One Useless Rebirth

Chapter 56: He was Screwed (1)

The day before the press conference of the Little Mermaid, the heat in regard to Di Chunhua’s disclosure online had faded drastically under the instruction of Di Bian. The Netizen’s attention can be diverted by some other hot topics, then everything concerned would be left behind. But that very night, Di Chunhua went online to compete for Darwin Award. To everyone’s surprise, she posted a Weibo, accusing He Bai of not making a clear distinction between company and his personal interests, alleging He of being instigated by Di Qiuhe to take no pictures of the Little Mermaid’s main collection for her. Besides, she warned He not to be triumphant, and such rags were only for beggars. No big deal to her at all! Anyone who disgraced her should be doomed!

The post was deleted within just five minutes, however, the tactful netizen had taken screenshot.

Netizen one: How can Photographer He be involved in the affair? Miss, are you trying to divert our attention? How could it be possible that a company’s photographer in charge of clothes lending matters. Photographer He was made a scapegoat. Are you ashamed? Come on. No one knew that you were refused to borrow the clothes if you don’t tell, okay?

Netizen two: The Little Mermaid has been publicizing for a long time, addressing that the Princess collection will be unveiled on the very day of the press conference. How could you ask them to lend you the garments before that day? You may take it for granted that everyone else should spoil you like your mother. They just did a right thing. How could it be blamed on Di Qiuhe, as does He Bai. How could they always run into fool and be such a scapegoat.

Netizen three: Rags? For beggars? I’m afraid that Miss Di may put on gold on a daily basis. I hope you keep your words that never ever wear Little Mermaid’s clothes afterwards.

The ironic comments came one after another and were connected to the Little Mermaid.

Shortly afterwards, Yi Ka apparel made an official statement, explaining the process of borrowing clothes, and then thanked Di Chunhua for her affection and support for the Little Mermaid, retrieving the Di family’s reputation in a gentle manner, so as not to an awkward extent to both sides.

Unexpectedly, Di Chunhua looked for trouble once again. She posted a new one saying that her account had been usurped, and the last post was not sent by her.

Netizen: ...You treat us like fool?

If you have made a reasonable explanation from taking advantage of Yi Ka’s statement, you’ll get over it smoothly. How dare you give us such a stupid excuse to fool us all. Are you trying to give a slap in Yi Ka’s face who had just spoke for you, or to destroy your family’s reputation?

“That’s true! My account was usurped! Which bitch did it to me!” Di Chunhua screamed and smashed her new mobile phone one more time.

With her face as calm as water, Qin Li was thinking over every single possibilities. But the more she thought about it, the more irritated she became.

She had sent someone to investigate Di Bian, but there was no clue. If Di Bian did usurp Chunhua’s account, what did he do that for? She had done everything he wished, such as, letting the Qin family to be tractable by stopping making trouble in Huangdu. By this time, Di Bian had gradually come around and changed his mind. . . No, it couldn’t be Di Bian. Although he put interests as the paramount, he still loved both his son and daughter on the premise that the interests could be ensured.

As such a big company, Yi Ka apparel shall never offend her, one of its major clients, for a few Weibo posts sent by her daughter. Thus those Weibo posts will not lead to any substantial damage to Chunhua except for a few more scolds.

It was more like a prank against her daughter than a conspiracy.

So who had usurped the account? What was his or her purpose of sending those Weibo posts? Only her assistant and service staff of Yi Ka knew the process of borrowing clothes, whereas the one who could get daughter’s Weibo account. . .

She frowned and looked at her daughter and asked, “Chunhua, have you ever told your classmates about your Weibo account? Are there any of them who don’t get along well with you?”

Di Chunhua’s thought was taken away in an instant. After a moment’s reflection, she nodded and expressed her resentment.” Yeah! Quite a few!”

The mother and daughter were further misled, they had made various analysis of Di Chunhua’s several classmates. At the same time, the Little Mermaid brand’s market release had been grandly launched as planned. Countless big celebrities were present, shining on the scene.

As a costume photographer of Little Mermaid, He Bai was arranged to show up with the costume designer of the Little Mermaid, receiving congratulations from guests and praises from the boss. Only then did he know that Zhu Ke, the owner of Yi Ka apparel, was Yang Fu’s aunt, who had made a great contribution to his getting of the current job.

“Thank you, Miss Yang.” He found Yang Fu and gave her a sincere thanks after the reception began.

“It’s me that should thank you for all that. In order to express her heartfelt thanks for helping her find such a talent as you, my aunt has given me a lot of benefits.” Yang Fu held her wine cup and muffled her voice with her hand over her lips, being approachable and friendly.

He Bai smiled and thanked her for her kindness and understanding. He made fun of her words and cut the formalities.

Over the main stage, Zhu Ke and Lin Xia proposed their toast, glanced at the He Bai, who was smiling and talking with Yang Fu, and asked, “What do you think of him?”

Lin Xia also looked at He Bai, smiling and nodding, “Pretty good, but Yi Ka apparel may be unable to stay him for long.”

“What do you mean?” Zhu Ke was surprised.

“He gets progress so fast that costume photographers can never be his career’s destination. Sister Ke, we shall get ready to look for the next costume photographer for Little Mermaid.” Lin Xia said with some regret that she blessed him on the one hand while felt pity for couldn’t keep him in the Little Mermaid on the other. “When he came to Yi Ka to seek cooperation, the samples he took could only be regarded as qualified or slightly superior than qualified. Amazing as it was, I could see that he had to practice more before saving up enough experience. That’s why I gave him the opportunity to take publicity photographs. I meant to let him practice and learn more, as well as work with the team. But I never foresee that...”

Ju Ke got interested and asked, “Foresee what?”

“Consequently, he managed to overcome the problem of inexperience during the short period of time of taking propaganda photographs.” Lin Xia said, smiling resignedly and shaking her head. “I thought he would encounter sorts of difficulties, or struggle for a long time in shooting, and then grow up step by step...I underestimated his efforts. He is the person who determines to be perfect once he undertakes the job. He is gifted, young and prepared to learn and practice more. Such a promising person will not be limited to be a costume photographer forever.”

Zhu Ke took another look at He Bai, somewhat could not conceive such a young man working like a horse.

“Sister Ke, have you seen the elf collection of photos of Miss Jia?” Lin Xia asked unexpectedly.

Zhu Ke moved her glance, took back her sight and nodded, “Of course, it’s marvelous. That’s good enough for the Big Four fashion magazines.”

“By the way, sister Ke, do you think how many celebrities here now would like to recruit him?”

Beyond all question, a great many! In particular those female celebrities and fashion-engaged ones. It was estimated that 80% of them yearned for such a genius whose skills were better than Facetune as He Bai.

“I see what you mean.” Zhu Ke sighed in her mind and looked at Lin Xia with some regret.” I’ll seek out a qualified costume photographer...I’m sorry, I meant to alleviate your workload, but it seems to have caused you some trouble.”

Lin Xia smiled and answered, “I have never thought it’s a trouble. Thanks to He Bai that the Little Mermaid got such an instant hit. He’s not a trouble but a mascot.”

Zhu Ke relaxed and smiled when she saw Zhao Xia did not take it to heart, she then nodded and replied, “Right, he’s a mascot.” Once the mascot set foot in the entertainment circle, and became a popular choice among numerous fashion photographers. The Little Mermaid, as the first brand he served, shall definitely shine in reflected glory.

Three hours later, the release and opening reception came to an end smoothly. Then the Little Mermaid’s first flagship store opened in a luxury shopping mall. The rich ladies, who had been drooling over the Little Mermaid for a long time, snapped up the limited edition of princess and elf collection at a stormy speed, online and offline.
