73 Photographing Couple Pictures
These few days, Lin Xi no longer cared about the company’s matters. During the day, she would sketch. After Chen Che got off work, the two of them would go on dates.
The days passed very calmly, but Chen Che realized that something was wrong with Lin Xi. He could always see the worry in her eyes.
Chen Che knew that even if he asked, Lin Xi would definitely not tell him, so he took the opportunity to go to LI Costume Design Company during lunch.
This was the first time Chen Che had come to Lin Xi’s company. The woman sitting at the front desk was playing with her phone and looked like she had nothing to do.
!!
“I’m looking for Han Jiarui. Can you help me call her?”
After Chen Che finished speaking, the woman at the front desk glanced at him and called Han Jiarui. “CEO Han, someone is looking for you.”
Not long after, Han Jiarui walked out of the company. When she saw Chen Che, she could not help but be surprised.
“Why are you here?” Han Jiarui asked.
Chen Che went straight to the point. “I want to ask what’s wrong with Lin Xi recently. Is she in trouble?”
Han Jiarui paused with a complicated expression.
Since Lin Xi had been hiding it from Chen Che, she definitely did not want him to know about her predicament, so she should not say anything.
“Nothing. You’re thinking too much.”
After Han Jiarui answered, she unnaturally avoided Chen Che’s gaze.
It was blatantly obvious that she was lying.
A week ago, Chen Che had already sensed that something was wrong with Lin Xi. However, at that time, he thought that Lin Xi was too tired from work, so she was listless.
However, after a few days of observation, Chen Che guessed that Lin Xi must be in trouble.
“Han Jiarui, just tell me what happened to Lin Xi.”
Chen Che was extremely anxious. At this moment, his mind was running wild with many guesses.
“I’m not leaving till you tell me what is going on!”
Seeing how determined he was, Han Jiarui shook her head helplessly. “Since you want to know so much, I won’t hide it from you.”
“A week ago, the company was exposed for infringement and plagiarism, so many partners and suppliers terminated their contracts. The company is in difficulty now.”
“Despite our best efforts to explain, prove our innocence, and do our best, we still failed to hold on to the company.”
Han Jiarui looked lonely and sighed. “If nothing has changed during this period of time, we’ll have to close the company and move out next month.”
Recalling the years of hard work, Han Jiarui’s heart ached.
At this moment, Chen Che asked thoughtfully, “Then if someone invests, can the company be saved?”
“Of course, but the company’s reputation isn’t good now. Who’s willing to invest?” Han Jiarui looked helpless.
Chen Che stood rooted to the ground and pondered. The cash return time was June 6th. As long as the money was transferred, he could invest in Lin Xi’s company.
“Don’t worry, someone will definitely invest in it. Just wait a little longer!”
Chen Che smiled, looking extremely sunny.
“Thank you for your kind words.”
Han Jiarui’s lips twitched. Actually, she knew very well that the probability of someone investing was lower than winning the lottery.
After Chen Che left, Han Jiarui returned to the company. When she saw Lin Xi sitting by the window in a daze, she wanted to say something but held it back.
She had asked Lin Xi before what she wanted to do if the company was gone.
At that time, Lin Xi said that if the company was gone, she would return to her hometown in the countryside with Chen Che. She still had some savings. When she returned home, she would open a small supermarket and accompany her parents. It was not a bad choice.
Han Jiarui was a little sad. Lin Xi was clearly so talented in design, but she had to be buried in a small mountain village.
However, since Lin Xi had already decided, there was no need to persuade her anymore. As long as she was happy, it was better than anything else.
The next day.
The program was about to end, so the production team prepared many activities for the final period.
Due to Fang Weixun and Zheng Hui’s withdrawal, there were only six couples left.
When Chen Che and Lin Xi arrived at the broadcast station building, the other contestants were already in position.
The host began to announce, “Today’s event is a couple photoshoot.”
“We will provide clothes and beauty products, but you have to style yourself and put on your own makeup. The photos will be posted online to vote. The couple with the first vote will receive a prize of $3,000!”
The prize money this time was higher than the previous few times. It seemed that because the show was about to end, the production team had to be more generous.
“Is everyone ready?” the host asked with a smile.
“We’re ready!” Everyone replied in unison.
“Alright, we can enter the dressing room to choose your outfits now!”
After the host finished speaking, everyone immediately rushed into the dressing room, afraid that if they were late, they would have little left to pick from.
Lin Xi and Chen Che walked into the dressing room unhurriedly and chose seriously.
“Chen Che, this black suit is not bad. Try it.”
Lin Xi had just handed the suit over when she was intercepted halfway.
Luo Yuelin snatched the suit from Lin Xi’s hand and looked at her arrogantly. “I chose this suit just now, but I didn’t have time to take it.”
Lin Xi glanced at her indifferently and pulled Chen Che to another hanger.
“Chen Che, you’re suited to carry off white. This white suit suits you very well!”
With that, Lin Xi glanced at Luo Yuelin, who was not far away.
...
Now, Luo Yuelin could no longer snatch the clothes she liked.
Chen Che entered the fitting room with the suit. After a while, he came out. Everyone’s gazes landed on him.
White was not an easy color to style, and Chen Che was tall and had long legs. Years of physical work made his figure especially stylish. This suit looked like it was tailor-made for him.
At this moment, Li Wei happened to walk out of the fitting room. Although Li Wei was not bad-looking, he had not exercised all year round and his figure was much worse than Chen Che’s.
Moreover, Li Wei was not as tall as Chen Che. Standing beside him, he was instantly inferior.
Luo Yuelin gritted her teeth when she saw the two of them standing together.
Unexpectedly, Chen Che, the pauper, looked ordinary usually, but he looked like a different person in a suit.
Chen Che walked up to Lin Xi and asked with a smile, “Is your boyfriend handsome? Are you stunned?”
Lin Xi’s face instantly turned red. She glared at him coquettishly. “How narcissistic!”
Chen Che chuckled and said, “How can I be worthy of a wife as beautiful as a fairy if I’m not handsome!”
Lin Xi’s face turned even redder, and the blush spread behind her ears.
...
“Lin Xi, I’m wearing a white suit. Are you going to find a white dress to wear?”
As soon as Chen Che finished speaking, a cry of surprise came from the side.
Luo Yuelin was holding a cup of coffee in her hand and accidentally spilled it on a white halter dress. The brown beverage instantly stained the dress.
“Sorry! I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Luo Yuelin hurriedly apologized to the director. It was just a dress, so the director did not pursue the matter.
Lin Xi’s eyes darkened. She knew that Luo Yuelin had deliberately dirtied that dress to target her.
