HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

"Xu Lang~~~!"

Shen Qingyue walked to Xu Lang's side, drew out her voice, and pushed his shoulder.

"Stop just watching the show, you should try to persuade them!"

Should I advise against it?

How can I persuade him?

Xu Lang's principle of "customer first" came to mind again.

He adjusted his expression, suppressed a smile, and looked at Shen Qingyue with a troubled expression:

"Don't you know? Celebrities value their reputation the most. Besides, the Super Girl finals are about to begin. Zhang Hanyun is aiming for the championship. If your slander and defamation affect her chances of winning, that would be a huge problem. How much face do I have? How can I possibly advise her?"

"what?"

Startled by Xu Lang's words, the three became even more anxious.

Shen Qingyue's eyes reddened with anxiety, and tears welled up in them.

"I don't care, Xu Lang, you're my boyfriend, you can't abandon me."

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Lang immediately panicked, "Hey, don't talk nonsense! You said you broke up with him yourself."

"That was all a joke, but you can't just ignore me."

Shen Qingyue has become attached to Xu Lang.

She said this not just because she was afraid Zhou Man would sue her; she wasn't stupid either. Even now, she could see that Xu Lang had a very promising future.

A photo for 5,000 yuan? Where can you find a boyfriend like that?

Putting everything else aside, just taking pictures of myself would be worth it!

Last month, she threw a tantrum and broke up with Xu Lang, intending to control him.

For some reason, Xu Lang suddenly stopped falling for her act.

If Xu Lang were still the same Xu Lang, she wouldn't regret it. After all, in university, the fishpond is bigger, and she can meet bigger fish.

But now, he suddenly felt that the fish he had released before was actually the biggest one.

At this moment, Shen Qingyue truly felt a pang of regret.

Upon hearing this, Xu Lang hadn't even reacted yet, but Wang Xuan, who was standing not far away, turned green with anger.

"Holy crap, Shen Qingyue, what do you mean? So all this time I spent money on you, coaxed you, and pursued you, and before I even officially held your hand, you just dumped me?"

Looking at the large table of food, he felt like he was the biggest sucker.

Seeing that Shen Qingyue was making things more and more chaotic, Xu Lang could no longer sit still.

He stood up, glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Zhou Man and Zhang Hanyun.

"Manager Zhou, it's true that Wang Xuan and the others were wrong to slander Zhang Hanyun. I think it would be better if you wrote them an apology statement, had them sign it, and put their fingerprints on it, then we'd call it even. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xuan forgot about arguing with Shen Qingyue and quickly said:

"Yes, I was just talking nonsense online. We're from the same hometown, so please don't take it too seriously, Manager Zhou."

To be honest, Zhou Man's threat to sue was purely a bluff. Such a defamatory lawsuit was small-scale and had no significant impact, so no court paid any attention to her.

She was just trying to scare the students who were not yet in the workforce.

This is a common tactic used by talent agencies.

Now that Xu Lang has actually said that, how could she disagree?

Although I agree, I still have to put on a show.

Zhou Man looked at Xu Lang, her face showing great difficulty. After hesitating for a long time, she finally said:

"Teacher Xu, that's why you said it; otherwise, we definitely wouldn't have been able to let this go so easily."

With that, she was giving Xu Lang plenty of face.

Shen Qingyue was filled with regret. "Sigh, why did I have to be so reckless back then? If we hadn't broken up yet, none of this mess would have happened!"

At that moment, Zhou Man took out paper and pen from her briefcase, wrote an apology statement, and had Wang Xuan and the other two sign it and put their fingerprints on it.

That put the matter at an end.

And so, the gathering, each with its own agenda, came to an end.

The meal cost nearly six thousand yuan in total, and Wang Xuan gritted his teeth as he paid the bill.

He then ignored Shen Qingyue and left with Bai Yang.

Shen Qingyue looked at Xu Lang with a pitiful expression; any man would have softened at that look.

But Xu Lang wouldn't.

He didn't have any feelings for Shen Qingyue, and having seen through everything about relationships between men and women in his previous life, how could he possibly be soft-hearted?

However, looking at Shen Qingyue's appearance, he realized she was indeed a beauty, and he had other thoughts.

After a moment's hesitation, Xu Lang said to Shen Qingyue:

"You've spent so much time and still haven't taken any photos. How about this, once I'm done with this, I'll take a few for you for free."

"real?"

Shen Qingyue excitedly stepped forward and grabbed Xu Lang's hand. "Xu Lang, I knew you were the best to me. Why don't we make up?"

Shen Qingyue wasn't just saying that because of the photo; her thoughts had changed, and she wanted to completely tie Xu Lang down.

"Stop, stop, stop!"

Seeing that Shen Qingyue was about to put on an emotional and tragic act again, Xu Lang quickly stopped her.

"We'll talk about making up later, it depends on how you behave."

"Okay, I'll definitely listen to you."

"Alright, you can go back now. I have things to do."

"Okay, then I won't bother you anymore. Don't tire yourself out. I'm leaving now."

Shen Qingyue looked pitiful, turning back every few steps as she walked away alone.

Seeing this, Zhang Hanyun walked over with a giggle.

After what just happened, she and Xu Lang became allies. "Brother Xu, are you really planning to make up with her? Let me tell you, she seems very vain. She's only saying that because she thinks you have a bright future."

"You little brat, you seem to know everything."

Xu Lang patted Zhang Hanyun's head, but she shook him off in disgust. "I hate how self-righteous you adults are. Besides, you're not that much older than me, so why do you always say I'm young?"

Although Xu Lang looks only 18 years old, he is already 40 years old in his mind, about the same age as Zhang Hanyun's father.

"Since you helped me today, I'll teach you a lesson so you won't get scammed in the future."

"Okay, go ahead."

"Most men have a belief in their hearts: 'Don't let down a good girl, don't waste a bad girl.' If you can understand these two sentences, you'll know why I treat Shen Qingyue this way."

"Don't let down good girls, and don't waste bad girls?"

Not only Zhang Hanyun, but even Zhou Man was pondering this sentence.

Soon, the way they looked at Xu Lang changed, and they both criticized him:

"You're despicable! How could you use that as a standard?"

"cut!"

Xu Lang scoffed indifferently, "What's the big deal? Aren't many men and women like this? It's fine to do things but not say them, but it's problematic to be honest about them?"

Hmph, you guys are just being hypocritical.

The three of them really couldn't discuss this issue.

However, Xu Lang really hopes that more girls will know about this experience, which seems to be from a male perspective.

"Do you want to be a good girl who won't be let down, or a bad girl who won't be wasted?"

I don't know what Zhang Hanyun was thinking, but Zhou Man felt that her previous worldview had been completely overturned after spending half a day with Xu Lang.

"How could this person think like this? What kind of terrifying thoughts are these?"

As she was lost in thought, Xu Lang suddenly asked:

"By the way, Manager Zhou, was the dirt Wang Xuan mentioned something that existed before, or is it new?"

"Ugh!"

Zhou Man shook her head slightly, clearing away her previous impressions of Xu Lang, and switched to work mode:

"Actually, Han Yun's scandals have existed from the beginning, but as her fame grew, the scandals became more and more numerous and outrageous."

Zhou Man opened a webpage on her phone for Xu Lang to see, "What Wang Xuan just said is what just came out, but it's also the most outrageous."

As they were talking, Zhou Man suddenly had an idea and took the initiative to explain to Xu Lang:

"Teacher Xu, don't listen to the nonsense online. Although Hanyun doesn't like studying and has a strong rebellious streak, she really didn't take any indecent photos. I can assure you that."

Zhang Hanyun was also furious. "These people are just jealous of my popularity and are deliberately trying to smear me!"

"Yes, I believe you."

Xu Lang's words touched both Zhou Man and Zhang Hanyun.

Zhang Hanyun, holding Xu Lang's hand, said with some emotion:

"Brother Xu, thank you for trusting me."

"Uh... I don't trust you."

Xu Lang looked Zhang Hanyun up and down. "I don't think anyone would take indecent photos of you. You're not even fully grown yet, what's there to see? Like looking at Want Want Little Buns?"

"Ahhhhh!"

Zhang Hanyun was going crazy. She bared her teeth at Xu Lang, wishing she could bite him a couple of times to vent her anger.

"Xu Lang, I challenge you to a duel! Sister Man, let me go!"

Zhou Man also felt that Xu Lang had gone too far. How could he talk to a little girl like that? It was too hurtful to her self-esteem.

She didn't even want to stop Zhang Hanyun anymore, but Xu Lang's next words made her change her mind:

"I have a direction for photographing Zhang Hanyun!"
