Chapter 94 Shen Yao Wants to Be a Martial Arts Actress

Before transmigrating, Shen Wancheng had taken a driving test during her university years, but she never passed a single time actually driving on the road.

Shen Wancheng felt that driving might be the only talent that God forgot to give her, as she was very easily distracted while driving.

She knew her driving instructor from her previous driving lessons. Every day after she finished practicing, the instructor would give her extra lessons and let her drive outside the city. Shen Wancheng would often drift off into her own thoughts and then be called back by the instructor.

I finally got my driver's license because I knew my instructor and had more opportunities to drive than others; practice makes perfect.

Now that she lives on Hong Kong Island, with a driver, Shen Wancheng has never considered driving herself; riding in a car is so much more comfortable.

But Shen Yao suddenly became very interested.

"I'll be careful, sis. Come with me to buy a car tomorrow, I don't know anything about cars."

Shen Wancheng remained silent.

"Do you think driving a car is like riding a horse, where you can just drive on the road as long as you have a car?"

Shen Yao was stunned. Her decision to drive was a spur-of-the-moment thing, and she had no idea that driving required certain conditions.

"Then how can I drive on the road?"

"You need to learn to drive, and then pass the test to get a driver's license before you can drive on the road."

Shen Yao's vision went black.

"Another exam?"

She hasn't even passed the jockey exam yet, and now if she wants to drive, she has to take the driving test.

Shen Yao was truly desperate.

If these assessments only involved practical skills, Shen Yao wouldn't be bothered, but every assessment required a written test.

Shen Yao has an advantage in the use of traditional Chinese characters in Hong Kong, as she can read and write them.

However, Hong Kong Island has not yet returned to China, so these assessments are conducted in a mix of Chinese and English, and Shen Yao from the English department doesn't understand any of it.

Shen Yao originally thought that she only needed to know basic English conversation. She had already told Xu Pingtao that starting tomorrow night, an English teacher would come to her residence to teach her English from 7:30 to 9:00 every night.

It seems that not only do you need to be able to communicate, but you also need to be able to write and recognize characters. Who knows what kind of exam she will have to take in the future.

Seeing that Shen Yao really wanted to drive herself, Shen Wancheng helped her plan.

"After you finish teaching Ms. Lan double-sided embroidery, hurry up and pass the jockey exam, and then learn to drive. By then, I might have earned my first real pot of gold, and I'll buy you a car."

Shen Wancheng didn't know if others had this mentality, but the first money they earned through their own abilities always felt special, and they wanted to spend it on the people they cared about most.

Shen Wancheng plans to buy herself a gift, buy Shen Yao a car, and... well, buy each of the three babies a longevity lock or something similar once she earns her own money.

Shen Yao understood the intimacy in Shen Wancheng's words.

She readily agreed, "Okay, when I earn my first money, I'll buy you a gift too, just for you."

Shen Wancheng said with a smile, "Your first paycheck was your jockey trainee salary, right? You got paid in less than a month."

"That's only HK$2000. What can you buy with that? It's not presentable."

Shen Wancheng asked, "So what do you want to do to make big money?"

"Hmm... I heard that jockeys win a lot of prize money in competitions, and I'll use it all to buy gifts for my sister."

"Okay, I'll be waiting for your gift."

At this point in the conversation, Shen Wancheng asked Shen Yao for the first time, "Now that you know a bit about Hong Kong, have you thought about what you want to do in the future? Actually, given our current status, you could just live a happy life like this, but I don't think you're the kind of person who wants to live a life of eating, drinking, and having fun."

“My sister knows me best. Of course, I can’t just eat, drink, and have fun and then get married and live out my life. Hong Kong is much more exciting than the ancient times I lived in. I have to make a name for myself in an industry so that I won’t have lived this life in vain.”

Shen Wancheng nodded. "Okay, so what are your plans now?"

"Now that I'm a jockey trainee, I'll definitely be competing as a jockey in the future. But just being a jockey isn't very interesting. I'll finish this job first, and by then I should have a better understanding of the horse racing industry before I develop my career in that area. What do you think, sister?"

"Yes, that's very practical."

Shen Yao continued, "But sister, actually I prefer martial arts to horseback riding. However, I've secretly looked into it, and in this era, the only places where martial arts can be used are martial arts schools and the security industry. Both of these industries are essentially about protecting others. Even if I wanted to do them, you and Grandpa wouldn't let me. And then there's..."

At this point, Shen Yao glanced at Shen Wancheng, her tone a little unsure, "Then there are martial arts actors."

Shen Yao's heart jumped as soon as she finished speaking.

Shen Wancheng had told her about the dark side of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and she would never accept those unspoken rules. She was just telling the truth about the industry where martial arts could be put to good use.

But with Shen Mei's stubbornness as an example, Shen Yao was worried that Shen Wancheng would be angry.

Shen Wancheng was stunned for a moment; she really hadn't expected Shen Yao to pay attention to this.

"You want to be a martial arts actor?"

Shen Yao hurriedly explained.

"It's not that I wanted to, I just meant that martial arts can be used in professions such as martial arts actors."

Shen Wancheng noticed Shen Yao's unease and patted the back of her hand to comfort her.

"Don't overthink it, I'm not angry."

"After we got television, you must have watched a lot of period dramas. These dramas are very popular, largely because people admire the life of people in ancient times, who could fly over rooftops and roam the world freely."

“You come from ancient times. Although you went to the battlefield with your father and brothers, according to the ancients’ thinking, women were ultimately destined to stay in the inner quarters. So I understand your initial motivation for wanting to become an actress. You just wanted to experience the carefree life in ancient times and make up for your regrets.”

Shen Wancheng's simple words brought tears to Shen Yao's eyes.

Shen Yao rubbed against Shen Wancheng's arm.

"Sister, how can you understand me so well?"

"Because in this world, we are the closest people to each other."

Shen Wancheng had never said such sentimental words before, and as soon as she said them, Shen Yao could no longer hold back her tears.

But Shen Yao felt that crying was shameful.

She quickly wiped away her tears with her sleeve.

"I don't want to be a martial arts actor anymore, I can't let my sister worry."

Shen Yao was taken aback.

"I didn't say you couldn't do it."

"Ok?"

Now it was Shen Yao's turn to be taken aback.

Didn't you say the entertainment industry is chaotic?

Shen Wancheng said.

"The entertainment industry may be chaotic, but those who are bullied and exploited are usually people without connections. You are not without connections. If you really want to be an actor, I will talk to your grandfather for you."

Shen Yao shook her head.

"Forget it. Although I don't know much, I have heard that the wealthy circles look down on actors and call them 'actors.' I know best that it's not a good title. Even if Grandpa agrees on the surface, he definitely won't approve in his heart. It's hard for me to help someone against their will."

Shen Wancheng laughed.

"Then you should wait a little longer. I'll back you up, be your support, and be your producer in the future."
