Chapter 26

After Ding Shan hung up the phone, she heaved a sigh of relief. She had never felt so relaxed before.

Although Ding Wan and the others would not let this go, they had at least made a good start. Ding Shan now had her ways to deal with things in the future.

Xiao Zhao had been listening by the side the whole time. She could not help but feel sorry for Ding Shan. Tears fell from her eyes as she said, “Sister Shan, you’ve been through so much. How could there be such a person in the world?”

Ding Shan rubbed Xiao Zhao’s head in amusement and comforted her, “I’ve already seen through it. If I have hope, I won’t be sad anymore.”

Xiao Zhao sobbed, “Sister Shan, you did the right thing. Parents like this will only drag you down. Don’t worry, no matter what, you won’t be in the wrong. The fans will stand on your side!”

Ding Shan nodded, “I know. That’s why I can’t continue like this. This is also irresponsible to the fans. How can I live up to their love for me in my current state?”

Xiao Zhao wiped away her tears and asked Ding Shan, “Sister Shan, you just said that we’ll be planning our work from now on. Then what should we do next? We don’t have enough manpower.”

Ding Shan thought for a moment and said, “Check my job. Reject all the lousy movies. If there are good ones, postpone them for a month. We’ll use this time to recuperate and recruit more people.”

Xiao Zhao was a little hesitant. The current market was too competitive, and Ding Shan’s reputation had already declined greatly. Many new stars were emerging, and Xiao Zhao was afraid that Ding Shan would be eliminated after a break.

Ding Shan saw little Zhao’s worry and smiled. “The current path has already gone in the wrong direction. The best way is to stop and choose again. This is not a step backward, but to move forward for the better.”

Xiao Zhao nodded thoughtfully. “Then we have to choose a sure-win method in a month and make a magnificent comeback! This will instead make the public look at us in a new light!”

Ding Shan nodded approvingly. Xiao Zhao was indeed worthy of being the future gold-medal manager. Even though she was still inexperienced, she had already begun to show her talent.

The sadness in Xiao Zhao’s heart was washed away, her heart was filled with enthusiasm. “Sister Shan, I will work hard! I will help you win more glory that belongs to you. I will let everyone know that you are the best and that you deserve better!”

Ding Shan was also affected by Xiao Zhao. Her heart was a little agitated. She wanted to walk openly under the most dazzling spotlight and enjoy the thousands of applause that she had missed.

Ding Shan looked at Xiao Zhao gently. “Let’s cheer for them together. We can do it!”

Then.., Ding Shan instructed, “From now on, we will cut all ties with the past. We must completely reject those lousy films that they have accepted in the past and choose a different way to make a comeback. It would be best if it’s a variety show.”

Ding Shan’s previous schedule was filled with all kinds of films and commercial performances. Although she was called the daughter of the nation, it was only because the audience had seen her outstanding appearance since she was young and had a good impression of her. However, Ding Shan did not have any other topics to talk about. She always gave people the feeling of being out of touch.

Now, the best way to get close to the public and show Ding Shan’s image at different levels was to participate in a variety of shows, so that the public could quickly understand Ding Shan’s true character and strength. On the other hand, it could quickly increase the public’s favorable impression of her.

Xiao Zhao immediately understood and agreed. She quickly took out her notebook and carefully screened it.

The more she read, the more Xiao Zhao frowned. Ding Shan’s schedule for the next half a year had been occupied by all kinds of low-budget movies and TV series. Some of them were only online dramas and could not make it onto the television station. Those people were very shrewd. With almost the same amount of money, they could hire a former movie queen. They did not have to worry about the hot topics.

Yang Hua and Ding Wan did not care about the director’s crew and script at all. Some of them were even selling dog meat. Xiao Zhao found that the source of the investment was unclear after a little investigation. However, as long as they agreed on the price, they would take it.

Xiao Zhao was so angry that her hands were shaking. If sister Shan did not wake up and had continued to be deceived by them, she would be finished. She might even be involved in a lawsuit.

Ding Shan could see that Xiao Zhao was not in the right state. She guessed how ridiculous her job content would be. She laughed self-deprecatingly. “I was thinking too much. There isn’t any good job that needs to be postponed, right? Just reject them all.”

Xiao Zhao was a little hesitant. “But many of them have already signed the contracts. Rejecting them would be considered a breach of contract.”
