Chapter 152: Surprise
Translator: Sissy That Walk
At the weekend, Niu Junjie took He Bai to the company, went straight to the top chairman’s office, called his father who was on business trip and asked for the password of the safe.
He Bai thought he somewhat resembled a blockhead when opening the safe with his butt bending down, he worried. “Is this the watch your father is going to give your mother as a gift. You just take it out like that. What if it breaks?”
“If it breaks, fix it. It’s fine. My parents don’t care. Besides, it looks delicate but it’s solid actually. It won’t break unless hit it with a stone or fall high.” Niu Junjie waved his hand carelessly, closed the safe, stuffed the watch box into his bag, grabbed He Bai by the shoulder and shook his head handsomely. “Come! I’ll show you something good!”
He Bai walked with him passively, wondering, “Show me? Aren’t we go to take pictures? ”
“Taking pictures while gaining experience. Let’s go. I’ve found you a great place. I’m sure the pictures you take will be beautiful!” Niu Junjie guaranteed, full of confidence.
He Bai raised his eyebrows, smiled at him and stopped asking.
An hour later, Niu Junjie parked in front of a club.
“This is where my mother received her love token from my father.” Niu Junjie handed the key to the valet who came to meet him. As he walked in with him adeptly, he told him, “Right here, my father won my mother’s heart with an ugly watch he designed and made by himself, which could be called fortune favors fools. Sometimes, my mother would jokingly complain to me that she was totally worried that my father, the man of an imposing build, would cry out if being rejected, that was the reason she said yes. It would be thrilling as she imagined, thus she shivered and agreed. ”
He Bai: “...” LaoSan was bearish indeed, who could even tease his parents mercilessly.
“Besides, my mother told me that when she gave birth to me, my father cried and called my grandfather outside the delivery room, saying that he was sorry, and secretly had hypodesmus when my mother was in confinement, saying that giving birth was too horrible. Ha, ha, ha, ha, he’s a wuss.” Niu Junjie smiled gloatingly, as happy as a lark.
He Bai looked at him sideways, remembering how he had cried outside the delivery room in his last life, whispered, “LaoSan, you are just like your father.” Both of you were wuss in love.
Niu Junjie rejected and raised his voice. “No, they say I’m more like my mother! My father is a fatty, I don’t want to be like him!”
He Bai shook his head and sighed. He did not explain, only made a decision silently in his mind: When the sister-in-law gave birth to the baby in this life, he must take the camera to wait outside the delivery room early and record the foolish LaoSan in the whole process, so that the sister-in-law would have something to roast about to their little LaoSan in the future.
When speaking, they had reached the door of one of the deepest rooms in the club. Niu Junjie held the door handle, turned to look at him sternly, and advised him earnestly, “This room is where my parents were engaged, nothing of the arrangement inside has been moved. XiaoBai, you have to do a good job.”
He Bai seldom saw him so serious, so he got serious too. He laid aside his relaxation and solemnly answered, “OK.” He brought him here on good purpose and told him things about his parents, which were so precious. He had lived for two life, the last thing he could do was to spoil the sincerity others gave to him.
Niu Junjie stared at him for three seconds and burst out laughing. He then raised his hand and patted He Bai on the shoulder, turned the doorknob and motioned him to go in, said, “We can’t take out the watch for too long. You have about four hours. Come on.”
He Bai was distracted by his laugh, then he rolled his eyes sourly, stepped into the door.
The curtains were drawn in the room and it was dim, he could not seen the arrangement clearly.
Click.
Niu Junjie turned on the light, then put the watch box and a product introduction booklet on the cabinet by the door. When He Bai looked over, he smiled and said. “I won’t disturb you. I’ll call you for dinner four hours later, come on.” Then he backed away and closed the door thoughtfully.
He Bai had no time to stop him, glancing at the watch and product introduction booklet on the cabinet, smiled heartily and picked up the watch.
The furnishings in the room were decorous after years. Some old photos were hung on the wall facing the window, with the date recorded in the corner of these photos, according to which could roughly outline the life track of the three of the Niu family in the past two decades.
It was a warm room full of memories. He Bai’s lips raised when he remembered that Di Qiuhe said he would build a photo wall in their future home.
When observing the room, he noticed a small metal box on the solid wood table that was completely out of place here. He opened it doubtfully and looked down and lost his smile after seeing what was inside.
Actually, it was colorful background plates and small lighting lamps needed for photographing. Niu Junjie was impetuous and careless, but he was actually quite scrupulous ... a good brother with a soft heart.
For a moment, he was deeply touched, then restrained his good mood, taking a light breath, opening the velvet box in his hand, looking into the box to the bright quartz watch tenderly.
Four hours went by, Niu Junjie knocked on the door and came in on time, while He Bai put away the camera the same time.
“Finished?”
“Finished.”
“Then dinner?”
“Fine.”
After the brief conversation, He Bai gave the watch back to Niu Junjie, who took it with a smile and, without asking how the shooting went, put his arm around his neck and introduced the entertainment activities and special dishes of the club to him with gusto.
He Bai didn’t mention it and followed his topic.
It took He Bai five whole days retouching these photos, during which he went to Xu Yinrong for a deep talk. When another weekend came, Niu Junjie finally got the ten photos handed in by He Bai.
“Only ten?” Niu Junjie was surprised and puzzled. “You took so many days to retouch, I thought you shot a lot.”
He Bai rubbed his dry eyes and answered with a smile, “I did shoot a lot, but there are only ten of them can be used. Give it to your father, it delayed you so long as to rack your brain to find excuses for stopping your father from looking for a photographer.”
Niu Junjie felt it considerate and rubbed his nose when he heard this. “He could not find a suitable photographer for the time being... It’s you who has racked your brain for these photos. Look at your black eyes. Go eat, shower and sleep. I’ll go home to show my dad the photos. I won’t come back tonight.”
“Well, drive safe.” He Bai said.
Niu Junjie responded with a smile, greeted the other two roommates and went home with backpack.
The next day was the weekend. He Bai, who was supposed to have a good sleep, was woken up by a phone call from Niu Junjie.
“Did you sleep well last night? Listen to me! I didn’t sleep well at all! So bad! Because my father and mother got crazy! They decided to change the design of the watches temporarily, adding different dark lines to the dial of the 100 watches to distinguish them! They said that everyone’s love is unique, so the watch representing love must be unique as well! XiaoBai, you’re a genius! Those photos are gorgeous! The diamonds on the dial are like stars. It’s beautiful! How on earth did you get the lighting, take those pictures and retouch them? In short, come now! My parents are desperately looking forward to inviting you to dinner!”
He Bai was sleepy at the moment, he rubbed his face, thought for a while, then rubbed his ears, which were slightly numb with the noise, and asked confusedly, “What? It’s early and I don’t want to eat.”
“Not now ... never mind, go back to sleep, I’ll pick you up!”
“What ... hello? LaoSan?”
He put down his mobile phone, glancing at the closed call interface on the screen, blinked and grabbed the quilt and collapsed.
Five minutes later, he opened his eyes abruptly, pulled out his cell phone to the call interface, repeatedly confirming that he had just received a call from Niu Junjie that he was not dreaming, he kicked the quilt away directly, sat up and thumped on the bed.
His first commercial shoot was approved!
Niu Junjie rushed to the school as fast as he could, dragging He Bai into the car with excitement. After urging him to fasten the seat belt, Niu said mysteriously, “Two surprises, which do you want to hear first.”
He Bai was affected by his mood, pretended to think about it and answered, “The second one. Generally speaking, the latter, the bigger.”
“Wise decision.” Niu Junjie flamed out the car which had just started, leaning over him and said seriously, “Last night, after appreciating your photos, my dad praised you for your talent and wanted to invite you to make an advertisement for a new collection of men watch, which will be on TV.”
He Bai was shocked, it was truly surprising, but he restrained and asked in seriousness, “What about the first one?”
Niu Junjie raised his eyebrows and lengthened his tone. “The first one ... this new collection has a spokesperson. You have to shoot both the spokesperson and the watches.”
He Bai raised his eyebrows likewise. “Is this a surprise?” What kind of surprise was it that obviously more difficult to shoot the product only against together with a spokesperson?
“Have you forgotten?” Niu Junjie leaned close to him and winked. “When my family was just planning to launch a new luxury watch collection, I recommended someone to my dad. We both know him, and it was you helped me deliver the endorsement contract.”
“Light luxury collection, LaoSan recommended, they all knew, delivered the contract” ... After linking the key words, his memory instantly awakened and eyes widened, “You mean the light luxury collection, is specified Di, Di ...”
“Yes, it’s your Di Qiuhe!” Niu Junjie excitedly announced the answer, slapping him on the shoulder, lightting up with pleasure, “XiaoBai, you are going to work with your fat bird! Have you ever expected the interweaving of love and career, is it a super surprise?”
He Bai leaned forward as being patted, and finally earthed to himself after being stunned for a while. He raised his hand to wipe his face, couldn’t help laughing and nodded. “Surprise, surprise indeed.” That Childish Di was about to fall into his hands, it couldn’t be more surprise!
