It was a two hours" flight to the main island, afterward; they needed to take the furry to head to the resort island for the photoshoot.
Whilst they were on the furry, Elizabeth was please seeing Liying on cloud nine. Considering she has counted her as her little sister for they don"t have such an age gap.
"You better get inside, it"s quite hot today. Li Zi get in, you might burn your skin." w.a.n.g Ji ordered as he handed a sun lotion to the Liying.
When they got inside, Liying applied sun lotion onto the girl"s skin. Although they have been together for quite sometimes already, Liying can"t help but be amazed at the girl"s skin. "Sis Li Zi, I beat your parents must be beautiful and handsome for you to turn out like a G.o.ddess."
Elizabeth chuckled hearing Liying"s remarks, in her mind she thought.
"They are certainly a G.o.ddess and a king. Both elegant and talent."
When they arrived at the resort port, it confused the three of them to see who was waiting for them.
"President Zhu, we didn"t expect you to be here." w.a.n.g Jin was dumbfounded as he became weary of the man in front of them.
"I came to support Miss Li Zi, I must give such a fine artist the best support." He said as he approached her with an eagle like eyes scanning every part of her body.
"President Zhu, Miss Li Zi needs a rest." Director Xia Tu approach from behind them.
The man frowned seeing how everyone was treating him, "Fine…" He then turned around and smiled brightly at the girl, "I"ll see you later."
When the man walked away with his secretary, Director Xia Tu then addressed them looking apologetic.
"Everyone, I"m sorry…" He sighed and added, "I didn"t expect he"ll come as well."
"Director Xia, no worries.." Elizabeth a.s.sured him.
"I"ll take you to your room then." He replied.
Elizabeth was provided a separate room while Liying and w.a.n.g Jin shared with the staff. Her room was located at the top floor near the presidential suites area. They informed her President Zhu arranged it for her.
After lunch, everyone gathers as they all head to the beach to shoot for the cover. For the staff, it was quite awkward since President Zhu was around, it disgusted them in how he continued to stare at the girl during the pictorial.
However, they were quite impressed when they saw how the girl handled the situation. She ignored President Zhu"s presence and continue with the shoot.
"Li Zi, well done… Let take a quick break." Shi Xun said who was the photographer for the pictorial.
Liying came running with a summer robe for the girl to cover her body, she then approached the team to check the photos.
"How is it?" She asked.
"Li Zi you were amazing, you sure know how to adjust your body well." Shi Xun praised her.
"Thank you Bro Shi," She replied as she continued to check the photos.
"Sis Li Zi, you looked very cute in this one." Liying pointed out the photo of her in a side view angle whilst holding onto her summer hat.
"She actually does."
"This photo is indeed very cute."
Everyone surrounding them agrees on such an innocent photo but very charming.
"Of coursse she"ll be cute."
A voice spoke which everyone did not wish to hear.
"President Zhu thank you."
"Miss Li Zi, here have a drink." He said as she handed her the bottle of water his secretary was holding.
"Thank you, President Zhu." Elizabeth forced a smile as she took a sip of the water.
"Then Miss Li Zi will be on our way, will see you all tonight for the party."
When the man disappeared from all there sight. Everyone started venting out their opinion.
"Miss Li Zi, please be careful. You aren"t like other models."
"Don"t let the pig get close to you, if possible avoid him."
Shi Xun sighed, "Li Zi take everyone"s advice and avoid him. There is always a lot of ways to succeed than approaching the old geezer."
Elizabeth did not expect such hatred towards President Zhu, who would have thought that most of the staff despise him especially the female staff.
"No worries everyone."
As they reached the ended of the photoshoot, Elizabeth started to feel a little dizzy. However, since they still needed to shoot for a sunset background, she dragged herself to finish.
"Sis Li Zi, are you alright?" Liying said notice her rosy complexion.
"I"m fine, I was just under the heat for too long." She replied despite she felt strange as well.
"Wait, here… I"ll make you your cuc.u.mber lemon juice." Liying rushed back to the resort.
When Liying came back with her juice, Liying was shocked when the girl drunk it in one go. She thought she must be really dehydrated.
"Li Zi, are you ready?" Shi Xun asked.
"Coming…"
Liying watched as the girl storms off toward Shi Xun, she notices she was sweating quite a bit despite it was already cooler. She did not ponder on it any longer and continued to observe the photoshoot.
"That"s it, well-done everyone." Shi Xun announced.
As everyone packed there stuff, Elizabeth went ahead to her room with Liying and took a cold shower.
"Sis Li Zi, are you alright? You"ve been in the shower for quite some time." Liying worriedly asked.
"I"m fine, I"ll meet you downstairs."
After another half an hour or so, she came down and headed to the back garden where the party that President Zhu prepared was. Not only was the staff there, but some investors and shareholders of the company were also present.
"President Zhu thank you for inviting us."
"President Zhu where is the star model you"ve been telling us."
"Everyone be patient she"ll be here soon."
It didn"t take long for President Zhu"s words to come true. The girl came dress in a Floral Slit Twist Maxi Dress up to her ankle. She paired it with rose pink wedge heels. Her hair was let loose as the wind blew it around, she did not wear any other accessories nor did she put any makeup on. Yet she was very alluring that evening.
President Zhu did not hesitate and escorted her towards the group of men. "Miss Li Zi this our the shareholders and investor."
"Pleasure to meet you all."
"Miss Li Zi you are indeed beautiful in real life."
"My wife has used Perfect since you became its amba.s.sador."
"President Zhu next month issue will surely be a hit."
It pleased President Zhu hearing such praised, he was so full of himself as he places his hands around the girl"s waist.
It startled Elizabeth by the man"s sudden gesture but she did not react and stayed calm, "Everyone if you excuse me, I need to look for my manager."
"Ah, go ahead."
"See you around Miss Li Zi."
The men spoke seeing the awkward gestured President Zhu just did. For some it was fine but for those who are loyal to their wives felt his motives were very inappropriate.
"Li Zi are you alright?" w.a.n.g Ji asked as he saw what happened.
"I"m fine, no need to fuss."
"Li Zi come, I"ve got you your food already," w.a.n.g Ji said as he escorted her to their table.
As the evening deepens, other guests visiting the resort also joined in. Some shareholders and investors decide to cash out their money as they brought out expensive wines and drinks. Shockingly most of those men weren"t ashamed to bring out the mistresses whom they brought along.
But it did not surprise some of them but shocked Elizabeth when the woman she saw at the airport appeared in front of her and was indeed a mistress.
Whilst the ladies were enjoying themselves. One of the women notice Elizabeth and started panicking. "Who is that?"
"Ah- that Li Zi, she the model for next month issue."
"But she more of an actress, plus she the amba.s.sador for Perfect."
When the woman found out who she was, she became infuriated at the sight of the girl. How can a mere actress hold such a prestige card? Whilst she was checking the atmosphere, she notices President Zhu looking admirably at the girl. She smiled as she thought of a perfect payback.
"Miss, this was a gift for you."
A server brought a gla.s.s of wine to her.
Elizabeth was surprised to see such an expensive drink, such a gla.s.s would cost thousands already. "Who did it came from?"
"Just an admirer."
Everyone saw what was going on as they started teasing her. She felt awkward if she rejects it, so she took the gla.s.s and did not hesitate as she drank it.
