Damn, How could my family be so wealthy?!-Chapter 326 - 325: Asking the Master to Come Out of Retirement

Chapter 326: Chapter 325: Asking the Master to Come Out of Retirement

Xuanxuan didn’t get a chance to respond to her question before Bai Wanting shifted her target to Su Mu.

"Su Mu, did you go on that trip with Xuanxuan?"

When asking Su Mu questions, Bai Wanting seemed to have more tact.

She did not barrage him with questions like she had with Jiang Xinxuan.

First, she posed a question, and upon receiving Su Mu’s nod of affirmation, the smile on Bai Wanting’s face became even more pronounced.

It seemed that Su Mu really was her savior.

The wedding dress she was wearing had been arranged by Su Mu.

Now, for the master photographer she was looking for, it seemed she had to rely on Su Mu as well.

Bai Wanting felt sure that Xuanxuan was not familiar with the master; otherwise, he wouldn’t have avoided answering her and kept looking at Su Mu instead.

In Bai Wanting’s eyes, this was clear—Xuanxuan couldn’t solve the problem and was seeking Su Mu’s help.

"Su Mu, then you must know who took Xuanxuan’s photos, right?"

Deep down, Bai Wanting was certain that Su Mu knew, but she still asked cautiously.

After another nod, the photos of Xuanxuan had been taken by Su Mu himself. Surely Su Mu wouldn’t fail to recognize his own work?

"That’s great, Su Mu! Could you please put me in contact with that master?"

"I know it’s a bit rushed, but please tell the master that as compensation, I am willing to offer additional financial recompense."

Bai Wanting truly wished to have the master photographer she admired take her most important wedding dress photo.

So much so that Bai Wanting hadn’t even considered whether the master was in need of money or not.

Logically, anyone close to Su Mu should not be short of money, right?

Therefore, the economic compensation Bai Wanting kept emphasizing might not mean much to the master at all.

Hearing her cousin mention money over and over, Jiang Xinxuan looked at Su Mu again.

Fortunately, Su Mu looked composed and showed no sign of annoyance.

Jiang Xinxuan thought that mentioning the possibility of more money to Su Mu did not seem to be something that would make him happy.

Was Su Mu someone in need of money?

The young heir of the Su Family, to be persistently told that she could pay a high price to employ him, sounded very distasteful.

Moreover, Jiang Xinxuan knew her boyfriend was not the kind of second-generation heir who lay back and relied solely on his family’s wealth.

Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu’s own earning ability was also very strong.

Like that time Su Mu played the stock market, didn’t he make thirty million in just three days?

Because Jiang Xinxuan had been to Huangtong City, she only knew a little about Su Mu.

Thirty million might not even be enough for Su Mu’s pocket money.

For Su Mu, the real money-making was in the land near subway line five.

Besides, with the system, earning money was an easy task for Su Mu.

Now it was a matter of whether Su Mu wanted to earn money or not.

After all, money truly wasn’t the most important thing for Su Mu.

Of course, all this couldn’t be entirely blamed on Bai Wanting.

She didn’t know that the master was Su Mu, after all.

Since Jiang Xinxuan and Su Mu had not mentioned it from the beginning to the end.

It was impossible for Bai Wanting to suspect Su Mu.

With Su Mu’s status, Bai Wanting would never guess that Su Mu and the master were the same person.

"Economic compensation? What price are you prepared to offer?"

Su Mu just found Bai Wanting somewhat amusing—she had started making offers without even knowing whom she was dealing with.

With the intention of teasing Bai Wanting a bit, Su Mu went along with her proposition and asked in response.

"What’s the price? Su Mu, how much does your master photographer friend usually charge for a photo shoot? I can offer double or even triple that amount."

If Bai Wanting had paid closer attention, she would have noticed that Su Mu had been speaking with a slight smile all along.

This wasn’t typical of Su Mu’s usual demeanor.

Although Su Mu generally didn’t come across as too serious, he certainly wasn’t the picture of breezy easiness he was now.

Unfortunately, Bai Wanting was so preoccupied with securing the services of the master photographer that she completely overlooked the subtle expressions on Su Mu’s face.

"I really need to think about this, it seems no one has ever been able to persuade my friend to come out of seclusion."

Feigning difficulty, Su Mu stroked his chin and actually looked as if he was deep in thought.

"Never come out of seclusion? Could your friend be an old man?"

"But that doesn’t make sense either. With such a high level of skill, how could your friend have never made a public appearance?"

"Besides, Xuanxuan’s photos were taken by that master; how could he have never come out of seclusion?"

Bai Wanting didn’t believe a word from Su Mu.

How could a master photographer with such high technical skill have never operated a camera?

Without hands-on experience, how is it possible to possess such high technical skills?

Technical skill, Bai Wanting firmly believed, is not something a master is born with, straight from the womb.

She knew that such skill is developed only through hands-on practice and gradual improvement.

Even the most talented individual wouldn’t be able to produce such perfect photos without actual experience, would they?

Bai Wanting felt that Su Mu was just teasing her.

Of course, Bai Wanting belonged to the class of people who were unaware of the system’s existence.

Naturally, she couldn’t understand that there indeed were exceptional beings.

Like Su Mu, who had no experience and no knowledge regarding photography at all.

Yet, with a single system check-in, he filled in all those gaps.

Not only did he fill them, but Su Mu also suddenly rose to the top of the photography world.

Now, Su Mu’s photographic skills were so good that even the grandmasters had to look up to him.

"Cousin, Su Mu is just teasing you,"

Seeing Bai Wanting so anxious, Jiang Xinxuan felt a bit of pity.

Since Su Mu hadn’t shown any objection earlier, Jiang Xinxuan knew that Su Mu didn’t mind her revealing the truth.

"Xuanxuan, what on earth do you mean?"

"You two stop talking in riddles; I really do want to sincerely hire the master."

Bai Wanting felt like she was no longer on the same wavelength as Su Mu and Xuanxuan.

While Bai Wanting was growing increasingly flustered, Su Mu and Xuanxuan remained cool and composed.

"Cousin, those photos of mine were taken by Su Mu. The master you’re looking for is Su Mu himself."

Jiang Xinxuan had no interest in teasing her cousin.

It was just that her cousin had been clinging to Su Mu, leaving Jiang Xinxuan with no opportunity to interject.

But now, faced with a direct question from her cousin, Jiang Xinxuan naturally revealed the answer.

Doing so would save her cousin the trouble of chasing after Su Mu to inquire about the master.

What’s far in the distance is often right before your eyes—the saying aptly described the current situation.

"Su Mu?"

"Xuanxuan, are you sure all the photos in your friend circle were taken by Su Mu?"

"Didn’t Su Mu just graduate from high school? Does Huadong International Middle School offer a special major in photography?"

"Logically speaking, high school shouldn’t have such courses, right?"

Bai Wanting was somewhat reluctant to believe Jiang Xinxuan’s answer.
