Chapter 358 Before the Magazine Is Published
Jiang Mubai heard the two of them whispering and was curious about what they were talking about, "What are you doing?"
Manman saw that since Jiang Mubai had asked, she had nothing to hide.
"The lady boss of the Chinese restaurant just now confiscated our meal money. Wu You and I couldn't argue with her. This dinner was like she treated us to a meal. Wu You and I didn't spend a penny."
"Yes, the boss lady asked us to take care of her business next time, so we were just discussing whether to treat you to another meal."
"Why didn't you say anything when you were at the door just now? Teacher Cheng and I could have helped you persuade her. The four of us can always get her to accept the money."
"She has already walked us to the door. I feel like I am being disrespectful to her if I continue to refuse. I also know that this is bad for your reputation and that of Teacher Cheng. I promise I won't do this again next time."
"I don't blame you guys. I simply think it's not easy for her to be alone in a foreign country, so I don't have the heart to take advantage of her. Next time we pass by here, you can bring her something, or if we want to eat Chinese food, we can patronize her restaurant again."
"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Mu Bai. What do you want to eat next? Wu You and I will book a restaurant for you tomorrow. We promised to treat you to a meal to celebrate, so we can't let us not spend a penny."
"Why are you two still treating me and Mu Bai like this? It's too polite to keep fussing about these things. If you keep talking like this, be careful that your sister Mu Bai will really get angry with you."
Wu You and Manman were frightened by what Cheng Yunchuan said, and they immediately became cautious.
Jiang Mubai was amused by the two of them, "How could I really be angry with you? I know you care about these things and I feel embarrassed to let you down. Otherwise, why don't you take us to the dessert shop you often patronize tomorrow?"
"Okay, they are all curious about who my boss is! I told them that Sister Mu Bai is very beautiful, but they didn't believe me. Let's show them tomorrow."
Manman couldn't help but sigh after hearing this, "Is this how you promote your sister Mu Bai outside? Don't you know that foreigners' aesthetic standards are different from ours? People might think you are prettier than your sister Mu Bai."
"No way. Even if our aesthetics are different, we can still have a high degree of unity in our understanding of beauty."
Jiang Mubai couldn't bear to see Wu You worrying so much that he couldn't sleep at night. "It's okay. Your sister Mubai is so beautiful. I am very confident in my appearance. Let's go to the dessert shop tomorrow to make you proud."
"Okay, you must conquer them well."
After arriving at the hotel, Jiang Mubai kept her word and arranged massages for the four of them. After all, she was going out for a beauty contest tomorrow, and she didn't want to limp out and ruin her image.
After an hour's massage, the four people went back and took a nice bath. When they lay back on the bed, they felt that their fatigue had completely disappeared.
"That's great. Tomorrow will be another lively day."
The four of them fell into a deep sleep. Manman received a message from Assistant Liu Lin early in the morning, so during the breakfast break she showed the work on the magazine to Jiang Mubai and Cheng Yunchuan.
"Editor-in-Chief Liu sent me a message early this morning. I brought my computer with me today just so I can show you two the photos we took."
Manman had already seen it, so the computer screen was facing Jiang Mubai and the others. Wu You was curious about what the photo looked like, so he stood behind the two of them with a piece of bread and started to look at it together.
"So soon? I thought I would have to wait a few days before hearing from them."
"Not quickly. After all, they have been back home for several days. Their work efficiency is much higher than ours. Besides, this is just a published magazine for you to take a look. If you have any opinions, just mention it and I will negotiate with them. If there is no problem, they will publish the final version."
"I have no problem. Teacher Liu Lin has a good eye, and the photos they selected are very impressive. I am very satisfied with their skills."
"I have no problem with that either. The photos are so beautiful that I can't really find any fault with them. After all, they are professionals."
Wu You asked curiously from behind, "Which of these photos is the magazine going to choose as the cover? Did they tell you about this?"
"No, I didn't ask them. It's mainly because I think any of these photos can be used as the cover, so I asked this out of curiosity."
"I think it's the photo of them camping in the park. The green and colorful colors look very nice, and it also fits the word 'green' in their magazine. What do you think, Sister Mu Bai?"
"I think it was the photo they took while putting on makeup, and they processed it in black and white, which was quite effective."
"Black and white doesn't fit their theme. Sister Mu Bai can't just randomly choose a photo just because she likes it."
"It's not a random choice. Editor-in-Chief Liu has a lot of creative ideas. She might choose this cover as the cover. 'Green Ribbon' has always used green as the main color for the cover. Maybe they want to change it this time."
"I think they will change, but they may also keep some of the magazine's style, such as adding some green to something in the black and white photo. This way the photo will fit the magazine's tone and be innovative."
"Sister Mu Bai, this is a good idea. Just thinking about it in my mind, I feel that this photo is very distinctive and recognizable. And looking at so many colorful photos, this is the only one that is black and white. Maybe Editor Liu will really do what you think, Sister Mu Bai."
"Manman, you can reply to them and tell them that we are satisfied and let them do what they want."
"Okay, I'll go tell you now."
Manman left the dining table with her phone. Wu You continued looking at photos on the computer. She slid the mouse and it automatically jumped to the next photo.
"Why are there still photos? We don't seem to have seen these before. What's going on?"
Jiang Mubai took the computer and looked at the file name and knew what was going on. "These are the photos that Editor Liu took for us to use as a photo album. I didn't expect them to prepare all of these. I really should tell Manman so that she can thank us for these as well."
Manman came back after finishing her phone call. "I was the one who looked through all the photos this morning, so how could I not notice these photos for the photo shoot? Don't worry, I thanked them on the phone just now, and I also told them about your idea, Mubai."
"This is also a way of thinking. It depends on whether they like it or not. After they see that there is no problem with our side, the magazine will be published tomorrow. I was planning to ask my friends in the studio to help grab the basic ones, but after hearing about it, Teacher Liu gave it to us directly."
