One Useless Rebirth

Chapter 40: Candid Photos (2)

That damned confined training!

He grinded his teeth angrily.

An hour later, Jia Zhang called back, but it was the old gentleman that spoke.

“He Bai?”

He Bai was shocked by this old voice, hustling to reply, “Yes, it is. Greetings, sir.”

“Well.” The old voice was smooth and indifferent without any emotions, “I heard that you are Qiuhe’s junior schoolmate? Which major are you in? How is your academic performance? And who is your photography teacher?”

His questions were a little bit strange.

“Yes, Mr. Di is my senior. I major in journalism. As for my grades...I’ve never failed. And my photography teacher is Mr. Xu Yinrong.” He answered as brief as possible as he couldn’t figure out the elder man’s mind.

The old gentleman responded emotionlessly, and asked after a pause, “When did you resign from Saint Elephant?”

He Bai told him the date and hold his breath unconsciously.

“I see.” The old gentleman said and paused. It seemed that he turned around and said something to the person next to him, then replied: “The birthday party will start at 8 pm tomorrow. The guests will begin arriving around 6. The birthday photos will be played in loop on the screen at 7. So, if you have confidence to give me a new set before 7 pm tomorrow, the job is yours.”

Then he hung up. An address was sent to He Bai a minute later.

He Bai gazed at the address dully for 2 minutes and suddenly jumped from the chair as if his butt had been stuck by a needle. He hurriedly turned on the laptop and searched this address. It was a vacation resort on the outskirts, which featured an ecological garden. He Bai had an idea and packed up his things, taixing to Yika.

“You want to borrow elf series to take photos?” Lin Xia frowned slightly. She never thought that He Bai should have made such an unusual request.

He Bai understood the meaning of her eyes, and realized that he was too impulsive. So, he scratched his face and explained, “It’s just that an idea flashed in my mind. Elf series is not featured, so it is not selected as the promotional photos...Sorry, I am too silly.”

He just thought that it was a win-win method. On the one hand, the elf series could be promoted, and Mr. He’s photos could also be polished. However, in face of Lin Xia, He Ba realized that it was a stupid idea.

The promotion of each brand had its own decided plan. Such an abrupt request was indeed unprofessional.

“Sorry.” He Bai apologized sincerely.

Looking at his poor and self-blaming look, Lin Xia was less unpleasant about his request. Instead, her heart was softened and felt a little bit amusing. She comforted He Bai with a mild voice: “You are still young. It’s normal for you to come up with some unusual ideas, which can give you more inspiration. That’s good, tell me why you want to use elf series.”

Her better attitudes made He Bai feel more foolish. He lowered his head and told her all.

“Wait, who would wear the elf series?” Lin Xia interrupted him when she heard a name.

He Bai stopped the topic and answered: “The granddaughter of Mr. Jia Sheng, Miss Jia Beilei.”

Lin Xia got excite. “Jia Sheng? The famous director that won numerous international awards?”

He Bai was scared by her shining eyes and stepped back unconsciously. He nodded, “Yes, I had intended to borrow elf series for her granddaughter’s birthday photos...”

“How many people will see them?” Lin Xia went straight to the point and became serious.

Seeing she getting urgent and interested, He Bai felt the possibility and explained more specifically, “This is the 18th birthday party for Miss Jia Beilei, so it will be quite grand. All the people who have cooperated with Mr. Jia may attend. These photos will be played in loop on the party, which means all of the guests can see them.”

All the people who have cooperated wit Mr. Jia could see them...which meant, half of the people in the biz would see these photos, see our elf series! And they would definitely post some photos on Wei Bo, including the photos of girl of the day...

Indeed, this was a brilliant promoting chance! Besides, it could serve as a stepping stone for our princess series and little mermaid series! “Let’s do it!” Lin Xia banged the table excitedly and picked up the phone on the table, “I am asking the apparel department to bring you the elf series. By the way, bring the team that produced previous promotional photos. These are the birthday photos of Mr. Jia’s granddaughter, make sure you nail it! Show him your best!” He Bai was baffled and then ecstatic. He didn’t expect that she could have given the permission so quickly, what a windfall!

Therefore, when Jia Beilei and his father welcomed the legendary Photographer Mr. He, they saw a whole professional team. Jia Zhang was shocked by this grand team, but then satisfied with it. As a father, it was pleasant and proud to see they attached so much importance to her daughter’s birthday photos.

“So, I can count on you about my daughter’s birthday photos.” He held He Bai’s hand with a bright smile, more and more satisfied with this young man. After the handshake and greeting, He Bai turned to Lin Xia and introduced the team, “Mr. Jia, this is the manager of Yika Apparel Company and its brand Little Mermaid, Miss. Lin, Lin Xia. She is my boss now. Knowing that I am going to take birthday photos for Miss. Jia Beilei, she gave me the whole team. If it were not her support, I would not have dared to take the task alone.”

This was a huge boost for Lin Xia and Yika, which satisfied Lin Xia. Hence, in turn she also praised He Bai’s excellent skills and his “brave request to take photos for Miss Jia Beilei with unreleased clothes” during the greeting.

Hearing their words, Jia Zhang could understand why she bring the whole team with her, but he didn’t care about it. He knew Yika, whose brands were pretty good. Since He Bai had been quite serious and motivated to his daughter’s birthday photos, it was not a problem to use several clothes of his company.

“I want to extend my gratitude to Mr. He and Miss. Lin, thank you very much.” He said impressively. The he waved to a smiling young lady behind him, “Beilei, come to greet manager Lin and others.”

He Beilei came over with a smile. She first greeted with Lin Xia politely and then looked that He Bai with a brighter smile, calling sweetly: “Brother He!”

All of them fell into silence. Jia Zhang coughed awkwardly and pulled his daughter back, explaining: “She was quite out-going, especially to handsome young man. No offence.”

This was the simplest interpretation for face-judgers, Lin Xia grumbled in her mind.

It was a mysterious feeling for He Bai to be called brother suddenly. But he only replied vaguely, fearing that Jia Zhang might be unhappy about it. He told Jia Zhang just called him Xiao He.

Jia Zhang accepted his advice and welcomed them into the resort.

Along the way there were balloons and colored ribbons, but without any other guests. It was obvious that they had made the block booking.

“Book a whole holiday resort to treat guest? It was really a grand birthday party. You won a huge business for our company. You will get your bonus.”
