Peninsula: It all started with the breakup

Chapter 10 Tools for Secret Filming

Xie Mingmu nodded and smiled at them as a greeting, though they didn't see him smile.

After the ride-sharing incident at noon, he realized that Mina and her teammates had a good relationship. In order to win back Mina, Xie Mingmu decided to win over her teammates so that they would give him some encouragement.

This idea is absolutely correct; having a wingman can make all the difference!

Xie Mingmu glanced at Mina and found that she wasn't even looking at him, completely ignoring him. Damn it, Xie Mingmu also put on a serious face, pretending to be engrossed in his work.

Seeing the two of them acting so businesslike, pretending not to know each other when they clearly did, made Sana Minatozaki laugh out loud.

"Mina-chan, what are you two doing?" Minatozaki Sana whispered in Mina's ear.

"..." Mina maintained her fake smile.

Beer Belly also took the opportunity to come over, looking very serious, but he kept glancing at Lim Nayeon with shifty eyes.

"Pah!" Xie Mingmu thought to himself, looking down on him.

At this point, the staff member in charge of asking questions took their place, started filming, and took out a piece of cardboard.

"Now let's begin the Q&A session. The first question is: what are the members of TWICE's thoughts on their new album?"

In these kinds of interviews, the team leader usually answers. The team member takes the microphone and says, "This album includes many refreshing and energetic songs. We hope everyone will feel energized after listening to it!"

This answer is standard and follows a basic template.

...

After the Q&A session, today's filming also came to an end.

After they finished packing, they got into their van. Xie Mingmu also packed up his filming equipment and got into the camera van, a very ordinary van, even a bit dilapidated.

It wasn't officially time to leave work yet. He still had to organize the footage and import it to the computer to avoid any accidents that could lead to the loss of the recordings. As the photographer, he could only sit on the sidelines and watch.

Beer Belly even copied a picture of Lim Nayeon for himself when no one was looking, but Xie Mingmu still found out. What a disgusting guy!

The work at this time was relatively easy, but it took a lot of time. It was already very late, and at this time, the company only had some trainees who were working hard to debut and were still in the practice room.

As soon as I stepped out of the company gate, the phone rang again. I looked up and it was that senior colleague again.

"See that black car with its lights flashing? Come on over there."

Before Xie Mingmu could say anything more, the phone immediately went dead. It was all very professional.

Xie Mingmu walked over, got into the car, and his senior handed him a camera bag: "You came in such a hurry that I forgot to prepare equipment for you. I came here to deliver the equipment to you."

Xie Mingmu opened his camera bag, inspected the equipment, and said somewhat speechlessly, "This camera is alright, but why did you give me a 50mm prime lens? How am I supposed to take any candid shots with this? How can the results be good with something like this?"

For candid photography, a zoom lens is naturally better; a prime lens will never be good enough, unless it's a staged shot.

"These are the conditions now, there's nothing we can do about it," Senior Jin said with a hint of helplessness.

"But if I use this to film, I'll definitely be exposed. I can't just walk over and make them pose so I can take pictures when they're arguing or bullying each other, can I?" Xie Mingmu said, frowning.

"We've also considered that there won't be much progress here, so please bear with it for now. Once things are over with SM, I'll get the camera from Xiaobai for you. Don't worry too much, just take it easy."

"Alright then." Xie Mingmu knew that Dispatch didn't believe he, a newcomer, had the ability to quickly break news; he was being underestimated. For him, it was a good thing, as he hadn't wanted to be involved in any scandals.

"That's all for now. Remember my license plate. Good luck, junior!"

Xie Mingmu responded, got out of the car, picked up his equipment, and sighed that the largest entertainment media in the peninsula was nothing more than a makeshift operation. He was about to take a taxi home when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.

Xie Mingmu turned around and saw that it was the girl who looked like a repairman during the day. Now, upon closer inspection, he found that she was quite fair-skinned, with upturned eyes, wearing a white tank top and a short skirt, and had a lively and charming demeanor.

Sana Minato is a little nervous now. Although she looked like she was watching a good show during the day, she was still very concerned about her best friend's problem. She went to see Xie Mingmu in private because she wanted to help Mina get rid of Xie Mingmu, this potential threat.

But when the moment came and she met Xie Mingmu, she didn't know what to say. Given her position, what could she say? This was something a young person did in the heat of the moment, something they couldn't even understand themselves. Looking back on it, they would want to slap themselves.

Looking up at Xie Mingmu, who had already taken off his mask, Minatozaki Sana noticed that he looked a bit like Kimura Takuya and Leon Lai, and even more handsome than the two of them.

At this moment, Minatozaki Sana finally understood why Mina had never intended to date. To describe Minatozaki Sana's feelings at this moment with a line of poetry, it would be: "Having seen the vast ocean, other waters are insignificant; having beheld the clouds of Wushan, other clouds are not worth seeing."

Sana Minatozaki initially thought that Xie Mingmu was definitely going to pester her relentlessly, but when she saw his face, she felt that Mina was not a good match for him. However, they were still good friends, and she was at least on Mina's side.

However, after much coaxing from Minatozaki Sana, she managed to extract quite a bit of information, such as that it was Mina who initiated their breakup. Therefore, Minatozaki Sana concluded that Xie Mingmu was a womanizer.

Despite her thoughts, out of love for Mina and after seeing such a beautiful face, she decided to test whether Xie Mingmu was really a womanizer and whether Mina had misunderstood him back then.

This is why, after filming ended, Sana Minato made an excuse to go have dinner with her friends. She had been waiting for Xie Mingmu at the coffee shop next to the company, but she didn't expect him to come out so late, which made her drink a lot of coffee. Thinking about it, her stomach is still a little bloated.

Upon seeing Sana Minatozaki, Xie Mingmu felt a little guilty. Was his paparazzi career about to end? That would truly be the fastest legend in the industry—being discovered after only one day undercover… No way! That would be too embarrassing. Although he didn't really need the job, it would be very upsetting if his name became known in the paparazzi world of the peninsula.

If it's a good reputation, then so be it, but if it's a bad reputation, that's not good either. In any case, Xie Mingmu doesn't want to hear people talking about him like that in the future.

Have you heard of that fastest man?

"Is that the man who got kicked out on his first day undercover?"

......

Xie Mingmu quickly dismissed his fantasies, forcing himself to believe it must be an accident, absolutely an accident. He looked down at the ground, seemingly not recognizing Minatozaki Sana. Unfortunately, Minatozaki Sana spoke with a smile.

"Are you feeling guilty?"
