She could not be blamed for thinking that way. Su Xingqi's current boyfriend was Qin Mu. With Second Young Master Qin's capabilities, wouldn't it be easy for him to settle a fashion brand?
Unless he met someone more troublesome.
There weren't many people who could make Qin Mu feel troubled. Unfortunately, Lu Shifeng was one of them. The Lu family's Sharp Edge Group had crushed the Qin family in every aspect. This was the difference between a top-notch noble family and an ordinary one.
However, on second thought, Su Xingyu felt that she was overthinking things. Given Lu Shifeng's character, he might not stand up for her. After all, he was not the type of boy who would risk his life for his little girlfriend when she was bullied. Lu Shifeng was too calm. It was a kind of calmness that carried a hint of cruelty.
Su Xingyu shook her head to get rid of her wishful thinking.
She looked at the girl before her and greeted her with a smile, "Miss Jiang, is it? Hello, I'm Su Xingyu, Lin Weilong's assistant."
Jiang Zhenzhen reached out to shake her hand, still looking uneasy.
On the other side, Lin Weilong had already finished arranging the equipment and impatiently urged, "Jiang Zhenzhen, hurry up and change your clothes. The progress has already been delayed. If you continue to dawdle, when will you finish filming?"
Jiang Zhenzhen hurriedly left.
Su Xingyu looked at Lin Weilong unhappily. "Can't you be more polite to her?"
Lin Weilong sneered and looked at her from the corner of his eyes. "Why should I be polite to her? Young lady? Mind your own business first. You haven't passed the probation period yet, young lady!"
As he said that, he flashed a malicious smile at her.
Su Xingyu wished she could smash the camera lens in her hand on his face. No wonder she heard from her colleagues in the editorial department that this man had angered over ten assistants to leave within three months. No one would be able to stand his bad temper. She seriously considered whether she should follow the example of those exes and leave. Then, she heard Lin Weilong praise Jiang Zhenzhen exaggeratedly, "Wow, not bad. This outfit really suits you. It's much better than the Su Xingqi from yesterday. Come, stand under the soft light and let me take a look. Relax, just give me a few poses… very good."
Was there going to be red rain?
He actually said the words 'very good'!
Su Xingyu looked towards the source of the voice and saw that Jiang Zhenzhen had already changed into the set of clothes that Su Xingqi had worn yesterday. She was wearing a top with some lace embellishments along with matching shorts and long socks. The sweet and cute appearance of a young girl in autumn and winter was extremely vivid. Su Xingyu was also secretly amazed in her heart. This girl, Jiang Zhenzhen, looked unremarkable below the stage, but when she walked in front of the camera, she simply looked like a completely different person. Her interpretation of clothes was very accurate.
Her heart relaxed. She was initially afraid that Jiang Zhenzhen would not be able to take the photos well, but now it seemed that her worrying was unnecessary.
She cooperated with Lin Weilong, adjusted the angle of the light, and helped Jiang Zhenzhen tidy her long hair from time to time. Her movements were nimble, and she often understood what Lin Weilong meant with just a glance. She always adjusted everything before he spoke. There were even a few details that she had considered more carefully than him, and she had perfected the lighting and composition.
With the cooperation of the three, They completed the shoot successfully.
After changing her clothes and removing her makeup, Jiang Zhenzhen returned to her perturbed state. "Ah, were my photos alright?"
Lin Weilong lowered his head and browsed through the freshly printed photos without even lifting his eyelids. "So-so, barely usable."
His words perturbed Jiang Zhenzhen. "Are they not too good? If so, please point them out. I can reshoot…"
"Aren't you annoying?" Lin Weilong rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and leave after you're done with the shoot. Wouldn't I know if a reshoot is required?"
Did this mean… there was no need for a reshoot?
Uncertainty filled Jiang Zhenzhen's heart as she looked at Su Xingyu pleadingly. Did this man mean that there was no need for a reshoot, or did he want to replace her like how he did with Su Xingqi yesterday?
Su Xingyu felt that Lin Weilong's bad temper was hopeless. On account that they were working together, she told Jiang Zhenzhen in a soft and gentle voice, "The photos are very good, much better than Su Xingqi yesterday. This set of photos is not bad. Don't worry. Lin Weilong has a bad temper and doesn't know how to praise anyone."
Only then did Jiang Zhenzhen's pale face turn slightly better.
Lin Weilong, who was standing by the side, was displeased. He lifted his head from the camera and looked at Su Xingyu. "Who are you calling bad-tempered?"
Su Xingyu could not be bothered to argue with him. She comforted Jiang Zhenzhen while sending her out of the studio.
She turned around and almost bumped into Lin Weilong. She screamed in shock. "Ah! Why are you so close to me?!"
"I really couldn't tell that you're a hidden expert." Lin Weilong put on a fake smile and trapped her against the wall beside the door with one hand. "Where did you learn your photography skills from? Do you know how to use a camera?" An expert would know the moment someone made a move. Although he and Su Xingyu had only worked together once, her understanding of photography was simply shocking.
Jiang Zhenzhen's photos were not bad, but what he was more interested in was Su Xingyu.
Su Xingyu leaned against the wall and could not avoid him. Instead, she calmed down.
She pushed him away angrily. "Move aside first! I have a husband! Why are you leaning so close to me!"
Lin Weilong was slightly stunned. He looked at her with amusement and forced a confession out of her. "Tell me first. I'll let you go after I'm satisfied."
Su Xingyu rolled her eyes at him. She wondered if she was having a bad year recently. Why was it that everything was not smooth-sailing ever since Su Xingqi's coming-of-age ceremony? Why did she always encounter some weirdos?
She replied to Lin Weilong with a sense of revenge, "This is my first time in the studio, and my first time adjusting the lighting. My photography skills are self-taught. What else do you want to ask?" Want to investigate her background? No way!
As she said that, Lin Weilong looked shocked.
She admired his expression happily. Didn't this man always think that he was number one in the world? Now, he understood what it meant by there was always someone better out there!
Lin Weilong was skeptical. "Are you bragging?"
"You were the one who wanted to ask me. I told you, but you didn't believe me." She glared at him unhappily. "Move aside. I still have to get off work."
Lin Weilong really gave up, but his words were harsh. "Is this how you treat your superior? Aren't you afraid that I will fire you?"
Su Xingyu pushed him to the side and packed up her things to leave. She imitated his fake smile and said, "Fire me? I'm a skilled worker. Do you have the ability to find another one if you fire me?" After spending two days together, she had finally seen through Lin Weilong. He was a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. As long as she completed her work, he would not easily do anything to her.
She waved at him brightly and left. "Goodbye!"
"Oh, tsk." Lin Weilong was so angry that he did not know what to say. He had always been the one to criticize others. Who would criticize him?
"Wretched girl, since when did an assistant become a skilled worker?!" In the end, he could only yell at her back view unwillingly. After shouting, he shook his head with a laugh. He had initially thought it was boring to be a photographer in Dream, but he did not expect to meet such an interesting little girl. It was worth it.
