After breaking off the engagement, she became the CEO's favorite

The next day, Lu Ranran took a day off, which was rare, on the pretext of feeling unwell.

While Chang Hong was telling her to have a good rest, she also tactfully revealed her current situation.

"You know, Xia Tianxin is always noisy on the set, and she can't control her mouth."

"As soon as the show is over, they start talking nonsense everywhere. We don't care if we listen to them."

"But there are many entertainment reporters around, so if they hear what I say..."

Lu Ranran understood that Chang Hong was thinking about herself, so she just comforted him in a gentle voice:

"Don't worry, Sister Hong. I have my own plans."

"I will be back tomorrow and will not affect the crew's filming progress."

Chang Hong said a few more polite words before hanging up the phone.

On this side, after Lu Ranran hung up the phone, she opened the chat box with another person.

"Shi Zhuang, what's the situation?"

The words "Entering" soon appeared at the top.

"Sister Ran, Xia Tianxin has been talking about the gossip she heard."

"She said that she seemed to see Sister Ran enter Yang Nian's room. On the surface, she was saying that you were discussing a new cooperation with Yang Nian."

"But it also implies that Mr. Shen was not present during this conversation."

This was not unexpected by Lu Ranran.

"Where is He Meimei?" she asked.

"I came here, but I was absent-minded and made many mistakes. Xia Tianxin scolded me badly."

Lu Ranran rolled her eyes, replied "I know", then lay down on the bed with a "bang" and went back to sleep.

I have to say, it feels great to not have to go to work on a weekday.

After a sound sleep all day, Lu Ranran came to the set in high spirits.

The phone shook, and it was a photo sent by Xiao Li.

Lu Ranran took a look, put the phone back in his pocket, and walked towards Hu Pai with the script.

"Director, I have adjusted a few of the points we discussed earlier."

"Please communicate with the actors later. Sister Hong has something to talk to me about."

Hu Pai nodded, took the script and began to read it carefully.

He understood that Lu Ranran's status was different from that of ordinary screenwriters. If Chang Hong was looking for her, it must be because of something more important.

The changes were not major, and he could solve any problems himself.

So, when the actors started waiting in line one after another, Hu Pai shouted:

"Xia Tianxin, Wang Yue come over here. There are a few places in today's scenes that need to be adjusted."

He Meimei's eyes were still swollen, it seemed that Xia Tianxin had scolded her badly yesterday and she cried all night. Now she spoke with a heavy nasal tone.

She was absent-mindedly packing Xia Tianxin's personal belongings.

A big hand suddenly covered her mouth from behind!

"Don't move!" He Meimei turned around in horror and saw that it was Shi Zhuang.

His face was filled with a seriousness that brooked no resistance.

"Don't talk, follow me, or..."

He Meimei nodded quickly.

After a brief moment of tension, the two men walked through the crowd as if nothing had happened and headed towards the rest room not far away.

It was originally used as a rest area for actors waiting for their performances.

Because Zhao Feifei was away at the moment, it was left to Chang Hong and Lu Ranran.

When He Meimei saw the door of the rest room, her legs unconsciously went limp, and she had to rely on Shi Zhuang to pull her forward.

Shi Zhuang pushed the door open.

The moment He Meimei saw the people in the house, she fell to her knees with a plop.

"Ran, Sister Ranran, it's all my fault! I was wrong!"

"You, you are so magnanimous, please forgive me, I didn't mean it!"

Lu Ranran signaled Shi Zhuang to close the door and go out.

Now, there are only Lu Ranran and He Meimei in the room.

Lu Ranran sat cross-legged in a relaxed manner on the chair, holding her phone in both hands without even lifting her eyelids.

"Ah, what did you do wrong?"

"I, I shouldn't have lied to you and brought you to the hotel..."

"Then tell me," Lu Ranran tilted his head and looked down at He Meimei, "Why did you bring me to the hotel?"

"I, I don't know. Sister Xin said that as long as she finds an excuse to get you—"

"Sister Xin said?"

Lu Ranran frowned and said:

"She planned all this?"

"No, no! Sister Xin just - ah!" He Meimei realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly covered her mouth.

"You won't tell me, right?" Lu Ranran looked at her for a long time, and seeing that she had no intention of confessing, he sighed.

"Okay, let's change the actors."

Lu Ranran put down her crossed legs, stood up, stretched, and prepared to walk out the door.

The next second, He Meimei knelt down and stood in front of Lu Ranran.

"No, no! Sister Xin works very hard, and, and..."

"She's perfect, isn't she? You won't be able to find another suitable one any time soon—"

"Why do you think we can't find it?" Lu Ranran squatted down, sat on the floor, and looked at He Meimei levelly.

"We have money and power. As long as Sister Hong makes the announcement, do you know how many artists will come to us?"

"Is Xia Tianxin suitable?" Lu Ranran sneered, "If we think about it, how many suitable people there will be? Have you ever thought about it?"

He Meimei couldn't help but stand there in a daze.

She always felt that Lu Ranran was gentle, approachable, and not arrogant. She also liked to be close to her and talk to her.

But now, the Lu Ranran in front of her made her feel strange, even scared and disgusted.

The faces in front of her seemed to coincide with those who had forced her to marry and spoke ill of her.

A feeling of resentment and dissatisfaction instantly occupied He Meimei's mind.

"Why!"

"We are obviously working very hard to adapt, me too, and so is Sister Xin."

“But why are you so high up and can’t you see anything?”

"We can't be angry, we can't object, we can't cry, we can only laugh, the happier the better! This way, you people will give us some leftovers!"

"Why? We've tried so hard to smile, why is it still wrong, it's still wrong!!"

Lu Ranran let He Meimei vent her anger, but there was no sign of anger on her face.

After she finished speaking and her mood calmed down a little, Lu Ranran said lightly:

"If you want to blame someone, blame this unfair society. We are all human beings, but we are divided into superior and inferior. The rich and powerful band together to become even richer; the poor and powerless can only live a life of toil and helplessness, and no one will remember them when they die."

"If you want to blame someone, blame God for being unfair. Why do some people live in luxury while others are abandoned in a garbage dump and have to leave everything to fate?"

"If you want to blame someone, just blame your bad luck. Why did God close all the doors but not leave a window for you?!"

"This is your fate, do you accept it?"

"I don't admit it!" He Meimei shouted with red eyes, but then she laughed at herself and said with a depressed look, "I don't admit it, huh, what's the use?"

"Of course."

He Meimei widened her eyes and looked at Lu Ranran.

"......What do you mean?"

"What I mean is," Lu Ranran said slowly, "you have to plan for yourself."

"Think carefully about which side is truly beneficial to you."
