Wen Ran vaguely remembered that after her mother passed away, she went home to pack her things, but found that there was nothing left in the house.
Even the jewelry her mother wore on a daily basis and the dowry she brought when she got married were sold by her father.
Wen Ran was so angry that she had a big fight with her father and moved out to live on her own.
Later, someone investigated and found out that her mother's dowry was bought by a developer named Zhou Guobao for 40 million yuan.
Wen Ran wanted to buy it back, but the other party directly offered 100 million yuan.
Perhaps it was because Wen Ran was still young at the time and didn't know how to hide her thoughts. Seeing that she wanted to buy it very much, the other party refused to lower the price no matter what.
Later, Wen Ran made an agreement with him that Zhou Guobao would not be allowed to develop the mountain within three years, and she would raise 100 million yuan during this period to buy the mountain.
If the amount is not enough, 10 million will be used as compensation to Zhou Guobao.
From then on, Wen Ran started to work hard to make money. Instead of finding a job based on the psychology she had studied in college, she chose to enter the entertainment industry.
She chose to buy an apartment here because she could see the mountain from the balcony.
Every time she saw that mountain, Wen Ran would feel unusually warm and calm, as if her mother was still by her side.
When Xiao Zhao heard Wen Ran talk about his family affairs for the first time, there was a layer of heartache in her eyes when she looked at Wen Ran.
The two chatted about other things for a while. In the evening, Xiao Zhao went to buy some vegetables and cooked. Wen Ran thought it was delicious and ate so much that he filled himself up.
It was late at night and Wen Ran was not sleepy, so Xiao Zhao accompanied her to watch a movie in the living room.
I said what I had always wanted to say.
"Sister Ran, you might be unhappy when I say this, but I still want to say that Mr. Shang treats you very well.
Especially when you were sick this time, he took two hours to rush from Beijing to Beihai with a medical team, and took care of you for so many days. I really don't believe that he doesn't care about you."
Wen Ran watched the movie without saying a word.
She had never truly been herself around Shang Jingchi.
Even if Shang Jingchi treats her well, it is only through her that he treats the person deep in his heart well.
They're all fake.
"Sister Ran, actually... A few days ago, Emperor Qi called me and asked me about your situation and mentioned that the leading actress had been replaced.
"Actor Qi and I both thought you didn't want to act anymore, so we didn't dare ask any more questions. Actor Qi said everyone on the crew was very sorry you were leaving, and that if you continued acting you would definitely become famous in the future."
Xiao Zhao kept chattering a lot into Wen Ran's ear.
Wen Ran understood what Xiao Zhao meant.
The entertainment industry is different from other places. As long as a work becomes popular, you can even change your fate.
If Wen Ran wants to buy a mountain, he must make money.
If you want to make money, you have to be popular.
Filming "Jiang Hu Ling" is her biggest chance to turn things around at the moment.
Shang Jingchi is the investor, and no one dares to let her continue acting unless he gives the order.
As for someone like Shang Jingchi, it is definitely impossible to go against him.
Do you really want to go to Shang Jingchi again and surrender?
Wen Ran thought about it all night and couldn't sleep all night.
Early the next morning, she took Xiao Zhao's cell phone and drove alone to the suburbs of Beijing.
We stopped in front of a small western-style house filled with African violets.
Wen Ran got out of the car and rang the doorbell.
After a while, a young man with cool gray hair and silver glasses came out.
He was the teacher of Wen Ran’s gold medal stand-in training class. His name was Shi Yang, and Wen Ran usually called him Teacher Shi.
Like Shang Jingchi, Shi Yang has almond-shaped eyes, deep and three-dimensional facial features, and thin lips, but their personalities are completely opposite.
Shi Yang is a very gentle person. Wen Ran has been studying with him and has never seen him lose his temper. He always has a smile on his face.
He is also very patient. No matter what questions the students ask, he will explain them in detail until the other party understands.
Shi Yang opened the door and saw Wen Ran. His eyes were gentle and he smiled, "I thought you wouldn't come again."
Wen Ran had performed extremely well in the training class and everything went smoothly after graduation, so the two of them didn't contact each other much after Wen Ran left.
Wen Ran suddenly remembered that he came empty-handed and looked a little embarrassed.
"I'm sorry, Teacher Shi, I was too anxious. I will definitely bring a gift next time."
The smile on Shi Yang's lips was still as gentle as the spring breeze. Not only did he not care, he also kindly comforted Wen Ran, "Don't worry about these. If you really bring a gift, then you are treating the teacher as an outsider."
Shi Yang walked in front, led Wen Ran into the room, and thoughtfully made a cup of scented tea for Wen Ran.
Shi Yang likes to paint on weekdays, and his paintings are hung everywhere in the small Western-style building.
Wen Ran didn't have time to appreciate it carefully. He sat on the sofa and quickly recounted what happened between him and Shang Jingchi.
Shi Yang listened carefully and finally asked a question.
"So you feel that things are not going as you expected?"
Wen Ran nodded. "I've been with him for over a year. At the beginning, things went smoothly. As long as I did what he wanted, he would always give me what I wanted. But now, his temper is getting worse and worse, and he's started to control and restrict me."
Wen Ran thought about it all night last night but couldn't figure out where the problem lay.
Shi Yang remained silent and began to think.
Wen Ran picked up the teacup and drank tea, waiting for Shi Yang to speak.
"Do you spend much time together now?" Shi Yang suddenly asked.
Wen Ran put down his teacup and answered seriously, "We used to see each other once a month, but now... we're together almost every day."
When Shi Yang heard this, he pursed his lips and chuckled, "Maybe you haven't realized yet, but he has fallen in love with you."
"What?"
Wen Ran screamed and stood up from the sofa, unable to believe what he heard.
Shang Jingchi fell in love with her? How is this possible?
"You heard right. Because you behaved so well in front of him, he values you more and more." Shi Yang thought about it and asked doubtfully, "I remember you graduated with a psychology degree, so you should understand?"
"What do you know?"
Shi Yang slowed down his tone and said word by word: "For human beings, the more they like something, the stronger their desire becomes."
Wen Ran sat down again, trying to remain calm, muttering, "But I'm just imitating the person in his heart."
"Maybe he likes the way you imitate him."
“…” Wen Ran really didn’t know what to say.
Shang Jingchi likes her?
She hadn't thought about this question.
Thinking about what Shang Jingchi did to me that day, is that a sign of liking someone?
If you like it, that's too scary.
In the end, Wen Ran left the small villa with the eight words that Shi Yang told her.
"To retreat is to advance, to let go is to catch."
.
Shang Group.
At the morning meeting, Shang Jingchi scolded all the managers of each department without exception.
All he said was dissatisfaction with their work.
Xu Yuan stood aside and looked at his colleagues with sympathy.
"You are all so slow at work, what's the point of the company keeping you?"
Shang Jingchi's handsome face was terribly gloomy.
