I just climbed into bed

When Chi Yuan returned home, Huang Kai was cooking instant noodles. Seeing Chi Yuan come back, he asked him if he wanted to eat together: "Have you eaten? I'll cook you a pack too."

Chi Yuan shook his head: "No need, I need to stay in shape as I'm about to start filming."

Huang Kai poked his head out of the kitchen and asked in surprise, "You're joining the crew?"

Chi Yuan's gloomy mood finally improved a bit, and he took out the script from his bag: "I just received the script today."

Huang Kai: "Great, you've got a role so soon. It was worth it for you to rush back overnight the day before yesterday."

No wonder people in this industry all want someone to support them; the resources are just too good.

Chi Yuan subconsciously corrected him: "I didn't come back for that."

Huang Kai then realized he had misspoke: "I know, what I meant was that you've been devoted to Mr. Jiang, and Mr. Jiang has reciprocated, which is a good thing. It's... a two-way street?"

Chi Yuan's eyes dimmed as he recalled the comment he overheard outside the office: "She's quite cunning."

Chi Yuan: "This role was recommended by Tian Tian."

Huang Kai: "Sweetie? You two seem to have met during the previous live stream, right? She's so attentive; could she know about your relationship with Mr. Jiang?"

Chi Yuan: "I haven't told anyone."

Huang Kai: "Just because you didn't say it doesn't mean others didn't say it. Mr. Jiang didn't give you resources for no reason. Anyone with a keen eye will find out soon enough. There are so many people at Tianyu Company, someone will always spread the word, especially since you signed a contract."

Chi Yuan fell silent.

Huang Kai sighed. Seeing Chi Yuan's state, he couldn't help but advise, "Yuanzi, I think you need to adjust your mindset. Your relationship with Jiang Haochen isn't romantic; it's purely a sugar daddy/sugar baby arrangement. If you can't figure this out, things will get messy later."

Chi Yuan gave a wry smile: "I know."

Huang Kai: "If I were you, I would treat all the resources the company gives you as Mr. Jiang's affection for you. The more resources you get, the more Mr. Jiang likes you. Make good use of these resources, act well, and make money. Don't let your love-struck mind cloud your judgment and say things like you don't need these things."

Chi Yuan laughed: "I know, I was prepared when I decided to sign the sugar daddy/sugar baby contract, but..."

Huang Kai: "Just what?"

Chi Yuan: "When I came back to him that night, he thought it was because I was scheming..."

Huang Kai knew what was bothering Chi Yuan, but still said, "So what if you're scheming? It means you're willing to please him. Believe me, as his sugar daddy, he prefers your scheming to someone who truly loves him."

Chi Yuan hesitated: "Really?"

Huang Kai: "Seriously, I've seen so many girls in the industry who were kept by sugar daddies and then suddenly fell in love with them, only for the sugar daddies to find it troublesome and dump them. For these people, it's just about spending money for fun. If you're willing to put in the effort to please them, they're willing to give you more resources. If you don't want anything from them anymore, it means you've become a burden. These kinds of people aren't afraid of spending money, they're afraid of trouble."

This was the first time Chi Yuan had heard such a statement, and he was immediately shocked: "So I should be cunning?"

Huang Kai: "That's right, keep it up."

Chi Yuan's mood suddenly improved again. So what if he's scheming? As long as he's happy and doesn't want to replace me, that's fine.

That evening, Jiang Haochen learned from his assistant that he was going to join the film crew and replied with a message: {Do your best on set.}

Chi Yuan: {I will try my best.}

After thinking about it, I realized I still needed to be a little cunning, so I added another sentence.

Chi Yuan: {This drama is being filmed in the city. You can contact me anytime if needed.}

Jiang Haochen stared at the message Chi Yuan had replied to, a smile flashing in his eyes. He deliberately teased him: "If the director doesn't release him, but I need you to come over, what will you choose?"

Chi Yuan: {I choose you.}

Jiang Haochen chuckled, put down his phone, and didn't reply.

He liked Chi Yuan's occasional subtle cunning, but sometimes he didn't like it, such as this kind of straightforward answer, which left him feeling bored.

My initial desire to bring the kitten over suddenly faded.

Seeing that Jiang Haochen suddenly seemed uninterested, Cui Dong asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Haochen perked up: "It's nothing, I just find it boring."

Cui Dong: "What do you mean, 'boring'?"

Jiang Haochen: "These days are so boring."

Two days later, Chi Yuan joined the crew.

Li Weiran personally brought Chi Yuan to the set. Chi Yuan was a newcomer, but Li Weiran was not. Li Weiran's personal involvement in bringing Chi Yuan here showed how much Tianyu valued Chi Yuan.

After Li Weiran greeted him, director Jiang Congfeng became much more enthusiastic towards Chi Yuan.

"Have you read the script? What do you think of it?"

Chi Won quickly said that he had studied the script carefully and would perform well.

Jiang Congfeng: "Come on, let me introduce the male and female leads to you."

He knew Chi Yuan, and as soon as he entered, Tian Tian took the initiative to greet him.

Jiang Congfeng smiled and said, "You know Tian Tian, ​​so I won't introduce her. This is the male lead, Lin Yue, who is also from Tianyu. You should know him too."

Chi Yuan genuinely didn't know about this, but he couldn't say it aloud, so he took the initiative to extend his hand and greet him: "Hello, Brother Yue, I'm Chi Yuan."

Lin Yue said lazily, "Don't call me brother, I'm a year younger than you."

Chi Yuan froze. In this circle, seniority matters, and Lin Yue was more senior than him, so he had to call him "brother." But age was also a taboo in this circle; nobody liked being called "brother" by someone older than themselves.

Lin Yue's words effectively put Chi Yuan in a difficult position.

Jiang Congfeng immediately sensed something was wrong and thought to himself, "This is bad. If I had known earlier that Chi Yuan and Lin Yue didn't get along, I wouldn't have wanted Chi Yuan."

Between the third male lead and the first male lead, he would naturally protect the first male lead.

Just then, Li Weiran walked over, glanced at Lin Yue, and said, "Lin Yue, long time no see."

Upon seeing Li Weiran, Lin Yue immediately stood up from his chair and became much more polite: "Sister Weiran, you've come too."

Li Weiran nodded: "Chi Yuan is my artist. Today is his first day on set. I'll have to ask you to take good care of him from now on."

Lin Yue's pupils contracted slightly, but his smile remained unchanged: "We're all from the same company, there's no need for any special consideration, we just help each other out."

He then took the initiative to shake hands with Chi Yuan, saying, "Welcome."

Chi Yuan shook hands stiffly with Lin Yue, then went to greet the other crew members. After doing all this, Li Weiran was about to leave.

Li Weiran: "I have other things to do and can't stay with you all the time. I'll arrange for an assistant to come over later. Just call me if you need anything."

Chi Yuan nodded obediently: "Okay."

Seeing his clueless expression, Li Weiran prompted, "Do you know why Lin Yue is rejecting you?"

Chi Yuan paused for a moment, then shook his head.

Li Weiran: "Didn't you and President Jiang do any research beforehand?"

Chi Yuan was even more puzzled: "Is he related to Mr. Jiang?"

Li Weiran: "The TV series that made Lin Yue famous last year was a resource provided by President Jiang, understand?"

So, Lin Yue was also Mr. Jiang's lover?

Chi Yuan suddenly felt a bitter taste in his mouth and nodded, "I understand, I'll stay away from him."

Li Weiran left feeling relieved.

Chi Yuan turned around and went back to the film crew. On the way, he met Lin Yue, who was on his way to film. Lin Yue, who was wearing a high school uniform, looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, but the words he said were so incongruous.

"I heard you climbed into bed with me on your own initiative."

Chi Yuan paused in his steps.

Lin Yue continued, "They're shameless."

Meeting Lin Yue's mocking gaze, Chi Yuan coldly asked, "Are you jealous?"

Lin Yue: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Chi Yuan: "I climbed it, and I succeeded! Aren't you angry? If you're so capable, you try climbing it yourself."

After saying that, Chi Yuan stopped wasting words with the other party, straightened his back, and left.

They're all lovers, so who's more noble than whom?

"You bitch!" Lin Yue cursed fiercely.

That evening, Jiang Haochen received a recording on his phone, in which Chi Yuan admitted to climbing into his bed.
