Chapter 16: Why didn't I ask earlier
Jiang Yu's Weibo quickly attracted many fans.
"Finally, a Weibo post!"
"Is this photo taken by phone?!"
"It looks so good even though it was taken by phone. Even the composition is flawless..."
"This is City S! Has Shi Yu returned to China?!"
“……”
她发完微博就退出来了，没有去看粉丝的评论，最开始开微博只是想分享一下在各处拍的照片，也是留下自己走过的记忆。
Right after posting, she withdrew from Weibo. And so she didn't see the comments of her fans. In the beginning, she just wanted to share the photos she takes everywhere and to leave a memory of her past. This idea came to her after an accident.
Huo Shiqian is a person who doesn't like to take pictures, so Jiang Yu and his photos are very few, only a few taken by a cellphone. Later, when she went abroad, she went to the top of the mountain to photograph the sunrise, and her mobile phone accidentally fell down the cliff. As she looked at the bottomless cliff for a long time, she felt empty in her heart. She lost her only memory with Huo Shiqian.
So she started a Weibo and occasionally left traces of her traveling around. It was totally unexpected that she had so many fans.
The next day, Wen Shuo took Jiang Yu to the headquarters of "Fashion Style" in S City. There they were welcomed by the editor-in-chief. Wen Shuo had already introduced Jiang Yu to her in advance. It turned out Shi Yu, the internationally renowned photographer, was actually the second Miss of the Shen family. She was shocked by the revelation.
"Miss Jiang, hello, I'm Lu Xue, the editor-in-chief of "Fashion Style"."
"Hello." Jiang Yu nodded at her: "Are you ready for the shooting?"
"We're ready, but the model hasn't arrived yet..."
She raised her hand to look at her watch: "There are still twenty minutes left, I will go to the set first."
"Very well." Lu Xue explained the theme of the shooting to her as she walked. The shooting, this time, concerns the cover of September. Fashion magazines believe in the saying "Golden September Silver October". And so, a lot of thought was spent on the planning this time.
Jiang Yu was sent by Shen Yuchuan after the plan was finalized. So she first looked at the plan and then went to look at the scene set, and communicate with the staff while watching.
Wen Shuo looked at the time, frowned then looked at Lu Xue: "Editor Lu, why hasn't the model arrived yet?"
Lu Xue was about to ask when he saw Jiang Yu approaching: "By the way, who is on the cover this time?"
"Donghong Huadan*, Su Hanxuan."
(*TL: Donghong (当红) means currently popular and Huadan (花旦) means a role in traditional opera. But I have no idea how to translate the two together into an expressive sentence that matches the context.)
Jiang Yu ：…… She's beginning to regret her decision, why didn't she ask who the model was? Anyway, work is work. She still needs to be professional. But she still wondered: "Why is it not Yunyang's artist?"
In such an important month as September, it makes no sense to hand over the cover to artists from other companies?
"Su Hanxuan is an artist under the Huo family, and both their brand and Huo's are fighting for it. What's more, she has just gained tremendous popularity thanks to a role she played in a big-hit drama. She even won the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress."
When Wen Shuo said this, Jiang Yu immediately understood. Su Hanxuan's popularity is exploding and her backup is not lacking. By giving the cover to her, the magazine would benefit and they would be giving Huo Shiqian face.
With this, there would be no problem.
As she was talking, she saw a group of people hurriedly coming from the entrance, Su Hanxuan was walking in the middle with several people surrounding her.
"Editor Lu, we're sorry. There's a bit of traffic on the road." Her agent apologized with a smile.
When Su Hanxuan came in, the first one she saw was Jiang Yu, her eyes sank. Why was she here? But when she heard her agent apologizing, she quickly followed suit.
Lu Xue introduced Jiang Yu to them: "This is the photographer this cover, Jiang Yu."
Photographer? Su Hanxuan had nowhere to vent her unwillingness from yesterday. She felt apprehensive when she saw Jiang Yu, but it turned out she was just a photographer.
There you go another chapter delivered the next day. Ah, why do I even ...
Anyway, big announcement: I got a lot of requests for the raws. And since they were deleted, I decided to post them here and translate them later.
As always, if you enjoy my translation, please consider buying me a Ko-fi.
