National Tide 1980.

Chapter 1330: In front of and behind the scenes

"Yes, that's what I think anyway. Where is the perfect thing? Today's society is so funny. Rich people are not good, and handsome, educated, and conscientious people are not rich."

Model C continued what Model A said, "So, only a bachelor like Manager Ning can be so attractive. Don't you think so?"

This immediately caused the models to laugh.

"Oh, you're quite bold. But it's a pity that he already has a wife. She wouldn't look down on a vulgar woman like you."

"Look at her, she's almost drooling. She's just like a female demon from Journey to the West. She's flirting with people? I'm afraid it'll scare people to death."

"Haha, don't discourage others. I really hope she can succeed. Who can say for sure about such things? If she can really intervene as a third party and seduce Manager Ning, I will feel proud."

"She can't do it. Otherwise, I'll go."

Model C would certainly not be angry, because they usually hang out together, and they are used to such obscene jokes.

"Don't make a fuss. What are you making a fuss about?"

She smiled and said, "Don't bully me. No one has a chance. Don't you think that now, both the bride and groom are invulnerable, and it's the best time to make love. Anyone who dreams of this is a fool. But as a good sister, I have to remind you that there will be no shortage of high-quality guests at a scene like today. And there will definitely be foreigners. If anyone wants to find someone with decent talent, appearance and wealth, or even the opportunity to go abroad, this is a great opportunity."

At this point, her expression became a little serious. "I hope everyone can get what they want, but I have to say something ugly. We will split up and don't get in each other's way. If someone comes close to the prey I'm targeting, don't blame me for being hostile."

Her words caused everyone to fall silent at the same time, but after a moment, Model A publicly expressed his support.

"Yes, love needs to be fought for and grasped by oneself. Whoever gets the blessing gets it. Everyone should be content with their own fate and not be jealous of others. If someone really does something that hurts others and does not benefit themselves, and does not care about friendship at all, don't blame everyone for targeting her."

As a result, the others had no choice but to express their opinions, whether sincerely or passively, and they all expressed their approval.

Model C is actually quite good at dealing with people. At this time, she added, "Of course, if my prey is obviously not interested and slips away, or if he takes the initiative to chat with other ladies, that's another matter. In fact, we can also exchange what we have with each other. The target we find may not be suitable for us. If we really want to have a relationship, I find that I am not suitable. Maybe some of you are willing. In this case, I don't mind being a matchmaker for you. But in principle, it has to be fair. If I give one away, I have to get one in return. Do you agree?"

Her words naturally caused another wave of laughter.

Everyone nodded in agreement while laughing and scolding her, saying that she was almost becoming a "human trafficker."

It has to be said that "being competent and standing firm" is nothing new to them.

At the same time, each of them also had some illusions and looked forward to today's wedding banquet more and more.

Model A seemed to see a handsome blond foreign man showing great courtesy to her, Model B seemed to see herself in a trance and dating a senior executive of Pierre Cardin, Model D felt that she was favored by a famous painter and had the possibility of becoming the painter's wife. Even Model C felt that her good luck for the day was about to come...

In short, these women, walking on the rockery with a special style, really look like the female demons in the TV series "Journey to the West" who have just appeared to wreak havoc on the world.

However, sometimes comparison is necessary to show the differences between people.

Just like now, they had just climbed to the top of the rockery and found a beautiful woman in a crimson dress sitting under the veranda of the room on the top of the mountain.

Most people would look gaudy in this color, but she doesn't.

I don’t know if it’s because of her fair skin or because she has a sophisticated face with delicate features, or maybe it’s because she didn’t cross her legs or eat melon seeds, but she has a slender neck and a tall figure, and she looks like a lady from a noble family.

She still looks elegant and generous in crimson, so pure and refined.

And the long hair is blown by the wind and looks very flowing.

She sat on the top of the mountain and looked into the distance. She was in perfect harmony with the environment, as if she had completely blended into this tranquil scenery.

Even women would be moved if they saw her like this.

This strong contrast made several models feel inferior and ashamed of themselves.

The noise they were making immediately died down.

Especially when they walked past this "superior" beauty, and saw that she smiled and waved at them politely.

They all immediately smiled and waved in response.

Only after they passed each other and looked at each other for a while did they couldn't help but reveal a look of surprise on their faces.

If for no other reason, simply because they had almost all recognized who this simple and elegant beauty was.

"See? This is Yao Peifang, the runner-up of last year's competition. I didn't expect she would be here too."

Model A turned around, lowered his voice, and kindly told the others.

She wanted to remind these little sisters that they would have strong competitors today.

She soon discovered that she was the least informed person.

"What's so strange about that? Don't you know? She's also a cast member of Crazy Rich Asians."

Model Ding also looked back frequently and lowered her voice and said, "You would never have thought that she, a runner-up, was so lucky. She was able to perform abroad and make movies. I'm afraid even the champion Ye Jihong can't compare to her. I dare say that as long as the movie is released next year, she will become an international star. Look at her blessings, she is really lucky."

"That's right. Don't you see who invested in this movie and how many stars participated in it? Anyone who participates in it can become famous. But it has little to do with good fortune or luck."

Model C couldn't help revealing the most explosive inside story, "She has someone behind her. You probably don't know this yet, right? Among all the models brought to Japan by the Textile Bureau, she has the most leisurely life. She started to leave the team frequently after only a few days. Moreover, she enjoys privileged treatment. Not only does she occupy a room all by herself, but she also doesn't participate in training and often stays out all night. Even the group leaders don't dare to control her. What do you think? Especially since no one knows where she gets the money, she casually spends hundreds of thousands of yen to sell real big-name clothing. Everyone speculates that she might have met a rich man in Japan."

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true. This is what it means to be a true person. ..."

"No wonder she won the runner-up. I knew it's not easy to get into the top three in this kind of competition. As for us, it's useless even if we try our best. We are just accompanying the prince to study..."

Just like that, the goblins, filled with unspeakable jealousy and amid whispers of slander, went away together.

However, Yao Peifang, who held a high position and sat above them, did not care much about it.

She knew what her sisters in the same profession were saying about her behind her back.

Even though everyone seems polite on the surface and smiles at her when they meet, most of them don't say anything good about her behind her back.

But the problem is that if you are not envied by others, you are mediocre. She grew up in this kind of voice. If even this little noise can affect her, then she should not stay in this circle.

  Besides, who doesn't talk behind others' backs? Who doesn't talk behind others' backs? Even she herself is a vulgar person, and can't escape the bite of jealousy. How can she still care about such things, and how can she have the energy to care about other things?

To be honest, she almost fled here because she couldn't stand the pain.

Compared with the lively and cheerful environment inside, this place is a paradise, and she, who is alone, should stay in such a place.

She sat on the bench on the veranda, leaning against the pillar. The coolness of the metal penetrated her skin through her thin clothes. The gentle breeze brought coolness, which somewhat dispelled some of the irritability in her heart.

As for asking her where the pain in her heart came from and what she was worried about?

In fact, the answer is only one person’s name—Ning Weimin.

Yes, time flies, and two or three months are gone in the blink of an eye.

In May, Yao Peifang attended Ning Weimin's wedding held in Japan. Now when she closes her eyes and thinks about it, it seems like it was just yesterday.

Yao Peifang also finds it hard to forget the interview with Daze Feng. What kind of experience was that?

She believed Ning Weimin's words and played the role of Fei Xiang's fiancée in order to get the role of the rich girl in "Crazy Rich Asians".

She made up her mind and, with the determination to never turn back, she endured the pain and went to the Chanel store to buy clothes and shoes.

Just on these two things, she almost spent all the 500,000 yen that Ning Weimin gave her.

When she was on her way to Tokyo, she even borrowed the Louis Vuitton bag from a girl in the modeling team in exchange for a conveyor belt sushi meal.

The surface is as shiny as a donkey dung egg.

As a result, after attending the wedding, she went to meet the director as scheduled, only to find out that she had been fooled by Ning Weimin.

All these preparations and expenses she made actually had no practical significance other than making her look respectable at the wedding.

Because director Osawa Yutaka did not have a strict attitude towards selecting roles. He just watched her say a few lines casually through the camera and accepted her. His attitude was very friendly.

The conversation was quite serious. Director Osawa Yutaka said, "Since Chairman Ning thinks you can handle this role, then it should be you."

He then told her that not only was this role chosen by Ning Weimin himself, but even the contract was drafted in advance by Ning Weimin.

Her salary of 5 million yen is comparable to that of popular newcomers like Haruko Sawaguchi.

Yao Peifang looked at the director's deliberately concealed eyes and knew what he was thinking.

Obviously, he must be wondering whether he and Ning Weimin have any special relationship in private.

But the problem is that she herself doesn't know what's going on. How unfair is it to be subject to such groundless speculation?

Yes, she was very grateful to Ning Weimin for giving her such a good opportunity and conditions.

  But was it to reward her for her dedicated service to the tour group? Or was it out of genuine appreciation for her? Or was it because he regarded her as a substitute for Qu Xiao?

This really made her feel embarrassed and awkward, and she couldn't help but want to figure it out.

Unfortunately, she didn't have the chance to get to the bottom of the matter because Ning Weimin had already flown to Paris with Matsumoto Keiko.

And she had no power to refuse, because even her stay in Tokyo required money to support it.

So she had no choice but to sign the contract silently and took the 1 million yen advance fee.

As a result, he was a little distracted because of thinking about this matter. After bringing the money back to the modeling team, he did not put it away in time. The money was accidentally discovered by someone, which caused an uproar.

Some people questioned whether she had violated the delegation's regulations by finding a rich man in Japan and started a relationship with him, and reported her to the delegation.

Fortunately, the group leaders knew some inside information. After she explained the whole story to them and the source of the money, they all supported her unconditionally and announced the truth to everyone in the group.

However, this did stop people from criticizing her on the surface.

But the various suspicions caused by jealousy cannot be eradicated.

The group leaders are powerless to do anything about what others say or speculate in private.

So it was no surprise that she was isolated by everyone.

From then on, she no longer had any close friends in the modeling team.

  This was the price she had to pay for her successful career. Who could she complain to?

But to be honest, there are some emotions that she can empathize with the people in these groups.

Everyone was curious about her background and thought she was hiding it very well. In fact, she felt the same way about Ning Weimin.

To her, Ning Weimin was the one who really hid his true colors. God only knew what this man was capable of.

For example, although he is a complete layman when it comes to movies, this co-production movie with an investment of 2 billion yen was completely controlled by Ning Weimin.

This was simply unbelievable to her. This guy didn't say a word.

Later, she learned that this was not the first time that Ning Weimin had interfered with the film industry. The co-produced film "Li Xianglan", which had already been successful in the Asian market, was originally planned by him. This completely refreshed her understanding.

She could only admit that there were indeed geniuses in this world. Ning Weimin was not only talented in business, but he was also a natural talent in movies and art.

She could see that even the main members of the entire crew's respect for Ning Weimin was not false.

Otherwise, the entire crew would not have been organized by the director and the photographer just because Ning Weimin gave a call.

Quickly assembled in Tokyo.

Then, without saying a word, he set off to the capital with his equipment to shoot a scene that did not exist in the original script.

  What kind of execution is this? What kind of control is this?

No one in the crew expressed any distrust.

Of course, what really shocked Yao Peifang was Ning Weimin's wedding.

It was this traditional wedding, which was destined to be unusual, prepared in Yunyuan, that made Yao Peifang get to know Ning Weimin again.
