Chapter 320: Beautiful Photographer
Xiao Lin took out her phone and texted Ouyang Jiahui, a happy smile flashing on her face: "Jia Hui replied, saying she heard you bought a new car, and she’s really happy. She agreed to join us at the gym tonight. That’s great, Liu Ningyan and Chen Xin are also at Thunderbird Company testing new programs. I told them about your car race tonight, and when I arrive at Thunderbird Company, I’ll go find them. That way, we’ll have four people cheering for you, so you won’t be lonely or afraid."
Xu Xiangbei laughed: "Big beauty, you’re organizing a cheering squad for me, huh? Thank you, should we invite Gu Xinyan too?"
Xiao Lin thought about it seriously and playfully blinked her eyes: "Good idea. Even though she’s not very mobile now, she’s a little celebrity. If she appears to cheer for you, it’ll have a star effect."
Xu Xiangbei shook his head, secretly chuckling to himself, silly girl, the situation with this car race is serious. It’s not just about having more people cheering that will help win."
Luckily, we’ve got external support from Jiangcheng, the car modification master Brother Hua Ji. With his help, we have a better chance of winning tonight’s race.
The Porsche sped quickly and, after passing two green lights, arrived at Thunderbird Company.
The Thunderbolt slid into the underground parking lot like a silver fortress riding on a chariot of fire and wind.
Xu Xiangbei asked with a smile: "Do you want me to take you upstairs?"
Knowing Xu Xiangbei was just being polite, Xiao Lin replied playfully: "Sure, if you want to."
Unexpectedly, Xu Xiangbei really turned off the car and got out, sticking to her like a plaster, cheekily grinning: "I just wanted to see what kind of photos a beauty like you is taking. Even if it’s not nudes, swimsuit photos would do."
Xiao Lin blushed, trying to get Xu Xiangbei to leave: "Aren’t you going to the film studio to see Gu Xinyan? Aren’t you afraid of being late?"
Xu Xiangbei looked unconcerned: "Haha, no rush, it’s almost lunch break soon. Their crew usually only has box meals. I don’t want to eat box meals. How about I take you all to Emperor’s Pavilion for a nice meal instead."
Xiao Lin had no choice but to walk to the elevator in her high heels: "I may not have time to accompany you to Emperor’s Pavilion. The photographer is specially invited from the United States, and we must follow their schedule. Jenny, the secretary, has already texted me to hurry up."
Hearing Xiao Lin mention Jenny, Xu Xiangbei hesitated a bit in front of the elevator door.
Jenny the secretary? Accurately speaking, it should be Officer Yang Zhenni. Is she still here disguised as a secretary playing role play?
I haven’t committed any crime, so why should I be afraid of her?
On the contrary, Yang Zhenni hiding her identity and posing as a secretary at Thunderbird Company must have unspeakable motives. She should be the one afraid.
Ding! The elevator door opened, and there was no one inside. Xiao Lin stepped into the elevator. Seeing Xu Xiangbei not following, her beautiful eyes looked at him with confusion, as if to ask, Are you coming in?
Eventually, Xu Xiangbei stepped into the elevator, standing beside Xiao Lin.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, the sound of hurried high heels came from outside. A sweet-looking beauty with a travel backpack came rushing in.
Xiao Lin kept pressing the elevator open button, preventing the door from closing and allowing the backpacked beauty to run into the elevator smoothly.
The beauty smiled at Xiao Lin and said: "Thank you."
Xu Xiangbei glanced at the beauty’s ample chest, swallowed, and quickly replied on behalf of Xiao Lin: "You’re welcome, it was just a small gesture."
The beauty nodded and smiled, giving Xu Xiangbei a slight sense of elation.
He jokingly teased the photographer: "A photographer from the US? Couldn’t they find anyone else? Had to get someone from America? I also know photography, maybe they should hire me. Do you think the photographer is a man with long hair, a long beard, and a pipe in his mouth?"
Xiao Lin thought it was disrespectful to mock the photographer, so she just smiled lightly without joining in.
Xu Xiangbei continued with a mischievous grin: "Remember, make sure he doesn’t take too revealing nude photos."
Seeing Xu Xiangbei’s straightforward comments, Xiao Lin blushed slightly and gently kicked him.
The girl riding the elevator with them acted unbothered, seemingly not noticing Xu Xiangbei’s remarks, which relieved Xiao Lin from feeling too embarrassed.
Ding, the elevator arrived at the twenty-eighth floor, where the photography studio was located.
As the elevator door slowly opened, Xu Xiangbei instantly saw Jenny standing in the hallway, holding a folder, vibrant and smiling at him.
She wore a blue Gucci professional suit, with elegantly sculpted calves and ankles, as if crafted from fine jade.
Her eyes glanced briefly over Xu Xiangbei and then quickly passed him, landing on the girl who shared the elevator ride.
Jenny smiled and said: "Jessica, I thought you might not make it today. What a coincidence that you all shared the same elevator. Xiao Lin, this is the photographer invited from the US, Jessica. And this is our model for today’s photoshoot, Miss Xiao Lin."
Xu Xiangbei was dumbfounded, staring at the young and beautiful Jessica. He realized that Jessica had heard all his earlier photography jokes, making him feel a bit embarrassed.
He never guessed that a young and attractive girl would be the photographer specially invited from America.
Jessica saw Xu Xiangbei staring at her dumbstruck. She smiled playfully: "Don’t worry, I won’t take her nudes, and I don’t have the big beard you talked about."
Xu Xiangbei wanted to explain something, but felt that any explanation would be futile.
He also wanted to follow Xiao Lin into the photography studio, but Jenny stopped him.
Jenny’s delicately made-up face bore an ambiguous smile: "Handsome, only authorized personnel here, you wouldn’t want to get me fired, would you?"
Watching greedily as Xiao Lin entered the studio, Xu Xiangbei helplessly asked: "She’s going to be photographed, and no one else can watch?"
Jenny shook her head apologetically: "All photos are company secrets, outsiders cannot observe."
Xu Xiangbei resigned: "Alright, if I can’t go in, so be it. Which floor are Liu Ningyan and the others on? I’ll go chat with them."
Jenny pointed her slender finger downstairs: "Their office is on the second floor. If you need anything, call me. Goodbye, handsome."
Having been ushered away from the studio by Jenny, Xu Xiangbei returned to the second floor. Just as he exited the elevator, he saw Liu Ningyan and Chen Xin waiting for him in the hallway.
Liu Ningyan, with her neatly arranged bob cut, looked pure and adorable. She smiled and took Xu Xiangbei’s arm, showing friendly affection.
"Brother Xu, come sit in our office; it’s your office too, you know."
Xu Xiangbei’s game, "Ancient Moon Red Dust," was exclusively released by Thunderbird Company across the internet, with its servers housed at Thunderbird Company. Considering the many bugs that needed fixing later, they set up a dedicated office for Liu Ningyan and the team on the second floor.
