Chapter 38 - The dream of a supermodel comes true

After Ning Fei got the first draft ranking, he announced it directly in the studio group the next day.

The entire studio was naturally excited. Su Cenxi even sent a voice message to Ning Fei, saying a lot of things like the days of hard work were finally over. His tone was so happy that he almost cried. Ning Fei was much calmer now and reminded him that he had to be more cautious before the ranking was officially released to prevent any unexpected events in these few short weeks.

Su Cenxi then calmed down a little, and barely suppressed her excitement, and continued to work as usual. Even when Gu Hechen suggested holding a banquet to celebrate, Su Cenxi refused. However, the reason he gave was "it's not convenient to let others know that I got the first draft of the MDC ranking in advance." Although Gu Hechen was puzzled as to what would happen if he knew it, the reason was still reasonable. So he agreed to move the celebration party to the day when the website officially updated the ranking.

Duan Yunhong also had the same doubts. He originally thought that if Ning Fei knew the ranking, he wouldn't have to work so hard. Unexpectedly, Ning Fei's work intensity has not dropped. He still goes out early and comes back late every day, working day and night. But he has become easy to make an appointment with. As long as Duan Yunhong is willing to wait, Ning Fei is willing to meet him after finishing work in the early morning. Then he got up early in the morning, hurried home to tidy up, and then rushed to work.

Finally one day when Ning Fei got up, Duan Yunhong, who woke up with him, couldn't help but said, "Why don't you leave some clothes here with me? Aren't you tired of running around like this all the time?"

Ning Fei was picking up clothes that were thrown away last night. When she heard this, she turned around and glanced at him: "Why, Mr. Duan wants to invite me to live with him?"

"I just saw you always making such a fuss so early in the morning, so I gave you a suggestion to save time." Duan Yunhong sat at the head of the bed and looked at him, "Asking you to move is an invitation to live together."

"Tsk." Ning Fei laughed and replied in a sarcastic tone, "Forget it. I tend to be noisy at home, and I'm also free and undisciplined, which makes me look bad. I'm afraid that Mr. Duan's fantasy will be shattered."

"I've seen everything about you, how can it be ruined?" Duan Yunhong saw that he didn't want to continue the topic, and changed the subject, "Why are you still working so hard? Didn't you win the bet as long as Su Cenxi entered the top ten? Why can't you breathe a sigh of relief?"

Ning Fei didn't explain to him why he "didn't want any changes", but just said: "I've already taken on so many jobs, you can't turn against me at the last minute, right?"

Duan Yunhong said: "I think you are not just after the bet, you can't let go of your job as a manager. If you don't let your artists always stand at the top, you think it's not your level."

Ning Fei laughed, with an expression that said "If you say so, then so be it."

Duan Yunhong added: "Since you really love this job, why don't you consider a bigger platform? Or, consider finding a partner for the studio?"

Ning Fei raised his eyebrows when he heard this old saying: "Boss Duan, do you really value talent or do you want to control me? You encouraged me to sleep with you more often, and then you want to be my boss."

"If you miss out on the best career choice for you just because you don't want to be managed by me, then you're putting the cart before the horse." Duan Yunhong replied calmly, "Also, I won't let personal relationships affect my requirements for my subordinates and partners."

"Really?" Ning Fei said happily, "Then it seems that Su Cenxi's guest position, the jewelry brand's business card, and the first draft of the MDC ranking were all given to me voluntarily by President Duan, and they were not instigated by me."

Duan Yunhong choked for a moment after being hit by the boomerang, and then said coldly: "Do you think I would open a backdoor and facilitate for anyone who climbs into my bed? Am I such a person?"

"I didn't say that. You said it, don't blame me." Ning Fei imitated another sentence that Duan Yunhong often said. He had already put on his clothes, then knelt on one knee beside the bed, leaned over and kissed Duan Yunhong: "But I won't casually explore how others got their jobs, don't worry. I know that people who come back from abroad value privacy, and I also know that with our relationship, it's not my turn to investigate who you want to give convenience to."

Duan Yunhong looked him in the eyes: "That's not what I meant."

"Haha, okay." Ning Fei said casually, "I'm leaving. Bye."

"Bye." Duan Yunhong replied subconsciously, and then added, "If..."

Ning Fei, who had just stood up, asked: "What if...?"

"Nothing, go ahead." Duan Yunhong replied, "MDC website will update the rankings in three days this year."

"Got it. I'll treat you to dinner that night. You choose the place, okay?" Ning Fei smiled, got off the bed and walked out while winking at Duan Yunhong, "I'm really leaving. See you in three days."

After saying this, Ning Fei walked out of the room without waiting for Duan Yunhong's response.

Duan Yunhong was left sitting on the bed. After a few seconds, he snorted.

——Tsk, you invite me to dinner and ask me to choose the place...

***

Three days later, it was the day when the MDC website announced the new year's supermodel rankings.

But this update seems to be irregular. Su Cenxi started refreshing the website at midnight, but the new ranking has not been updated. After he had scrolled through it dozens of times, around one o'clock, he finally couldn't help but call Ning Fei.

Ning Fei was very calm about this: "It's only midnight in China now, not in Continent U."

Su Cenxi finally reacted: "...That's right."

But if Su Cenxi hung up the phone now, he wouldn't be able to calm down. So he stood on the balcony on the third floor of the villa in the middle of the night and chatted with Ning Fei about other topics: "After the ranking comes out, if it is really the same as the first draft...what will you do?"

"What will happen?" Ning Fei laughed, leaning on the sofa and said lazily, "Of course, I will confirm that the original owner's last wish has been fulfilled, take my agency fee and the luck I lent you, and then leave. You can do whatever you want in the future, and no one will care if you quit your job and become a full-time boyfriend."

Su Cenxi knew that this day would come, but when the moment really came, he felt an indescribable sense of emptiness in his heart. So he continued to ask: "You're leaving? How did you leave? Resign?"

"Ha, that's not that troublesome. I will just disappear." Ning Fei said slowly, "I appeared in this world 'suddenly', and I will disappear 'suddenly' as well. When I leave, everyone's memory of me will be erased, except you. So as long as you keep this secret forever, people in this world will treat me as if I never existed."

"...Ah?" Su Cenxi was at a loss, "Then who would others think was the one who helped me become the TOP 10?"

"Others will think that your success is natural, and they may even make a little mistake and attribute the credit to Jessica, but no one will pursue it. Would you think about something you don't remember at all? No way." Ning Fei replied, "Your luck will be completely balanced and will no longer fluctuate. How you live your life from now on is up to you."

Su Cenxi was still confused: "So will you suddenly disappear from the face of the earth after the rankings are announced?"

"You sound so scary, do you think I can turn into a ghost?" Ning Fei smiled, "Let's put it this way, on the day the rankings are announced, everything will be normal. But the next day, I won't show up again, so just don't look for me."

Su Cenxi said: "Will you give me a signal? Like send me a goodbye text message or something..."

"Of course you can, but even if I send it, if you don't see it before I leave, then you will never see this message again. All traces of me in your life will be erased." Ning Fei said, "Why, are you still reluctant to leave me? Shouldn't you set off firecrackers to celebrate when I leave?"

"...I don't know. Maybe it's the feeling that my teammates who fought side by side with me are leaving." Su Cenxi sighed, "I can't talk about you with others in the future. It feels suffocating to keep such a big secret by myself."

"Enjoy your life and ignore a passerby." Ning Fei said leisurely, "Okay, go to sleep. Theoretically, I still have to accompany you for at least the last day of work and watch the official ranking with you. If you have any thoughts, we can talk about it during the day."

Su Cenxi was actually not sleepy yet, but he could hear the impatience in Ning Fei's words, so he said goodbye honestly and hung up the phone.

Ning Fei swiped his phone, looking at the contact list, his eyes focused on one name.

"It's the last night...how about having something bigger?"

***

During the morning, MDC still hadn't been updated. Su Cenxi was anxious, and Ning Fei said that the people of U Continent were probably not that hardworking and were still working in the middle of the night.

In the afternoon, during a break when Su Cenxi was shooting a commercial, Ning Fei handed him a tablet with a web page open.

Su Cenxi:! ! !

"It's announced...!" He snatched the tablet away, carefully read the introduction about himself for a few seconds, and swiped back and forth. Just like the original draft, Su Cenxi became one of the new TOP 10 male models, and he is on both the money-earning list and the popularity list. Among them, the popularity list was an unexpected surprise for Ning Fei, which should be brought up by K Xiaomei, the female model who ranked first on the popularity list.

Su Cenxi repeatedly confirmed his ranking, and just as he opened his mouth to say "I", he found that his voice was trembling.

"Congratulations, your debt has been paid off, and you are now debt-free. Our contract also ends here." Ning Fei pulled a tissue and handed it to him, "Be careful, don't smudge your makeup, we haven't finished shooting yet."

"...You are too calm!" Su Cenxi calmed down a lot and took a tissue to gently wipe the tears accumulated in her eyes. "But you must have achieved your goals many times. You are used to it, right? It should be normal for you to use any means to get people to the position you want, achieve your goals, and then move on to the next one."

"Normally, I'm pretty happy too, but there's no need to cry." Ning Fei leaned leisurely against the table, "However, I've met people who cried with joy after achieving their goals before, mainly because I finally stopped torturing him."

"You also know that you are a demon." Su Cenxi threw away the tissue, "Do you know what gradual progress means? If you increase the intensity right away, everyone will hate you."

"Hate you, don't you? I'm not here to please you." Ning Fei raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Just because you like me, will you risk your life for me? No way. You will only rely on your favor to find ways to make me show mercy to you."

Su Cenxi said: "Have you been treated like this? But that's not me, why do you say I would be treated like this?"

Ning Fei said: "You ran away when Gu Hechen instigated you to do so. Did you lose your memory?"

"..." Su Cenxi was choked for several seconds before replying, "You're about to leave, do you have to confront me at the end?"

"You also know that I'm leaving, so you can say whatever you want to say." Ning Fei said happily, "Okay, get ready to go on stage, focus on it, and stop thinking about arguing."

"Then why are you still so dedicated..." Su Cenxi stood up, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Are you still here tonight? I'll treat you to a farewell dinner?"

"Ha, you want to send me off?" Ning Fei smiled, "Thanks for the invitation, but I won't go. I have an appointment."

"...Ah?" Su Cenxi was at a loss, "Who is it that would invite you tonight?"

Ning Fei: "Friend."

Su Cenxi: “Huh?!”

He was so shocked that his mouth opened wide, and then with this silly look on his face, he was pushed back to the filming location by Ning Fei.
