Shen Youjin had been well-prepared and remained calm as ever at this moment.
"You guys go ahead and get back to work! I'll handle this myself."
Hearing this, several employees hesitated for a moment before leaving.
Shen Youjin waited for God knows how long. Just when this incident was at its most heated, she made a few operations on her computer and posted a video with the faces mosaicked.
"Mr. Shen, the shot from that position will expose you. I don't recommend it."
"So what? I like it. Shoot quickly."
"Mr. Shen, that pose of yours isn't quite appropriate. I think you..."
"Stop being so wordy. The photos are for me to see, not you. You're being too nosy!"
"..."
Although it was only thirty seconds long, the truth was laid bare.
"Since the original video cannot be sent without the permission of the individuals involved, all the photos posted by @Half-Ripe Apple are highly photoshopped and have no reference value. This incident has had a negative impact on the Zhuguang Studio, and we have already contacted a lawyer to handle it."
She added relevant topics. Riding on the wave of the previous popularity, this video went viral as soon as it was posted, saving her the money for buying trending searches.
Those who had been scolding her before instantly rushed to Shen Qilin's account. That shameless Shen Qilin even closed the comment section in less than three minutes. He was probably on the verge of being pissed off by now!
Not only him, but even that little internet celebrity called "Half-Ripe Apple" was also scolded, and the comment section was in a complete mess.
"How disgusting! I feel so bad for the photographer. They still had to be polite to such a customer."
"I'm so curious to see what the original photos look like. @Shen Qilin, Mr. Shen, show them to us!"
"Am I the only one who wants to know how this video came about? It's so scary to secretly film customers!"
"Get out of here, you bleeding heart upstairs. The daughter of the original wife came to the studio. Any sensible person would take precautions."
"That's not how it should be said. How do you know she only secretly filmed him? And that she does this to everyone? Would you do that?"
"..."
Seeing this topic getting more and more intense, Shen Youjin posted another Weibo. This time, she didn't hold back.
"This is only aimed at Shen Qilin. After all, what he did was so obvious. @Shen Qilin, am I right, little brother?"
As soon as this post was published, everyone who was following this incident went crazy.
"Damn, she's so bold! Sister, I'm in love with you!"
"Didn't Shen Tianzhen and Shen Qilin be born on the same day? Why does she call Shen Qilin little brother?"
"Either it's a typo or there's some juicy gossip. The world of the rich is really exciting!"
"..."
Although Shen Youjin skimmed through a few comments, she then told the lawyer to remember to get as much compensation as possible from that little internet celebrity and Shen Qilin.
Such an opportunity didn't come often, so of course she wouldn't miss it.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Youjin noticed that Shen Qilin had posted the original photos. Even without deliberately making them look ugly through photo editing, there were hardly any decent ones.
He posted a nine-square grid of photos with a long essay in the middle, which was obviously written by someone else.
After all, for someone like him who either drank all day or messed around everywhere, how could he have such a strong ability to shift the blame?
His words were all about how the photos taken by the Zhuguang Studio were unflattering, while avoiding the real issues.
Shen Youjin was quite speechless. He must have thought that she couldn't obtain the authorization from the customers and thus couldn't produce evidence, so he did this on purpose.
After all, which of these rich people in the Beijing circle would want their photos to be judged by others? And even more so when involved in such a dispute?
Just then, Bai Beichen updated his post and @ her at the end.
"Sister can take such handsome photos casually. You're amazing! @Shen Youjin"
Below were the photos she had taken of him in the hibiscus mutabilis flower sea before, showing him running, closing his eyes, smiling, winking, and with his back to her. Each one was full of vitality and could be directly used as a magazine cover.
"Aww, I'm so into this ship! Who said the little brother has no sense of responsibility? He's so handsome!"
"I'm a professional photographer. Both the poses and angles are very professional. The photographer knows how to shoot according to the person's personality, not just using the same old routines. There's always someone better. I still need to keep improving!"
"Who else gets it? I'll fight for Jinxiu Liangchen! I'll see who dares to be their enemy!"
"Where are those who scolded before? Come out and apologize! These are the original photos. Even without Bai Beichen's good looks, they're still full of charm, okay?"
"Help! The vitality in these photos is so healing. I also want to take such photos!"
"..."
Watching the situation reverse and then reverse again, Shen Youjin's eyes sparkled. No wonder so many people were willing to engage in public opinion battles. It was really exciting.
She sent a message to Bai Beichen, asking if he was free tonight so she could invite him to dinner.
After waiting for a while, Bai Beichen sent a cute rabbit emoji crying while holding a carrot. "Sister, I have a business dinner today. Can we do it another day?"
He finally understood why Shen Youjin always refused him before. Whether she was really busy or not, he really didn't have the time now.
"It's okay. We can do it another day. I've ordered the soup and pastries you like. They'll be delivered to your company's reception desk later. Drink the soup before your dinner."
Bai Beichen had helped her, and this was the least she could do to show her gratitude.
However, Bai Beichen fell into silence after reading her message. Did she not want to owe him anything?
He wasn't stupid. If someone really liked another person, how could they react like this after the other person had helped them?
This kind of detachment and matter-of-fact attitude was something he had seen more than once between his elder brother and sister-in-law.
After thinking for a long time, he finally sent a message to Shen Youjin.
"Sister, I'm willing to do anything for you. You don't need to thank me."
Hearing her phone vibrate, Shen Youjin picked it up. When she saw this message, her clear eyes flickered.
What was going on? Why did it seem like Bai Beichen had become more and more overthinking since he joined her family's company?
Although what he said was true, other than thanking him, she hadn't thought about anything else.
"Just focus on your work. I have to get back to mine."
She didn't want to dwell on this issue. She had more important things to do now. She needed to keep the popularity going so that it would be convenient for what she planned to do next.
Flipping through the popular posts and the trending searches that had been there for a while, she would like a few of them.
After God knows how long, her phone rang.
She thought it was Fu Qingye. After all, this incident had caused such a big stir. For a controlling person like him, seeing the whole internet shipping her and Bai Beichen's "Jinxiu Liangchen" CP, he would probably be furious.
She was even about to hang up when she noticed that the name on the screen was "Shen Guoliang".
She frowned. He had been showing up in her world more and more frequently recently.
Did he see her Weibo post @ Shen Qilin and was afraid that his dirty deeds would be discovered, so he came to find her on purpose?
She pressed the answer button, curious to hear what this so - called biological father of hers had to say.
