Chapter 76 - A Hen-pecked “Husband” (1)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
“Xu Ying?” Jiang Xiuwen was stupefied. He then scrolled down the Weibo page with while rubbing his chin. “The Xu Ying you were mentioning, is he the exclusive photographer in Jun Chen Studio, who was replaced by He Bai? Well, has your He Bai offended any classmate or hindered anyone? Why did someone say that relying on close relations with teachers, He Bai grabbed his classmates’ scholarship by revising his grades through pulling strings?”
Di Qiuhe calmed down promptly and frowned, “What’s going on? Who said that? When did it happen?”

“An anonymous person, just now, and these slanders are updating. Let me see...Oh, there’s something new. The blogger also claims that He Bai was financially supported by a rich woman, and he bullied classmates, rode on rich classmates’ coattails, asocial...That’ s all. There’s definitely a pushing hand, otherwise, it won’t go viral so fast. Jiang Xiuwen asserted, and then asked, “Shall I dispose it?” As the saying went: Love me, love my dog. He shall undoubtedly do a favor to his friend’s lover. How could he not pay back to the one who hurt the person he cared about?
Di Qiuhe frowned, and he replied after a moment of pondering, “Look it up first, and I have to ask XiaoBai about how to deal with it.”
Jiang Xiuwen was stunned when he heard it, and then he said in despise, “Qiuhe, you’re definitely going to be hen-pecked.” Di was obedient to He Bai to such an extent even if he wasn’t courting for He at the moment, you could only imagine when they actually became a lovebird one day. It was estimated that Di shall have no limits and boundaries when treating with He Bai and things related to He.
“How can I be hen-packed?” Di Qiuhe raised his eyebrows and was somewhat dissatisfied. “XiaoBai would never like me to call him...Anyway, never ever say the word before him. He is a man like us, and he shall be upset if he is named that way.”
So was this the point?
“...Okay, I see. Let it be hen-pecked ‘husband’.” Jiang Xiuwen responded reluctantly, realizing that he had made a terrible mistake. Di had already had no limits and boundaries to He, even if there was, it would be set by He Bai.
Jun Chen grabbed the garment photo album under his arm, raised his hand to support his face, and kept his voice down, “He must be texting Di Qiuhe with your mobile phone.”
He Bai looked away, nodded his head expressionlessly, grudged and calmly replied, “He is dead in my heart.” Ten thousand times of torture could not setoff the fault of using his cell phone without authorization.
“When we finish talking, he will surely come to you and confess about it.” Jun Chen put down his hands and leaned back in his chair to look at Xu Ying, who was trying to look like nothing had happened, then Jun Chen gritted and said. “Then he will lie to you, saying that he has obtained Di Qiuhe’s permission, taking advantage of his absence to fabricate lies and play dumb.”
He Bai looked at Jun Chen, who unconsciously clenched his hands that seemed to be intended to beat someone, paused and asked, “Did he use your phone to text your friends?”
“Not a friend.” Jun Chen squinted, giving a grim expression. “It’s my cousin who just goes to high school.”
“...” The Second senior disciple of his was a real Darwin Awards’ fan.
“Sooner or later, we’ll get him.” Jun Chen turned his back to Xu Ying and looked away. He then lowered his head, picked up the album, and turned it over quickly. Finally, he nodded in satisfaction and said, “The Little Mermaid is so thoughtful that it provides comprehensive style of garments. There is nothing to change.”
As Jun Chen got down to business, He Bai restrained his mind and answered, “Once the matter regarding to clothes come to an agreement, there will follow the formal shooting preparation period. Mr. Jun, I’d like to confirm with you first that whether I should shoot the album cover or the MV cover of a song?”
When Jun Chen Studio first sought cooperation with the Little Mermaid, they simply mentioned the appointment of shooting MV cover for they only made a tentative invitation, and they did not finalize the album cover and MV cover together.
He had never dealt with these things before. When he first learned about the invitation, he thought MV cover and album cover were the same thing. He’d even struggled with it for a long time and believed that the common practice had been inexplicably changed somehow.
Luckily, Lin Xia explained to him later that the concepts of the two covers were totally different. He then was relieved and realized that the common practice had not changed much. Jun Chen Studio would probably end up using old photos for album cover. All he had to do was shooting the MV cover.
However, he was relieved too soon. When the two parties formally talked about the contract, the Jun Chen Studio demanded him to shoot all the covers needed for the album. That was why he got confused again as he could not figure out what the other party meant, so he asked the question.
“It’s undoubtedly both the covers.” Jun Chen replied, he then paused and added, “But I have a reservation option for the album cover, which means I may give up using your photos and choose another cover for the album if yours do not meet my expectation. Sorry.”
“I understand that. And it should be so.” He Bai relaxed quite a lot as he had a clear idea of the situation. He then questioned in a smile, “May I have the honor to appreciate your new album in advance before the shooting starts?”
He Bai’s professional attitude of asking for listening to the contents of the album, to grasp the overall tone before taking photos, pleased Jun Chen. With a slight smile, he got up and made a gesture of invitation, and then said, “As you wish, please.”
“Thank you very much.” He Bai got up and saw Xu Ying coming over. Recalling that there was such a scourge, the smile on his face froze. He frowned and took his mobile phone, lowered his voice and said, “I’ll deal with you later, Second senior disciple.”
The guilty Xu Ying was stunned, and looked at Jun Chen involuntarily.
Then Jun Chen sneered without even looking at him, opened the door and went out first.
“That’s the expression! Perfect! Shame that he’s dressed!” Xu Ying sighed again.
He Bai stepped out and paused, then quickened his pace. No wonder Xu Ying was the most notorious photographer in the field. Whoever could tolerate his wicked ideas?
