Her fingers swiped on the screen to accept the call.
“Little cutiepie, where have you been? I’ve been looking for you for quite some time but to no avail. Could you be crying in a corner because the hardships got to your head?”
Sheng Yu’s nonchalant and teasing voice sounded.
Luo Chenxi was very surprised. “Chief Sheng, are you looking for me?”
“Come to my office if you still need a model. I’ll only wait for five minutes.”
Hearing this, Luo Chenxi turned around and ran back to SL Corporation without hesitation.
“Tsk, tsk, five minutes, not even a second off the mark. Little cutiepie, it seems like you really want to participate in the finals, don’t you?”
Luo Chenxi panted and glared at Sheng Yu. “Of course, I managed to enter the finals by proving my strength, so why would I give up now? Didn’t you say you were going to introduce me to some models?”
Sheng Yu put his arm on the table and leaned forward, with his eyes filled with interest, he said slowly, “That’s… not possible. Wu Yingdi has dropped the word—that all models are not allowed to work with you. Seeing as he is one of SL Corporation’s shareholders, how can I go against him?”
Luo Chenxi choked. “Then why did you call me over?”
No wonder her schoolmates branded Sheng Yu the devil.
He really was a lame one. The man deliberately messed with Luo Chenxi when he clearly knew that she was being extremely anxious about her situation.
Sheng Yu glanced at her tense little face and chuckled. “What’s with the hurry? I haven’t finished talking yet. Although I can’t introduce you to models, there’s no saying that only models are allowed on the fashion runway, is there?”
“What do you mean?”
“Have you ever considered using an artist as your model?”
“An artist?” Luo Chenxi was stunned. “That’s not impossible, but I can’t even imagine finding myself an artist for that reason when I can’t even get a model to do so.”
Sheng Yu said, “I happen to have a suitable candidate for that.”
As he said that, he pointed behind Luo Chenxi, “My cousin, Shao Mingyi. I have no idea why he insists on becoming an artist. Up until now, he’s still only a somewhat popular singer. He recently came to me, saying that he wishes to transition his career into the fashion industry. I think… he fits being a model for your design this time.”
Luo Chenxi turned her head and looked in the direction that Sheng Yu was pointing at.
A handsome young man was sitting on the sofa behind her.
The young man looked a little younger than Luo Chenxi. He had a gentle and handsome face that gave off a hint of shyness from beneath, but there was a certain elegance in his composure that could only be found on a person who came from a wealthy family.
Shao Mingyi nodded at Luo Chenxi. “Miss Xing Chen, I wonder if I can have the honor of being your model?”
Luo Chenxi was slightly stunned, then she revealed a surprised smile.
“Aren’t you… Shao Mingyi, the lead singer of SLY? My best friend and I love your songs!”
“Huh? Really? Thank you…” Shao Mingyi was flattered. “I thought I didn’t have any fans at all!”
SLY’s album sales were so dismal that the contract with their manager was on the verge of termination. Otherwise, he would not have had to come to Sheng Yu to ask for a career transition.
“What are you talking about? You can sing very well, so please don’t give up!” Luo Chenxi instantly jumped from excitement at the sight of her favorite idol. “Are you really going to model for me? You can’t go back on your word!”
“Of course.” Shao Mingyi nodded and smiled.
Sheng Yu mentioned on the spot that he would be in charge of training Shao Mingyi for the runway walk, so Luo Chenxi could focus on her design.
Luo Chenxi’s mood brightened up a whole lot. Her steps felt pleasantly light as she walked out of SL Corporation.
Even Wu Lingshan’s provocation could not affect Luo Chenxi at all when they bumped into each other on her way out.
‘Shao Mingyi is very different from the type of model that I was expecting at the beginning. The main reason is that, when compared to professional male models, he is not as tall, and he is relatively thin in figure. Therefore, those ready-made clothes have to be modified. I’ve got only a few days left before the finals, so I have to hurry.’
Regardless of who the model was, those ready-made clothes were already planned for modifications in the first place.
Back when she was selecting models in the conference room today, she suddenly realized that her clothes were made according to Mu Yichen’s measurement. In reality, not even the top male models in the country could rival his excellent height and figure…
Therefore, no one could wear those clothes as they currently were.
At this moment, Luo Chenxi’s cell phone rang again.
She thought it was Tang Tang urging her to go home, so she picked it up without even looking at the screen.
“Hello?”
“Chenxi, come home tonight. It’s been so long since you’ve last come home, daddy misses you.”
Luo Chenxi’s expression changed, “Luo Anguo! What are you trying to pull this time?”
