Chapter 063 – This miserable rich second generation – “I didn’t force you.” (04/10)
“So, Gu Liu…”
Seeing that Xie Chenyang was about to approach, Gu Liu hurriedly stood up. “I’ll sign it.”
Gu Liu took a deep breath. “I hope… Brother Chen can do what he said in the contract.”
Xie Chenyang regretted it a little. “How about you don’t sign it?”
Gu Liu clenched the contract tightly and took a slight step back. “I’ll sign it.”
Xie Chenyang: “Then sign it.”
Gu Liu said softly, “Excuse me, do you have a pen?”
Xie Chenyang spread his legs slightly and leaned back. “It’s in my pocket, can’t you see it?”
Gu Liu looked at the pen clipped to his shirt pocket.
He saw it, but…
He said gently, “Could you pass it to me?”
Xie Chenyang curled his lips. “Get it yourself.”
Gu Liu stared at him.
Xie Chenyang’s warm eyes revealed a hint of inexplicable excitement, as if he hoped that Gu Liu wouldn’t dare to go over, so that he could take the opportunity to do something.
Gu Liu lowered his eyes and walked in front of him, keeping a slight distance. He bent down to take the pen from Xie Chenyang’s pocket.
Xie Chenyang grabbed his arm and pulled him into his embrace.
Gu Liu fell on him, his expression changing. “Brother Chen, the contract said you wouldn’t force me to do anything I didn’t want to do.”
“Mm,” Xie Chenyang replied, wrapping his arms around his waist and squeezing it with one hand. “Your waist is very thin, but your muscles are well-toned and strong.”
Gu Liu stiffened. Xie Chenyang pulled him into his arms and rested his head intimately on his shoulder.
Gu Liu’s body trembled slightly as he resisted the urge to push him away and reminded him, “The contract said…”
“I know, I know, I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to do.” Xie Chenyang loosened his grip slightly, tilted his head back, covered Gu Liu’s mouth with one hand, and gazed at him tenderly. “Gu Liu, will you let me kiss you? No answer means yes.”
Xie Chenyang let go of him and leaned in to kiss him.
In the next moment, Gu Liu pushed him away, and with one hand on his chest, leveraged his strength to stand., He grabbed Xie Chenyang’s hand and yanked him off the sofa, throwing him over his shoulder.
The move was done in one fluid motion.
Xie Chenyang grunted and laid on the floor in disbelief.
He’d been completely caught off guard by Gu Liu and didn’t even have time to react before he was thrown to the floor.
Gu Liu: “…” It’s over.
Xie Chenyang was stunned for a long time and didn’t get up.
Gu Liu picked up the crumpled contract and placed it on the table, having lost all hope of continuing in the entertainment industry.
After all, with this move, he had really offended the young master.
Seeing that Xie Chenyang didn’t get up for a long time, Gu Liu hesitated before approaching him. “Young Master, do you want me to help you up?”
Gu Liu pulled him up.
Xie Chenyang chuckled, then pressed Gu Liu down on the sofa. “Alright, Gu Liu, you dare to hit me.”
Gu Liu tried to push back, but found himself pinned down, unable to move an inch.
“You hit me first. I was just defending myself.”
Hearing the subtle anger in Xie Chenyang’s tone, Gu Liu closed his eyes. That was careless.
He never expected this precious-looking young master to be so strong.
He had trained since childhood; though his proficiency was unstructured, his combat prowess was still quite formidable.
But now he was being pinned down by a rich second-generation kid and couldn’t move. This was very humiliating.
Forget it, let him hit me a few times, then I’ll clean up and go back home.
Xie Chenyang stared at the man who had his eyes closed and looked as if he was prepared to die. He laughed angrily. “I’m retaliating.”
Gu Liu’s lips were tightly pursed. “Go ahead and hit me.”
Xie Chenyang lowered his head and gently kissed the corner of his lips.
Gu Liu suddenly opened his eyes. “You…”
Xie Chenyang stood up, took the pen from his pocket, and handed it to him. “I understand, I understand. I won’t force you to do something you don’t want to do, but you just hit me, so it’s not too much for me to kiss you, right?”
Gu Liu’s lips trembled. For a moment, he didn’t know how to react.
Xie Chenyang waved the pen in his hand and licked his lips. “Are you still going to sign?”
Gu Liu was silent for a moment, then picked up the pen and signed the contract.
The two signed and sealed it.
Xie Chenyang wiped his fingers and said gently, “It’s already noon, why don’t we–”
Gu Liu said indifferently, “I’ve already eaten, so I’ll be going.” He picked up the contract and walked toward the door without looking back.
Xie Chenyang frowned and sat back down on the sofa, resting his head in his hands.
[Dad, I’m sad.]
You Huang: “Did he hit you that hard?”
Xie Chenyang took out a cigarette and lit it, feeling a little anxious. [He resisted me and even hit me.]
“He has no memory, so don’t rush things.”
Xie Chenyang took a drag from his cigarette, feeling wounded. [He’s changed. He wasn’t like this before.]
“Perhaps Gu Liu is more consumed in this world, so he’s been more deeply affected,” You Huang said softly. “Take it slow. He’s been willing to follow you through so many worlds, so he must love you deeply and won’t change easily.”
[I don’t want to listen. I’m hurt.]
[I was abused by my partner. I’m so sad.]
[I need my dad to take off his mask before I’ll be okay.]
“Fuck off.”
Xie Chenyang finished his cigarette with a grin and left the office.
He arrived at the executive secretary’s office.
Zhou Shasha looked up and saw him. He smiled. “I’ve already arranged for someone to go to his former company to terminate his contract. They’ll come over to sign the contract this afternoon. Gu Liu’s agent will be with him.”
Xie Chenyang’s eyes lit up. “What time this afternoon?”
“They’ll come over after they finish terminating the contract.”
“Have you arranged a place for Gu Liu to stay?”
“There are still quite a few vacant apartments for artists… Does Young Master Jiang want other preparations made?”
Xie Chenyang calmly gave a list of addresses. “Let him pick one of these.”
Zhou Shasha: “…” Don’t scare me! Aren’t those your residences?!
Xie Chenyang: “Second Uncle, please arrange a position for me.”
Second Uncle Jiang: “Go ahead.”
“Assistant.”
“You want to be my assistant?”
Xie Chenyang: “Of course not. Naturally, I want to be Gu Liu’s assistant, the kind that’s with him 24 hours a day.”
Second Uncle Jiang: “…”
His expression became serious. “Xiao Chen, whether you like Gu Liu or you’re just chasing stars, you can’t be so reckless. Just work obediently at the company.”
“I want to be his assistant.” Xie Chenyang smiled. “Second Uncle, don’t worry. I will do my job well, take good care of him, and make him our company’s cash cow. Becoming a movie star will be a piece of cake. You won’t lose anything.”
“Jiang Xincheng!”
“Second Uncle.” Xie Chenyang lowered his voice. “I’m serious. Please, Second Uncle.”
Jiang Er’s forehead veins throbbed. “You’ve never begged anyone since you were a child, and now you’re begging for a little celebrity…”
“He’s not a little celebrity, he’s the future movie legend.”
“If you insist on doing this, then I’ll ban him.”
Xie Chenyang paused. “Then let’s do this. I won’t be his assistant anymore. I’ll be the head of the scriptwriting department.”
Second Uncle Jiang: “?”
“Is that unacceptable? I have a keen eye.”
In the afternoon, Gu Liu followed Jiang Na to help Yun Entertainment sign an artist contract and an agent contract.
“Jiang Na has her own place to stay, so the company doesn’t need to arrange anything, right?”
“Yes.”
“Gu Liu’s accommodation has already been arranged. It’s very secure, so there’s no need to worry. Your car, driver, and assistant have all been arranged as well.”
“This is Liu Ming, who will be your dedicated driver, and this is Chen Yongquan, your assistant.”
The two young men waiting nearby greeted Gu Liu and Jiang Na.
Liu Ming: “Mr. Gu, are we moving now?”
Jiang Na: “Do you need help?”
Gu Liu shook his head. “No, I don’t have much stuff. The two of them can handle it.”
“Alright, you go ahead and move. I’ll go to the agency department to check things out.”
The four of them exchanged phone numbers. Liu Ming and Chen Yongquan followed Gu Liu to move to his new place.
Gu Liu looked at the Mercedes-Benz SUV assigned to him and frowned. “Are all the company’s artists assigned this kind of car?”
“Of course not.” Liu Ming opened the car door for him and smiled awkwardly. “The company must have favoured you, that’s why they gave you such a nice car. I used to drive a car for a newcomer, and that was just an ordinary one. I’ve never driven this one before…”
Gu Liu understood. This must be the work of his golden sponsor.
“Brother Gu, shall we get in the car?”
This car was too flashy. He had to change it.
Never mind today. Let’s move first.
Xie Chenyang hung around the scriptwriting department in the afternoon, got to know everyone, and then returned to the villa.
He calculated the approximate time Gu Liu would arrive and asked the housekeeper to buy ingredients to prepare a sumptuous dinner to welcome him.
When Gu Liu arrived outside the villa, it was already dusk.
He watched the car drive into the villa and felt a sense of foreboding rise in his heart. “Is this where I’m staying?”
“Yes.” Liu Ming nodded. “This is the address I was given.”
Liu Ming parked the car and looked enviously at the spacious villa. “The people who live around here must be very powerful or promising celebrities.”
Gu Liu: “…” He didn’t think so.
Soon, a familiar face appeared before them.
Chen Yongquan paused. “Mr. Jiang.”
He’d only been at Fuyun Entertainment for a short time, but he had done his homework and knew that Jiang Xincheng was the major shareholder of the company and the president’s nephew.
Xie Chenyang nodded. “Move your things inside.”
With someone else present, Gu Liu didn’t say anything, but his expression turned cold.
After Chen Yongquan carried Gu Liu’s luggage inside and they were far away from them, Gu Liu said, “I’m not staying here. Prepare a normal artist apartment for me.”
Xie Chenyang said, “You’ll stay here.”
Gu Liu said, “The contract says–”
“I know, I won’t force you.“ Xie Chenyang stood in front of him and looked him in the eye. “Your room is several rooms away from mine. I won’t climb into your bed in the middle of the night. I just want to be closer to you, okay?“
“I really like you.” Xie Chenyang’s eyes were full of affection. “I know you like acting. Whatever drama you want to act in next, just go for it. You choose the script, choose whatever you like.”
Gu Liu saw the deep affection in his eyes and looked away slightly. ”While we are in a monetarily-based support relationship, the contract says that everything is based on my wishes.”
Gu Liu didn’t know why Xie Chenyang liked him.
Maybe it was his face, or maybe it was his acting.
His methods of approach were relatively gentle, and even the contract terms were all in his favor.
But no matter how much he liked him, the person in front of him had chosen to be his sponsor.
After all, he was a rich young master. If he couldn’t be with him, would he fall in love with him genuinely?
“I wrote the terms myself, of course I know.” Xie Chenyang began to get irritated. “How about we just void the contract and be together normally? This is not romantic at all.”
He knew he would refuse him, refuse him!
Gu Liu: “… No.”
If it’s being kept, then it’s being kept. What’s normal together?
Right now, the contract was in his favor. If they were together normally, then he would have to…
“Are you staying?” Xie Chenyang narrowed his eyes slightly. They were originally charming, but now took on a hint of malice.
Gu Liu looked around and remembered Xie Chenyang’s unimaginable power. He felt wronged and said, “…I’ll stay.”
Xie Chenyang’s face lit up instantly. “You agreed to this. I didn’t force you.”
“…Mm.”
Gu Liu was a little worried. Should he quit the entertainment industry? He could stay away for a while and wait for this young master to take a liking to another celebrity, then return.
