Yun Nan paused before stating, “In ‘4:30 P.M.’, some people saw love, and some saw the social problem of human trafficking. Yes, these are things I want to convey, but actually, what I want most to impart is my parents’ principles: Nothing is more important than living life! The most important thing as a human being is to live life well. No matter what kind of situation you’re in, you have to do your best to live well!”

The audience was silent, and then they broke out into thunderous applause.

‘4:30 P.M.’ became a hit, and the movie’s box office sales soared. Yun Nan once again catapulted into fame. The rumors about ‘4:30 P.M.’ were dispelled, and no one remembered the movie’s previous lead actress, Gao Bei.

Shi Xiu’s acting skills were well-received inside and outside the entertainment industry, and she gained a massive fanbase. Fang Xi became Shi Xiu’s manager temporarily because she was worried about handing her over to someone else.

The rising star, Shi Xiu, wasn’t at all affected by her new fame and happily learned fashion from Miss An. She finally found the career path she liked; her major was still most fascinating to her. As for acting, it could be her second choice.

Fang Xi sighed at Yun Nan and lamented, “Ah, youth. It’s great to be young these days. You can have your cake and eat it too.”

Mika, who happened to be walking over, heard and said, “Do you want to act in a movie? I have a suitable role for you.”

Fang Xi glanced at him and asked, “What role is it?”

“A matchmaker, the kind with a mole right here!” Mika tapped at a spot beside his lips, and Fang Xi immediately chased him down. The studio was in chaos due to their horseplay, but there was laughter everywhere.

Yun Liu stared at the cinema’s schedule and hissed, “It’s an outrage! And she said she didn’t want to use Shi Nian’s name! Hah! The cinema clearly gave them so many screening slots because of Shi Nian! How shameless!” None of the managers dared to speak.

“Where’s our film? Why does it have so few screening slots? Several of these screenings are at midnight! How can they bully us like this? What is your marketing department doing? They’re on a roadshow going everywhere. Why haven’t we even arranged an interview?” Yun Liu continued to question, but no one answered—mainly because no one could answer these questions. Their new movie, ‘Cozy in Love,’ was an urban romance film. It had the cliché “domineering CEO falling in love with a commoner” plot. The lead actress was Yun Liu, and the male lead was their company’s young star, Zhao Peng. The supporting roles were all played by their company’s newly signed artistes. They aimed to create a low-budget but big production film. They hired a very high-level production team to produce the movie, and the final edited result was very satisfactory to the Yun siblings. The creative staff unanimously felt their movie could compete with the other movies released at the same time as theirs.

Of those movies, the one Yun Liu paid most attention to was Yun Nan’s movie, ‘4:30 P.M.’ Back then, she’d strongly advocated for ‘4:30 P.M.’ to be adapted into a romance film, but Yun Nan refused no matter what and used this as an opportunity to leave the Yun Corporation—which was exactly what Yun Liu wanted.

She’d read the draft script for ‘4:30 P.M.’ and felt the plot was too banal and bland and didn’t meet the market trend at all. However, the love story in the script was good, so she borrowed some of the scenes and put them into her movie ‘Cozy in Love. Even the director had praised the film’s romantic tale, so she was confident that ‘Cozy in Love’ would definitely beat ‘4:30 P.M.’ For this reason, they’d worked overtime and rushed their movie’s production just so they could make it in time to compete with ‘4:30 P.M.’

Yun Liu didn’t expect Shi Nian to support and back Yun Nan up at the movie premiere, causing ‘Cozy in Love’ to fail catastrophically and its box office dismal. Yun Liu gritted her teeth in hatred. She just couldn’t understand why she was always half a step behind Yun Nan. Why was she so unlucky all the time when Yun Nan always had the help of a benefactor? When it comes down to it, Yun Nan is her curse! That woman should’ve died outside just like her adoptive parents!

When Yun Liu thought about how Shi Nian had publicly admitted his relationship with Yun Nan, making all her earlier preparations come to naught, and even the ring she’d spent a fortune on was now useless, she couldn’t help but tremble with anger.

“I don’t care what method you guys use, but I demand you push up the box office of ‘Cozyin Love. From now on, everyone in the marketing department has to communicate with the cinemas and get them to increase our scheduled screenings. We must have more screenings than the others, especially ‘4:30 P.M.’! The finance department will fully support the expenses; I’ll sign the approval forms!”

Seeing that Yun Nan was in a furious mood, everyone quickly agreed and expressed their determination to succeed. They immediately got to work after the meeting.

“Where’s Miss Ding? She didn’t ask for leave, so why isn’t she here today?” Yun Liu coldly questioned the assistant beside her..
