However, once some doors are opened, they cannot be closed as easily as desired.
Jiang Dandan lay face down on the table, her burning cheeks pressed against the cool surface, but it did nothing to cool the turbulent emotions within her.
Jiang Dandan felt that she was already a bad girl.
Even she herself couldn't believe it. Despite being single since birth, she had become curious about pictures and movies featuring very few actors, and had become completely absorbed in them.
Even now, whenever she closes her eyes, a few foreign words will pop into her head.
Some expressed their refusal;
Some are precursors to a "floodgate bursting."
"Beep beep!"
At that moment, a notification sound rang out.
Chen Feng took out his phone and looked at it; it was a text message from Zhao He.
In a text message, Zhao He told Chen Feng that the first batch of videos had been filmed and hoped that Chen Feng would conduct a preliminary review as soon as possible.
"Little Jiang, I'm leaving now."
"Okay, senior, you should hurry up and go..."
Chen Feng curled his lip, thinking to himself that Jiang Dandan was a master of "human engineering mechanics," yet she acted ashamed and embarrassed in front of him. Who would believe it if word got out?
"Watch less of those videos and focus your energy on your work."
After giving a few words of advice, Chen Feng left the library and went to the photography art club office located in the center of the club.
"The Guide to Getting Eight-Pack Abs";
"Soaring to New Heights: The Jumping Power Training Secrets of the School Basketball Captain";
"The Path to Street Dance Mastery: Key Elements to Unlocking High-Level Skills"...
It must be said that under Zhao He's leadership, the members of the photography art club were very efficient. In just one day and one night, they shot 123 short videos.
However, only sixty of the criteria met Chen Feng's requirements, resulting in a pass rate of less than half.
Chen Feng took out 150 yuan and handed it to Zhao He, which surprised Zhao He.
"What's going on? Aren't there only sixty qualified ones? You don't need to give me this much money."
"I will accept everything, good or bad, from the first shoot."
Chen Feng said calmly, "This way, we can both motivate the members of the photography club and enhance your influence within the club. Why not?"
Zhao He glanced at the money, then looked at Chen Feng with a complicated expression. "Boss, you must have been born into a merchant family and been exposed to the ways of the world since childhood, which is why you are so good at understanding people's hearts, right?"
After witnessing firsthand how Hao Nianlei pursued Chen Feng relentlessly only to be rejected by him, Zhao He quietly changed his address for Chen Feng from "junior" to "boss."
Zhao He simply admired this junior who had just entered university.
"To be honest, all my relatives died the year I was born."
Chen Feng waved his hand and said, "My exceptional intelligence and achievements today are all due to my own hard work."
"..."
For a moment, Zhao He didn't know whether to sympathize with Chen Feng's plight or praise Chen Feng's business acumen.
"Senior, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
As Chen Feng walked out of the club center and was about to return to Chenxi Residence, Zhao He hurriedly chased after him.
"Boss, wait!"
Zhao He said breathlessly, "There's been a little unexpected situation at the photography club. Can you come with me to handle it?"
"Senior, are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Chen Feng said speechlessly, "I'm just a partner of the photography art club. Even if something unexpected happens to the photography art club, it has nothing to do with me, right?"
"Boss, this has something to do with you..."
Zhao He explained, "I just received a message from my best friend in the Photography Art Club. He said that Zhang Rui convened a meeting of all members in the activity room of Teaching Building No. 1. The topic was to cancel the cooperation between the Photography Art Club and our website."
From the moment Chen Feng promised him a two-cent commission for each video, Zhao He considered himself a part of Douyin, speaking fluently about "our website."
Chen Feng frowned immediately. "Why?"
"I guess... it's because you slapped Zhang Rui, and she holds a grudge against you, right?"
"Seriously? I just said my website is too low-class and doesn't deserve to publish her sophisticated works. Is that considered slapping her in the face?"
"Could it be that my good friend misunderstood Zhang Rui? Does she not intend to terminate the cooperation?"
Zhao He was also somewhat undecided. To be honest, he felt that Chen Feng's words were not excessive and not worth Zhang Rui's elaborate targeting.
"Never underestimate a woman's pettiness."
Chen Feng sighed. "Let's go take a look."
The No. 1 teaching building is not far from the student club center; it can be reached simply by crossing a road.
"Senior, what was your initial motivation for joining the photography art club?"
"To find a group of like-minded photography enthusiasts, exchange ideas, and improve our skills, huh? Boss, what's with that look? Okay, to be honest, we're doing this for academic credits."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng's expression instantly became more serious.
Stepping into the university gates means stepping into society with one foot in.
So-called passion will gradually be diluted by reality, while tangible benefits such as academic credits and scholarships are what college students value most.
"So, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the members of the photography club don't want to leave?"
"certainly!"
Zhao He answered without hesitation: "Joining the photography art club for a semester will allow me to take one less elective course and one less exam at the end of the semester."
Upon hearing this, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.
This is difficult.
If Zhang Rui really abuses her power and threatens everyone with dismissal to terminate their cooperation with Douyin, I'm afraid no one will stick with it to the end.
After all, compared to academic credits, a reward of one dollar per video isn't very attractive.
...
As it turns out, Zhao He's best friend did not misunderstand Zhang Rui.
When Chen Feng and Zhao He arrived at the activity room, Zhang Rui was standing on the podium, speaking eloquently and passionately.
"I understand that everyone here has signed a cooperation agreement with a website. You help them shoot videos, and they pay you."
“There’s nothing wrong with using your spare time to earn some pocket money.”
"But have you ever thought about it? People's energy is limited. Once you focus on that website, you won't have time to participate in the photography art club's activities."
"Here, in my capacity as president of the Photography Art Society, I would like to set a rule."
"Anyone who wants to continue making videos for that website should come to me immediately to process their withdrawal from the company."
"The school established the Photography Art Club and provides academic credits to enrich everyone's lives and enhance their artistic appreciation, not to have you take pictures of garbage with no artistic value!"
Zhang Rui's voice was exceptionally loud, so much so that Chen Feng and Zhao He, who were standing outside the activity room, could clearly hear every word she said.
Zhao He's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat; he looked extremely nervous.
"Boss, what do we do now?"
Chen Feng put his hands behind his back and muttered to himself, "Senior, I didn't want to slap you, but you've forced me to do this, so I have no choice but to let your cheeks swell up."
