up the foundation I had built over the years. I could only force myself to continue and pretend to be numb to it.”
Li Yang shook her head. “But I’m old, and my heart isn’t as strong as before. When I was young, I tried to snatch people from private rooms and throw a tantrum with beer bottles. I can’t do that anymore.
“I’m afraid I’ll be swallowed by this man-eating whirlpool and become someone I don’t even recognize. If I become a gold-class manager on the surface and do all kinds of bad things behind my back, I’m afraid that I’ll lose my innocence and my daughter will look down on me! With this thought, I’ve persevered until today.”
Li Yang looked at Ding Shan’s beautiful face and sighed in her heart, “I’m not as brave as you. You have such determination and courage at such a young age. I’m ashamed of my inferiority, and I’m happy for you. I was wrong in the past. The entertainment industry will not be over. With a good child like you, there will be hope.”
Ding Shan had been silently listening to Li Yang’s words as if she could feel the hardships and inner turmoil that Li Yang had been through.
To be able to fight a way out of the numerous wolves, tigers, and leopards and not be dragged down by them was not something an ordinary person could do.
It was probably just as Li Yang had said; she was afraid that she would let her daughter down for all the hardships she had gone through.
“Your daughter must have made all your clothes for you,” Ding Shan chuckled.
Li Yang laughed in surprise. “How did you know?”
Ding Shan looked at Li Yang enviously. “I can see that you treasure your clothes a lot. Even your eyes are filled with sincerity. I’m guessing that an ordinary person did not make this. Furthermore, this dress suits you. She put a lot of effort into it.”
Li Yang touched her clothes proudly, “That’s right, Chen Tong was talking about my suit before, but I didn’t like to talk to her. This is my precious daughter’s work, so it’s naturally the best. I don’t want her to enter the entertainment industry. She has her hobbies, and that’s enough.”
