Proud senior schoolgirl was tender and sweet, we fell in love

Lin Yu's classes were indeed very full on a normal basis, and he barely had any free time because of his research project.

He had gotten used to this because, after all, he never needed much free time before.

But now that Liu Ou was here, Lin Yu felt that this busy lifestyle might not be so good anymore.

However, Liu Ou comforted him saying it didn't matter, since she was also busy starting her internship; as a newcomer, no matter the time or industry, she had the most to learn.

Generally speaking, this process is indeed the most difficult.

There can be a significant psychological gap, as you might find that although you were one of the top students in school, at the new workplace, you feel more like a dogsbody.

The knowledge you gained from school is of limited use.

But the good thing is, Liu Ou has always been steady and mature in her disposition.

It's not that she doesn't feel any psychological gap, but she can accept it.

Of course, it would be better if there were no one in the studio acting all high and mighty...

At first, Liu Ou thought everyone was pretty nice, even if some photographers were very strict at work, but that was normal.

After all, everyone has their own habits when creating their work, and what's wrong with being strict? It's perfectly normal.

But after working for a couple of days, she quickly realized that an assistant photographer in the studio seemed to have an issue with her, or perhaps just didn't take to her for some reason.

Liu Ou's current job was as a junior assistant, not specifically tied to any particular photographer, which basically meant running errands.

She was needed to help wherever she was called upon in the studio.

But generally, the division of labor in such photography studios was quite clear, and people usually didn't seek out Liu Ou.

Liu Ou mostly followed the studio's lead photographer, An Ji.

You could tell that An Ji was quite satisfied with Liu Ou.

The young girl looked delicate and petite but never complained about anything she was asked to do.

And she always completed her tasks neatly and nicely.

When she wasn't busy, she would stand aside quietly, watching and learning earnestly.

However, another photographer's assistant, Jian Yaoyao, for some reason, liked to send Liu Ou to do unnecessary tasks.

At first, Liu Ou thought she was just being helpful, and she would do whatever was asked.

But the requests from Jian Yaoyao started to get excessive.

She began assigning her own work to Liu Ou.

Liu Ou felt that this was wrong, as Jian Yaoyao was the exclusive assistant to the photographer Tian Ye and should be familiar with the shooting themes, making it more appropriate for her to arrange and prepare.

But Jian Yaoyao just tossed the shooting theme file to Liu Ou and left saying, "I've got something on tonight, so I'm leaving early."

Without waiting for Liu Ou to respond, she turned and left.

Liu Ou frowned, walked to the window, and looked down to see Jian Yaoyao linking arms with a girl who was waiting for her downstairs.

It was Fang Miao.

A couple of days ago, at noon, Liu Ou had realized that Jian Yaoyao and Fang Miao knew each other.

That seemed to be the reason she was making things difficult for Liu Ou.

Liu Ou was somewhat speechless.

And somewhat amused; they probably didn't understand her very well.

Today being Friday, Liu Ou gave Lin Yu a call to say she had to work late.

She would be home later than usual.

As it turned out, Lin Yu also had to be in the lab that evening, so they agreed that he would pick her up after he finished.

Liu Ou laughed and agreed.

She wasn't in a rush to get busy, so she ordered takeout and reviewed the theme planning, already having a pretty good idea in her mind.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

But when she started to get busy after finishing her meal, she began frequently calling Jian Yaoyao for details.

She had to ask about everything that was the main focus.

Sure enough, Jian Yaoyao soon became impatient and disdainful, "Can't you understand it yourself? How did you even get to work here if you don't know anything? Stop calling me!"

With an innocent expression, Liu Ou replied, "But Jian Assistant, this was assigned to you by Teacher Tian Ye, it should be more familiar to you. Suddenly asking me to take over, how am I supposed to..."

"Aren't you an assistant? Why can't I delegate tasks to you? It's true Teacher Tian Ye asked me, but didn't I pass it on to you? Stop calling!"

With that, she hung up the phone.

Liu Ou, looking at the recording, felt that Jian Yaoyao was actually quite patient since it took over a dozen calls for her to lose her temper.

There were other people in the studio at the time, and when a makeup artist came out, she was surprised, "Hai Ou, why haven't you gone back yet?"

Liu Ou smiled a little, "Jian Assistant asked me to prepare for tomorrow's photoshoot theme,"

The makeup artist frowned, "Isn't that Teacher Tian Ye's shoot? She's the assistant, she should be doing it, what's this about dumping it on you?"

Although she spoke like this, the makeup artist just complained a bit and then left.

That's how the workplace is, people won't take sides with a newcomer who isn't well known and might not stay, over a colleague who has been there longer.

Fortunately, Liu Ou didn't really see any issue with it.

She nearly finished preparing everything and noticed that it was almost 9:30.

She took out her phone and called Teacher Tian Ye.

After ringing for a while, the call was answered, "Hello?"

Liu Ou said politely, "Good evening, Teacher Tian Ye, sorry to disturb you. It's about tomorrow's photoshoot theme, the latter theme is noted as 'pink'. Could I ask to what extent this 'pink' should be?"

Silence from Tian Ye's side for a moment, then finally a slow response, "You should be asking Jian Yaoyao about this."

Liu Ou's heart sank; it seemed that Teacher Tian Ye was quite fond of Jian Yaoyao, and this call probably didn't achieve what she had hoped for.

She laughed sheepishly, "I'm sorry, Teacher Tian Ye, but Jian Assistant asked me not to bother her earlier, and she didn't answer when I called back. So I called you because I might not be at the studio tomorrow, Saturday, and I wanted to get it as right as possible."

Tian Ye responded with a hum, "Use a pink of three degrees then."

"Thank you, Teacher Tian Ye." The call ended thereafter.

Liu Ou sighed; Jian Yaoyao could treat her that way probably because she knew Teacher Tian Ye liked her.

In the end, Liu Ou still prepared everything seriously.

If it was part of her job, she certainly intended to do it well.

There was no point in deliberately messing up to make things difficult for Jian Yaoyao.

Having Jian Yaoyao pass her work to Liu Ou was neglect.

But if Liu Ou didn't do well, that would be her own failure.

She was still an intern after all, and this definitely wouldn't do; she could end up not being able to stay.

As for Jian Yaoyao, if it didn't work out this time, there would always be a next time.

Liu Ou was never a pushover.

The corners of Liu Ou's lips curved up slightly, she finished her work in good spirits.

Looking at the clock, it was already past ten.

A message from Lin Yu had come through roughly 20 minutes earlier.

After packing up, Liu Ou clocked out and left the company.

Just as she reached the bottom of the stairs, she saw Lin Yu under the streetlight.
