Li Yunling: Brother Jing, that’s not necessary. I was actually planning to go to work at the hardware factory after the 20th of this month. Aunt Su said that the factory is short of staff, so I think I should go over to work.

Su Zhihao: What position do you want to hold?

Li Yunling: I do odd jobs. I do whatever your mother does and she teaches me.

Su Tiantian: Then you should have some fun these days.

Li Yunling: Sister Tiantian is getting married next month, and Aunt Su has a lot of things to deal with, so I go to work at the hardware factory, which is just right.

Su Tiantian: Actually, I have a question. Has Yunfeng had any blind dates recently?

Su Zhihao: I sent an emoji of someone wiping sweat.

Liu Jingze: Who is Yunfeng?

Li Yunling: My brother had a blind date, but it was unsuccessful.

Su Zhihao: Should we hide the fact that we are taking wedding photos from him?

Li Yunling: You don’t have to hide it from him, you have to hide it from my mother, so that she won’t put pressure on my brother. You and I shouldn’t post on WeChat Moments. She won’t care if I say I’m going on a trip with you.

Su Tiantian: I used to take on the pressure, but now all the pressure is on him.

Li Yunling: It's none of your business at all. Grandma, mom, dad, uncle and aunt, they keep urging me to come back every day. My brother said, fortunately I start work today and have work as an excuse.

Liu Jingze ate a piece of potato that Su Tiantian picked up and asked: "Is A Ling's brother also being urged to get married?"

Su Tiantian said: "Yes, I find that there are so many people who are urged to get married. Fortunately, I have you."

Liu Jingze said, "I have a cousin who's less than a month older than me. He's also being pressured into marriage. He and Ziyang have been complaining about my hasty marriage lately. And then there's Huilin's brother, whom I call Brother Bo. He's 32 years old, and he refuses to inherit Uncle Xiao's business or get married. Uncle Xiao is almost pissed off with him. Every time father and son meet, it's chaos and turmoil."

Su Tiantian said: "Parents all want to see their children get married and start a family as soon as possible. Uncle Xiao must be worried when Brother Bo behaves like this."

Liu Jingze said, "I'll contact Brother Bo later to confirm the wedding photos. Come on, Tiantian, take a look and see if you want to eat anything else. I'll go get it."

Su Tiantian picked up a piece of mutton and gave it to Liu Jingze: "Brother Jing, I can eat it myself, you eat more."

Liu Jingze said: "After dinner, should I take you back to the company or to the company's apartment?"

Su Tiantian said: "Let's go back to the company. We can rest in the office."

Liu Jingze said, "The surveillance system and appliances have all been purchased. I've also bought a small safe so you can stay there anytime. The surveillance software is installed on my phone, and I'll install the software on yours later. I'll send you the safe password."

Su Tiantian said: "Okay, but I want to live in the apartment for the next few days so it's convenient for commuting."

After eating hot pot, Liu Jingze sent Su Tiantian back to the company and left. During work in the afternoon, Su Tiantian received a call from Ms. Lai at the head office. The call was from the landline in the business manager's office: "Tiantian, I heard you are getting married? Congratulations."

Su Tiantian said: "Thank you, Miss Lai."

Ms. Lai's tone was calm, yet it exuded a sense of intimidation without even getting angry: "After you get married, will you still work?"

Su Tiantian said: "Of course, marriage is only a part of life. I can't devote all my energy to it. Work will make me more confident."

Ms. Lai said, "I'll give you a red envelope for starting work. Mr. Lai will give it to you. He said you will have a wedding banquet next month and he will give you a gift then."

Su Tiantian said, "Thank you, Miss Lai. I'm going back to my hometown to hold a wedding banquet on the 23rd day of the second lunar month next month. I'd like to invite you and Mrs. Lai, and of course, I'd like to invite some people from the company as well. I wonder if you're free?"

Ms. Lai said, "I've noted the date. I'll try to arrange the time. As for the work, you just need to hand it over. I've always admired your work ability, and I'll need you to assist Mr. Lai in the future."

Su Tiantian said, "I understand, Miss Lai."

After hanging up, Su Tiantian saw a message Liu Jingze had sent to the group chat: "I've confirmed the itinerary with my friend. We'll arrive at his shop downtown before 8:30 AM on the 16th to select our outfits for the photo shoot. Also, we'll bring any other clothes we want to take with us. After we've chosen our outfits, we'll drive to Kuojiang City, a four-hour drive. We can take as many photos and change into as many outfits as we want. We only have so much time, so we'll leave when we're done. We plan to leave and return at 2:00 PM on the 18th." He said he'd personally lead the team, bringing two people who would be responsible for makeup, photos, and tools. The fee is 1,200 yuan per day. I'll cover food, accommodation, gas, and highway tolls. We can upload as many photos as we want, and we'll also give us the film, but we won't be retouching all of it, just some."

Su Zhihao: 1,200 yuan a day, does that refer to one couple? For the two couples we have, that would be 2,400 yuan a day?

Liu Jingze: No, it’s just the two of us.

Li Yunling: Is it really that cheap? Even an indoor photoshoot costs over a thousand yuan. And going to such a faraway place for three days only costs 3,600 yuan? I've seen some people spend tens of thousands of yuan on wedding photoshoots, and they only shoot for one or two days.

Liu Jingze: It’s a friend’s price. I have been good friends with him for many years. The 1,200 yuan a day is mainly for renting clothes and the wages of the two employees.

Su Tiantian: I just finished and saw your chat history. If you give us all the negatives, we can do whatever we want with the editing process.

Su Zhihao: Yes, my cousin knows how to edit photos.

Liu Jingze: My friend will edit some of the pictures. If there are not too many photos, he can edit all of them. He means editing dozens of photos at most. In addition, he will also edit frames and other things. I didn’t ask him about the details. Anyway, I trust him as a person.

Li Yunling: A few dozen are definitely enough.

Liu Jingze: That’s good. I will drive a seven-seater MPV then. Then I don’t need to drive two cars, right?
