The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.

"How could I not give you face? Cheers!" Director Yu raised his glass, trying to divert everyone's attention.

"So, Director Yu, what do you think of this beautiful woman next to me?" the man asked, beckoning Su Ran 2.0.

Director Yu gave a thumbs up, "Beautiful, very beautiful, it's obviously original."

The man and Su Ran (version 2.0) both turned pale, but they couldn't say anything.

At this moment, someone took out the script and placed it in front of Director Yu.

He flipped through it casually, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

Seeing that Director Yu remained silent, the person handing over the script smiled and said:

"Here's the thing, our Star Entertainment recently purchased an IP script and would like to invite Director Yu to collaborate. After all, Director Yu's debut work was an idol romance drama, which fits the theme we want to shoot very well."

Director Yu used the gesture of holding a glass while drinking to hide his eye-rolling.

He closed the script, tapped his fingers to signal the waiter to refill his glass, and said, "You've got the wrong person for this play."

"The original author of this drama also thinks highly of you," the person added.

"I don't want to take it." Director Yu pointed to the script.

The man was stunned. "This..."

“I said, I don’t want to take it,” Director Yu repeated.

The man could only nod. "Director Yu, we're not in a hurry for your answer right now. Please consider it. Our Star Entertainment will do everything we can to cooperate with your work..."

"I'm not considering it," Director Yu interrupted him directly. "I don't plan to take on any new scripts for the time being."

"Director Yu, this is a hugely popular IP..." The man tried to persuade him further.

"So what if it's a popular IP? Can't I refuse it?" Director Yu retorted.

The man was speechless.

Zheng Xianyao's face turned cold. "If Director Yu doesn't give me face, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"It's like I'm someone who has no connections in the entertainment industry. After all, I've been in this business for so many years," Director Yu muttered to himself.

"Director Yu, are you sure you don't want to take the role?"

"It's getting late, I should go back to sleep. If Mr. Zheng called me here to discuss this matter, then there's no point in talking about it." Director Yu's refusal was crystal clear.

Director Yu unilaterally believes that he and Guiyin are good friends, and Su Ran is also Guiyin's good friend. How could he film a pirated version of Su Ran in front of Guiyin?

Although Yu Duoduo is a ruthless swindler, he still has principles.

After the movie ended, Su Ran didn't eat any barbecue.

Let's find a classic movie to cleanse our eyes.

When they got back, Ghost Voice's dedicated phone received dozens of messages.

Director Yu: [Happy New Year!]

Director Yu: [The pirated Su Ran asked me to act in her movie, but I refused.] Accompanied by a smug emoji.

Director Yu: [So, what do you think? Am I a good guy?]

Director Yu: [They invested hundreds of millions, and I just left.]

Director Yu: [You've got to treat me to a big meal.]

Director Yu: [I'm having a bit of trouble with the end credits song. Why don't you sing it? We don't need the big meal.]

……

Gu Cai: [Happy New Year.]

Gu Cai: [Liking you is my business. Just be yourself and leave me alone.]

Gu Cai: [I bought a cat, do you like it? Would you like to come and see it?]

Gu Cai uploaded a picture of a snow-white kitten.

Zhong Jue: [I'm a bit busy today. Happy New Year!]

Zhong Jue: [Don't forget our contract. Although you're a freelancer, the contract stipulates that you must take on at least two variety shows a year. I didn't want to talk about work with you during the Chinese New Year, but it turns out that work is the only thing we talk about.]

Zhong Jue: [Pay attention to me.]

Then he opened Su Ran's dedicated phone.

An Yecheng: [Happy New Year.]

An Yecheng: [I'm taking you to see my mom; she's been thinking about you for a long time.]

An Yecheng: [Have you eaten?]

Feng Junhao, whom I don't know when he added: 【Happy New Year】

Feng Junhao: [Don't overthink the blessings between classmates.]

Su Ran thought to herself, "You don't have to emphasize that."

New Year's Eve passed smoothly, and the next day, Su Ran took a long leave, packed her bags, and went back to the countryside with her grandmother and Little Butterfly.

Before going, she made a special trip to the prison to see the Shi couple.

The man looked haggard and thin. When he saw Su Ran, his eyes were full of pleading, hoping that Su Ran would support him after he was released from prison.

The woman's appearance was no longer as beautiful and full as before; her eyes were filled with hatred, as if she wanted to tear Su Ran apart and drink her blood.

Su Ran was very happy to see that they were not doing well, and she did not hide her smile in front of them at all.

"You all deserve this."

"I will pay you the minimum alimony in accordance with the law, and don't expect anything else."

"Do you hate me for ruining your daughter? When you were destroying me, did you ever think that this would be the end for you two?"

"Don't worry, your daughter is alive, but that's all."

“I have a friend who has been in this prison and has some connections there. You guys must have had a very ‘comfortable’ time in there.”

Su Ran personally drew a perfect ending to her 2023.
