Joy also emerged in Zhou Chen's eyes.
It was indeed worthy of being a person who studied photography. The casually taken photos were all imbued with artistry.
The second photo showed the scene of the two embracing.
Tang Wan wrapped her arms around Zhou Chen and snuggled up in his arms, with her face just facing the wedding dress shop.
In the photo, there was a faint smile on the corners of Tang Wan's mouth, as if she was really enjoying the feeling of being hugged by Zhou Chen.
There were four photos in total, but only two scenes.
Lu Qing smiled awkwardly and said, "I took these snapshots of you without your permission. I hope you don't mind..."
Tang Wan shook her head repeatedly, saying, "No, not at all. You took such great photos!"
How could she have any objections when such wonderful photos were taken?
Moreover, these two photos had recorded the beautiful moments between herself and Zhou Chen and were quite worthy of being collected.
Zhou Chen praised, "Your photography skills are really good. Later, Tang Wan and I are going to Acacia Island. I'd like to invite you to take several groups of photos for us!"
Tang Wan gave Zhou Chen a surprised look. His idea coincided with hers.
When she saw those photos on the photo wall just now, she had already had this idea.
Lu Qing hesitated and said, "My charges are a bit high!"
Zhou Chen asked, "How high?"
Lu Qing stretched out his five distinctively jointed fingers and said, "Five hundred yuan, and you'll pay for the transportation!"
"So expensive?"
Tang Wan slightly furrowed her willowy eyebrows and tugged at Zhou Chen's clothes, saying, "Maybe we should forget it. The photographers from other photo studios charge only about two hundred yuan for following shots!"
"Five hundred is fine!"
Zhou Chen readily agreed.
Although mobile phones nowadays had a photography function, they only had a resolution of 300,000 pixels, and the picture quality of the photos taken was quite blurry.
Spending five hundred yuan to capture the beautiful scenes of his date with Tang Wan was not a bad deal.
Actually, Lu Qing didn't really want to go out for the follow-up shooting, so he deliberately raised the price. Seeing that Zhou Chen agreed so readily, he smiled helplessly and said, "Then wait for me a moment. I'll get my things ready and then we'll set off..."
After saying that, he got up to pack his equipment.
Tang Wan pouted and said, "His charges are really expensive. Are you stupid?"
Zhou Chen grabbed Tang Wan's small hand and said, "These are our wonderful memories and can't be measured by money!"
Tang Wan was a bit charmed. She stared into Zhou Chen's deep eyes, pursed her thin lips, and nodded, saying, "Then... then I'll do as you say!"
Subsequently, she took out her mobile phone and took pictures of the photos on the table, giggling as she said, "Last night Huang Qiqi showed me a lot of her affectionate moments. It's my turn today!"
Zhou Chen took advantage of this time to take out his mobile phone and edit a text message to send to Wang Liqun.
[Mr. Wang, when is Wanwan's birthday?]
He had originally planned to confess his love to Tang Wan today.
If he sent text messages to Wu Qiang and Chen Kai now, there should be enough time to set up the scene.
However, he then thought that even if he confessed his love to Tang Wan, he still couldn't be with her for the time being.
So he decided to wait until Tang Wan's eighteenth birthday to confess his love to her.
And he would do it at school.
He wanted everyone in Jiangzhou University to know that Tang Wan was his girlfriend.
Reborn in this life, of course he would love with great passion.
Wang Liqun replied to the message: [The ninth day of the eleventh lunar month. If you want to celebrate her birthday, I advise you to abandon this idea. Her coming-of-age ceremony will be held grandly in Jiangzhou!]
Zhou Chen replied: [OK, thank you, Mr. Wang!]
Wang Liqun sent another message: [I have established HSBC Fisheries and currently plan to invest one billion yuan. You hold 20% of the shares!]
[I don't need so many shares. I may only invest 50 million yuan!]
Zhou Chen didn't have much money to invest. After planning to invest in the fishery, he would only have about 76 million yuan left. Later, he used 55 million yuan to acquire the Xiongxin Factory. The Xiongxin Factory would immediately need an investment of 50 million yuan for research and development expenses, and this money probably wouldn't last long. So he planned to transfer 50 million yuan from the investment in the fishery.
Wang Liqun was stunned for a moment and then replied: [It doesn't matter. No matter how much money you invest, we will give you 20% of the shares!]
There was another thing he didn't say. The prerequisite was that this year's cold wave would really be like what Zhou Chen had predicted, affecting the entire southern fishery industry.
After all, this was a huge investment, and the three investors had almost staked their entire fortunes.
[Well, okay. When my capital turns over, I'll invest another 50 million yuan!]
Zhou Chen was deeply touched inside. Wang Liqun was a friend well worth making. He must have retained Zhou Chen's 20% of the shares under the pressure of the two other investors.
"Guys, we can set off now!"
At this moment, Lu Qing had already packed up his equipment. He was carrying a backpack and had a digital single-lens reflex camera hanging around his neck.
Zhou Chen led the two of them to the place where Qi Yunfeng had parked the car.
Lu Qing got into the front passenger seat quite consciously.
Zhou Chen opened the car door and said very gentlemanly, "Princess, please get in the car..."
Tang Wan, who already had a slight social phobia, naturally couldn't relax in the presence of outsiders. Her oval-shaped, fair and pretty face instantly turned red. She glared at Zhou Chen in embarrassment and annoyance before getting into the car.
Zhou Chen sat in the car with a smile and said, "To Acacia Island..."
Only after getting into the car did Tang Wan notice that the driver looked somewhat familiar. She couldn't help asking, "Zhou Chen, is this driver brother now driving an unlicensed taxi?"
Qi Yunfeng mimicked her tone and said, "I'm now the chauffeur of your boyfriend!"
Hearing this, Tang Wan's eyes widened as she stared at Zhou Chen and asked, "He isn't joking, is he?"
Zhou Chen shook his head. "No, he's really my chauffeur now!"
Tang Wan had probably guessed the source of Zhou Chen's money and asked, "How much did you sell that painting for?"
Zhou Chen grinned and said, "Over eight million yuan!"
Tang Wan was silent again, her small face full of shock. "No wonder you're so generous. You didn't even blink an eye at five hundred yuan!"
Zhou Chen reached out and pulled Tang Wan into his arms, looking down and chuckling. "So you don't need to start a business to make money. I can support you!"
Tang Wan's delicate body stiffened as she lowered her eyelids and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzzing, "Can you behave yourself outside? There are people around~"
"No..."
"..."
Acacia Island is on the outskirts of Jiangzhou.
And it's open to the public for free.
Many Jiangzhou residents will come to take a walk along Xianghe Road after work, or bring their girlfriends to Acacia Island to talk about love.
Today is Monday.
The students are in class and the working people are at work, so Xianghe Road isn't congested.
It takes half an hour to drive along Xianghe Road to reach the scenic spot.
Acacia Island is located in the middle of the Xiang River, and one can only reach the island by boat.
After getting off the car, Qi Yunfeng said, "I'll wait for you guys outside!"
Tang Wan said politely, "Since you're free anyway, why not come and take a walk with us..."
Qi Yunfeng lit a cigarette and walked silently towards the park outside.
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, then asked nervously and fearfully, "Zhou Chen, did... did I say something wrong?"
Zhou Chen gently squeezed Tang Wan's soft little hand and comforted her softly, "You didn't say anything wrong. Qi Yunfeng has his own story!"
Tang Wan immediately guessed that it must be something related to his feelings and just sighed slightly, saying, "Then I must have stimulated him. I'll go and apologize to him later!"
"No need. His psychological defenses aren't that fragile..."
Zhou Chen then led Tang Wan towards the entrance of the scenic spot.
