Chapter 1176: too little.

Madam yang revealed a worried expression. “you all know too little about shi yuqiang…”

“kuangen, cai ning, why don’t you come and sit in the study? everyone, get ready. you can call us when you’re ready to eat.” yang tian said and turned around and walked towards the study.

From the looks of it, he was going to have a private conversation with gu kuangen and his wife?

Madam yang followed the second floor as well. this villa was decorated with a sense of time, causing one’s heart to gradually calm down.

The study room was very large. there were bookshelves made of mahogany on all four sides, and they were filled with books.

Yang tian and lan jie sat on the dark red sofa at the side. “sit down. i’m really sorry. if i had let you guys avoid me earlier…”

Yang tian was still apologizing. it could be seen that he was really feeling guilty.

“mr. yang, you don’t have to apologize. even if it was an ordinary person, i would have stood up for him.” gu kuangen smiled faintly. “i dislike people like shi yuqiang the most.”

Yang tian sighed lightly. “actually, you should know that i was a director when i was young.”

Shi cai ning and gu kuangen both nodded. they had wanted to buy the copyright to yang tian’s book, so they naturally had to have a certain understanding of the author.

“actually, that time, it was me and shi yuqiang who had a conflict. the matter also involved my wife, lan jie. back then, lan jie was a newcomer and didn’t have much of a reputation. i was the one who brought her into the group.” yang tian said. at this moment, the servant brought tea over. he picked up the tea and took a sip.

Gu kuangen and shi caining listened quietly.

This was a grudge that belonged to yang tian’s generation, but shi yuqiang must have been very arrogant, right?

“shi yuqiang was the investor of the movie at that time. as you all know… there are too many unspoken rules and inside information in our country’s scriptwriter and director industry. yang tian originally didn’t care much about the progress of the movie because he only wanted to make money and didn’t care about how well a movie went. one day, he passed by and suddenly came into the crew on a whim to take a look. he found that xiao jie was very beautiful. that night, he invited one of our crew to dinner.” yang tian’s gaze had long memories.

“at that time, xiaojie and i were just friends. i admired her spirit and talent, and she admired my talent as a director. but i didn’t expect that yangtian would take a fancy to her and even want to subvert xiaojie.”

When yangtian said this, lan jie’s face turned cold.

“at that time, i was very angry and rejected her outright. shi yuqiang pressured me and said that if i didn’t cooperate with him, he would kick me out of the production team!” lan jie said softly. “naturally, i left the production team voluntarily. yangtian knew that the female lead had been replaced, so he left in anger.

“at that time, i went to see shi yuqiang and had an argument with him. because i wasn’t like the other directors who had been flattering him and obeying him, he said in a fit of anger that he would use all his connections to ruin my career as a director!” yang tian said lightly with a smile on his lips. “actually, i was very sad at that time because at that time, i was still a little famous director. it was my lifelong pursuit to make a movie that everyone would never forget.

“but shi yuqiang used his own advantages to suppress me. i had to give up all my work and go home to rest for a while. after that, my job search didn’t go well at all, so i had to study writing. fortunately, i had this talent when i was in college. the first book was published, but by accident, shi yuqiang knew that the author was me, so he had all the booksellers burn my books that night. he gave me three times as much money as all the books that were burned!”
