Chapter 29: His Shadow

The model competition quickly announced that they would be creating clothing for girls with cancer and organizing a fashion show. However, the clothing production would take time, so before that, Su Cenxi went to record the competition program for the second time.

This was the third episode of the competition recording. The second episode was 20 to 18, so this time it was 18 to 15. In addition to the final runway show selection, the guests also had to accompany the newcomers during the day to create new looks, take hard photos, and finally the runway show in the evening.

Today, the “Queen Seat” newcomer really had a problem. She didn’t like the new look that the program team arranged for her, and from the beginning of the styling, she constantly expressed implicitly and explicitly that she wanted to change her hairstyle and hair color. But these were all set, and the program team would not change it for her, otherwise it would be easy to clash with others. The two guests who spoke Mandarin took turns to communicate with her, understand her true thoughts, and then persuade her.

However, the Queen Seat newcomer didn’t appreciate their efforts. Anyway, as long as she didn’t change her style, she kept her face drooping, and even when she went to take pictures after finishing her styling, she was obviously absent-minded.

After the other party finished taking pictures, Su Cenxi “fired” in front of the camera: “This is very unprofessional of you. You are a model, and you can’t just not take pictures and walk the show properly because you don’t like the style designated by others. For example, a runway show needs to unify the makeup and styling. There are so many models, it is impossible for each one to be 100% suitable for the same style. Can unsuitable models change it without permission? Or just walk around randomly on stage to protest? Are the audience watching you or the clothes?”

The Queen Seat newcomer also knew that her condition was not good, and argued a few words: “I was just affected by my mood, I can’t play well, I can’t find inspiration to pose, I don’t want to mess around on purpose…”

Su Cenxi said: “If you can’t think of it, change more, and think of a way with the photographer. If you stand there stiffly, even a master can’t save you! If the brand people are on the scene, what will they think of you, have you thought about it?”

The newcomer argued a few more words. Su Cenxi listened with a cold face, and then replied in a cold tone: “You still don’t understand where you are wrong. This kind of mentality can’t be competent for this job. You will suffer a lot in the future.”

These words were heard clearly by Duan Yunhong, who was standing not far away.

He thoughtfully glanced at the outside of the venue, and immediately found the slender man. In fact, the navy blue casual suit he was wearing today was very low-key, but somehow, Duan Yunhong was able to locate him at a glance.

As if telepathically, the other party also suddenly turned his face and looked directly into Duan Yunhong’s eyes.

Then he smiled, with an attitude of “See, I did well, right?”

Director Duan turned his gaze away with a straight face.

“…Ning Fei, what are you looking at?”

Gasslin accidentally noticed that Ning Fei’s attention had shifted away from Su Cenxi, and leaned closer to him, asking in a low voice, “Is there a problem over there?”

Ning Fei withdrew his gaze, and the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared: “Nothing, just looking around.”

Gasslin didn’t suspect anything, and sighed in a low voice: “Xi Xi said these words really smoothly. He said before that he didn’t know how to play it, isn’t this pretty good…”

Ning Fei: Most of them are the words I used to scold him, so familiar, how could he not say it well?

When it comes to dawdling and unprofessionalism, who can compare to Su Cenxi, who had never been taught a lesson before?

Also in this episode recording, Duan Yunhong’s attack on Su Cenxi came.

During the runway show recording in the evening, the newcomers stood in a row on the stage after the show, waiting for comments. When it was Duan Yunhong’s turn to speak, he first commented on two of them, and then mentioned the Queen Seat newcomer. He affirmed the newcomer’s runway show. Before the newcomer could raise the corners of her mouth for two seconds, he changed the subject and said, “It seems that you are satisfied with tonight’s look.”

The newcomer’s expression froze.

Duan Yunhong didn’t give her too much time to react. He briefly described what happened in the afternoon, and then “revealed” in advance: “To tell you the truth, your photos this time are the worst of all. You may think that the program team didn’t pick the best one, but only in that photo is your expression relaxed and natural, and that was even the first test shot. But that doesn’t mean that the photo is really good, it’s actually very bad.”

The newcomer girl took the topic that had just been handed over, her mouth opened and closed, but she didn’t say anything. From the close-up shots, you could see that her lips were trembling.

Duan Yunhong didn’t wait for her to react, and said again: “Our guest should have talked to you about this issue today, right, Su Cenxi?”

The camera immediately turned to Su Cenxi.

He was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted and replied calmly: “Yes, we talked about it. Aery, you are not satisfied with your look, and this emotion has not only been conveyed to your makeup artist and hairstylist, but also to the entire photography studio. In fact, I think your hard photo ranking should be last. Not only because your photo performance is not good, but also because of your work attitude.”

Duan Yunhong looked at the guest seat and said slowly: “So Su Cenxi, you think that even if Aery’s photos are well taken, she should be ranked behind because of her work attitude?”

Ning Fei, who was watching the broadcast backstage: There is a trap in these words.

But he couldn’t remind Su Cenxi immediately, so he could only hope that Su Cenxi could learn and apply the training content he usually did.

“…The work attitude I’m talking about is not only that Aery is dissatisfied with the prescribed style.” Su Cenxi was very sober this time and saw through Duan Yunhong’s language trap. “But also because after the styling, she was the one who was most affected by negative emotions, which led to her poor performance when taking pictures. In this case, I think it is also difficult for her to perform at her best and take good photos.”

After a pause, Su Cenxi couldn’t help but add: “Of course, Aery’s performance tonight is good, and she has completely adjusted her state during the day. I don’t deny this.”

“So, comprehensively, where do you think she should be ranked in this episode?” Duan Yunhong drew two strokes on the information in front of him, and continued to turn his head to look at Su Cenxi. “Or, do you think a model should immediately get the same starting point of competition as others after making such a mistake?”

These words were obviously targeted.

Duan Yunhong seemed to be talking about the Queen Seat newcomer Aery’s affairs, but in fact he was hinting at Su Cenxi’s previous behavior. After all, whether it was the people present or the industry insiders who watched the broadcast in the future, they had heard about Su Cenxi’s “unprofessional” deeds. He relied on his boyfriend’s detached status to skip work at will, and the last time a similar thing happened was only half a year ago.

Gasslin naturally heard it, and couldn’t help but whisper to Su Cenxi: “This Andrew is doing it on purpose, right? Why are you asking so targeted! This paragraph is not in the script, did you say hello to you in advance?”

Ning Fei didn’t answer directly, just glanced at her: “Be calm.”

Gasslin had to swallow the words she hadn’t finished saying.

And Su Cenxi in the guest seat should have heard Duan Yunhong’s subtext. In fact, under high tension, his mind was already in a mess. The last answer was already his super-level performance, and now he had to maintain his decency and insist on the persona of dissing Aery, this question was really beyond the outline.

Fortunately, Su Cenxi still remembered a sentence from Ning Fei.

Ning Fei had instructed before: “If someone from the program team interviews you and asks how a certain contestant should be ranked, or whether a certain decision is fair or not, if you really can’t answer, you can say, ‘This question, in the end, depends on the decision of the judges, after all, they are the ones who consider the most both on and off the stage.'”

So Su Cenxi held back his calm expression, looked at Duan Yunhong, and smiled slightly: “This problem, let’s give it back to the judges. After all, I’m just a model, and you are the ones who consider the most both on and off the stage, and you must think more comprehensively than me.”

Duan Yunhong: “…”

——Tsk, this expression, this rhetoric, you can tell at a glance that it was taught by someone!

A few days after the recording of this episode, just the day before filming the “charity extra,” Ning Fei went to Duan Yunhong’s house again and again to spend the night.

On the way, he remembered Duan Yunhong’s disgusted expression when he saw the mineral water bottle with flowers last time, and felt very funny, so he deliberately bought a handful of flowers from a roadside stall and came to the door.

Duan Yunhong saw him bringing flowers again, his expression unchanged, his tone faint: “Did fans send them again?”

“Where, a girl insisted on giving it to me, and I couldn’t refuse, so I had to accept it.” Ning Fei made up nonsense as soon as he opened his mouth. “I can’t throw it away directly, so I’ll use it to present flowers to the Buddha.”

Duan Yunhong narrowed his eyes slightly: “You take the flowers that others give you and give them to me?”

Ning Fei: “Can’t I?”

Duan Yunhong: “Throw them away.”

“Hahahaha…!” Ning Fei finally laughed out loud. After laughing for a while, he stepped forward and stuffed the flowers into his arms. “Just kidding, I bought them specially, okay?”

Duan Yunhong had to hold the flowers, and subconsciously repeated: “You bought them?”

“Yeah, but they’re the kind of cheap goods from roadside stalls, twenty yuan a bunch, which is much cheaper than the last time I brought them.” Ning Fei walked to his restaurant while talking, “I’ll cut another mineral water bottle to use as a vase…”

Duan Yunhong suddenly said, “I have a vase at home.”

Ning Fei paused and looked back at him: “Ah? Then why didn’t I find it last time?”

“You didn’t observe carefully.” Duan Yunhong walked to a display cabinet and opened the glass door. “I’ve put them all out this time, did you see them?”

Ning Fei was suspicious: “You have a vase at home, so why didn’t you say it last time? Why did you keep looking at the mineral water bottle with disgust?”

“…” Duan Yunhong didn’t answer, just stuffed the vase and flowers to him. “Okay, go deal with it.”

Ning Fei was caught off guard and stuffed full: “Wouldn’t it be okay for you to do it yourself…”

“I want to finish watching something first. The preliminary cut version of the last recorded program is ready, I want to confirm it.” Duan Yunhong replied seriously, “If you want to watch it, come and watch it together later.”

Ning Fei was distracted by the work topic and nodded in response. When he entered the bathroom and started rinsing the vase, looking at the beautiful porcelain in his hand, he suddenly reacted.

——This can’t be because of the flowers last time that he bought the vase, is he really stubborn?
