After Shen Zhiyi finished her makeup and styling, Shi Lijia returned and accompanied her to try on clothes.

She's shooting an aquatic fragrance today.

The photographer's theme was "Lotus Emerging from Water," so he chose a pure white gauze dress for her.

Shen Zhiyi knew very well that the advertisers agreed to use her because she possessed both femininity and innocence, which perfectly matched the perfume.

Today's shoot will focus on portraying "innocence".

But after she put on the clothes, she realized something was wrong.

That's too revealing.

"What happened to this dress?!" Shi Lijia's face turned pale. "Why is so much fabric missing from the chest area?"

They had seen the sample garments before filming.

The previous design was not like that at all.

Shen Zhiyi examined the clothes closely; the stitching was loose and flimsy, as if someone had taken them apart.

The image of Song Jinrao flashed through her mind, and her heart sank.

“Sister Jia, it looks like someone has tampered with it.” She turned to the side, gesturing for Shi Lijia to look at the stitches.

Shi Lijia said angrily, "They figured out there were no cameras here and deliberately made you look bad."

Zhiyi has a great figure. If she went out dressed like that, people might think she deliberately ruined her clothes to attract attention.

That would further confirm the rumors that she "makes a living by selling her body".

She glanced at her watch and said anxiously, "The photo shoot is about to start."

"This photographer is a big name in the industry, with high standards for art. He was hired by advertisers at a high price. If you offend him and make him think that you don't respect this shoot, the advertisement will also be canceled."

"No, I need to find you a similar outfit."

Shen Zhiyi shook her head. "There's no time."

"What should we do then?!" Shi Lijia stared wide-eyed, glanced at Shen Zhiyi's expression, and hesitated, "How about... I ask President Li for help?"

"No!" Shen Zhiyi stopped her. "I have to learn to walk on my own sooner or later. I can't rely on him forever."

Shi Lijia fell silent and sighed.

"I don't know what you guys are being so awkward about."

One of them cared for Zhiyi to death, showing concern and affection far beyond what a sugar daddy should show. In private, he did countless things for Zhiyi, but not only did he not let her know, he also always talked about it, as if he was afraid that she would find out that he had feelings for her.

She's seen plenty of sugar daddies in the entertainment industry.

Mr. Li is the first person like this.

The other one, even though they like the other person, insists on breaking up.

She really doesn't understand.

Is this how relationships are conducted nowadays?

In the blink of an eye, Shen Zhiyi reached out and pulled open the long gauze on her left sleeve.

"What are you doing?!" Shi Lijia was startled.

Shen Zhiyi said, "The clothes are already ruined, and there's no time to find new ones. Why don't we think of a way to modify them?"

In short, as long as it fits the theme of this shoot, that's fine.

Shen Zhiyi thought for a moment, then draped the long veil over her shoulders, covering most of her cleavage and creating a hazy, alluring effect.

She then went to the dressing table outside and removed all her makeup.

I only applied a glossy highlighter and a clear lip gloss.

Shi Lijia was even more surprised.

"Will this... will this work?"

Shen Zhiyi straightened up, looked at herself in the mirror, and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Whether it works or not, we'll find out when we go out and see."

Outside.

Song Jinrao sat smugly in the chair, looking towards the exit of the dressing room.

Since she hasn't come out yet after so long, Shen Zhiyi must be out of ideas.

Maybe they're still inside, anxiously pacing around!

She was just waiting for the right moment for Shen Zhiyi to embarrass herself, offend the photographer and advertisers, and ruin all future business collaborations!

She chuckled twice.

Glancing towards the corridor outside the studio, I saw a tall, familiar figure, and my gaze suddenly stopped.

She jumped up, nervously clutching the hem of her skirt.

Why is Li Yunqian here?!

She chased after him in her high heels, and only stopped when she saw him turn into an interview room. She wondered in surprise: Was he here for an exclusive interview?

She turned around and quietly closed the studio door.

In short, just don't come looking for Shen Zhiyi.

She'll go wait for him after filming is over! She'll try again and see if she can leave a good impression on him.

Shen Zhiyi pushed open the door and came out.

The photographer adjusted the camera, looked up and saw Shen Zhiyi, and frowned, saying, "Why are you dressed like that?!"

His face was flushed with anger. "Who did your makeup and styling? It's completely different from what I ordered!"

"Shen Zhiyi! Did you alter your makeup without my permission?"

"Do you still want to film?!"

Hearing his angry voice, Song Jinrao turned around with a gloating expression.

Shen Zhiyi remained calm and said, "I won't pursue the matter since someone damaged the clothes due to improper storage by the studio. The most important thing right now is to complete the filming."

The photographer was taken aback by her words and choked for a moment.

Song Jinrao never expected that with just a casual remark, she would turn herself from the one at fault into the victim.

She snorted, "Shen Zhiyi, what kind of excuse are you making up? It's obvious that you wanted to show some skin, yet you're saying that others wanted to harm you."

"Do you really think we're all fools?"

Shen Zhiyi gave her a cold glance.

Song Jinrao immediately fell silent, as if she had been slashed by a knife.

"If I really wanted to show skin, I wouldn't have torn off the gauze from my sleeve to cover it up," Shen Zhiyi said calmly.

She stepped forward a few steps to show the photographer her makeup.

"The theme this time is 'lotus emerging from water,' and the shoot is being done in a swimming pool. I think the slightly messy gauze dress will actually look better after being soaked in water."
