Caught in Affairs with Superstar

Chapter 841 - 539: Farewell, Ning Yao (Part 3)

Zhou Yun had nothing much to say about it.

"I have my own standards for acting and choosing roles." She simply stated.

"Of course, Xiao Yun, your discerning eye for roles is well-known."

...

The shoot went very smoothly, and everyone was praising her for her excellent on-camera presence, saying the photos were beautiful and she looked like a goddess.

Somehow, at work, Zhou Yun no longer heard anything other than praise.

Everyone seemed to genuinely compliment and admire her.

But was it real?

Zhou Yun said goodbye to everyone with a smile and got into the car.

Suddenly, someone caught up to her.

"Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun!"

Zhou Yun almost closed the car door, poked her head out, and saw it was the photographer from earlier.

He smiled at her and said, "Xiao Yun, can I bother you for ten minutes? I have something to say."

This photographer was called Zuo Mo, a very famous photographer.

Zhou Yun nodded and asked, "Why don’t you come into my car? We can talk in here?"

Zuo Mo nodded and agreed.

Zheng Xiaojue and Cao Jun got out first to give them some space.

The car door stayed open as Zuo Mo got in and said to Zhou Yun, "I won’t beat around the bush; it’s like this, I’ve opened a photography studio. If you need any shoots, whether promotional photos or videos, you can come to me."

Zhou Yun suddenly realized he was here to advertise his services to her.

"Teacher Zuo, with your reputation, do you still need a client like me? I’m sure you’re in high demand," Zhou Yun laughed.

Zuo Mo said, "Well, I used to be with a signed company, and they helped connect clients. Now I’m on my own, so I need to find clients myself. If your friends need, you could recommend me. My skills are still top-notch in the country."

"Of course, that’s why I was surprised. With your reputation, just a word and many will seek you out."

"I don’t take just any job," Zuo Mo winked at Zhou Yun, "So I’ll count on you for this."

Zhou Yun nodded with a smile, "No problem. If I need anything or my friends do, I’ll call you."

Zuo Mo smiled, "Thank you, thank you. The first three times I’ll give you a friendship price."

"I’ll definitely take advantage of that discount," Zhou Yun said.

Zhou Yun later mentioned this to Zhou Lan, who explained, "Do you know why he’s so proactive in reaching out to you? It’s because he’s had a falling out with his company, and not just that, it ended very unpleasantly. His company is one of the largest in the country with many partners, and I heard they’re trying every way to block his future work."

"Oh? It’s that serious? What kind of conflict did they have?" Zhou Yun asked in surprise.

"It’s said Zuo Mo was unhappy with the revenue split, and it was a longstanding issue with his company."

"Is such a conflict worth pushing him to the edge like that?" Zhou Yun didn’t think Zuo Mo’s company should go to such lengths against him.

"Who knows? That’s just the news that’s come out. There might be other conflicting issues that haven’t been revealed yet."

However, this news helped Zhou Yun understand why Zuo Mo approached him about it.

She suddenly thought, "Then this Jinling Jewelry shoot, was it taken up by Zuo Mo himself or arranged by his company?"

"Not sure, the photographer was arranged by the magazine side in negotiation with Jinling Jewelry. All I know is the photographer’s fee was settled by Jinling Jewelry."

"Alright then."

But unexpectedly, Zhou Yun found herself caught in an unforeseen trouble because of Zuo Mo’s issue.

Three days later, Zuo Mo’s company suddenly released a statement accusing Zuo Mo of contract breach, accepting personal work, and shooting Zhou Yun’s endorsement ad.

Zuo Mo’s reputation online wasn’t prominent, but tagging it with Zhou Yun’s name turned it into news.

Many people paid attention and discussed this matter.

Zhou Yun got dragged into the conversation, but it didn’t negatively affect her. The issue wasn’t directly related to her. However, one aspect did concern her; Zuo Mo’s management company sent a legal letter to Jinling Jewelry, claiming Zuo Mo breached the contract by taking this shooting job and asking Jinling Jewelry not to use the photos from this cooperation, otherwise they would be sued together.

The impact on Zhou Yun was that if the shooting photos couldn’t be used, she would have to do a reshoot.

Zuo Mo also spoke up on Weibo, stating that the company had breached the contract first, the contract was already invalid, and he was undergoing legal procedures.

Regardless of who was telling the truth or lying, Jinling Jewelry ended up in a tough spot.

This shoot was meant to promote the next season’s main products. With both sides in a legal battle, who knew how long it would drag on? Even if Zuo Mo won the case, the photoshoot would be outdated and unusable by then.
