Xu Zhaozhao stopped in front of the lotus throne. The photographer came up to her, smiling and greeting her, "Miss Zhaozhao, hello, hello!"

It's limited to greetings; not shaking hands with Xu Zhaozhao is an unspoken rule in the industry.

Undeterred, Xu Zhaozhao asked, "What is this...?"

"Oh~"

The photographer followed her gaze and saw the lotus throne.

Because the props were a bit heavy, they were taken out and arranged in advance.

He was still smiling when he said, "As you know, Miss Zhao Zhao, your series of photos of Bodhisattvas has recently become very popular online."

"But those are photoshopped by netizens, so they're not entirely realistic. Let's just post a set of real photos of Bodhisattvas! That'll definitely be a huge hit!"

The photographer said confidently.

His proposal was approved by the entire leadership team as soon as it was put forward.

Black and red traffic + Bodhisattva traffic \\u003d traffic have stacked up a buff!

Xu Zhaozhao remained silent.

This kind of photo shoot is quite explosive in the photo shoot industry, right?

She followed the assistant into the fitting room, and the Bodhisattva's clothes were indeed normal attire.

The aloof Bodhisattva look is definitely not compatible with her cute princess makeup today. The whole makeup and styling process took more than an hour.

"Alright, Miss Zhao Zhao, please stand for now."

As the photographer spoke, he reached out and turned on the studio lights.

Almost all the light was focused on Xu Zhaozhao, making her whole body glow.

She wore a fitted white halter dress, with a veil draped over her shoulders, and some colorful jewelry.

Her high-piled hair was also draped with gauze, and she held a white vase with a small willow branch inserted in it.

Her makeup was also changed to a clean and simple look, sweeping away the seductive charm that Xu Zhaozhao originally had.

The white light spread across her, and for a moment, it truly resembled the divine radiance that Xu Zhaozhao originally exuded...

The makeup artist is a professional; the resemblance to Guanyin Bodhisattva is extremely high.

Xu Zhaozhao remained expressionless, but inwardly she was utterly speechless.

Guanyin Bodhisattva doesn't wear shoes either.

Another day of being a barefoot warrior.

The photographer's first reaction upon seeing her was: No wonder netizens say that Xu Zhaozhao can establish herself in the entertainment industry with just her face.

It looks so good, it really motivates me to take more photos.

"Miss Zhao Zhao, please take your seat on the throne now."

The photographer continued speaking, and Xu Zhaozhao complied.

"Glance your eyes over there a little, give off a sense of disdain, oh yes..."

"Pull out the willow branches, as if to scatter some intelligence across the world, hey, right, don't move!"

"Miss Zhao Zhao, please sit down and make a hand gesture. Let's take one last picture!"

Xu Zhaozhao did as instructed.

Click.

As the studio lights came on, the last photo was taken.

Makeup and styling take an hour, and taking photos takes about half an hour at most.

"Miss Zhao Zhao, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

The photographer's hands were shaking a little as he held the camera; he hadn't encountered an artist who cooperated so well in a long time.

Before filming started, I was worried that he wouldn't be able to handle it and that it would be troublesome to give instructions. But I never expected that I wouldn't need his guidance at all.

Every picture taken by his camera will become a masterpiece in his photography career!

"It's a pleasure doing business with you!"

After Xu Zhaozhao finished speaking, she hurriedly ran into the changing room to change her clothes.

Mom.

Without shoes and with the air conditioning on, my feet are going to freeze off.

After changing back into her own clothes, Xu Zhaozhao didn't forget to ask her assistant, "Could you send me a copy of the photos after they're developed?"

"Sure," the assistant replied.

Xu Zhaozhao was finally satisfied.

She hadn't forgotten that she had promised her little fan to send her an autographed photo of the "Lotus Throne".

Artistic photos taken by photographers are more reliable than photoshopped images from netizens. If the photoshopped images contain materials with copyright issues, it could cause problems later.

We should still be aware of copyright.

By the time the filming was finished, it was already dark. Xu Zhaozhao, who wasn't dressed warmly, huddled up and got into Sister Yan's car, heading towards her villa.

"My darling fish! I'm back~"

Xu Zhaozhao rushed into the house and saw Gu Yulin in the living room, but Gu Yulin was not the only one there.

There's also Xiao Kai, who plays with Gu Yulin... and Xia Huai.

They looked like they were assembling a giant Lego set, with several boxes of bricks on the ground.

I don't know how long it took to assemble just one base, but it looks quite complicated.

Xu Zhaozhao's voice drew the attention of all three men to her.

Xia Huai smiled slightly and looked at her, "Baby, you're finally back. The three of us almost starved to death."

In other words, they were waiting for her to eat.

Xu Zhaozhao blushed. "Quickly, everyone wash your hands and have dinner with me."

"Yay!" Xiao Kai jumped up happily.

The nannies brought out the heated dishes, and Xia Huai and Xiao Kai sat opposite them. Everyone was hungry and ate heartily.

Xu Zhaozhao, in particular, practically buried herself in her rice.

Seeing this, Xia Huai couldn't help but smile again.

I've never seen him so temperamental before; he's become more and more open-minded lately.

The next second, Xia Huai's smile froze on her face, her whole body tensed, and a look of panic flashed in her eyes.

A slightly hunched nanny carried a pot of boiling soup and came straight towards Xu Zhaozhao.

Her foot slipped, and the soup in her hand was about to fly out...

Bang!

The bodyguard from the shadows rushed out, leaving only a blur, and kicked the falling ceramic pot away.

It smashed against the wall, shattering into pieces, the soup still steaming hot.

"Zhaozhao!"

"Mother!"

"elder sister!"

...

Several different voices called out to Xu Zhaozhao, but she did not respond.

She was so terrified that she stopped chewing the rice in her mouth.

If this pot had spilled on her, even if she didn't die, she could have suffered burns of any degree...

She was surrounded.

To avoid worrying them, Xu Zhaozhao forced a smile and said, "I'm fine."

Xia Huai glared angrily at the nanny kneeling on the ground. "What kind of work are you doing?!"

"I'm so sorry, Miss Zhao Zhao, I didn't mean to..."

She was one of the older nannies, and she knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face, pleading, "Miss Zhao Zhao, please give me another chance..."

Xu Zhaozhao turned her gaze to her and asked in a trembling voice, "How come I've never seen you before?"

Among her nannies, there didn't seem to be any that old.

"Mom, Aunt Su took a month-long leave to return to her hometown and only came back today."

Gu Yulin said, while holding Xu Zhaozhao's hand.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment before slowly saying, "Aunt Su is usually very good to me. She probably didn't do it on purpose. Can Mom forgive her this time?"

If it weren't for Gu Yulin's protection, the elderly nanny probably wouldn't have been kept, but...

Xu Zhaozhao closed her eyes, neither looking at her nor at Gu Yulin.

"You can leave now. I'll make it up to you."

The soup is usually placed furthest from the table and moved to the center only after it has cooled down. Aunt Su walked towards me without stopping.

Whether she's sensitive or ruthless, Xu Zhaozhao won't keep her alive.

Aunt Su cried even louder, tears streaming down her face as she looked at Gu Yulin, her voice filled with sorrow, and she kowtowed haphazardly, "Young Master, Aunt Su doesn't want to leave you!"

Xu Zhaozhao gestured to the bodyguard who had just rescued her.

The bodyguards stepped forward and quickly dragged the crying Aunt Su away.

Gu Yulin kept staring in the direction Aunt Su had left, muttering to himself, "Was it because Aunt Su was good to me that Mom kicked her out...?"
