Beauty complex 顏狗 [English Translation]

Chapter 13

Jiang Bailu was arranging the photos taken in college at home, but there were not many of his own photos, they were mostly photos of his ex-boyfriend, so he was dissatisfied with the album. He had to suspect that maybe even the photos in the other person's hands were not as good as the ones he threw out.

In the end he threw his ex-boyfriend's photo album into the locker under the bookcase and locked it, and then called Qin Xingyi to inquire about Ceng Ge. He wanted to go directly to Ceng Ge, he called him twice, but the person who answered the phone was Ceng Ge's assistant.

Qin Xingyi told him on the other end of the phone, "I heard from Yu Junlin that he went abroad this week. However," he paused, "he should be back before Song Tang's birthday party next week."

Jiang Bailu: "Song Tang's birthday party?"

Qin Xingyi : "he also sent an invitation to you, and asked Yu Junlin to send it to me."

Jiang Bailu: "When?"

Qin Xingyi : "next Wednesday. Are you going to come?"

"Of course I will come." Jiang Bailu said happily, "Why not?"

"Okay, you can come with me next week. I'll ask Yu Junlin to prepare an extra gift." Qin Xingyi thought for a while, and then asked, "Are you looking for a job? Are you going to help in your father's company, or find another one?"

Jiang Bailu said in a casual tone, "I didn't study business administration, and I don't know anything about the stuff in the company. Besides, my father is still middle-aged and strong and doesn't need my help at all. I'm not in a hurry to find a job."

In fact, there is no hurry to find a job. It's not uncommon to find a young man like him in Siku City who is still idle in his twenties and from a well-off family. So, even if he doesn't look for a job, and invites his friends to go out to drink and party all day, he won't effect his family.

With a calm expression on his face, after hanging up the phone, he went online to submit his resume to several larger publishing companies. When he went abroad at the age of 18, his grades were not very good, and President Jiang did not burden him, so he chose a more relaxed photography major.

After getting it, Jiang Bailu was mocked all day long by his ex-boyfriend who threw thousands of knives at him with his words, saying that he was a fool and idle. Jiang Bailu was not convinced, grabbed the expensive SLR and smashed it on his ex-boyfriend. However his ex-boyfriend didn't stop there and said he's an eldest young master who doesn't know what hardships are. After that he walked around with his camera hanging all day long and photographed those beautiful students in the school. In his heart he said what do you know about those reporters and photographers who go in the middle of the war disregarding their safety that's always on the edge of life and death every day?

At that time Jiang Belu did not say anything, got up from bed in the middle of the night, aggressively packed his school bag  aggressively, bought a plane ticket to Syria without saying goodbye, and took a taxi to the airport. In the middle of the night, when his ex-boyfriend came back from the night shift at the bar...

He stopped his memories and hung his eyes and laughed. He don't know if he laughing at his youth and arrogance back then, or at the other party's frantic look when he learned the truth on the phone.

After a long time, he came back to his senses and snorted coldly at the photo of his ex-boyfriend in the DSLR.

On the night of Song Tang's birthday, Yu Junlin drove him and Qin Xingyi to the Song's house. The outer courtyard is full of extravagant cars and BMWs. In the inner courtyard, investors, actors, and actresses were chatting and laughing, there was surging ambiguous around the place. The banquet hall in the main house was brightly lit, with transparent champagne glasses stacked in a small pyramid shape in the center of the banquet hall, and a gorgeous birthday cake on the main table.
