Liu Shan's words were full of information, and Gu Caiwei didn't know how to react for a while. She was stunned for a while before she recovered.
"He, I mean the father of the child, doesn't he care? Is he still a human being?"
"You misunderstood again. It wasn't because of him before."
Gu Caiwei was completely speechless at this time.
After Liu Shan came clean, she seemed to have relieved some of her burdens, and she actually took the initiative to ask: "Did you just want to say why I don't love myself so much?"
Gu Caiwei wanted to explain a few words, but was stopped by a hand. Liu Shan smiled as if to say she didn't mind.
"Self-love, I haven't heard these two words in many years."
"Let me tell you a story."
"When we first debuted, no one, including you, was famous at that time. There is a note in my file that I was a backup dancer for Queen Charlene at her concert. Do you remember?"
Gu Caiwei actually had no memory of such a long time ago, but Liu Shan didn't need her response and continued talking on her own.
"That was a long time ago, and I haven't been discovered by Mr. Peng and signed with the company."
"I'm very grateful to Mr. Peng, because without her, I would probably still be where I was back then, and I don't even know where I am today."
"Do you know how I became Charlene's backup dancer?"
"It is impossible for a big star like Charlene to choose her backup dancers one by one. There is a stage director to check them."
"At that time, he told me that I could go on stage if I wanted to, as long as I slept with him."
"I didn't agree at first. I had never done anything like this before. But he said it didn't matter, because there are many people who want opportunities."
"I had a boyfriend at that time, and I told him about it when I got back."
"In the end, he scolded me indiscriminately, called me vile, asked me if I could do anything, and then left angrily."
"I felt very aggrieved at the time. I thought to myself that I had never felt sorry for him, but I had suffered such a misunderstanding. I might as well give him another chance."
"So then I went on stage."
Liu Shan paused for a moment, then looked at Gu Caiwei beside the bed and asked, "Does it sound particularly ridiculous to you?"
"Stage Director, isn't this someone we often come into contact with at work? He is always polite and even well-behaved when in front of you. Why is he like this?"
"I'm just a backup dancer for a concert. Is this such a great opportunity? Do I need to change it like this?"
Gu Caiwei has been in the industry for five years, and her first artist contract is about to expire. It is definitely impossible for her to say that she knows nothing about the messy things in the industry.
But she was still speechless.
Because knowing it, seeing it with your own eyes, and experiencing it personally are all different.
"You're right if you don't understand!"
"Because you are different from us. With me, Xu Yali, and the other people in the group, although we have formed a girl group, we are not the same people at all."
"The world you see is completely different from the world we see. Things that are taken for granted or easily available to you are extremely precious to us."
"So when I get along with you, I often wonder, are we living in the same world?"
"I actually understand very well why Xu Yali is so obsessed with you that she almost goes crazy. It's because she is so jealous that she is almost going crazy with jealousy!"
"I'm jealous too."
"You know, in fact, your family background is very good, and your parents are very capable people. These are all born with you, and I can accept them."
"You also have a good personality. Being your friend is a rare experience."
"It's so beautiful and dazzling that it makes me feel ashamed."
"Especially, we were all selected by President Peng. Why is it that even though you already have so much, even in the only place where we meet, your popularity as a star far exceeds ours?"
"Little red relies on support, big red relies on life."
"In fact, Mr. Peng told us the rules of the game in this industry early on. Even if we didn't understand them before, it's impossible not to understand them now."
"But we are not willing to give in!"
"We don't believe that we are that much worse than you, so we struggle desperately and trade our dignity for a pitiful opportunity, but we can still only become your supporting role."
"You know what's the funniest thing?"
"The backup dancer at Charlene's concert that you absolutely disdained turned out to be a rare opportunity that I have ever had."
"When Mr. Peng inspected me, he said that this might be an opportunity. But after we debuted and gained a little fame, the big star Charlene, who I didn't even talk to at the time, saw my information and took the initiative to contact me."
"Later, she even took me to perform together, maybe because she felt that I was destined to be with her, or maybe just to prove that she was willing to support the younger generations. It doesn't matter, I am grateful."
"Such a good relationship with my seniors is very important to me, but it seems not worth mentioning to you."
"There are many times when I have given up everything to fight for it, but in the end I got nothing. Even if the other party refuses to pay, as a female artist, I cannot take the initiative to speak out and seek justice for myself."
"In the end I got myself into this."
"I was in this hospital last night. I didn't know who else I could tell or discuss this matter with, so I just sat there all night."
Liu Shan has never said these words before.
Gu Caiwei was not particularly disappointed or angry, because she knew that it was easy to say hurtful words when such emotions were aroused.
However, there must be some sincerity in it, which still caused ripples in her.
Of course, Gu Caiwei would not feel that she had done anything wrong because of this, but Liu Shan's reminder allowed her to look at herself from a perspective she had never imagined.
"Do you know how lucky you are, Gu Caiwei?"
"Later I have accepted that you are the girl that God loves, and he has given you all the best things."
"So when I found out that your boyfriend is a young rich man, the media calls him the most powerful post-90s generation on earth, and you were childhood sweethearts in middle school, I wasn't surprised at all."
"I just looked at your boyfriend and remembered that I once had such a person beside me."
"He was far from that good. We were all just adults at that time and didn't understand anything. We had no ability or knowledge."
"I don't want to blame him for my subsequent experiences. I know that I chose the path myself."
"The reason why I hesitated at the beginning was because I longed for a glamorous life on stage. I may have realized that he was just a stumbling block, so I naturally used him as an excuse."
"I just occasionally think about what would have happened now if I had not accepted the unspoken rules at that time, I had gone back to my boyfriend to apologize to him, and I had given up my dream of becoming a star to be with him."
"This is not regret. If I could go back to that day, I'm not sure what I would choose."
"Gu Caiwei, you can't feel the same way."
"The stage director asked me something that I will remember for the rest of my life, but you will probably never have to face it."
