Chapter 100 Mask Fu Langshu disrupts the situation
"Oh——" Bai Luo blinked, sat up straight, and looked at Fu Liangxia's face regretfully, with obvious regret on his face.
"That's a shame. If that's the case, then modeling isn't really your best choice," Bai Luo said. "But if you change your mind later, feel free to contact me."
In this situation, Fu Liangxia was at a loss for words. If she simply refused, she would appear immodest, as if she truly despised modeling. But if she said she would consider it, it would go against her conscience.
Fu Liangxia was just about to gloss over the matter when she heard Fu Langshu casually say, "Ms. Fu, you must be very excited, right? You're able to work with someone as approachable and charming as Bai Luo."
There was something strange in his words.
Fu Liangxia glanced sideways and met the other person's emerald pupils. The corners of his lips curled slightly, and he looked sarcastic no matter how he looked at him.
She didn't understand why he changed so quickly. Could it be because she didn't reject him immediately?
"Of course it's exciting to work with Teacher Bai," she said ambiguously.
Fu Langshu nodded: "Yes, it's better than being a stinking capitalist who exploits his partners."
Fu Liangxia: “…” This joke is unbearable.
Bai Luo didn't know the story between the two, but he could see that there seemed to be an aura between them that no one else could interfere with.
And Fu Haoyao, the only one who knew what Fu Langshu was talking about... was processing the second lobster.
Later, Bai Luo knew that Fu Liangxia was not very willing to join her company, so she stopped forcing him and changed the subject.
None of them were incapable of conversation, and the second half of the meal was quite enjoyable. After leaving the restaurant, Fu Langshu and Fu Haoyao found some excuse to follow them to the theater.
When the agreed shooting time was approaching, Fu Liangxia followed her assistant to leave to put on makeup and change clothes, while Fu Haoyao put his hand on Bai Yan's shoulder and took him away. The two of them went to discuss something quietly.
Bai Luo sat in the theater's auditorium, with Fu Langshu standing behind her. He suddenly asked, "Are you still planning to use her as a model for the photography competition? Knowing the wrath of those on the organizing committee, how could you bear to throw a girl like this into this fire?"
He said, "Isn't this why you suddenly abandoned Brinklin? To protect her. But did you ask Bai Yan to find a model and tell him about the dirty deeds of the organizing committee?"
"Or is it that as long as it's not someone you like, as long as the model you find is attractive enough, can present the image you want, and win the award you have always desired, nothing else matters."
Fu Langshu's eyes were so sharp that they seemed to pierce through her disguise and expose all her dark thoughts.
His words were so rude that Bai Luo's expression went blank for a moment. After a long moment, she sighed deeply.
"I don't know." The woman covered her face with one hand, frowning in thought.
Her original plan was to find a girl who was beautiful and special enough. If she was also motivated, that would be the best. She could then get her to join her agency and allocate resources to support her. It would be a mutually beneficial deal.
And if she is that kind of person, after hearing the hidden meaning behind the photography competition, she will only accept it happily, and even be grateful to her for pushing her to a better platform.
However, she was also surprised that Fu Langshu could say these words.
I'm used to seeing Fu Langshu dominate the business world and be cold and aloof, but I didn't expect he could go to this extent for others now. It seems he really has high hopes for this "rising star", or is there something else going on?
He stood in the aisle between two rows of seats. The overhead lights were off, and only the small lights at his feet dimly illuminated his figure. The man stood tall and straight, his jade-white jaw tense, his eyes gleaming like a cold light in the thick darkness.
"I was wondering why you came here so suddenly."
Bai Luo lowered his hand that was supporting his forehead, as if he had made up his mind. He even wanted to tease her, "Is it the junior you're interested in, or your future brother-in-law?"
Fu Langshu stood with his arms folded, glanced at Fu Haoyao and the other man who were talking quietly in the corner, then turned to look ahead and said meaningfully, "Maybe it's the third option."
Bai Luo's gaze paused slightly as it fell on him.
After a while, she said, "I'll let her wear half a mask."
But it is impossible to change the model. Although I had selfish motives in choosing her, putting other things aside, Fu Liangxia really interpreted this dress perfectly.
Fu Langshu: "Thank you very much."
Bai Luo glanced at him sideways: "It's not for you, I just think a girl like her should shine in her own field."
As she spoke, she stood up and walked towards the dressing room, taking Bai Yan with her, ready to discuss the details of the mask with the stylist.
The stylist was called out of the dressing room by Bai Luo. Fu Liangxia maintained her posture of sitting in front of the makeup mirror, being careful not to let her skirt get bumped anywhere.
She hadn't finished her makeup yet, having only applied a layer of primer and foundation, but the dress she wore was extremely revealing, giving her a contradictory feeling of being both gorgeous and simple in the mirror.
The assistant was playing with her phone next to her when a figure suddenly appeared at the door. He was leaning against the door, and in the mirror, only his long legs, wrapped in suit pants, could be seen. His posture was not very straight.
"Mr. Fu." The assistant noticed him, quickly put down his phone, stood up and greeted him.
The assistant had been with Bai Luo for so many years, so of course he knew the status of the person in front of him, and he did not treat Fu Liangxia, Brooklyn and others casually at all.
Fu Liangxia subconsciously turned her head to look. This was the first time they met alone since the invitation last night, and she didn't know why he suddenly appeared here.
Fu Langshu stood in the backlight and saw that both people in the room were looking at him. He slightly curled the corners of his lips as a greeting.
Then he stood up straight and took two steps inside. Due to his tall stature, he almost hit the ceiling light of the dressing room, instantly blocking out a lot of light in the room.
He didn't look at Fu Liangxia, but said to the assistant beside him: "Can you give us two minutes?"
"Of course." The assistant nodded hurriedly and said, "Teacher Bai will need some time to modify the mask. You can chat freely."
Having said that, she quickly took her coat and cell phone and left the dressing room, not forgetting to close the door for the two of them when she left.
In an instant, only Fu Liangxia and Fu Langshu were left in the room. Fu Liangxia looked back in the mirror and saw him standing behind her without saying a word.
Fu Liangxia said, "You took time out of your busy schedule to come here just to save this 'rising star' of mine?"
Looking back at what he did after they met, he was just trying to stop her from joining Bai Luo.
Fu Langshu raised his eyebrows and said, "Isn't it possible? I was counting on you to lead our project to flourish and make further progress."
Fu Liangxia: “…” Who can be as sarcastic as him?
"Capitalist." She muttered, looked into the man's eyes in the mirror, and asked casually, "The two don't seem to conflict?"
Fu Liangxia was half leaning on the back of the chair, and Fu Langshu behind him seemed to be disgusted by the dirty stools in the dressing room and had nowhere to stand.
He didn't sit down, but stood behind her, his hands resting on the back of her chair, and leaning forward slightly: "So you really regret not being able to seize the opportunity to work with Bai Luo?"
Looking in the mirror, it looked like he was half-holding her in his arms, his arm stretched out on her shoulders, and his warm body temperature was continuously transmitted from the small piece of skin that was touching.
"I thought you'd thank me." He sighed mockingly.
"Those old guys in the International Photography Association all appear to have glamorous and impressive identities, but in reality, they ruin a lot of young men and women every year."
Fu Liangxia looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.
"Are you thinking that they're holding such a large-scale photography competition? It's impossible that they're publicly selecting a concubine. After all, they're the most pretentious 'Celestial Dragons', so they'll always have to cover up their appearances."
Fu Langshu bent down slightly, his chin almost touching the top of her head. From this angle, his gaze seemed less sharp, even gentle.
"And Bai Luo doesn't look like the kind of person who would be a pimp for his own benefit. The Bai family is powerful and influential, so they don't need to fawn over those old guys."
It is undeniable that what he said were indeed Fu Liangxia's thoughts.
Except for one thing, she had never been tempted to sell her beauty from the beginning to the end.
But she just felt unhappy. Why did Fu Langshu look so calm and composed as if he saw through her completely?
"You underestimated the unscrupulous means of the rich and overestimated Bai Luo's bottom line." He whispered.
Fu Liangxia: "Maybe this is what I want?"
Fu Langshu smiled instead of getting angry: "Yes, there are so many people who want to work with Miss Fu, why would she choose a black-hearted capitalist like me who exploits partners to the point that even my own brother can't stand it? Naturally, she prefers a kind-hearted boss who is generous and can easily give 10 million."
"As for the troubles that come later, there will definitely be someone rushing to solve them for our charming Miss Fu." Fu Langshu raised the corner of his lips towards her, "The Cheng family, the Su family, or my good-for-nothing brother... But, can they really protect you?"
Fu Liangxia was suddenly stunned. Indeed, this was a situation she had never thought of.
As a reader who had read the original book, she had too much trust in the character of the protagonist in the book and was certain that Bai Yan would not cheat her.
But if the truth was really as he said, would Bai Yan, who had brought her in, really choose to protect her, given that they had already fallen out this afternoon? And even if his conscience prevailed, would he have the ability to do so?
Fu Liangxia just thought about it for a moment, and a chill ran down her back.
"So you're saying all this just to get me to cancel tonight's filming?" she pondered.
"Of course not," Fu Langshu chuckled, standing up and saying, "I'm here to show off my achievements."
She was stunned, turned around and looked up at him in confusion, but she looked straight into his unfathomable eyes.
"Why push it away? Why not just cover your face?"
"So the mask...?"
"I guess so."
Fu Liangxia stared at him with an even more confused look.
Fu Langshu caught her gaze and raised an eyebrow at her: "Why are you looking at me like that? Are you fascinated by me?"
"I'm wondering what trap you're going to set for me." Fu Liangxia said expressionlessly. She didn't believe that he would be kind for no reason.
Hearing this, Fu Langshu was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to answer like this. Then the smile on his face deepened: "Can't you just be kind?"
When Fu Liangxia heard his words, she snorted and laughed, with disbelief written all over her face.
"If you are so kind, why not give me two more shares."
"You really are." Fu Langshu sighed and turned the ring on his finger. "I noticed your recent financial movements. Are you planning to set up a new business?"
After he finished speaking, Fu Liangxia immediately showed a vigilant look, as if he was thinking about whether he could silence him by killing him.
Fu Langshu laughed. "Don't be nervous. You haven't revealed anything. I just got the news through some not-so-legal private means. You know, I have to have some way to ensure that my business partners don't have any hidden traps."
"I'm not setting up a new business. I'm just using some spare money to start a small business." Fu Liangxia vaguely brushed off the topic.
Just kidding, she certainly couldn't tell Fu Langshu that her father was not very smart and would soon be taken advantage of by others. She had to find a way to save the company.
Let’s not talk about whether saying this will make Fu Langshu think he is a monster who can predict the future, and report him to some strange research center and kidnap him for research.
From an investment perspective alone, who would be willing to cooperate with such a confused person? Isn't that just a waste of money?
It was just a cover-up, and Fu Liangxia didn't know whether Fu Langshu believed it or not, and how much he believed it.
He just stared at her for a moment with his deep-sea eyes, then suddenly nodded slowly after pondering, "Small business..."
Fu Liangxia was almost convinced by his stares that he had discovered something. Fortunately, Fu Langshu did not hold on to her and said, "Well, if your 'small business' needs help--"
The man raised his hand, made a "six" sign, placed it to his ear, and winked: "Call me anytime."
