My domestic idol

Chapter 3 The Best Candidate

Early the next morning, Cen Ruo really met Ji Qiang in the office.

Ji Qiang waved her arms and said energetically, "Good morning Cen Ruo! We meet again!"

Cen Ruo's expression froze for a moment, and then he quickly realized that it must be Xu Ansheng's fault.She didn't respond to Ji Qiang, and walked into Xu Ansheng's office expressionlessly.

Behind her, countless pairs of ears were pricked up.Selena poured Ji Qiang a cup of coffee and said, "Xiao Ji, did you know the editor-in-chief before?"

Ji Qiang blinked blankly, looking in a daze.She said: "Yeah! I joined the company because of her!"

In the office, Xu Ansheng was reading the newspaper, and Cen Ruo said, "I didn't see it, you're a bit of a gossip."

"It's rare for you to show that unspeakable expression, so I'm naturally curious. Ji Qiang has a lively personality, and it might be wonderful to stay by my side." Xu Ansheng said with a smile: "Of course, if you really don't like it, you can change it."

Cen Ruo thought for a while and said, "Forget it, that's all."

Although Xu Ansheng was doing it to play a prank, in the eyes of others, Ji Qiang was always arranged by Xu Ansheng himself.As Xu Ansheng's "confidant who has just been promoted", I can't save her face.

Since he is an assistant, he can naturally choose to tune/teach or arrange.

Given how busy the editor-in-chief is, as long as Cen Ruo doesn't take the initiative to bring Ji Qiang along, the assistant has almost no chance to meet the boss.Therefore, even if Cen Ruo didn't deliberately avoid Ji Qiang, the two of them had no chance to meet each other.

Until Thursday came, according to the work arrangement, Cen Ruo should shoot the cover for Xue Jiani.

Before leaving, Cen Ruo ordered Selena to go with him.Selena is a smart person, she turned her eyes and called Ji Qiang.

Ji Qiang's eyes were shining, full of a strange and contagious enthusiasm.Ji Qiang looked at Cen Ruo and said, "Are we going on location?"

Cen Ruogao didn't answer coldly, Selena explained: "It's going to the company's studio, strictly speaking, it's not an exterior scene."

Ji Qiang nodded vigorously, and said briefly and firmly: "Okay!"

Reminiscent of Ji Qiang waving goodbye, Cen Ruo thought: Is she always working so hard in her life?

Selena drove, and Cen Ruo sat in the back seat to catch up on sleep.Seemingly aware of her fatigue, Ji Qiang just sat quietly beside her, without saying a word, even making slight movements.

When they arrived at the studio, Cen Ruo's face collapsed.

The time agreed with Xue Jiani's team had arrived, but Xue Jiani was nowhere to be seen.Selena called Xue Jiani's agent, and the other party said that there was a traffic jam, so please wait for the cameraman.

Cen Ruo suppressed his temper and waited for an hour, but no one came.Selena called again to urge her, but this time the manager's tone changed.

"Jiani still has some things to deal with here, we will be there in an hour."

Selena glanced at Cen Ruo carefully, and Cen Ruo said calmly, "Tell him, half an hour, I will only wait for half an hour. If Miss Xue is still in 'traffic jam' after half an hour, then the cover of October will be changed immediately." people."

After hearing this, Xue Jiani's manager smiled disdainfully, and said, "There are only a few famous supermodels in China. If Jiani is replaced, who will take over? Except for those few supermodels, who can afford the 'Silver Ten'?" '? The cover of September was not given to Jiani, this matter has not been settled yet, but your editor-in-chief personally promised me at that time..."

The other party seemed quite confident, and spoke like a villain gaining power.Is it because of clinging to Zhang Siming?

Selena quickly interrupted the other party, saying: "D-line chief editor has changed, don't you know?" Then hung up the phone.

Selena looked at Cen Ruo and asked, "Editor-in-Chief, what should we do now?"

Cen Ruo looked at Selena with satisfaction. Selena's brains turned quickly and her team was firm.The covers of fashion magazines have always had the saying of "Golden September and Silver October".Xue Jiani has a good relationship with the former editor-in-chief, and got the promise of the September cover very early, but did not make any written promise.The core of the workplace war between Cen Ruo and the former editor-in-chief is the affiliation of the characters on the cover of the September issue.Cen Ruo won, so the September cover was not given to Xue Jiani as promised, but to another rising female star.

Is Xue Jiani's team deliberately making things difficult?When the other party mentions Jin Jiu's cover at this moment, is he trying to stand up for the former editor-in-chief?

Xue Jiani's emotional intelligence is greater than her professional ability, and she is very successful in the entertainment circle, but her position in the supermodel world is not so solid, far from being as detached as her manager's bluff.If there were to be substitutions, Cen Ruo had a few good candidates in mind.

She stepped back and made a few phone calls.However, things happened suddenly, and the models and celebrities who had a good relationship didn't have time to save the scene.The fashion circle pursues timeliness and trends. Although there are still a few sets of old covers in stock, they are not suitable for the important month of "Silver Ten".

Selina looked at Cen Ruo, wanting to get instructions.

Unexpectedly, Cen Ruo's eyes shifted and landed on Ji Qiang.

Cen Ruo pointed to Ji Qiang and said, "Let her come."

Selena was stunned: "Huh?"

Ji Qiang opened her eyes wide, only the surprise of being suddenly cueed on her face, without joy or fear.If Ji Qiang was compared to an animal, it should be a little rabbit with ears pricked up suddenly, Cen Ruo thought.

"She has a perfect figure, she doesn't show her face, and the silhouette should be good." Cen Ruo looked at Ji Qiang and confirmed, "Since we met last time, you haven't gained weight, have you?"

Cen Ruo glanced at Ji Qiang's waist very covertly, she remembered that Ji Qiang's waist was very thin, soft to the touch, and the lines were smooth and perfect.If Ji Qiang hadn't gained weight, then she would really be suitable to appear on the cover of a fashion magazine.

Ji Qiang said, "No."

"Go to a makeup artist and fix the mole on your back. Your skin tone is fine, so you don't need to apply extra foundation. Let's take a photo of your bare back." After a pause, Cen Ruo remembered to ask Ji Qiang for advice: "Are you okay?"

Ji Qiang replied obediently: "No."

Even though Selena was an excellent assistant, she was dumbfounded at the moment: How does the boss know that Ji Qiang has a perfect figure?She also knew that Ji Qiang had a mole on her back!

Hey, what plot am I missing?

This order was a bit weird, but with Cen Ruo in charge, the staff got busy in an orderly manner.

Ji Qiang is still wearing pants, but the upper body is replaced with a bellyband, this bellyband is not photogenic, the purpose is to eliminate Ji Qiang's sense of shame.When Ji Qiang turned her back to the camera, she could see her smooth and perfect back at a glance.

Cen Ruo nodded in imperceptible satisfaction.

Ji Qiang has the shyness unique to girls on her face, and she looks very vivid.Following Cen Ruo's orders, she posed in various poses.Through the camera, Cen Ruo's eyes are precise and indifferent, without any warmth.

After taking several photos, Ji Qiang turned her head a little embarrassedly, her eyes were watery, and she had a stubborn style of support.Ji Qiang asked her: "Cen Ruo, are you alright?"

Cen Ruo stood up straight, looked at Ji Qiang with a frown, and said, "No."

Ji Qiang was taken aback, and was about to say something when Cen Ruo said, "After fixing the lighting equipment, everyone goes out, leaving only Ji Qiang."

The staff acted according to the word, without saying a word, like a group of robots.In Nuo Da's room, only Cen Ruo and Ji Qiang were left.The blower was blowing loudly, and the subtle noise made the atmosphere less awkward.

Cen Ruo said: "Didn't you shoot the cover of a magazine before? Why are you still so coy? The scale is too big?"

Ji Qiang was a little embarrassed, she bit her lip and looked at Cen Ruo.She asked, "Do you have to shoot the cover today?"

Cen Ruo pursed her lips and said, "You are the most suitable."

Xue Jiani wanted to give Cen Ruo a blow, but Cen Ruo chose to fight back.Ji Qiang has a good figure, but her status and popularity are almost nonexistent. Compared with other models or celebrities, the humiliation is more serious-you think you are important, but in the end, any nobody can replace you.

It is indeed the best candidate.

What's more...Ji Qiang did what she paid last time, but she hadn't given a comparable return.For Cen Ruo now, the group covers of second-tier magazines are too low, but the October covers of first-tier women's magazines are just right.

Ji Qiang took a deep breath, tried to suppress the shame, and made a small fist to cheer herself up: "I understand, I will work hard!"

Cen Ruo stood behind the camera and said to Ji Qiang: "There are no outsiders now, and I only have a camera in my hand. You can take off your bellyband, it affects your mentality and makes you not...open enough." Cen Ruo paused for a while , finally found the right words.

Cen Ruo thought that Ji Qiang would be embarrassed, but Ji Qiang just said "Oh" and turned her back to Cen Ruo without reservation and untied her bellyband.The white cloth fell at Ji Qiang's feet, making it look a bit more charming.

Seeing this scene, Cen Ruo had a sudden inspiration, and immediately said: "Just don't move in this posture, and turn your head halfway! Yes, that's it!"

……

Half an hour later, Cen Ruo and Ji Qiang came out of the two-person studio.Ji Qiang had already changed back into her clothes, her cheeks were bright red, but her eyes were excited.She felt very happy to be able to help Cen Ruo.

Cen Ruo was as indifferent and serious as ever, without any clues.

Selena thought for a while, leaned close to Ji Qiang, and asked in a low voice, "What are you doing in there? You came out so soon."

"Soon?" Ji Qiang asked ignorantly, "Maybe Cen Ruo is particularly inspired." Speaking of this, she brushed her hair to her ears, revealing her auburn ears from embarrassment.She fanned herself with the palm of her hand, trying to dissipate the scorching heat from her cheeks.

Cen Ruo was inspired by her, which made her feel embarrassed and happy.

Ji Qiang showed yearning expression, and said: "If you say change, change, Cen Ruo is really handsome! Are all editors so domineering?"

"Among the first-line journals, our editor-in-chief is probably the only one who dares to be so domineering. After all, Mr. Xu is backing us," said Selina and You Rongyan, "Mr. I can live comfortably.”

Ji Qiang looked at Selena and blinked.

……

As soon as he left the studio, Cen Ruo received a call from Xu Ansheng.

Xu Ansheng said: "I heard that you temporarily replaced Xue Jiani? What about the written interview?"

Cen Ruo said: "Reselect the topic and write again. The time is a bit tight, but it is not impossible."

"I also heard that you asked Ji Qiang to save the situation? The relationship between the two of you is indeed extraordinary." Xu Ansheng casually gossiped, then said rather helplessly: "You are too bold."

Cen Ruo deliberately ignored Ji Qiang's topic, and said: "Xue Jiani is not dedicated enough, if I want to play tricks in this kind of place, I can't back down. Besides, you will help me."

Cen Ruo had just been promoted to the editor-in-chief, and a model turned his face off and gave him a slap in the face... It really should be dealt with tougher.Xu Ansheng agreed with Cen Ruo's actions, and the call was not for accountability.

Xu Ansheng smiled and said, "When was it not like this before? I am on your side."

Yes, it was like this every time before...

Cen Ruo was emotionally evoked by this sentence, and the past three years came to mind like a revolving lantern.Xu Ansheng's care, Xu Ansheng's tolerance and support, and even... Xu Ansheng's kiss.

Cen Ruo blurted out: "Is the previous agreement still valid?"

Xu Ansheng was taken aback for a moment, and then understood the agreement Cen Ruo meant: If the two of them have not made up their minds by the time they are 30 years old, then they will work together and be together.

Xu Ansheng said: "There are still five years. Asking this now, isn't it a bit too much? Maybe you will soon meet the person you want to spend your life with."

Cen Ruo said silently in her heart: I have already met.

But she understood Xu Ansheng's polite refusal, so she didn't say anything.That would only add to the embarrassment.

Xu Ansheng said a few words casually, then hung up the phone.The call ended a bit rushed than usual.Cen Ruo knew it was because he had crossed the line.

Xu Ansheng didn't want to settle down yet, she was waiting in vain for another person's response.Xu Ansheng decided to wait until the age of 30.

Cen Ruo has no one in her heart, but she can wait until she is 30.
