My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 126 Head-on Confrontation with Xie Lingzhou

GH's spring new products feature five brand ambassadors, each representing a different series.

To save time, the photographer first took a group photo of all five people, and then took individual photos of each person.

There were only two photographers, so the shooting had to be done in order. Chi Yuan was the least famous, so he was naturally scheduled last.

However, there was a silver lining: because there was plenty of time, GH's designers put together several new outfits for Chi Yuan.

"Teacher Chi, it's your turn." A staff member came in to inform Chi Yuan to go to the set for filming.

Chi Yuan was somewhat surprised: "It's finished filming so quickly?"

"Yes, the two teachers in front of me were in particularly good condition."

Chi Yuan had already put on his clothes for the photoshoot and got up to walk towards the studio. When he came out of the dressing room, he ran into Xie Lingzhou, who was just returning.

Chi Yuan ignored him and walked straight past, only to run into GH's president, Levin, at the corner.

"Mr. Levin," Chi Yuan nodded in greeting.

"Going to film?"

"Yes."

Chi Yuan was in a hurry to film, so he walked over as he spoke, while Levin stood still, watching Chi Yuan's back with a look of great interest.

"Mr. Levin, have you taken a liking to him?" Xie Lingzhou returned at some point.

Having been in this industry for so many years, if he couldn't even see through Levin's blatant gaze, he must be blind.

Levin: "There's a saying in China: 'Everyone has a love for beauty.' Beautiful things always make people want to look at them more."

How can something that climbs into bed be described as wonderful?

Xie Lingzhou inwardly scoffed, but outwardly said, "Chi Yuan is indeed very handsome. Have you seen his viral video about the Fox Ancestor?"

Levin asked in surprise, "What Fox Ancestor video?"

Xie Lingzhou smiled: "Shall I show it to you?"

As he spoke, Xie Lingzhou took out his phone and searched for a clip of Chi Yuan dancing on Banana TV's New Year's Eve show on Weibo, then showed it to Levin.

Levin watched the entire five-minute performance without even realizing it.

"I never knew he could dance so well."

"Yes," Xie Lingzhou suddenly sighed, "Actually, thinking about it, Chi Yuan has it pretty tough. He dances on stage to please the audience. In order to get on this stage, he has to please them..."

As if realizing he had said something wrong, Xie Lingzhou awkwardly stopped the conversation.

Just then, Han Dai walked over, and Xie Lingzhou made an excuse to leave: "My agent seems to need to talk to me. Mr. Levin, why don't you go to the set and check out the filming? We can have dinner together after it's over."

Laiwen had always liked handsome Eastern boys, and after watching Chi Yuan's video of the Fox Ancestor, he was even more moved. Upon hearing this, he actually walked towards the filming location.

Han Dai approached and noticed that Levin, who had been supposed to have dinner with them, had suddenly left. She asked in surprise, "Why did Mr. Levin leave?"

Xie Lingzhou: "It seems like he's taken a liking to Chi Yuan."

Han Dai raised an eyebrow, not surprised at all: "I noticed something when I came in, and I didn't expect it to be true."

The subtle handshake between Levin and Chi Yuan went unnoticed by others, but a veteran in the industry like him could easily see through it.

This kind of thing happens a lot in the industry; it's not even about being kept, it's just lust at first sight.

Many celebrities don't reject this kind of relationship: a one-night stand in exchange for a top luxury brand endorsement—a win-win situation where neither owes the other anything. Even celebrities who are already brand ambassadors for top luxury brands, let alone those like Chi Won who haven't yet secured a top luxury brand endorsement, are willing to maintain such relationships.

On set.

Chi Yuan wasn't surprised by Levin's appearance; as the president of GH, it was perfectly normal for him to care about the filming results.

The reason why Chi Won's endorsement of the luxury series is so effective is because his appearance and temperament are a perfect match for GH's luxury series. In addition, his natural camera presence and his superior looks make it possible for photographers to capture poster-quality photos even with just a casual snapshot.

Levin had seen Chi Yuan's posters before, but posters could never compare to the liveliness of the real person.

The shoot ended half an hour earlier than expected. Chi Yuan went to the dressing room to change, but no sooner had he entered than Levin walked in unabashedly.

Chi Yuan paused, then asked, "Mr. Levin, is there something you need?"

Chi Yuan didn't think he had anything to say to Levin, but since it was just the two of them, Levin must have come to find him.

Chi Yuan suddenly remembered the handshake from a little while earlier.

Sure enough, Levin said, "I like you very much."

Chi Yuan's pupils contracted, but he quickly calmed down. The other party was the president of GH, and he couldn't make a move.

"You don't like me; you're just somewhat interested in me," Chi Yuan said bluntly.

Levin laughed. "I like your frankness. Yes, I am indeed very interested in you. Beautiful Eastern boy, may I invite you to dinner tonight?"

Chi Yuan: "I'm sorry, I already have someone I like."

Levin: "You're afraid Jiang will get angry, aren't you?"

Chi Yuan was taken aback.

Levin: "I know about your relationship with Jiang. Don't worry, Jiang won't be angry. He told me personally that he won't stop you as long as you're willing."

Chi Yuan suddenly clenched his fist: "Jiang... he... could not possibly say that."

Levin: "It's true. You can ask him if you don't believe me."

Chi Yuan: "I don't believe it."

Levin took out his phone: "If you don't believe me, I can call him right now."

Levin was about to actually make the call.

"Levin?" Jiang Haochen's voice came from the other end of the phone.

Chi Yuan rushed over and hung up the phone that had just been connected.

Levin looked up in surprise and met the boy's eyes, which were almost overwhelmed with sadness.

"I don't want to."

Chi Yuan didn't know how Jiang Haochen would answer; he dared not listen, nor dared he gamble.

If Mr. Jiang really said on the phone that he didn't mind, he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on for even these last few months.

Levin: "That's a real shame."

Chi Yuan was unwilling, and Levin did not force him, so he turned and left.

Levin left, and before Chi Yuan could recover from the emotions he had just experienced, the door was pushed open again, and Xie Lingzhou walked in.

Xie Lingzhou's face betrayed his undisguised sarcasm; he had heard everything: "Do you know why Levin asked you so directly? Because in his eyes, you're just a high-class gigolo with a price tag. In this industry, once you're kept, you're just merchandise forever."

Chi Yuan knew that Xie Lingzhou was telling the truth; anything that had been sold must have a price, and he understood that principle.

But why should Xie Lingzhou seek validation from him?

Chi Yuan asked coldly, "Are you jealous?"

Xie Lingzhou found it amusing: "What do I have to be jealous of?"

Chi Yuan: "I'm jealous that I can be with Mr. Jiang, I'm jealous that Mr. Jiang gives me resources and lets me act, I'm jealous that Mr. Jiang sleeps with me every day and can't get enough of me."

Xie Lingzhou's expression twisted into a ferocious grin for a moment: "No wonder you're a prostitute, you're shameless."

Chi Yuan: "You said it yourself, I'm a prostitute, what's wrong with me? But you, so concerned about my relationship with Mr. Jiang, do you also want to sell yourself and think I'm taking up space?"

Xie Lingzhou never publicly acknowledged his relationship with Jiang Haochen, so Chi Yuanquan pretended not to know.

"you……"

"I remember now, Professor Xie was quite familiar with Mr. Jiang before she went abroad. Could it be that she was also selling herself back then? No wonder, so Professor Xie is my senior." Chi Yuan said with a disrespectful expression, "Senior, you were selling yourself abroad, how come you're back to compete with me for business? Could it be that you didn't do well abroad?"

"Shut your filthy mouth!"

"At least I only sold out Mr. Jiang. My seniors have all been sold out abroad. How could I be as dirty as you?"

Xie Lingzhou never expected Chi Yuan to be so sharp-tongued, and his voice trembled with anger: "Does Jiang Haochen know what kind of face you have?"

Chi Yuan retorted, not to be outdone: "Does Mr. Jiang know what kind of person you are?"

Xie Lingzhou realized he had lost his temper, took a deep breath, and composed himself: "I know you like him, but no matter what you do, no matter how wild you are in bed, Jiang Haochen will never like you. If you don't believe me, you can search online and see how he treated me and how he treated you. Back then, he would get angry if I said just one extra word to someone else, but with you, he could give you away anytime."

That cut hurt terribly.

Chi Yuan could no longer maintain his composure, and his voice trembled for a moment: "This only proves that you like him less than I like him."

This wasn't an offensive remark, yet it left Xie Lingzhou speechless.
