Chapter 53 Call Me
Chapter 53 Call Me
Interest is charged on debts.
Chi Yuan, who was reading the script in the car, finally received a WeChat message from Mr. Jiang.
Chi Yuan immediately put down the script, picked up his phone, and replied: {Have you finished your work and gone home?}
Jiang Haochen: {Don't change the subject, I'm collecting interest.}
Mr. Jiang is so adorable.
Chi Yuan chuckled to himself, clutching his phone: "How much interest do you charge?"
Jiang Haochen: {Let me check how loan sharks charge interest.}
Chi Yuan waited quietly and expectantly.
Jiang Haochen: {Found it. The ultimate goal of usury is to compound interest, making it impossible for debtors to ever pay off their debts.}
Will it never be able to pay off?
"it is good."
Xiao Zhao, who was taking a nap in the back seat, woke up abruptly when he heard Chi Yuan's voice: "Brother Chi, did you call me?"
Chi Yuan: "No, I was just rehearsing my lines. You can continue sleeping."
Xiao Zhao, unsuspecting, closed his eyes and continued sleeping.
Just as Chi Yuan was about to reply to the message, Jiang Haochen sent another one: {However, I'm a good person, so I won't use compound interest. The interest will double, and you'll have to pay back twice for each debt. How about that?}
Only twice.
Chi Yuan was somewhat disappointed, but his hands didn't hesitate as he typed a reply: {I said I would never beg for mercy.}
After sending the message, there was no immediate reply. Chi Yuan waited for two minutes, but his phone remained silent. He guessed that Mr. Jiang might be busy with something else. Just as he was about to put down his phone and continue reading the script, his phone vibrated.
Jiang Haochen: {I miss you right now.}
Chi Yuan blushed instantly. His body was too familiar with Mr. Jiang; with just one sentence, his body went limp.
Chi Yuan honestly expressed his feelings: {I want to too.}
There was another silence on the other end. Chi Yuan didn't know how Jiang Haochen was reacting, but he himself was so agitated that he couldn't help but open the car window.
Xiao Zhao was woken up by the wind: "Brother Chi, it's a bit cold."
Feeling guilty, Chi Yuan apologized and quickly closed the car window again.
With a "buzzing" sound.
This time, Jiang Haochen didn't send a text message, but instead sent a voice message. Chi Yuan was reluctant to convert it to text, so he took out his earphones from his bag, carefully put them on, and clicked play.
"Can we video chat?" The background sounds were the rushing water and Mr. Jiang's heavy breathing.
What they are doing is self-evident.
Chi Yuan glanced guiltily at Xiao Zhao in the back seat and replied, "I'm in the car."
"Say it to me."
Jiang Haochen's voice was extremely pleasant, especially at times like this, carrying a captivating allure. Even if Chi Yuan didn't like him, he wouldn't be willing to refuse him.
Should I call out?
It was late at night, and the car was small. He could hear his breathing clearly, let alone shout. How could he shout in such an environment?
"Buzz~"
A message came in.
"Quick, I want to hear your voice..."
Chi Yuanshao's eyes turned red. He knew that Mr. Jiang was deliberately teasing him, but he just... couldn't refuse.
"Driver, could you please stop up ahead? I need to use the restroom."
Fortunately, the car had already exited the highway and could be parked on the side of the road.
The driver parked the car on the side of the road, and Chi Yuan carefully got out of the car, afraid of waking Xiao Zhao.
He checked his left and right hands, then ran into the darkness. Once he felt he was far enough away, he took out his phone to send a voice message.
He tried hard to recall his reaction when he was under Mr. Jiang, but after a long time, all he could remember was Jiang Haochen's reaction.
Just as he was feeling frustrated, Chi Yuan suddenly remembered that Huang Kai had sent him a book of "bedroom quotes".
Huang Kai confidently told him, "If you pick one or two of these words and say them in bed, Jiang Haochen will definitely be completely under your control."
Chi Yuan flipped through it once when he got it, but he was too embarrassed to use it.
But he kept it.
Chi Yuan quickly opened "Bedtime Quotes," blushed, picked out a quote, and sent it.
"Mr. Jiang, please xxxx me..."
After sending the message, Chi Yuan glanced back guiltily, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Xiao Zhao hadn't followed him.

in the apartment.
Jiang Haochen deeply regretted missing the gift and even took his anger out on Assistant Chen, but he also knew that this stage of work was very important for Chi Yuan, who was on the rise.
Therefore, he did not forcefully demand that Chi Yuan return and make up for the gifts he owed to his sugar daddy.
He originally just wanted to tease her a bit, but unexpectedly he ended up being teased by Chi Yuan instead.
Jiang Haochen actually reacted like that because of something someone said, acting like a brat.
He didn't make a video call directly because he knew Chi Yuan wasn't available to answer video calls right now, but he still said it anyway, just to make things difficult for Chi Yuan.
Thinking of the boy's embarrassed face in the car, he felt much more at ease.
After finally finishing tidying up and coming out of the bathroom, my phone suddenly rang.
It's voice recording?
As Jiang Haochen dried his hair, he turned on the voice chat, and Chi Yuan's voice echoed in the empty living room.
"Mr. Jiang, please don't pity me..."
To be honest, Chi Yuan's lines were really bad.
Those interjections were devoid of any emotion; all that could be heard was the voice's carefulness during recording.
But even with these subpar lines, which sounded like they were just being recited, Jiang Haochen was acting completely wrong again.
With a curse, Jiang Haochen went back to the bathroom.

After sending the message, Chi Yuan waited for a while but received no reply from Mr. Jiang, which made him a little uneasy.
He cared too much about Mr. Jiang's evaluation; he even wanted to ask if he had done a good job and whether he should do it again.
But it was too shameful, so Chi Yuan hesitated and didn't dare to ask.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao woke up, opened the car door, and called out, "Brother Chi, are you done yet?"
"Okay," Chi Yuan replied hurriedly, and quickly returned to the car.
The car sped along, and Mr. Jiang did not send any more messages after that.
We finally arrived at the film set in the early hours of the morning.
The film crew is rushing to finish production, so even at this hour, the studio is bustling with activity.
As soon as Chi Yuan entered, he was taken to see the director.
After meeting Chi Yuanzhen, the director looked him up and down, nodded, and asked, "Have you read the script?"
Chi Yuan nodded: "I've seen it."
The role he played had very few lines, only a dozen or so, which he had already memorized on the way here.
Director: "We're on a tight schedule here, so you might not be able to rest tonight. How about we have the stylist do your makeup first?"
Chi Yuan nodded: "No problem."
The character he plays is the ancestor of the nine-tailed fox, and the female lead's ancestor. As a descendant of the nine-tailed fox, the female lead is the most beautiful woman in the Eight Desolations, so the ancestor he plays must also have an absolutely stunning appearance.
In addition, this drama is a fantasy drama with an S-level investment, and the director is very generous, not even being perfunctory in the makeup and styling of the supporting characters.
This is also why Li Weiran helped him get this role; even if his screen time is only a few minutes, as long as it's good, it can become a hit.
This must have taken more than ten hours to install. Chi Yuan arrived in the early morning and it wasn't until noon the next day that it was considered to be initially completed.
But the finished product is excellent.
When Chi Yuan walked out of the dressing room, everyone around him looked at him with a bright smile.
The director was also very satisfied, praising, "The look is great. Now it's up to you to capture the essence of the Fox Ancestor. Your character doesn't have many lines, but the overall feel is very important. We'll start filming tonight, so take this afternoon to reflect on your performance."
Chi Yuan readily agreed, took the script, and walked to the side, preparing to study it carefully.
Xiao Zhao came over with a cup of coffee and said happily, "As expected of a top-tier stylist in China, your fox spirit look is absolutely stunning. I just sent it to Sister Weiran, and she said it was great and told me to take more photos of the scene for promotional purposes later."
Chi Yuan: "Is it good-looking?"
Xiao Zhao: "You won't believe me, just look."
Xiao Zhao sent the photos she had taken to Chi Yuan, showing Chi Yuan walking out of the dressing room and unconsciously looking up.
The boy in the photo has long hair and dark eyes. His fiery red fox fur coat and aloof face create a strong contrast, exuding an aura of asceticism.
Chi Yuan suddenly understood what the director meant. The fox ancestor in the script was born with a charming body. Without any deliberate effort, every move he made was graceful and charming.
He is good-looking, but he doesn't have a seductive quality.
However, Mr. Jiang should like it.
Chi Yuan: "Send me the photos."
Xiao Zhao sent the photo to Chi Yuan, who immediately forwarded it to Jiang Haochen.
Chi Yuan: {My new look.}
After sending the message, Jiang Haochen finally replied after a long wait.
Jiang Haochen: {What am I acting in?}
Just as Chi Yuan finished typing the words "Nine-Tailed Fox," he suddenly heard Xiao Zhao, who was playing King of Glory next to him, say a line from Daji on his phone: "Daji, you've been played to death."
Chi Yuan shifted slightly and secretly sent a message: {Master, Daji was completely ruined last night.}
At Tianyu headquarters, Jiang Haochen gasped upon seeing the reply: "A demon!"
