Chapter 975: Creating a Myth....

Defeat!
It was too frustrating.
Since he had already been amazed by her aesthetic and unique high taste, there was no need to hold a grudge. If they had something better and more beautiful, why would they choose the ugly one?
That’s right, compared to Su Wen’s outfit, theirs was downright hideous!
Not only was it ugly, but it was also terribly outdated.
It had a provincial flavour.
Su Wen was experienced in front of the camera, so she didn’t feel like a newbie at all. The planned full-day session was quickly completed. When the interview ended in the afternoon, Su Wen left with Fang Sha and Fang Shuai.
Several people from the magazine agency enthusiastically escorted her to the entrance, not leaving until she was out of sight. Just then, Chief Editor Xia returned from outside.
“What’s going on? Are you guys welcoming me?” she teased.
“Uh… Yes, Chief Editor, you’re back.”
“How did it go?”
Chief Editor Xia wasn’t clueless. She teased her staff, pretending not to know what they were up to. “What’s this all about? Who’s it for?”
“Su Wen.”
“Escorting her?” Chief Editor Xia looked astounded. “Did you all suddenly turn over a new leaf? I remember you were griping about her this morning!”
“That’s because we were blind.”
“Yes! We’re like frogs in a well.”
“We don’t know the true scale of things.”
“We didn’t recognize true elegance.”
Chief Editor Xia chuckled, thinking her trusted team had gone a bit loopy. “So, let me get this straight, you’re using these exact words to praise Su Wen now? Why? Did something change?”
Everyone was extremely embarrassed.
Chief Editor Xia found it even more bizarre. “Really?”
“Chief Editor, you’ll understand when you see Big Beard’s work.”
“Alright then!” Chief Editor Xia was prepared, but still couldn’t fathom how Su Wen managed to turn the tables. By the time she reached Big Beard’s studio, she found herself locked out.
“Um… the chief photographer said he has to work overtime tonight. If you want to see the results, you’ll have to wait until tomorrow.”
“Is there a rush?” Chief Editor Xia was eager to see what they had achieved. “I’m curious to see the outcome. They’ve all surprised us.”
After Big Beard worked late into the night, Chief Editor Xia finally saw the first batch of photos the next day.
Astounding.
She couldn’t wait to call Zhou Yan, only to find out the president was already busy with signing events in other cities.
“When do you think you’ll be back?”
“About a month, we have four cities to cover.”
The magazine would hit the stands in a month. Chief Editor Xia instructed President Zhou to call her as soon as he returned before hanging up with a tinge of regret.
After a month, who knew how much Su Wen’s stock would rise?
Now, Chief Editor Xia only had one thing on her mind: cursing.
A month later, the latest issue of Ai Shang Magazine hit the shelves, achieving record-breaking sales and becoming a legendary phenomenon.
The first batch sold out within three days, requiring three reprints to meet the demand. Everyone envied Ai Shang Magazine’s newfound fortune.
As the year drew to a close, the cover photo of Ai Shang magazine became the year’s standout.
But even more noteworthy was the model for this issue. Calling her a model was misleading, as the professional models hired for the shoot barely made a ripple.
The real star, igniting the market and sparking a sales frenzy, was Su Wen, whose photo caught Chief Editor Xia’s eye and earned her the cover spot in an instant.
