Classes to teach photo editing? What a joke!

As Jin Xia listened to them, her delicate brows drew together, forming deep furrows between them.

"I'll find someone to give you professional training in photo and video editing. Our company will help you develop your entire image until our own app launches."

She spoke methodically, lifting her eyes to Xiao Ni-chan and the others.

Utterly astonished, Xiao Ni-chan stared at Jin Xia. "President Jin, did I hear you right? You said... we need someone to train us in photo and video editing?"

Laughter erupted all around. This was the first time they had heard of needing classes to learn photo editing!

Not only that, apparently even videos could be edited!

Jin Xia picked up her phone, deftly tapped the record button, then opened an app on her phone.

In front of everyone, she cast her phone's screen onto the large display.

The next second, Xiao Ni-chan shrieked. "President Jin, what are you doing? If these videos of me get leaked, my image will collapse and I won't have any fans left!"

"I'm not sharing them. I'm just using you as an example."

As Jin Xia spoke, she quickly pushed the face in the video inward and shifted it up and down, then used the slimming feature to touch up the uneven contours of Xiao Ni-chan's face.

Everyone watched Jin Xia's editing on the screen.

"Videos can be edited too. It's just that the technical barriers haven't been overcome yet, so you can only make simple adjustments to the figure. You'll need to use a computer to work on facial details."

As her words fell, thunderous applause broke out around her!

The girl in the video on the screen had gone from having a dark complexion and a body whose upper and lower halves were equal in length to a fair-skinned beauty.

Although she still wasn't a stunning beauty, at least she looked no different from Xiao Ni-chan in her photos.

"The future belongs to long-form videos, especially if you want to sell products..."

At that point, Jin Xia paused.

That trend had yet to develop. Even if she brought up selling products, they wouldn't understand how to work subtle advertisements into videos.

"Selling products? We all do that. We just post a little promotional content when we have time and introduce the products to everyone. I don't think we need training for that, right? We all make our living on the internet, after all. Who can't sell a few products?"

A boy in a blue baseball shirt sat in the corner, muttering.

Jin Xia shook her head. It looked like she had to give everyone a basic introduction now.

If they were still clinging to their old understanding and thought selling products meant casually posting a little promotional content, they couldn't be more wrong.

"What was your first reaction when you saw me today?"

As Jin Xia spoke, she brushed a hand over her neck, seemingly casually.

Around her slender, fair, swanlike neck was a short necklace set with a tiny diamond of just ten points.

Although the necklace's main diamond was small, it served a decidedly decorative purpose, setting off the proportions of her neck perfectly and just enough, making her whole figure look more slender and delicate.

Xiao Ni-chan blurted out instinctively, "President Jin, that necklace of yours is really pretty. Where did you buy it?"

"A friend gave me this necklace, so I'm not sure either. But I feel that having a necklace like this as an accent makes my whole appearance look more polished. I really like it too."

Jin Xia's lips curved into a gentle smile.

The boy in the baseball shirt slapped the table, looking rather annoyed. "President Jin, weren't we talking about selling products? Why are you talking about a necklace? Although... it really does look nice."

"President Jin, send me the link after the meeting. I want to buy one too."

"Me too!"

The group clamored noisily.

Even the meeting had now strayed off topic, with some people starting to discuss what material the necklace was made of.

Jin Xia cleared her throat. "So, does everyone understand how to work in a subtle advertisement now?"

What?

Everyone seated below looked astonished.

Only then did they belatedly realize that everything Jin Xia had just said had been meant to highlight her necklace.

And that necklace was the subtle advertisement!

"I get it! I finally understand all the thought you've put into this, President Jin! If we could edit photos like you, we'd never have to worry about not having fans!"

Xiao Ni-chan looked at Jin Xia excitedly, her eyes filled with admiration.

Jin Xia raised her eyes to Xiao Ni-chan, signaling for her to stay quiet for the moment.

She stood up again and said seriously, "So right now, I only hope everyone will cooperate with me. Only then can we help you grasp the trends of the next era as quickly as possible."

The man in the baseball shirt had just been kicking up a fuss, loudly insisting that Jin Xia wasn't professional enough.

Now, all the voices of doubt had vanished.

All they felt for Jin Xia was admiration!

"My God, I always thought President Jin was just a young college girl. I never imagined she was this impressive!"

"It's not just her photo editing. What she just said, that subtle product placement, was even more amazing. I didn't even realize she was selling us something!"

"..."

Even after Jin Xia had left the meeting room, the discussion behind her continued without end.

Jin Xia remained calm and composed, without the slightest change in her expression.

When she left the company, Xiao Ni-chan even chased her downstairs, jogging behind Jin Xia. "President Jin, wait a moment!"

Jin Xia stopped, thinking Xiao Ni-chan had come to her about something urgent.

Her delicate brows drew together slightly. "Are you unhappy with the company's profit-sharing terms?"

"No, that's not it. I just realized I still don't have your contact information, President Jin. Shall we add each other?"

Xiao Ni-chan took out her phone and held it up, signaling for Jin Xia to scan her QR code.

After they exchanged contact details, Jin Xia's lips curved into a smile. "Feel free to contact me anytime if you have any questions. I have high hopes for you."

Those words made Xiao Ni-chan's heart skip a beat.

Why did this feel so much like a boss talking to a subordinate?

Jin Xia straightened up and strode directly over to the Alphard parked nearby, opened the door, and got in.

Before leaving, Jin Xia didn't forget to glance out through the window. "I've already arranged for someone to train you in photo editing. Everything that comes next will be up to you."

"President Jin, remember to send us the link to your necklace!"

Xiao Ni-chan waved at Jin Xia, putting on a cute expression as she winked and smiled.

Jin Xia merely nodded without another word, then told An He to drive away.

On the way, Jin Xia suddenly received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello, is this Jin Xia? There are some matters we'd like to ask you about."

The caller's tone was serious and cold, leaving Jin Xia momentarily taken aback.
