CHAPTER 201: CHAPTER 203: SHE HAS A WAY

Many people surrounding them could discern the meaning behind those words, and they looked at Su Xingyu in shock.

This girl named Su Xingyu speaks so recklessly! Isn’t she just a minor photographer? No family background, no connections, how dare she disregard Zhuang Heng like that and humiliate her openly?!

Zhuang Heng has probably never been humiliated like this in public in her entire life!

The whole place was silent, with eyes darting back and forth between Su Xingyu’s face and Zhuang Heng’s, waiting to see what would happen next.

Zhuang Heng’s face turned pale, and she subconsciously raised a hand, almost unable to resist slapping Su Xingyu. But in front of so many people, she could only preserve her dignity and restrain her anger, her chest rising and falling, stuck with anger that made her whole body tremble. "Good... very good..." She sneered several times before tremblingly pointing a finger at Su Xingyu’s nose, "Remember what you said today."

She turned around and hastily left the crowd.

The crowd buzzed with discussion about what had just happened, thinking Miss Zhuang probably exploded with rage, and she surely took a heavy note of Su Xingyu.

This girl named Su Xingyu, her future days will be difficult...

"Xingyu! Are you mad?!" It was Fang Luohua, can’t help but softly blame her, "How could you speak to Miss Zhuang like that! Be careful she might trouble you later!"

Su Xingyu paused, then smiled, "It’s okay, I know what I’m doing." She clearly heard the murmurs of the surrounding crowd, many of which were accusing her, accusing her as an insignificant girl daring to show disrespect to someone like Zhuang Heng. And Fang Luohua, after all those accusations, his concern was genuine, he truly cared about her.

Fang Luohua wanted to say more, but Su Xingyu had already bent her head to assemble her camera lens, "Alright, I’m really fine, let’s get to work quickly."

Fang Luohua sighed, feeling stifled and not knowing what to say.

The crowd gradually dispersed, with models and photographers each choosing scenes, communicating, and getting into the shooting work.

Su Xingyu had also assembled her lens, casually taking a few test shots, then roamed across the grassland with her camera, looking for suitable scenes and models.

There were about a dozen models present, of all ages and genders, among them were not only top-tier professional models but also several notable figures in their respective fields. This was also the aim of the current environmental public welfare advertisement, to call on people from all walks of life to show concern for the issue and create a beautiful world together.

Su Xingyu walked around and picked a female model, politely asking her, "Excuse me, may I invite you to be my model?"

The female model awkwardly glanced at her, showing a polite yet distant smile, "Sorry, I already have a photographer, he will be here soon."

Su Xingyu circled around several more times, asking a few other people, but without exception, they all refused her invitation.

What’s going on?

Is everyone that busy?

Su Xingyu slightly frowned, turning her head to look at the first female model she invited, who was at the moment sitting on the grass drinking mineral water and chatting with another model, not appearing busy at all.

While she was pondering, suddenly a mocking voice came from beside her ear, "Stop wasting your time, give up, Su Xingyu, no one will model for you."

Su Xingyu turned around to see Yun Xi, who had been at odds with her since joining the company, standing behind her, in a black tight shirt and jeans, the elastic material outlining her firm and well-rounded figure, full of energy and arrogance. Su Xingyu met her gaze, "What do you mean by that?"

Yun Xi chuckled again, "Oh, don’t you know what happens when you offend Miss Zhuang? Among all the models here, who dares to take your job? Didn’t you just declare that your model sister wouldn’t find a photographer? Ha, now your model sister is saying everywhere, whoever works with you is against Miss Zhuang! Hahahaha... Su Xingyu, this is ’do unto others as you would have them do to you.’"

"First, the matter just now started because of me, but claiming Su Xingqi wouldn’t find a photographer wasn’t something I could say alone.

"Second, let me repeat, Su Xingqi is not my sister, our relationship was severed long ago."

Su Xingyu looked at Yun Xi coldly, showing no intention of backing down.

Now she understood why it was so difficult for her to find someone, realizing there was nothing good about Zhuang Heng and Su Xingqi being in cahoots. Zhuang Heng, restrained by her image, couldn’t do certain things openly, but Su Xingqi, being her runner, could say and do them! The models present and various celebrities, perhaps aren’t genuinely afraid to break ties with Zhuang Heng, but neither do they have the need to tear themselves away for a mere minor photographer. After all, it’s just declining her photo invite, such a trivial matter, not worth offending the future madam of the Blade Group!

Yun Xi laughed gleefully, "Su Xingyu, do you regret it? Why don’t you go knee and beg for Miss Zhuang’s forgiveness, see if she’ll spare you a bite to eat! Hahahahaha..."

Su Xingyu said, "Trash."

"What did you say?!" Yun Xi’s face changed suddenly, "You called me trash?!"

But Su Xingyu didn’t want to waste more words with trash like that and turned around to walk away, leaving Yun Xi behind stomping her feet and shouting.

Though cursing felt cathartic, Su Xingyu was troubled by her current situation. If all the models refused to work with her, she didn’t know how she would complete this photography task?

In the eyes of those people, she was just an insignificant photographer, so small, what did she have to fight against Zhuang Heng?

She grasped her camera, looking around, slightly dazed.

Over there, Zhuang Heng was teaching Su Xingqi how to mount a horse, Su Xingqi’s nervous yet clumsy actions inviting laughter, yet Zhuang Heng remained incredibly patient, hand-in-hand adjusting the reins and stirrups for her. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhuang Heng always appeared gentle and considerate, as if she were the best woman in the world, fitting to be paired with the best man in the world.

Su Xingyu watched them for a while, seeing Su Xingqi’s movements gradually become more skilled, sitting on the horse less stiffly.

Yet she silently sighed, Zhuang Heng’s action wasted such a good photography material.

In fact, listening to Su Xingqi saying she couldn’t ride and was afraid, Su Xingyu already had a photography plan in her mind.

For an environment theme, as long as humans and nature coexist harmoniously, it’s fine, there’s no necessity for humans to dominate everything. Su Xingqi not knowing how to ride was also fine, her wonder and fear when facing the horse could actually be great material, through step-by-step guidance, capturing her process from being distant to becoming close to the horse in a series, presented as a layout.

In that way, it could create a special interpretation, more novel and interesting than traditional environmental photos.

It’s just a pity that Zhuang Heng, being the chief photographer of the Blade Group, didn’t understand this.
