"According to the latest news from National Geographic, a shocking incident has occurred in this photography competition: two entrants submitted completely identical photographs! The incident is still under investigation..." On television, a news reporter solemnly reported this shocking news.
[Isn't this the competition my third brother participated in?]
Fortunately, I was prepared.
[Now, Sun Kai's reputation is truly ruined.]
[I told you not to plagiarize! This time, I'll not only get justice for my third brother, but I also want his student to be treated fairly.]
[From now on, let's see how he survives in the photography world.]
[If I weren't here, our family would probably have fallen apart long ago.]
Both Zhao Qiuying and Huo Chengyu looked at Huo Jinning with eyes full of doting affection.
"Third Brother, is this the competition you participated in?" Huo Jinning asked, feigning ignorance.
“That’s right, it’s just a pity we don’t know who plagiarized the idea,” Huo Chengyu replied, feigning ignorance.
[Who else could it be? It's you, you big jerk, betrayed and still clueless.]
[If it weren't for me, you would probably be in dire straits long ago, living a life of sorrow and melancholy.]
"Ningning, this time Third Brother has learned his lesson. He sent all the entries to be notarized early on. Hehe, no one can steal my photography!"
Huo Chengyu made no attempt to hide his boasting, his face beaming with pride.
"What?" Huo Jinning exclaimed in surprise, her voice rising several decibels involuntarily.
[How could this plot twist be so unexpected?]
[But that's fine too; it makes it even more convincing.]
The original negatives I have can also serve as strong evidence, but they still need to be professionally authenticated.
[Haha, Sun Kai's going to get some peanuts this time.]
“It’s your older brother. He believes that using legal means to ensure fairness can better protect our work from infringement, so he specifically instructed the company’s lawyer to make the relevant arrangements in advance,” Zhao Qiuying explained patiently.
"It was actually Big Brother who came up with this idea? Big Brother is so clever!" Huo Jinning exclaimed with admiration.
[I knew it! Someone with my third brother's brain could never have thought of something like this.]
[Hehe, the eldest brother is still the best.]
Hearing his sister and wife praising their elder brother so highly, Huo Chengyu felt a little resentful and couldn't help but say, "Sister, I..."
However, before he could finish speaking, Zhao Qiuying interrupted him: "Third brother, didn't you just say you were going out to run some errands later?"
This sudden question brought Huo Chengyu back to his senses, making him realize that he had almost said something he shouldn't have.
He secretly rejoiced that Zhao Qiuying had reminded him in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Uh, yeah, I have to go out now. Ningning, I'll spend more time with you when I get back. Oh, by the way, I'll take you shopping tomorrow. Just tell me what you want to buy."
As Huo Chengyu spoke, he walked towards the door, trying to prove with his actions that he was no less capable than his older brother.
"Okay, Third Brother, be careful on the road, drive slowly."
"Okay, goodbye."
...
Huo Nanchu, who had been praised, encountered Yue Yitang again after getting drunk last time.
Now, Yue Yitang has followed Huo Jinning's advice and changed careers to become a print model.
Her features have a unique exotic charm, and her figure and appearance are top-notch. With the support of her in-laws, she quickly gained many endorsement opportunities from high-end brands.
This time, she came to participate in the interview for the endorsement of Huo's Jewelry.
As she entered the Huo Group building, she happened to run into Huo Nanchu, who was about to leave.
"Brother Huo?" A hint of surprise flashed in Yue Yitang's eyes.
"Miss Yue." Huo Nanchu tried her best to keep her expression calm.
"Thank you so much for taking me home last time. I'd like to invite you and Ningning to dinner sometime to express my gratitude."
Looking at Yue Yitang's bright smile, Huo Nanchu understood that this young lady had probably drunk too much last time, causing a memory gap, and she had no recollection of what had happened before.
However, Huo Nanchu felt somewhat uncomfortable whenever he thought about the image of her getting close to him.
"Okay, sure." Huo Nanchu nodded politely, without saying anything more.
"That's all for now, Brother Huo, see you next time!"
Yue Yitang waved and turned to walk towards the elevator, leaving Huo Nanchu standing there alone, lost in thought.
She and her agent stepped through the magnificent gates of the Huo family estate.
"Assistant Feng, what brings Miss Yue to the Huo family?" Huo Nanchu asked in a low voice.
Feng Gan quickly stepped forward and respectfully replied, "Reporting to President Huo, she has come at the invitation of our company to become our jewelry spokesperson. Two other candidates have also arrived and are awaiting interviews."
Huo Nanchu nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
"Okay, I got it. Let's go!" With that, he turned and walked towards the luxury car parked at the door.
Seeing that the elevator was empty, Yue Yitang's agent, Lucy, lowered her voice and asked, "Do you know President Huo?"
Yue Yitang nodded slightly, indicating that she had only met the other party twice and was not very familiar with him, but she had a good relationship with President Huo's sister.
Then, assistant Lucy seemed to have something to say but hesitated, finally mustering her courage to speak: "What about this endorsement..."
Yue Yitang understood what she meant and replied decisively, "Don't overthink those useless things. My dad helped me purely because I'm his daughter, and he couldn't just stand by and do nothing."
"I've only met Brother Huo twice, how could he possibly offer his help?"
"Besides, with my appearance, don't you have any confidence in me?"
Upon hearing this, Lucy felt much more relaxed and said with a smile, "That's true."
As the two stepped out of the elevator, they happened to run into two other people.
They smiled and nodded to each other, then quietly found a corner to sit down.
Huo Nanchu returned to the company and, before even sitting down for a drink of water, eagerly inquired with his assistant about the jewelry brand ambassador.
When he learned that Yue Yitang was the final choice, he nodded slightly to indicate that he was aware of it.
However, his outward composure could not conceal the turmoil within him.
During this period of time, due to his busy work schedule, Huo Nanchu had almost no time to attend to other matters, and naturally, he did not have the extra energy to think about Yue Yitang.
But after reuniting with her today, everything that happened that night surged into my mind like a tide, becoming clearer and more profound.
His mind just wouldn't settle down. He tried to concentrate on his work, but his thoughts kept wandering, leaving him feeling quite helpless.
Time ticked by, but the mission made no progress.
In the end, I could only go home early.
