A very reasonable answer.
Pei Yan thought so.
He considered Su Zhiyi's family background, guessing that the 'Su' in Su Zhiyi was one of the 'Su' families among the major aristocratic clans in the capital. There were several Su families in the capital, and he didn't pay attention to the capital's aristocratic clans, so he couldn't tell which Su family's young lady Su Zhiyi was.
Qianyue Entertainment treated its artists poorly, never training them in their craft, only focusing on making money. Su Zhiyi would only waste her time in such a lousy company.
Since Su Zhiyi was a young lady from some aristocratic clan in the capital, she should be able to terminate her contract with Qianyue Entertainment easily.
"Uh..." Su Zhiyi's smile froze on her face after hearing Pei Yan's answer.
She barely managed to twitch the corners of her mouth, then politely thanked Pei Yan.
"Thank you."
She sheepishly withdrew her half-extended head and lowered her head to continue reading the script.
"You're welcome."
Pei Yan glanced at Su Zhiyi a few more times.
She had excellent physical appearance, no wonder she was the only female star Gu Yumo liked; his friend's sister was an ultimate lookist.
By the way, his friend...
After nearly half a minute of silence, Su Zhiyi almost thought their topic was over.
Pei Yan, who had been silent all along, opened a new topic.
"You have excellent conditions. If you want to change companies, I can give you an internal referral to my friend's company." His tone was as calm as if discussing a script. "Starlight Entertainment, you should have heard of it."
He opened his phone, pulled up his WeChat QR code, and showed it to Su Zhiyi, the meaning very clear.
"Let's add each other. My role isn't big; I'm just making a cameo at a friend's invitation. I'll be done after filming."
"If you're interested, you can contact me."
Su Zhiyi hadn't even processed what was happening. Staring at Pei Yan's face, she subconsciously took out her phone, scanned the QR code on his phone, and sent him a friend request.
"Thank you, but I don't plan to change jobs for now."
She did want to switch to a company that would pay her and not exploit her.
Unfortunately, the blackmail material about her fake persona was firmly held by the unscrupulous company boss and her former agent, who was now in prison.
If she tried to switch, this damn company might do anything to ruin her reputation.
Bound by various constraints, she was completely controlled by this unscrupulous company, tied to it for life in this world.
"If I ever consider changing jobs, I'll contact you."
After adding Pei Yan as a friend, Su Zhiyi didn't completely refuse him; she politely said something courteous.
"Mm." Pei Yan didn't ask any more.
Shortly after they finished talking, two knocks sounded at the door of the makeup room.
Then, accompanied by the familiar middle-aged man's voice, the door was gently pushed open.
"Sorry to keep you waiting. The makeup artist was just touching up Yumo and the others," the assistant director's familiar figure appeared at the door. He beckoned to the makeup artist standing beside him. "Come, Xiao Yu, do Pei Yan's makeup."
"Okay."
After the assistant director called the makeup artist, he waved to Su Zhiyi. "Zhiyi, your scene is coming up soon. You can head to the set and wait."
"Mm, I'll go right away."
Su Zhiyi put away her phone, stood up immediately, and straightened her heavy ancient costume with Xiao He, then left the makeup room for the set.

The script Su Zhiyi had taken this time was a historical idol drama, with the male and female leads being popular online influencers.
Fortunately, although the leads were influencers inserted by the investors, their acting wasn't particularly bad, and they were good-looking.
A historical idol drama should be a historical idol drama. Most of the old historical dramas had heavy political intrigue with just a little romance.
The historical idol drama Su Zhiyi had taken this time had heavy romance with a little political intrigue that could be guessed without using the brain, mainly focusing on the leads' romantic relationship, dispensing sweetness.
Su Zhiyi's character was the Eldest Princess of the Jiang Kingdom, the current emperor's only full-blooded younger sister—Jiang Ruyue.
The previous emperor had passed away eighteen years ago. Su Zhiyi was born a month before his death.
The previous empress, overwhelmed by grief, suddenly passed away from illness after the previous emperor's death. Senior official Cheng Feng, entrusted with a critical mission, assisted the ten-year-old crown prince in ascending the throne.
Jiang Ruyue's character storyline was also simple.
As the current emperor's only full-blooded younger sister, raised by the former emperor's most trusted sworn brother, senior official and now Prince Regent Cheng Feng, she was a spoiled little princess.
In terms of temperament, she had a willful and precious princess personality.
In terms of plot, Jiang Ruyue served to advance the relationship between the male and female leads.
Jiang Ruyue was the female lead's best friend, often comforting the female lead when misunderstandings led to arguments, and also persuading the male lead, thus reconciling the couple.
In simple terms, she was a beautiful tool.
When Su Zhiyi arrived on set, the male and female leads had just finished a scene. The staff were setting up the set, and the leads were off to the side rehearsing their lines with scripts.
