You Won't Be Bad Even Without Jiang Haochen

Li Weiran first learned about Chi Yuan's situation before starting to talk to Chi Yuan about what would happen next.

Li Weiran: "The production team bears responsibility for your accident, so you don't need to worry about the rest of the filming. You can resume filming whenever you're fully recovered. You also don't need to worry about trending topics. Just show your face on a live stream later, and your fans will see that you're not disfigured."

Chi Yuan nodded quietly, appearing to be completely at Li Weiran's beck and call.

Chi Yuan has always been very obedient. Originally, she thought that Chi Yuan would be a troublesome artist since she got involved with Jiang Haochen, but she didn't expect him to be an exceptionally worry-free person.

She never picks and chooses the resources she gives him, and she prepares diligently for the roles he asks her to fight for. Most importantly, she never asks Jiang Haochen for any excessive resources.

This kind of thing is actually quite common. A mistress wants to get a role in a famous director's movie, but she doesn't have the qualifications or acting skills. She wants to use connections, but she's afraid of upsetting the sugar daddy, so she sends her agent to be the scapegoat. If it works out, everyone's happy; if it doesn't, she turns around and accuses the agent of being greedy.

This kind of thing is the most disgusting thing for Li Weiran.

The longer they spent together, the more she liked Chi Yuan, and she was willing to offer more advice: "Don't you think the fans are cold-hearted? You're already injured, and they only care about your face."

Chi Yuan shook his head: "Aren't trending topics all about grabbing attention? And what about my fans... do I even have fans?"

For fans, Chi Yuan doesn't really feel very real.

Fox Ancestor's sudden rise to fame, coupled with her constant filming, led to a significant increase in her Weibo followers, though these were primarily managed by Li Weiran and Xiao Zhao. The lack of real-life interaction made it feel very unreal.

Li Weiran smiled and said, "Of course you have fans. I heard you were injured, and some fans even said they wanted to organize a group to come and see you."

Chi Yuan was so startled that he sat up abruptly.

Li Weiran laughed and said, "How about it? Want to meet your fans?"

Chi Yuan immediately felt embarrassed: "No...no need, I'm like this now."

Li Weiran didn't really intend to let the fans come: "Your current condition is indeed not suitable for meeting fans. Once you're better, we'll arrange for them to pick you up from the hospital."

Chi Yuan was somewhat flattered: "No... there's no need for that."

Li Weiran: "Chi Yuan, you have fans now, you need to change your mindset. Letting your fans pick you up from the hospital isn't a burden on them, it's something they enjoy."

Chi Yuan put himself in Jiang Haochen's shoes and realized that he would have been very happy if he had been able to pick Jiang Haochen up from the hospital.

Chi Yuan hummed in agreement, then asked nervously, "So what should I do, or what should I say, at that time?"

Chi Yuan still lacks confidence in being liked, fearing that his fans will be disappointed when they meet him.

Li Weiran: "You don't need to think about so much right now. Just get some rest. When you see them, don't say anything, and they'll be happy too."

Chi Yuan nodded obediently.

Li Weiran: "Never mind, these things aren't urgent. I'll tell you when you're feeling better. The main reason I came today is to talk to you about something else."

Seeing Li Weiran's serious expression, Chi Yuan also became nervous: "What is it?"

Li Weiran: "What are your thoughts on your contract with President Jiang?"

Chi Yuan froze instantly. Why was the contract suddenly brought up? Could it be that Mr. Jiang really...

Chi Yuan: "Does...do my opinion matter?"

Li Weiran: "Your thoughts are certainly important. Given your situation, even without President Jiang's resources, I am confident I can make you successful. Therefore, President Jiang's resources are not essential."

On the way here, she overheard Xiao Zhao saying that President Jiang didn't like the scars on Chi Yuan's body, and she was so angry that she almost called him to yell at him.

However, her last conversation with President Jiang about Chi Yuan didn't go very well, and only a few days had passed; she didn't want to risk it again. After much thought, she decided to give her artist a boost of confidence.

Li Weiran: "To put it bluntly, even if your contract with President Jiang ends early, your future won't be bad, it'll just be a bit slower."

Chi Yuan listened intently, and under Li Weiran's expectant gaze, he only replied with three words: "I understand."

Got it, so what?

Li Weiran couldn't hold back any longer: "Don't you have any ideas?"

Chi Yuan: "What are your thoughts?"

We need to terminate the contract with President Jiang ahead of schedule!

But she couldn't say that. Although she was the manager, she couldn't make decisions entirely for the artist. And as she had just said, Chi Yuan's future wouldn't be bad even without President Jiang, but it would definitely be better with him.

Since Chi Yuan chose to follow President Jiang from the beginning, he must have wanted to take an easier path.

Anyway, she's said what she needed to say, and now that Chi Yuan has confidence, he probably won't care about the scar anymore.

Just as she was thinking this, Chi Yuan asked, "Sister Ran, is there any way to remove the scars on my body?"

Li Weiran: "..."

The hospital could only have one person stay to take care of her, and Li Weiran, who had arrived late, left after a short time.

Xiao Zhao stayed behind to take care of Chi Yuan, but just after ten o'clock, she fell into a deep sleep. Chi Yuan had slept for several hours during the day, and with the pain from his wounds, he couldn't sleep at all.

At 11 o'clock, Chi Yuan's phone suddenly started vibrating frantically. Afraid of disturbing Xiao Zhao, Chi Yuan quickly answered the call.

"Huang Kai." It was Huang Kai who called.

"I've been working on a film set in the mountains these past few days, and my phone has no signal. That's when I saw the news that you had an accident. How are you? Are you disfigured?" As a makeup artist, Huang Kai instinctively cares about people's faces.

Chi Yuan glanced at Xiao Zhao, who was sleeping on the sofa, and lowered his voice: "He's not disfigured, but he might have scars on his body."

Huang Kai breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Your face can't be damaged. Your fans are all fans of your looks, so it won't do if you lose your face."

Chi Yuan was speechless: "Don't you care how badly I'm injured?"

Huang Kai: "If you can answer the phone yourself, then there's definitely nothing wrong with you."

Chi Yuan: "..." It makes a lot of sense, but it still makes my heart ache.

Huang Kai: "What exactly happened? I heard online that it was a filming accident?"

Chi Yuan nodded: "Yes, during filming, a prop box tipped over, the horse got spooked, and I was dragged for a distance. But I was wearing armor at the time, and Mr. Jiang cut the rope with his sword in time to save me, so I was fine."

Huang Kai: "You were injured by being dragged by a horse?!"

Chi Yuan: "Huang Kai, Mr. Jiang saved me again."

The two men focused on different parts of the sentence: one on the first half, and the other on the second half.

Huang Kai: "..."

Completely oblivious to his friend's speechless reaction on the other end of the phone, Chi Yuan continued to quietly express his emotions: "In that situation, everyone was so scared that they ran away. Only Mr. Jiang came to my rescue with his sword. He came running towards the horse, and I was afraid he would be kicked by it, but thankfully he was alright."

You were the one who had problems back then, right? How could you still have the mind to care about others?

Huang Kai didn't dislike Jiang Haochen, but ever since Chi Yuan and Jiang Haochen got together, he inexplicably started to dislike Jiang Haochen.

Huang Kai really wanted to tell Chi Yuan that Jiang Haochen saved people because he was a good person, not because he liked her.

But he had promised Chi Yuan last time that he wouldn't discourage him, so he held back.

Finally, Huang Kai only asked one question: "Yuanzi, are you happy now?"

Chi Yuan paused for a moment, then gave a heavy "hmm".

Happy.
