Chapter 12 - Work and Fun
Ning Fei was really glad that he had predicted it correctly and did not put the phone directly to his ear.
After Gu Hechen stopped talking, Ning Fei brought the phone closer and said leisurely, "Boss Gu, Su Cenxi kept asking me what happened, so I sent him a photo of me saying 'what happened', what's the problem?"
After a pause, he looked at the black car downstairs and continued, "Or do you want me to tell him directly that the root cause of all this is his boyfriend? Or should I be more law-abiding and send these photos to the police and tell them that someone is practicing feudal superstition and attacked me?"
"Ning Fei, do you think I don't know the truth? You just make up stories?" Gu Hechen lowered his voice, obviously avoiding Su Cenxi and making a phone call, "The wound on your hand was clearly caused by you. You also beat someone into the hospital and destroyed other people's important belongings, and you still have the nerve to say that someone else attacked you!"
Ning Fei: "Oh, then call the police."
Gu Hechen: “…”
"Don't pretend, Mr. Gu. If you could call the police to discredit me, you would have called the police long ago. I haven't received a single call from the police in all these days. Doesn't that mean you don't dare to call the police at all, and that charlatan doesn't dare to call the police either? Ah, it's not that you didn't let him call the police? Are you afraid of being implicated?" Ning Fei sneered, "If I tell the reporters that the great Gu Hechen actually thought that her boyfriend's agent was possessed by evil spirits and hired a charlatan to perform a ritual, which eventually resulted in the agent being injured...will it have some impact on Gu's stock price?"
As soon as he mentioned Gu's, Gu Hechen felt as if his tail was stepped on, and his tone suddenly became colder: "You don't think that you, a small agent, can shake up Gu's?"
"Who knows?" Ning Fei flicked the ash off his mint cigarette and took another puff. "However, although I don't have the ability to steal bid documents, it is still very easy to poison the koi in the pool in front of the Gu building. Since Mr. Gu thinks I'm some evil monster, then I really want to give you a try on this kind of 'business war'?"
"Stop talking nonsense, Ning Fei. Don't you just want to use Cen Xi to get resources from me? You are a nobody with no industry experience. If Cen Xi hadn't specifically asked for you, Chenxi Studio wouldn't have hired you as an agent." Gu Hechen said coldly, "I gave you some resources in exchange for Cen Xi's sake. But what did you do? Not only are you ungrateful, you also tried to threaten and control us. I think you are just refusing to accept my offer!"
"Threat and control?" Ning Fei put out his cigarette in the ashtray and said slowly, "You are a big boss and you are convicting people with empty words. Is this how you act in Gu's company? Forget it, I am too lazy to argue with you. Otherwise, you will say that I am guilty of talking back to you, and I will laugh to death. I will hang up if you have nothing to do on this call. It's really unlucky."
"You've been missing for so many days without reason, and you still have this attitude now. You are no longer qualified to talk about Cen Xi's career." Gu Hechen suppressed his anger and announced coldly, "I am now officially notifying you: you are fired! Go to complete the handover procedures tomorrow, and you can be given N+3. The studio will issue a notice saying that you resigned voluntarily, and finally give you some dignity, so that everyone can part ways in peace. If you are not stupid, you will know what to say and what not to say after you get out. You are alone, don't forget that even in a society ruled by law, there are still many ways to deal with you."
"This is a blatant threat, Mr. Gu." Ning Fei sneered, "Is this your decision alone, or did Su Cenxi agree to it?"
"I'm doing this for his own good, why doesn't he agree?" Gu Hechen's classic bossy speech came again, "To tell you the truth, Cen Xi originally wanted you to take care of him with someone else, but since you haven't shown up for so long, I guess you don't care much about this opportunity. In that case, let's give the opportunity to someone else."
He said this to make Ning Fei regret it. But Ning Fei didn't care about the work. What he cared about was: "Oh? So, without me, Su Cenxi can also be in the top 10?"
"Who do you think you are?" Gu Hechen really fell for the provocation. "Without you, Cen Xi can certainly succeed, and even be more successful!"
Ning Fei looked at Duan Yunhong's car downstairs: "But recently, Su Cenxi seems to have lost a lot of work."
"It's all because you suddenly disappeared! How dare you say that?"
"It's all my fault? Is it my fault that Su Cenxi didn't look good in the interview? Is it my fault that he can't compare to the supermodels of ST?" Ning Fei tapped the fence with his finger. "Mr. Gu, just now you said it didn't matter whether I was there or not, but now you're blaming me again. Have you been so busy lately that you've started to forget things?"
Gu Hechen said in a sinister tone: "Ning Fei, do you really think I dare not touch you?"
"Boss Gu, how could you forget again? You've already made a move on me. Do you think it's fun to lie to me about my fate?" Ning Fei said, "Not only will I not resign, I also want you to compensate me for my medical expenses, lost wages, and mental damages. If you don't agree..."
Before I could finish my words, the person on the other end hung up the phone.
Ning Fei looked at the phone interface and raised an eyebrow. There is no doubt that Gu Hechen's defense must have been broken, and now who knows what he might be doing and he would be furious in front of Su Cenxi. It is even possible that Su Cenxi's phone would be smashed directly.
But Ning Fei was very calm. His only regret was that he didn't finish the irritating lines. The mobile page showed that Duan Yunhong was still online. Ning Fei was a little surprised, but still clicked on the return call and answered: "Hello? Mr. Duan hasn't hung up yet?"
Duan Yunhong's voice was calmer than Ning Fei's: "I didn't finish what I said just now."
Ning Fei now felt that Duan Yunhong was really amazing, and couldn't help but curl his lips: "Oh, what else do you want to say?"
Duan Yunhong said: "You didn't take your bracelet."
Ning Fei was stunned for a moment before he remembered that he was talking about the bracelet he got after giving his horoscope. The bracelet was worn on my left hand before, so it was not affected by the scandal. Later, when Ning Fei was taking a shower at Duan Yunhong's house, he took off the bracelet and left it in the bathroom. Since then, he never thought about it again.
"Well, don't do that." Ning Fei lowered his eyes and said mockingly, "Throw it away."
Duan Yunhong: "If you want to throw it, throw it yourself."
This was a confusing statement. Ning Fei pondered over it for a few seconds, then looked at the car parked downstairs, and suddenly he understood something.
——Ah, that matter?
—But couldn’t he just say it straight?
——This person is too much!
With a lot of complaints in his mind, Ning Fei tentatively asked the man on the other end of the phone: "You brought it? Then give it to me."
Duan Yunhong said: "Come down and get it."
Ning Fei smiled: "I won't, you come up."
Duan Yunhong: “…”
The two of them remained silent on the phone for more than ten seconds. Finally, Ning Fei watched the back door of the car open and Duan Yunhong got out.
Ning Fei opened the door for him on her mobile phone, and a few minutes later, Duan Yunhong entered Ning Fei's home.
"Welcome, Mr. Duan. My house is only about the same size as a corner of yours. Don't let it crush you." Ning Fei leaned against the shoe cabinet and raised his chin. "Also, you have to change your shoes when you enter my house. They must be brand new. If they are too short, you will have to make do with them."
Duan Yunhong glanced at the new pair of slippers with cute patterns, and without moving his feet, he just took the bracelet out of his pocket and said, "I'm not going in. I'll give your things back to you."
"Pfft, Duan Yunhong, you're already here, why are you still pretending?" Ning Fei walked down the hallway, approached Duan Yunhong, and pushed him against the door. "It's just the two of us left, why don't you tell the truth?"
Duan Yunhong slapped the bracelet on him and said, "The truth is, take your things away."
"Tsk." Ning Fei took the bracelet and threw it casually, hitting the ground with a bang. "It's just a fake thing that Gu Hechen gave me to deal with me. It doesn't count as mine. If I had known earlier, I would have stained this thing with blood and sent it back to him as a mascot."
"You really have fallen out with Gu Hechen." Duan Yunhong glanced at the bracelet on the ground, "Then I can't think of any reason why you don't come to ST."
"I fell out with him and followed you, so wouldn't that confirm my reputation as a traitor?" Ning Fei made up a random excuse to perfunctorily answer him, and then changed the subject, "Okay, let's not talk about the bad things. Mr. Duan followed me like this, is he really just here to give me a bracelet?"
Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows: "Who is following you..."
"I'll give you one last chance." Ning Fei raised his index finger, "Do you want to leave now, or ask your driver to leave?"
Duan Yunhong grabbed his index finger and said, "Are you sure? You just said that getting close to me would prove your betrayal."
"Boomerang?" Ning Fei sneered, "Work is work, and fun is fun. Just don't let the paparazzi take pictures of you."
Duan Yunhong commented sharply: "It sounds like they are having an affair."
Ning Fei laughed: "Hahahaha, the ST director is having an affair with the rival's agent... Hmm."
Duan Yunhong held him down and kissed him.
***
The driver didn't go back by himself after all.
Duan Yunhong left overnight, not because they had another quarrel and parted on bad terms, but because Ning Fei didn't want him to stay overnight.
Well, it ended a bit unpleasantly. At least Director Duan couldn't help but say before leaving: "You left my house once overnight, so you have to come back to make up for it? I didn't even drive you away that time."
Ning Fei found it funny. If he hadn't left first that night, would he have waited for Duan Yunhong to be sarcastic to him? And tonight was not to get back at Ning Fei, but because Gu Hechen knew that Ning Fei was back, and he might find something to harass Ning Fei. If someone saw Duan Yunhong here, it would cause more trouble.
However, Ning Fei would not be stupid enough to explain it directly like this.
"Well, a small temple cannot accommodate a big Buddha, so don't come and occupy my bed, you tall guy." Ning Fei lay on the bed, supporting his chin with one hand and spreading his other hand towards Duan Yunhong, "But Mr. Duan, it's time to give me your business card."
"Didn't I call you already?" Duan Yunhong answered, but he still took out a business card from his coat and handed it to Ning Fei, "If you want to contact me, just use the number I called you. This is the number on the business card. Sometimes the phone may be in the hands of the secretary."
"Oh, the director's public number?" Ning Fei looked at the business card carefully. "Okay, I'll keep it as a collection."
Duan Yunhong saw him shaking there with his naked back, then went back to the bed and reached out to pinch Ning Fei's shoulder.
Ning Fei: “Hmm?”
Duan Yunhong didn't explain, he just said, "Let's go."
"No, Mr. Duan." Ning Fei paused, and suddenly remembered something. "By the way, let me ask you, there are so many supermodels from ST competing for fashion week jobs recently... It shouldn't be because you are angry with me that you deliberately squeezed out Su Cenxi, right?"
"..." Duan Yunhong lowered his eyes and looked at him, speaking lightly.
"Work is work, and fun is fun."
