On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

The whisper time was over and Chi Mu returned to Chen Qian.

Chen Qian looked at him and the little Chi Yubai with a knowing smile on their faces. He was very curious, but did not ask directly.

The two got into the car accompanied by Chi Yuxing and Chi Yubai. Chen Qian leaned out of the car window and said to Chi Yubai that they would see each other next time.

The car started and slowly drove away from the community.

After a short break, it was Monday.

The night before, Chen Qian, Yu Wangxi and Zhong Yi spent a very fulfilling evening together, watching movies, playing games and board games. The three of them stayed at home and did almost everything they could.

They stayed up very late. Except for Zhong Yi who was still thinking about moving to the new house the next afternoon, so he called it a day and went back to his room to sleep at around three in the morning, the other two stayed up until dawn and fell asleep in Chen Qian's room, shoulders leaning against each other.

So the next day, without exception, they all slept soundly until after lunch time.

By the time Chen Qian and Yu Wangxi were forcibly awakened by a series of noisy phone rings in the afternoon, Zhong Yi had already left for some time.

Yu Wangxi is a bit grumpy when he wakes up, and he will be particularly irritable if he is woken up without getting enough sleep.

He dug out the unknown cell phone that he had never used and kept singing to from under his pillow, and struggled to open his eyelids to take a look.

The phone is in a case, but he is not used to using such cases.

After realizing that the owner was not him, Yu Wangxi threw the phone to the other end of the bed and turned around to bury himself deeper in the quilt.

Chen Qian touched the discarded phone, answered the call with his eyes closed, and put it to his ear.

"Brother Xiao Qian, where are you? Why don't you answer the phone?"

The anxious voice was very familiar. Chen Qian recalled and remembered that it was Lin Xixi.

"Hmm?" He asked vaguely, then replied slowly, "I'm home, what's wrong?"

"Chen Qian!" The anxious female voice instantly turned into Chen Tian's lion roar, scaring away Chen Qian's sleepiness.

Before Chen Qian could react, the other end of the phone started bombarding him with messages like a machine gun.

"On the first day of the shoot, you, a photographer, are you so dare to be late? Are you itching for trouble?"

Huh——Chen Qian was so shocked by Chen Tian’s words that he took a breath and thought to himself, "Oh my god!"

He had so much fun these past two days that he completely forgot about his part-time job for Chen Tian.

As for the start date, let alone the start time.

Chen Qian jumped up from the bed and hurriedly put on clothes. He didn't dare to hesitate any more and apologized to the phone smoothly.

"Brother, I was wrong in this matter. I played small cards with big intentions. Well, I'll be there right away. Please be magnanimous and don't be angry with me."

"Half an hour, don't let so many people wait here for you."

“Hmm—”

Chen Qian hurried all the way, holding his equipment box, and urged the driver to rush to the shooting site as fast as possible.

After getting off the car, he walked quickly into the resort in a state of shock, took out his cell phone and called Lin Xixi, telling her that he had arrived and asked her to come out and pick him up.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Qian glanced at the time. It was 2:50, a few minutes before the half hour Chen Tian had promised.

He couldn't help but feel relieved.

When they arrived at the meeting point, Chen Qian lowered his head and followed Lin Xixi obediently, his eyes secretly scanning the surrounding staff, looking for Chen Tian.

After a long while without any results, he nudged Lin Xixi with his elbow and asked quietly, "Where's my brother?"

Lin Xixi looked around and shook her head. "I don't know. I guess he went somewhere else. Let's say hello to everyone and get started."

After she finished speaking, she clapped her hands, loudly gathered the scattered people together, and then introduced: "This is our photographer this time, Chen Qian."

"Hello, everyone." Chen Qian raised a formal smile and waved to the crowd.

After that, the others also greeted Chen Qian and briefly introduced themselves to him.

Soon, the gathered crowd dispersed again and returned to their posts one by one.

In the past, the degree of freedom in work was very high, so Chen Qian could handle it even if he worked alone. However, since commercial shooting was very different from before, Chen Tian used the salary that was withheld from Chen Qian to hire a photography assistant for him.

The photography assistant was very young, in his early twenties, named Su Wei. It was said that he was a college student from one of Qianxing's clients' family who came here for an internship during the winter break and was studying photography.

Su Wei had strong features, his hair was cut into a neat crew cut, and his ears were adorned with a few sparkling earrings. At first glance, Chen Qian could still distort his casual temperament like Chi Yuxing.

However, there are still essential differences between this little brother and Chi Yuxing. For example, he would respectfully call Chen Qian "Teacher Chen."

Very polite, but politeness happens to be Chi Yuxing's shortcoming.

Before officially starting work, Chen Qian had already browsed the script forwarded by Lin Xixi and had a preliminary idea of ​​the storyboard, so the work content on the first day became relatively simple, which was to shoot a few main scenes.

Chen Qian got down to work quickly and efficiently. He took his younger brother Su Wei with him, carried the equipment, booked a few camera positions, and started working while the light was good.

The sun sets quickly in winter, even in the south.

The first half hour was bright and sunny, but soon a thin layer of sunset glow appeared.

Chen Qian set up a camera and turned on the time-lapse photography mode towards the sky, intending to take a picture of the sunset as material. Then, while waiting, he took Su Wei to organize the equipment.

Su Wei came back from the stairs carrying a tripod. After putting it down, he walked straight up to Chen Qian and called out, "Teacher Chen."

Chen Qian stared at the other person's smiling, childish face, stunned for a second, then realized that he was being called, and replied awkwardly, "What's wrong?"

In fact, he had heard Su Wei calling him "Teacher" and "You" all day long, but the excessive use of these honorifics made Chen Qian feel that he was of a higher generation than him. He was not used to it and felt uncomfortable.

He was thinking about finding a topic to ask Su Wei to change this point.

Su Wei shook his head, paused, and said, "Teacher Chen, you are really very good-looking. Perhaps, have you ever been a model?"

These words made Chen Qian feel embarrassed.

He was overjoyed and smiled shyly, saying, "This is the first time I've heard someone describe me as pretty. But I've never been a model."

"Really? When I was chatting with the sisters from the editing and directing team today, they all guessed that you were a model who switched to photography."

Chen Qian covered his mouth and jokingly said "Ah?", then continued: "Is it because I didn't take the photo well?"

"How is that possible!" Su Wei waved his hands. "What they're saying is that you, Teacher Chen, have more advantages in front of the camera than behind it."

Su Wei's words were so sweet that they touched Chen Qian's heart. Chen Qian was so coaxed by Su Wei that he almost couldn't tell the directions. He even forgot to ask Su Wei to change his address.

He nodded cheerfully, "That's true. Tomorrow I have to go and thank these people for their recognition of me."

When the sun had completely set, Chen Qian had finished shooting the footage. After the equipment was packed up and put into a temporary warehouse, the entire project team began to prepare to leave.
