I've been reborn, but you still think I'm a PUA?

The agreed time is nine o'clock.

In order to leave a good impression on the brand, Xu Yang arrived an hour early.

Coincidentally, Huo Mingkai also arrived early!

Several people had breakfast downstairs at the agreed place.

"Great job, Xu Yang. You've found a perfect person. As long as there aren't any major issues this time, the endorsement will definitely be easy to get!"

Huo Mingkai looked at Ah Hua with admiration, and he was already imagining in his mind how many people would stop and watch when this face appeared on the electronic screen outside a large shopping mall.

Ah Hua knew that he was praising her and smiled shyly.

Little did people know that her smile made her delicate face even more lively, like an elf in a fairy tale world.

After meeting Ah Hua, the brand nodded repeatedly with great satisfaction, waved their hands, and started the audition directly.

Seeing this, Xu Yang and Huo Mingkai exchanged glances, both thinking that this matter was a sure thing.

But I never expected that this was just the beginning of the problems...

"No, what's wrong with you? You can't even look at the camera?"

"Come on, come on, put the reflector in place!"

"Hey, weren't you fine just now? Why did you blink? Seriously, I can't find a single photo of you with your eyes open."

"Can you be more professional? You're wasting my time!"

Huo Mingkai looked at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang hurriedly explained: "Ahua is a novice and has never been exposed to this before, so it's inevitable that she won't get used to it. How about we try it again?"

After hearing his words, the brand owner's impatience subsided a little, and he told the photographer, "Alright, let the model rest for a while, and we'll start again in half an hour!"

"Alright!"

The photographer dropped his camera and walked away.

Ah Hua came out of the studio and said in a weak voice: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, I messed up..."

Xu Yang took her to the lounge: "It's okay. I was a little anxious about this audition. Even I wasn't mentally prepared, let alone you, an amateur. Let's take a good rest first and try again."

With his comfort, Ah Hua regained some confidence.

Half an hour passed in a flash, and she stood in the studio again, her posture relaxed and natural. The cameraman took a look at her and his unpleasant expression relaxed.

"Very good, very good, pick up the flowers you prepared, yes, look at the camera——"

Ah Hua followed the instructions and picked up the bouquet, then looked up at the camera. The dark, cold-glowing lens looked like an eye. The shutter clicked, and a dazzling light suddenly lit up, reminding Ah Hua of that night when Red Hair took out a knife that shone with a cold light!

These days, she has been having nightmares, dreaming of a white blade piercing her body and injuring Xu Yang...

She could no longer control herself and instinctively blinked, and the image of her closed eyes remained on the camera again.

"Tsk!"

The cameraman put down the camera in frustration and shouted, "Look at the camera! How many times have I told you? Can you shoot or not? Stop wasting time!"

"Even international supermodels aren't as hard to please as you. I'm not filming anymore!"

The cameraman kicked the reflector on the ground and glared at Xu Yang.

The rest of the camera crew also shook their heads and walked away disappointed.

Huo Mingkai hurriedly chased after him: "Sorry, sorry, it was just a small mistake, let's talk about it..."

The brand owner pushed away Huo Mingkai's outstretched hand, looked at Ah Hua coldly, and said in English, "Mr. Huo, the person you found is not qualified to be our spokesperson. We will find someone else, and the cooperation ends here."

Xu Yang frowned, realizing that the situation was serious, and said to Ah Hua, "Wait here first, I'll be back soon."

He followed Huo Mingkai's footsteps and went to negotiate with the brand.

But the people from the brand were firm in their attitude, believing that Ahua was completely unable to cooperate and that they had to find someone else to cooperate with.

Huo Mingkai pressed his temples with a headache and said to Xu Yang, "There's nothing we can do. How about we change people?"

Xu Yang felt a sense of loss in his heart: "But it's so hard to find someone who meets the requirements."

"Xu Yang, you know how big a brand Xiangdaier is. Even international supermodels have to praise their photographer. If Ah Hua can't cooperate, I'm afraid this endorsement will really be a failure."

All photographers are proud, let alone a professional photographer like Xiangdaier?

Xu Yang was silent. He found it hard to accept the thought of missing out on this endorsement.

The brand was discussing personnel changes in the distance. Huo Mingkai sighed and sat aside alone.

Xu Yang held the phone and for some unknown reason opened the photos of Ahua that Qiangzi had secretly taken.

In the photo, the smoke from the food stalls blurred the background, and only Ah Hua's face was in focus. Her eyes were so bright, and her hair, wet with sweat, stuck to her side face. Her body, which had been working hard for many years, was as frail as weeds trembling in the wind. It was so small that it could be burned to death by a fire, and yet so vast that it would cover the mountains and plains when the spring breeze blew.

Just like the theme of this endorsement, “Life”!

Xu Yang took a deep breath, walked forward with the photo, and said to the brand representative, "Sir, I'd like to ask you to look at a photo. Perhaps you've seen it before, because this photo is the reason why you chose Ah Hua. I hope to have another chance, this time not for Ah Hua, but for the theme of this trip, life!"

What Xu Yang said was absolutely correct.

When the brand saw the photo, they only thought about how stunning this face would be when it appeared on the big screen. The stunning feeling in their minds made them ignore all the problems that might be encountered during the shooting process.

"it is good."

The brand pursed their lips, but finally said in relief: "We are too demanding of an amateur. We can give you another chance, but this is your last chance. Do you understand me?"

Xu Yang's heart trembled, and a smile appeared on his lips: "I understand, thank you so much!"

So, the camera crew returned to the studio in a mighty procession, ready to do it again.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the female assistant came running over: "Oh no, Ah Hua is missing!"

"what?"

Xu Yang almost couldn't believe his ears: "Ahua is missing, what happened?"

The assistant's voice trembled: "Ah Hua wanted to go to the restroom, so I took her there. I received a phone call halfway through, and she disappeared. I searched all the stalls in the women's restroom, but couldn't find her!"

"Don't be anxious!" Xu Yang's heart ached.

It is impossible for a living person to disappear out of thin air. Ah Hua must still be in the photography building. She is either lost or has found a place to hide by herself!

He asked Huo Mingkai to stabilize the brand's people first, and he and his assistant went out to look for people.

"Take a few people over there, I'll go to the toilet!"

"it is good!"

The two of them acted separately, and Xu Yang came to the toilet where Ah Hua disappeared. This area was the end of the floor, with utility rooms and stairs used as fire escapes.

Xu Yang opened the doors of the utility rooms one by one, but there was no trace of Ah Hua.

He turned and left, and was about to look in another direction when he heard a faint sob.
