Translator: Sissy That Walk
Hearing that, Xu Ying felt so touched. The reality was most people would not say things like “you don’t need to tolerate your boss’s bad temper, just quit and find a better job.”
“But there are definitely plenty room to grow, for a famous singer like Jun Chen, I could see why he asks for more from you.” continued Gu Xifeng, he was very strategic on giving suggestions, he praised Jun Chen first to make him feel safe and then he offered his suggestions.
Gu Xifeng zoomed the first photo on the screen and said, “Your speciality is portrait and body art, that is so great, but this one, I lost what you wanna express, it’s too loud! With the background and the props, I don’t know where to look at, you lost me there. And this one, the lighting looks a little bit out of place, trust me, sometimes the natural lighting will surprise you so much, next time try natural lighting… …” Gu Xifeng commented each photo and offered suggestions.
Xu Ying enjoyed the harsh comments gladly.
“I would suggest you ditch the whole thing.” Gu Xifeng took a sip of tea and continued, “Your boss wouldn’t be happy seeing this collection, Jun Chen is a singer with high artistic pursuit, you can always call me to communicate. You can so so much better, I know it, Jun Chen knows it, that’s why he hires you.”
“Thank you a lot.” Xu Ying looked crestfallen, he knew he would receive some harsh comments but he didn’t expect Gu Xifeng would suggest him ditch his collection.
Seeing that, Gu Xifeng poured Xu Ying a cup of tea and patted him on the shoulder as a comfort and then he averted his gaze at He Bai.
That gaze sent chills to He Bai’s spine, he took out his laptop without being asked, and he logged in Weibo. He clicked open the photo album and showed it yo Gu Xifeng, “I’m so sorry, First Senior Fellow Disciple, I didn’t prepare anything, this collection was taken two weeks ago, they are fairly new. Anyway, I will prepare something next time.”
Gu Xifeng was dumbfounded, this was their first official meeting, he didn’t plan to check He Bai’s “homework”, he just wanted to bond with this Photographer He.
According to the little bit he knew, this Junior Fellow Disciple had high self-discipline, “checking homework” was a routine for him and Xu Ying who needed to be supervised from time to time.
But seeing the respectful way He Bai behaved, Gu Xifeng didn’t have the heart to turn him down, so he just smiled and took this “checking homework” as an opportunity to know this new kid more.
This collection was scenery photos, Gu Xifeng clicked one by one, he loved them all.
He had always heard that this junior disciple had been working in fashion and had been working with all the big names, little did he know that He Bai had such a natural flair on scenery shooting, well, not just a flair, he was a very talented photographer on all categories.
He Bai, in the beginning, was sitting on edge waiting for Gu Xifeng’s comments, but Gu Xifeng was busy looking at the photos the whole time and didn’t utter a word.
About an hour later, Gu Xifeng put down the laptop gently like he was holding a treasure.
He Bai who was having tea and desserts with Xu Ying now sat straight and waited for the comments.
Gu Xifeng looked at He Bai with admiration, “Young man, I’m in no position to judge you, especially on scenery shooting, you make a much better scenery photographer than me.”
He Bai scratched his head and showed a shy smile while Xu Ying looked at his with jealousy rippled in the eyes.
“With that being said, I do find you take your personal feelings in portrait.” Gu Xifeng clicked open a portrait photo, “Like this one, you’ve definitely captured the model very well, composition, lighting, skills, ten out of ten. But I do find this photo too personal to really give it an objective appreciation, let alone suggestion. If you are looking for a better career development, taking personal portrait might be a hinder.”
He Bai flushed crimson, the portraits in the collection were all Di Qiuhe! Of course they were very personal.
Xu Ying also took a look and saw the model was Di Qiuhe, he took a look at Gu Xifeng and took a look at He Bai who was blushing, and gave a snicker.
“Have you considered looking for more models, these photos are all the same model, trying different age groups and gender is definitely good for you.” Analyzed Gu Xifeng, he clicked open a new photo and frowned, he pointed it out with some hesitation, “Bai, this model is very photogenic, but it seems that…. it seems that he has some feelings for you… I’m not sure whether this is a good thing.” then he took a look at He Bai’s wedding ring, “especially now you are married.”
He Bai took a glimpse at Gu Xifeng, he explained in a low voice, “This model… this model is my partner, his name is Di Qiuhe, this Weibo is my personal Weibo, my assistant is taking care of my work Weibo, so normally I don’t upload other people’s portrait from this account. Sorry I thought you knew about me and Qiuhe.” he had sent Gu Xifeng the wedding invitation when he and Di Qiuhe got married, it was just Gu Xifeng was still abroad and couldn’t make it.
Dead silence reigned the room.
“Oh…” coughed Gu Xifeng, “I know you are married, but I thought your wife’s name is Di Qiuhee (girl’s name, meaning lotus flower in autumn).”
Hearing that, Xu Ying gave a roar of laughter, he pounded the table and laughed, “Qiuhee, Qiuhee, that’s such a cute name!”
Gu Xifeng and He Bai shot Xu Ying a look in unison.
No wonder all the gifts that Gu Xifeng had sent He Bai were somewhat… girly… …
Qiuhee, haha, this name suited Di Qiuhe.
