Chapter 554: Chapter 554

After the competition ended, Han Mingyue immediately called Zhen Yu’s mobile phone as soon as she left the venue!

"What are you up to, Xiao Yu?!"

"What else could I be doing at this time? Naturally, I’m working on a script for calligraphy practice! Has your competition ended?"

"Yes! It’s over! I’ll rest tomorrow, and the awards ceremony will be in the morning the day after!"

"How do you feel about it?"

"Pretty good, I think I might win an award."

Although Han Mingyue was confident about herself, she came from a small place and did not know much about the strength of other contestants, so she didn’t dare to be too certain in her statement.

However, Zhen Yu confidently responded from the other end of the phone: "Be more confident! Remove the ’might’!"

Han Mingyue just laughed out loud!

"Heh! Why do you have more confidence in me than I do!?"

"No reason! Just intuition! You know what intuition is, right?"

"...What did you say?"

"I said it in Hai City dialect, which means ’you know,’ do you understand?! That’s the only phrase I know! Hehe..."

"Alright! I trust your intuition. I want to go out tomorrow during my day off, what should I bring back for you?"

"Hmm... Hai City! The southern snacks seem quite famous, maybe bring some of those back!"

Always thinking about eating! If there’s no more food, then it’s truly gone... Han Mingyue wanted to bring back something more memorable for her, but she didn’t mention it over the phone.

"...Got it, you better get back to your writing! I won’t disturb you any longer." The source of thɪs content is novel(ꜰ)ire.net

"Okay! Then you hang up first, I’ll call you again tonight."

Although it’s winter, the skies in the south don’t turn dark as early as in the north.

So after hesitating for a moment on the street corner, Han Mingyue decided to explore the nearby blocks! If she couldn’t find anything suitable and liked for Zhen Yu, she could venture further tomorrow.

Thus, Han Mingyue strolled and looked around, searching for objects of interest while deeply experiencing the unique charm of the southern city of Hai City, which was different from her hometown and the Capital.

Until a fragrant scent reached his nose, Han Mingyue subconsciously turned his head following it!

Redbrick walls, black-framed floor-to-ceiling windows, very stylish decorations.

Through the transparent, crystal-clear glass, it seemed like many small bottles were placed on a shelf inside. Curious, Han Mingyue pushed the door open and quickly realized what was being sold.

It turned out to be perfume.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yu doesn’t seem to like making herself smell too fragrant...

After a brief glance around, Han Mingyue smiled and left the perfumery.

Continuing forward, there were all sorts of shops.

As the evening lights were just starting, a hungry Han Mingyue sat down in a quaint little wonton shop.

After ordering, he sat quietly in a corner, organizing his thoughts from the past few hours.

"Hey, handsome! Why are you shopping alone?" Suddenly, the chair opposite Han Mingyue was pulled out, and a fashionably dressed man with neatly trimmed stubble sat down very familiarly.

He started talking right away, "Are you just wandering around or have you not found something that suits your taste? I know this area well! Tell me what you want to buy, and I’ll recommend where you can find it!"

But Han Mingyue didn’t fall for it, cutting straight to the chase: "We’re strangers, if you have something to say, just say it!"

"Ha ha! You’re really straightforward! I can tell from your accent that you’re from the northeast!"

While laughing, the man took out a business card from his pocket, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it towards Han Mingyue.

Without a word, Han Mingyue picked up the business card and examined it, "Model agent?"

"It seems I need to introduce myself again! I’m the ’chief’ model agent at the New Era Model Agency! You can call me Brother Zhang!"

"You’re looking for me because..."

"You look young, are you still in high school? Visiting relatives in Hai City?!"

"Um," Han Mingyue responded vaguely.

Brother Zhang laughed lightly, not minding much, "So young yet already over 180 cm tall! Handsome and with a good figure! You’re naturally a clothes rack! Oh my! Your temperament is also quite unique!"

Despite being mature and reserved, Han Mingyue couldn’t help but blush a bit from the direct compliments.

Seeing his reaction, Brother Zhang thought there was a chance and quickly took the opportunity to pitch: "I see great potential in you, what do you think?! Have you ever thought about entering the modeling industry?! I think you’re born for this job! Just sign with me, and I guarantee to groom you!"

However, Han Mingyue shook his head without any hesitation, "I never thought about being a model!"

"That’s okay if you never thought about it before! Now you can consider it! Let me tell you! This year, the first national male model competition will be held! The winner can represent the country in the annual World Male Model Competition! Think about it! What an honor and achievement that would be!"

Han Mingyue remained silent, but his expression remained calm as he looked at Agent Zhang, clearly indicating, "Who are you trying to fool? Winning isn’t that easy!"

Agent Zhang understood his look and couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

"Wow! This kid is young but not easy to fool!"

After a moment, Agent Zhang organized another wave of persuasive talk: "Honestly, modeling is quite simple! After all, you have such good physical attributes! You just need to enhance your basic training a bit, learn some catwalk skills and that’s it! Although there’s not much time this year, it doesn’t matter if you don’t win an award! As I mentioned, this competition is held annually! As long as you work hard, I guarantee you’ll make it into the top ten next year!"

Han Mingyue politely listened to Agent Zhang’s lengthy speech, but his thoughts didn’t change at all.

"Sorry, I have no interest in being a model at all!"

Seeing that he couldn’t be persuaded, Agent Zhang switched tactics!

"You really don’t know what’s good for you! Do you think just anyone walking on the street can be discovered by an agency? This is a huge stroke of luck, let me tell you!"

Han Mingyue remained silent, letting Agent Zhang talk.

"I’ve been following you from the perfumery, walked for over an hour! After observing you for so long, I find you truly meet all the requirements for a male model! How about this! Give me your parents’ contact information, I’ll communicate with them! This involves your future, it really cannot be taken lightly!"
