    Chapter 18 – Niohuru Fei, Returns

    The night Ning Fei agreed to return, Chen Xi Studio issued an official statement that included Su Cenxi’s handwritten apology letter, the studio’s stamped apology letter, and an explanation of Ning Fei’s return.

    The next day, freelance media outlets photographed Ning Fei already on set with Su Cenxi. And Gathlyn was also there, seemingly demoted to an assistant, basically following Ning Fei’s arrangements. Su Cenxi was even more obedient, constantly looking at Ning Fei during breaks, nodding to everything Ning Fei said.

    As a result, a topic appeared on social media that day: “#NiohuruNingFei.” Freelance media outlets, skilled at embellishment, described Ning Fei as having the attitude of “Today you ignore me, tomorrow I’ll make you unable to reach me,” in the style of a contemporary revenge drama.

    However, Ning Fei didn’t allow the purchase of data for this topic, so it only circulated within Su Cenxi’s fan community. Fans speculated one after another: [It must be because Xixi’s workload at Fashion Week was too small, proving Gathlyn’s incompetence! That’s why the studio had no choice but to invite Ning Fei to “return to the palace”!]

    [Agreed! When Ning Fei’s scandals were exposed before, we discussed it privately. Which supermodel’s life isn’t this strict? They earn their living this way, and it’s only right for the manager to be strict. Now it’s good, they kicked him out and had to invite him back, and Xixi even had to apologize in person. Could Gathlyn have been behind Ning Fei’s scandals before?]

    [Not to say, Gathlyn’s level is really terrible. I’ve watched the outfit clash video so many times, and Gathlyn reacted like a wooden person, and even made mistakes in the translation. She really, is nothing!]

    Of course, a small number of people believed that Ning Fei held Su Cenxi’s weaknesses, so Su Cenxi had no choice but to give in. This kind of statement was quite conspiratorial and didn’t have a market among fans, so it didn’t spread widely.

    Admittedly, both of these guesses have some truth to them, but Ning Fei isn’t an entertainer; he doesn’t need to respond to these public opinions. What he needs to do is to pull Su Cenxi up again.

    So the first thing Ning Fei did upon his return was to “borrow” luck from Su Cenxi again.

    This time, he borrowed even more, and of course, he would collect even more in the future. Although Ning Fei was still a bit clueless about how to deal with Su Cenxi’s mess, it was always right to add some luck to prevent the bad luck from worsening. When in doubt, resort to metaphysics.

    After adding luck, Ning Fei started dealing with Su Cenxi’s work. He originally planned not to follow Su Cenxi to the set first, and sort out the recent work first. As a result, Su Cenxi said that the next day’s photoshoot was a group photo, and there were several ST supermodels in it. He was a bit afraid of these people now, begging Ning Fei to go to the set. Ning Fei was speechless, but there was no time to give Su Cenxi psychological counseling, so he had to follow him to the set.

    As for Gathlyn, Ning Fei ignored her coming and going. It seemed that Gu Hechen gave her a choice, N+3 or not reduce salary but change to deputy manager—actually is assistant—Gathlyn chose the latter.

    Therefore, from the first day of Ning Fei’s return, Su Cenxi’s work scene had the bizarre sight of both the former and current managers following him.

    In fact, there was also a small detail that day that the scoopers didn’t capture, or rather, didn’t notice. That was, when the models were taking photos, an ST manager was also on set, standing right next to Ning Fei.

    She was clearly looking at her own model, but her body was slightly leaning towards Ning Fei, and she whispered, “You guys made such an ugly scene before, and you’re still willing to come back. How high a price did CEO Gu offer you?”

    Ning Fei was baffled. Is this something you can talk about with external people? How could she be so shameless to ask so naturally?

    Seeing that Ning Fei didn’t reply, the manager added, “Just asking casually. I just think Chen Xi is really rich. Gathlyn has been demoted and still hasn’t left, so the salary must be very high. Are you still hiring?”

    Ning Fei answered irrelevantly, “We only have one model.”

    “Oh, managing and representing exclusively, no vacancies.” The manager sighed regretfully, then said in a casual tone, “To be honest, when you left Chen Xi before, I thought we would become colleagues.”

    “Huh?” Ning Fei was even more baffled. Even if ST had the idea of ​​recruiting him, is this kind of recruitment plan known to the whole company? Impossible!

    The ST manager tilted her head to look at his wary and puzzled look, smiled, and leaned close to his ear, “To tell you the truth, Teresa told Director Duan about the method you used to get the Y brand publicity photos. Director Duan had someone make it into a PPT and put it in the required courses for managers. Now all the ST managers know that your methods are unique, it’s quite ‘regrettable’ that we didn’t become colleagues.”

    Ning Fei: “…”

    ——Good for you, Teresa!

    ——Good for you, Duan Yunhong!!!

    *

    Ning Fei didn’t send a message to question Duan Yunhong, but a few days later, he met Duan Yunhong in person.

    Ning Fei wasn’t surprised by this. Because the place to discuss work that day was downstairs of ST, and almost the entire building was related to the fashion industry, it wasn’t strange for ST people to appear anywhere. It was just that when the two met in the corridor, Ning Fei originally planned to nod and pass by, but Duan Yunhong took a step sideways and blocked Ning Fei’s way.

    Fortunately, the assistant Ning Fei brought had already gone downstairs to drive, and there was no one else in the corridor for the time being, otherwise he really wouldn’t be able to explain what he was doing with the director of the rival company.

    Even so, Ning Fei was a little annoyed: “Director Duan, what can I do for you?”

    Duan Yunhong didn’t have much expression on his face, and dropped two words faintly: “Tonight?”

    Ning Fei was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was talking about, a little surprised that this person was so bold, daring to make an appointment in a serious place, in a public place—although no one was watching—But thinking about it carefully, it was a bit wonderful, and Ning Fei hadn’t had fun for a while, so he took out his phone and looked at it: “Okay, but after eleven o’clock.”

    Duan Yunhong raised his eyebrows: “Gu Hechen gave you a mountain of gold and silver? Is it worth working so hard as soon as you come back?”

    “You’re crossing the line, Director Duan.” Ning Fei was even more unhappy when he remembered that this person had put him into a PPT, walked around him, and left a sentence, “If you’re not happy, go find someone else.”

    After saying that, he left, not giving the other party time to continue speaking.

    As a result, when Ning Fei got in the car, Duan Yunhong’s message came: [Eleven o’clock. (Attached is the address of a spa center)]

    Ning Fei took a look at this message, and then thought of Duan Yunhong’s stinky face just now, struggling for a long time, and still sent this message, and suddenly couldn’t help laughing in the back seat. The assistant driving in front heard the movement and asked suspiciously: “Brother Fei?”

    “It’s okay, drive your car.” Ning Fei replied, while replying to the text message: [May not be on time, I probably won’t be able to leave until eleven o’clock. Going to a spa? Not a group activity, right?]

    Duan Yunhong: [Group activity?]

    Ning Fei: [Don’t add a third person, only accept 1v1.]

    Duan Yunhong: [What filthy things are you thinking about?]

    Duan Yunhong: [There is no third person, it’s the hotel above the spa. You can use the services of the center below from tonight to tomorrow with your room card.]

    Ning Fei: [What, can I stay overnight this time?]

    Duan Yunhong: [I never kicked you out.]

    Ning Fei: [Yes, yes, yes. You didn’t kick me out. Can I go directly to you tonight? At least give me a room number, Director Duan!]

    After a while, Duan Yunhong replied to the message, which was a direct forwarding of a room confirmation message, of course, including the room number and complimentary services. Ning Fei found it funny, and replied to him: [Director Duan, weren’t you booking a room just now?]

    Duan Yunhong didn’t reply.

    Ning Fei sent another: [I will try my best to tell you in advance what time I will arrive, if you can’t hold on and want to sleep, remember to tell me in advance.]

    Duan Yunhong: [It wasn’t me who had a record of running away temporarily.]

    Ning Fei thought to himself, you’re pretending, tonight I really have a lot of old scores to settle with you.

    So Manager Ning pretended to be obedient: [Okay, I will definitely be there, let’s fight until dawn, okay!]

    *

    After finishing work in the evening, Ning Fei used Gu Hechen as an excuse to refuse the client’s invitation for supper, stuffed Su Cenxi into the car, and took a taxi to the spa center.

    I have to say that this place is quite high-end, the overall atmosphere is very quiet, giving people a sense of security that “even if you see a big shot, you have to pretend you didn’t see it.” Ning Fei reported his name at the front desk, and the front desk gave him a wristband, saying that it also served as a room card. Ning Fei put on the wristband, while studying the various services here, and went up to the business suite booked by Duan Yunhong.

    He couldn’t find anyone when he first entered the door, Ning Fei wandered around and shouted, “Hello, is anyone there?”

    “Here.”

    Duan Yunhong’s voice came, Ning Fei followed the sound and found that the director was soaking in a large bathtub in front of a floor-to-ceiling window. The bathtub was bubbling upwards, flashing lights. There was also an ice bucket and an opened red wine next to the bathtub, with a wine glass next to it, filled with one-third of the wine. Duan Yunhong was leaning against the wine glass, facing the floor-to-ceiling window, admiring the moonlight.

    Ning Fei couldn’t help but smile: …Too pretentious, even a bit tacky.

    He squatted down, looking at Duan Yunhong in the pool: “…Director Duan, you wouldn’t have quickly gotten in after I said I was downstairs, right?”

    Duan Yunhong glanced at him: “How is that possible?”

    “Really? Then how long have you been soaking? Don’t tell me you’ve wrinkled yourself?” Ning Fei joked with him casually, and picked up the red wine to take a look, “…Damn, is this real wine? Opening this kind of thing in this place, wouldn’t the price double?”

    “I took it from my wine cabinet.” Seeing that he didn’t react, Duan Yunhong couldn’t help but add another sentence, “Didn’t you say you wanted to drink this before?”

    “Oh, right.” Ning Fei paused, then said, “But you said you’d give me two bottles, why did you drink it yourself first.”

    Duan Yunhong: “It’s my wine, I can drink it if I want to.”

    Then he watched Ning Fei pick up the wine glass and drink the rest of the red wine.

    Squatting and drinking wine, this posture would be like a hooligan if done by ordinary people. But Ning Fei drinking like this has a kind of hooliganism with…that kind of “hooligan” feeling.

    Duan Yunhong’s Adam’s apple rolled, he suspected that Su Cenxi’s smoking posture was taught by Ning Fei himself.

    But after Ning Fei finished drinking, Duan Yunhong only said one sentence: “That’s the cup I used.”

    “Isn’t there only one cup, what, are we afraid of indirect kissing?” Ning Fei put down the cup and looked at the bathtub again, “By the way, you’re taking a bath, why are you still wearing a bath towel?”

    Duan Yunhong was expressionless: “Just in case when walking over.”

    Ning Fei’s hand scooped up the water in the pool again, warm: “I heard that hot springs can cause the function of men to decline, is that true?”

    Duan Yunhong grabbed his wrist and pulled him down: “You’ll know if you try it.”
