CHAPTER 69: CHAPTER 069 IDEAL

Director Qian was all smiles and wasn’t the least bit annoyed by the rejection: "At such a young age, you have such extraordinary literary talent and your own opinions. That’s great, far better than we were back then."

Then, he said to Sheng Tang’s parents, "Your daughter is remarkable!"

"Not at all, not at all, you’re too kind," Sheng Tang’s father quickly said.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Director Qian left with the teaching secretary, and Mr. Bai invited Sheng Tang’s whole family and Jiang Baocu to dinner.

Sheng Tang received the honor certificate, feeling very pleased inside.

At the dinner table, Mr. Bai repeatedly praised Sheng Tang.

"...not stage-frightened, very poised," Mr. Bai said. "It’s truly rare."

At this moment, her mother interjected, "Tangtang, do you really want to apply to the film academy?"

"I wasn’t sure before, but today I’ve made up my mind," Sheng Tang said with a smile. "Grandma, Dad, Mom, please support me. I won’t let you down."

With others present, her parents and grandma all smiled.

Grandma said, "Of course, we support you. You’re the treasure of the family; who else would we support if not you?"

Her parents just nodded with a smile, not seeming strongly opposed.

Indeed, today Sheng Tang had made up her mind.

Most of her classmates had already planned their futures: either going abroad or taking the college entrance exam.

But Sheng Tang, in her previous life, had lived for 38 years, and spent almost 20 years in the entertainment industry. All her survival skills were in that industry.

There had been tough times before.

This competition made her realize that she truly enjoyed performing under the spotlight.

On the stage, she was at ease with any technique, confident and proud. Without this profession, what else could she do?

What else could she be so skilled at?

Acting, singing, and performing in dramas were her whole career. Her adept social skills had all been honed in the entertainment circle.

She was no longer conflicted; fame must be seized early!

After dinner, Sheng Tang’s family returned home. Jiang Baocu’s driver came to pick her up, and Mr. Bai drove himself back.

In the living room, her parents kept her for a talk.

"You never mentioned wanting to apply to a film academy before," her mother said.

Sheng Tang asked, "Mom, is it because our family can’t afford it?"

Her father replied, "Dad and Mom earn enough for your schooling. Money isn’t the issue. It’s just that we’re both teachers and have no connections in the entertainment industry. Are you sure you want to tread this path? If you do well on the college entrance exam and get into S University, even if you can’t stay there to teach, Dad can find you a position at the Geological University. But if you go to the film academy, we won’t be able to help you."

"You both cherish me and have given me so much warmth, which is the greatest gift," Sheng Tang said. "Dad, although I’m not an adult yet, I want to make my own decisions. If you disagree, I’ll still consider your opinion."

Her mother smiled helplessly and patted her head.

"We don’t disagree," her mother said. "How could we cut off our child’s dreams? If you’re willing, then prepare well."

Sheng Tang agreed.

Her mother then asked, "Do you want to learn something specific? Maybe an instrument? You learned guitar before and took singing lessons."

No wonder the original owner’s voice was so good.

Sheng Tang smiled, "But I already know how to play the guitar and sing. I’ll start by losing weight. I’m only in the second year of high school. I can prepare for the art exam when I get to the third year."

Without a nap today, Sheng Tang was a bit tired.

She took a bath and lay down, but the phone suddenly rang.

Sheng Tang picked it up and saw it was Gu Shiting.
