In fact, Yan Huan had been paying attention to Jiang Qingyue’s show all along because he considered himself to be an arch-enemy with Ren Shuhan, even though it was one-sided from his part. He always compared himself to Ren Shuhan, so when Ren Shuhan appeared in Jiang Qingyue’s show, Yan Huan noticed it.
However, after watching the normal press conference, Yan Huan felt that there was nothing special.
The Jiang family was on the verge of decline, and expanding on their existing industries wouldn’t make a significant impact. Therefore, Yan Huan speculated at that time that Ren Shuhan might be trying to take advantage of the situation.
Then, a model named Shi Xi suddenly became popular at this exhibition.
He’s really good-looking, Yan Huan thought. Someone this attractive would definitely become popular in the entertainment industry. Ren Shuhan couldn’t have overlooked this. I must sign him first and make him my money tree in the future.
However, when Shi Xi received the news about Yan Huan trying to poach him, he contacted Wen Xin again, only to be told, “Our plans change every day, and we are no longer planning to sign any more artists.”
Shi Xi: Why did you passionately ask me to stay yesterday, then?
You’re wasting my feelings!
“I don’t have high demands for treatment,” Shi Xi looked at the conditions Yan Huan had offered him and repeated them, “So this should work.”
Because I’m very laid-back.
However, Wen Xin laughed again, “The conditions you mentioned are already quite high from our company’s perspective. Even Chu Lu and Qu Chong, who are not even main leads, don’t have such treatment.”
The implication was that it’s even less likely for you.
Shi Xi was shocked: What?
You think I’m not worth as much as those two supporting roles?
“Because when we signed your two classmates, they already had some popularity and a certain fan base,” Wen Xin explained sincerely, “But you have fewer magazine covers than them. It’s not realistic to expect better treatment than them.”
Shi Xi indeed had less experience than those two supporting roles because before he transmigrated, the original host was a true laid-back person. Although he was the senior of Chu Lu and Qu Chong, he had not participated in as many shows as those two… But he looked good! Comparing him to the supporting roles was too insulting.
He gained thousands of fans with just one photo yesterday. This Wen Xin was really lacking vision, wasn’t she?
Shi Xi hung up the phone in anger.
He believed that as soon as Ren Shuhan found out about this, he would scold Wen Xin and fire her to apologize to him. Then he would come to the school in his luxury car three times, thanking him for joining the company.
At that time, wouldn’t Chu Lu look on in envy?
The classmates would also know who was doing the best. Shi Xi was just too disdainful to show off.
Then he waited and waited, waited for more than a month, but Ren Shuhan never came to find him.
Shi Xi was confused.
During this time, Chu Lu was very high-profile, flaunting his future life as a star every day. He wore big sunglasses everywhere, claiming it was his agent’s request for him to keep a low profile.
Shi Xi: …You’re calling that low-profile?
Seeing his classmates envy Chu Lu, Shi Xi felt very unbalanced. Every time his classmates mentioned Chu Lu, he would only say that Chu Lu got these opportunities by leveraging his relationship with his boyfriend.
However, society is very realistic, and university is a small society. His classmates were all about to graduate, looking towards money. Even if they knew about the complicated relationship between him and Jiang Qingyue, they still tried to get close to Chu Lu. This made Shi Xi so angry that he almost couldn’t maintain his laid-back persona.
Why isn’t Ren Shuhan coming quickly to help him face-slap…
Curses! The crematorium will need more wood.
Shi Xi thought that perhaps Ren Shuhan still didn’t know about this matter. He couldn’t just wait around, or he wouldn’t know how long he would have to endure this grievance. So, he came up with an idea.
He had Ren Shuhan’s private number, which was left over from when he and Jiang Qingyue shared contacts while they were dating. He sent a photo of himself from that day to this private number and followed up with a message:
“Sorry, someone asked me for this photo. I sent the wrong number just now, and I can’t retract it. Please ignore it; I’ve disturbed you.”
He figured that this time that dog of a man would definitely lose control. He would likely furrow his brows, anxiously throw things around, thinking: This seductive photo, if you don’t send it to me, who else are you planning to send it to? No one is allowed to see it!
Haha, Shi Xi revealed a mysterious smile.
What he didn’t expect was that Ren Shuhan truly acted as if he hadn’t seen it.
Another week passed like this, and Shi Xi suspected that Ren Shuhan had changed his number…
Full of doubts, he specifically got a new SIM card and made a call to Ren Shuhan’s number. Ren Shuhan picked up, and with just a simple “Hello,” Shi Xi could tell it was him.
The man had a very pleasant voice. Although Shi Xi didn’t like what he said, he couldn’t forget the voice. Now, he didn’t dare to listen directly and just hung up the phone.
Shi Xi fell into panic.
The timeline of the original work had been infinitely extended. He didn’t even have a reason to approach Ren Shuhan. He mentioned to Qu Chong several times that he wanted to fulfill his assistant duties, but Ren Shuhan’s company didn’t assign any work to Qu Chong. Clearly, Chu Lu was busy every day.
What should he do if the plot never progresses?
Shi Xi wanted to be a laid-back person, after all, having countless men attracted to him and having fans and resources pushing him to do things was annoying. But…
If he didn’t have those, would it be really okay to live a plain and ordinary life?
Shi Xi was scared. He thought about the more than half of the campus recruitment that had already passed, the empty resume, and the terrifyingly high rent in this city. All of these were things he couldn’t afford to face.
So, during this time, he was always absent-minded.
Classmates and roommates had shown concern for him, but he assured them that everything was fine. He even tried to test Qu Chong with a truthful remark, “I’m thinking of signing a contract to become a celebrity. What do you think?”
Qu Chong, in his usual acting style, responded, “Why are you suddenly thinking about going down this path?”
“Other companies pay too little,” Shi Xi counted two relatively good options, “Even less than what airlines pay their flight attendants.”
“Flight attendants get high salaries because it’s tiring work,” Qu Chong explained. “Considering our Asian faces, these salaries are pretty good. If you want to earn more, you could go to an airline…”
He hadn’t finished when Shi Xi got angry, “I’m not working in the service industry.”
Qu Chong, who had been patient with Shi Xi lately, had his patience running thin. He didn’t try to persuade him further, thinking, “Isn’t modeling a form of service? Who doesn’t serve who in this world? Shi Xi is being quite delicate now.”
After a while, Shi Xi said, “What if I go to Yan Huan’s company?”
Yan Huan had been persistently inviting him, sending flowers and inviting him for meals. Even his roommates knew about it.
Many classmates envied Shi Xi since Yan Huan was a genuine handsome CEO who personally invited him. However, every time they mentioned it, Shi Xi’s expression turned unpleasant. He couldn’t stand the thought of going to Yan Huan’s company, as it would mean lowering himself beneath Chu Lu.
“I suggest you don’t,” Qu Chong calmly analyzed for him. “I suspect Yan Huan has other intentions towards you. You know there are many unspoken rules in this industry…”
Before Qu Chong could finish, Shi Xi interrupted him unhappily, “He’s not that kind of person. I understand what you mean.”
“You’re aware of it, so decide for yourself.”
Qu Chong patted his shoulder and left it at that.
Actually, ever since Shi Xi became single, Qu Chong had thought about confessing to him. However, for some reason, this impulse had been suppressed recently. Seeing that Shi Xi seemed to have a fondness for Yan Huan, he dropped the idea, thinking, “Just let it be. If you’re happy, that’s enough.”
However, Shi Xi wasn’t happy.
He knew what kind of person Yan Huan was, possessive and potentially involved in illegal activities as an antagonist.
After careful consideration, Shi Xi realized one thing. Although he feared Yan Huan as an antagonist, he feared even more the prospect of a mediocre and busy life as an ordinary person.
He wanted to be a salted fish, but he wanted to be a popular and charming one. Despite being lazy, everyone should still love him.
So, in the end, he called Yan Huan, saying, “I agree.”
Then, something unexpected happened:
Yan Huan was now also afraid of him.
After a moment of silence on the phone, Yan Huan said, “…Wait a moment.”
Yan Huan covered the phone’s microphone, looking at Ren Shuhan beside him in horror, “F*ck! He agreed! Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Hurry, save me! How should I respond to him? I don’t want to turn into the antagonist!”
Ren Shuhan smirked, “Well, ask me nicely.”
Yan Huan, almost on the verge of tears, pleaded, “QAQ, please, I’m begging you, Uncle! If you can save me, I’ll call you daddy! I don’t want to turn evil!”
Ren Shuhan (disdainfully), “You can say whatever you want. Whether you agree or not, I’m not as spineless as my son.”
Jiang Qingyue, “…”
Today, Ren Shuhan predicted Shi Xi’s actions through the system and estimated that he would not resist going to Yan Huan. He came to Yan Huan’s place early to respect him, explained the entire situation, and even revealed the scheming Qu Chong.
Yan Huan was left dumbfounded: What kind of mysticism is this?
However, this was his own firsthand experience. He had to believe it; otherwise, how could he explain the recent madness of aggressively pursuing a relatively unknown male model?
Once Yan Huan entered Ren Shuhan’s shielding area, he took a second look and suddenly realized, “Shi Xi is good-looking, but how good-looking is he really? The entertainment industry is filled with attractive people; is his appearance unique? Even if I, as a CEO, have a high level of attractiveness in the industry, why should I lower myself for a model who ignores me?”
This realization struck Yan Huan like a bolt. He even thought about some weird rumors in the industry, such as curses and keeping supernatural beings…
Yan Huan: Holds himself while trembling.jpg
Having sailed smoothly for so many years, this was the first time Yan Huan felt emotionally fragile to this extent. When Ren Shuhan explained his future, Yan Huan immediately believed him.
“I don’t want to go in! I still have a company and billions in assets to inherit!” Yan Huan paced around his office, feeling the fear. Eventually, he held back the terror and spoke into the microphone, “Sorry, but my company currently has no plans to sign new talents, and we’re retracting the previous offer.”
Shi Xi: “…”
