Chapter 388 Working at the Photo Studio

After staying for a week, Kong Xiujuan called the village store.

They call every day, and the shop owner doesn't even want to help notify Yunya anymore.

With no other option, Yunya decided to go back and help her mother.

Yunya was actually quite reluctant to leave her maternal grandmother, but she couldn't disobey her mother's orders. She promised her grandmother that she would come back to see her again when she had time.

With tears in her eyes, Grandma stuffed a handful of boiled eggs into Yunya's pocket and told her to be careful on the road.

She also returned the 200 yuan that Yunya had given her. Yunya didn't take it and put it back in her grandmother's pocket.

He carried his cloth bag to the village entrance station to catch a bus.

When she got home, Kong Xiujuan was busy and overwhelmed. When she saw Yunya come back, she immediately dumped a bunch of work on her.

Yunya didn't complain and silently started working. But she was still worried about Mu Shuyun, wondering if Mu Shuyun would secretly cry again without her by her side.

One day, while Yunya was working, she suddenly received a letter from her grandmother through a messenger.

It is said that Mu Shuyun asks Yunya every day when she will return, and she even folded a lot of paper cranes, saying that she would give them to Yunya when she comes back.

Upon hearing this news, Yunya's nose tingled and her eyes reddened. She discussed with her mother whether she could visit her maternal grandmother and Mu Shuyun again after things calmed down. Kong Xiujuan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Yunya had only been back for three days when she went out to look for work. She first found a light and clean job, helping out at a photo studio.

Her main job is to clean and run errands.

If a baby comes to have their 100-day photos taken, she is responsible for changing the backdrop, changing the baby's clothes, and guiding the baby to smile.

When people come to take ID photos, she has to ride her bicycle to run errands and develop the negatives from the digital camera's memory card.

Photos are usually developed at professional film processing centers. They have partnerships with all the photography studios in Yicheng.

Most people come to his place to develop their photos, including wedding photos.

Yunya learned how to take ID photos in just one month, and the boss taught her how to do it for every customer who needed ID photos taken.

Yunya worked exceptionally hard and soon gained the boss's appreciation.

That day, a stylish young couple came into the store to take a set of couple photos. The owner asked Yunya to help set up the scene, which Yunya completed quickly and efficiently.

During the photo shoot, the sweet interaction between the couple reminded Yunya of her maternal grandmother Mu Shuyun and paternal grandfather Kong Tongming, making her even more eager to go back and visit them.

Just as Yunya was lost in her thoughts, her boss suddenly called her over and said, "Yunya, you've been doing well lately. I'm going to teach you how to use Photoshop to edit photos."

Yunya was both surprised and delighted, never expecting to have the opportunity to learn a new skill so soon.

In the days that followed, Yunya diligently learned from her boss, but she only scratched the surface.

The boss took out a photo editing textbook and showed it to Yunya, telling her to study it on her own. Once she had learned enough from the textbook, he would teach her how to practice and do hands-on exercises.

One day, the boss and her husband didn't come; they went on a road trip. The shop was left in Yunya's care.

Around 10 a.m., the boss's classmate came to visit. This classmate was a sleazy scoundrel. He dressed smartly, but he was a complete jerk.

He noticed a little girl coming into his classmate's shop; she was small, clever, and had pretty features. He then hatched a wicked plan.
