Chapter 145: Chapter 145 The First Weibo Photo
Lucas Jennings sensed Scarlett Jennings easing up on him and immediately took a big step forward without hesitation.
"Sis, you broke a million followers on Weibo yesterday, but your page only has one retweet from your show. This won’t do!"
"Why not?" Scarlett asked.
"You have to post pictures, or the fans will slip away if you don’t spoil them."
Lucas wore the expression of someone with experience, seeing that Scarlett genuinely didn’t understand these things, feeling exasperated about her lack of savvy.
With that kind of social intelligence, she was thinking of mixing it in the entertainment industry?
"Here, find some pictures in your phone, add some captions, and officially say hi to your fans."
Scarlett found it a bit troublesome, but she also thought Lucas had a point.
So she opened her photo album.
Lucas naturally leaned over to look and was instantly dumbfounded.
Scarlett’s album contained nothing but scans of ancient talisman manuscripts, with only a few casually taken nice photos mixed in.
Lucas’s head buzzed with pain.
Didn’t his sister have any interests typical of young people?
What about selfies? Photo editing?
How could the content of her album be so barren?
But Scarlett didn’t seem to realize the problem, she was even seriously picking photos.
Lucas was worried she’d actually post a talisman photo online, and hurriedly said,
"Sis! Sis, why don’t I take a new one for you?"
With a beauty filter and framed just right.
Scarlett didn’t like taking photos, or rather, people from the Mystical Sect weren’t keen on it.
Because in a way, photos were carriers, and if they fell into the hands of someone with ill intentions, they could potentially leak fate chart information or be used for other purposes.
But then she thought, she’d already been on a show, and the screenshots of her online from all angles were clearer than her own reflection in the mirror.
Posting a photo didn’t seem to matter much.
So Scarlett nodded.
"How should we take it?"
Seeing her agreeable for once, Lucas was immediately enthusiastic, glancing around before his eyes lit up.
"Change into a dress and stand at the foot of the stairs, I’ll use a wide-angle lens to get the whole foyer in. That way, everyone can see you come from a sophisticated background!"
The Jennings family foyer was lavishly decorated, definitely a place of wealth.
Uncle Ming approached unknowingly, catching Lucas suggesting a photo shoot for the young lady, and politely pointed out,
"Young Master Lucas, I heard there are trolls online who begrudge the wealthy. Posting this as a first photo might be criticized as flaunting wealth."
Lucas acknowledged the point—certainly, using the foyer as a backdrop could lead trolls to suspect a staged background.
He couldn’t leave such fodder for online trolls.
Uncle Ming, seeing Lucas take it in, suggested,
"How about taking shots in the garden? The light’s good now, and I can arrange some fruit and flowers nearby. The young lady can sit on the garden chair with a book, it gives off a cultured vibe."
Lucas shook his head without thinking, "Not good, my sister doesn’t do artsy. Anyone can tell it’s fake."
Scarlett’s gaze quietly turned.
Did she really look that mismatched with anything artistic?
Lucas met Scarlett’s gaze, realizing he’d spoken thoughtlessly, awkwardly averting his eyes, and discussed other locations with Uncle Ming.
The house offered plenty of photo-worthy spots: two-story book walls, his collectibles room, Azura Loomis’s doll room, the garden’s flower house—so many choices made it tough to decide.
Scarlett couldn’t understand how taking a simple photo for Weibo had turned into a formal photo shoot.
As she contemplated snapping a quick picture in her room, light footsteps sounded from upstairs.
The little cutie had come down to find her, having waited in vain for Scarlett to return to her room.
Scarlett lifted her hand accordingly, and the little cutie nimblely jumped into her arms.
Seeing Scarlett holding the little cutie made Lucas’s eyes instantly light up.
"Why not take a photo holding the little cutie on the lawn?"
Uncle Ming also thought it was a good idea.
Scarlett, afraid Lucas might change his mind again, nodded in agreement.
Carrying the little cutie outside, ready to snap a quick couple of pictures, she heard Uncle Ming ask, "Young Master Lucas, should we prepare a fill light and a reflector?"
Nowadays, that’s how influencers shot photos, always with outstanding results.
Lucas slapped his forehead, realizing they were a must, and nodded quickly to have Uncle Ming prepare them.
Scarlett thought, perhaps the photo wasn’t that critical after all.
Scarlett eventually took a set of photos under the enthusiastic invitation of Lucas and Uncle Ming.
Apart from Lucas and Uncle Ming, they also brought in two maids to manage the lighting and reflector, creating the vibe of a mini-shooting team.
After the photoshoot, Lucas selected the best three, edited them, adjusted the color.
By the time the photos were posted, it was nearly lunch.
Apart from the show’s retweet, this was Scarlett’s first genuine Weibo post.
Scarlett sat on the steps with the little cutie in her arms, sitting outside the pet house along with casual walking shots.
Got to say, Lucas had talent.
Whether it was the composition or the post-production tones, everything turned out beautifully.
The caption was succinct with just four words—["Pleased to meet you."]
As soon as the Weibo post went live, those following Scarlett immediately saw the photos, followed by a tidal wave of enthusiastic praises.
["Finally, our darling posted a photo! I thought she forgot she had a Weibo..."]
["Grandma, the young lady you follow finally remembered her Weibo password!"]
["Ahh, I’ve always thought this young lady had top-tier looks! Promise us more of these everyday shots in the future!"]
["Sweetie, where was this taken? Looks fabulous!"]
["Is that a little Samoyed in her arms? Looks like a fox!"]
["Could it be a pet fox, maybe?"]
["Such a pretty pet is just right for such a pretty young lady!"]
["Aww, could owning a fox make me as beautiful as the young lady? If yes, I’ll adopt one right away!"]
["I’ve seen cats, dogs, and lizards, but a fox is a first for me. Aren’t foxes protected animals? Does the country allow them as pets?"]
["That’s a pet fox; they’re allowed. But I’ve got to say, the Jennings family’s little fox is the best-looking fox I’ve ever seen!"]
["So there are pet foxes. Why doesn’t Amber Livingston have a fox? Didn’t he say he worships the Immortal Fox?"]
["Please don’t drag my Amber into this, okay? Who said you need a real fox if you worship the Immortal Fox?"]
["Posting pet fox pictures in the first Weibo post, is this intentional drama with Amber Livingston? Amber worships a true Immortal Fox! What does Scarlett Jennings even have?"]
["True, our sweetie doesn’t have anything incredible, just the spokesperson for New Cloud District in Sea City, top scorer in the college entrance exam, who saw through Louis Xalvadora as a murderer at first sight, saw the Wealth Pillar once, and instantly saw through the ghost young lady’s tale... that’s all."]
Lucas kept refreshing the comments under Scarlett’s Weibo after the post, initially excited about all the praises, knowing they were made possible thanks to his urging.
And the pics! All his handiwork!
But soon, when comments started mentioning Amber Livingston, and his fans joined the fray, the whole vibe shifted.
Lucas was furious, he ran upstairs, yelling out his grievance,
"Grandpa! Brother Chase is siccing trolls on my sister again!"
