Chapter 56: Sugar Daddy~
When Jiang Mi heard Gu Chuan’s voice, a smile instinctively appeared on her face as she quickly walked over to open the door.
She immediately saw the man’s cold, handsome face and the glass of milk he was holding.
Jiang Mi blinked in surprise, “You came to deliver milk?”
Gu Chuan responded with a deep, melodious voice, “Milk helps with sleep.”
In the middle of the night, delivering milk like this, is he really that serious?
Jiang Mi wanted to complain but reached for the milk glass only to have her finger hooked by his.
His fingertips were rough and slightly warm.
A tingling sensation spread through her limbs.
Gu Chuan lowered his gaze to the girl in front of him, his voice soft and husky, “Goodnight, baby.”
At that moment, Jiang Mi truly understood why there was a saying online that a pleasant voice could make your ears pregnant.
She felt her whole body tingling, soft and sweet, with a constant, gentle itch.
Her ears seemed to be on the verge of being “pregnant” from Gu Chuan’s voice.
Until she fell asleep, Jiang Mi could still hear Gu Chuan’s gentle and low voice in her ears.
“Goodnight, baby.”
It was just too unfair.
The next morning.
The Jiang family’s lawyer came to inform Jiang Mi about the contract termination process. Everything went smoothly, the contract was signed, and on top of that, the entertainment company had to pay Jiang Mi a breach of contract penalty.
Moreover, several major entertainment companies called, wanting to sign Jiang Mi.
Jiang Mi currently had no manager or assistant, and her only bodyguard had even more mysterious credentials than she did.
Since these entertainment companies couldn’t contact her bodyguard, they reached out to the lawyer who handled her contract termination.
Jiang Mi was not surprised by this. With the dating show airing, her popularity had skyrocketed. Even though there were still some so-called “scandals” hanging over her, in this era where traffic is king, having scandals was better than not having any. After all, being “black” but popular was truly popular.
However, Jiang Mi wasn’t planning to sign with another agency; she preferred to be the chess player rather than just a pawn.
She shared her thoughts with her father and Gu Chuan.
Jiang Mi’s father found it troublesome, thinking that since his daughter wanted to stay in the entertainment industry, he could set up a company for her instead of her struggling to build a studio on her own.
But seeing the sparkle in Jiang Mi’s eyes, he felt genuinely pleased that his daughter was no longer just infatuated with romance but had developed ambition and a career focus. He supported her!
So, Jiang Mi’s father immediately assigned a few capable and reputable employees from the conglomerate to help her.
Gu Chuan went a step further and gave Jiang Mi an entire floor of the FGH company’s office building as her studio’s office space.
In the following days, Jiang Mi began setting up her studio. With money, resources, and connections, the various procedures for establishing the studio were completed in no time.
In the evening, Jiang Mi’s personal studio’s verified Yellow V account was announced on Weibo.
As soon as the Weibo account was announced, keen fans immediately noticed and excitedly spread the word.
Fans often have simple thoughts. After being impressed by Jiang Mi’s glamorous and cool image on the dating show, they thought all her previous scandals were false, caused by her previous company’s negligence in clearing them up.
Now that Jiang Mi had terminated her contract with the company and established her own studio, fans viewed her as a victim of company oppression.
Fans were posting, “My sister is mine alone,” and cursing the former company, causing a huge stir that even made the trending searches.
Seeing the news on the trending list, Bai Ruoruo nearly smashed her phone in anger.
Recently, she had been trying to use connections to get her assistant Xiaomin released, but the police were strict, and Jiang Mi’s lawyer was pressing hard, collecting all kinds of evidence, suggesting Xiaomin might be imprisoned for decades.
Xiaomin, terrified, threatened Bai Ruoruo to resolve the situation quickly, or she would expose her.
Bai Ruoruo was both anxious and scared. When she saw Jiang Mi trending for establishing a studio, her anger reached its peak.
She also saw people online posting about how “my sister is mine alone,” which further infuriated her.
How could Jiang Mi be the only one?
She clearly had a powerful and wealthy family, but she pretended to be poor to garner sympathy from fans. What a scheming person!
Bai Ruoruo thought of a plan. Right now, fans saw Jiang Mi as a poor soul fighting against capital alone. If it were revealed that she had support behind her, fans would surely be disappointed and unfollow her.
But that alone wasn’t enough; she needed to completely ruin Jiang Mi’s reputation, making her despised and reviled like before!
At three in the morning.
Terms related to Jiang Mi quietly appeared on the trending list.
[Fans, don’t worry. Jiang Mi has a strong background, she doesn’t need you all.]
[She was already carrying luxury brand bags when she first debuted; she had backers even then.]
[Her previous company signed her and gave her resources to make her popular. There’s no credit but certainly some hardship. Now, she’s not only terminating the contract but also making the company compensate her. Is there no fairness?]
[There was an actress, C, who competed for the same role. The director favored C’s acting skills, but Jiang Mi, unwilling, secretly spread rumors and sabotaged C, causing her to lose the role.]
[Everyone in the industry knows she’s very arrogant, often late and rude, as if the whole world is her servant. It’s disgusting.]
[Jiang Mi’s past deeds were despicable, doing so many unethical things. Now, she easily clears her name because of a dating show. Does she think fans are blind?]
At three in the morning, most people were asleep, while only diligent trolls were busy posting to grab attention.
By morning, the internet was flooded with news about Jiang Mi’s powerful background, arrogance, and bullying.
The trolls were smart, vaguely stating she had powerful backers.
When a young, beautiful woman is associated with capital, people unconsciously link it to certain transactions.
For a time, the long-lost “sugar daddy” rumors became widespread.
By morning, Jiang Mi’s fans woke up intermittently and started controlling the reviews, but it was too late.
Jiang Mi was woken by Lu Yu’s frantic calls.
“Mimi, something big has happened!” Lu Yu’s voice was anxious.
Jiang Mi, still a bit dazed from sleep, tried to recall the original plot and wondered why Lu Yu was in trouble at this hour.
“What happened?” Jiang Mi asked with concern.
“It’s not me, it’s you!” Lu Yu’s voice was filled with agitation and frustration. “Since you set up your personal studio yesterday, people have been attacking you, saying you have a rich backer.”
Coincidentally, Jiang Mi also opened the trending list and saw a series of terms related to her name. She raised an eyebrow, “I do have a backer.”
“Who?” Lu Yu, not taking it seriously, thought Jiang Mi would say it was her fans supporting her.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Mi’s voice was sweet and obedient, “My dad and my boyfriend.”
“You, you, you!” Lu Yu was momentarily stunned, then took a while to respond, “Uncle and Gu Chuan?”
Jiang Mi smiled, “Yes.”
Lu Yu took a deep breath, “Mimi, let’s not joke around at a time like this. This situation needs to be handled properly, or your hard-earned image will be ruined again.”
“Don’t worry, my sugar daddy will take care of it.”
