My Life with Narration

Chapter 601 - 592: Photoshoot

On the third floor of a high-end photography studio on Jiangcheng Shaohua Street, many staff members were busy—some setting up the background, others adjusting the lighting, each performing their duties.

At that moment, Su Qing was in a dressing room, surrounded by three women and one man, the man fixing his hair while the women helped select his clothes.

"Are you Mr. Su Qing?"

At this moment, a girl asked.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing glanced at her, then nodded: "Hello!"

"Oh, it’s really you. I’m a fan of Da Huang. I didn’t dare to recognize it at first, but you look familiar, so I guessed it must be you!" the girl said excitedly.

To say the least, Su Qing’s popularity has been quite high lately. Even though he never shows his face on his account, it doesn’t matter because he has a sister, so his appearance has become well-known to the public.

The incident with the Stock God catapulted his fame, and his recent investment in the hit ’Wandering Earth’ boosted his popularity even higher. One could say he’s a red-hot influencer.

The most crucial part is he’s not your typical traditional influencer. His identity is somewhat complex, with some official background; he’s a consultant personally certified by the Jiangcheng City Public Security Bureau, and he’s suspected to know some actresses in the entertainment industry. At least people know he knows Tang Nan, and now he’s ventured into the film investment field, making him half a big shot in the business world.

You could say his progress is quite comprehensive, with much more influence than traditional influencers at his level, and he’s at least dipped his toes into the entertainment circle.

Unlike other influencers who want to enter the entertainment circle to become stars, he walks in as a tycoon.

"Thanks for your support. You can go play with it if you like. Don’t worry; it doesn’t bite!" Su Qing laughed.

By now, Da Huang is already famous, and he doesn’t need to say much about it.

"I get it. It likes stockings though. It’s a pity it’s winter now; otherwise, I would wear some too!" the girl said, covering her mouth with a laugh.

In response, Su Qing was speechless. Well, Da Huang’s title as a lascivious dog is well-deserved.

Fortunately, everyone knows it’s the dog that’s being perverse, not a human. Otherwise, he would have been arrested by the police long ago.

It’s strange, though. The same behavior by Da Huang is considered cute, making girls giggle. If he, however, was licking girls’ stockings, he wouldn’t escape being labeled a pervert.

Soon, rumors spread among those present that the Stock God got married and had children. This was something Su Qing never anticipated; he certainly didn’t expect to become a celebrity. He always thought of himself as just having a popular name.

"Hey, did you hear? The big influencer Su Qing just went in!"

"Which Su Qing? You mean the Stock God, the one who invested in Wandering Earth?"

"That’s him. Wait, he’s married? Already has kids? No way, he’s only in his early twenties!"

"Why would I lie to you? The little girl just called him dad. I heard it with my own ears."

"Is it true? Can’t be, right? That lady looks young but she’s been our regular customer for years, bringing her daughter annually for photos, and she knows our boss too. I heard she’s rich," a staff member from the photography studio said.

Soon, the rumor transformed.

"What? So, the Stock God’s actually living off a woman?"

"Tsk-tsk-tsk, with that stunning body under the sunhat, I’d want that too!"

"But looking at the kid’s age, something doesn’t add up. Did he have a kid when he was still in college?"

"Rich people might marry early. Of course, it might also be an accidental pregnancy!"

"Hey, if I had such a gorgeous wife, I’d be happy with an accidental pregnancy too!"

These staff members might not openly discuss it but would whisper among themselves, as gossiping is a natural human trait.

Meanwhile, in another dressing room, the landlady and the little girl Wen Yun sat side by side on chairs, surrounded by staff styling their hair, doing makeup, and changing their clothes.

Even Da Huang was specially taken to a nearby pet shop for a bath, which was very considerate. As long as you have money, there’ll be someone to do it for you.

At this moment, a woman with a well-proportioned figure and well-defined features stood by the window smoking a cigarette. Her lips were painted bright red, and the cigarette in her mouth appeared very sexy, giving off the vibe of a thorny rose.

"I say, Xiao Qing, did you suddenly figure things out? Well done. When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me? If you hadn’t come today, I wouldn’t have known. A bit too young, but that’s okay, being younger has its benefits!" the woman laughed.

Upon hearing this, Wen Nanqing blushed and retorted, "Why should I tell you? What, are you planning to attend a wedding feast?

Besides, this is just a friend of mine!"

"A friend? Don’t kid yourself, sister. Xiao Yun, tell Aunt Bai, who was that person just now?" Bai Qiu asked, looking at Wen Yun, who was swinging her feet while sitting on the chair.

Upon hearing this, the little girl raised her hand and shouted happily, "That’s my dad, Aunt Bai, that’s my dad!"

To this, Bai Qiu shrugged and laughed, "See, everyone knows kids don’t lie. So just admit it, we’ve known each other for years. I won’t make fun of you, will I? So what if you’ve found a younger guy?"

The landlady rolled her eyes in exasperation. She knew this situation would happen.

Even her mom suspected at first, let alone others.

A single mother brought her daughter and another man to take photos together, and the kid even called him dad. Who would believe there’s nothing between them!

But the thing is, they really are just ordinary friends. It’s just that for various reasons, things ended up like this, which is really bizarre.

Then he looked at his daughter and said, "How many times have I told you, call him uncle!"

"He’s not an uncle, he’s Daddy Su!" the little girl argued passionately.

On the side, Bai Qiu couldn’t stop laughing, "Look, even little Yun can tell. Why are you still denying it? How about I shoot a set of wedding photos for you today?"

"No way! Anything else is fine, but if we do wedding photos, I guarantee someone will come to Jiang City to settle accounts with me tomorrow!" Wen Nanqing rolled her eyes and spat.

They were distant relatives. Their connection was beyond the fifth cousin level, and Bai Qiu was two years older than Wen Nanqing, but overall, their ages were quite similar, and their relationship wasn’t bad.

This studio was actually owned by Bai Qiu. Although their family situation couldn’t compare to the Wen Family, it was still better than that of ordinary people. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to open such a business.

Hearing this, Bai Qiu was stunned for a moment, "Uh? What do you mean by that? Could it be..."

Wen Nanqing nodded, "I told you, he’s not mine. It’s my friend’s boyfriend. Mainly, little Yun likes him. No... she likes their dog. And since we get along well, I brought them over for a photo shoot!"

Although she didn’t explain in much detail, Bai Qiu roughly understood the situation. She took a long drag from her cigarette and shook her head.

"You guys sure know how to have fun. I’ve seen people borrow money and cars, but borrowing a man is a first. And the fact that he agreed to it is something else."

"Pfft! What are you saying? I’m also a shareholder, okay? She’s using our company’s resources to pick up handsome guys, and as a shareholder, I naturally get a share."

"You scared me. I thought you three were playing thre..."

Bai Qiu didn’t finish her sentence before Wen Nanqing glared at her, quickly waving her hand, "Okay, okay, I won’t say it, not in front of the child. We shouldn’t be a bad influence.

So, what kind of theme are we shooting today?"

"You’re the professional; you decide!"

"Alright, ancient costumes have been popular these years. Besides the usual, how about I do a set of ancient costumes for you guys? It’s really popular. Don’t worry!"

"Alright, you decide then!" Wen Nanqing agreed, thinking that professional matters should be left to professionals. As long as it’s not wedding photos, she could explain the rest to Shen Yi.

Even though this was mainly for Wen Yun’s sake, she still had a sense of boundaries. She was just borrowing someone’s boyfriend for a bit; she couldn’t very well take wedding photos with him. Otherwise, Shen Yi might throw a fit.

"Alright then, it’s decided. I’ll go make the arrangements!"

Then, Bai Qiu, wearing a black form-fitting turtleneck, put out her cigarette and went to arrange the costumes and background.

She was quite experienced with this sort of thing.

Soon, Su Qing, Wen Nanqing, and the little girl Wen Yun appeared in the studio.

The first set was normal photos, mainly parent-child outfits, with Su Qing and Wen Yun as the main focus. The landlord lady was mostly there to complement, occasionally joining for a few shots.

It was primarily to fulfill Wen Yun’s dream of a family reunion of three. After all, the little girl grew up without a father, and even though it was just for show, she was still very happy.

The landlord lady was doing it just for this, so of course, she was happy too.

The dog, Dahuang, was brought back, and together with the three people, completed the photo shoot under the guidance of the professional instructor present.

Fortunately, the three of them were quite good-looking and had great figures, so the photos came out looking like they were taken by models.

Wen Nanqing wore a variety of long dresses or qipaos, while Su Qing and the little girl had several sets of parent-child outfits.

The three even shot a set of Republic-era style art photos, which turned out pretty well.

Before they knew it, it was afternoon, and snow started falling outside.

Bai Qiu waved at the people present and shouted, "It’s snowing, just right. Let’s go for some outdoor shots. Quickly get them ready and try to finish shooting early."

Su Qing was then pushed into the dressing room by the staff, and when he saw someone putting a headpiece on him, he immediately felt things might not be so simple.

"Wait a minute, do we need headpieces for photos?" Su Qing asked the staff next to him.

Upon hearing this, everyone present looked at the boss, Bai Qiu.

Seeing this, Bai Qiu’s eyes twinkled with a smile, "Don’t worry, dear, Little Qing and I are friends. I’m a total pro. Once we hit the outdoors, I’ll make sure you look like a family, that’s the promise!"

[Bai Qiu was already brainstorming an alternative family portrait, couple wedding photos, intending to surprise her good friend.]
