Let’s postpone the photo shoot until afternoon. Everyone go enjoy the beach.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The agent straightened up and exchanged glances with the photographer; they knew this woman was still throwing a tantrum, but there was nothing to be done—she was one of the company’s biggest cash cows, and everything had to go her way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they only had two hours of exclusive beach access—if they delayed until afternoon, the beach operators and tourists would complain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as the agent was desperately torn, Miki approached and said to the photographer, “Why don’t we shoot first? Miss Quan has been waiting a long time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miki glanced toward the distance, where Luo Quan was crouched on the sand watching two crabs fight, speaking with careful tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The photographer said nothing, only looked from Star Ye Sakura’s agent to Star Ye Sakura herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh? Is there another artist shooting today?” Star Ye Sakura sat up, curiously glancing toward Luo Quan’s direction—but too far away to make out her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miki nodded quickly. “Yes, Miss Quan signed with the company this morning and will be releasing an album soon. When she heard you were shooting at Seaside Park, Director Ishimura sent me to bring her over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We originally planned to wait until you finished, but since you’re not in the mood, I thought…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then have her come over. Don’t let anyone say I’m bullying newcomers because I’m a big star.” Star Ye Sakura acted magnanimous, showing no intention to make things difficult for Luo Quan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miki was overjoyed, immediately bowed and thanked her, then ran to the beach to call Luo Quan over. The entire photography crew took their positions, ready to begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as Luo Quan reached Star Ye Sakura’s side to express her thanks, an unexpected situation occurred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoever shoots her today is going against me!” Star Ye Sakura pointed at Luo Quan, face icy, voice thick with hostility and threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan looked stunned—she remembered never having wronged this celebrity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Star Ye -san, didn’t we just agree? How can you change your mind so quickly?” Miki was caught off guard—had Star Ye Sakura never intended to let the photo crew work with Luo Quan at all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I changed my mind. You’re not shooting her today—not one of you. Anyone who doubts it, try me!” Star Ye Sakura showed no mercy, tossed out her ultimatum, then lay back on the lounge chair and closed her eyes, leaving everyone frozen in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The photography team leader looked helplessly at Miki and Luo Quan. “Maybe… we should just call it off today? Let Director Ishimura reschedule for tomorrow. Is that okay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of logic is that? If you don’t want to shoot me, just say so—why go through the trouble of humiliating me?” Luo Quan was angry—this was classic bullying of a newcomer by someone with status and seniority!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in Japan’s rigidly hierarchical society, if Star Ye Sakura was determined to make things hard for Luo Quan, Luo Quan had no recourse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Star Ye Sakura was a contracted artist of Sony, while Luo Quan had only signed a single album—their statuses were incomparable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the uneasy expressions around her, Luo Quan knew she had no choice but to swallow this bitter pill. Losing face was minor—if Star Ye Sakura’s interference delayed her album’s release, the losses would be far greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan wasn’t one to cling stubbornly to pride. She was about to leave when the rookie photographer who had caused the earlier trouble walked over, camera in hand, and said, “I’ll shoot for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone stared in shock, including Luo Quan herself—how could this employee, who had endured Star Ye Sakura’s bullying without protest, suddenly decide to dive into this mess?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Ye Sakura shot up from the lounge chair, face flushed with fury, glaring at the audacious rookie. “Do you want to quit your job here? Do you think I won’t call Director Ishimura right now and have you fired?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do whatever you want. I’m quitting and returning to China after this job anyway.” The rookie dropped the line, turned, and walked toward the shooting site. Luo Quan and Miki exchanged glances, then followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star Ye Sakura stamped her foot in rage, snatched up her shirt from the table, and stormed off the beach…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rookie set the camera on the tripod and adjusted focus. Luo Quan said, “You didn’t have to risk your job over me—you’ve lost your position now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rookie shook his head. “Don’t blame yourself. I think Star Ye Sakura’s targeting you is entirely because of my mistake—she’s just taking out her anger on someone else. I won’t let innocent people suffer because of me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, I’ve had enough of this atmosphere and these rules. If this place won’t keep me, somewhere else will!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan nodded, curious. “By the way, you said you’re returning to China anyway… you’re not Japanese?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m from Huaxia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Small world—I’m from Huaxia too!” Luo Quan said in Mandarin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zheyuan snapped his head up, delighted. “You’re from Huaxia too?! I thought you were American—I was wondering why an American spoke Japanese instead of English!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan smiled. “My father is Anglo-Japanese, my mother is Huaxian. I should’ve looked more East Asian, but somehow I ended up like this—must’ve been a mistake.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If this is a mistake, most girls would wish for even worse mistakes.” Lin Zheyuan complimented subtly. “By the way, my name is Lin Zheyuan—‘Zhe’ as in ‘wise self-preservation,’ ‘Yuan’ as in ‘serene distance.’ I’m from Shanghai, studying at Shanghai Art University. What about you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder artists were different—they introduced their names with such literary flair, one idiom after another. Compared to that, Luo Quan’s sounded pitifully plain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m Luo Quan—‘Luo’ with three water strokes, no grass radical; ‘Quan’ as in plain water. I’m from Chongqing, just got into Tokyo University this year.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Luo Quan herself felt embarrassed—this introduction was so weak. She’d wanted to sound as eloquent as Lin Zheyuan, but not a single idiom came to mind. She’d clearly suffered from lack of education—she’d need to study harder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zheyuan, hearing she attended Tokyo University, was slightly surprised. “So you’re a top student from Tokyo University? My apologies for not recognizing you sooner.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Quan demurred. “Don’t say that—it was just luck.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you two talking about?” Miki pushed a four-wheeled cart piled high with women’s clothing over, curious at how happily Luo Quan and Lin Zheyuan were chatting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh! My head’s been in the clouds—I forgot the job!” Lin Zheyuan quickly returned to the camera, adjusted focus, and asked, “By the way, how are you shooting this? Photo shoot or music video?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miki answered immediately. “Director Ishimura said to shoot the cover for the lead single, ‘Lemon,’ and also a short video of her walking along the beach for promotional material.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After adjusting focus, Lin Zheyuan looked up. “What’s the theme? Can I hear the three songs?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Since this is Miss Quan’s debut, the company decided to name the mini-album after her—‘Quan.’” Miki played Luo Quan’s songs on his phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the album’s called ‘Quan,’ why are we shooting at the beach?” Lin Zheyuan looked baffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miki blushed. “We just heard you were shooting here, so we came over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Zheyuan said nothing, quietly listening as Luo Quan’s songs played one after another on the phone. After three finished, he still seemed reluctant to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Lin Zheyuan sighed sincerely. “This is infinitely better than Star Ye Sakura’s music.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I feel the same,” Miki whispered, covering his mouth with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it really that good?” Luo Quan laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s truly excellent—it’ll be a hit once released!” Lin Zheyuan praised without restraint, then added, “We can shoot the album cover here, but the promotional video needs another location. Wait here, Luo Quan—I’ll go get props!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1356,"2026-06-20T22:54:01.657Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","21da05301a04e7dac6593f6b5cdcfdfdc4551de5bc5a56cac500be73a6a915d4","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-7","becoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-chapter-5",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbecoming-a-goddess-in-tokyo-cover.jpg"]
