YM778.TV Chapter 166: New Member
Sun Weiwei immediately put her serious expression back on as soon as they got back on topic, “Liu Man told me that you know how to film, and you are willing to become the videographer in ‘Happy Guo Guo’.”
“Yes, yes. I have a dream of becoming a director, and I usually like to film and photograph random things with my phone, edit them, and post them onto my own Wei Bo account. Although there usually isn’t anyone who actually sees my work, the videos I filmed for Man and Daylight have already received more than a hundred thousand likes.”
Sun Weiwei had already watched these videos, so she was confident about Tao Zhiyao’s skills as a videographer, “You said you film with your phone? Don’t you have a camera?”
“No, but my phone has a high-quality camera,” Tao Zhiyao shows them her phone. Sun Weiwei recalled that this phone brand seemed to sell this specific kind of phone for 20k RMB.
But no matter how expensive one’s phone was, it would never be better than a professional camera. Tao Zhiyao read Sun Weiwei’s thoughts and smiled, “So you guys require a professional camera. Well, that’s easy. I will buy one right now.”
Tao Zhiyao preferred actions over words and opened Tao Bao. After a minute, a 4K high-quality slow-motion professional camera worth 100,000 RMB was already in transit.
Sun Weiwei smiled awkwardly, “To be honest, you don’t have to buy such an expensive camera.”
Peach didn’t take her words seriously, “It’s not that expensive.”
Sun Weiwei was speechless and glanced at Liu Man.
Liu Man switched to a different topic, “Sis Peach, you are almost graduating. Are you going to continue your studies?”
“I’m not interested in studying anymore, and finding a job is too tiring. I hate it when the human resources officers get to command me arrogantly in interviews, but I’ve never been to many interviews anyway. My temporary decision is to stay with my family and have them support my daily expenses.”
Tao Zhiyao said this as if this was very normal and reasonable.
Liu Man: “…”
Sun Weiwei: “…”
“Then you should be the perfect one for this part-time job,” Liu Man said.
“I think so, too.”
The three girls got to the same opinion immediately.
Their next task was to convince He Qisi to accept Jiang Chengfeng and Tao Zhiyao as their two newest members. Sun Weiwei immediately called He Qisi and told him to come to Starbucks.
He Qisi said he would be there right away.
Neither Sun Weiwei nor Liu Man expected Zhang Jiaojiao to be with him when they arrived.
He Qisi glanced at Sun Weiwei and explained, “I picked up your call and met Jiaojiao on the way coincidentally. Jiaojiao heard that you found a videographer, so she wanted to come with me too.”
Still, a hint of skepticism flashed through Sun Weiwei’s mind. She was an extremely smart girl and was good at analyzing and inferring.
Today was a Saturday. Even if He Qisi and Zhang Jiaojiao were in the same class, how did they “coincidentally” meet each other on the way and at such a timing? The boys’ dorm and girls’ dorm were far away from each other.
Liu Man thought of this, too.
And Zhang Jiaojiao’s expression was even more undisguised whenever she looked at He Qisi as if she was afraid people didn’t know she liked He Qisi.
What was even more interesting was:
When Sun Weiwei introduced He Qisi to Tao Zhiyao, who was pretending to be a daughter of a rich family, He Qisi’s small eyes immediately widened and turned extremely bright.
“I didn’t expect the videographer you described is a girl,” He Qisi had a big grin. He looked as if he was pretty satisfied with Tao Zhiyao.
Sun Weiwei also wanted to briefly introduce Tao Zhiyao’s abilities, but He Qisi said, “No need to say more. I think she has no problem and is quite suitable, and she is qualified for this job.”
Liu Man frowned slightly; she felt a little disgusted with He Qisi for some reason.
Before He Qisi came, Sun Weiwei mentioned it to Liu Man and asked her to persuade He Qisi to accept Jiang Chengfeng.
So Liu Man said to He Qisi, “Can Jiang Chengfeng be responsible for the technology and the editing role in the team? I think Jiang Chengfeng is competent.”
He Qisi didn’t like Jiang Chengfeng, and he was not willing to let Jiang Chengfeng join the “Happy Guo Guo”, but this was a request made by the Hanfu Goddess herself, so it was difficult for him to refuse.
He could only reluctantly reply, “Yes.”
Zhang Jiaojiao was very interested in Tao Zhiyao’s attire and purse, which were all from famous brands. She asked Tao Zhiyao, “Is your purse real?”
Tao Zhiyao snorted, “I’ve never used a fake purse in my entire life.”
The rich girl could be this arrogant!
“Wow, then your family must be really rich,” Zhang Jiaojiao exclaimed.
He Qisi tried to dig deeper, “What do your parents do for a living?”
Tao Zhiyao hated this type of question and ambiguously replied,
“They have a small business.”
On the weekends, Jiang Chengfeng, who had nothing to do, was playing video games in his dorms when he suddenly received a call from Liu Man, inviting him to join the “Happy Guo Guo” team.
Jiang Chengfeng practically floated over to the meeting site. His brain was feeling very messy. He couldn’t understand how he suddenly became a member of “Happy Guo Guo”; it felt like such a random miracle!
The new “Happy Guo Guo” team gathered together for the first time.
Excluding He Qisi, Sun Weiwei, Zhang Jiaojiao, and Chen Han, Tao Zhiyao and Jiang Chengfeng were also there. Of course, Liu Man was included, too.
Everyone introduced themselves to each other.
Chen Han smiled, “I didn’t expect our team to be able to invite a senior from Jinghua University.”
Tao Zhiyao was just about to graduate from her fourth year of college; she was the oldest out of them all.
“Please don’t call me an upperclassman. You can call me Peach though, thank you!”
Jiang Chengfeng felt very strange. Tao Zhiyao gave him a sense of familiarity, but he had never met her before. He was just a poor loser, so he couldn’t have known a Bai Fu Mei.
Tao Zhiyao also felt Jiang Chengfeng was very familiar. They stared at each other for such a while, examining each other from head to toe. Suddenly, as if realizing something, they pointed at each other and burst into laughter.
Otaku Boy and Peach is a fairy had long added each other on WeChat. This was the first time they met in real life, and their eyes were filled with curiosity and familiarity.
He Qisi said, “Peach had already purchased a 4K HD professional camera, so we will no longer have to worry about having no equipment.”
Chen Han was surprised. All 4K HD entry-level cameras were very expensive, not to mention the professional levels. Where did He Qisi find such a rich girl?
“We have stopped updating ‘Shi-Senpai’ for a week. If we stop it for another week, ‘Happy Guo Guo’ will probably lose fans. So I want to take the time to shoot the 11th episode when everyone is free tomorrow because it will be a Sunday. It just so happens that the two new members will be able to get familiar with their respective job responsibilities. Do you have any objections?”
Everybody all said that there wasn’t a problem.
Sun Weiwei said, “But I haven’t even finished writing the script for the 11th episode.”
“That’s not an issue. We don’t need lines for the 11th episode because we can just have Liu Man play the Guqin.”
Tao Zhiyao, Jiang Chengfeng, and Sun Weiwei looked toward Liu Man’s hand at the same time, frowning.
