With a broken jar mentality, I relaxed mentally and gradually got into the state.

"Good! This one is great, great! Come on, change into the next one!"

As I watched the photographer gradually reveal a satisfied smile, I felt more and more confident.

The shooting started at two o'clock in the afternoon and was completely over at four o'clock.

The photographer showed me the finished film and praised me, "Ms. Lan, your image and temperament are really suitable for modeling. Especially when you wear this ancient cheongsam, you have the gentleness and intelligence of a lady from a noble family."

"You're too kind." The photographer's praise was so high that it made me feel very nervous.

The staff member next to her echoed, "The photographer is right. Miss Lan, you really suit our cheongsam."

As they were talking, the staff brought a gift box to me and said, "This is a gift that our President Yan specifically instructed us to give to you."

I opened the gift box and found inside the cheongsam that I wore during the photo shoot today.

I didn't reach out to take it because I knew this cheongsam was worth a lot of money.

The staff member smiled slightly and said, "This is the task that our Director Yan specifically assigned to me. If you don't accept it, it will be difficult for me to do it."

I didn't want to embarrass her, and besides, the cheongsam was altered to my size for the photo shoot, so I gladly accepted the gift.

Actually, I quite like this one too. The color is elegant and the pattern is simple. It is not flashy, but elegant.

After re-wrapping the ribbon on the gift box, I got up and left.

Yan Meng didn’t come to today’s photoshoot, which made me feel relieved.

If he were there, every second of filming would be torture.

I walked out of the studio carrying the gift box. As soon as I went down the stairs, I saw Yan Meng coming towards me with a smile on her face.

My heart skipped a beat and I stopped in my tracks.

It turned out that I was too early to rejoice.

Yan Meng stood in front of me, obviously not intending to let me leave easily.

"Thank you for your hard work on the shoot. As a reward, I'll treat you to dinner."

I forced an official smile and refused directly: "Boss Yan, I've already finished the promotional photos. Our contract is officially over. No need to eat. I have other things to do."

After all, Yan Meng gave me the list of Bailu Clothing. Even though I hate him as a person, I still showed some respect to him in my words.

I just want to stay away from him.

My refusal didn't displease Yan Meng. As I passed him, he suddenly said, "Are you looking for evidence that Lu Zhiyuan cheated on Yuan Yaxin?"

I paused and looked back in surprise. How could he know all this?

I frowned and asked unhappily, "Are you investigating me?"

This behavior without a sense of boundaries made me dislike him even more.

"I'm not that bored." Yan Meng shrugged and explained calmly, "You still remember the private detective who secretly photographed us last time? Since he has my photo, of course I will send someone to deal with it as usual."

It suddenly dawned on me that I had misunderstood him.

For a prominent figure like Yan Meng, every move is closely watched. If the secretly taken photos leaked and malicious rumors were fabricated, the image and profits of Bailu Clothing would be affected.

"My people caught the private investigator and deleted all the photos he took before handing them over to his employer."

Yan Meng does things neatly and efficiently.

My heart suddenly sank. I looked up at Yan Meng and couldn't help but ask him, "So, have you found out who hired him?"
