Chapter 5

Jiang Haochen is so good

Being disliked by Jiang Haochen made Chi Yuan depressed for several days, but he quickly came to his senses. So what if he's disliked? At least he remembers his name.

Moreover, he had, in a way,... obtained Jiang Haochen. (Happy.)

Chi Won was harassed on set for a week. Even though he had no more scenes to film, he was constantly made to do dangerous jobs. Later, he was even made to be a stunt double for other actors, who were told it was his scene.

With the contract in place, Chi Yuan had no choice but to endure a week of injuries all over his body.

A clothing assistant who had a fairly good relationship with Chi Yuan couldn't help but offer advice when she saw that Chi Yuan's body was covered in wounds while he was changing clothes.

"Why don't you just give in? You can't keep going like this."

Chi Yuan: "I can't accept this soft approach."

"With such a stubborn personality, how will you survive in this industry?"

Chi Yuan didn't speak. His initial purpose in entering this circle was to get close to Jiang Haochen, and now he had already done so.

At worst, I can just find another job.

"You're a good catch, hardworking, and a good actor, so why don't you..."

Chi Yuan: "It's okay, I can handle it."

Chi Yuan didn't want to continue the topic, so he casually put on a T-shirt and walked out. He borrowed a first-aid kit from the medical team and found a secluded spot to treat his wound.

"Ding-dong."

A friend request notification appeared in WeChat, with only one note: I am Cui Dong.

Cui Dong?

Chi Yuan naturally recognized Cui Dong, who was Jiang Haochen's partner and the CEO of Tianyu Entertainment.

Why would someone of such a high status seek him out?

Was it because of Jiang Haochen? Was Cui Dong warning him because of Jiang Haochen?

Chi Yuan thought about many things in an instant, feeling uneasy and anxious, but still accepted the friend request.

Cui Dong: {I am Cui Dong.}

Chi Yuan: {Hmm.}

Cui Dong: {Do you know who I am?}

Chi Yuan: {I know.}

Cui Dong chuckled and turned to look at the person sitting on the sofa: "This young actor is pretty arrogant."

Jiang Haochen glanced at him: "What did he say?"

Cui Dong: "He didn't say anything. I, a big CEO, took the initiative to add him as a friend, and he actually used interjections on me."

Jiang Haochen recalled how Chi Yuanshi was when he met him that day and said with a smile, "He wasn't arrogant, he was just shy."

Cui Dong: "When did you go blind? I've already climbed into your bed and you're still being shy."

That's true, but Jiang Haochen just felt that the kid was quite shy. If he really wanted to sleep with him, why didn't he take the opportunity to get closer to him? Why did he even take the initiative to admit it was his fault and not even ask for any benefits?

"Alright, send him the stuff."

Cui Dong: "I don't understand you either. Why would you help someone like that?"

Jiang Haochen: "Consider it payment for that night."

Cui Dong teased, "What, was that night so unforgettable for you?"

Jiang Haochen pondered for a moment: "It's really good."

These past few days at the bar, whenever he saw the models crowding around, all he could see were Chi Yuan's beautiful neck and collarbone.

Cui Dong: "If you like it, then just buy it."

Jiang Haochen: "No, it's fine once or twice, but I'll get tired of it after a while."

Cui Dong scoffed: "Who would have thought that someone as promiscuous as you was once deeply affectionate?"

Jiang Haochen sneered. Deep affection? Deep affection is only good for feeding dogs.

"Sent."

On the other end, Chi Yuan opened the short video sent by Cui Dong. It was the scene of him being helped into Wang Ming's room by his manager that night, and then escaping.

The video was very detailed, clearly showing the faces of the person in the video, their agent, and Wang Ming.

Such detailed information is not something ordinary people can obtain. What does Cui Dong want to do with this?

Chi Yuan: {Why did you send this to me?}

Cui Dong: {Someone asked me to give this to you.}

Cui Dong didn't say who it was, but Chi Yuan had already guessed it. Who else could it be but Jiang Haochen?

Did they know he was being targeted, so they sent him the surveillance footage so he could protect himself?

You clearly dislike him, so why are you still helping him? How can I stop liking you when you're like this?

Chi Yuan didn't cry when he jumped from the building, and he didn't cry when he was injured by the explosives. But just this one thought, the mere thought that Jiang Haochen had given it to him, made Chi Yuan's eyes redden.

Tears kept streaming down my face, I couldn't stop them.

"Are you alright?" A concerned voice came from above.

Chi Yuan turned around abruptly and saw a refined-looking young man standing not far away, looking at him with concern.

Chi Yuan put his shirt back on and wiped away his tears: "It's nothing, just some eye drops got in my eyes."

The young man smiled but didn't expose him. He knew that while the industry looked glamorous, the pressure was immense, and the hardships before achieving fame were unimaginable to many.

"You're injured, let me help you apply medicine," the young man offered his help.

"No need, it's already taken care of." Chi Yuan picked up the first-aid kit and left.

The young man watched Chi Yuan's departing figure, his gaze following him until he entered the film crew before turning away.

Chi Yuan returned the first-aid kit and then sent the surveillance video to his agent and Wang Ming.

He had filmed Wang Ming before, but the video was taken in a room, and their conversation didn't contain any crucial information. Plus, the industry is so chaotic; Wang Ming could simply insist it was consensual, making it difficult for the police to investigate. So Wang Ming acted with impunity, harassing him. But now, with this video, things are different.

If he goes all out and calls the police, both of them will end up in jail.

But he didn't want to call the police, because if he did, he wouldn't be able to stay in this industry.

Chi Yuan, who had just made up his mind to change jobs, was now reluctant to give it up. He couldn't bear to part with even the slightest hope.

Even if Jiang Haochen doesn't like me, as long as I'm in this industry, I can get closer to him. Maybe, just maybe, when I achieve some success in the future, I can go to Tianyu Entertainment.

Wang Ming replied: {What do you want?}

Chi Yuan: {Not a single minute of my scenes can be cut, and not a single penny of my pay can be reduced.}

Wang Ming: {Okay.}

Chi Yuan: {I still want to stay in this industry, so I won't call the police. But if you make it impossible for me to stay, I have nothing to lose and I'm not afraid of anyone. If things really escalate, your losses will definitely be greater than mine.}

Wang Ming compromised: {This matter ends here.}

Then, Chi Yuan tagged his agent Chang Lei: {Transfer my agency contract to Sister Hong.}

Chi Yuan wanted to terminate his contract if he could, but Chang Lei was just a junior agent, and even if he threatened him, he couldn't terminate it. So the best solution was to change agents. Sister Hong was the agent with the best reputation in the company; working with her might reduce some of the troubles.

Chang Lei naturally dared not refuse. He had other artists under his management, and these artists were all somewhat famous. If this video were to leak out and fans found out that he had made his artists sleep with him, not only would he be in trouble, but all his artists would be in trouble. At that time, neither the fans nor the company would forgive him.

Chang Lei: {Sister Hong is a senior colleague, and you're a newcomer; she might not be willing to mentor you.}

Chi Yuan: {That's your problem.}

After doing all this, Chi Yuan left the film crew and went straight back to his hotel.

This time, however, no one dared to stop him.
