In the evening, Helen Pepe stood on the tennis court and practiced for an hour in front of the ball machine.
For professional tennis players, sparring with the ball machine is a very low-intensity training. This kind of training is mainly done to maintain the feel of the ball, so as not to become technically unfamiliar after not touching the ball for a long time.
It's just that even this kind of low-intensity training carries certain risks for Pepe now. Once a problem occurs, it may be muscle soreness in a mild case, or it may cause functional impairment of the muscles in a more serious case. .
In the past, after Pepe finished training, he would feel a little uncomfortable due to his old injuries. However, after today's one-hour training, Pepe did not feel any discomfort.
"After completing training in the past, if the training intensity was relatively high, there would be persistent pain in the hip muscles. If the training intensity was relatively light, there would also be some soreness, but today there is no soreness at all." Pepe said. He said to himself.
Soreness is a very intuitive manifestation of strain injuries. Pepe's hip injury has lasted for many years, and she has long been accustomed to the feeling of muscle soreness. Now that she suddenly can't feel it anymore, she feels a little uncomfortable.
Pepe subconsciously reached out to press her buttocks, especially the areas where the pain was usually strong. However, what she didn't expect was that she felt no pain when she pressed it.
Local pressing pain is also one of the symptoms of muscle strain, and this symptom has tortured Pepe for many years. At the most severe time, Pepe did not even dare to lie down to sleep, because lying down to sleep would press the injured hip muscles, giving her Bring pain.
"It doesn't hurt at all." Pepe couldn't believe it. She pressed hard, and then she felt pain.
"Is this the effect of today's massage? It's so magical!" Pepe took a breath of air. This kind of therapeutic effect was something she had never dreamed of.
Suddenly, Pepe realized that he seemed to have wrongly blamed Li Dai. At the beginning, Li Dai arranged more massages in the training plan, really for her quick recovery.
"I misunderstood him. He was sure that I regarded him as a pervert. This time he was really embarrassed!"
…
At a well-known media outlet in Los Angeles, the editor-in-chief James looked through the photos in his hands one by one and shook his head.
After a while, he looked at all the photos, then threw them to a young man opposite, and then said: "Peter, these photos are rubbish. They are worthless. I won't take any of them."
"Garbage? How could it be? These are all photos of Helen Pepe. She has so many fans. Her photos have always been the most popular. I followed her for a long time to take these photos. "The young man who added Peter said.
"Helen Pepe's photos are indeed very popular, but these photos of yours don't have any highlights. Look at the rubbish you took. In these photos, Pepe goes to the parking lot and gets in the car. How normal. Things? Do you think the audience will pay attention to such a mundane thing?"
James said, picking up several other photos: "There are also these pictures. Pepe walked out of the hotel. She is not an American and has no real estate in Los Angeles. She should stay in a hotel. Are you letting her sleep in the open?" On the street? What's the point of this kind of photo? Do you think this kind of thing can be published in the newspaper? This is Los Angeles, there is Hollywood here, anyone squatting in front of a well-known five-star hotel may be blocked A star, even an Oscar-winning actor or actress! Is it unusual for Pepe to stay in a hotel?"
"What I want is not photos of daily life. What I need are photos that are interesting. No, it should be said that readers want to see photos that are interesting, not this kind of garbage." James pointed at the photo. Then he said: "Even if you take a few photos of Pepe in a nightclub, it will be more gimmick than this garbage!"
"But the photos I took have very good definition, and the angle selection, the light selection, and..."
Peter opened his mouth to defend, but was interrupted by James before he finished speaking.
"Okay, Peter, do you really think you are a famous photographer? The choice of angle and light? Hahaha..." James laughed sarcastically, and then said with a look of disdain: "Okay, now you, To put it nicely, you are a freelance photographer, but to put it worst, you are just a paparazzi! A paparazzi should do what a paparazzi should do, and take the photos that a paparazzi should take, instead of messing around with angles and lighting choices. !”
After James finished speaking, he pointed to the door, and then said: "Okay Peter, I don't have time to talk to you about ideals and life here. I still have a lot of work to do. If you still bring this kind of garbage in the future, I will never see you again."
…
Peter walked on the road with a depressed face. He was humiliated by James, and he was naturally in an extremely bad mood.
But he also knows that what James said is true. He is not a photographer, he can only be regarded as a paparazzi.
It was Peter's dream to become a photographer, but his dream could not be turned into a living. The photos he took were worthless in the eyes of others, whether or not they existed.
"James is right, I'm just a paparazzi, I should do what a paparazzi should do."
Peter took a deep breath and recalled what he had been doing following Helen Pepe in the past few days.
"Helen Pepe has been at a physical training center recently. If we can take pictures of her training, we should be able to sell it for some money."
"But it is a very high-end training center. If you are not a member, you can't get in. And with my little income, it is impossible to become a member there. It seems that if you want to sneak into that training center, you have to think of something else. There is a way."
…
Peter pushed a cleaning cart and secretly looked at the rooms on the left and right from time to time.
At this time, he disguised himself as a cleaner and sneaked into Dai Li's physical training center.
The labor force in the United States is very expensive. In addition to paying a salary, hiring a regular employee also requires paying various insurances for him. Therefore, Dai Li did not hire a cleaning staff, but paid a cleaning company to take charge of the training center. Keeping things clean can save a lot of money.
It was also for this reason that Peter was able to disguise himself as a cleaner and sneak into the training center secretly. Because the cleaning company sent by the cleaning company is not necessarily the same person every day, even if Peter is a new face, no one will doubt him.
"This training center is big enough. I wonder where Helen Pepe is." Peter pondered and looked around.
From time to time, one or two familiar faces would appear in Peter's sight. They were all well-known athletes and clients of Dai Li.
Peter wanted to take out the camera hidden in the cleaning truck and click the shutter on those well-known athletes, but his reason told Peter that he could not do this. The purpose of his trip was for Helen Pepe, Helen Pepe photos are more valuable than these athletes.
Finally, Peter wandered near the massage room.
"Massage room? The door is closed. There should be no one there." Peter pushed the trolley and walked straight past the door of the massage room.
At this moment, a woman's moans suddenly sounded from the massage room.
"Hmm...ah..."
Hearing this voice, Peter stopped instantly.
…
In the massage room, Helen Pepe let out another comfortable moan.
Dai Li looked embarrassed, and he couldn't help but stop the massage.
Pepe was enjoying the comfort brought by the recovery massage. Dai Li suddenly stopped. Pepe said subconsciously: "Coach Li, don't stop."
Dai Li showed a helpless expression, and then said: "Miss Peipei, can you not make such a cry, others may hear it."
When Dai Li said this, Pepe also realized that the moans he made were indeed a bit indecent.
"Sorry, the strength just now was just right. It was so comfortable. I couldn't hold it back for a while." Pepe turned around and looked at Dai Li with a resentful look, and then said, "Coach Li, shall we continue? ?”
"Okay." Dai Li continued his recovery massage.
However, just over twenty seconds later, Pepe could not suppress another moan of comfort.
…
Outside the door, Peter heard a strange sound coming from the room and stopped immediately.
"Why are there women's moans? Is there someone inside doing something indescribable?"
When Peter thought of this, his curiosity suddenly overcame him. He wanted to push the door in and see what kind of couple there was inside, but he also knew that he had come in secretly, which meant that he had broken in without permission. If he was found out, As for his identity, he will definitely face a lawsuit, so he cannot be discovered by others.
Peter suppressed his curiosity and stayed quietly outside the door to eavesdrop. Although he couldn't take pictures, his professional sensitivity as a paparazzi also made him press the recording button on his mobile phone.
Finally, the woman's voice sounded in the room.
"Coach Li, don't stop."
Peter suddenly showed a "Sure enough" expression, mixed with a sly smile.
"As I expected, the people inside are doing indescribable things. They are brave enough to dare to do such things in such a place in broad daylight. This woman is also unrestrained. And this woman When talking about 'Coach Li', I remember that this training center belongs to the Chinese Coach Li. Could it be that the man inside is the boss here?"
"It must be like this, that is, the boss dares to do such things unscrupulously here. I don't know who this woman is, is she a female secretary? It is normal for the boss to have unspoken rules about female secretaries. Lawrence is the best coach Having an affair with a female secretary, if this kind of thing spreads out, I don’t know if anyone will pay attention.”
At this moment, several gossipy thoughts flashed through Peter's mind.
At this time, another voice sounded in the room.
"Miss Peppa Pig, can you please stop making such a noise? Others may hear you."
The title "Miss Peppa" immediately surprised Peter.
"That man just said 'Pepe'. Could it be that the woman inside is Helen Pepe? Oh my God! Helen Pepe is inside, doing shameful things with Coach Li!"
While Peter felt surprised, he even felt jealous and sad in his heart, as if he knew that the goddess he had admired for so long had been defiled.
"Sorry, the force just now was just right. It was so comfortable just now. I couldn't hold it back for a while."
"Coach Li, shall we continue?"
Pepe's voice sounded again.
"The strength is just right? Comfortable? Continue?" Peter outside the door caught these sensitive words, and not long after, Pepe's moans sounded from the room again.
"Big news, super big news! Helen Pepe's scandal, and there is also a recording stone hammer. This is much more valuable than taking a few training photos! I am going to make a fortune!" Peter laughed excitedly, at this moment , his dream of being a photographer has been completely forgotten by him, and even he himself did not realize that he has become a complete paparazzi.
The photographer and the paparazzi who candidly photograph celebrities are just one dream apart.
…
A few days later, Peter appeared in James' office again.
"Peter, what kind of photos did you bring this time? Don't tell me it's the same as last time. I'm not a garbage disposal station here, and I don't need garbage." While James was speaking, he didn't even raise his head or say anything to Peter. Show the slightest respect.
Seeing James like this, Peter naturally felt very angry, and he was even more determined to give James a hard blow next.
"I didn't bring any photos this time," Peter said.
"No photos?" James raised his head when he heard this answer. He looked at Peter and continued to ask: "There are no photos, so what are you doing?"
"I brought a recording." Peter looked like he was waiting for a price, as if to tell James that the recording in his hand was very valuable.
However, James curled his lips disdainfully: "I'm not selling audiobooks here, so what's the use of recording them!"
"This is Helen Pepe's recording." Peter continued.
"So what? Helen Peppa accepts hundreds of interviews every year, as well as various interviews. In addition, she will also shoot a short video from time to time and send it to Twitter, which has images and sounds. So I What's the use of your recording? Unless you recorded Helen Peppa's screams, you can sell them to those otakus who like her so that they can be more excited when they have sex!" James snorted coldly. Of course, the last sentence is not really about selling the recording, but it is teasing Peter's incompetence.
Peter showed a mocking look, and then he said: "Mr. James, you guessed it right this time, I really recorded Helen Pepe's scream!"
"What did you say? Are you crazy!" James exclaimed.
But Peter took out his cell phone unhurriedly, found an audio piece, and started playing it.
"Hmm...ah..."
"Coach Li, don't stop."
"The strength just now was just right. It was so comfortable. I couldn't hold it back for a while."
"Hmm...ah..."
This recording was processed by Peter. He deliberately blurred some places, leaving only a few key short sentences, and played it for James to listen to.
"Oh my god! This... this..." After hearing this, James didn't know what to say for a moment.
Peter was very satisfied with James' expression. He said, "Mr. James, this is only a part of the recording. If you want the complete recording..."
"I want this recording, please give me a price!" Before Peter could finish speaking, James interrupted him. This way of talking about money directly without any nonsense caught Peter off guard.
…
The next day, the media published such a piece of news.
"Special training?" Helen Pepe and the "best coach" staged a large-scale drama."
