Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The show director called for a final dry run before show began.

The seven trainees hurried over and lined up to go onstage.

Fu Jin looked at his trainees and then at Fang Han. “Teacher Fang has a good eye.”

Fang Han folded her arms. “Please keep your distance when I’m at work. You picked them and I only helped you assess them. Good or bad, it all depends on how well they perform in future.”

Fu Jin chuckled and really kept his distance. He found a seat away from Fang Han and sat down.

Meanwhile, Fang Han’s assistant suddenly ran up to her and whispered something that made her face turn dark.

“Why didn’t you say something earlier?”

Her assistant was in a bind. “It happened suddenly, and I just found out. Ms. Fang, what should we do now?”

Fang Han frowned and said fiercely, “How many times has he done this? Does he really think that he’s irreplaceable?”

The assistant was also very angry. “Ms. Fang, I suspect it’s your competitor who sabotaged by deliberately taking away your most important model. They behave recklessly just because you left them alone. They’re too much!”

Companies in the same industry were naturally business competitors.

Fang Han founded her company. She was no stranger to these sabotages by competitors.

She turned to look at Fu Jin and beckoned him with her finger.

Fu Jin walked up to her and asked, “Didn’t you ask me to keep my distance? It hasn’t even been two minutes and you already miss me?”

“Have you ever walked a runway?”

Fu Jin was stunned and touched his nose. “Yes, as a favor to my cousin, but it was a long time ago.”

“Then you are it.”

Fang Han grabbed his shirt and pulled him into the changing room. She ordered her assistant as they walked.

“Bring me the outfit. Don’t tell anyone that I’ve found a substitute model.”

Fang Han’s assistant quickly went to get the outfit.

Fu Jin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as Fang Han pulled him along by the shirt.

When they arrived at the changing room, before Fu Jin could speak, the woman had already forced him behind the door to kiss him.

“We are not in public now. I can kiss you.”

Fu Jin looked helpless as the woman kissed him twice.

“Teacher Fang, taking advantage of me, huh?”

Fang Han smiled, looking less fierce and more charming now.

“Boyfriend, help me this time. I’ll move in with you and eat, drink, and sleep with you.”

Fu Jin held her slender waist and pressed her against the door, kissing her.

Fang Han took that as a yes and hugged his neck with a giggle.

The two of them kissed passionately.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock on the door. It must be Fang Han’s assistant with his outfit.

Fu Jin wanted to break the kiss but Fang Han hugged him tightly and continued to kiss him with a smile. She opened the door slightly and stuck her hand out.

Her assistant saw her hand and quickly gave her the outfit.

“Ms. Fang, is there anything else?”

Bang!

Fang Han slammed the door shut, which meant that there was nothing else and her assistant should leave.

The assistant was speechless.

The two of them kissed for a long time until they were hot and heavy.

Fu Jin looked at her and said, “How long until the opening? I want you so badly.”

Fang Han leaned into his embrace and smiled alluringly.

“About ten minutes before you go onstage. Can you finish?”

Fu Jin laughed. He cupped her face and kissed her longingly.

Ten minutes? Was she mocking him for lacking stamina?

“It seems that Ms. Fang doesn’t remember my pace very well. We’ll keep time when we get home so you’ll know how long it takes for me to finish!”

The young man’s motivation was triggered.

He must be thinking of ways to prolong the time and torture her.

But Fang Han didn’t dodge. She took in his scent and whispered, “Fu Jin, are you in love with me?”

Fu Jin was stunned. He stepped back and looked at her in surprise.

He looked her in the eye but couldn’t figure out the passion in her eyes.

It made him feel as if she wasn’t looking at him, but through him to another man she missed.

“Fang Han, are you talking to me?”

Fang Han came back to her senses and revealed a bitter smile which she quickly retracted.

“Of course, I’m talking to you. Fu Jin, what are you thinking?”

Fu Jin looked into her eyes again but the intense passion seemed to have dissipated, leaving behind a slightly fake smile.

“Fang Han, you…”

Knock, knock, knock.

A knock on the door interrupted them.

It was Fang Han’s assistant. “Ms. Fang, something terrible has happened!”

Fang Han quickly collected herself and straightened her clothes before she opened the door.

“Tell me.”

“The clothes we prepared for the show today have all been dirtied. We can’t show them anymore.”

“How can such a low-level mistake happen?” Fang Han berated.

The assistant anxiously lowered her head.

It would be a joke if they couldn’t show the clothes meant for this fashion show.

“Where are the clothes? Show me.”

The assistant quickly led the way and told her what happened as they walked.

Some of the staff members were hungry and ordered takeout. They didn’t clean up after they ate, and someone soiled the clothes with the leftovers.

There was also a girl who had an argument with a model just now. The atmosphere backstage was foul.

Fang Han arrived backstage and saw the mess on the floor. Her clothes had been stained with oil and food remnants, and a few models were only half-done with their makeup.

She looked at the time. The show would begin in ten minutes and the backstage was a mess.

She rubbed her brows.

She had never encountered something so horrifying in all her years on the runway.

Fu Jin came out after changing into his outfit. When he saw the mess backstage, he immediately walked up to Fang Han and put his hand on her back.

“Don’t panic, Fang Han. Get the models to finish their makeup first. Show the unsoiled clothes first and get the models to change out of the soiled ones. Get the staff to fetch another batch of clothes to replace the soiled ones. We’ll think of a way to stall for time together.”

Fang Han’s brows furrowed and her face darkened. No one else dared to say a word.

“The clothes for every fashion show are pre-determined. We don’t mass produce any of the pieces. If we can’t clean the clothes in time for this show, the whole vibe will be destroyed. If word gets out, my reputation will be ruined!

Fu Jin said thoughtfully, “You only set the theme but didn’t publicize the style of clothes that will be shown. Outsiders will not know what clothes you will show, right?”

Fang Han looked at him in surprise, as if she had thought of something.

Fu Jin then said, “People expect novelty when they come to a fashion show. As long as the clothes fit the theme and look good, there’s no reason for women not to like them.”

Fang Han immediately ordered all the staff, “Find all the clothes that fit the theme of this show. Use your expertise to create ensembles to give them a different feel, like you are solving a problem from a different perspective.”

Her assistant said anxiously, “We’ll need to find the clothes, create different ensembles, put them on the models and then adjust the models’ makeup and hair. Ten minutes is not enough.”

Time was indeed a challenge.

Tang Beibei raised her hand weakly.

Fang Han thought that Tang Beibei was too cute to raise her hand before she spoke…

“Just say it.”

Tang Beibei said, “Then we’ll find something else to distract the audience and buy time. The seven of us, plus Fu Jin, are dancers. We can do an opening dance.”

“As long as the dance fits your theme, no one will know any better.”

“That works!”

Fu Jin asked, “What’s the theme of your show?”

“Early summer,” Fang Han said.

Fu Jin said to Tang Beibei, “The theme is early summer. I’ll give you two minutes to choreograph something with me. You guys think of something now. We’ll rehearse in three minutes.”

Everyone was stunned.

The few trainees who were about to dance were dumbfounded.

Choreography was already a challenge, and they were under so much time pressure.

But at such a critical moment, they didn’t complain and quickly got to work.

Tang Beibei thought that she was just suggesting an idea, but she was under a lot of pressure after asking Fu Jin to dance, especially when Fu Jin asked her to be his female lead.

Tang Beibei’s face went pale.. She was just trying to help Fang Han, not getting herself into trouble!
