“Is there any other artist from Xinghai that hasn’t come to audition?” Li Lidong turned towards Xu Yixue and asked.

“Xiao Ning, go to my office and bring the clothes and jewelry I bought on Champs-Elysées Street in Paris last time to the photo studio,” Xu Yixue ordered, turning her head to Ye Xiaoning.

“Okay, President Xu,” Ye Xiaoning nodded and turned to leave the reception room.

Last time in Paris, the capital of fashion, Xu Yixue had indeed purchased several of the latest fashion ensembles.

“President Xu, just changing clothes won’t alter one’s temperament. If you are thinking about having Xu Xinxin change and audition again, I think we should forget it,” Li Lidong said to Xu Yixue, looking disappointed.

“Director Li, rest assured, I will surely give you a satisfactory answer this time. Let’s meet in the studio in five minutes,” Xu Yixue said to Li Lidong with a mysterious smile, walking out in her high heels with an elegant sway.

Li Lidong and Cao Yuqin were left behind, confused, exchanging glances, both at a complete loss.

“Vice President Cao, could it be that Xinghai Media still has an ace up its sleeve?” Li Lidong eagerly asked Cao Yuqin, as the two obviously knew each other from before.

“Impossible, there is no artist at Xinghai Media that I, Cao Yuqin, do not know of, absolutely none that I’m unaware of,” Cao Yuqin stated categorically. Actually, she didn’t know what Xu Yixue was planning either. However, since Xu Yixue had returned from abroad and had hardly interacted with domestic A-list celebrities, finding external support on such short notice would be very difficult.

“Well, I really want to see what other cards you at Xinghai Media have to play.” Li Lidong shook the fat on his belly and settled back comfortably into his chair.

Five minutes passed in a flash.

When the time came, Li Lidong and Cao Yuqin walked together towards the photo studio of Xinghai Media.

Meanwhile, inside the dressing room of the studio, Xu Yixue was slipping into a fashionable blue and white striped dress with the help of Ye Xiaoning.

This dress had been featured on the runway during the Paris Fashion Week, worn by an international top model on the red carpet. Xu Yixue, who was in the audience at the time, had taken a great liking to it and had invited a master Parisian tailor to make an identical one for her.

“Sister Yixue, you look so beautiful,” Ye Xiaoning admired as she looked at Xu Yixue in the dress, her eyes shining with admiration. Xu Yixue’s tall figure was perfectly suited for such a dress. Now that she had put on the dress, she looked even more youthful and stunning than the models on the catwalk, making Ye Xiaoning, who was a woman herself, envious.

“Good, just in time. Let’s go out,” Xu Yixue said, flipping her long hair, and slowly walked out of the makeup room.

Li Lidong and Cao Yuqin had just arrived at the photo studio at this moment.

“Wow!”

As soon as Xu Yixue came out, Li Lidong’s gaze was instantly captivated by her.

The well-tailored dress was elegant yet casual, and it fit Xu Yixue’s slender figure to perfection. A pair of long, white jade legs stood pertly under the hem of the dress, without a trace of excess flesh, looking like a work of art.

Around Xu Yixue’s snow-white neck hung a leaf-shaped necklace, enhancing the swan-like grace of her slender and delicate neck, and adding an extra touch of enchanting charm.

“Isn’t that the latest model from the Paris Fashion Week? Could that necklace be the Rose Leaf Platinum Necklace personally crafted by the French artisan Orlando? Wow, perfect, it’s absolutely perfect! Genius design, marvelous pairing, just too perfect.”

As the editor-in-chief of “Beauty” magazine, Li Lidong had a well-known ear for the fashion industry. The moment he saw Xu Yixue’s styling, his mind emptied of all other thoughts.

At this moment, in his brain, there was only one sentence, “This is the fashion goddess!”

If Xu Yixue were to walk on the street now, she would definitely capture ninety-nine percent of the eyes on her.

Li Lidong had already started to frantically think, if they had Xu Yixue on the cover of this issue of the magazine, by how much would the sales of “Beauty” magazine increase? One hundred percent, or two hundred percent?

“Director Li, do you think we can start the shoot now?” Xu Yixue asked softly with a slight smile, like a bud waiting to bloom, turning to Li Lidong.

“Lighting! Photographer! Stage crew! Prepare the equipment, prepare for shooting, quick, quick, quick!” Li Lidong shouted.

At this moment, he just thought the staff were moving too slowly.

“President Xu, it’s not good for you to appear in front of the camera personally,” Cao Yuqin’s face stretched long; Xu Yixue’s counterattack had shattered all her little schemes beautifully.

“Vice President Cao, if you don’t understand art, don’t wave your hands around, please leave immediately!” Li Lidong had gone a bit mad, and now his only thought was to capture Xu Yixue’s current beauty, record it, and then feature it on the front page of “Beauty” magazine.

He had already forgotten everything else.

“You… you… you…” Cao Yuqin hesitated for a long time, stamped her foot in anger, turned on her high heels, and slammed the door behind her.

At that moment, the staff members had already adjusted all the equipment properly.

The bright photography lights turned on, the photographer pushed the huge camera into position, the lighting technician moved the lights, slowly focusing them on Xu Yixue.

A breeze from the fan blew gently, lightly lifting Xu Yixue’s hair and the hem of her dress.

The group of staff members, seeing Xu Yixue’s goddess-like styling, suddenly became statues.

“Damn it! What are you dawdling for, shoot! Shoot! ~ This is the real ‘Fashion Beauty’!” Li Lidong, oblivious to his wholehearted involvement in the work state, cursed at the slow-moving staff members.

The crew immediately threw themselves into the intense photo shoot with dexterity and speed.

Xu Yixue tried on all five sets of clothes she had purchased from Champs-Elysées Street in Paris and took no less than several hundred photos, so tired she could barely stand straight, as the shoot neared its end.

The surrounding staff members were also busily and spiritedly on their toes. With President Xu personally on set today, how could they dare not give their all? Everyone exerted their utmost effort, determined to make this shoot perfect.

After nearly three hours, Li Lidong reluctantly announced the end of the shoot, which was simply the most gratifying shoot he had ever had since working in the media industry.

Beauty is justice, and charisma is worth its weight in gold. Xu Yixue possessed both beauty and charisma, and both were of the highest standard.

Li Lidong couldn’t help but speculate whether this shoot would help him win this year’s Best Magazine Award.
