Amy's eyes widened shock written all over her face. She abruptly stood up from her seat and pointed her finger at RuQian.
"Yo...you...how....how can you do this to someone? Being a girl you should know right from wrong. How can you even think of doing something so terrible to another person? You can not even be considered a human being. What was I thinking coming here? I thought you had changed but I guess I was wrong, you have gotten worse." Amy glared at RuQian, who was calmly sipping her tea, and turned to leave. RuQian slowly lifted her eyes.
"Don't you want to know how much money you can earn from just this one job?" RuQian calmly questioned her.
"Hah! I don't care about your stupid money." Amy started walking, wanting to leave.
"Two million yuan. It takes your parents, three... four years, to earn this? You can earn it with just a day's work. Think about it."
"You want me to do something so dirty just for the sake of money? How would you feel if someone put a camera in your bathroom? How can you do something like that to another woman? I can't believe I thought you had changed." Amy sneered.
"Good Amy. You pass!" Amy heard just as she turned.
"Huh?" Amy turned to look at RuQian.
"I just wanted to see how far you would go for money. Pardon my behaviour but you are a stranger to me. What if some day you were asked to put that same camera in my house? I need to protect myself first. Shouldn't I?" RuQian smirked at Amy. That was when Amy realized what had just happened. 'So this was a test?'
"Why don't you sit down? We should talk business now." RuQian gestured towards the chair Amy had occupied just a few seconds ago. Amy sat down in a daze.
"You mean, you were just testing me? So I don't have to put any cameras right?" Amy's face showed how disgusted she was to even think of such a thing.
RuQian chuckled slightly shaking her head, "No you don't have to do anything of that sort." Amy let out a breath, she did not know she was holding. "But I do want you to be my photographer."
Amy's eyes lit up, "What do you want me to do?"
"As I said earlier, I will be modelling for a company, so first I need you to help me take a few shots for my portfolio. If everything goes as planned, most importantly, if you are as good enough as I am hoping you would be, you will be able to shoot the advert yourself." RuQian gave Amy a soft smile.
Amy's eyes lit up when she heard RuQian, "I can shoot an advert? B....By...myself?" Amy stuttered.
"Provided you are good enough." RuQian said with a stern expression. "The portfolio is your second test."
Amy nodded her head willingly. "I will show you my skills, you will love my work."
"Then let's get going." RuQian stood up after leaving a few bills on the table to cover for their drinks and tip.
Amy's wide eyes stared at RuQian. "You want to shoot now? I did not bring my camera."
RuQian shook her head, "We need to select a location first. You do not have a studio yet and frankly I need a portfolio that will stand out and amaze everyone with just a glance. We would need a suitable location." Amy nodded her head and walked together with RuQian.
RuQian's driver opened the car for her politely, Amy was a little stunned, she did not know RuQian was rich but it looked like she was. Even the car was expensive. RuQian explained the concept of her shoot to Amy and she was thrilled. The concept sounded great, now she just hoped they could bring it to life.
RuQian and Amy searched a lot of different places. RuQian wanted different locations for each outfit she would wear. They searched for appropriate places and narrowed down to three spots. RuQian thought they could finalize after she bought her outfits.
RuQian and Amy were in the car heading towards Amy's house when RuQian remembered something.
"Amy, I want you to keep your identity hidden. What do you think about that?"
"Hidden? Why?"
"These days no one believes young people and moreover if you keep your identity hidden, it would give a mysterious air to you and more audience would be attracted to you and your work."
"That does seem like a nice idea."
"So?..." RuQian glanced at the contemplating Amy.
"Okay let's do it! Then what name should I use? Should I use a fake name?"
"What about Miss A?"
"Miss A... It sounds mysterious, let's use that. Qian Qian maybe you should become a businesswoman. You know how to easily sell stuff, even ideas...hehehe..." Amy had started calling her Qian Qian as they had spent that whole day together Amy felt closer to RuQian somehow.
RuQian was a very sophisticated girl and she was too mature for her age. She was calm and collected. She did not show a lot of expressions on her face but she never came off cold or detached. She did not talk a lot but when she did it would be on point. When she saw RuQian's mannerisms Amy thought of a woman and not a girl her age.
RuQian told Amy they would start their shoot in two days' time. RuQian still had to shop for her outfits and seeing as Amy had to prepare everything she needed for the shoot, they both decided two days time would be enough.
After dropping Amy off, RuQian placed a call to Lan Xie. She wanted Lan Xie to come along with her. As a to be fashion designer, Lan Xie's taste in clothes was impeccable. RuQian wanted to make use of her talent. Lan Xie suggested they also call Dan which RuQian readily accepted.
Slowly one of her plans was coming to fruition....
