"Come here quickly. I'll introduce some people to you. They've been admiring you for a long time."
"No, thanks. I just came to take a look."
"Alright then. It's just a pity they don't have the chance."
Dean Jin shook his head without insisting and took Shi Wan to another place.
As for over there...
After seeing clearly, Shi Qing was both angry and anxious. That was a place many people couldn't even get close to. How could Shi Wan just go there to take a look?
"Remember to cooperate with me later."
Chang Chao originally planned to teach Shi Wan a lesson later, but he didn't expect her to be so ignorant as to go to the place where the precious cultural relics were stored.
Shi Qing nodded. Chang Chao stepped forward and stopped at the cordon.
"Dean Jin, why did you take someone in casually? What if something gets accidentally damaged? Wouldn't it not only offend people but also embarrass your friend?"
Dean Jin, who was talking to Shi Wan, paused, "She won't."
"As far as I know, this young lady is still a student, right? Students are naughty. How can you be so sure?"
"Are you deliberately looking for trouble?"
"This is the truth. I'm also doing this for everyone's good." There was full disdain in Chang Chao's eyes. "You know, damaging cultural relics is a serious matter and one has to bear criminal responsibility."
Hearing Chang Chao's words, many people gathered around, admiring his courage to go against Dean Jin and curious to know if what he said was true.
"You..."
"Since that's the case, we'll just leave."
Shi Wan didn't want to cause trouble in this place and stopped Dean Jin from defending herself.
"Alright." Dean Jin glared at him. "Blind!"
Chang Chao's face darkened. "I'm just stating the facts."
"Did I ever refute that what you said wasn't the truth? I'm just saying you're blind."
"Dean Jin!"
"I may be old, but this is still my place, and I'm not deaf. You don't have to shout at me so loudly."
Chang Chao's face looked extremely ugly. After working here for so long, Dean Jin had always turned a blind eye to his arrogance and had never embarrassed him.
He never expected that the first time would be for Shi Wan's sake.
"I think what Mr. Chang said is right. He's also doing this for everyone's good. How can you curse people?" Following the hint, Shi Qing said, "I know the woman in front of us. She is indeed a college student, and moreover, her major isn't archaeology."
"Miss, who are you then? How did you get in?"
"I was invited by Mr. Chang to take photos."
Dean Jin frowned. It was true that they had planned to invite someone to take photos, but it was supposed to be a professional photographer, someone they usually worked with, not a little girl.
This time...
"Changing the style once in a while isn't a bad idea. Besides, Lao Li is sick."
Noticing Dean Jin's displeased look, Chang Chao explained.
"You! This isn't an art photoshoot. What's the need to change the style? Have you forgotten all you've learned before?"
"If the dean can let a student in, why is the dean so resistant to a photographer?"
Chang Chao didn't take it seriously.
"Mr. Chang, if you want to take art photos, that's fine, but not here."
Shi Wan tried to calm Dean Jin down, knowing that these two were deliberately looking for trouble.
"You don't understand. Just shut up. She's a proper photographer."
"Really? How about showing everyone first?"
Shi Qing's face changed slightly, and she kept giving Chang Chao hints with her eyes.
She didn't know how to take photos of these things at all. She mostly just took selfies.
If the photos in the camera were seen, it would be a disaster!
"Sure. Since you don't believe it, I'll show you who's more professional."
Chang Chao didn't pick up on Shi Qing's hints.
"I... I haven't taken many photos yet. Let's wait until I'm done."
"Oh?" Shi Wan curled her lips. "This professional photographer has been here for so long and hasn't taken a single photo?"
"The lighting wasn't right."
"I seem to have seen her take a lot of photos just now."
Suddenly someone said.
Shi Qing felt a tightness in her heart. Before she could refute, another person said, "Yes, I was studying over there just now, and she told me to get out of the way because she wanted to take photos. I stood there waiting for her to finish before I continued my research."
Damn it!
Why did these people remember these things so clearly?
And they were supposed to be professionals!
"Show it to everyone then."
"I..."
"Maybe she took some and then deleted them. Let's wait until she's done."
Receiving Shi Qing's panicked hints, Chang Chao finally understood and cursed silently. He had to step in.
"That can't be right. We clearly saw her taking photos just now."
"Yes. Is she really a professional photographer?"
"We can't just let random people in here."
Everyone present began to sense something was wrong.
"Stop arguing. If you want to see so much, then let them see."
Chang Chao motioned for Shi Qing to take out the camera.
Shi Qing was sweating coldly. She took out the camera as if being forced to do so.
The photos she took were actually okay to look at, but her figure was in every photo.
As soon as the photos were shown, everyone frowned and looked at them for a while.
"What is this supposed to be?"
"She's taking selfies. The cultural relic in that photo is completely blocked."
Shi Qing felt a numbness in her scalp and forced an explanation, "These are my selfies, not photos of the cultural relics. Those are the ones. Although my skills aren't very good, I'll improve them later."
"Improve later?" Dean Jin snorted. "You said these were your selfies. Then why did you show them?"
"Moreover, all these are your selfies? I don't see many photos of the cultural relics, but your figure is in every single one. Is this the photographer you were talking about?"
Chang Chao had thought there would be at least one or two decent photos, but now he realized that the only thing worth looking at was probably Shi Qing herself.
"So didn't I just say that I haven't started the official shooting yet?" Chang Chao changed the topic. "Just now, we were clearly talking about Shi Wan. Why are we bringing others into this?"
"Yes. Wanwan is my invited guest. What's Shi Qing's purpose for being here?"
"What guest? She's just a student."
Shi Qing echoed, "Yes, Shi Wan is just a student. I can prove it. Moreover, she knows nothing about these things. Those professional people are out in the field all year round and hardly attend any classes. Even though I'm not very professional, I've still taken some photos. What can Shi Wan do?"
"I think you're quite professional. You took such good photos, didn't you?"
Now that the trouble had come to her, how could she not say something?
Shi Qing was at a loss for words. She could hear the sarcasm in Shi Wan's words, and her face turned pale and then red.
"Fine. We can just invite a more professional person later. Let her take the photos for today. As for Miss Shi Wan... if you have nothing to do, please leave."
"If anyone should leave, it's you." Dean Jin was angry. "Chang Chao, I misjudged you."
"Dean, Shi Wan has no real ability. I know you're just saying this because of some man, but this isn't a joke."
Chang Chao's serious look made many people present wonder if Dean Jin was really old and being deceived.
Otherwise, why would he let a student with no foundation in?
