After Mistakenly Binding The Matchmaker System

Boss's Favorite (22)

Li Shu's eyes were sincere, and Mother Li believed what he said unconsciously.

"Do what you want to do. Since it's what you like, your dad and I will support you."

Seeing Mother Li relax, Li Shu breathed a sigh of relief. Most of the reason for the death of the original owner's parents was because they felt they were a burden to their son. They made it impossible for their son to finish college, leading him to enter the entertainment industry prematurely and encounter everything that followed. To change the tragedy in the original plot, he had to change the Li couple's mindset.

As the city lights came on, the whole city was shrouded in light. The ZERE office was brightly lit, and everyone was making final preparations for the shoot of the new issue of the magazine.

Zhu Jinghe tapped the desk with a pen. Under her calm appearance, there was a strong sense of unease. This was a gamble. If they won, they would rise to great heights; if they lost, they would face an even deeper abyss.

Early in the morning, Qin Ran came to pick up Li Shu in his car.

It was only when Li Shu got in the car that he realized there was someone else driving. He was wearing a mask, sunglasses, and a beige trench coat. His back looked familiar.

Qin Ran got into the passenger seat and the man who was tightly wrapped up asked in a low voice, "Are you settled in?"

The car window rolled up slowly, and the man took off his sunglasses. Sure enough, he was someone familiar.

"Brother Fu?" Li Shu pretended to be surprised.

"I'll give you guys a ride." Fu Xilan's voice was lazy. He squinted his eyes and glanced back, like a big satisfied lion.

Li Shu glanced at Qin Ran, who looked a bit depressed after getting in the car, and understood. No wonder Fu Xilan had shown some hostility when they first met.

These two...

Li Shu just pretended that he hadn't seen anything.

After pulling himself together, Qin Ran talked to Li Shu about some precautions. He had already mentioned them in an email, but he felt uneasy, so he repeated them now.

During this time, Fu Xilan clicked his tongue impatiently. He was glared at fiercely by Qin Ran, and he drove obediently

After getting out of the car, Qin Ran reverted to his usual elite demeanor, and the slump on his face was driven away. Fu Xilan stayed in the car; if he got out, it would surely cause a sensation.

The car window was specially treated, so people outside couldn't see inside. Li Shu glanced back and asked in a low voice, "Brother Qin, is it okay to leave Brother Fu alone here?"

"It's okay, let him wait here."

Although Qin Ran's tone was calm, Li Shu felt like there was a gnashing of teeth as he spoke.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Fu Xilan watched the two figures recede, his eyes gradually deepening.

The chief editor of ZERE personally welcomed them. She attached great importance to today's shoot. Whether ZERE could turn the tide depended on today.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the two parties got straight to the point. ZERE had a dedicated photographer. He was called Jonathan. He hailed from the United States, a handsome uncle with blond hair and blue eyes.

Jonathan was very satisfied with Li Shu's appearance. Upon seeing him in person, he exclaimed, "Oh Li, you're even more beautiful than in the photos!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Jonathan."

Li Shu had a strong sense of the camera. After styling, he could pose effortlessly and made Jonathan take several photos with good results at any random stop.

For a photographer, working with someone who had a good sense of the camera was very comfortable. The originally planned one-day shoot ended in half a day with their cooperation.

After it was over, Jonathan seemed reluctant to part with Li Shu. "Li, are you interested in being my model?"

Li Shu: "Of course, I'm interested, but I'm about to join a crew soon, so in terms of time..."

"That's okay. I'm tentatively scheduling it for the end of December. I'll email you when it's confirmed."

Jonathan raised his glass. Under the light, the bright red liquid in the glass was blurry and alluring.

Li Shu lightly tapped his glass. "Well then, happy collaboration."

Jonathan: "Happy collaboration."

There was a slight clicking sound. Li Shu glanced in the direction of the sound and casually looked away.

Jonathan: "What's wrong, Li?"

Li Shu shook his head. "Nothing."

It was just that some people couldn't resist making a move after a few days of silence.

That evening, a photo of Li Shu and Jonathan smiling and clinking glasses appeared in Mo Yanzhi's computer in the form of an anonymous email.

The angle chosen by the photographer was excellent. In the photo, there are only two people smiling and looking at each other. Under the misty light, there is an inexplicable ambiguity.

As the man looked at the people in the photo, his eyes gradually darkened.
