Transmigrated as the Stepmother of a Rebellious Heir-Chapter 202 - 128 Quality

Hearing Wang Tian’s words, Shu Wan finally remembered who Liu Ying was—the woman who inexplicably harbored hostility toward her. frёewebnoѵēl.com

The odds were, today’s photo session was definitely not happening.

On Liu Ying’s side, not only had she taken photographer Wang Yu with her, but even the entire photography team was gone.

At that moment, the photography studio was left with nothing but a few interns who knew next to nothing—there wasn’t a single professional in sight.

"Babe, step forward and stand here. I’ll take a video so they can’t turn things around on us later." After all his experiences, Wang Tian had become wiser.

In the entertainment circle, where public opinion could be flipped in an instant, one must always have evidence of everything.

Shu Wan looked at Wang Tian with some surprise, "You seem to have gotten a bit smarter."

"Of course," Wang Tian began to say before he realized, "Wait, you mean I was stupid before?"

Shu Wan nodded and, before Wang Tian could get riled up, she pointed at the camera in his hand, "No need for a video. Take photos of all the set designs here, make sure not to miss any corner."

"Ah, okay."

Actually, Wang Tian had wanted to ask Shu Wan what to do just moments before, but he didn’t want to come across as an incompetent agent, so he had hesitated to ask.

Now that Shu Wan had taken the initiative to speak, Wang Tian didn’t care for the reason and just followed through.

After all, past experiences had taught him that whenever Shu Wan took charge, things would be set right.

While Wang Tian was collecting photos of the scene, Shu Wan found a lounge chair under a tree, leisurely browsing the news on her phone.

In the adjacent area, after completing a set of photos, Liu Ying came out for a break. Looking up, she saw Shu Wan.

The main reason she held such animosity toward Shu Wan was that Shu Wan was simply too beautiful.

Liu Ying, as a woman who had lingered in the entertainment circle for years, had to admit it was the kind of beauty that was undeniable.

At that moment, she was a bit distant from Shu Wan and couldn’t clearly see Shu Wan’s features, but that otherworldly demeanor was undeniably conspicuous.

That demeanor was something probably no one could resist.

Liu Ying’s eyes narrowed slightly, as if she had thought of something.

She signaled her assistant, "Tell them to pause the shooting, and then you go bring Shu Wan over here."

"Understood."

On the other side, Shu Wan and Wang Tian had originally been ready to leave, but suddenly Liu Ying’s assistant came over, looked Shu Wan up and down, and with a gleam in her eye, said, "Shu Wan, right? Sister Liu wants you to come over."

Not only was the assistant’s tone off-putting, but her gaze was also incredibly offensive.

Shu Wan frowned slightly, "Who is Sister Liu?"

"You don’t know Sister Liu?" Liu Ying’s assistant looked incredulously at Shu Wan, "She is the cover feature sharing the spot with you this time. Come on, follow me."

Shu Wan also wanted to see what Liu Ying was up to, so she stood up and followed Liu Ying’s assistant toward the resting room.

As they walked, Liu Ying’s assistant constantly glanced back at Shu Wan, barely concealing her intense scrutiny.

Finally, just short of their destination, the assistant couldn’t help but take out her phone, "Shu Wan, we’ll be seeing each other quite often in the entertainment circle. Let’s add each other on WeChat."

Being Liu Ying’s assistant was quite well-known in the industry; even minor resources she could share would make life much smoother for a small-time artist.

So, the assistant never anticipated Shu Wan would refuse.

But to her surprise, Shu Wan just continued walking forward without looking sideways, completely ignoring the assistant.

"Hey, didn’t you hear me talking?" The assistant was a bit angry, "Do you know how many people beg me to add them on WeChat?"

"Hey, hey, hey." At this point, Wang Tian came over, wedging himself between the two, and looked displeasure at Liu Ying’s assistant, "Didn’t you hear our beauty say she’s not adding you on WeChat? There are so many others begging you—go add them."

Shu Wan ignored their argument and went straight into the resting room.

Inside, Liu Ying was reading a book. Hearing the door open, she looked up and gave Shu Wan a smile, "Hello, Lady Shu."

Shu Wan got to the point, "What do you want?"

Liu Ying’s smile remained, "Kids are always so impatient. After all, I should be considered your senior. The first time I saw you, I thought, ’Wow, the waves in the entertainment circle keep on surging with more and more outstanding newcomers.’"

"Indeed," Shu Wan replied bluntly, taking Liu Ying’s words as they were.

Liu Ying had only meant to be polite and was caught off guard by Shu Wan’s directness, leaving her at a loss for words for a moment.

Liu Ying’s expression stiffened slightly, a shadow crossing her eyes, "Lady Shu is really straightforward. In that case, I’ll get to the point."

"Lady Shu is so beautiful, yet she can only shoot for a small supplement; even an outsider like me feels that it’s truly a waste."

"What good advice do you have, then?"

"I do have one." Liu Ying said with a smile as she looked at Shu Wan. "Lady Shu knows that in the entertainment circle, having a senior guide you can save you from taking many detours."

Shu Wan now understood Liu Ying’s meaning: this was a carrot-and-stick approach.

If she didn’t accept Liu Ying’s offer today, Wang Yu probably would never take photos of her again.

"Alright."

To Liu Ying’s surprise, Shu Wan agreed very decisively.

"It seems you’re much more aware of the situation than I thought."

"Why wouldn’t I take a shortcut if I can?"

"Good." Liu Ying put down the book in her hand. "Then, to welcome you, my dear little sister, I’ll treat you to dinner tonight at Zhongxuan Building—you must come."

"No problem." Shu Wan nodded.

Shu Wan’s submissive behavior made Liu Ying feel that she had misjudged her before.

It seemed that no matter how cold someone appeared on the outside, they couldn’t resist the glaring temptation of resources.

"Can I call back Wang Yu this afternoon to continue the shooting?"

"Of course." Liu Ying nodded.

Shu Wan’s appearance was useful to keep around; she was definitely going to give some sweet benefits first.

"Then I’ll head back first."

"Go on, go on." Liu Ying waved her hand. "Remember to be on time tonight."

After leaving the resting room, Wang Tian was still arguing with Liu Ying’s Junior Attendant, or more precisely, it was a one-sided tirade from Wang Tian.

After all, Wang Tian was the kind of person who talked a lot, possessing a natural advantage in arguments.

"Alright, stop arguing." Shu Wan walked over to Wang Tian. "Go call Wang Yu and get ready to continue shooting."

"Really?" Wang Tian immediately stopped his rage, surprised at Shu Wan. "They’re allowing Wang Yu to continue shooting?"

"Mhm." Shu Wan nodded.

"Alright then." Wang Tian cheerfully went off to find Wang Yu.

For some reason, Shu Wan’s shooting state that day gave Wang Tian the feeling that she wanted to finish all the shooting schedule in one day.

When the morning shoot ended, Shu Wan even suggested that the staff shouldn’t rest at noon and push forward at full capacity.

Initially, everyone was disinclined towards such extra overtime work.

But to everyone’s surprise, at some point, Shu Wan had ordered custom lunches from Lanting for everyone, along with a three-hundred yuan overtime bonus for each person.

The noon break was only one and a half hours, but now, with Lanting’s custom lunch and an extra bonus, everyone was immediately motivated.

This high enthusiasm even continued throughout the entire afternoon.

By six o’clock in the evening, all the shooting was completed.

At that time, Liu Ying’s Junior Attendant came to pick up Shu Wan, looking down on her with disdain. "Sister Liu sent me to pick you up, let’s go."

He had thought Shu Wan was some kind of morally upright lady, but in the end, she still sold out for resources.

It turned out that it wasn’t an unwillingness to add WeChat contacts, but rather a disdain for the resources he had.

At this moment, the Junior Attendant felt a distinct hostility towards Shu Wan because he thought she looked down on him.

"Where to?" Shu Wan asked in return.

"Zhongxuan Building." The Junior Attendant rolled his eyes. "Did you forget the promise you made to Sister Liu?"

"Oh." Shu Wan nodded. "I remember, but—you tell her I’m not going."

"What?" The Junior Attendant looked at Shu Wan incredulously. "You’re saying you’re not going?"

"Yeah." Shu Wan added with a bit of malice. "I have pretty low standards, I don’t keep my word."

"....."
