13 013 Mutual requests
◎Take photos.◎
In the evening, the sun gradually sets and the sunset dyes the sky red, which is particularly charming.
Ren Lu and Lu Sinian were strolling on the path, the camera was shooting their backs, a mixture of light and shadow, fragmented yet beautiful.
"The director just said that after completing the task, you can make a request to the other party for the reward. Right?" Ren Lu looked up at the sunset and had an idea in his mind.
The man nodded and waited in silence for her request.
"I dressed up specially today. There are such beautiful scenery around, it would be a shame not to take pictures. Mr. Lu has a good aesthetic sense, please take a group of photos for me." She gave the answer quickly.
Lu Sinian frowned instantly. He obviously didn't want to accept this proposal.
"My request is that you change your proposal." He chose to refuse without hesitation.
Ren Lu curled her lips, not at all surprised by his refusal, and readily agreed: "Okay, it doesn't matter if you can't take pictures. Mr. Lu has learned to paint, so just draw me."
The man was silent. She always had a way to make him speechless.
"Director, please help me borrow a camera." He compromised. Compared to painting, taking pictures is easier.
The man went to find the camera, while Ren Lu faced the camera with a victorious smile.
As expected, people all like the golden mean. They may be unwilling at first, but when a more outrageous request is made, they will agree to the previous proposal. Even Mr. Lu cannot escape this law.
"Mr. Lu, don't you like taking photos for others?" the director next to him took the opportunity to ask.
Ren Lu shook her head: "Mr. Lu strives for perfection in everything he does. Taking pictures and painting are all things that cultivate his sentiments for him. He usually does them when he is in a good mood, and he has to do them well. He is obviously not in a good mood right now."
"When did Mr. Lu get angry today? How many times did he get angry? No one noticed." The director took the opportunity to ask questions related to anger.
Ren Lu chuckled, "Of course you can't tell, because he's not angry. How could such a small thing make him angry? He just guessed my mission and tried to please the production team."
Lu Sinian is actually quite a pervert.
Ren Lu had been with him for nearly five years, and she had never seen him really angry. One year, all the companies under the Lu family were in a loss-making state, and even two subsidiaries were on the verge of bankruptcy. It was really a bad year, and many people thought that the Lu family was going to fall.
But even in such a mess, he didn't get angry. He just calmly and indifferently solved all the problems, caught the parasites, dismissed the useless people, and developed new projects.
He is terrifyingly emotionally stable and extremely capable. Of course, from another perspective, you can also say that he is cold-hearted and a profit-seeker who will not be bound by any emotions.
Likes and dislikes have the same cause.
"Ah?" The director was obviously shocked.
Ren Lu immediately made a "hush" gesture to the camera, "Everyone, please keep it a secret for me. Don't let the director know. Otherwise, it will be Mr. Lu who will make the request to me today."
"I wonder if Mr. Lu regrets it now." The director said jokingly.
"Although this sentence sounds corny, I still want to say that the word 'regret' does not exist in his dictionary." Ren Lu answered for him.
"Mrs. Lu really understands him well," the director exclaimed.
This time, Ren Lu just smiled and said nothing.
If she didn't understand him, how could she become his wife?
"Let's go." He came over with a camera and led the way forward.
"Where are you going?"
“Go up the mountain.”
This village is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has beautiful scenery, so it was chosen by the program team.
Now, after hearing this answer, Ren Lu's scalp instantly went numb.
"Forget it, I think the scenery here is pretty good." She still wanted to struggle.
"I don't think so. Light and shadow are very important when taking photos. These are all small scenes, and I can't capture the feeling." He was very persistent and his attitude was very serious.
Ren Lu already felt a little regretful. She had just mentioned taking photos just to make Lu Sinian feel uncomfortable, but now it was obvious that she had gotten herself into trouble.
"How can I climb a mountain in high heels?" she objected.
But as soon as he finished speaking, the man took out a pair of Liberation Shoes and put them on the ground as if performing magic. His meaning was very clear.
Ren Lu pursed her lips, and although she was unwilling, she still changed her shoes and followed him to climb the mountain.
There were villagers leading the way in front, and the man followed closely behind, stopping from time to time to take pictures of the scenery with his camera.
Ren Lu followed behind him, looking at his calm appearance, she was so angry that her teeth were itching, and in her heart she cursed his entire family, not letting anyone off the hook.
You bastard, are you taking a picture of her or the scenery?
Forget it, for the huge inheritance he left behind, she had to endure it!
According to the plot development, he probably won't live long. There is really no need to bother with a male supporting actor who died young.
"As the saying goes, live by the mountain, eat by the mountain. There are a lot of wild vegetables on this mountain, and they grow all over the mountain in spring. We were previously contracted to plant fruit trees, but there was a drought the year before last and we suffered a lot of losses, so we stopped the business..." The villagers introduced themselves one by one.
This mountain is not difficult to climb. There is a man-made path and there are many flowers, plants and trees around it. It is lush and green and looks very lively.
But as the sun gradually sets, the light decreases, the green disappears little by little, and it becomes dark.
"Here it is."
Finally, he chose a location and caught the last moment before the sun completely set to take pictures of Ren Lu.
"Keep your toes tight, good!" He was adjusting her posture.
Ren Lu sat on a rock and bent down to pick up her high heels on the ground. It seemed like a simple action, but it was actually very difficult to take a good-looking photo while sitting and picking up something.
It is easy to make people look hunched over, with short legs and no neck, making them look listless.
The whole body has to be tense, the neck straight, the waist not collapsing, the legs have to be in the right position, and even the toes have to exert force. Together with the light, shadow and angle, you can take a perfect photo.
"Okay, this time look up at the skyline," he spoke again, asking her to change her movements.
Ren Lu has learned modeling knowledge and has dabbled in walking and posing, so she can always find a pose that suits her.
"Let's go."
When the two men went down the mountain, the sun had already set and a bright moon was hanging high in the sky.
The green around was completely invisible and turned pitch black. Apart from the flashlights held by the staff, there was only a little moonlight pouring down.
"Hey, Xiao Liu, I took some photos on the mountain. Please give them to the design team and ask them to come up with a plan as soon as possible. It must be done in a stylish way..."
Lu Sinian’s workaholic persona remains intact, and he was still on the phone discussing design matters on the way down the mountain.
Ren Lu wanted to roll her eyes after hearing this, what a psycho! It turned out that taking pictures of her was just a coincidence. The main purpose was to take pictures of the mountain scenery as material to provide inspiration to the designer.
——Fuck, this man Lu Sinian is amazing. Even Ren Lu’s gentleness couldn’t melt him, and he’s still thinking about work at this time!
——By the way, does this count as a failure in showing affection?
——I think so. When Ren Lu suggested taking photos, she must have wanted everyone to see that a husband took photos of his wife, with pink bubbles all around. But Mr. Lu, a straight man, only wanted to take photos of the material.
——I’m sure he took many more photos of the mountain than of Ren Lu.
——Oh, I suddenly felt a little sorry for Ren Lu. Even though she was promoted to secretary, she couldn't attract much affection from Lu Sinian. She seemed like a tool wife.
——This kind of cold and wealthy life is her own choice, so she has to bear any suffering on her own!
——This is only what we outsiders can see. It must be even more painful in private, and we have to swallow our anger even if it means losing our temper.
When the two of them returned to the foot of the mountain, the director was holding a summary meeting.
"According to the comparison of the weight of cotton obtained by the four groups of guests today, the first place went to Lu Sinian and Ren Lu. Because they have made great contributions to the village, the villagers voluntarily donated 1,000 kilograms of cotton. The second place went to Chen Wan and Zhai Jin, with a total of 200 kilograms of cotton. The third place went to Zhou Shanshan and Yang Zhi, with a total of 180 kilograms of cotton; the fourth place -"
The director signed up the names one by one, and when he mentioned the last person, he couldn't help but cough lightly.
"Due to physical reasons of the guests, Xu Shiqing and Peng Hongyu's team failed to get cotton. They are the last ones. Let's keep trying."
"The four accommodations for tonight will be allocated according to this ranking. They are the large villa, large terrace, unit room, and lake view room."
This time the director did not try to be mysterious and directly took out the photos of the residences. Of course, these houses sound grand, but in fact they look very different.
When Ren Lu saw the house that belonged to them, although it was not a real villa, the accommodation conditions were already the best, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Director, I want to live in this lake view room, but Shiqing just fainted and hasn't recovered yet. The house is above the lake and it's very humid, so let her live somewhere else." Peng Hongyu immediately pleaded.
The director was stunned, obviously hesitant.
If she is not allowed to change the place, it would seem that the program team is unkind. But if she changes the place, then what is the point of the program team setting up this segment.
"Shiqing, how do you feel?" the director asked.
Xu Shiqing didn't say anything just now because she didn't want to live in this so-called lake view room. Just looking at the photos made her feel suffocated. It was so far away from home.
But now that the director asked her, she could only bite the bullet and say, "I'm fine. I've seen a doctor. I just missed lunch and had a bit of heat stroke. I'm completely fine now. It doesn't affect anything. As long as this house can be lived in, it's fine."
In the end, the program crew did not let her stay in the lake view room, and there were no vacant rooms in the other houses. However, Ren Lu and his wife, who came in first, had two guest rooms in their big villa and became the first choice.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, Lulu, for causing trouble for you two." Xu Shiqing walked forward and greeted them politely. The smile on her face was a little stiff, as if she was embarrassed.
"It's nothing. It's important to take care of yourself and make sure to eat on time." Ren Lu waved her hand.
Lu Sinian took her arm and walked into the room, and directly covered the camera with a towel.
Although the live broadcast room is closed at night, it is safer to cover it just in case.
Vicky led people in, tidied the room, and changed the bedding. Otherwise, with Lu Sinian's personality, he would definitely not be able to sleep tonight.
Ren Lu was lying on the bed, about to close her eyes and go to sleep, when she suddenly felt a hot hand touching her waist.
"What are you doing?" She held him down, preventing him from moving.
“Maybe there are cameras left on.”
“Closed.”
"What if someone leaves a recorder here?"
Even if he just made a move, she knew what he wanted to do. This bastard didn't have many meaningful things in his mind except working hard to make money.
"I checked, nothing." He leaned over, put his lips next to her ear and said, "I haven't redeemed my mission reward today."
