The assistant immediately understood.
He discreetly went to the next photo studio for a look around and soon returned to Liu Ying’s side with a rather unsightly expression on his face.
Liu Ying furrowed her brows, "What’s wrong?"
"Not good." The assistant handed over a few sneakily taken photos to Liu Ying.
He didn’t need to say much, Liu Ying understood as soon as she saw the photos.
Even without any editing, she could still be this beautiful, by the time the magazine was published, them being in the same issue, Liu Ying subconsciously touched her own face.
"The newcomers in the entertainment circle really keep coming one after another."
"I’ve already called Wang Yu over, we can start shooting now."
If it were just earlier, Liu Ying might still have been interested in the magazine shoot, but now, after seeing Shu Wan’s photos, Liu Ying completely changed her mind.
She tossed her phone aside, "Shoot what? I’m not so narcissistic that I’m blind, do I have to be a backdrop for someone else’s glory?"
The assistant also felt troubled, but then suddenly, as if he thought of something, "I heard that Goddess Magazine is making some adjustments to their upper management lately, and your good friend Cheng Jia seems very likely to get promoted."
Although the entertainment circle is a world that judges by appearance, in the face of power, even the prettiest face is useless.
"Cheng Jia?" Liu Ying’s eyebrows lifted slightly, "I almost forgot about him, alright, I’ll give him a call later."
On the other side inside the photo shoot area, with Wang Yu gone, everyone sat on the side to rest.
Wang Tian didn’t know when he’d sneaked over, "Baby, the person who came to call for photographer Wang Yu just now, did you feel something was off about him?"
Shu Wan didn’t answer Wang Tian’s question, instead gave him a meaningful look that made Wang Tian feel a bit uneasy.
"...No, what’s with that look? Say something, you’re making me nervous."
"You’ve gotten smarter."
The man who had just come in had been staring at Shu Wan since he entered, and it wasn’t the curious kind of looking either, but rather with a kind of offensive displeasure that Shu Wan had noticed right away.
"...Are you saying I was very stupid before?"
"Average." Shu Wan candidly stated.
Wang Tian, the person in question, truly had average abilities, which is why he hadn’t managed to bring forth any famous stars after so many years.
But the reason Shu Wan hadn’t kicked him to the curb was primarily because, in front of someone like Shu Wan, whose intelligence crushed nearly everyone else, it didn’t matter if the manager was smart or not.
Obedience was the most important.
Wang Tian was not only obedient, but also inherently a kind person, which was enough for Shu Wan.
Hearing Shu Wan’s assessment of himself, Wang Tian felt a momentary sting, but quickly let it go.
"Never mind, being told by the top scorer that my abilities aren’t that great isn’t something I can’t accept." Wang Tian eagerly moved closer to Shu Wan, "As long as you don’t fire me, whatever you say goes."
"Enough, keep an eye on Wang Yu’s situation."
The tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind.
Shu Wan was not narcissistic, but having been in the entertainment circle for so long, she deeply understood the harsh competitiveness of the industry.
She also knew that her beauty, which didn’t match her current status, would bring her all sorts of unnecessary trouble.
They said they were borrowing Wang Yu for just a moment in the neighboring studio, but that moment turned into the entire morning.
Shu Wan and Wang Tian didn’t find this unusual, their willingness to wait until noon was mainly out of respect for Wang Yu.
Now time was up, Shu Wan picked up her bag and prepared to leave.
However, just as she reached the door, she encountered a large group of people crowding around a woman wearing sunglasses heading this way.
Shu Wan didn’t recognize her, but she did recognize the assistant following beside her, precisely the man who had come looking for Wang Yu in the morning.
Consequently, Shu Wan knew, the woman in sunglasses was Liu Ying, her counterpart in this magazine shoot.
Shu Wan usually had a good eye for people, and her first impression of Liu Ying wasn’t very favorable.
So at this moment, Shu Wan didn’t intend to greet her.
But in the entertainment industry, this action was taboo.
The industry could rank people into eighteen levels, and lower-tier stars would usually act very respectfully when encountering someone of a higher status.
Thus, seeing Shu Wan walk past without even a glance, a shadow passed across Liu Ying’s eyes.
But she said nothing; rather, it was her assistant who couldn’t resist commenting as Shu Wan walked by, "The newcomers of today really have no manners, not even greeting their seniors."
Shu Wan ignored him and left with an unchanged expression.
