After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 185 - 186: Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing [6]

"There’s nothing else, you can go back and rest too. Hand over your work to another assistant and take a day off tomorrow; you can continue working on Wednesday," Leng Zimo said with a gentle wave of his hand.

As the chief executive assistant, if he worked overtime, Ailin naturally couldn’t escape it either.

In fact, outsiders only knew of his aloof reputation but didn’t realize that although he was strict with his subordinates, he was not a merciless taskmaster like Zhou Bapi.

"Okay!" Ailin didn’t refuse.

When it was time to work, she worked hard, and when it was time to rest, she rested properly; that’s how one could maintain good energy for the work ahead—this was the work ethic at Emperor View.

Watching her walk to the door, Leng Zimo suddenly remembered something.

"What was Luo Xiaoqian’s schedule like today?"

"Earlier, I sent her portfolio to Teacher Xu Xiaoyang, and he agreed to take some promotional photos for her!" Ailin glanced at her wristwatch, "At this time, they should still be taking pictures."

Leng Zimo withdrew his gaze, "You can go now!"

As Ailin left, he continued to sip his coffee.

This girl actually caught the eye of Xu Xiaoyang; it seemed he didn’t need to worry about the promotional photos this time.

Picking up his phone from the desk, Leng Zimo thought for a moment and decided not to call; instead, he sent a very concise text message.

"When you’re done, come upstairs to find me!"

...

...

Afternoon.

Photography Room One.

Teacher Xu pressed the final shutter button, "Okay, today’s shoot is all done!"

"Thank you, Teacher Xu!" Luo Xiaoqian immediately walked over, curiously looking toward his camera, "Can I have a look? Just a glance is fine?"

"Ha..." Xu Xiaoyang laughed at her enthusiasm, "Of course!"

He pulled up the photos and stepped aside from the camera, "Well, feel free to look!"

To the side, Yu Tong also leaned in curiously.

Luo Xiaoqian pressed the browse button, viewing the photos one by one.

"Wow, so beautiful!" Yu Tong exclaimed while looking at the photos displayed on the monitor, "Xiao Qian, your skin is really great; these shots are just like they’ve been retouched!"

It was one of Luo Xiaoqian’s initial barefaced shots that, even without a touch of makeup, she still looked remarkably beautiful in front of the camera.

"That’s because Teacher Xu is a skilled photographer!" Luo Xiaoqian modestly said.

"Don’t be so modest. Before, I worked with Su Jin for a few days, and you wouldn’t believe that despite looking so beautiful in her promotional photos, one picture would take several hours of retouching!" Yu Tong shrugged, "She pushed too hard when she first started; her features are truly pretty, but her skin is ruined, you can see the wrinkles from a meter away."

Luo Xiaoqian laughed, "It can’t be that exaggerated!"

"You should take a closer look next time!" Yu Tong giggled, then her expression turned serious, lowering her voice, "Xiao Qian, we should keep our distance next time we meet her. I’m not afraid to tell you the truth; don’t be fooled by her seemingly gentle façade—it’s just a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Do you remember Xie Lian, right? She was ruined by her!"

Xie Lian was also a fairly well-known actress, only recently caught on drug charges and since completely blacklisted by major TV stations.

Luo Xiaoqian was shocked, "Really?"

"The entertainment industry is complex!" Yu Tong solemnly patted her on the shoulder, "You might think Su Jin is innocent now, but I bet she already hates you to death. In the future, be careful not to give her any leverage against you!"
