My crush wants to be my sugar daddy.

Chapter 149 Lying on her brother's lap, looking at the roses

Cui Dong took Chi Yuan on a tour of the entertainment industry's top connections.

After meeting Shen Lian, he took Chi Yuan to meet top directors and producers, as well as some brands that he thought were suitable for Chi Yuan's image.

President Tianyu personally led the meeting, and everyone there was shrewd enough to understand. They all shook hands with Chi Yuan politely, added him on WeChat, and were extremely courteous.

Cui Dong did these things without trying to hide them from people; any artist who entered the inner area could see them, which made many people envious.

Those connections that they couldn't even get close to despite using every means possible were simply handed to them by Chi Yuan.

Most people know Chi Yuan from "Fox Ancestor" and think he was just lucky to become famous right after his debut. But some people know about Chi Yuan's background, such as Li Rui and Wang Ming.

Li Rui has had decent resources in the past two years, playing the male lead in low-budget dramas and the male supporting role in big-budget productions, but the roles he plays are always a bit lacking, and the audience can't remember them; he can only become a familiar face.

For today's awards ceremony, he personally paid for the top styling studio in City B to do his makeup and hair, hoping to attract some fans on the red carpet and then chat with some producers and directors after entering the venue. But all his painstaking efforts in makeup and styling went completely unnoticed, and Chi Yuan stole all the spotlight on the red carpet.

It's just a hand-painted rose pattern. What's so special about it?

"That waist is incredibly slim."

Li Rui suppressed his jealousy and lowered his head to deal with the person beside him, only to realize that the other person wasn't talking to him. Wang Ming's lecherous eyes were fixed on Chi Yuan in the distance with infatuation.

Perhaps because he was the only one among Wang Ming's lovers who had any interaction with Chi Yuan, Wang Ming would compare him to Chi Yuan every time they made love.

"Your fawning face is disgusting after a while. I prefer Chi Yuan's defiant spirit; it makes me want to get him."

"I get hard just by looking at the Fox Ancestor, but I can only sleep with a piece of trash like you."

……

If Wang Ming hadn't been relatively generous, he would have stopped serving this fat pig long ago.

Some were jealous, some were envious, and some were even on the verge of losing their composure.

Xie Lingzhou was an award presenter invited to the party, a high-profile figure, and sat among the producers and directors in this circle. He watched coldly as Cui Dong introduced Chi Yuan to the directors and producers one by one, feeling indescribably uncomfortable.

He repeatedly told himself that Chi Yuan was brought over by Cui Dong, which was a company decision, and that it was normal for the company to promote Chi Yuan, given his recent good momentum. It was different if Jiang Haochen hadn't personally brought him over.

However, his self-deception was shattered when Chi Yuan met with Zhou Lin, the head of K Jewelry.

"The brooch is beautiful."

Finally, someone spotted his brooch!

Chi Yuan's somewhat dazed mind, which had been filled with social engagements, instantly cleared up, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face: "I also think it looks great."

After saying that, he realized he shouldn't have spoken that way and quickly added, "Thank you for your compliment."

Zhou Lin wasn't angry and said with a smile, "Then I should thank you for your praise."

Chi Yuan was surprised.

Zhou Lin explained, "I designed this brooch."

Chi Yuan's eyes widened.

Zhou Lin: "But I remember I gave it to President Jiang."

Chi Yuan panicked slightly: "It was...it was Mr. Jiang who lent it to me."

He didn't dare say it was a gift, not knowing the relationship between this person and Mr. Jiang, and was afraid that the other party would be angry if he said it was a gift.

Zhou Lin smiled and looked at Cui Dong: "Speaking of which, your CEO Jiang still owes me an endorsement. I designed a set of rose-themed jewelry, and your CEO Jiang promised to endorse it for me, but then he suddenly retired from acting. I still remember that."

Cui Dong laughed and said, "Then what do you think of our Chi Yuan? You just praised Chi Yuan for wearing the brooch, so how about I give it to you as compensation?"

Zhou Lin looked Chi Yuan up and down. The young man had bright eyes and white teeth, a clean and tidy appearance, and his eyes were sparkling like dazzling gems: "Okay, I'll have your agent come to the company to talk later."

Then they exchanged contact information with Chi Yuan.

Endorsement for K Jewelry?

How did he end up getting an endorsement deal with K Jewelry? Wasn't it an endorsement Mr. Jiang owed? Why is he being asked to pay it back?

Even if Chi Yuan is stupid, he knows that he has gotten the better deal.

Chi Yuan looked completely bewildered: "How... how did you get me the endorsement deal?"

Seeing his confused expression, Cui Dong knew it was Old Jiang, that brooding old man, who hadn't said anything explicitly. That's just how he is; he silently gives all the benefits without saying a word, making it seem like the resources he painstakingly created were earned through merit.

Cui Dong felt it necessary to say a few words in support of his friend: "K Jewelry was endorsed by Lao Jiang in its early days, you know that, right?"

Chi Yuan nodded.

Cui Dong: "Actually, at that time, K Jewelry wasn't doing well in Asia. Not only were they expensive, but their designs didn't suit Asian aesthetics. Zhou Lin was just an ordinary jewelry designer then, not valued. When Lao Jiang, as the spokesperson, went to choose jewelry, he chose Zhou Lin's designs and told K Jewelry's then-manager that Zhou Lin's designs were masterpieces. Later, the jewelry sold very well, and K Jewelry opened a separate design line for Zhou Lin, which led to the CEO Zhou we know today. So, rather than saying Lao Jiang owes K Jewelry a spokesperson, it's more accurate to say that CEO Zhou has always wanted to repay a favor."

Cui Dong pointed to the diamond brooch pinned to Chi Yuan's chest and said bluntly, "When the Rose series came out, K Jewelry gave this brooch to Lao Jiang to wear at events. However, Lao Jiang was injured and retired from acting, so he didn't continue to be the spokesperson. When Lao Jiang had someone return the brooch, Zhou Lin refused to accept it, saying that Lao Jiang could exchange this brooch for the K Jewelry endorsement at any time."

Upon hearing this, Chi Yuan understood everything. He stared at the diamond brooch on his chest, his eyes filled with shock.

What Mr. Jiang gave him was not a brooch, but an endorsement of top international luxury jewelry.

Chi Yuan: "I..."

Chi Yuan didn't know what to say.

At that moment, the music started playing, signaling the start of the party, and someone came over to ask the two to return to their seats.

Chi Yuan walked blankly to his seat, while Cui Dong plopped down next to Shen Lian.

Once everyone was alone, Cui Dongcai whispered gossip, "How did it go?"

Shen Lian glanced at Xie Lingzhou, who was sitting in a daze not far away, and commented, "Better than the last one."

Cui Dong chuckled: "What's so great about it?"

Shen Lian: "It looks pleasing to the eye."

It was his first time meeting Chi Yuan, so he couldn't comment too much. But he watched coldly as Chi Yuan, having been introduced to so many people by Cui Dong, remained poised and confident, his eyes showing neither obsequiousness nor scheming, and even a hint of bewilderment...

She's naive and kind-hearted, perfect for someone like Jiang Haochen who's obsessed with romance.

Sitting in his seat, Chi Yuan's mind was filled with Cui Dong's last words. He stared at the brooch for a long time before finally taking out his phone: "Mr. Jiang, it seems I've landed an endorsement deal with K Jewelry."

Jiang Haochen: {Really? Congratulations.}

Chi Yuan: {Mr. Jiang, President Cui said it was obtained in exchange for the brooch you gave him.}

Jiang Haochen: {That big mouth.}

Chi Yuan: {Mr. Jiang, this is far too precious.}

Jiang Haochen: {Want to thank me?}

No, I want to return it to you.

Chi Yuan deleted the words and said thank you: {Thank you.}

Jiang Haochen: {Come to my house that night and show me the rose on your chest.}

He'd watched the video of Chi Won walking the red carpet on his phone countless times. Those lustful fans said they wanted to lie on top of him to see the roses.

That's just wishful thinking.

But he can.
