My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Another week passed, and Chi Yuan was discharged from the hospital after recovering.

The injuries are healing better than expected, but the doctor still advised against strenuous exercise for two weeks.

Xiao Zhao: "Fortunately, the action scenes in 'The Emperor's Power' have been mostly filmed. There aren't many action scenes left, and Director Rong said we can save them for the next few days to film together."

Chi Won: "Then the entire crew will have to adjust according to my instructions?"

Li Weiran chimed in, "This accident was originally the crew's fault, so adjustments are necessary. Director Rong won't say anything."

Chi Yuan paused for a moment, then smiled. Now he has a company and an agent who will support him; he's no longer the small-time actor who had to rely on himself for everything.

"Thanks."

Li Weiran looked into the boy's eyes and said irritably, "What are you thanking me for? I'm your manager, this is all part of my job."

Chi Yuan nodded: "I know, but thank you anyway."

Agents can be dedicated or not, especially after the Chang Lei incident, Li Weiran is practically an angel in his eyes.

The strong woman's firm lips unconsciously curled into a smile as she turned around and continued, "However, the resources you mentioned for the New Year's Eve gala are gone."

New Year's Day is just around the corner, and Chi Yuan was hospitalized during the rehearsals for the New Year's Eve galas of various TV stations, so the programs that had been agreed upon were canceled.

Chi Yuan didn't seem to care: "It's okay, I'm not very good at singing anyway."

An artist like him who tries to make his presence known can only blend into the crowd, sing a song with everyone, and get some exposure.

Li Weiran: "However, President Jiang has also secured you a spot at the Lunar New Year's Eve party."

Chi Yuan's eyes widened slightly: "Mr. Jiang?"

Li Weiran nodded: "I originally thought I would save these resources for later when there is a suitable opportunity, but I didn't expect Assistant Chen to come to me yesterday and say that Banana TV's New Year's Eve Gala would let me go."

Xiao Zhao exclaimed with delight, "Many artists want to be on Banana TV's New Year's Eve gala. Their stage design is top-notch in China, and they tailor programs to each artist's strengths. Many stars have become famous on their stage. President Jiang, you must have put in a lot of effort!"

Li Weiran nodded: "I didn't expect you to get this opportunity, but you deserve credit for it too."

Chi Yuan asked in surprise, "Me?"

Li Weiran: "The production team contacted me, wanting you to perform the fox clan's sacrificial dance during the gala."

Chi Yuan realized: "The Legend of the Green Fox?"

Li Weiran: "The Legend of the Green Fox will be broadcast after the New Year. Recently, another trailer was released, which includes a scene of the female lead dancing in a sacrificial ceremony. The scene was filmed very beautifully. Didn't your Fox Ancestor become popular before? Netizens left comments saying they wanted to see you dance a sacrificial dance too. Banana TV knows best how to attract viewers, so they probably saw this as a good point."

Chi Yuan hesitated, "This dance needs the approval of the 'Legend of the Green Fox,' right? And will Jiang Yanxue agree to it?"

Even for a cameo role, Chi Yuan did his research. "The Legend of the Green Fox" is a female-oriented novel, and besides the plot, another selling point of the entire drama is the beauty of the female lead. The sacrificial dance is a highlight for the female lead, and Jiang Yanxue even specially learned the dance for a month. Now, netizens want her to dance it, which must make her uncomfortable.

Li Weiran: "She will definitely feel uncomfortable, but it's okay. This matter was initiated by Banana TV, and the production team also agreed. She doesn't dare to offend either side."

That's how this industry works; whoever has the most popularity gets the role. But when Chi Yuan was cast as a guest star, nobody expected that a character with only a few minutes of screen time would outshine the female lead.

Chi Yuan also knew that in this circle, it was impossible not to offend anyone; as long as one had a clear conscience, that was enough.

"it is good."

Li Weiran suddenly remembered: "How's your dancing? Let me take a look at the dance moves for this sacrificial dance. It requires a lot of flexibility from the dancers. How's your flexibility? If you're not flexible enough, I'll see if I can find a teacher to correct the dance moves."

Chi Yuan: "It should... be alright."

Li Weiran: "What do you mean by 'should be okay'? What did your dance teacher say when you were practicing dance at the company?"

Chi Yuan's ears turned slightly red without her noticing: "The dance teacher didn't say anything, but Mr. Jiang said my flexibility is pretty good."

silence!

The two, who understood instantly, fell into a long silence.

Li Weiran was filled with regret. Knowing that the child was honest, why did she still press him for details?

"Well, I'm discharged from the hospital. There are still fans waiting outside."

"Yes, yes, Brother Chi, let me fix your hair again."

The two pretended that the conversation had never happened, packed their things at double speed, and were discharged from the hospital.

At the hospital entrance, a group of fans waited, holding flowers and gifts, and shouted from afar.

"Yuanbao, are you feeling better?"

"Yuanbao, is your body still aching?"

"Oh dear, Yuanbao, you've lost weight again. You need to eat more!"

……

The boy, who had been hospitalized for half a month, had indeed become thinner, and his hair had grown longer, giving him a melancholic beauty.

Chi Yuan initially thought he would be nervous, after all, this was his first time interacting with fans face-to-face. But when he saw the fans' enthusiastic and concerned expressions, a warmth he had never felt before rose from the bottom of his heart, making the young man smile.

The warm winter sun shone into the boy's bright eyes, captivating all who saw him: "Thank you for coming to see me."

It took more than half an hour of signing autographs, taking photos, and receiving gifts before they finally got into the car. Even after getting in the car, Chi Yuan still clung to the gifts in his arms, refusing to let go.

Li Weiran found it amusing: "When you have more fans in the future, you'll receive so many gifts that you won't even bother to accept them."

Chi Yuan: "Ran-jie, can we announce the program for Lunar New Year's Eve in advance?"

Li Weiran: "You want to announce it ahead of time?"

Chi Yuan nodded: "Didn't you say that fans want to see me dance the Fox Ancestor Dance? If we announce it in advance, they should be happy, right?"

Chi Yuan wanted to give his fans a gift in return, and after thinking it over, this was the only thing he could come up with.

Li Weiran: "Okay, I'll ask for you."

Chi Yuan hummed in agreement, then put down the gift he was holding and took out his phone to message Jiang Haochen: {Mr. Jiang, I've been discharged from the hospital.}

Jiang Haochen seemed to have some free time and quickly replied: {Congratulations.}

Chi Yuan thought for a moment, then typed another line: {Thank you for the New Year's Eve gala on Banana TV.}

Jiang Haochen: {How do you plan to thank me?}

Chi Yuan was already somewhat familiar with Mr. Jiang's tactics; every time he asked this question, he definitely had something in mind.

{How would you like me to thank you?}

Jiang Haochen: {Come back and dance for me alone.}

What's so difficult about that?

Chi Yuan readily agreed: {Okay.}

Jiang Haochen: {No clothes allowed.}

Chi Yuan imagined the scene for a moment, his fingers trembling slightly: {Okay.}

After replying to the message, Li Weiran looked up, about to speak, when she saw Chi Yuan's flushed face: "Why is your face so red?"

Chi Yuan: "The heating... the heating is too strong."
