Chapter 114: Chapter 114: Be a Man_1
Nan Fei’s mind flashed with the face of Huo Beijiang, and she replied, “Because someone wouldn’t like it.” If it had been her former self, she would’ve done anything that Huo Beijiang disliked.
But she now sworn to change herself, she could no longer be as capricious as before.
Wu Huai shrugged indifferently, obviously not expecting this response. He looked her up and down for a moment, a high school girl already had someone she cared for?
“Who is it? Who is it?” Chen Cuihua, with a straightforward question in her heart, asked bluntly, “Is it a man?”
Nan Fei didn’t beat around the bush and generously admitted, “Yes.”
“Wow!” Chen Cuihua propped her chin in her hands with the face full of girlish heart, starry eyes, “If I were a man, I would treasure you at home and not show you to anyone. I feel like I can understand the man you’re talking about now, I think I can join forces with him.”
“Trust me, he wouldn’t want to join forces with you.” Thinking of Huo Beijiang’s domineering and unreasonable nature, Nan Fei couldn’t help but laugh.
Originally a cool and composed young maiden, when she smiled, her eyes curved, and the whole person seemed like a warm spring breeze blowing over the tender green willows, staying in the vibrant sea of flowers.
It was a kind of indescribable shy and reserved beauty, a kind of shyness that even she had not discovered herself, different from those of others.
Wu Huai was surprised and thought, indeed, it’s someone she likes!
But, wasn’t this considered puppy love? Had the countryside become this open-minded? He would have to ask Chen Cuihua later.
“Why?” Chen Cuihua felt unconvinced, “I don’t want to either!”
She finished speaking, propped her chin on one hand, sighed, and lamented her bad luck, saying, “It is truly a case of me being born too early, and you being born too late.”
Nan Fei got goosebumps all over.
Wu Huai, unable to handle the boss’s peculiar taste, had to remind, “Boss, if I remember correctly, Mr. Gongxi has been very kind to you.”
“Really? I think he is kind to me because he is afraid I will divorce him.”
“…” Regarding their bizarre husband-and-wife relationship, it would be better for him to remain silent. “Ahem…Since the contract has been signed, let’s discuss the specifics of the photo-shoot!”
Actually, discussing was just a polite way of putting it. How and when to shoot was entirely dependent on Wu Huai’s arrangements. They didn’t have a professional photographer or photo studio themselves, but it was fine to directly contact those they were familiar with from previous photo-shoots.
Before the photo shoot, Nan Fei needed to familiarize herself with a few things in the factory, and she would need to come and try on the clothes they selected, to ensure they found the best fit.
Chen Cuihua offered a fair price. Since this couldn’t be considered an endorsement, but only flat modelling work, she offered a reward of 2800 yuan. Half of the down payment was given before the shoot and the balance after the shoot was completed.
Once everything was settled, Nan Fei, with 1400 yuan in her pocket, had a delighted and flushed face.
In her previous life, this money wouldn’t even have been enough for her to have a meal, but now it made her overwhelmingly excited. 1400 yuan! Although it was still far from her dream, it was indeed the first bucket of gold she had earned since her rebirth.
In the future, she would definitely earn more money and let her parents, brothers and sisters live a good life. They would never be ridiculed again, and her younger brother would never be bullied again.
