However, Ding Yun's so-called "let him be" merely meant she would no longer expect her son to carry her, not that she would stop helping Liu Yuan navigate the entertainment industry.
Thus, Liu Yuan's resources remained unchanged.
He still had all his instructors.
The only difference was that Ding Yun no longer insisted on him being exceptionally diligent, becoming much more lenient in all aspects.
And Liu Yuan, lacking self-control, soon became lazier, as was inevitable.
Ding Yun initially thought that as he muddled along and faced more criticism, he might eventually give up on the entertainment industry. However, she had underestimated her son's thick skin. He came to her for help.
Not for more resources.
Nor for her to invest or force people into roles.
Instead, he wanted Ding Yun to research whether there were any pills to make him smarter, improve his voice, make his body more flexible, or enhance his acting skills.
That's right, he wanted Ding Yun to give him a cheat code.
"Do you think I'm omniscient and omnipotent?"
At this moment, Ding Yun's eyes nearly rolled out of her head. He was truly her biological son; if he weren't, who could have such a thick skin?
"Mom, my dearest mother, please.
Look, you've researched so many cosmetics with special effects, and you've developed so many health supplements that are far more effective than many prescription drugs, all within just a few months. This proves your potential is immense.
Even scientific giants would bow down to your intellect!
You are destined to be the light of the future!
Indeed, you are destined to lead the future.
Therefore, what I'm asking for certainly won't be particularly difficult for you. Please help me. My dance instructor says I started training too late and my bones are stiff. Now, when I stretch, the pain makes me scream like a tortured pig every day.
My singing instructor has practically told me I have no talent and should have some self-awareness. And my mind isn't very sharp; I learn everything relatively slowly.
You know this yourself.
Otherwise, my academic performance wouldn't be so poor.
Please save your poor son!
If you don't help me, I won't be able to last long in this entertainment industry. Then I'll have no choice but to come home and be a rich second generation who just eats and waits to die. Mom, my dearest Mommy, please take pity on your delicate son!"
It must be said, the entertainment industry is excellent at building one's thick skin. In such a short time, Liu Yuan could already skillfully flatter and act spoiled.
Although it was slightly artificial and disgusting, at least his face didn't flush, nor did he feel embarrassed.
His thick skin had indeed been honed.
"Stop grossing me out. Sit properly and act normal. Tell me honestly, the truth.
What exactly happened to stimulate this?
You didn't say any of this for the past six months, and now you're suddenly bringing it up. I'm sure it's not a sudden whim.
So, just tell me the truth."
Ding Yun not only possessed all the memories of the original owner but had also spent over a year with Liu Yuan. While she couldn't say she knew his personality like the back of her hand, she certainly had some understanding of it. Therefore, she couldn't help but ask again, helplessly.
"Mom, you are too wise and mighty.
Nothing can be hidden from you. My first movie is out recently, right? Well, I wanted to seize this opportunity and strike while the iron was hot, so I posted..."
"Just shut up, and you've already thanked me!"
