Lust Blinds Reason

The roadshow was at 3 p.m. on the second day. Chi Yuan went to the company early in the morning, attended two posture classes, and then went to the sixth floor to get his hair and makeup done before leaving in the company-provided van.

For this trip, the company even assigned him an assistant.

"Brother Chi, you look really handsome today." Xiao Zhao was the assistant the company assigned to him when he was on set. However, Xiao Zhao wasn't his personal assistant, so he didn't accompany him the whole time. He only accompanied Chi Yuan for the first week on set, and then returned to the company after Chi Yuan's filming went smoothly.

"Xiao Zhao, we meet again." Chi Yuan handed the coffee in his hand to Xiao Zhao. "Here you go."

Xiao Zhao was flattered: "Why, Brother Chi, are you buying me coffee? I should be the one buying it."

Chi Won: "I didn't get a chance to thank you properly for taking care of me on set before, and now I'm troubling you again."

Xiao Zhao: "It's no trouble at all. This is my job. As long as you approve of my work, that's all that matters."

Chi Yuan: "I agree, you did an excellent job."

Although he had never had an assistant before, he had seen other celebrities' assistants, and Xiao Zhao's work ability was in no way inferior to theirs. Xiao Zhao handled most of the communication with the production crew, and would also come to him when needed, showing great tact and discretion.

Xiao Zhao: "I'm happier than if I had received a bonus, now that you say so."

bonus?!

Chi Yuan paused for a moment before remembering that there was an unwritten rule in the industry that after a film was finished, the stars would give their assistants a bonus.

Chi Yuan belatedly said, "Um... about the bonus, I'll pay you after I get my salary. Right now..."

Before Chi Yuan could finish speaking, Xiao Zhao interrupted him.

Xiao Zhao was quite frightened: "Brother Chi, what are you saying? I'm not asking you for a bonus, you've misunderstood me. I'm a newcomer just like you. Compared to a few hundred or a few thousand in bonus, I'd rather people see my work ability right now. Just like you, Brother Chi, you'd rather people praise your acting skills than pay."

Chi Yuan hummed in agreement: "You're right."

Seeing that he didn't mention the bonus again, Xiao Zhao felt much relieved: "Brother, if you find me useful, you can consider me when you can have your own personal assistant in the future."

Chi Yuan didn't dislike Xiao Zhao and readily agreed: "Okay, I'll try my best to get you over here."

Xiao Zhao laughed and said, "Let's go, let's work hard together."

The two got into the car. Xiao Zhao drove, and Chi Yuan originally wanted to sit in the passenger seat, but considering her makeup and styling, she was afraid of wrinkling her clothes, so she chose the spacious back seat instead.

Throughout the journey, Chi Yuan kept reading the notes that Li Weiran had sent him, which contained some questions that the media might ask.

About an hour later, the car arrived at the shopping mall in the city center.

Chi Yuan got up to get out of the car, but Xiao Zhao stopped him: "Brother, it's still early, sit in the car for a while."

Chi Yuan asked, puzzled, "There should be a lounge upstairs, right?"

Xiao Zhao: "Sister Weiran instructed me that this time, you should show that the company values ​​you."

Chi Yuan: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Zhao whispered, "I asked around, brother, did you have any conflicts with the crew when you were filming this movie?"

Has word gotten out about his affair with Wang Ming?

Chi Yuan didn't say much, he just nodded.

Xiao Zhao: "That's it. This industry is full of snobs. Before, when you were in a small company with no connections, they bullied you. Now it's different. You're at Tianyu, and we need to let them know that you're a rising star that Tianyu is heavily promoting, and who knows, you might become more popular than them someday. Only then will they treat you politely."

Chi Yuan, who had never done anything like this before, was a little unaccustomed to it: "Does it really have to be this way?"

Xiao Zhao: "Absolutely. Otherwise, why would we send you a car, provide an assistant, and give you such an expensive makeover today?"

Chi Yuan glanced down at his clothes: "Expensive?"

The stylist brought the clothes directly from the company; he didn't know their value.

Xiao Zhao: "Of course it's expensive. Your outfit is custom-made by GH, it's worth at least this much, and most people can't even borrow it."

Xiao Zhao made an eight.

Chi Yuan exclaimed in surprise, "This outfit costs 80,000?"

Xiao Zhao was speechless: "Eight hundred thousand."

Chi Yuan couldn't sit still any longer; he felt his clothes were burning hot.

Before Xiao Zhao could finish speaking, he added, "That's nothing compared to what's most important. I heard that Linda did your styling."

Xiao Zhao was shocked by Chi Yuan's blank look: "You don't know who Linda is, do you?"

Chi Yuan genuinely didn't know; he had only been at Tianyu for a short time and didn't even recognize many people.

Xiao Zhao sighed, "Linda is He Yu's personal apprentice, and He Yu is President Jiang's personal stylist. He Yu's team only does makeup for the company's top stars. The fact that she personally styled you this time shows how much the company values ​​you."

Chi Yuan's mouth dropped open. Of course he knew He Yu. He was a die-hard fan of Jiang Haochen, and many of Jiang Haochen's iconic looks were created by He Yu.

When Linda styled her hair, was it Sister Weiran or Mr. Jiang who helped her?

Chi Yuan messaged Li Weiran: {Sister Weiran, did you authorize Linda to do my hair and makeup?}

Li Weiran: {I don't have that kind of face.}

It really is Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang has done so many things outside the contract, from warning Lin Yue and intimidating Wang Ming to now providing himself with a top-notch stylist.

Chi Yuan switched to Jiang Haochen's chat window and quickly typed: {You're so good to me, how can I ever repay you?}

He looked at the sentence over and over again, but finally deleted it.

Chi Yuan: {Mr. Jiang, I will try my best.}

The seemingly random sentence puzzled Jiang Haochen, who had just arrived at the company and was chatting with Cui Dong about work. But seeing how earnest the little kitten was, he wanted to encourage him: "Then we'll see how you perform."

Cui Dong: "Who were you chatting with? You were laughing so slyly."

Jiang Haochen: "You're the one who's slutty, your whole family is slutty."

Cui Dong laughed and cursed, "Get lost!"

Jiang Haochen put down his phone, took the project proposal that Assistant Chen had just brought over, and handed it to him: "Take a look."

Cui Dong glanced at it: "You're planning to choose 'Chang Sheng' as your producer?"

Jiang Haochen nodded: "The other two IPs are also good, but I'm more interested in this one."

Cui Dong: "You're switching careers to become a producer, not an actor, so the perspective is different. I've read this novel, and when we bought the rights, we were thinking of having you direct it."

Jiang Haochen: "I was suitable five years ago, but not now."

Cui Dong stared at him: "You are indeed getting old now."

Jiang Haochen laughed and scolded, "No matter how old I am, I'm still more handsome than you."

Cui Dong asked, "Have you found a suitable candidate for the lead role?"

Jiang Haochen stared at the words "immortality" on the script, and a person flashed through his mind: "What do you think of Chi Yuan?"

Cui Dong scoffed, "You're going to use an S+ rated drama to feed your little lover?! Jiang Haochen, are you blinded by lust?!"
