American winner takes all

Chapter 246 Meeting the mortal enemy again (12)

Ethan and Hugh Hefner chatted for a long time that night. As for Hugh Hefner's eldest daughter, Christina, she came over to take a look from time to time. She seemed to be curious about what Ethan, a young man, was talking about with his father.

Ethan and Hugh Hefner finally reached a consensus. In short, Lisa will sign agency contracts with Playboy girls in the future and undertake the commercial activities of these girls. In return, PB Company will also receive part of the commission as remuneration.

Individually, Carmen Electra gained attention last year with a video and then became the host of MTV's Loveline.Last year, Carmen replaced Jenny McCaughey in the MTV series "Singled Out," and her contract stipulated that she would play at least 65 episodes.Carmen later replaced Pamela Anderson in "Baywatch" and became the spokesperson for Budweiser beer.

The total annual income adds up to almost one million U.S. dollars. The contract commission can help Lisa earn up to [-]. It does not seem like much, but it cannot support the large number of people. Girls like Carmen are still active in the Playboy system. There are almost dozens of girls. They become famous through magazines, and their annual income ranges from tens to millions of dollars.

Moreover, there are new people appearing in every issue of the magazine. Over the past few years, the number has been quite large.

As for the specific income generated and the details of the agency, Ethan neither understands nor looks down on the money. From now on, Lisa will be responsible.

After leaving Hefner's castle, Ethan called Lisa.

Lisa happily accepted this business. She might have looked down upon the money before, but that was no longer the case now.

"You need Hugh Hefner's eldest daughter, Christina, to talk about the specific details."

"No problem, but I have a question..." Lisa was curious about how Ethan got involved with Hugh Hefner.

"The magazine had interviewed me before and I accepted Hugh Hefner's invitation to attend his party in Los Angeles and that's why."

"Understood." Lisa said meaningfully.

Considering that Ethan's preferences are highly consistent with Hugh Hefner's, the relationship difference is puzzling.

"But I must remind you that getting too close to him will not do you any good, and will bring a lot of negative effects to you." Lisa then warned.

"Of course, that's all. I won't have anything to do with him in the future." Ethan responded immediately.

Regarding those suggestions for transformation, Ethan only mentioned them casually and talked freely.He doesn't understand anything about how entertainment companies operate.

·
A week later, Alabama, Tuscaloosa suburban house, ΔΚΕ fraternity party scene.

In the extravagant and low-pitched dance club-specific BGM that makes people imagine, Carmen Electra walked down on tiptoes, came to Ethan, then turned around, with the low rhythm, brushed her hands over herself, and swayed her body... …

A group of descendants of young wealthy people, including Ryan, looked at all this with smiles. The project itself did not arouse the interest of these people, but Carmen's identity made these people extremely excited.

This is a big star who came to Hollywood from Los Angeles. With the blessing of star halo, the appearance fee of tens of thousands of dollars is not that expensive.

In addition to Carmen, several past Playmates of the Month include Jillian Bonner, Shauna Sand, Karyn Taylor, Jessica Lee, Jennifer Allen and more.

The appearance fee can be high or low. These little models can get tens of thousands of dollars for their Crazy Horse show, which makes them laugh out of their dreams.

And Ethan will undoubtedly become the center of this group of people. Whenever there is a gathering in the future, they will think of Ethan immediately.

This is how friendships are built. Rich interpersonal relationships can always provide help when you need it most.

After drinking for thirty years, Ethan took two blondes who couldn't even name them to other rooms.

This time there was an extra small umbrella.

After the incident, the two of them took the initiative to hand over part of their reward to Ethan.

"Thank you for bringing us here. From now on, whenever you ask us, we will arrive as soon as possible." One of them said.

Ethan shook his head. This little money only added up to tens of thousands of dollars.

There is no need to lose your identity for this small profit, they can generate much more income in Lisa than this.

Ethan, who was lying down, raised his hand and stroked their hair.

"As long as you obey me from now on, it will be very easy to make money. Do you understand?"

"Yes, sir." The two of them knelt down next to Ethan.

The rest didn't need much teaching from Ethan, so the two of them just bowed their heads.

·
"This round of media interviews is almost over, and it's time for me to go back." Susan said to Ethan.

"Oh, okay." Ethan nodded.

"When is the plane?"

"Tomorrow." Susan said.

"So soon? If you don't stay for a few more days, I want to take you around Alabama." Ethan said.

Susan laughed and said, "Lisa has been very busy these two days. She asked me to go back immediately and take charge of the girls under the magazine."

The negotiation between Lisa and Christina went very smoothly, and it can be said that the two parties hit it off.

"I have to ask Lisa to give you a salary increase when I get back." Ethan said.

Susan has always been dedicated to her work. During this time, she was by her side, and her media contact work was also arranged in an orderly manner.From docking, arranging time, reviewing interview outlines, to specific travel arrangements, from booking air tickets to how to answer certain sensitive questions, Susan handled it all by herself, which made Ethan very worry-free.

Susan smiled and shook her head: "Lisa's current business situation is not ideal, let's talk about it later."

Rather than being Lisa's subordinate, she is Lisa's friend and comrade-in-arms.

Of course Ethan will remember her kindness, and of course he will repay her in the future.

Susan thought for a while, then stood up: "I have to pack my bags."

"Well, I'll take you to the airport early tomorrow morning." Ethan stood up and finally chose to leave.

"Okay. You go to bed early tonight."

"You too."

Susan gave Ethan a final wave and closed the door.

"What? He left just like that, didn't you let him stay? How did you do it?" Lisa on the phone subconsciously asked after hearing Ethan leave.

"I...how dare I say that." Susan fiddled with the buttons of her shirt cuffs and said with a distressed expression.

"Forget it, I'll tell Ethan personally that I'll let him come back."

"No, please don't, forget it, Lisa." Susan shook her head.

"This is not your first time with Ethan. I don't know what you are hesitating about."

"Maybe, Ethan has also forgotten about me, I'm just a substitute." Susan whispered.

"There's really nothing I can do about you." Lisa hung up the phone.

After a while, Susan heard a knock on the door.

"Who's outside?"

"It's me." Ethan's voice.

Why is Lisa like this!Susan suddenly became a little nervous.

Finally I went to open the door.

"Everything Lisa said is false. She wants to bring us together. In short, no matter what you hear, don't believe it." Susan looked at Ethan and blurted out in desperation.

But he found that Ethan frowned slightly, with a confused expression.

"I just came back to get my phone. What did you two just say?" Ethan asked with a smile.

"Ah, it's nothing, I didn't say anything." Susan's face turned red, then she turned around and took out the cell phone that Ethan had left on the table.

Ethan took the phone and did not leave. He pondered for a moment and said:
"Susan, we may be a little special. The past has passed. Now I ask you, how do you feel about me if Lisa is not there?"

"I... how can I feel anything? Without Lisa, we wouldn't have known each other." Susan avoided subconsciously.

“But we’ve known each other and been together for a long time.”

"I..." Susan hesitated.

Ethan had entered the room again and closed the door.

Susan's mouth was blocked by Ethan before she could say her refusal.

"Well..." The brief struggle soon turned into catering, and she hugged Ethan.

Jackets, shirts, skirts, high heels.

The two people's clothes were stripped off one by one...

That night, Susan still talked to Ethan.

"I love you, Ethan, but the more this happens, the less I want to be Lisa's vassal. I don't want you to do this to me just for Lisa's sake." Susan finally said what was in her heart. .

"If that's what you feel in your heart, then we'd better end it." She mustered up the courage to say.

"So we can't end it. Of course Lisa hinted at me, but I didn't listen to her words. I was just afraid that you wouldn't accept it."

"What's not acceptable?"

"No one else is accepted. Lisa, Katherine..."

Susan laughed: "As long as your body can support it, I have no problem with it."

"Body?"

"Hmm, I'm afraid you won't be able to do what you want in a few years, and you're still an athlete, so you have to be self-disciplined, but you're just too undisciplined."

Hearing Susan say this, Ethan finally felt relieved.

"Susan, is it possible that what you see as lack of self-discipline is exactly my self-discipline?"

"Huh?" Susan didn't understand.

Ethan continued: "No matter what, I will be more self-disciplined in the future."

Tonight, exercise until dawn.

·
"In the future, do that less often."

Early the next morning, at the local airport in Alabama, Susan still did not forget to warn her before leaving.

Her steps were a little weird, her tone was complaining, and her eyes were filled with fear.

"Well, I will be self-disciplined." Ethan still said.

Susan still didn't understand what Ethan said last night, so she just thought it was Ethan's promise, and she nodded.

"Lisa doesn't know you came back last night, so don't tell her." Susan suggested. She wanted to maintain her independence from Lisa.

Isn't that equivalent to stealing someone?

Looking at Susan's hopeful eyes, Ethan could only agree.

·
After sending Susan away, Ethan once again returned to his peaceful and leisurely college days.

Putting aside the ridiculous parties in the fraternity, Ethan on campus is regarded by those around him as a true model of self-discipline.

She never hangs out with her teammates, and her relationship with her girlfriend, who is also the captain of the Crimsonettes, is very stable.

As for McKenna herself, as Ethan's campus girlfriend, she has long discovered that Ethan is different from others.

For example, I often don’t answer my phone calls, especially at night.

Occasionally he would disappear, completely missing for a few days, and each time his answer would be a simple "busy at work".

McKenna knew that this might be the price of being with a Mormon.As for who is around Ethan, how many are there, and whether the other party knows about his existence.

McKenna never asked.

She was afraid, she was afraid that the answer would be unacceptable to her.

So she chose to avoid this problem.

The night Susan returned to Los Angeles, Ethan and McKenna showed up at the mall next to the Alabama campus.

"This one looks good, and this one isn't bad either. Why don't we get both." Ethan looked at McKenna who was trying on clothes.

McKenna glanced at the sign and then shook her head.

"It's too expensive."

With the local consumption level in Alabama, Ethan is now able to ignore most prices.

He also gave McKenna a car, which cost $[-].

"Your boyfriend is so kind to you." The clerk also said with a smile.

McKenna nodded, she was also well aware of Ethan's favor for her.

With Ethan's current reputation and talent, the only ones who can match him are those young female models and young Hollywood female stars.In comparison, he was just a country boy from Alabama who had studied dance and had never even been to a concert.

At ten in the morning, Ethan's car parked in front of McKenna's house.

McKenna did not get out of the car immediately, but came over to ask for a hug.

"Ethan, I miss you so much. My parents and sister went to Birmingham to participate in a dance competition. There is no one at home tonight. Don't leave." McKenna begged.

Ethan and McKenna have been to hotels many times, but never at McKenna's home.

The little girl begged so, and of course Ethan would not refuse.

The two brought in a bunch of things they had bought before, and McKenna took Ethan to her room.

She lived with her sister in a room with wooden beds on two levels.

"Let's stay on the upper floor tonight. I'll take a shower first." McKenna said with a smile.

"The place is too small, why not stay in your parents' bedroom?" Ethan suggested.

"You're so mean." McKenna patted Ethan and then pulled Ethan to her parents' bedroom.

The adults were not at home, so McKenna decided to indulge. The two of them went to take a shower and then lay on their parents' bed.

"The first time I lay here. I remember when I was a child, I saw the two of them through the door of this room. I thought they were fighting. Later I realized what it meant." McKenna looked at the ceiling and sneered. .

Ethan grabbed McKenna's hand and listened quietly to her telling stories about his childhood.

Although Ethan lives a very "self-disciplined" life, he also knows very well which women can stay with him and which ones are just for fun.

For example, Lisa, at first he just held the idea that "Rice can't live without his father", but it was only later that he felt Lisa's attitude that he developed to this day.

Another example is Penny, who has been in love with him for a long time.

McKenna is different from them. She is closer to Catherine and Gisele Bundchen. When staying with them, Ethan is relaxed.

Now the women around Ethan are divided into two groups, one is more emotional, and the other is more physical.

At this time, Ethan saw McKenna turn her head: "Ethan, can you tell me your story? I just realized now that I don't know you very well."

Just as Ethan was thinking about how to speak, the cell phone placed on the cabinet rang.

Ethan habitually took it over and took a look.

It's Gisele Bundchen.

If she called herself so late, nothing would happen, right?
If it had been anyone else, Ethan wouldn't have picked it up, but Gilsey was different.

Seeing Ethan's hesitation, McKenna nodded: "It's okay, just take it, I'll go..."

She stood up and started to get dressed.

"I'm going to prepare some midnight snacks for you."

But Ethan grabbed her and answered the phone.

"Ethan, I'm so excited that I can't sleep."

It's not a big event, but a happy event.Gisele received immediate attention after taking the photos, and currently four luxury brands have offered her an olive branch and want to sign employment contracts with her.

This represents the first step in Giselle's career, which is of extraordinary value to her.

In addition to Ethan's comfort and congratulations, the two chatted a lot. Before hanging up the phone, Gisele kissed Ethan on the phone.

The room was very quiet, and McKenna, who was lying next to Ethan, heard the entire conversation between the two.

"She turns out to be a model, that's great." McKenna said calmly.

As if the unresolved matter had finally come to an end, McKenna suddenly felt a strange sense of relief.

"I'll introduce you two later?" Ethan asked.

"Okay." McKenna nodded and did not refuse, but her expression could not be called happy.

McKenna, like many times before, indulged in Ethan's love.

Then, McKenna's eyes became moist and tears began to fall.

"Sorry." Ethan stroked her.

"There's no need to be sorry to me. It's enough for you to be nice to me. I just feel like I'm not worthy of you and can't get better." McKenna sobbed.

"You're good enough."

"Thank you for comforting me, Ethan."

"I'm not trying to comfort you. In fact, you are unique to me."

McKenna's role for Ethan is really irreplaceable, especially for what Ethan will do in the future.

·
The next morning, while McKenna and Ethan were still sleeping, the door to their home suddenly opened.

It's McKenna's parents and her sister.

"Don't worry, there will be another chance next year." Jeff, director of the Alabama Medical Center, said to his youngest daughter.

She was eliminated yesterday, so the three of them came back early.

McKenna's mother noticed the large and small packages on the sofa in the living room and glanced at her husband.

"McKenna?" Mother called out, but there was no response.

"Maybe still sleeping, maybe not home at all." Jeff shrugged.

Who else can buy these things?Of course it's that brat.

McKenna's mother also nodded.

McKenna has never told her parents about anything else about Ethan, so in the eyes of these parents, her impression of Ethan is pretty good.

The mother then went upstairs, and a few seconds later, there was a sound.

"Jeff, you have to come up here and take a look, now."

Jeff went upstairs and saw his wife standing in front of the bedroom. He walked over and poked his head in.

He found that his daughter was cuddling with Ethan. All the accessories hanging around her neck and on her wrists were the jewelry bought by Ethan.

I don't care what happens to you two. What does it mean to be in your parents' room?
A vein popped out on Jeff's forehead. He took a few deep breaths and managed to control it.

He chose to close the door hard.

·
"Jeff."

Half an hour later, Ethan walked downstairs and greeted his father-in-law.

Ethan was followed by McKenna, who lowered her head as if she had done something wrong.

The father-in-law did not respond and ignored Ethan.

Then Ethan was pushed out of the house by McKenna.

"I'll take care of it. See you at school the day after tomorrow." McKenna whispered as she closed the door.

·
In the Crimsonettes' training room on Monday, McKenna talked about what happened at home after Ethan left.

"My father was furious, and my mother was also very angry. They said that they can't spend the night with you before you propose." McKenna shook her head and sighed.

Ethan had known before that as a traditional Alabama family, McKenna had a strict upbringing, and he could actually count on two hands the number of times he had taken her to stay overnight.

When Ethan heard this, he naturally understood the intention of McKenna's parents and locked himself up early to confirm the important matter between the two of them.

"I have no objection. How about proposing at the cheerleading competition this week?" Ethan suggested with a smile.It’s not like I haven’t asked for it.

"It's too, too, too early." McKenna stood up.

"Proposal? Ethan is proposing!" McKenna's teammates heard Ethan's words and immediately shouted.

"real or fake!"

"Proposal!"

Immediately the dance room became lively.

A group of young team members immediately came over and surrounded Ethan and McKenna.

"What are you thinking about? Go back, the game is about to start." McKenna shouted.

As the captain, she also supervises daily training.

The competition a few days later is an event in the NCAA cheerleading competition, cheerleading.

This time it faced its archrival Auburn University. In order to ensure victory, Alabama directly resorted to a trick and let the Crimsonettes participate in the game instead of the cheerleading team.

This isn't technically cheating, the Crimsonettes are considered part of the cheerleading squad.

Under McKenna's scolding, the situation was finally maintained.

But on campus, the news spread like a storm. Many people knew that the school's star player was going to propose to the Crimsonettes captain.

Ethan was very calm, after all, he would get this step sooner or later.

McKenna was particularly nervous.

Three days later, Ethan followed the Crimsonettes to Auburn University. The game will be held at the Auburn University Gymnastics Stadium.

Not to mention Alabama, even people from rival Auburn University got wind of the news.The last time Ethan appeared on the campus of Auburn University, Auburn University was embarrassed. This time many people wanted to teach Ethan a lesson.

However, Ethan did not show up as a spectator until the game officially started. As the Auburn University players took the field first, Ethan immediately felt that this cheerleading competition was unusual...

　Tomorrow's chapter will start the new season.
