Mo Yurou would have never imagined the fate ahead of her. From her position in front of Tangning, there was no way she could see Tangning's expression, plus, she was overly confident (she thought she was comparable to Huo Jing Jing) so...upon hearing the photographer and his staff clapping and cheering, she actually thought it was for her. After all, Tangning was behind her and she was blocking her...
"OK, let's shoot the next set!"
Because of their clothes, Tangning mostly ended up standing behind Mo Yurou. Even when they stood side by side, Mo Yurou always led.
This made Mo Yurou quite proud...
After the final set of photos were done, the photographers once again couldn't help but applaud Tangning's amazing performance. Mo Yurou acted like a supermodel as she stood in front of Tangning accepting all the cheers for herself. Eventually, Mo Yurou left the studio first, giving the photographer a chance to approach Tangning, "That model is so annoying, however...I won't point it out. Once the magazines front cover is released and everyone sees the comparison between you two, she will experience a big slap to her face. There will be plenty of people helping you to teach her a lesson." The photographer was indeed a senior in the industry, stuff like this was not unusual to him.
"Thank you," Tangning smiled.
"No need. You were really the most skilled model I have ever worked with. I can't deny, you are on the same level as Western models." The photographer raised his thumb at her, "The weekly publication will be released next Wednesday. Look forward to it...you will definitely ignite the Oriental Trend."
"That's not something I can decide, all I did was give my best," Tangning felt that the industry was not short of hardworking people; there were so many artists with talent and skills, but many only got halfway to fame - apart from hard work, luck was an important factor.
When she returned to the waiting room, Mo Yurou jumped right into Han Yufan's embrace as she recounted how she had received an applause. After listening to her, Han Yufan wrapped his arm around her waist - he knew she would succeed. However, he had no idea, the applause had nothing to do with Mo Yurou.
At this time, Tangning also entered the room. Upon seeing her, the staff that was tidying the studio raised his thumb at her, "You are really the best model I've ever seen."
Mo Yurou didn't understand what he was saying -after all her English was limited - but...
Han Yufan understood he was praising Tangning. Most importantly, the staff knew Mo Yurou didn't understand English. So assuming Han Yufan also did not understand, he looked at Mo Yurou in extreme disgust and said, "I really can't believe that woman is your colleague. She can't possibly be called a model, she has no professional skills at all and views herself too highly. It's bad enough that she doesn't understand English, she even thought we were all praising her. There's something wrong with her."
After speaking, the staff left. Tangning turned to look at Han Yufan's expression as the corners of her lips slightly curved up.
"Yurou, are you sure the photographer praised you?"
"Yufan, don't you believe me?" Mo Yurou nodded her head in certainty, "What I said was all real. If you don't believe then go ask the photographer. Yufan, have trust in me, this time, I am definitely going to revive Secret..."
Han Yufan stared at Tangning's back; his mind couldn't stop thinking about what he just heard the staff say. His heart felt uneasy, but the front cover had already been shot. Even if Mo Yurou didn't stand out, at least she still appeared in an international magazine - this would still be beneficial towards the Top Ten Model Awards.
Originally, the discussion about the shoot had already ended, but Long Jie entered the room ecstatically and said excitedly to Tangning, "Tangning, do you know what I just heard? The photographer said in the solo shoot, Mo Yurou looked like a...temptress." Upon hearing her, Mo Yurou wiggled out of Han Yufan's embrace and walked over to Long Jie. She raised her hand with the intention to hit her, luckily, Tangning's reaction was quick as she pulled Long Jie out of the way and grabbed onto Mo Yurou's wrist, "What do you think you're doing?"
"If you have the guts, tell her to repeat what she just said," Mo Yurou said threateningly as she shook her hand loose from Tangning's grip and pointed at Long Jie with a sneer, "Tangning, don't be a sore loser. I know you aren't satisfied with having to stand in the background today, but you were wearing black, so there was no choice."
