She made tea for Frank as she wanted to show her friendliness. However, Frank did not like how she brewed tea and even asked her to brew a new cup. It was simply outrageous.
How could Yuna, who had never done this before, tolerate this? But she kept muttering in her heart, “I’m under the roof, and I have no choice but to lower my head.” After that, Yuna fumed and went downstairs to the Administrative Department’s pantry to make another cup of tea for Frank.
When Frank received the new cup of tea, he sniffed it and blew on it. After he took a sip, Yuna thought that she would get a compliment or even a thank you, but in the end, the Chairman’s face turned black and said. “Get out.”
He did not know where this woman found the tea leaves. The taste was bitter and astringent, even if she was the one who brewed the tea, wasn’t her attitude a little too superficial?
After being chased out by Frank suddenly, Yuna complained about his unpredictable mood in her heart. At the same time, she was happy to have more freedom to continue strolling down the stairs.
By the time she reached the 27th floor, most people had already finished their work and gone home. Coco Lin had finally finished her acting and left. Yuna strolled around slowly. She watched the staff finish up and tidy up the rest with curiosity.
When she was a celebrity, even though her Human Coordination Recognition System results were excellent, she would leave right away after the assessment. She had never expected that her series of data and progress would require so much effort from the staff behind the scenes.
Nunie Ding, who was watching the staff tidy up the scene, happened to catch a glimpse of Yuna as she stood by the side talking to the team about things to observe. She turned and turned back to stare at Yuna.
Then, Nunie walked up to Yuna and asked tentatively, “Yuna Xiao?”
Yuna, who wore a mask and kept a low profile, never thought anyone would recognize her. This person was Nunie Ding, where she only had a meal with her.
So, she was stunned for a moment, then took off her mask and smiled amiably. “I am. Hello, Ms. Ding.”
Nunie had a perfect impression of her. She knew Yuna had once worked in the highly competitive entertainment circle of Country X a few years ago. Moreover, she was very popular. At that time, she had even analyzed Yuna’s performance on the screen and discovered that her abilities were good. She had her unique characteristics and insights in acting.
However, Yuna chose to retire when she was at the peak of her career. Subsequently, Nunie met her at a dinner party. But at that time, she had already given up her status as a prestigious actress and focused on helping her younger sister Chloe Jiang obtain resources.
Nunie had always felt that it was a pity for Yuna. Coincidentally, she met Yuna this time around, and no one else was around. Nunie had a straightforward personality; she asked directly, “Why did you suddenly retire? Do you want to change your career, or are you preparing to take care of your husband and raise your children?”
Upon hearing these words, Yuna could not help but feel dejected as she brought up her sad past. Before discovering Shaun’s true colors, she wanted to give up her career and be a homey wife. Then, she was brainwashed by her father and stepmother, Howie and Nancy, into early retirement and worked behind the scenes to focus on helping her sister’s career.
Unfortunately, Chloe’s acting skills were not that outstanding. Under the Jiang family’s tremendous efforts, she could barely make it to the second or third league.
Thinking of this, Yuna replied, “I wasn’t sensible in the past and made the wrong move.”
“That’s quite a pity. Are you here today because you have the idea of making a comeback in the country?” Nunie observed Yuna’s expression and asked.
Yuna shook her head and replied, “The audience is different now. Moreover, it has already been a few years.”
In Country Hua, most of the audience liked beautiful looks, such as Luna Bai, Yuna’s facial features were grand and bright, and she had the characteristics of an easterner. Her unique style was one of the reasons why she was able to become popular overseas.
However, the entertainment industry changed very rapidly. After a few years, the audience would only fall in love with celebrities more in line with the public’s aesthetic standards. Yuna’s past glory had submerged in the torrent of time.
Therefore, Yuna’s career development in her home country might not necessarily be successful.
Seeing that Yuna denied it, Nunie was a little surprised and asked in return, “How could that be? Your acting skills are excellent, and you have a lot of personal characteristics. Only an artiste with strength and style could be truly recognized by the public. It’s the same no matter where it is, isn’t it?”
It was the first time since Yuna returned to Country Hua that she had heard others acknowledge her strength, rather than scheming against her glorious past and trying their best to squeeze out her value.
“Alright, I will seriously consider it.” Yuna smiled at Nunie from the bottom of her heart. She had been thinking about that sentence in her mind — “Only an artiste with strength and style could be truly recognized by the public.”.
Ever since her quiet return to Country Hua, in the process of helping Chloe gather resources, she had heard many directors say that in the local entertainment circle, acting skills were not necessary. Popularity was.
