DAWN members were given a few days of rest after their shooting in H Town before they went back to work.
The group's recent single has been going very well in the charts.
A few music programs called them to perform their songs.
For that, Ning Wei and the others have been working very hard. They would show up in the company's studio to practice their singing and dancing.
The company saw that its fame had risen.
According to Manager Fu Ming Shi, the company planned to push another single while they were popular.
Hearing those words made the boys want to work harder.
The boys were aware that their popularity and fame would not last forever.
While the company still remembers its existence, it should come out with another song.
It would be best if they could win an award by the end of the year.
That day, Ning Wei was practicing her dance moves in the studio with the dance instructor alone.
Perhaps it was due to her gender. Ning Wei always felt that some moves were quite difficult for her to do.
Her instructor would tell her that she was not sharp enough.
Fortunately, Ning Wei's strength was her voice. Even if she was not that good at dancing, her voice could cover her weakness.
"Alright, you should rest now," the instructor said once the song ended.
Ning Wei wiped her sweaty face with her hand and frowned. "Teacher, I can still go for another round." She knew that there were a few parts that she did not nail well.
For their upcoming appearance in a show, Ning Wei wanted to work harder.
"You have worked hard," the dance instructor said. Before Ning Wei could argue, the instructor pointed at the side where Fu Ming Shi stood. "Besides… It seems like your manager is looking for you."
Ning Wei followed her instructor's finger. She could not hide her surprise when she saw her manager.
She was so focused on her practice that she did not see Fu Ming Shi walking in.
After thanking the instructor, Ning Wei walked over to Fu Ming Shi's side.
"You've worked hard." Fu Ming Shi handed Ning Wei a towel for her to wipe her sweat.
"Brother Fu, what are you doing here?" Ning Wei asked as she dabbed the sweat off her face. She then reached for the bottle of water on the side and drank half of its contents.
"I have a few things to discuss with you," Fu Ming Shi said. "First… Do you remember I asked you whether you wanted to try modelling?"
Ning Wei nodded. "You gave me a list and I've chosen one of them."
She remembered that company well, mostly because of the owner's story.
"I've talked to their management just now," Fu Ming Shi continued. "They wanted you to come over for a shoot test. If everything works well, they will sign a contract with you on the spot."
"Really?" Ning Wei could not hide her surprise.
At the beginning, her group members seemed to know what they wanted to do next. As for Ning Wei, she had never thought of trying something other than singing.
When Fu Ming Shi suggested she try modelling, she decided to let him handle everything and go with the flow.
Unexpectedly, she was the first to receive a solo work.
"When should I go over?" Ning Wei asked.
"They wanted to meet you in three days," Fu Ming Shi said.
Ning Wei nodded. "Alright. Send me the location later."
"I'll go with you," Fu Ming Shi said. "I won't feel at ease letting you go alone." His eyes fell on Ning Wei's body briefly before he quickly looked away.
Ning Wei's good looks and height made him suitable to become a model. That was the reason Fu Ming Shi suggested Ning Wei try modelling. However, Ning Wei's gender always made the manager worried.
Fu Ming Shi was worried that Ning Wei's identity would be exposed without him around.
If anything happened during that shoot test, he could always come up with some excuse to help Ning Wei.
Ning Wei nodded. "Alright. Then, Brother Fu, I'll have to trouble you to pick me up from my place in three days." Ning Wei was about to put down her bottle when she recalled that Fu Ming Shi had another matter to discuss with her. "What about the other things?"
Fu Ming Shi hesitated briefly. "The last time you joined that farming program, you were required to go live and sell some vegetables."
"Mhmm…" Ning Wei nodded again.
She remembered Fu Ming Shi telling her that the higher-ups were not too happy that she won that challenge.
They were supposed to help Ning Yue shine in that program.
It was arranged for Ning Yue to win that challenge.
Unexpectedly, someone came to her live stream and purchased all the vegetables she sold.
Just like that, everything was sold out, and she won the challenge.
Ning Yue, who was supposed to win first, finished second.
Even if the higher-ups were unhappy that they could not butter up to Ning Yue, there was nothing else that Ning Wei could do. After all, she could not control the people who bought her vegetables.
Later, Ning Wei learned that the show worked with her agency to investigate the buyer to see if that person was Ning Wei's fan.
However, the person who bought the vegetables was not an account that would interact with her. That person's account mostly followed business accounts. It was the first time that person had shown up in Ning Wei's live stream.
In the end, it was concluded that the person accidentally landed on Ning Wei's live stream and bought those vegetables.
The show could not do anything about it.
Hearing Fu Ming Shi mentioning that program made her wonder if she got into a trouble again.
"Well, you were singing a few songs for your fans," Fu Ming Shi said.
"Mmm… I have to do something to keep my fans on my live stream," Ning Wei said. "Brother Fu, is there anything wrong with that?"
"Not really." Fu Ming Shi sighed. "Someone saw that clip and thought that your voice would be suitable for a drama's soundtrack. I wondered if you would be interested in this?"
