My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

"The Imperial Power" has finally wrapped up filming.

Chi Yuan originally wanted to rush back to City B as soon as possible, but Li Weiran wouldn't allow it. He bought a plane ticket for that night and sent him directly to City H, where Banana TV was located.

Seeing that Chi Yuan was a little unhappy, Li Weiran earnestly advised him on the plane: "You're a newcomer. You didn't even go to the rehearsals before, which was already a lot of face for us. Now that filming is finished, you should go early and cooperate more so that they will have a good impression of you."

Chi Yuan: "Ran-jie, I know."

He understood all these principles, but he really hadn't seen Mr. Jiang for a long time.

He was Mr. Jiang's kept lover, but since filming began, almost five months have passed, and he and Mr. Jiang have only met twice in total, and he only provided services once.

Don't say you're just a kept woman; even if you were her boyfriend, this is incredibly irresponsible.

But perhaps it's precisely because she's not his boyfriend that Mr. Jiang doesn't care.

Li Weiran: "I know you went back to City B to see President Jiang, but the fact that President Jiang is willing to give you resources proves that he still likes you."

Chi Yuan finally perked up a bit: "Really?"

To outsiders, does Mr. Jiang seem to like her?

Li Weiran affirmed, "Of course, and given your current momentum, even if President Jiang doesn't like you anymore, the company won't give up on you."

Chi Yuan: "..." The following sentence is unnecessary.

Chi Yuan: "Ran-jie, after this party is over, can I rest for a few more days?"

Li Weiran: "Okay, I'll give you a two-week break later."

Chi Yuan finally smiled, hummed in agreement, and immediately took out his phone to inform Jiang Haochen of the news: {Mr. Jiang, Sister Ran said that after the performance on the eve of the Lunar New Year, I can take a two-week break.}

Tianyu, Cui Dong's office.

Jiang Haochen glanced at the message on his phone, a hint of a smile appearing in his eyes: "What did you just say?"

Cui Dong: "I asked you to go to H City for me. It's the director of Banana TV's birthday. You can't give people like that too expensive a gift, but you have to make sure you get the respect you deserve. I was originally planning to go in person, but I had something else to do and couldn't get away. After thinking about it, you're the only one who's important enough for me."

H City, ah~

Jiang Haochen asked, "Which day?"

Cui Dong: "It's just the day after the Lunar New Year's Eve. They're not planning a big celebration. Just go and give them a gift during the day. Oh, and their daughter is a fan of yours, so see if you have any merchandise to bring her back."

Jiang Haochen agreed: "Okay."

Cui Dong glanced at the dark circles under Jiang Haochen's eyes and advised, "Don't push yourself too hard. Get some rest. We can talk about the project after the New Year."

Jiang Haochen: "It has nothing to do with the project, I just can't sleep well."

Cui Dong frowned: "Hasn't your problem of having trouble sleeping every now and then been cured?"

Jiang Haochen suffered from severe insomnia for a period of time. Although he recovered, he still experienced intermittent difficulty sleeping. However, his condition improved a lot this year, and he thought he had fully recovered.

Jiang Haochen rubbed his temples: "It's nothing, it'll be fine in a couple of days."

His cat has a sleep quality that's contagious; when the cat comes back, he can hold it and use it as a sleeping pill.

City H

Backstage at the gala on the eve of the Lunar New Year.

Chi Yuan's show is scheduled for 9 p.m., which is the time slot with the highest viewership for the gala. Usually, only popular celebrities and big stars can appear during this time slot.

The fact that Chi Won was able to appear at this time shows how much Banana TV values ​​his program.

Chi Yuan was already dressed up, but there were still fifty minutes before he was supposed to go on stage. As a newcomer, Chi Yuan didn't have a dressing room and could only wait outside in thin clothes.

Xiao Zhao was worried that Chi Yuan would get cold, so he wanted to find a lounge for Chi Yuan to warm up, but the lounge was full of big shots, and he, as a small assistant, didn't know anyone. He searched for a long time but couldn't find a place.

Seeing that Xiao Zhao was anxious, Chi Yuan comforted him instead: "It's okay, I'm just warming up."

His ceremonial robes were so elaborate that he dared not wear an overcoat over them for fear of damaging the decorations.

Just then, a staff member came over and said to them, "Restroom number 6 is empty. You can go inside and warm up."

Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up: "Is that okay?"

Staff: "Okay, the artist in lounge number 6 is stuck in traffic and will be a little late. You can go in and wait there. I'll let you know when they arrive."

Xiao Zhao was extremely grateful: "Thank you, thank you so much."

The staff member smiled and said, "You're welcome."

After the staff left, the two went to lounge number 6, which was indeed empty.

Meanwhile, in the parking lot, inside a minivan, a movie star was sipping a hot coffee.

Zhu Feng couldn't help but mutter, "I mean, what's the point of all this? They have no idea you gave up the lounge."

That's right, the lounge belongs to Yan Chuan.

There was no traffic jam at all. They just saw Chi Yuan shivering in the lobby when they went upstairs. His boss immediately turned around and went back to the parking lot, leaving the lounge to someone else.

Yan Chuan: "If we just said it directly, would he be able to get in?"

Zhu Feng considered Chi Yuan's personality and said, "Then it's probably not possible."

Yan Chuan: "We'll time it right before he goes on stage."

Zhu Feng immediately understood and gave a thumbs up: "I knew you weren't the type to give without expecting anything in return."

He doesn't expect anything in return for his efforts; he's not a fool like Chi Yuan.

Just then, a car slowly drove into the parking lot and stopped not far away.

A person got out of the car and was on the phone.

Zhu Feng glanced at it boredly for a moment, then recognized him: "Brother, isn't that Movie Emperor Jiang?"

Yan Chuan turned his head and, sure enough, saw Jiang Haochen's face.

Zhu Feng: "Jiang Yingdi came to see Chi Yuan? It seems he's quite fond of his little sweetheart, Chi Yuan."

Yan Chuan scoffed, "If you really liked it, couldn't you even arrange a lounge?"

What you're describing is the treatment a boyfriend receives; I'm talking about a lover. From a lover's perspective, Jiang Haochen has been genuinely good to Chi Yuan. It's an S+ level drama, and a gala stage performance—opportunities that countless people would fight tooth and nail for.

However, Zhu Feng didn't dare say these words.

"Click"

Yan Chuan opened the car door and was about to get out when Zhu Feng was startled: "Brother, where are you going?"

Yan Chuan: "Didn't you tell me to snatch them away?"

The relationship between Chi Yuan and Jiang Haochen is one-sided; Chi Yuan likes Jiang Haochen, and it's unlikely that Chi Yuan will let go voluntarily. But Jiang Haochen is different; he's a sugar daddy, and for a sugar daddy, a lover can be replaced at any time.

In particular, a charming young lover who enjoys attracting attention.

"President Jiang." Yan Chuan got out of the car and greeted Jiang Haochen.

Jiang Haochen had just finished contacting Xiao Zhao and was waiting for him to come down to pick him up when he saw Yan Chuan walking towards him.

Jiang Haochen was somewhat surprised: "Mr. Yan."

Yan Chuan apologized, "I've been wanting to apologize to President Jiang for what happened last time, and it just so happens that we've run into each other today. I'd like to formally apologize to you."

Jiang Haochen raised an eyebrow: "Mr. Yan, what are you saying? I don't recall anything about this."

Yan Chuan: "Regarding what happened on set last time, I wasn't very nice to you. It's all my fault; I was petty back then."

Petty?

Before Jiang Haochen could ask, Yan Chuan took the initiative to explain, "You know, I'm used to being a womanizer. At that time, I happened to have my eye on one of your artists, so I thought... Later I found out he was one of yours, so... you know what I mean. I hope President Jiang won't mind."

Yan Chuan has taken a liking to Chi Yuan?!

Yes, he had heard before that Yan Chuan took good care of Chi Yuan on set. He had also heard some of Yan Chuan's reputation.

Jiang Haochen stared at Yan Chuan for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "It seems my artist doesn't like you, otherwise Mr. Yan wouldn't be taking his anger out on me."

Yan Chuan's expression froze; this was not the effect he wanted.
