Li Tiantian pulled Zhou Rui, who was behind her, in front of his cousin: "Look, this is your lovely apprentice."
Li Mingyan looked at Zhou Rui in surprise. He thought his cousin had introduced him to a girl, so he pulled Li Tiantian aside and said:
"How did my apprentice turn into a man?"
"I never said the apprentice I was introducing to you was a girl!"
"I thought the cute thing you were talking about was a girl."
Li Mingyan glanced at Zhou Rui behind him again. When Zhou Rui saw Li Mingyan looking at him, he smiled obediently at him.
"Who says cuteness only describes girls! Besides, isn't that boy in the back cute?"
"He's not only cute, but he also has a sweet voice," Li Tiantian said excitedly, because she really liked Zhou Rui.
"What you're saying is true, he is cute, but he's an employee of your company, right? Does he have time to learn from me?" Li Mingyan turned to look at Zhou Rui again.
"I forgot about that, cousin. You can come to me when he has time, and I'll teach him."
“I think he really likes photography,” Li Tiantian said, making up a reason to ask her cousin to teach Zhou Rui.
"Then I'll test him. If he's alright, I'll teach him."
"Test? Cousin, what do you mean?" Li Tiantian blinked and looked at Li Mingyan with a puzzled expression.
Li Mingyan smiled and said, "I'm going to work now, you'll find out in a bit."
"No, cousin, don't bully my little Rui Rui." Li Tiantian felt uncomfortable just looking at Li Mingyan's smile.
Li Mingyan ignored her and put on a serious face to start working.
Hongjie was very satisfied with the photos Li Mingyan had taken, her smile stretching from ear to ear. She kept praising Li Mingyan, who smiled and then walked over to Zhou Rui and handed him the camera.
"Take a few photos and show them to me. We happen to have some models right now."
Zhou Rui was so frightened by Li Mingyan's action that she dared not speak. Her beautiful eyes stared straight at him, and she did not dare to reach out to take the expensive camera.
Li Tiantian nudged Zhou Rui with her shoulder: "Little Rui Rui, didn't you want to learn photography? Hurry up and take this great opportunity. Besides, my cousin usually doesn't let anyone touch his camera."
Zhou Rui quickly took the camera, breathed a sigh of relief, his hands trembling with nervousness. Bai Xinze gently stepped forward to comfort him: "Zhou Rui, don't be nervous, just think of me as the person you like."
Zhou Rui took a deep breath, smiled, and took a few photos of Bai Xinze with his camera. Behind him, Li Mingyan looked at the photos of Zhou Rui on the computer and asked Li Tiantian in a low voice, "Tiantian, has he studied it?"
"I don't know, cousin, what do you think of him?" Li Tiantian asked Li Mingyan tentatively.
"Not bad. If he hasn't studied much, he has some talent." Li Mingyan looked at the photo and then at Zhou Rui.
Li Mingyan walked up to Zhou Rui and patted him on the shoulder: "Little friend, have you studied photography?"
Zhou Rui nervously replied, "No, I just used to enjoy taking photos and would just experiment at home."
He doesn't actually enjoy taking photos; he just does it to photograph He Muchen. He spends his days at home figuring things out on his own. If his family weren't poor, he would have gone to study photography or directing without hesitation, anything that could be related to his profession.
When he graduated, he did consider becoming a celebrity assistant. No matter whose assistant he was, it was all the same circle, and he would run into them eventually. However, in order to stay with his grandparents, he chose to take the stable job of a teacher.
Li Mingyan handed him his business card: "If you have time, you can come to my studio to find me."
Zhou Rui took the business card blankly and stammered, "Okay... I'll come see you when I have time."
Li Mingyan looked at him blankly and laughed, "Give me the camera. I've added you as a friend, please accept my request."
Zhou Rui awkwardly handed the camera back to Li Mingyan, nervously saying, "I'm sorry, okay..."
Li Mingyan looked at the nervous Zhou Rui and rubbed his head: "Little friend, your brother doesn't eat people, don't be afraid."
He Muchen happened to see this scene. He Muchen had come to discuss something with Sister Hong. He had just stepped in when he saw Li Mingyan affectionately rubbing Zhou Rui's head.
He Muchen stepped forward and pulled Zhou Rui close to him, his face cold and sarcastic as he said to Li Mingyan, "What wind blew Brother Mingyan here?"
Li Mingyan looked at He Muchen intimately putting his arm around Zhou Rui's shoulder and grinned mischievously, "Muchen, how can you talk to your brother like that? Just because there's no wind, can't your brother come and sit here for a while?"
"It's fine for Brother Mingyan to come, but why didn't you let me know in advance? I could have prepared something to properly entertain you."
"No need for hospitality, I'm here to make money."
"I've finished my work now, and I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Li Mingyan patted He Muchen on the shoulder and whispered in He Muchen's ear, "Muchen! It's so sour."
After saying that, he smiled and joked with Zhou Rui, "Little friend, remember to come visit me when you have time. I'll be waiting for you at the studio."
Zhou Rui happily replied, "Okay, brother."
Li Mingyan wanted to laugh when he saw He Muchen's ashen face. This was really interesting. Would life be incredibly interesting from now on?
Li Mingyan walked up to Sister Hong and smiled, "Sister Hong, I'll retouch the photos when I get back and send them to you later."
Sister Hong smiled happily: "Okay, photographer Li will bring over afternoon tea soon, stay and have some."
"Sister Hong, no thanks, I have something to do." Li Mingyan picked up his laptop bag and left.
"Everyone has worked hard. Afternoon tea will be here soon." He patted Bai Xinze on the shoulder again: "Xiao Bai, you've worked hard today."
"It's not hard work, Sister Hong," Bai Xinze said gently.
Sister Hong was very pleased with Bai Xinze's obedience. She wished the three young masters were also so well-behaved.
Hongjie watched as He Muchen put his arm around Zhou Rui's shoulder and walked up to them, saying, "Muchen, be a little more careful, there are other people around. Let go of Zhou Rui's shoulder first."
"Mu Chen, what brings you here?"
With a dark expression, He Muchen grabbed Zhou Rui's wrist and walked out of the photography studio, leaving Sister Hong looking embarrassed. Sister Hong stood there taking three deep breaths, silently repeating to herself: Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't be angry, don't let money get in the way.
Li Tiantian walked to Sister Hong's side, sighed and said, "Sister Hong, don't be angry. He stinky dog has gone crazy again. Let's ignore him and go have afternoon tea."
"Yes, I need to have some afternoon tea to calm myself down, otherwise I'll feel bad and the finance department will blame it on He Muchen."
"Yes, yes, let's blame him. If we don't make him bleed a little, he'll think we girls are pushovers." Li Tiantian was furious at the thought of He Muchen complaining to her mother, and she had nowhere to vent her anger.
