The silver metal box was opened, and countless diamonds emitted dazzling light under the spotlight, taking everyone's breath away. Even Lin Dan, who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Before coming, the staff at the bank's vault had already counted the diamonds using a machine. They will count them again after the filming is over and have appraisers verify the authenticity of each diamond one by one to make sure no one has swapped them.
From the time the diamonds are shipped out of the warehouse, counted, shipped on the road, photographed, and finally returned to the warehouse, this is bound to be a huge project. A lot of people have poured their energy and hard work into every link, and all this is just to take a set of photos.
The assistant's eyes on Baird had completely changed. He had always thought that his boss was a very calm, shrewd and ruthless businessman, but only now did he realize that if he went crazy, he could easily kill the most dissolute playboy in the world in seconds.
Is it worth it to please a woman? The assistant silently accused the boss with his eyes, but found that his eyes were fixed on Lin Dan and he was reluctant to move away for a moment. No doubt he thought it was worth it, or else a smile wouldn't have stretched to his lips.
Lin Dan stood barefoot on the black soft carpet. Her expression seemed calm, but her ears were burning. She was not blind, so she could not ignore Baird's burning gaze.
Auston stood in front of Baird, blocking his view, and then made an unprecedented compromise: "Given the huge value of your diamonds, I am only going to sprinkle them once. Whether or not we get the ideal photo, we will end the shoot. During the shoot, no one except Lin can cross these baffles and enter the area where the diamonds fall. We will never get involved in the work of recovering the diamonds, so please rest assured."
Baird took two steps to the side and said gently but firmly, "Since I have brought the diamond, I will not be afraid of trouble. Please make sure to take pictures of Miss Lin in her best form."
Austin frowned even more, gave him a sidelong glance, and walked back to the shooting location, silently adjusting the camera.
The female editor standing next to the two men was really convinced now. She had never met a more generous suitor than Baird. Compared with these priceless diamonds, it is obvious that Lin means much more to him. He would rather throw these diamonds a few more times to capture Lin Dan's most beautiful side. Does he know how much trouble he will get into by doing this? Of course he knew it, but for Lin, he was not afraid of any trouble.
The female editor took a closer look at Baird and suddenly felt her heart pounding. He is so handsome, has such a noble temperament, and is very gentle and considerate. I think every woman would want to marry him, right? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Lin Dan, but saw that she just lowered her head and adjusted her skirt. There was no special expression on her face, and her eyes were not on Baird. She is also a woman who only has work in her eyes and heart, and can put everything else behind her for work. If she doesn't succeed, who will?
Auston adjusted the camera and began to adjust the lighting in the scene. Finally, he said to Lin Dan, "We only have one chance to shoot, so I don't ask much of you. You just need to strike a pose and hold on without blinking."
When there are falling objects above your head, it is almost human instinct to blink or even close your eyes in order to protect yourself! If this requirement is not high, what is high? The female editor was secretly shocked, and Baird couldn't help but frowned. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Dodge, you don't have to do this. I told you I can lend you these diamonds for unlimited photography until you take photos that you are satisfied with."
Auston didn't even glance at him, but stared at Lin Dan and asked, "Can you do it?"
Lin Dan said firmly, "I can do it." He looked at Baird and smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Adams, but please believe me, I can do it. I won't let you take any unnecessary risks."
Baird's ears quickly turned red. He looked at her deeply before retreating back to his original position and said softly, "Of course I trust you. Please go back to work."
While the three were talking, the security personnel were using a scanner to count the number of diamonds to make sure they were the same as before leaving the warehouse. Then they poured them into a machine specially used for scattering diamonds. Just hang the machine above the model and press the remote control, and the diamonds inside will fall evenly.
Everyone looked at the diamonds with bated breath, their eyes full of sparkling light, and then carefully used a rope to lift the machine above Lin Dan's head. When everything was in place, Baird walked to the second floor of the studio holding dozens of diamonds and a remote control. He said that he would personally create this beautiful scene for Lin Dan.
Lin Dan looked up at him, her black and white eyes full of smiles. The more they got along, the more she could feel how sincere Mr. Baird Adams' heart was. He is really cute.
Baird, who had never expected Lin Dan to suddenly look up at him, was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to smile back, he saw that she had lowered her head and looked at Austin, with an annoyed expression on her face.
Before Baird came, Auston was always very patient and never got annoyed no matter how many times he had to reshoot. But when Baird arrived, for some reason, he suddenly wanted to speed up the process and finish the filming. These people are really an eyesore!
He urged, "Lin, are you ready? I want to shoot!"
"I'm ready." Lin Dan clasped his hands and placed them on his abdomen. He raised his chin a little higher than usual. His dark eyes were filled with cold light as he stared straight ahead. He seemed very indifferent, strong, and arrogant. In just a moment, she grasped the feeling that Auston wanted.
Auston's impatience was instantly replaced by joy, and he shouted, "Honey, yes, that's it! From my lens, you are gorgeous! We will take the best photos, believe me." At last, he raised his hand and ordered, "OK, sprinkle the diamonds!"
Baird immediately pressed the remote control, then stretched out his hand and sprinkled the most dazzling handful of diamonds. He stood by the fence, looking down intently, his hands clenched into fists behind his back, as if he was suppressing the admiration in his heart. He had always known that Lin Dan was beautiful, but every time they met, she became more beautiful than the last time.
Foreign objects kept falling on his head, but Lin Dan never blinked. Her eyes were clear, deep and resolute, like a knife cutting through Austin's lens, leaving a permanent mark. Auston had already set the automatic shutter, but he couldn't help but stare at the monitor, constantly adjusting his increasingly rapid breathing. The falling time of the diamond was very short, only tens of seconds, and the shooting was over, but he gained countless beautiful images.
The female editor stood behind him, her eyes fixed on the computer screen.
Lin Dan stood there and asked, "How was the result?" Such an extravagant shoot would probably tire Baird's staff to death if they did it again. Just picking up diamonds was a huge project.
Auston stared at the screen without saying anything. The female editor slowly raised her hands and clapped, her face full of admiration.
Baird walked down from the second floor, stared at the computer for a while, and said in a very hoarse voice: "Excuse me, can you give me a copy of these samples?"
"No." Auston rejected it outright.
The female editor readily agreed: "Of course."
When she found that the two had not reached an agreement, the female editor ignored Auston's "tyranny" and said firmly: "Of course you can make a copy. You know, you are our biggest sponsor! Without your generosity, this set of photos would never have been created."
Auston pursed his lips, looking unhappy, but he didn't say anything in the end. If he had known that the supplier of the diamond was Baird, he would rather go through the trouble and go back to find his parents.
Lin Dan's skirt was covered with diamonds, and she couldn't move at all. She could only helplessly remind: "Since the photo shoot is good, can you take back these diamonds?"
"Ah, right away! Ma'am, please stand still and don't move. We will get there by ourselves." Baird's assistant and the bank vault staff almost couldn't wait to walk into the shooting site and began to pick up diamonds one by one.
Baird also walked over immediately and gently took out the diamond that had fallen into Lin Dan's hair. The two looked at each other, their ears turned slightly red, and then they both looked away. Baird didn't let anyone get close to Lin Dan. He picked up all the diamonds on her skirt by himself. When he bent down, no one would notice that his handsome face was slightly flushed with shyness and joy.
A quarter of an hour later, all the diamonds in the venue were returned to the safe. Baird helped Lin Dan straighten her skirt, then turned around to get her high heels, but she grabbed his wrist.
"Please wait a moment." Lin Dan said with a blushing face, "It seems that there is still a diamond that you haven't taken back."
Baird looked at her in confusion. She turned her back, inserted her fingertips into her deep cleavage, and pulled out a sparkling diamond. When she placed the diamond in Baird's palm, it still had a slight warmth and a faint fragrance, which was her body temperature and body odor.
Baird quickly grasped the diamond tightly, and his cheeks flushed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Lin Dan, who was originally feeling very uncomfortable, suddenly felt much more relaxed when she saw his extremely shy expression, and couldn't help but turn her head away and chuckle. She lifted her long skirt and knelt down, as gracefully as a princess: "Mr. Adams, is the number of diamonds correct? Can I leave the filming location?" She would not be allowed to leave until she was sure of the number of diamonds, because only she had the opportunity to keep these treasures privately.
Baird woke up as if from a dream and went to see his assistant immediately. The assistant took a scanner and quickly scanned the diamonds in the safe, then shook his head and said, "Boss, one is missing."
"I have another one here." Baird raised his fist, and the assistant breathed a sigh of relief.
After confirming the number is correct, the appraiser has to identify the authenticity of the diamonds on the spot to ensure that they have not been swapped. This is another time-consuming and laborious task. No one is allowed to leave the studio until this project is completed. Fortunately, Baird was wealthy and brought with him 18 appraisers who were very professional and could conduct appraisals very quickly. He didn't care whether the other diamonds were intact. He just held the hot diamond tightly, not giving anyone the chance to touch it, but his eyes followed Lin Dan.
Auston gave him a serious look and took Lin Dan into his lounge.
