When Yin Tianzhao brought up Mu Lanyi, Fan Sirui's firm belief started to waver. After he and Kong Tengyu were selected, Mu Lanyi sent congratulations.
Thanks to the well-established groundwork, Mu Lanyi was actually very grateful to the two sturdy men who took on the mission in a crisis. Especially Kong Tengyu, who was pressured into playing a woman - a truly challenging feat.
Feeling guilty, Fan Sirui spent more time talking with Mu Lanyi and learned about the dirty tricks of Zhongsida's core members.
Zhongsida was rife with corruption and rampant unspoken rules. Mu Lanyi's contract was due to expire at the end of the year, and sensing her intention to leave, her agent and the CEO forcefully demanded she take on two edgy theme films, using an exorbitant breach of contract fee to ensure her compliance.
Always protective of women, Fan Sirui listened with compassion and, feeling guilty towards Mu Lanyi, asked if she needed help and offered to lend her money.
