Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 289 - 302: War Among Women

Xia Ling is indeed famous for being hard to please; clearly such an innocent and lovely girl, yet she exudes a picky vibe. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Su Xingyu thought of this and smiled slightly, "I’m not sure she’ll agree, but she really likes the photos I took, so I should have a chance. Also, I plan to ask Ouyang Yi to shoot a set as well. Given his fame in the fashion world, he’s also of cover status. At least one of these two will agree, right?" If neither agrees, she can only resign herself to bad luck.

"All right, all right," Cang Er agreed wholeheartedly, "Ouyang is our signed model at Cloud, how dare he not agree? Humph."

So Su Xingyu felt at ease, left Cang Er’s office, and went straight to find Ouyang Yi and Xia Ling.

Ouyang Yi’s side was easier to handle. As soon as he heard it was to help her, and with the editor-in-chief also strongly supporting it, he agreed without hesitation.

Xia Ling, on the other hand, was a bit haughty, "Hum, ’Cloud’, didn’t they think Ah Chen’s conditions were too outrageous last time? Didn’t Ah Chen just specify more than forty brands of beverages, flowers, humidifiers, and carpets! Is that so petty? I’m the one who doesn’t want to go!"

Su Xingyu: "..."

Xia Ling leaned in and cuddled her arm, acting coquettishly, "Xingyu~ how can they bully people like this? I ask for Dalia’s lemon water, but they don’t give it to me. If I drink other water, I’ll feel bad!"

Su Xingyu was simply speechless. She began to wonder if coming to Xia Ling was a mistake? Maybe she should just use Ouyang Yi alone?

"I don’t have Dalia’s lemon water here either," she looked at the cute girl clinging to her like a koala, "Nor do I have the specified bouquets, carpets, humidifiers, I’m poor."

"How can you be like this... Xingyu, you’re so mean..." The girl looked at her aggrievedly, her eyebrows and nose almost wrinkling together.

"I’m really poor," Su Xingyu remarked righteously, "There’s a hateful woman in the company forcing my hand, so I had no choice but to ask ’Cloud’ for help. I want to take a series of photos to completely overshadow that hateful woman’s reputation, to let the entire photography world know who is the sharpest photographer! It’s already nice of ’Cloud’ to help me; how could I have the nerve to make demands? I don’t even have the manpower to meet your conditions, Lu Shifeng’s stinginess you are not unfamiliar with."

She decisively took a jab at Big Boss Lu, better than facing this girl’s endless demands!

Now is a critical time, she’s busy pushing her career forward, how can she have the energy to fuss over these?

"I see..." Xia Ling’s exceptionally beautiful face drooped.

Su Xingyu regretfully said, "Forget it, I guess it’s not meant to be. I originally wanted to use this new camera to take a good set for you, its phantom feature is so much fun."

After saying that, she pretended to leave.

"Hey, don’t go!" The naïve girl hurriedly grabbed her, torn and hesitant, "But, but, should I agree to ’Cloud’ just like that? How embarrassing."

"Embarrassment is on Chu Chen, not you." The little devil tail swayed behind Su Xingyu as she tempted her gently, "Those conditions are all he put forward, just pretend you don’t know anything!"

Heaven knows, she was originally such a kind girl, but ever since marrying Lu Shifeng she has been pressured into blackening step by step, now she even learned to lie! Boo hoo.

Su Xingyu mournfully paid homage in her heart to her once pure self.

Xia Ling didn’t hesitate for long; after all, she truly loved Su Xingyu’s photos, which always made her look amazing!

"Fine, for your sake, I’ll agree with them this time," Xia Xiaoling proudly announced, "As for those forty-odd things, let them make it up later. Next time they ask me, it’ll be eighty."

Su Xingyu silently paid homage in her heart to the Cloud magazine, smiling as she praised Xia Xiaoling for being smart, all was well.

Time was set, location secured, shooting began.

Xia Ling and Ouyang Yi, one is a super diva, the other a supermodel; both have world-class professional qualities, making the shoot go smoothly with Su Xingyu.

Photos were quickly developed.

Cang Er received them, eager to give Su Xingyu 108 likes, "Look, look! Now these are what you call photos! What crap were those other people taking? Xingyu, return to Cloud, whatever treatment Feng Jian gives you, I’ll double it!"

"Lu Shifeng... is my husband..."

"I really want to encourage you to divorce," Cang Er sighed unhappily and let Su Xingyu go.

After working hard for half a month on these photos, when Su Xingyu returned to the photography center, Feng Jian’s new camera was already on the market.

Advertising used Zhuang Heng’s night scene red cape set, flooding the streets everywhere.

During a meeting, Mr. Yang couldn’t close his mouth from smiling as he praised Zhuang Heng in front of everyone, "Thanks to Miss Zhuang, the sales of the new camera have exceeded expectations. Miss Zhuang, the PR department is asking if you’re free recently, they want to seize the opportunity and host a workshop, inviting you to teach photography enthusiasts how to achieve the effect in the promotional photos using the new camera—there are a lot of inquiries on the website lately."

"I told you Miss Zhuang is the best," Yun Xi proudly glanced at Su Xingyu.

Su Xingyu remained expressionless, heh, the best?

Considering the timing, ’Cloud’ and Xiaoling, Ouyang should be making moves soon?

In the meeting room, Zhuang Heng’s eyes fleetingly passed over Su Xingyu, a faint smile on her lips, "Alright, but with so many photography enthusiasts, I can’t handle it alone. Would it be possible for everyone to help me out? Act as assistants? Yun Xi, Xingyu?"

Named, Yun Xi beamed, repeatedly saying it was her honor.

However, no one in the meeting room cared about her flattery, instead, everyone’s gaze fell on Su Xingyu sitting diagonally across from Zhuang Heng.

Zhuang Heng’s request was clearly intended to humiliate Su Xingyu!

A gold-star level photographer serving as an assistant to another gold-star level photographer?

This is acknowledging one’s lower status!

Clear distinction!

Will Su Xingyu swallow this insult?

"That’s not quite right, Miss Zhuang," the one who spoke was Fang Luohua, ever since Su Xingyu joined the company and Mr. Yang handed her to him, he has always protected her, "I’ll assist you instead, Xingyu just joined the company not long ago, she’s also a young woman, cut her some slack."

"Cut some slack?" Zhuang Heng laughed again, gracefully poised, though her words were barbed, "Precisely because Xingyu joined later, she needs more opportunities to practice. Besides, didn’t she do a good job with her night scene series? She can help explain some basic points, Fang Luohua, I remember you shot the daytime street scenes this time, right? Actually not as fitting as Xingyu."
