The system makes me so beautiful that I don't care about anyone else's life or death.
Chapter 191 Meeting An Xin
After resolving the issue with Little Butterfly, Su Ran received a call from An Yecheng.
"I said I'd take you to meet my mother last time, but various things happened and it got delayed. Are you free now? I'll come pick you up."
When she received the call, Su Ran was at the company confirming the performance contract with Zhong Jue.
When An Yecheng brought this up, she suddenly remembered that more than three months had passed since she last mentioned going to see An Xin.
A complex look flashed in Su Ran's eyes.
"What's wrong? Did your family call?" Zhong Jue asked with concern.
"It's okay, continue." He put down his phone, picked up a pen, and signed his name on the contract.
"This is a charity performance for people with disabilities. The venue is Jiangcheng, a place you should be familiar with. It's the city where you first participated in the auditions and debuted."
"I see."
"Are you a little tired? I'll have Li Yu make you a cup of tea." He asked carefully, "I have rose tea, jasmine tea, and others. Which one would you like?"
Su Ran chuckled and said, "Why would a grown man like you prepare so much flower tea?"
However, Zhong Jue answered seriously, "It was prepared for you."
Su Ran's smile froze.
Zhong Jue changed the subject, "When I signed you, you said that one day you would let me see your true face. I've wanted to ask you for a long time, when will I be able to see your true face?"
I used to wear a mask to hide it from my grandmother.
Grandma's attitude was ambiguous. She seemed to know, but never brought it up. Su Ran was very conflicted about whether or not she should show her true self.
"Brother Zhong, I've signed a new artist. I'm bringing her over to meet you."
As someone approached, Su Ran looked up and saw a face that looked exactly like hers, leaving her speechless.
Zhong Jue said with little interest, "Why are you trying to copy others and create the 'Su Ran effect'?"
The man said embarrassedly, "Recently, not many of my new recruits have made it big, so I have no choice but to take a gamble like others."
Zhong Jue: "This kind of effect can only last for a short time, not forever."
The man said, "If I could become famous, I would thank God, Brother Zhong. What I lack is fame."
Zhong Jue: "I can't really comment. Good luck."
"Thank you, Brother Zhong." He then pulled the newcomer behind him over to introduce them. "This is Brother Zhong, our company's top agent, a senior I admire. And this is someone you probably know, Guiyin, who was trained by Brother Zhong."
The newcomer was obedient, bowing politely and saying, "Hello, Brother Zhong, hello, Teacher Guiyin."
Su Ran nodded to hide her embarrassment.
The "Su Ran effect" is a newly emerging trending search term in the industry.
This is all because a college student named Su Ran from Qingcheng Conservatory of Music has become an internet sensation due to her outstanding looks and exceptional talent. She is also a promising student chosen by the famous singer Qi Tianlei, and her previous performances in musicals have received high praise.
Unfortunately, she was unwilling to enter the entertainment industry, and countless well-known talent scouts were turned away.
The TV series in which she made a cameo appearance recently premiered on a certain channel, and she amazed everyone as soon as she appeared. Photos of her wearing ancient costumes spread all over the world, captivating countless people.
Even recently, on the official Weibo account of the World's Most Beautiful Women Ranking, someone posted Su Ran's photo in the comments section, and it immediately received countless likes from netizens at home and abroad, making her number one!
Many entertainment companies have sensed the high returns that Su Ran's good looks can bring and have secretly arranged for their artists to undergo plastic surgery.
Unfortunately, Su Ran's face is too difficult to alter. Despite having the same features, the results of the surgery are completely different from the original.
After the two left, the room became quiet.
"Ahem." Su Ran coughed awkwardly and said to Zhong Jue, "Make me a cup of rose tea."
Zhong Jue immediately dialed the intercom, "Li Yu, send two cups of rose tea."
Thinking about all the trivial and messy things I've encountered recently.
She asked Zhong Jue curiously.
"Don't you want to sign Su Ran?"
Zhong Jue answered without hesitation, "No."
"why?"
"She's so beautiful."
"???"
Seeing Su Ran's confusion, Zhong Jue smiled and explained.
“There are plenty of beautiful people in our industry. If I were an agent who only cared about profits, I would certainly do the same thing as them and go to great lengths to sign Su Ran. But I am not.”
"I still don't quite understand what you mean." Su Ran pursed her lips, her gaze fixed on the coffee table.
Zhong Jue explained casually, "I've seen the drama that Su Ran acted in. She has acting skills, but she's too beautiful."
"Is being too beautiful a mistake?"
"Beauty is not a crime, but her beauty overshadowed her acting skills."
"How to say?"
"If she deviates from the character of the most beautiful woman in the play, I'm not sure if she can successfully play other roles. If everyone focuses on her face and not the story itself, then the film and television drama will lose its meaning."
"It's too simplistic to conclude that she's not good enough. What if she is?"
"If that doesn't work, then she can only play beautiful women for the rest of her life."
Su Ran was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time someone had analyzed the drawbacks of her appearance.
Zhong Jue moved closer to Su Ran, "The first time I saw you, I was drawn to the character you portrayed. From that moment on, I knew you had a talent that even you yourself were unaware of."
He looked at her and said, "Ghost Voice, I signed you not just to be a singer. I signed you because I hope that you can become an actress who is even better than I was in the past, under my guidance."
Actress?
She herself never thought she would take this path.
Although he didn't know that the face under the ghost mask was Su Ran, his words were already denying her existence.
"I didn't expect you to be like Director Yu, also encouraging me to act." She thought for a moment, "What if I'm so ugly that, like you said, I can only play ugly roles?"
The moment the words left his mouth, a message popped up on his phone screen.
Yu Fanrenjing: [Masked, cold-blooded agent, take the job or not! Take the job or not! Take the job!]
Su Ran casually replied: 【If you bother me again, I'll block you.】
She heard Zhong Jue's voice while replying to Director Yu.
"Then you'll have more room for advancement than a beauty, isn't that more interesting?"
The answer was ambiguous, which wasn't the answer she wanted, because she knew that Zhong Jue didn't believe she had ever been an ugly woman.
She put down her half-finished tea and ended her conversation with Zhong Jue. By then, the sun was already setting outside the window.
Before she even got home, she saw a low-key black Porsche parked downstairs. When it saw her, the car horn honked a few times.
At this moment, Su Ran had taken off her mask, dressed in ordinary casual clothes, exuding a student vibe.
She sat in the passenger seat, and An Yecheng reached out to help her fasten her seatbelt.
"No, I'll do it myself."
With a click, the seatbelt lock completed the procedure first.
An Yecheng chuckled silently.
"They really don't give me a chance."
Su Ran took the gift box out of her bag without thinking; she had just bought it at the mall after leaving the company.
"A gift for Aunt An."
"Have a heart."
As they drove away, and night was about to fall, Su Ran saw a luxurious villa estate.
The car was parked in front of the main building. As if hearing the news of the owner's return, a man who looked like a butler ran over to park the car.
"Ye Cheng is back." The woman's voice sounded gentle and soft.
A wealthy woman wearing a snow-white fur coat and a beige long dress walked up in front of us.
Upon seeing Su Ran, a kind smile appeared on her face. She took Su Ran's hand and admired her closely.
"This must be Ranran. I never expected Qinya to give birth to such a beautiful daughter. If she were still alive, she would be very gratified."
Su Ran smiled sadly, "Yes, I wish she were still alive."
Then she took out the gift she had specially bought, "Aunt An, this is for you."
"Your kindness is enough, Auntie will accept it. Are you hungry? I just had the dishes set out."
Su Ran took An Xin's hand and said with a smile, "Auntie, won't you open it and take a look?"
"Auntie will look at it later."
"Auntie, I hope you can read it now."
