With a bang, Qin Mu slammed his fist on the table, looking like he wanted to devour someone.
Su Xingqi pretended to pull him back and tried to persuade him. "Brother Qin Mu, don't be angry anymore. It's all my fault. I'm the one who caused trouble… I, I'll go out now…" As she said that, she pretended to stand up with grievances.
Qin Mu pressed her down. "Qiqi, sit here. Let's see who dares to call you out!"
After saying that, he turned around and looked at President Sun from Dream magazine agency. "President Sun, is this how your employees behave?"
President Sun also frowned. This Qin Family Enterprise was a big client and could invest many advertising fees in the agency. Now that Lin Weilong was offending people without any restraint, wasn't he pushing the money out? He hurriedly advised Qin Mu, "President Qin, I'm sorry. Xiao Lin is an artist. You know that artists all have bad tempers. He didn't mean to offend you, really."
He turned around and scolded Lin Weilong, "Xiao Lin, apologize to President Qin right now!"
Lin Weilong did not buy this. "I didn't say anything wrong. Why should I apologize to him?"
This sentence made President Sun so angry that he almost burst out. This photographer was just relying on the fact that he was the chief photographer hired by the agency to hold the fort. He was used to being a big shot and thought that he was the major player here!
"Xiao Lin!" He emphasized.
Seeing that the atmosphere was getting tenser, the representatives from Hua Die could not help but interrupt. "Forget it, forget it. It's just a small matter, so let's not talk too much. It's more important to have this meeting quickly. Everyone is quite busy, so let's not have any delays." Weilong took the photos for the advertisement, so they naturally had to help him. They could not let him down.
When President Sun saw that someone was trying to stop the fight, he somehow felt a sense of relief.
Initially, he didn't want to teach his employees a lesson in front of so many outsiders. Even if he didn't like Lin Weilong, there were some things that he could handle by himself. There was no need for him to let others watch the show. However, he had to take care of Qin Mu's emotions, so he acted like he was furious and berated Lin Weilong.
Now that representatives from Hua Die had helped him out, he took this opportunity to step down.
He first glared at Lin Weilong. "For the sake of Hua Die's President Zheng, I'll settle the scores with you later!" He then turned to look at Qin Mu apologetically. "President Qin, I apologize, but President Zheng is right. Time is of the essence, so why don't we have a meeting first and settle the cover issue as soon as possible?"
Qin Mu's face was fierce, but he also understood that this was Dream magazine agency and not the Qin Family Enterprise. With Hua Die's people glaring at him like tigers watching their prey, he wouldn't be able to gain any advantage even if he continued to bicker with them. Therefore, he gave a cold snort as a form of consent.
The meeting room returned to silence.
President Sun wiped his sweat and brought the topic back on track. "We were just talking about the photos for Qin Family Enterprise's bag. Could President Qin and Miss Su Xingqi please show us the photos?"
This was the topic they had discussed before Su Xingyu came in.
Qin Mu nodded and signaled Editor-in-Chief, Zhao, who was sitting beside the projector, to turn on the PowerPoint. Su Xingqi's figure immediately appeared on the projection screen on the entire wall. She was wearing expensive clothes and sitting elegantly in the VIP waiting area of the airport, drinking coffee. Beside her was a classic model of the Qin Family Enterprise's sheep-skin bag. This advertisement's hard photo, from its composition to its lighting, was impeccable. It made people gasp in admiration.
Qin Mu was very confident. "We invited the American Chinese photographer, King Claude, to shoot this. Everyone is well aware of King Claude's fame, right? Forgive me for being blunt, but it's far from what any photographer from Dream could compare to. This hard photo perfectly portrays the noble and exquisite style of the Qin Family Enterprise's bag. Furthermore, Xingqi's face is youthful, which makes the photo look very fashionable and perfectly compatible with the positioning of Dream's. I can't think of any photo more suitable to be on the cover than this one."
After he had finished his introduction, he looked at everyone in the meeting room confidently.
The person from Hua Die frowned imperceptibly. This photo from the Qin Family Enterprise was indeed very outstanding, especially Su Xingqi in the image. Her beautiful face coupled with her skillful and natural acting, captivated people.
"It's indeed an outstanding piece of work. I think it's enough to be placed on the cover," President Sun said.
He had supported the Qin Family Enterprise from the start. After all, Qin Family Enterprise had given him a lot of money, and he was very tempted. If Vice President Liu, who the company sent, had not been against him and insisted on using Hua Die's advertisement according to the order of arrival, this meeting would not have happened. Now that President Sun saw such an outstanding piece of work, he was naturally very clear about it.
The faces of the people from Hua Die turned even darker. President Zheng said, "I haven't seen Xiao Lin's work yet. It would definitely be even more outstanding."
Su Xingqi covered her mouth and laughed. "I heard that you found an unknown little model? President Zheng, not every model can pose for good photos when they have just entered the industry." She was still brooding over Hua Die removing her from the shoot, and her words could not help but carry thorns.
President Zheng said coldly, "How do you know if you haven't seen them?"
He was one of Hua Die's senior executives. Others might not know, but he had vaguely heard some information from the major shareholders in the company. Su Xingqi's revocation was entrusted to him by the people around the Young Master of Sharp Edge Group. How did she offend that god? So what if she had Qin Mu as her backer now? Qin Mu wouldn't dare to provoke that person from Sharp Edge Group!
Therefore, President Zheng was very confident. "Xiao Lin, take out your photo and let everyone see it." Hua Die could not lose this cover battle. He had already thought it through. No matter if Lin Weilong's photos were taken well or not, he would insist that it was better than Qin Family Enterprise's. Anyway, there was no universal standard to judge whether a photo was good or bad.
Lin Weilong didn't panic. He took out his record card and mocked, "President Qin, I'm not criticizing you, but you really don't know a thing about photography. How can you call this a good photo? You've never seen a good photo, right? Come, I'll show you what a good photo is!"
Too arrogant.
It was what everyone in the conference room was thinking.
Qin Mu's face sank. "What good pictures can a mere clown take?"
Lin Weilong chuckled and handed the card to Editor-in-Chief Zhao, who inserted the card into the computer. The screen soon showed the photos that he and Su Xingyu had completed together over the past few days—
Large gray tones.
The city looked like it was the end of the world. There were collapsed buildings everywhere and exposed steel bars. The dark sky before dawn shone down in a highly oppressive manner. Even a few dark brown wild vines were broken and withered…
Three was an intense sense of decline and suffocation.
However, in such a depressing atmosphere, a slim and graceful girl appeared.
