Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

“Sorry, it meant exactly what I said just now.” Yu Che’s words were firm and left no room for argument. “I think if you kept the negatives of the photos, you would definitely show them off to your peers, or hang them in your shop, or participate in competitions or something. Look, isn’t your place full of all kinds of photos?”

The walls are covered with picture frames, all of which are Lin Xingxing's masterpieces, a routine practice at the photography studio.

Displaying the best photos builds trust with new clients.

Many are like this.

Lin Xingxing stammered in response.

"I didn't...I...okay...that's what I meant. But I absolutely didn't intend to secretly take it to a competition or display it here! I'm not that kind of person; these kinds of things always require the client's consent!"

"Oh, that makes it simple, we disagree."

"Waaah, I'm willing to pay...!"

"You don't understand at all... This isn't about money at all. Fine, since you don't understand the situation at all, I'll explain it to you simply."

Yu Che was too lazy to deal with this issue any further.

Some matters of principle, which are matters of extreme importance to them, are simply not open to discussion.

Yu Che swept her fingers around her surroundings, finally pointing at herself.

"Simply put, my brother is an extremely important member of our family, and we will not allow his photos to be displayed at the competition venue for everyone to see, understand?"

Yu Che...!

Yu Zhe was so moved that he almost forgot to stand up from his duck-sitting position. He stood up, pulled his skirt down as low as possible to cover more of his thighs, and thought to himself, "My good sister, I haven't spoiled you for nothing since you were little!"

Lin Xingxing was a bit confused.

what...

family?

So, they're all brothers and sisters? That's how Lin Xingxing understood it.

She couldn't understand it in any other way!

Lin Xingxing frowned and pushed up her red-rimmed glasses with her finger.

She was a professional photographer after all, and she had encountered questions like the one raised by the little girl in front of her before.

It's just that the clients have some misunderstandings about photography competitions.

Regardless of whether it works or not, she still wants to try again.

"Miss...cough, miss, you've misunderstood. Photos used in a photography competition can't be described with such a derogatory term as 'for all to see'...This is an art exhibition; there are photos of people, landscapes, and animals. Generally speaking, the participants judge a photo's aesthetics and meaning from a professional perspective, without any other emotions involved. We will also protect the privacy of the people in the photos. Besides...I have no idea where you are from..."

Lin Xingxing felt that this was not only something to be opposed to, but also an honor. Seeing her family members reach the highest podium in the photography world with just one photo, wasn't that an honor and a source of pride?

How could Yu Che not understand what she was saying?

The Su family has its own photography business with a large number of professional photographers. Yu Che knows very well that these city-level photography competitions are very formal.

Yu Che scratched his head in frustration, and this time he spoke less subtly than before.

"Alright, Miss Lin, I'm not going to argue with you about whether a photography competition is noble or not. In my opinion, once a photo is put into a competition, it's meant to be seen by everyone. You just don't know it, but he's everyone's lover. Since he's our lover, do you understand possessiveness? If you understood possessiveness, would you still be here telling me about 'something to be proud of'? Sorry, we're not that open-minded, we're quite conservative, so from now on, just do as I say, there's no room for discussion!"

"Oh...you two are lovers...love...wait?!"

Lin Xingxing suddenly opened her eyes wide.

I was utterly shocked!

Lovers...?! You're saying you're all his lovers?

Well, let's not even talk about the fact that Lin Xingxing simply couldn't see that silver-haired beauty as a boy. Even if she could, isn't this a bit beyond common sense?

And what this silver-haired loli called the silver-haired beauty just now was...

The bigger problem is! From the moment this silver-haired loli stated this fact, these girls all stood tall and proud, showing no intention of refuting it at all!

Lin Xingxing was completely overwhelmed by the amount of information and was "petrified" on the spot.

Yu Zhe really felt sorry for this poor photographer chasing his dream...

But he would absolutely never allow his photos in women's clothing to appear in any city-level photography competition!

What are you doing? Social annihilation isn't enough, you want city-wide social annihilation too?! That's impossible.

Therefore, Yu Zhe also made the same suggestion: "Although I am very sorry... Ms. Lin, I myself do not agree to use my photo to participate in the competition, and there is no room for discussion."

"what..."

The distance between heaven and earth is so close.

If the parties involved do not authorize her, Lin Xingxing naturally cannot act on her own initiative.

But... even if I can't use it for competitions, can I...?

Before she could finish her thought, Yu Che's next sentence completely extinguished Lin Xingxing's slightest thought of resorting to crooked means.

"Oh, and you don't need to think about keeping the negatives for your own enjoyment even if you don't participate in the competition, right? Like I said, my brother's photos won't be allowed on anyone else's phone. And coincidentally, we happen to have someone among us who knows about computers and cameras, Mom?"

"Here it comes! Little Yuche, you asked me to help you check it out, right?"

"Yes, you can supervise this later to make sure that none of the electronic devices here leave any negatives. Lu Ling and Lu Yao will help."

“Miss…I understand…” “Okay.” Lu Ling and Lu Yao got up to get to work.

Actually, Yang Qiuyun is good enough on her own. With her genius brain and hard work in self-study, she is very knowledgeable about computers and data.

She smiled wryly.

"Alright, alright~ Aren't you being a little too possessive of Xiao Yuzhe?"

"Tsk, you think I'm the only one like this? Aren't they all the same?"

Isn't that right...?

Besides Yu Che, everyone could tell the same thing from their expressions.

Xiao Yuzhe... I really don't know whether to say you're lucky or that you're being controlled too strictly~

57. Take more pictures next time.

He was incredibly domineering.

Logically speaking, if a customer suddenly starts messing with the store's computer, the store owner would definitely be unhappy. What if they modify my payment information or plant a virus to deliberately cause damage?

But Lin Xingxing doesn't dare to speak now.

Because Yang Qiuyun had already revealed her identity before going to her computer to monitor the database.

—A senior executive of the Su Group.

The Su Group?!

Even after spending so many years in Kromer, this name was still incredibly famous to Lin Xingxing.

Klomo has a headquarters in Fenghai City, a provincial capital in China, and Lin Xingxing, who is thousands of miles away, knows a little about it.

Lin Xingxing didn't know exactly how high up they were.

There was also the question of whether it was true or false, and Lin Xingxing didn't dare to confirm it.

Because of that silver-haired loli! She just pulled a black and gold bank card out of her pocket and slammed it on the table!

"Listen, if you find something missing from your computer before we leave, just take this bank card. It probably has... well, I can't say for sure, but it'll definitely be enough to take over ten of your shops."

"!"

I understand, I understand!

We can't afford to offend them, we really can't afford to offend them.

Yu Zhe felt a great sense of relief. He rubbed his shoulders and seized the opportunity to move to the backstage dressing room.

"Ahem... alright? Then I'll go change my clothes back... okay?"

Little Lychee reacted quickly.

Upon hearing this, she quickly grabbed the light purple dress she had just admired and chased after him!

"Brother Yuzhe! Change into this next one!"

"I'll trade you my hammer?!"

"what!"

This time, Yu Zhe turned around, not to strike her head with a chopstick.

Instead, use a headbutt!

Even with the headbutt, it couldn't cause any real damage to Xiao Lizhi; instead, Yu Zhe's head was buzzing.

He brushed aside his silver bangs, rubbed his forehead, glanced at Little Lychee, and complained, "Ugh...didn't I tell you, I'm only wearing one layer!"

"Hey...but Sister Yuche said...you'll wear a few more layers..."

"Yu Che's opinion doesn't matter! Since when has Yu Che's word become more influential than mine? If I say I won't wear it, then I won't wear it!"

"Ah, Brother Yuzhe is cheating!"

"You have to resort to cheating in times like this!"

With a hum, Yu Zhe wanted to go to the dressing room to change his clothes.

This is Yu Zhe in a state of exasperation, so unyielding and full of threats, but actually just trying to use this momentum to slip away!

But how could he escape Yu Che's little clutches when he tried to run away?

Before he even entered the locker room, he felt his shirt being grabbed.

Looking back, there was Yu Che with a kind and understanding smile on his face.

"Brother~ that's not right. If you're obedient... then you can just wear three more layers? If you're not obedient, then you have to try them all on! Which one do you choose?"

"This time, I'm not choosing any of them! You're really getting cocky, Su Yuche. Do you think I can't refuse to wear them just because you tell me to?"

"Waaah...my brother rejected me...!"

"Playing the victim won't work! You're not pitiful at all, because I'm the one who's pitiful!"

"Heh heh, we've been found out, that's a real shame~ But..."

"Uh, what are you trying to do... what kind of gesture is that?!"
