He's very cunning

The next day, Chi Yuan went to the company to attend classes as usual.

In the morning there is acting class, and in the afternoon there is dance class. Chi Yuan currently has no engagements, so he will attend any class he can.

When Jiang Haochen arrived at the company in the afternoon, he strolled into the rehearsal room and saw Chi Yuan dancing inside. He unconsciously raised his eyebrows.

Looks like I didn't push myself too hard yesterday; I still have the energy to dance.

"President Jiang, what brings you here to watch the actors' class today? Would you like to come in and offer some guidance?" The dance director happened to be passing by and, seeing Jiang Haochen standing at the door, took the initiative to come over and greet him.

Although Jiang Haochen no longer acts, he is an absolute Grand Slam Best Actor, and he has only been retired for two years. Many artists in his company are his fans.

Although Jiang Haochen was keeping Chi Yuan as his mistress, he was not someone who couldn't separate public and private matters. Apart from the conditions agreed upon in the mistress-keeping contract, he had no intention of giving Chi Yuan any special treatment in other ways.

"I'm just passing by and won't go in," Jiang Haochen casually asked. "Any promising young talents lately?"

Dance Director: "We've recently had two promising talents. One of them is Chi Yuan, a new signing of the company. He's good-looking and has good physique, but unfortunately he's a bit old and stiff, lacking flexibility. If he were a few years younger, he could be a singing and dancing idol."

Jiang Haochen nodded: "The flexibility is indeed insufficient."

She cries out in pain every time I press her down too hard; she's so delicate.

Dance Director: "Fortunately, he is an actor, so the requirements for flexibility are not high."

Jiang Haochen: "Practicing is definitely beneficial. Actors encounter all sorts of roles, and you never know when it might come in handy."

Then we can practice specifically for that later.

The dance director inwardly scoffed, but outwardly echoed Jiang Haochen: "You're right, then I'll raise the flexibility requirements for the dancers by a notch."

Jiang Haochen left satisfied with his goal, but the other actors and artists in the company had to take on an extra task because of their boss's selfishness.

Chi Yuan was completely unaware of the conversation outside the door. He continued to study diligently until the course ended. During the break, he saw Li Weiran's WeChat message, wiped his sweat, and ran downstairs.

Li Weiran is an agent who has managed top-tier artists and has her own office.

"Knock knock".

"Come in."

Pushing open the door, Chi Yuan saw Li Weiran sitting behind her desk, busily engaged in her work. Seeing her busy, Chi Yuan didn't rush to disturb her, but quietly waited by her side until Li Weiran finished what she was doing.

"Sorry, have you been waiting long?" For now, Li Weiran likes Chi Yuan's obedient manner. He doesn't act arrogant just because she is Jiang Haochen's lover. She just doesn't know how long this obedience will last.

However, Li Weiran didn't care. In this industry, people are humble when they're not famous, but they become arrogant when they are. She's seen it all before. As long as they cooperate with her when they're working under her, that's enough.

"no."

"Take a look at this." Li Weiran handed over a folder.

Chi Yuan took the script, opened it, and then his eyes widened in disbelief: "The script?"

Li Weiran's eyes showed satisfaction: "He's the third male lead in a campus idol drama. He doesn't have many scenes, but the character is good. Take a look, and if you're satisfied, he'll join the crew the day after tomorrow."

Chi Yuan was taken aback: "You're joining the crew the day after tomorrow?"

He didn't have time to familiarize himself with the script in two days.

Li Weiran: "The third male lead in this drama couldn't film because of an injury, so the role was filled at the last minute. You were filling in, so the time was quite tight. But this is an idol drama, so you don't need too much acting skill; you just need to stay in character. The director also knows your situation; he wants your face and your fighting skills."

skill?

Chi Won: "Are there action scenes?"

Li Weiran: "This third male lead dropped out of high school and became a 'yellow-haired' guy. He died saving the female lead, so there are a few important fight scenes in the show. By the way, the female lead is Tian Tian, ​​who participated in the escape room live stream with you the other day. She recommended this role, so remember to bring a gift to thank her."

Chi Yuan looked completely bewildered: "Sweetie?"

He hadn't had much contact with Tian Tian. Although they had added each other on WeChat, they hadn't kept in touch since he came back. He never expected that she would recommend a role to him.

Li Weiran, fearing he might become arrogant, said, "Don't get too cocky. While there are reasons related to your own actions, her willingness to recommend you is largely due to the company behind you. This industry is full of newcomers who become famous overnight, and many actors who suddenly find themselves without work. Her confidence in you is also a way to secure her future. Don't take this too seriously. Once you're famous, you can try to get her a few roles in return."

Even though he had seen the shrewdness of this circle, Chi Yuan still didn't want to imagine the person who helped him as such. At least before the other person did this, he was willing to believe that the other person genuinely wanted to help him.

But Chi Yuan did not refute Li Weiran: "I understand."

Li Weiran nodded and said, "Go back and read the script."

Chi Yuan: "Thank you, Sister Wei Ran. I will read the script carefully and act well."

As soon as he left the office, Chi Yuan could no longer contain his joy.

He's going to act; I didn't expect to get a role so soon.

Chi Yuan excitedly took out his phone, wanting to share the good news with Jiang Haochen, but overheard two celebrities talking about it.

"I heard that General Manager Jiang went to the rehearsal hall this afternoon."

"Are you going to class? I wish I had gone to class today."

"Who says it isn't?"

Jiang Haochen sometimes gives lessons to the artists in the company when he's in a good mood.

In the afternoon, in the rehearsal hall, I was there at the time.

Chi Yuan's heart began to pound, and he narcissistically thought that perhaps Mr. Jiang was there to see him.

Mr. Jiang's office is on the 33rd floor. Shall we go and tell him the good news?

Furthermore, I need to inform Mr. Jiang that I will be joining a film crew and will not be available at any time afterward, which is also written in the contract.

Having found a reason, Chi Yuan decided to go to the thirty-third floor.

The elevator opened on the 33rd floor. It was Chi Yuan's first time here, and he was extremely nervous.

Looking at the serious work atmosphere on the 33rd floor, Chi Yuan suddenly had second thoughts.

Just as he was hesitating whether to leave, Assistant Chen suddenly came out and noticed Chi Yuan standing at the elevator entrance.

Assistant Chen adjusted his glasses and walked over, saying, "Mr. Chi, are you here to see President Jiang?"

Chi Yuan nodded nervously: "I...can I go in?"

Since you're already here, why ask any more questions? It's obvious you just want to go in.

Assistant Chen originally intended to refuse, but considering that this person was President Jiang's first long-term mistress with whom he signed a contract, and was currently in favor, he couldn't afford to offend her too much.

Assistant Chen: "You can go in by yourself."

Chi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, thanked him, and followed Assistant Chen's directions inside.

Seeing Jiang Haochen's office in the distance, Chi Yuan took a deep breath, tidied his hair, and was about to knock on the door when he heard people inside talking about him.

Instinctively, Chi Yuan stopped what he was doing.

"It's obvious you're very happy with your new pet."

"He's very well-behaved and knows how to please me," Jiang Haochen said.

"How can I please them?"

"I told him I wanted to see him, and he took a red-eye flight back. He arrived at my door in the early hours of the morning, but he was too scared to knock and slept in the hallway. It broke my heart." Jiang Haochen.

"She's quite cunning."

It wasn't scheming.

Just as Chi Yuan was refuting this in his mind, he heard Jiang Haochen say, "He is quite cunning."

These words were like a slap in the face to Chi Yuan, instantly draining the color from his face.

He wanted to say that he wasn't, that he wasn't scheming, that he wasn't deliberately playing the victim, but...

In Mr. Jiang's and others' eyes, isn't he someone who sells his body for profit? It's normal for such a person to be scheming.

Chi Yuan, don't be sad. You have no right to be sad. Didn't you already think it through when you decided to sign the contract?

Even in this way, you want to be by his side.

Chi Yuan took a deep breath, suppressing the redness in his eyes, then revealed a big smile and calmly walked out.

Seeing that Chi Yuan came out so quickly, Assistant Chen asked in surprise, "Mr. Chi didn't go in?"

Chi Yuan smiled gently: "Mr. Jiang seems to have guests, and I didn't have anything to do, so I didn't go in. I just wanted to let you know that I have to go to the film set to shoot."

Assistant Chen said in a businesslike manner, "Mr. Chi has a film to shoot, congratulations. You can send me a copy of the schedule later, and I will make the arrangements. You can also contact me directly afterwards."

Chi Yuan: "Yes."

Yes, we should have contacted Assistant Chen. His coming here today was already overstepping his bounds.
