Su Zhiyi was quite satisfied with the resource Pei Yan had offered. After a few perfunctory refusals, she accepted it.
Pei Yan didn't stay long in the room. He received a phone call, said a few words to Su Zhiyi, and left the room again to take the call.
System 030 had already drawn up the mission for the next world, but seeing the dramatic reversal before it, the whole system was dumbfounded.
It silently threw the freshly drawn mission into the recycle bin and destroyed it, then gave a thumbs-up to its capable host with admiration: "Host, you're amazing!"
"All basic operations." Su Zhiyi said smugly to the system.
Then she watched Pei Yan's figure disappear out the door and let out a long sigh of relief.
"Now I can completely relax."
She had made it clear that she didn't want to get married for the time being, and Pei Yan probably wouldn't dig too deep into her background for a while, so her identity was temporarily safe.
Moreover, Pei Yan's resources in the entertainment industry were far more than that entire corrupt company.
Previously, some anti-fans had been harshly cursing her, questioning whether all the dramas she acted in were terrible, and whether her family had gone bankrupt and she had no money to enter a production crew.
She could find an opportunity later to ask Pei Yan for a few more resources.
With good resources, the rumors online questioning her persona as a wealthy heiress would also decrease, greatly reducing the risk of her identity being exposed.
After all, how could a花瓶 actor with no background or experience, who had never even played a lead role, get to act in a film directed by the renowned Director Lu?

Su Zhiyi still had a few night scenes to shoot that evening, so she didn't stay long at the hotel. When the hotel was less crowded in the early evening, she put on a mask and hat, wrapped herself up tightly, and rushed to the set.
She arrived quite early. After finishing her makeup, the lead actors were still filming, and her scenes wouldn't start for another two hours.
It was a bit boring.
Su Zhiyi didn't want to stand outside watching them act for two hours, nor did she want to sit idly in the makeup room, so she simply sat down and scrolled through her phone, checking today's entertainment news.
Wait... wait a minute?
Why was Pei Yan on the trending list?
Her half-closed eyes immediately widened. She sat up straight and looked seriously at her phone.

These three hashtags dominated the top three spots on the trending list, their popularity undiminished.
"Pei Yan... love life exposed?"
Su Zhiyi had a vague guess in her heart. Her heartbeat quickened. Her thumb trembled slightly as she clicked on the trending topic, needing several attempts to successfully enter.
[Gossip Brother GOU V: #Pei Yan Love Life Exposed#
The actor Pei, who has never had any love scandals since entering the industry, was actually seen holding a woman in his arms and entering a hotel late at night... Could he be in a relationship? I wonder if the actress's girlfriend is an insider or an outsider [Pondering]

Su Zhiyi clicked on the photos attached to this post.
In the photos, Pei Yan was wearing a mask and hat, holding a girl in his arms.
Most of Pei Yan's face was covered, with only his handsome brows faintly visible. Plus, it was nighttime and the lighting was very dim, making it hard for her to even tell if it was Pei Yan.
The girl in Pei Yan's arms had her face and upper body covered by a coat, and since she was being carried, it was impossible to guess who she was based on her figure.
The photo quality was very blurry, clearly taken from a long distance, obviously a paparazzi's candid shot.
"..."
Su Zhiyi looked at these photos of Pei Yan holding her, and her heart skipped a beat for a moment.
She zoomed in and out on the photos, the entire screen filled with Pei Yan's face, which was more blurry than her own career.
She couldn't help but complain to System 030: "How on earth did they figure out this is Pei Yan from such an impossibly blurry photo?"
System 030 said, "This paparazzo probably has been following Pei Yan, trying to dig up dirt on him, and happened to catch this last night."
"As for how these netizens guessed that this blurry figure in the photo is Pei Yan... Host, you also know that people in the entertainment industry have an eye for detail. They can identify a celebrity just from the back of their figure or the brand of clothes they're wearing in a photo."
Su Zhiyi murmured, "These people are amazing. I couldn't even recognize that it's Pei Yan."
Wait... these people in the entertainment industry can also identify people by their body shape.
"Hold on...!" She was startled and quickly scrolled down to check the comments. "They haven't outed me too, have they?!"
It's fine if they identify Pei Yan, but they absolutely must not identify her!
She wanted to lie low for a year and get her bonus!
The comment section surprised her.
The top comments were all from Pei Yan's big fans doing damage control, with a few scattered comments guessing who the girl in Pei Yan's arms was.
She scrolled through dozens of comments and didn't find a single negative comment about her and Pei Yan.
[Yan Xinxin: My brother isn't an idol. Even if his love life is exposed, or even if he gets married, I will wish Brother and Sister-in-law well. Paparazzi, stay away from my brother's private life. Studio, it's time to work @Pei Yan Studio]
