An Ning continued to eat her food unaffected, then expressed her gratitude with particular sincerity. "Director Kang, I always thought that you were cold and indifferent. But now I understand that you are not only a strict mentor but also a good one. Thank you for being willing to guide me."
Director Kang glanced at her. "I do not treat every actress this way. I only do so because I see a former shadow of myself in you."
"..." An Ning looked at him curiously.
His shadow in herself? What kind of shadow?
Director Kang noticed her confusion and spoke directly. "An intense desire for success, the aspiration to stand out, the wish to make others take notice of you. And in your eyes, there is also a deep sense of vengeance."
An Ning blinked unconsciously; was she really that transparent?
Was she too poor at hiding, then?
