Zheng Zening smiled and pointed at Fan Youcheng who was standing nearby. "This is Fan's brother Fan Youcheng. He has just opened a photo studio at the school gate. Our class plans to ask Brother Fan to help take a group photo, so we agreed to meet at the playground."
Zhang Jiajia turned to look at Fan Youcheng with surprise in her eyes, and immediately said enthusiastically: "Ah, I also heard that a new photo studio opened in front of the school, and I was just thinking of going over to take a look and take some pictures. I didn't expect that you are Fan's brother. The clothes I'm wearing now were designed for me by Fan! You two are so amazing!"
Fan Youcheng had thought Zhang Jiajia's voice was particularly nice just now. When he met Zhang Jiajia's enthusiastic gaze, he couldn't help but feel his heart pounding as he looked at this bright and beautiful girl. He also stuttered a little when he spoke, "No... No way, my sister is good, I... I'm not good..."
Fan Youcheng felt that he was so embarrassed, and tried to calm himself down. He scratched his head embarrassedly and continued, "Thank you...thank you for the compliment. I'm just starting out, and I still need to work harder!"
Zhang Jiajia smiled with her eyebrows curved, "I believe you can do it. Then can I go to the playground with you? After you take pictures of Zheng's class, can you take a few pictures for me on campus?"
Fan Youcheng nodded frantically, "Of course...
When they arrived at the playground, the students in Zheng Zening's class had already lined up neatly. Fan Youcheng took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and started fiddling with the camera.
"Come on, students, get ready. Everyone look at me. I'm so handsome. Don't look away!"
The classmates were all amused by Fan Youcheng.
"Yes, smile like that. You all smile beautifully. I'll count to one, two, three. No one is allowed to close their eyes!"
"One...two...three...laugh!"
Fan Youcheng pressed the shutter and took a precious group photo of his classmates from the Class of 1978, majoring in political economy at Yangcheng University.
After the photo shoot, he did not forget to promote his own photo studio, "Classmates, my photo studio has just opened. In the first five days of opening, it is only 80 cents to take a 2-inch photo. If you want to take a photo, please go to Shiguang Photo Studio, which is 600 meters east of the school gate, to find me!"
After hearing what he said, several students majoring in political science and economics immediately became interested and said yes with a smile. Then Fan Youcheng said goodbye to his classmates and left.
Zhang Jiajia stood aside, watching Fan Youcheng work quietly, and couldn't help but laugh at his humor.
When calculating the money, Fan Youcheng counted on his fingers for a long time but still couldn't figure it out clearly. He told Zheng Zening the price and asked Zheng Zening to help him calculate it.
With the help of Zheng Zening, this group photo finally cost twelve yuan. There were twenty-four students majoring in political economy. Each six-inch photo cost two yuan and eighty yuan. Twenty-three more copies were printed, and each one was charged for developing. The total cost was exactly twelve yuan.
Fan Youcheng put the money in his pocket and only started taking pictures of Zhang Jiajia alone after Zheng Zening left.
At first, Fan Youcheng was a little nervous. When he saw Zhang Jiajia, his heart beat faster. But after operating the camera, his emotions gradually calmed down.
He carefully guided Zhang Jiajia in posing and helped her find a good angle. Sometimes he took pictures with her legs apart and half squatting, and sometimes he stood on the edge of the flower bed and took pictures from above. Regardless of how the pictures were taken, just looking at Fan Youcheng's poses, you could tell that he was working very hard!
Zhang Jiajia also cooperated with Fan Youcheng and posed to show her best smile.
Fan Youcheng felt that Zhang Jiajia was just like the star on the calendar. She looked good in any photo, so he couldn't help but take a few more photos.
Seeing that he had taken quite a few photos, Zhang Jiajia said with a smile, "Brother Fan, just take this many photos. Count how many photos you took in total and I'll give you the money."
Fan Youcheng scratched his head and said with a smile, "I took eight photos in total, you only need to pay me for five! The other three were because I thought you were so pretty that I couldn't help but take more photos for you, so I can't charge you for them!"
Zhang Jiajia felt embarrassed when she heard this. "How can this be possible? You should pay as much as you can. You didn't make much from this photo to begin with. If you give it away again, you will lose money!"
Fan Youcheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Student Zhang, I want to discuss something with you. Do you think it's okay..."
Zhang Jiajia looked at Fan Youcheng in confusion, "What's the matter?"
"That's right...well, I really think you look great in photogenic situations, and I want to print a few more photos and keep them in our store for promotion. This way I can charge you less for the photos. Do you think that's okay?" Fan Youcheng said seriously.
Zhang Jiajia nodded without hesitation, "Of course, I'll listen to you and give you the money for five photos. Thank you, Brother Fan, for giving me a discount!"
She originally studied broadcasting and hosting, and she was going to work as a host or announcer in a radio station in the future, so she didn't mind this kind of thing at all. Instead, she was very happy that Fan Youcheng chose her for publicity.
Fan Youcheng waved his hands guiltily, "You're welcome, you're welcome!"
He didn't dare tell Zhang Jiajia that he actually said that because he wanted to print a few more pictures and hang them in the store for himself. He was afraid that Zhang Jiajia would disagree, but he didn't expect her to agree so readily!
Fan Youcheng didn't know why, but he was attracted to Zhang Jiajia at first sight. If you just look at her appearance, few people can compare to his sister Fan Hua. However, Zhang Jiajia's generous and confident temperament made Fan Youcheng feel particularly attractive. He couldn't help but feel his heart pounding nervously when he looked at her. This was the first time in his life that he had this feeling towards a girl.
He was excited and a little inferior at the moment! If he was in Fanjia Village before, he would definitely chase after the girl he liked without thinking twice, even if he had to pester her to get her. But now he really didn't dare to do that. The gap was too big!
Fan Youcheng and Zhang Jiajia were in a low mood after they said goodbye and left. They finally met a girl they liked, but she was too outstanding!
When Fan Hua came to the photo studio after class, she saw Fan Youcheng looking a little dejected. Fan Hua thought that Fan Youcheng looked so depressed because there were no customers in the afternoon, so she took the initiative to comfort him, "Brother, this is only the first day of business, many people don't know that there is a photo studio here, so it's normal that there are few people. Take your time!"
Only then did Fan Youcheng put aside his depressed mood and told Fan Hua about going to the campus in the afternoon to take a group photo for the political economy department and to shoot outdoor photos for Zhang Jiajia.
Fan Hua nodded. This was all within her expectations. The photo studio was located next to a university, so there would definitely be more orders for group photos and campus portraits for students in the future.
"Brother, there will definitely be more orders like this in the future. You should take good photos for them. If the customer is not satisfied with the results, you can retake them for free. You must keep up with the service."
Fan Youcheng nodded. Just as he was about to ask Fan Hua about Zhang Jiajia, a new customer came and the two of them had to get busy again.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, the two decided to end their business for the day and checked the accounts one last time. On the first day of opening, the total turnover of Shiguang Photo Studio was 321 yuan!
