Perhaps realizing that his gaze was too intense and fearing that it might scare the other person,

Zheng Yuan reined in his stare and instantly switched to a formal demeanor, rummaging through his messy pockets until he finally found a crumpled business card.

“I am the chief photographer for Beauty Magazine…”

Zheng Yuan said, pausing deliberately while keeping his eyes on the girl in front of him.

“Oh.” Su Li responded nonchalantly. “And?”

Zheng Yuan did not see the reaction he had expected on her face; instead, he was taken aback by her response.

“And?” Zheng Yuan shouted exaggeratedly, “Beauty… there is a beauty, across the waters… a beauty…”

But seeing the genuine confusion in Su Li’s eyes, Zheng Yuan remembered another possibility, “You might not know about Beauty Magazine…”

“Should I?”

“Oh, my god… you really don’t know about our magazine…” Zheng Yuan looked at Su Li as if she was a curious new creature.

In Capital City, it was surprising someone hadn’t heard of Beauty, which was a trendsetter within the fashion industry, a leader, and a trend indicator…

Looking at the girl’s outfit, which was quite sophisticated, she didn’t seem to be ignorant.

However, Zheng Yuan quickly became excited again, throwing all his earlier doubts aside.

He asked Su Li enthusiastically, “May I take a few photos of you?”

When Zheng Yuan spoke, he never considered he might be rejected.

After all, as Beauty’s premier royal photographer, countless celebrities and big shots begged him to take their photos, often without success.

He had already imagined how he would shoot her, growing more excited at the thought, and anticipating the new wave of popularity the finished photos would trigger.

“Of course… not…” Su Li smiled, then mercilessly rejected him.

Of course not, how could she know whether this man was telling the truth?

Even if he was, just because he asked to take her photo, did that mean she had to agree? Who decided that?

The pride hidden in Zheng Yuan’s eyes was clearly visible to Su Li, but what of it…

“What?” Zheng Yuan was taken aback by the rejection, his surprised look combining humorously with his unkempt beard.

However…

Su Li turned her head and glanced several times at a glass cabinet nearby.

There might still be a chance for negotiation.

“Actually, it’s not completely impossible… there’s no such thing as a free lunch, you should understand that saying, right?” Su Li said, raising an eyebrow.

The sourc𝗲 of this content is frёeωebɳovel.com.

Zheng Yuan clutched his SLR camera in a daze.

Exactly, that was the look he had been searching for, the feel he had longed for.

“In a nutshell, taking photos is possible, but it’s not free… you need to pay some money…”

Su Li was very direct; in other words, it cost money to take photos.

“No problem…” Zheng Yuan agreed immediately.

This time it was Su Li’s turn to be surprised; she thought he might refuse and walk away or perhaps haggle over the price, but he agreed more promptly than expected.

But if you really thought Zheng Yuan was easygoing, you were bound to be at a disadvantage.

In the industry, who didn’t know the devilishly sharp-tongued Zheng Yuan, whose harsh critiques were well-known.

And yet, countless people were still queuing up, pulling strings, hoping Zheng Yuan would shoot for them.

His title of “Hand of God” was not for nothing.

Every time he took a photo, he captured the most beautiful aspects of the subject.

But now, he was not easily persuaded to take photos anymore.

“Just follow my instructions for the shoot, and the bracelet in the display window will be yours.”

Zheng Yuan had noticed several times that Su Li’s gaze would inadvertently drift to the bracelet in the display cabinet; even a fool could understand, it was surely her favorite.

Both parties were satisfied with this outcome.

“Like this… good, change the pose… very good….”

Su Li’s performance filled Zheng Yuan with admiration; she was truly blessed by God for this line of work, a natural.

Her performance surpassed that of professional models.

Working with her, in just over ten minutes, they had snapped hundreds of photos without any hint of awkwardness or constriction.

Zheng Yuan felt exhilaratingly refreshed… a feeling he otherwise only got from collaborating with international celebrities.

“Is this really your first time modeling?” Zheng Yuan didn’t realize it was already the umpteenth time he had asked.

Holding the newly acquired star bracelet, Su Li impatiently slipped it onto her wrist and casually replied, “No…”

“If there’s nothing else, I’ll be leaving.”

Satisfied, Su Li glanced several more times at her wrist, then turned and headed toward the exit of the mall.

“Wait… let me give you my business card….”

“Click, click…”

In a corner unnoticed by Su Li, a woman with a face full of rage was fervently snapping photos of Su Li and Zheng Yuan with her phone.

“Let’s show everyone the true face of the beauty scholar… see if anyone still likes you…”

Jealous words continually spilled from her mouth.

It was only after Su Li had left that the woman emerged from hiding.

It was none other than Su Mo, who had been out of the limelight for so long.

After Su Li was accepted into Jing University, Su Mo, for reasons unknown, applied exclusively to universities in the Capital City.

Eventually, with a hefty tuition fee, she managed to secure a spot in a less prestigious college where the annual educational expense strained the Su Family’s budget, naturally reducing her monthly allowance significantly.

Beyond essential living expenses, she had only a meager amount of money left for things like cosmetics and clothes.

Yet, students who could afford tuition at such colleges generally weren’t poor, especially the girls who used top brand cosmetics and wore expensive clothes.

In high school, Su Mo was considered a “white, rich, beautiful” girl, but here, she might as well have been nothing.

The pride she once had was gone, and now she could only follow around a rich girl, hoping for scraps that were enough to satisfy her.

Having not seen Su Li since their high school graduation, it was only upon her reappearance that Su Mo realized her own jealousy was much deeper than she had thought.

Why should her sister have such a good life?

Why was her sister’s life getting better while hers only worsened?

It seemed as if being free from family restrictions, Su Li was like a phoenix soaring to the skies.

Look at her, from head to toe, not a trace of the old, timid, poor look.

She looked like a woman who had been meticulously groomed.

Upon returning from the mall, Su Mo couldn’t wait to print out the photos from her phone.

Finding information about Su Li was easy.

Everyone from her high school knew which university she attended.

But what Su Mo hadn’t anticipated was just how incredible her sister had become…

She had even caught the eye of the heartthrob from Jinghua Engineering College.

Why….

Su Mo was so jealous she was almost insane.
