Chapter 52

Jiang Weicheng was busy following Fu Chen's sign to change direction, and did not pay attention to the jealousy flying in Huo Xichen's words: "Oh, it's a photographer who has cooperated with the studio. He has drunk too much, so I'll take him back."

"Drunk?" He felt even worse now. Late at night, the drunk photographer, she even sent someone home?

"Well, I'm here soon. I won't tell you first. I'll look for you later. Be good." There were small roads in front of me, and I had to turn from time to time. She had to concentrate on driving. After a few instructions, she hung up the phone first, and then asked Fu Chen how to drive later.

Fu Chen pointed the way, leaned over there and looked at her with his forehead: "Boyfriend?"

"Yes." The road was too dark, Jiang Weicheng turned on the high beam and nodded while driving carefully.

"I seem to have heard that Mr. Jiang's boyfriend is much younger than you and is still studying abroad?"

Jiang Weicheng took the time to glance at him: "Who did you hear me?"

"Forget it, my colleagues from "The Legend of the World." Fu Chen's eyes fell on her face, his eyes fluttering, "But Mr. Jiang, you really spoil your little boyfriend. The tone of coaxing people just now is completely different from the way you usually talk. I envy your boyfriend."

Jiang Weicheng did not respond and slowly stopped the car: "It's here." She said, looking at the surrounding environment. The old community was open in a narrow lane. There were no guards at the door, and cars and people could pass at will.

She always felt that with Fu Chen's income, she would not live in such a residential area.

"Thank you." Fu Chen noticed her gaze and his face closed a little, "Mr. Jiang, do you remember that you promised me an hour?"

"Don't worry, I won't forget the promise I made. But it's too late today and you have drunk a lot of wine. Tomorrow you can come to the studio to find me. I have time during lunch."

"Okay, then see you tomorrow." Fu Chen pushed the door and got out of the car, went to the back row to get the photography bag, turned around and walked towards the community.

The street lights in the community were dim, and his figure melted into the darkness for a moment.

Because he was not very familiar with the surrounding roads, Jiang Weicheng turned on the navigation with his mobile phone and drove the car again after selecting the route.

The way back was even more empty. Half an hour later, she had already returned to the apartment. She took off her high heels and coat, poured herself a glass of water, and threw herself on the soft sofa.

After a busy day, I feel exhausted.

It is said that starting a business is the hardest. She has funds, connections, and like-minded partners. She has a higher starting point than many people, but she is still so tired that she has been doing so.

But when I was so tired, I miss Huo Xichen very much.

She sent him a message: Are you still free? I just got home and I plan to wash it first and then call you a video.

The other end almost replied in an instant: OK, I'll wait for you.

In early autumn, the temperature was pleasant at night. She took a shower, changed into short-sleeved home clothes and trousers, opened all the windows in the living room facing the sofa, and then curled up on the sofa, took her cell phone and called Huo Xichen to video call.

He quickly answered, with a large green lawn in the background, and a white building not far away, looking like a hospital.

"I'm home. What kind of photographer was that one just now? Why did you ask you to send him home?"

He sat on the bench, wearing a long white coat from the hospital, his forehead was slightly dispersed, his brows were slightly frowning, his expression was a little serious, but his eyes were a little aggrieved, and he seemed to want to be angry but afraid that this would make him look very immature, so he endured it, which made his expression look a little weird.

"It's a photographer who has a collaboration with the studio. His name is Fu Chen. There will be a dinner party tonight. Thanks to him, otherwise the orders that were temporarily out of trouble would not be able to be handled so easily."

She didn't pay attention when she was driving, but now she saw him asking again, how could she not know what he was thinking, so she told him the whole story, "Don't be jealous, I don't like anyone except you."

Hearing her rare words of love, even through the camera, he still blushed, his fair cheeks were pink, and his eyes were particularly eye-catching: "His name is Fu Chen? This name sounds familiar."

"Well, it was him who took the interview photos for me before - the group you praised for taking good photos."

"Oh." He secretly wrote down the name and prepared to search the other person online later to see what he looked like.

"What about you, is the internship going smoothly?"

When talking about work, he suddenly became more energetic between his eyebrows and eyes. She could tell how much he liked the job just from his expression. Because of the special nature of his career, he could not tell her detailed cases, but he could share his feelings with her.

I am very busy every day, but I can learn a lot and feel very satisfied and fulfilled.

"I'm all fine here, except for missing you very much." At the end of the day, his topic revolved around.

She leaned on the sofa and chuckled: "Every time you say you miss me very much, how much do you miss me?"

"What do you think?" This time, he felt very wronged. He thought she was almost depressed, okay!

She actually knew it and knew it in her heart, but for some reason, she just wanted to tease him, but she didn't know what was wrong. Maybe after being with him for a long time, she had such evil and fun.

After teasing the puppy, she changed the topic: "You said you had some trouble before, do you want to tell me now?"

He hesitated for a moment and said something: "There is someone who has not fulfilled any obligation since I was born. I didn't even think I would meet him in my lifetime, but it was just like that, we met..."

The reason is very simple, because his name was not actually chosen by Huo Feifei, but by him. "He is sick and is in the hospital where I am currently internship. He wants me to visit him occasionally, but I don't want to see him. He has long had his own family. What am I..."

Although he did not say who that person was throughout the whole process and the whole narrative process was very chaotic, she still understood.

Huo Xichen probably met his biological father.

"His family always comes to me, blame me for being cold-blooded, saying that he always wants to make up for it. But to me, it makes no sense at all. I don't need his guilt or his compensation..."

He said, looking at the camera, "Do you think I'm cold-blooded?"

"Of course not." She answered him seriously, "As you said, he has not fulfilled any obligation since you were born, and now he should not demand his rights. Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural states, and this should not be a reason to force another person. You should obey your heart, not the so-called morality."

Because this man started to be in chaos and ended up abandoning, he almost couldn't grow up alive.

Such a young child suffers from endless cold and violent force from his biological mother every day. Every time she thinks of this, she feels heartache and angry.

Relying on her to have compassion for his biological father?

Haha, it's never possible.

Some people are born unworthy of being forgiven!

When the call ended that day, he told her that although it was difficult to leave her, and although he missed her very much and suffered every day, he still thanked her for asking him to reconsider whether to study abroad.

Just like she said, at his age, being able to break out of his original environment, look at the world, and experience different lives is a very meaningful thing for his entire life.

She was working hard for her dreams, and he was working hard for his own dreams. It was no longer just a single thing to become a man worthy of her. The starting point of his efforts became richer, and his heart seemed to be more fulfilling.

She looked at the boy in the camera. He seemed to be more mature than last time he met, not only on the outside but also on the inside.

Good farewells are always particularly easy for people to grow.

"Well, I'll see you again soon, come on, Xiao Chen."

****

These days, Jiang Weicheng has become even busier because the garment factory has made her particularly concerned about this order. She is afraid that the other party will disobey it. She has nothing on the surface, but she cut corners privately or deliberately delays.

So after the clothing factory starts production again, she will send someone to check the production progress every other day, and occasionally she will go there in person if she has time.

Under such high-intensity "communication", the clothing factory delivered the goods before the Mid-Autumn Festival, about ten days earlier than the originally planned National Day.

Jiang Weicheng went to the acceptance personally and asked Guan Yuqing and Zhang Wei's assistant to go to the other rented packaged and shipped warehouse in the suburbs with the car, intending to send out all the orders for online reservations before National Day.

Jiang Weicheng brought Fu Chen again because she had a dinner with the clothing factory manager at night.

Fu Chen came to the studio on time during lunch. Jiang Weicheng invited someone into his office and asked Guan Yuqing to make two cups of coffee and wait for him to speak.

He was a little embarrassed. After Guan Yuqing put down her coffee and went out, he asked her if she was interested in raising a photographer in her own studio.

Jiang Weicheng expected that he should have something to ask for him, otherwise he would not have been so happy to go to a dinner with her the day before, but what the other party said now still surprised her.

"Teacher Fu, if I remember correctly, you expressed your desire to cooperate to my studio about three months ago. If it weren't for the sake of rewards, you might not even sign a contract. Why are you now..."

"At that time, I was short-sighted and thought that 'orange' was just a new brand and a pure online sales model. I always felt that it was not stylish enough and would lower my grade."

Jiang Weicheng:...

This doesn't sound like a good word...

"Sorry, I mean, these are just my unilateral bias. Since its establishment in May, Orange has seen a sharp increase in sales, reputation, and market share.

And I know that at the end of October, you will be planning the first costume show of Orange. I roughly know who is on your invitation list - this will be a wonderful show, a show that can push Orange into the fashion circle in one fell swoop.

To be honest, in my eyes, the 'orange' is a powerful black horse. Since I have taken this opportunity, there is no reason to miss this black horse. At present, I am only responsible for shooting some women's clothing, because this is the appointment, and the style is up to you—" He paused when he said this.

"So?" Jiang Weicheng looked at the other party, "Do you want to sign an exclusive contract with the studio to get more options?"

To put it bluntly, the studio's sales are stable and the speed of rising rapidly. Her next plan is to create a unique style of the brand, and this step is nothing more than two aspects.

The first is the fashion show, which is the fastest way to enter the fashion circle, and the second is to invite celebrity artists to endorse it. What Fu Chen is interested in now is probably two aspects of this stage.

It’s not that “Orange” is so powerful that it can attract independent photographers of his level, but if he doesn’t express his opinion now, it will be difficult for him to enter the core circle of “Orange” after a while.

At that time, "Orange" would naturally choose more famous photographers.

If you have not experienced the storms of struggle together, who will treat you as your own person?

To get it, you must first pay. What Fu Chen values ​​is the future of "orange".

"I have to say, you are a very insightful photographer." Jiang Weicheng was not humble at all.

Fu Chen smiled: "So, what does Mr. Jiang mean?"

"I welcome you to officially join the Orange team. It is very cost-effective to raise you. After all, in addition to being good at photography, you also have a good alcohol tolerance. The PR department's recruitment of new products is not so urgent for the time being."

Fu Chen:...?

At this time, Fu Chen felt that Jiang Weicheng was probably just telling a joke. Before, he blocked the wine and was just a one-on-the-spot support, but later, he realized that he was too naive.

Lake banquet.

After drinking the fourth glass of red wine, Fu Chen's face was still not revealed.

Today, because the order was finally delivered, Jiang Weicheng would no longer send people to watch the progress. The manager was so anxious that he was staring at him. Even other orders that could have done a little trick, he was so stern that he didn't dare to paddle casually because of the "Orange" people.
To be continued...
