Rebirth in 2011: Starting as an Advertising Genius

"Jiang He, my dad called me. What method did you use to sell your goods? Was it that video you filmed last time?"

"Yes, it's that video you filmed. Not only will you make money, you'll become famous too. Then, pursuing the beauties in your badminton club will be a piece of cake!"

"Damn, how did you know it was her?"

-----------

"Chen Jianghe, is that you?"

The temperature was pleasant on an April morning.

The flowers in Shihu Park are in bloom, and a faint fragrance wafts through the air.

Oh.

This fragrance isn't just from flowers, but also from the perfume worn by the instructor in front of me.

"Yeah, counselor, my Taobao shop needs a set of model photos, and I was thinking of asking you to do a photoshoot since you're so pretty!"

"You also have a Taobao store?"

"Oh dear, no, no, I mean, why did you add me on QQ with a strange account to arrange a photoshoot? Were you doing it on purpose?"

Huang Xiaoqian became angrier the more she thought about it.

It feels like you've fallen in love with someone online, only to find out that your online partner is actually your student.

That's... a little too embarrassing!

"Guo'er, if I don't add you using a secondary account, you'll definitely reject me!"

Chen Jianghe resorted to shameless tactics.

Since we're already here, things will be easier from here on out!

"Oh dear, I'm not taking any more pictures. If I'd known it was you, I wouldn't have come!"

Huang Xiaoqian, who had been so serious as a counselor, was now all shy and embarrassed, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction towards Chen Jianghe.

"Please, Director! This Taobao store can help a family avoid bankruptcy. Without your beauty, sales definitely wouldn't be good. With your beauty, sales will skyrocket!"

Chen Jianghe fully demonstrated his shamelessness.

If you didn't know that one of them was a counselor and the other was a student, many people would probably think they were a couple.

The April wind blew from Shihu Lake, carrying moisture and the fragrance of flowers, lifting a few strands of Huang Xiaoqian's long, loose hair and gently brushing against Chen Jianghe's arm.

itch.

Not just in the arms, but also in the heart.

"Weren't you supposed to be filming a video yesterday? How come you have a Taobao store today? And what's this about the bankruptcy you mentioned?"

Huang Xiaoqian took a step back, creating some distance, and unconsciously put her hands behind her back, her fingers intertwined.

Chen Jianghe did not answer directly, but instead took out a piece of clothing from his backpack, a light green, forest-style long dress.

"Guo'er, take a look at this dress first. Do you like it?"

Huang Xiaoqian glanced down, her eyes brightening slightly, but she quickly looked away again: "Don't change the subject."

"I'm not changing the subject." Chen Jianghe stood up, unfolded his clothes, and held them up to her chest.

"There's a guy named Tian Ke in our school's Environmental Art Department. He's my high school classmate. His family runs a clothing business, and they have almost a million yuan worth of unsold inventory. They're going to go bankrupt if they can't sell it. I wanted to help him clear out his inventory, so I opened a Taobao store."

He spoke calmly, as if he were talking about something very ordinary.

But Huang Xiaoqian felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this.

One million?

For an ordinary person, this is an astronomical figure.

"So you asked me to take photos so that... you could help them sell their products?"

"That's right." Chen Jianghe nodded matter-of-factly. "Director, you're so beautiful and have such a great presence. If you wore this dress for a photoshoot, you'd definitely outshine all those models on Taobao."

"You...you shouldn't keep saying I'm pretty!"

Huang Xiaoqian blushed again, and her voice softened, "I'm your teacher..."

"Can't teachers be good-looking?" Chen Jianghe tilted his head, a smile playing on his lips. "The school doesn't have a rule against teachers being models, does it?"

Huang Xiaoqian felt uncomfortable under his gaze and reached for the dress in his hand: "Let me see it."

When her fingertips touched the back of Chen Jianghe's hand, she felt as if she had been burned and quickly withdrew her hand.

Why didn't he dodge?

Chen Jianghe didn't dodge; instead, he handed her the dress and said, "There's a restroom over there. Go change. I'll wait for you here."

Huang Xiaoqian hesitated for a moment, then glared at him fiercely, grabbed her skirt, and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, he stopped, turned back, and asked, "Is your classmate... really going to go bankrupt?"

"Yes." Chen Jianghe's smile faded, and he nodded seriously. "So, Director, you're not just helping me today, you're also helping a family."

Huang Xiaoqian walked to the bathroom, clutching her skirt, her heart pounding like a drum.

Why did I agree to that?

I'm a teacher, how can I be a model for my students?

But... that classmate he was talking about is so pitiful...

She bit her lip and began to unbutton her shirt.

When Chen Jianghe saw Huang Xiaoqian coming out of the restroom, his eyes lit up slightly.

A light green long dress with a fitted waist, the hem of which just reaches the ankles.

I never knew our counselor looked so good in this style of clothing.

Huang Xiaoqian felt uncomfortable under his gaze, and lowered her head to tug at her skirt: "Doesn't it look good? I told you it doesn't suit me..."

"You look beautiful." Chen Jianghe interrupted her, his voice lower than usual, "Director, you really look beautiful."

Huang Xiaoqian looked up and met his eyes.

There was no teasing or mockery in those eyes, only genuine admiration.

"Stop looking..."

She lowered her head again, her ears turning bright red.

This sense of immorality is too overwhelming!

Chen Jianghe looked away and took out his camera from his bag.

"Director, stand on that rock by the lake, I'll take some pictures for you."

"A rock?" Huang Xiaoqian looked towards the lakeside, where a large, flat rock stretched out into the water. "Won't it be slippery?"

"I'll help you up."

Chen Jianghe naturally extended his hand.

Huang Xiaoqian looked at the hand, hesitated for two seconds, and then gently placed it on the hand.

His palms were warm, larger than she had imagined, and his fingers were long and strong.

No, no, I can't let my mind wander.

She steadied herself on the stones, and Chen Jianghe released her grip, took a few steps back, and raised his camera.

"Guo'er, look at the lake, don't look at me."

Huang Xiaoqian did as instructed.

The wind blew her long hair and skirt, and the sunlight shone on the lake like scattered gold.

"Great, one more. Turn to the side and look back at me."

Huang Xiaoqian turned to the side, slightly turning her head, her eyes filled with a hint of panic and shyness.

"Director, smile, don't be so nervous."

"I'm not nervous..." she forced a smile, though it was a little stiff.

Chen Jianghe put down his camera, walked over, and stood in front of her.

"Like this, I'll teach you." He reached out and gently lifted her chin, adjusting the angle. "Lower your head a little, look up, yes, like this."

His fingers were warm, and the touch was so clear it felt like a brand.

Huang Xiaoqian froze.

What is he doing?

He...he's touching my face?

"Okay, keep it up."

Chen Jianghe stepped back and raised his camera.

"Perfect."

Huang Xiaoqian finally came to her senses, her face burning hot: "Chen Jianghe! You...you just now..."

"I'll teach you how to pose," Chen Jianghe said matter-of-factly. "Director, you're not a professional, so I have to teach you, right?"

"Then you can't...you can't..."

"Can't what?" he asked, smiling at her.

Huang Xiaoqian couldn't continue speaking, and angrily turned to leave, but then she slipped—

"Be careful!"
