My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 180 Mr. Jiang's Inferiority Complex

The incident with the supertopic left Jiang Haochen feeling down for a day.

Chi Yuan never expected that the strong and powerful Mr. Jiang would care so much about online comments.

He was heartbroken and explained to Mr. Jiang again and again that he didn't mind Mr. Jiang's age or that Mr. Jiang treated him badly. In his heart, Mr. Jiang was the best person in the world to him.

But every time Jiang Haochen heard it, he would respond happily, then turn around and, in a corner where Chi Yuan "didn't notice," continue scrolling through the comments with a troubled expression.

Clearly, Mr. Jiang's feigned happiness was a facade.

He clearly cared a lot, but he didn't want to worry about it himself.

When Chi Yuan saw Mr. Jiang secretly leaving negative comments on the super topic for the sixth time, he couldn't hold back any longer. He took out his phone, entered the super topic, and applied to join.

He was using his main account, and the people in this super topic who were criticizing Mr. Jiang were all his fans. They would definitely approve his entry once they saw him come in.

Chi Yuan is waiting for the review to be approved, while the review process...

When Assistant Chen saw Chi Yuan's main account applying to join the super topic, his brain started working like crazy.

Should it be approved or rejected?

The boss's task for him was to create a super topic to unilaterally slander and insult the boss, focusing on highlighting that the boss himself was not worthy of Chi Yuan.

This was the most enjoyable task he had ever received since he started working, and he also contributed his small part to the 100,000 online trolls.

Ahem, I've gone off on a tangent.

At first, he didn't understand the meaning of what the boss was doing and just participated blindly. But when he saw Chi Yuan's main account apply to join the super topic, he suddenly understood.

This is the emotion between a young couple.

A large number of fans insulted the boss. In a desperate situation, the boss's lover suddenly appeared and rescued the hero from the midst of a massive army of 100,000.

That's so flashy!

To achieve the best results, Mr. Chi must not tell the boss about his application to join the super topic. The higher the boss's satisfaction, the higher his bonus will be at the end of the month.

High returns mean high risks; if you guess wrong, you might get scammed.

After careful consideration, Assistant Chen decided to play it safe. The bonus was good, but the workload was even heavier.

So Assistant Chen took a screenshot and sent the message about Chi Yuan's application to join the Super Topic to Jiang Haochen.

Jiang Haochen was acting worried in front of Chi Yuan when he suddenly saw the message from Assistant Chen and subconsciously turned around.

Chi Yuanzheng was frowning as he looked at his phone.

Jiang Haochen quickly replied to Assistant Chen, "Don't let him in."

This supertopic is full of paid trolls; no matter how harsh their insults, it won't trend on social media. But if you put Chi Yuan in, it'll trend in no time.

He knew the fighting power of his own fans. If a fight broke out, he and the "parents" he had met with Chi Yuancai would inevitably turn against each other. If it were later revealed that he had hired these online trolls himself, the scene would be too unimaginable to bear.

When Assistant Chen saw the reply, he broke out in a cold sweat, thankfully he had chosen to play it safe.

Indeed, a man still needs to be steady.

Just as he refused, Chi Yuan applied again with the following message: {I am Chi Yuan, please let me in.}

That's why they won't let you in, it's because it's you.

Assistant Chen refused again.

Undeterred, Chi Yuan continued his application: {If you're my fans, could you please refrain from criticizing Mr. Jiang? He's someone I like.}

Assistant Chen took a screenshot and sent it to his boss, who continued to refuse.

Chi Yuan could also see that the other party was determined not to let him in. Did they know that he would protect Mr. Jiang, so they deliberately prevented him from entering?

Chi Yuan knew that these fans genuinely liked him, but he didn't want them to belittle Mr. Jiang like that.

Chi Yuan continued her appeal: "I really, really like Mr. Jiang. I entered the entertainment industry because of him, just as you like me, I like him too. So please don't hurt him."

Assistant Chen was stunned for a moment when he saw the message, then took a full screenshot and sent it to his boss.

He finally understood his boss's intentions: this group was simply trying to gain attention by playing the victim.

Shameless!

In the hotel room, Jiang Haochen looked at the screenshots sent by Assistant Chen, one after another, and his eyes welled up with tears as he read Chi Yuan's earnest and sincere requests.

This was not the result he wanted. He did this not to make Chi Yuan feel sorry for or pity him, but to make Chi Yuan believe in him and to make Chi Yuan confident.

He had read every piece of information comparing Chi Yuan and Xie Lingzhou. He didn't deny that much of the information was true, but that didn't mean he didn't like Chi Yuan.

It's just because... the person he likes this time liked him first.

Xie Lingzhou also had feelings for him, otherwise he wouldn't have kept pursuing him. However, Xie Lingzhou had too many concerns at the time and was reluctant to agree. Even after agreeing, he was unwilling to make it public. Therefore, in the eyes of the fans, it was always Xie Lingzhou who was pursuing Xie Lingzhou.

But Chi Yuan was different; Chi Yuan couldn't bear to treat him like that.

Compared to what he gave Chi Yuan, Chi Yuan gave him much more. He came with heartfelt sincerity, but Chi Yuan had already given him the whole world.

He wanted to express himself, but couldn't find a single opportunity; it seemed that he could only show his love in that kind of thing.

But they did have that past, and perhaps in that matter, Chi Yuan would still feel that he only liked his body.

Thinking about the outrageous things he had said in the past, Jiang Haochen wished he could go back in time and slap himself. He never imagined that the stumbling block on his path to love would be himself.

He wanted to give Chi Yuan a sense of security. He originally thought that if he treated Chi Yuan well slowly, Chi Yuan would definitely feel it over time. But when he saw those comments, he couldn't help himself.

He couldn't stand that the person he loved was ashamed because of his past.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Haochen walked over as if by accident and saw Chi Yuan's application page.

Chi Yuan tried to hide it, but couldn't, so he simply said, "I want to talk to them and ask them to stop cursing you. They're my fans, they'll definitely understand."

Jiang Haochen's voice carried a hint of bitterness, and this time it wasn't feigned: "What I actually care about isn't the fans."

Chi Yuan looked up in surprise, his face saying, "If you don't care, why have you been staring at me?"

Jiang Haochen: "I've been a movie star since I was a kid, and I have much more experience being scolded by fans than you do. If I cared about this kind of thing, how could I survive in the industry?"

Chi Yuan: "Then why...?"

Jiang Haochen asked, "Why are you in a bad mood?"

Chi Yuan nodded.

Jiang Haochen: "Because I have low self-esteem."

Chi Yuan's eyes widened: "Inferiority complex?"

Jiang Haochen smiled wryly, "I didn't expect to feel inferior, but I seem to really care about what your fans said. I am indeed older than you..."

Chi Yuan: "I don't mind."

Jiang Haochen: "But I do mind. I might look pretty handsome now, but I'm actually eight years older than you, almost ten. When I was in college, you were only in junior high. By the time you're my age, you'll be in your prime, while I'll be approaching old age."

Chi Yuan hurriedly shook his head: "No, Mr. Jiang is handsome no matter how old he is."

Jiang Haochen: "You're only saying this because you like me now. What if you find out later that I'm not actually that great..."

Chi Yuan: "No, Mr. Jiang will always be the best person in my heart, and I will always love you."

Jiang Haochen was just trying to appease Chi Yuan, but when he heard Chi Yuan say that he would always love him, his heart started pounding uncontrollably.

Jiang Haochen: "I believe what you said is true, but... I just worry. I guess this is what they mean by worrying too much. Because I like you so much, even if you reassure me again and again, I will still worry."

Chi Yuan was stunned. He understood this feeling very well. It was like Mr. Jiang repeatedly saying that he liked him, but he still didn't feel at ease.

Is Mr. Jiang like that too?

Jiang Haochen continued, "I was your first lover, but you are not mine. In that respect, I will never be as good as you."

Chi Yuan: "I don't mind, and you've already explained it to me."

Jiang Haochen: "I know, but I still care. Your fans are right, compared to you, I am not clean. Whether emotionally or physically, I am not clean. You like me now and say you don't care, but what if you don't like me in the future? All of this will become evidence against me."

Chi Yuan: "I won't!"

Jiang Haochen: "I believe you won't, but I just can't help feeling inferior. Can you understand how I feel?"

Chi Yuantai understood.

Chi Yuan was at a loss: "Then... what should I do?"

Jiang Haochen looked at him intently: "Give me a sense of security."
