Chapter 183 Extra: Mr. Jiang Showing Off His Love
"Mr. Chi, this is the script for today's shoot. Please take a look." Director GG handed the script to Chi Yuan and said very politely, "If there are any changes needed, please let me know."
"Oh, okay." Chi Yuan smiled and took the script, only breathing a sigh of relief after the director left.
Having been back from abroad for some time now, Chi Yuan still can't get used to this excessive enthusiasm. Ran Jie told him that this is the treatment of a top star, but being a top star is exhausting.
Furthermore, what does it mean to tell the director about script problems anytime? He's an actor, not a screenwriter. His job is to perform his role well, so why is he changing the script?
He clearly didn't let Mr. Jiang come along today, so why is the director still acting like this?
"Brother Chi." Xiao Zhao brought in a makeup box, opened it, and placed it in front of Chi Yuan. "This is the makeup we're featuring for today's shoot. The director said we should familiarize ourselves with it first and see how to present it in the best way."
Today, Chi Yuan is shooting for a cosmetics brand under the Shen Group. Originally, this endorsement was obtained by President Cui through connections with the president of the Shen Group. However, given Chi Yuan's current commercial value, the fact that the Shen Group got him to endorse the brand at this price is actually a great deal for them.
Chi Yuan studied the makeup for a while, then suddenly felt a little hungry: "Xiao Zhao, could you go buy me something to eat?"
To make it to the filming schedule, he arrived at 5 a.m. to get his makeup done, without even having breakfast.
Xiao Zhao: "I'll urge them."
As he spoke, he picked up his phone to send a message to someone.
Chi Yuan asked in surprise, "You ordered takeout?"
While sending the message, Xiao Zhao replied, "No, it was President Jiang who said he arranged for someone to deliver breakfast."
Chi Yuan: "So what you meant by 'urging' earlier was...?"
Xiao Zhao: "Hurry up with President Jiang. He'll be here in five minutes."
As he spoke, Xiao Zhao showed the chat page to Chi Yuan, which clearly displayed Mr. Jiang's WeChat page, with the following conversation.
Six o'clock in the morning.
General Manager Jiang: {I'll have someone deliver Chi Yuan's breakfast.}
Xiao Zhao: {Okay.}
just.
Xiao Zhao: {President Jiang, Brother Chi said he's hungry. When will breakfast arrive?}
General Manager Jiang: {Let me ask you something.}
General Jiang: {I'll be there in five minutes.}
Chi Yuan: "…………"
Previously, when he was filming abroad, Mr. Jiang stayed with him the whole time. After filming wrapped up and he returned to China, Mr. Jiang was still very close to him. As long as he was there, Xiao Zhao was always busy. Later, one time, Assistant Chen couldn't find Mr. Jiang and had to call him. Only then did Chi Yuan realize that Mr. Jiang wasn't as carefree as he seemed.
After that, he stopped allowing Mr. Jiang to visit the set so frequently.
The makeup shoot was in City B. When he arrived in the morning, Mr. Jiang originally wanted to come along, but he couldn't bear to let Mr. Jiang get up early, and he was also afraid that if he came, the already enthusiastic staff would become even more enthusiastic, so he held him back tightly.
Surprisingly, he still bought breakfast for me.
Even though he didn't lack anything, and even though it was just takeout he ordered online, Chi Yuan couldn't help but be happy.
He was a little flustered at first, but every time he felt flustered, Mr. Jiang would say that only by doing this could he get a sense of security from him, and he gradually got used to it.
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the door of the dressing room.
"Breakfast should be here," Xiao Zhao said, running to open the door, then froze for a moment, "President Shen?"
The person standing outside the door wasn't a food delivery guy at all, but Shen Lian, the president of the Shen Group.
Chi Yuan also quickly stood up and greeted Shen Lian, "President Shen."
Shen Lian had a dark expression on his face, as if he was trying his best to endure something. Just as Chi Yuan was wondering if he had offended this big shot somewhere, he saw Shen Lian suddenly shove a black thermos into Xiao Zhao's hand.
Xiao Zhao was completely bewildered.
Shen Lian: "Breakfast!"
Chi Yuan: "!!!"
Mr. Jiang asked General Manager Shen to bring him breakfast?
Xiao Zhao: "!!!!"
Did President Jiang ask President Shen to deliver breakfast to Brother Chi?
Xiao Zhao didn't know what to say, and Chi Yuan didn't know what to say either, but they had to say something in this situation, right?
So, under President Shen's gaze, which seemed to regard him as a femme fatale, Chi Yuan awkwardly thanked him, "Thank you, President Shen. I'm sorry to have troubled you."
If he had known that this meal was delivered by President Shen, he would have preferred to go hungry.
Shen Lian's face darkened for a moment, but he knew that Chi Yuan wasn't the culprit, so he said coldly, "No need, I'll ask Jiang Haochen for the reward."
Chi Yuan knew that Shen Lian and Jiang Haochen were friends, but hearing them say that still made him a little worried.
Shen Lian was just a little annoyed by Jiang Haochen, but he wasn't really angry. Besides, the person in front of him was the spokesperson for Shen's Cosmetics, and his brand even benefited from this photoshoot.
Thinking this, Shen Lian's tone softened considerably, and he asked with concern, "Is there any problem with the filming? Do you need any help?"
Chi Yuan hurriedly shook his head: "No, everything is fine."
He paused for a moment, then added reassuringly, "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, I will definitely film this scene well."
Shen Lian nodded, noticing Chi Yuan's unease. He turned to leave, but then, remembering something, turned back and added, "This place only offers fifty servings of breakfast each morning. It tastes best when eaten half an hour after it's cooked. Jiang Haochen knows I like this breakfast, and he started calling me before six o'clock to urge me to go buy some."
Chi Yuan couldn't help but apologize: "I'm sorry. I'll talk to Mr. Jiang... Jiang Haochen right away and tell him I won't let him bother you again."
Jiang Haochen asked him to change how he addressed him, but Chi Yuan found that he still habitually called him Mr. Jiang.
Shen Lian paused for a moment, then said, "Shen's Group benefited from this endorsement deal. I will make it up to you when you get married."
Chi Yuan suddenly looked up, staring at Shen Lian in shock.
Shen Lian said somewhat awkwardly, "Jiang Haochen... likes you very much."
Chi Yuan's already wide eyes suddenly lit up at those words.
Shen Lian suddenly understood why Jiang Haochen had been acting strangely so early in the morning.
"Shen Lian, when you go to deliver breakfast, find an opportunity to confess my feelings for him and tell him that I really like him."
Waking up early and being forced to buy breakfast, Shen Lian snapped, "Are you out of your mind?! Did you lose your brain while dating?"
Is he part of their play? Has he been reading too many domineering CEO novels? Do they expect him to say, "I haven't seen my brother laugh like that in ages!"
Jiang Haochen: "I had no choice. My partner is insecure and always feels like I don't really like him. Consider it a favor I owe you, and I'll definitely repay you in the future."
Shen Lian never imagined that he, a powerful CEO, would one day become an actor.
After leaving the dressing room, he messaged Jiang Haochen: {I've finished reciting my lines, remember the favor.}
Jiang Haochen immediately replied: {Thank you so much, I'll treat you to lunch.}
=
At noon, the trio of domineering CEOs met for lunch at a private restaurant near the photography studio.
Jiang Haochen, who was the one treating, was the last to arrive.
However, he has indeed been very busy lately. The post-production of "Chang Sheng" requires him, the management of Tianyu's company requires him, he is preparing for his comeback, and he is also busy with his love life. He is as busy as a spinning top, but this guy looks incredibly healthy and has a rosy complexion every day.
"Did you even get a makeover?" Shen Lian looked Jiang Haochen up and down, who was dressed in an exquisite outfit.
Before Jiang Haochen could speak, Cui Dongxian burst out laughing.
Shen Lian raised an eyebrow: "There's a story behind it?"
Cui Dong: "After he and Ji Won went public, they were in the entertainment news every day. Ji Won looks young, right? He even played a high school student before, and some fans said that Lao Jiang (Jiang Yung-cheung) is too old for that, like an old cow eating young grass. From then on, whenever he went to see Ji Won, he had to dress up like this. Hahaha~~"
As Cui Dong spoke, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Shen Lian couldn't help but chuckle: "Age is something you can't change. Aren't you afraid that the harder you work, the more heartbreaking it will be?"
Jiang Haochen snorted: "What do single dogs know?"
The three ate and chatted for a while, when Cui Dong suddenly asked, "Are you really planning to marry Chi Yuan?"
Jiang Haochen hummed in agreement: "I'll go back to S country at the end of the year and register there."
Shen Lian: "What about the prenuptial agreement?"
Jiang Haochen glanced at him: "If I were to sign something like that, why would I even get married?"
Shen Lian nodded without saying anything more. He was just offering a reminder, and he would naturally respect Jiang Haochen's decision. At least from his observation that morning, Chi Yuan genuinely liked Jiang Haochen. It's just that people's hearts are fickle, and a businessman like him, whose mind is only focused on profit, always tends to overthink things.
Cui Dong then brought up something else: "Since Chi Yuan is going to marry you, shouldn't he stop opening his studio when his contract expires and continue staying at Tianyu?"
Jiang Haochen: "His work plans are up to him; you should interfere as little as possible."
Cui Dong clicked his tongue: "Isn't working at Tianyu also making money for you?"
Jiang Haochen: "Even if he's not with Tianyu, half of the money he earns still belongs to me."
Cui Dong wanted to say that Chi Yuan was working at Tianyu, and Cui Dong earned half of his money. But thinking that this love-struck guy would definitely argue with him, he didn't want to make a fool of himself. Instead, he called a waiter in and ordered the most expensive bottle of wine.
Jiang Haochen: "You're paying for this yourself."
Cui Dong: "...Jiang Haochen, is it really necessary? Even if marriage makes you stingy, you don't have to be this stingy. Besides, you're not even married yet, and Chi Yuan is already managing your money?"
Jiang Haochen seemed to have been waiting for him to say that, and very pretentiously and obviously pulled a bank card out of his pocket.
A very ordinary bank savings card.
Shen Lian and Cui Dong stared at the card, puzzled.
Jiang Haochen: "Chi Yuan's salary card."
Cui Dong: "So?"
Jiang Haochen: "Chi Yuan was afraid I wouldn't feel safe, so he handed over his salary card to me."
The two of them: "………………"
Jiang Haochen: "In other words, I'm currently being raised by Chi Yuan."
Cui Dong cursed, "Jiang Haochen, have you no shame?!"
