Stop Representing — A Billion-Dollar Bet

The endorsement got blocked. A VIP client complained about you. The brand had to replace you. I'm sorry.

How is that your fault? If only I'd held on that day. They were clearly targeting you. They'd have humiliated you anyway.

You did nothing wrong. It's just a dumb endorsement. So what if it's gone? They'll beg us later.

Enough. Leave this to me. I'll handle the smear campaign. Those scripts I gave you last time— Did you read them?

Yes, I did. I want to take this one. The historical drama, "Strategist." Isn't that too big a leap?

You just blew up in teen films. People online even call you the quintessential youth genre face. And that director's tough.

He won't even use stunt doubles. Dining is the easy part. Fine. I'll contact the production. Oh, did you find the place for me?

Can we sign the contract today? That urgent? Once filming picks up, this could get delayed forever.

I want no ties to Shen Shiyan. Got it. I'll handle the signing now. Shen Shiyan used to bring me gifts from trips. I always happily accepted them.

Including this house. Nuan Nuan, where should I put these? Just leave them. All from Shen Shiyan. But now I'm sick of all of it.

I won't be a replica anymore. A clown. The past is behind me. I deserve a fresh start.

Any news on Gu Ran? He's apparently booked a new drama. Starting filming soon. Bai Yang's still promoting his.

No real news from him. They say he moved out of Nanchun Bay. What? Going to Nanchun Bay.

What drama is he in? Apparently called Mou Jiang. A big lead. Contact the producers.

Discuss investing. Heard you landed Li Dao's new drama. Nice.

Director Li's famously picky. Disdains us idol drama stars. Shoppers. Maybe luck.

Come on. Plenty of stars are bigger. It's not luck. It's your talent.

Thanks, Ms. Xia. Nuan Nuan has a dinner tonight. With Mou Jiang's backers. The director wants all leads there.

Okay. Why standing frozen? You're late. Made Mr. Shen wait.

Toast Mr. Shen first. Make amends. Mr. Shen is our biggest investor in Mou Jiang.

Thanks to Mr. Shen, we got S-tier funding. Mr. Shen, I toast you. Why me?

To apologize. Wrong. Got it. Forget it.

Don't drink if you can't. This gathering today is to thank Mr. Shen. He invested a hundred million.

Mr. Shen! He invested that much? You're too kind, Li Dao. Nuan Nuan, you're low-key.

If we knew you were his, why audition? Just come straight in. Mr. Shen spends big on you.

With the female lead? He could get you the male lead. Let's call it here. We're going again.

What do you mean? I should ask you that. I don't get it. You moved out of South Bay.

Is there a problem? We're over now. I didn't want to stay. Leave the house.

The jewelry, the gifts too. What? Give all that back to me, and we're even.

But girl, you still owe me. To truly settle up, two years ago, you couldn't have lived here.

I was a nobody then, not fit for such a place. Not worthy of a lead role. Now your wings are strong,

and you want to cut ties. Do you have enough strength to draw that line?
