Chapter 119 Fashion Weekly
Chapter 119 Fashion Weekly
The man who welcomed them wore a pair of glasses. He was not so tall and was about 35 or 36 years
old. Judging from the way he dressed, he seemed to be a senior manager.
Jean knew Fashion Weekly. It was the largest media company in the city. It had not only a publication
and a news office, but also branches for TV, film and post production processes. Besides, there was a
TV station next to the company.
The Fashion Weekly was very famous as it was enjoying a consistent high rating. It was also popular
among entertainment and fashion circles. Jean also heard that the Fashion Weekly was supported by
some of the very powerful people.
This media building was also the home of most A-list celebrities. A lot of A-list celebrities, like Selena,
were trained there.
Since that big company was supported by very powerful people, it didn't lack funds. But why did they
plan to produce a TV program about couples?
"Hello, Mr. Qi. It's nice to meet you. I am Kevin Wang, the Vice General Manager of the Fashion
Weekly."
"It's nice to meet you, too."
Kevin shifted his gaze from Zed to Jean. Then, she asked, "This should be your wife."
It was the first time that someone called Jean as the wife of Zed. Jean felt very weird when she heard
that. She didn't know why it sounded so weird. She just felt uncomfortable when she heard somebody
called her that way.
Zed nodded. He saw Jean standing still there. It seemed that she didn't want to respond to the Vice
General Manager at all.
Zed bowed his head, smiled apathetically and pressed his lips. "Yes. But my wife... isn't talkative."
Jean abruptly looked at Zed with a serious expression on her face.
"You are very affectionate with each other. Well, this tailored program seems to be very fit for you."
Kevin said with a smile.
Tailored? Jean was a little confused and weirdly looked at Zed. She felt that something was strange
about the program.
She wanted to listen to Zed's explanation. However, Zed just gave her a cold glance. Then, he said to
Kevin, "Let's go inside."
Jean angrily stamped her feet and followed them after she saw that they were leaving.
'Zed, you are so evil. One hour ago, you explained to me that your father accepted the invitation for us
to be part of this program. You said that this program would help you restore the company's reputation.
Yet, the Vice General Manager just said that the program was specially tailored for us. Does it mean
that you've already planned this program even before?' Jean thought.
When they entered the building together, a lot of girls were attracted. Some girls inside the building
were employees of that media company, while most of them were artists who had just made their
debut, or trainees.
"Look, how handsome that man is!" "Oh, my god! Is that stud muffin a newbie here?"
'Stud muffin?' Jean couldn't help but giggle. She felt so funny about those girls calling Zed a stud
muffin.
'He was not young any more. How could they compare him with the stud muffins that were in their early
twenties?
He was obviously a middle-aged man. He deserved to be called uncle. Yet, they even called him stud
muffin.'
Her giggle attracted Zed's attention. While waiting for the elevator, Zed suddenly turned around and
apathetically stared at her with his fierce eyes. Then he blankly asked her, "Now, don't you think I am a
stud muffin?" This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Jean was a little shocked. She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Am I not allowed to have any opinion
about that? Stud muffin is a title for young handsome men, but you...... You are obviously as old as an
uncle."
"Uncle?" Zed was displeased with her appellation of him. Because of that, his face eventually turned
gloomy.
Kevin, who stood beside them, giggled when he overheard their conversation.
"Did I say something wrong?" She turned her head on her side and pretended to be innocent.
'At that situation, Zed wouldn't dare to be mean at her. Considering that they were recording a program
about couples. Their marriage would be suspicious if he would treat her as rude as before.'
"Oh, he seemed to be the youngest CEO of Qi Group. He is so handsome!"
"Yeah, it seemed that he was really the CEO. Who is that woman beside him?"
"I don't know. She must be his assistant. But he is really very handsome. It will be very great if I can
ride on the elevator with him."
She had just been observing those girls' appellation of Zed. But she didn't expect that they would also
say something about her.
'Assistant? Do I look like an assistant?' Jean took a deep breath and looked up. She incidentally looked
at Zed's sneering face.
They took the elevator up to the eighth floor. After they got out, they were led to the VIP room. After a
while, the director and crew members of the program came in. They basically discussed about what
should be recorded, and the matters that needed attention.
This program was recorded more easily than Jean had expected. Some variety shows she had
watched before even took several months to record. But in that show, it would only take one week to
finish the recording. Besides that, they were invited as special guests. So, their schedules were
different from other invited couples.
Jean was not sure whether she should feel relieved or distressed after she heard that they would only
need to spend one week in that variety show. She didn't know if her boss would mind if she couldn't go
for work for the whole week.
They discussed about the program for about 2 hours. At the end of their discussion, the Vice General
Manager assigned two assistants for them. Then, their assistants led them to the studio for their
makeup trials. They should be taken photos for advertisement after a while.
It almost took them an hour to finish their makeup and fitting. After their makeups were fixed, they went
to the studio to have a photo shoot. Jean felt awkward when she was taken photos with Zed inside the
studio. It was their first time to be in the same photos together.
They even hadn't taken any photo when they got the marriage certificate. To get that certificate,
someone had their images combined in the photo.
Jean and Zed were not as affectionate with each other as what was said in the rumor. Both of them
looked really awkward in their photos.
"Here you go. You should get closer to each other."
"Smile. Remember to show a smile. A sweet smile."
"No, no! You should look very happy and sweet… Like you are enjoying each other's company." The
photographer repeated. He never stopped instructing them about how they should pose and look.
Jean felt very helpless. She had never taken photos with other people. Moreover, she didn't know how
to work it out at all.
She looked at the photographer that was off the stage and pondered. She would rather stand there and
shoot. She would gladly exchange her position with the photographer. She, as the photographer, would
shoot photos of Zed and the photographer.
Because of Zed's prominence, the photographer finally asked them politely to take a rest on the side.
He asked them to rest for an hour and pull in their emotions. After that, they would start shooting again.
Both assistants treated them very considerately. Perhaps it was because the company has instructed
them to do so.
They served them with tea, water, juice, fruits, snacks, cakes, and a lot more... The table beside them
was full of stuffs. Yet, the other guests who were invited to take photos on site weren't treated as kindly.
Jean really wanted to sit there, eat them up and go back home.
Zed still looked as cold as ice. He read the magazine he held without any expression on his face. Jean
assumed that the photographer had not been satisfied with their photos. Maybe it was not because of
her own reasons; maybe it was because of Zed's apathetic face.
While she thought about it, the photographer went towards her.
She thought that the photographer would go straight to talk with Zed. Unexpectedly, he came to her,
crouched and called her politely, "Mrs. Qi."
"Ahmm, yes?"
"I would like to suggest. Please be more cheerful when you we take photos of you with Mr. Qi later.
Please don't keep a bland face. Hold his hands very intuitively. You should look very sweet. Then, just
pose as what I've instructed you. What you should do is just be happy and sweet."
