I started as a spirited young man, and the system made me a male god.

Chen Fei then remembered that he had made up a girlfriend on the spot to avoid making Li Hengkang hostile towards him.

At the time, I just thought it was a harmless and convenient excuse, and I never thought that I would bring two girls here.

If Li Hengkang and Shen Shaoting confront each other on the spot during filming, wouldn't that be a disaster?

No, absolutely not!

In a flash, Chen Fei forced a smile and touched his nose: "Brother Li, to be honest, I don't actually have a girlfriend."

He glanced quickly at Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi, his tone becoming somewhat ambiguous, "Still in the effort stage...you know, I haven't won them over yet."

Li Hengkang was taken aback at first, then a knowing smile appeared on his face.

He patted Chen Fei on the shoulder encouragingly, "Hey bro, I get you. Which of these two girls do you want to pursue? I'll put in a good word for you during filming!"

Chen Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "No need, no need, just let it happen naturally."

"You don't mean you want to pursue both of them, do you?" Li Hengkang seemed to have thought of something, and his gaze towards Chen Fei became strange.

These words left Chen Fei speechless. If he said no, he would have to specify who he was pursuing to prove it; if he said yes, he would seem like a pervert.

Seeing Chen Fei's conflicted expression, Li Hengkang gave him a knowing look, then put on a friendly smile and walked towards Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi, who were standing in front of the backdrop:

"Hello, ladies. I'm Li Hengkang, the photographer here. I just watched you two, and you have a great sense of the camera and a lot of potential. I'll take your picture now."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi's worries vanished, replaced by joyful smiles as if they had just gotten a perfect score on an exam.

This is the first time they have received recognition from professionals other than Chen Fei.

Shen Shaoting, being outgoing, immediately pressed her advantage, asking, "Photographer Li, does this mean we've passed the interview? Can I work here as a part-time model?"

She knew in her heart that although Chen Fei had brought them here, whether it would ultimately work out depended on Jiang Che and the photographer.

Li Hengkang smiled and nodded confidently, "I'm completely fine on my end. What do you think, Jiang Che?"

He turned his gaze to Jiang Che, who had been standing to the side the whole time.

Jiang Che walked forward gracefully, took out her phone from her handbag, and smiled warmly and confidently: "Li Hengkang said it's good, so there's definitely no problem. We'll leave our winter product shoot to you."

There are twelve sets in total today. Since Chen Fei and I will be working together on this later, I'll just transfer the money to you directly. We can finalize the contract later.

As she spoke, she deftly brought up the QR code payment interface, her tone as relaxed as if she were deciding what takeout to order.

Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi were both stunned, somewhat unable to believe that things had gone so smoothly, and that the two of them had given them 1200 yuan together!

They instinctively looked at Chen Fei, their eyes filled with questions and helplessness.

Chen Fei nodded reassuringly to them, "Take it, you deserve it. The filming later will be physically demanding, and this motivation will help you perform even better."

He knew what the money meant to them, and he trusted Jiang Che's character and believed he would not do anything to harm others.

The two girls then took out their phones with trembling hands and carefully opened the payment code.

When they heard the "beep" indicating successful payment and saw the "600 yuan" notification pop up on the screen, the two grabbed each other's arms almost simultaneously, their cheeks flushed with excitement.

Six hundred yuan! For them, this was an enormous sum of money!

Not only does it earn more than live streaming or beating up old men, but all you have to do is wear clothes and take photos!

Most importantly, they really liked the atmosphere here. There was no backstabbing or scheming among the older colleagues, and no older colleagues who bullied newcomers. Instead, they had superiors who were like friends.

Looking at their happy expressions, Li Hengkang suddenly felt that their duo seemed to be a cut above Jiang Che in terms of fashion modeling.

Thinking about this, his desire to "create an artistic feel in commercial photos" grew stronger and stronger.

He leaned closer to Chen Fei and said in a voice only the two of them could hear:

"Are your two friends capable of handling hardship? I want to speed up the filming pace. If they're usually... well, not willing to work hard, I can guide them slowly, since they're the girls you want to pursue."

Chen Fei felt a warmth in his heart, and felt even more that Li Hengkang was indeed a trustworthy person. He pursued extreme efficiency at work, yet he was still considerate of his friends.

Of course, he knew the answer to this question very well.

Chen Fei turned to Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi, who were still not fully recovered from their excitement, and asked directly, "Shaoting, Jingyi, Brother Li just asked me if you can endure hardship. If you can, he'll speed up the filming."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shaoting immediately straightened her back and eagerly replied, "600 yuan a day, any hardship is worth it! Photographer Li, just give the order! Do it as quickly as possible! We guarantee to cooperate!"

The thought of the huge sum of money that had just arrived filled her with energy.

Lin Jingyi nodded vigorously, her eyes resolute: "Yes! Don't worry! We're not afraid of being tired! This is the best part-time job we've ever had, and we get to wear nice clothes. We'll definitely cherish this opportunity and won't complain about being tired!"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Li Hengkang's eyes, and he gave them a thumbs up: "Not bad! It's good to have this kind of spirit! Then I won't hold back later and will go all out. Don't let me make you cry, okay?"

He paused, nudged Chen Fei with his elbow, and whispered, "So, which one is it? Let me know so I can give it special 'care'."

Chen Fei was a little embarrassed by the question, so he could only give a vague answer: "Well... cough cough, Brother Li, I'll tell you when I have time."

At this moment, Jiang Che arranged for his assistant to come and help change his clothes and tidy up the props, and then walked over to Chen Fei's side:

"Chen Fei, why don't we let them take pictures first? There are men's clothing stores in the park. Didn't you want me to help you put together an outfit? I can do it for you now, without having to wait until we go to Hangzhou."

Just as Chen Fei was trying to escape Li Hengkang's gossipy questioning, Jiang Che's suggestion came at the perfect time.

He nodded immediately and instructed Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi, "Then you two listen to Photographer Li. Jiang Che and I are going to take care of some other things."

He looked at the two girls' excited expressions and smiled encouragingly, "I look forward to your performance."

"Don't worry, Fei-ge!" the two girls said in unison, full of enthusiasm.

Chen Fei then turned around and walked out side by side with Jiang Che.

With a faint smile on his lips, Jiang Che walked out of the photo studio and, mimicking Chen Fei's earlier manner, softly said, "I'm also looking forward to seeing how you look in the clothes I put together."
