Chapter 115: Chapter One-Hundred and Fifteen: Discipline

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

The program Shi Xiu wanted to participate in was a live reality show with ten episodes and scheduled to finish recording within two months—time would be tight, and the workload intense. Shi Xiu wanted to participate because Yun Liu would also be participating.

Recently, Yun Liu was struggling, plagued by negative news. Yun Zhang asked their company’s best and most well-connected manager, Tan Ning, to be Yun Liu’s manager. Tan Ning was famous for having a bad temper; she was one of the pillars of Yun Corporations and managed her artistes with a strict hand.

Yun Zhang didn’t choose Tan Ning to be Yun Liu’s manager before because he feared the woman’s stern attitude would hurt his sister. When Tan Ning’s temper flared up, she wouldn’t even show him—her boss—respect. That temperament was also why Tan Ning had a high reputation in the industry.

This time, Yun Zhang hardened his heart and decided to discipline Yun Liu properly. He also wanted Yun Liu to properly build her career rather than having her finger in every pie like before and poorly managing all of them. Instead, it would be better to let her hone her acting skills for a few years. It would help her to transition to other career paths—should she wish to—if she had a few presentable films.

Yun Liu knew that she was in the wrong. Although unhappy with the arrangement. she didn’t dare to obiect. After all. Ding Pei’s case hadn’t been concluded yet. Yun Zhang used this to threaten her to keep this matter quiet from their parents in case she whined to them about it and distorted the facts.

Yun Zhang is determined to discipline his sister this time. However, in Yun Liu’s eyes, this was just more proof that Yun Zhang didn’t truly care about her because they weren’t blood-related.

Tan Ning didn’t care what the siblings thought. No matter who or what, the artists under her management had to listen to her, though she didn’t think Yun Liu would make it far. She only took Yun Liu in out of respect for her boss.

After considering Yun Liu’s various qualities, Tan Ning felt that, right now, the best move for her was to take on more variety shows to make the public more familiar with her and accumulate more popularity. Tan Ning wanted to build her up as the obedient and kind girl next door. She planned to increase the buzz about Yun Liu as much as possible by presenting her as modest and patient despite her rich family background.

Yun Liu threw a huge tantrum over this. How could someone like her lower her status to become some variety show guest? She was the lead actress of a movie! Although her movie’s box office results weren’t looking good, she was definitely better than those variety show guests who never made it to the big screens!

However, Tan Ning ignored her temper and said, “Do you want to do this or not? If you do, then pack up and join the production team. If you don’t, stop wasting my time and GET LOST.”

Yun Liu felt so wronged that she didn’t even dare to cry. She had no choice but to comply. Beggars can’t be choosers; no one else would dare to be her manager if Tan Ning didn’t want her. Therefore, she could only pack up and join the production crew.

Before she left, Tan Ning reminded her, “You must be careful with what you say and do because it’s a live broadcast. I would prefer you keep silent instead of saying something you shouldn’t. Do you understand? The best thing to do when you don’t know what you’re doing is to keep your mouth shut. You must focus on the job!”

Yun Liu nodded and said nothing. Tan Ning knew she bore her a grudge, so she let the behavior go, and stated, “After this is done, we will put out word that you’re not the Yun family’s biological daughter. The Yun family doesn’t want you to remain unaware of who your birth parents are, so they want to help you find your parents and fulfill your wish. This coincides with the plot of Yun Nan’s ‘4:30 P.M.’ This isn’t something anyone else could take advantage of! You have to make good use of the opportunity! Cherish it!”

Yun Liu frowned and retorted, “I don’t want to look for my birth parents. I’m pretty happy with the Yun family!”

“What are you worried about?” Tan Ning sneered. “If your birth parents leave much to be desired, just continue looking! No one else can force you if you don’t admit they’re your parents.”

She continued, “You can keep looking and not find them. The more you search for them, the more your fans will feel sorry for you! This can only benefit your reputation! And what if your birth family is more influential than the Yuns?

Wouldn’t you have a better home then?”

Tan Ning looked derisive as she uttered the last sentence; even she thought her own words were unlikely. Yun Nan didn’t take them to heart; however, the first half of what she said was quite tempting. Of course, Yun Nan had to make good use of anything she could make use of.

Yun Nan’s opinion of Tan Ning had changed a little. She was indeed a top artist manager; she had some intelligence, unlike Ding Pei. Though that woman was obedient, her plans always fizzled out, and Yun Liu had to clean up her mess.

After some thought, she was no longer protesting toward the job that Tan Ning had arranged for her. She picked up the script and asked, “Who else will be in the show?”

“Who cares?” Tan Ning said flippantly. “Just do your part. You can suppress and trample on those you can. Other than the two famous seniors who you have to be respectful towards, you don’t have to care about anyone else..”
