Reed listened to Allan's words and had wanted to ask more questions, but realizing that she didn't understand the situation between Allan and the others, she decided not to say anything more.
...
Manches City, Gotrend Entertainment.
Despite efforts to suppress the heat surrounding Sandy's recent incident, it still created a lot of buzz due to someone manipulating the situation behind the scenes. Haider did his best to salvage some of the upcoming endorsements and scripts, but many endorsements ended up being canceled.
In the past, Sandy might have been upset for several days or even a month after such incidents, but now they didn't seem to affect her at all. It could be because she had experienced a lot when she first entered the industry, or perhaps some previous experiences had opened her eyes to the true nature of people. Either way, Sandy remained unfazed by such incidents.
She understood that she couldn't control what others said about her. What mattered was her own conscience, not the opinions of others. Therefore, this recent incident didn't have much impact on Sandy.
Haider had initially wanted to comfort Sandy, but when he pushed open the door and saw her sitting on the couch, casually scrolling through her phone, her expression showed no signs of unhappiness. It seemed as though she wasn't the central figure in the recent online discussions.
"Are you in such a good mood?" Haider stood at the door for a moment before stepping into the office and asked softly.
Upon hearing Haider's words, Sandy quickly put away her phone and stood up. "Mr. Hughes."
Haider nodded at Sandy. "Sit down, no need to be nervous."
Sandy sat back down after Haider took his seat. "Jones said you wanted to see me."
"That's right," Haider confirmed. "I initially thought the recent online buzz might have affected you, and I wanted to talk to you about it. But now it seems like you don't need that."
Sandy chuckled lightly after listening to Haider. "Indeed, I don't. These things are child's play to me now. My mindset is still strong."
Haider nodded. "I can see that it hasn't affected you at all. I thought you might have some negative emotions because of these incidents, and I wanted to offer you some encouragement."
Sandy responded softly, "In the past, I might have considered leaving the industry altogether. But now, it's like a habit. I've gotten used to all kinds of unpleasant remarks. So, incidents like this don't bother me."
Haider had heard about Sandy's experiences when she was still struggling in the industry. She was like a magnet for criticism, no matter what she did. The things people said were truly hurtful.
For an average person, such pressure would be hard to bear, and even without any psychological issues, they might go crazy. But Sandy was different. She was like a resilient wildflower that grew amidst the cracks. The more others attacked her, the more she thrived.
In a short period of time, Sandy went from being a relatively unknown artist to a top-tier star. Not everyone could achieve such rapid progress.
During this rapid growth, others may have only seen the results, but Sandy alone bore the weight of the process. She carried the burden of everything, the bad and the worse.
People always assumed she had taken shortcuts, so even at her current status, there were still those who believed she wasn't a perfect artist and had countless flaws.
After listening to Sandy, Haider didn't say much. "I heard Mr. Hawkins is here. You don't need to come to the company for the next few days. Enjoy your time together. You'll join the cast in three days."
Sandy nodded. "Alright, I'll enjoy my life these two days and try not to cause any trouble for the company's PR department. But... if trouble follows me, it's not my responsibility, right?"
Haider chuckled. "As long as it's not trouble you actively seek, the company will handle it for you. Don't worry."
After hearing Haider's response, Sandy laughed softly. "It seems like I made the right choice this time. Mr. Hughes is indeed considerate."
