PNB Chapter 13: Are you usually this tolerant?
Chapter 13: Are you usually this tolerant?
After filming was completed, the three left the filming location.
Li Mo bought a plane ticket to return tomorrow night, and planned to stay in Hangzhou for one night tonight.
On the way, Zhang Yuxin and Li Mo kept complaining that Sister Wang made them, the little models, fulfill every request in order to please the clients.
This isn't the first time something like today has happened. No matter what they're doing, they have to go back, or Rixin won't give them anything!
Li Mo had worked as a model for a while before and understood these things, but his boss at the time was relatively honest.
Bai Lu chatted with the two of them, secretly thinking about how to make it up to Li Mo.
The two met for the first time, and not only did the other person ask for help, but they also kept all the wages for themselves. Although the amount was not much, it was still a day's wages for them!
Li Mo is leaving tomorrow, so I should at least show my appreciation by treating him to a meal.
Next time he has the chance to come to Hangzhou, I'll take a day off and spend some quality time with him.
"I'm so sorry, Li Mo. We agreed to have a good time sightseeing in Hangzhou today, but I didn't expect..."
You're leaving tomorrow night, right? I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow, you can't refuse!
The egret's voice rose a few decibels, carrying an air of unyielding authority.
Actually, Li Mo's plan this time was just to get to know Bai Lu; taking a stroll around was just a side thing.
Although there were some minor hiccups, the goal was achieved, and besides, the two of them got along much more comfortably after this incident.
There's no need to refuse such a small thing as a meal; the other person is just trying to make amends.
"Okay, then I'll follow your arrangements tomorrow!" Li Mo nodded in agreement. "You guys have work tomorrow, right? I'll come find you around when you're finished."
"It should be around 11 o'clock."
The three chatted and strolled around, and before they knew it, they arrived at the hotel that Li Mo had booked. Bai Lu and Zhang Yuxin then said goodbye and returned to their own little house.
"I'm back, Little White!"
As soon as she got home, Bailu quickly took off her shoes and socks, ran to the sofa, and hugged her roommate Xiaobai.
Xiao Bai is used to this situation. Every time Bai Lu comes back from work, she hugs her and says she needs to recharge.
"Why are you back so late today?" Xiaobai patted Bailu on the shoulder and asked curiously.
When the topic came up, Bailu perked up and told her everything that had happened that day.
"Look, this is a photo we took today."
Xiao Bai raised her eyes and examined the photos carefully: "No wonder Sister Wang insisted on having him take the photos; his looks are much better than other male models!"
"Right, that's what I think too!"
After chatting for a while, Xiaobai thoughtfully helped Bailu change the plaster, and seeing Bailu's tired face, she couldn't help but offer some advice again.
"Can't you take better care of yourself and go to the hospital for a checkup?"
"Oh, no need. A single trip to the hospital costs several hundred yuan, which would mean several days of work for nothing! This plaster is so good, cheap, and effective!"
"Then why did you treat them to dinner..."
"How can they be the same?"
The egret lay on the sofa, its pink toes curling up in pain.
Xiao Bai knew he couldn't argue with her, so he had no choice but to give up.
After a night's rest, Li Mo timed it perfectly, washed up, and rushed to the filming location.
I only found out this morning when I was texting with Zhang Yuxin that a big client came today. Bailu has a lot of work to do, so she might be a little late.
After speaking, she recorded a short video for Li Mo. Bai Lu was sitting in front of the makeup mirror putting on makeup, wearing a heavy down jacket, with a layer of fine sweat on her forehead.
Keep in mind that the temperature in Hangzhou today is 29 degrees Celsius!
Moreover, according to his observation yesterday, there was no air conditioning in the filming location, and filming in the high temperature must have been quite unbearable.
Upon learning of this situation, Li Mo specially prepared several bottles of cold drinks and went over. When he arrived, he only saw Zhang Yuxin waiting outside.
"Li Mo, you may have to wait a little longer. We have a big order today."
When Zhang Yuxin saw Li Mo, she walked over and kept fanning herself with a fan.
"It's okay, there's no rush, just wait for her to finish filming."
After saying that, Li Mo handed over the prepared cold drink.
"I really don't know what this client was thinking, shooting winter clothes in the middle of summer, and more than thirty sets at that! And most importantly, there's no air conditioning!"
"Two fans pointed directly at the photographer and the client? Seriously!"
Zhang Yuxin muttered to herself, "We only found out today that a big client came to shoot winter clothes."
The customer chose Bailu between the two, while she was taking pictures of her previous order. However, seeing how hard Bailu was working, she couldn't help but speak up.
Li Mo nodded. Although the models had no right to refuse the clothes they were supposed to wear for the shoot, they still had to take some protective measures.
The two chatted idly while waiting for the egret to finish filming.
...
Inside the room where the filming took place, the people were the same as yesterday, except for one more slightly overweight man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt.
Because the room was a bit hot, the man kept wiping away sweat, while Sister Wang pointed the electric fan at him and held a fan in her hand to warm his face.
After taking a set of photos, the egret quickly took off its down jacket and picked up a fan to cool down.
"Bai Lu, come here for a moment, go and change this on."
Sister Wang called out, holding a piece of clothing in her hand, and beckoned Bailu over.
"Brother Zhang said that these days, sellers' photos all feature people wearing a down jacket on the outside and this underneath. Go change into it!"
After saying that, Sister Wang handed the clothes in her hand to Bailu.
But when I got it in my hands, I realized that the dress was actually a white tank top.
Bai Lu's expression froze instantly, and after a moment of stunned silence, her brows furrowed slightly.
"Sister Wang, this isn't appropriate, it's a bit too..."
"Oh, what's inappropriate about it? It's not showing any skin or anything!"
Sister Wang raised her voice a few decibels; she didn't want to miss out on a big client because of a tank top.
Hearing this, Zhang Hao walked over, grinning as he looked Bai Lu up and down: "This is all the rage in our line of work now, take a look!"
The phone showed photos of models from other stores, confirming that this was indeed the current trend, just as he had said.
"Change into it once you've finished looking at it. Brother Zhang is a big client; he picked you as soon as he came in. Don't keep him waiting!"
Faced with Sister Wang's urging, Bai Lu bit her lip, clearly still hesitant about whether to agree.
She had previously photographed T-shirts or dresses, and had never tried tank tops before, but the models in the photos did look good in them.
I didn't see anything wrong with it.
"Haha, if you film it to my satisfaction, I'll add another hundred to your bid!" Zhang Hao noticed her hesitation and offered another bonus.
Upon hearing this, Sister Wang grabbed Bailu's arm, her eyes full of urging.
"Okay, I'll go change!"
Bailu agreed and took the clothes into the changing room.
However, instead of simply putting it on, she stuffed a tissue into her neckline to cover up her bulging treasure.
That's why she agreed. Since it's for promoting down jackets, everyone's focus will definitely be on the down jackets, so what's wrong with adding a tissue?
Soon, Bailu changed her clothes and came out of the dressing room.
Zhang Hao looked at Bai Lu's white tank top and smiled. As expected of the model he chose, she has a great look and figure!
But as his gaze moved upwards, Zhang Hao's expression turned cold.
Who told you to add tissues?! This is what I want to see.
She then told Sister Wang about it, and upon hearing the news, Sister Wang loudly scolded Bailu, "What are you wearing? Get me some tissues!"
Having said that, he reached out to pick it.
Bai Lu quickly realized what was happening and clutched her chest tightly: "Sister Wang, isn't our focus on the down jacket? A tissue won't hurt, will it?"
"What do you mean it's nothing? Look at the other models, they didn't add anything!" Zhang Hao put on a fake smile, but his eyes were fixed on the paper.
Noticing Zhang Hao's aggressive gaze, Bai Lu took a few steps back: "Sister Wang, Brother Zhang, why don't you try someone else..."
"How could you let anyone else do it? I signed a contract with your Sister Wang, what, is she trying to breach it?"
Zhang Hao fumbled with his fingers, raised his chin, and looked at Sister Wang meaningfully.
Sister Wang got angry at this and shouted back:
"White Egret, what's wrong with you? You can't even meet this simple request? What's so interesting about your body? Looking at you would make me lose a lot of flesh!"
"Think about how I treated you before! I gave you 500 yuan yesterday; if you don't want to work here anymore, then don't bother!"
"Look at you now that you're gone, who will need you anymore!"
Faced with Sister Wang's accusations, Bai Lu's eyes slowly reddened. She was just a low-level model; what could she possibly do?
What will I do if I lose this job?
Zhang Hao noticed her actions and increased the pressure: "It's just a simple shoot, why all this fuss? If it doesn't work out, just pay up and leave!"
But while saying that, his eyes remained fixed on the egret.
Lose money!
These two words weighed heavily on Bai Lu's heart. How could a mere model possibly have the money to compensate her?
Moreover, it seems that this man's purpose was not that at all. I had heard from others that there are clients in the industry who are difficult to deal with.
I never expected something like this to happen to me.
A mix of conflicting and hesitant emotions swirled in Bai Lu's heart.
Thinking of this, Bailu loosened her grip a bit, unsure of what to do next.
"well..."
Just then, a sigh came from beside him, and then a sturdy figure appeared in front of him.
"Are you usually this tolerant?"
Before Bailu could react, she felt a warm, large hand on her shoulder.
Bai Lu paused for a moment, then looked up and saw a familiar face in front of her. Tears welled up in her eyes and flowed uncontrollably.
Bai Lu trembled as she nestled against Li Mo's shoulder, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands. She felt a deep sense of security from the warmth emanating from him.
The tension in my heart gradually eased.
Her attention was completely focused on thinking, and she didn't notice when Li Mo stood in front of her.
Li Mo turned his head to look at the aggrieved little girl, his expression growing even colder.
The egret wiped its eyes, its gaze brimming with tears, and raised its head, its lips trembling as it said, "I...I'm used to it..."
"I'm sorry, but I can't stand it!"
After saying that, Li Mo swung his fist straight at Zhang Hao's face.
Zhang Hao didn't expect him to make a move and firmly blocked the punch!
"Holy crap!"
But Li Mo's next move didn't stop: "You like looking at tank tops, right? Here, I'll show you!"
With punch after punch, Zhang Hao gradually stopped resisting and could only protect his head.
Sister Wang tried desperately to stop them, Bai Lu gently tried to stop them, the photographer didn't dare to stop them, and Zhang Yuxin cheered from behind!
After he felt better, Li Mo let go of Zhang Hao's hand. Zhang Hao's face on the ground was already swollen like a pig's head. Sister Wang quickly helped him up.
"You...you better remember this, I'm calling the police! I'm calling the police!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Lu panicked, fearing that Li Mo would be implicated in some kind of responsibility.
"Li Mo, you should leave now. Don't worry about this place... I did it all!"
Li Mo remained calm and even shook his wrist: "You, a little girl, got beaten up like this by a grown man? Who would believe that!"
"Then...what should we do...!"
Hearing this, the egret was so frightened that her legs went weak, and she bit her finger and looked dejected.
"It's alright, leave it all to me!"
...
It was already dark when Li Mo walked out of the police station and got into a Mercedes-Benz, surrounded by the thick darkness of the night.
When it really matters, it has to be Sister Lan who steps in!
And Li Mo naturally had to give something in return...
One hour and fifty-nine minutes later…
Two bodies lay on the bed, drenched in sweat and panting heavily.
In this state, Li Mo entered a state of emptiness, and he began to ponder the origin of humanity, the end of the universe, and the meaning of life…
Oh, right, and egrets too.
A stubborn, interesting girl, he recalled the description on the panel.
I think she participated in SM Entertainment's audition program. The Korean wave has indeed been incredibly popular in the last two years.
Especially that XO thing, but Li Mo scoffed at them.
Li Mo had also learned about the entertainment industry on the peninsula and was very impressed with Lin Yun'er, the Blue Dragon Film Award winner.
It looks much better than the XO!
"Hey, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed."
Once she recovered, Qin Lan slithered over like a beautiful snake. Seeing that Li Mo didn't react, she patted him on the shoulder.
"It's nothing..."
Li Mo originally intended to give a perfunctory answer, but he suddenly thought of Yang Chaoyue and an idea popped into his head.
"By the way, how's things going at the studio?"
Upon hearing Li Mo bring up the matter, Qin Lan immediately became talkative.
"It's all over now. Speaking of which, what a coincidence, I was just about to leave Chuangyi, and we were thinking the same thing. Oh, and there's also..."
Qin Lan was talkative and spoke quickly, a fact that Li Mo noticed on the first day they met.
"Help me sign someone into the company! It's my younger sister, the one you've met. She's a girl who really wants to be in the entertainment industry, and I'm worried she'll be bullied elsewhere. I feel safe with her here."
Li Mo's words implied that he considered Qin Lan one of his own, which made Qin Lan very pleased.
"No problem! So you want her to act in a movie too?"
"No, she only watched the film crew for a few days. What does she know about acting? Let her go to the company for intensive training!"
Singing, dancing, acting—she does it all! Since she wants to get into this industry, she'll need all of these skills in the future!
After spending some time together, Li Mo's idealized image of Yang Chaoyue shattered completely.
He retracted his previous comment that she had good talent; apart from that undeniable face, this girl was simply... utterly useless!
He sings a bit off-key, dances a little uncoordinated, and as for acting... well... he's alright among these things.
Li Mo was originally worried about what to do with her, but Bai Lu's participation in SM reminded him.
Sehun from XO, Lim Yun'er from Girls' Generation, and Yang Chaoyue here all belong to the same type.
That means that apart from her face, she's not very good at anything else.
So Li Mo also planned to let her give it a try, believing that the domestic entertainment industry would definitely have its own girl groups in the future.
Prepare now so you can use everything when the time comes!
"I will cover the costs, but you will need to provide the necessary resources."
Speaking of which, Li Mo dumped her on Dilraba on set, and then dumped her on Qin Lan after leaving the set. Who knows who she might dump on someone else in the future.
"Do I really dislike her that much? If she finds out, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause!"
Li Mo couldn't help but chuckle to himself, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
[The commission is complete. Payment: Wanderer's Agarwood Oil (a one-time use item; after consumption, it will make your voice full of stories and atmosphere, since a wanderer is never short of stories)]
Is that all?
It seems my guess was right; Xiao Chaoyue will become famous through a girl group in the future!
However, if someone can debut based solely on their looks, the future of the Chinese entertainment industry is going to be bleak.
Feeling a small bottle suddenly appear in his hand, Li Mo looked at it but didn't find anything unusual about it.
He knew about Qinan oil; it was a good product for protecting the throat, and it was expensive.
It's said that one drop costs tens of thousands of yuan, but that only protects the voice. Li Mo's can change the voice.
Li Mo had long been impressed by these amazing devices, and naturally began to look forward to the changes they could bring to him.
Qin Lan had fallen into a deep sleep without anyone noticing. Li Mo carefully lifted her arms and legs and quietly went into the bathroom.
He tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and dripped oil in one smooth motion, immediately causing a burning pain in his throat.
Li Mo didn't care at all. In a great mood, Li Mo decided to arrange flowers and jade again!
Orchids are flowers too!
