Chapter 28

Jiang Xiaoyuan's makeup is just an ordinary daily routine, and at first glance, there doesn't seem to be any particularly cool technical content. The operating procedures and techniques are also different from the makeup artists taught in school, appearing particularly imaginative.

At the deeper level of technical issues, Chen Fangzhou, as a layman, couldn't explain them clearly. However, he had a feeling that the makeup Jiang Xiaoyuan made for Lily was not so much about covering up her facial defects, but rather expressing - or interpreting.

She seemed to have secretly communicated with the model's previously lifeless and plain facial features, setting a precise and vague unified theme on the entire face, and then creatively interpreting every shadow and groove.

Eyes, nose, and lips, Jiang Xiaoyuan seemed to regard them as dusty works of art, gently holding them in her hand, brushing away the dust bit by bit, tirelessly studying and repairing them, and finally lighting up the inherent brilliance contained in them with a stroke of genius.

The makeup was not thick, and Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't stick her hair on the wall with heavy colors. However, every decoration was just right, and Mr. Chen, who had never paid attention to what Lily looked like, suddenly felt that she came alive, even creating a certain illusion that this person was already a beauty.

Chen Fangzhou had to admit that Jiang Xiaoyuan had two brushes.

After tinkering with her face, Jiang Xiaoyuan decided to take care of her hairstyle as well. After finishing the whole set, the guest stylist still looked very satisfied, as if it was a great regret that Lily couldn't change her outfit at the same time.

It's too late today, "Jiang Xiaoyuan straightened up and casually threw the used cotton swabs on the table, as if she had just made them casually." We can't make the whole set, otherwise we'll have to change all the clothes and accessories - Mr. Chen, what do you think

Chen Fangzhou pondered without saying a word.

Lily herself is almost crying. Since she was born, she has known that the word "beauty" has nothing to do with herself. No one would call her that except for the street vendor who wants to sell something to her. Lily has never been so beautiful before. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she was afraid of wearing off her eye makeup. She stared at her eyes like a pair of light bulbs and turned her tears back.

Lily: "Boss, why don't you deduct my monthly performance bonus from Xiaoyuan and ask her to spend twenty minutes a day putting on my makeup? I would rather be poor than ugly in the future

Chen Fangzhou said, "Just for the three melons and two jujube coins you spend a month, you still need to hire a specialized stylist - you can take a break

Jiang Xiaoyuan recognized the affirmation of herself implied by these words, and her eyes lit up in an instant. She endured and endured, making herself look less urgent, and looked at Chen Fangzhou.

However, Chen Fangzhou paused for a moment and spoke calmly, "No

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Jiang Xiaoyuan, but also the onlookers felt that it was unfair. These chattering little girls were skilled at internal fighting and were not ambiguous when facing the outside world. They launched a group attack on Mr. Chen with all their tongues.

Why can't it be done

This doesn't work, what else is there to do

What if we just open a separate business? It doesn't take up any equipment, just spend some money on a set of cosmetics, it doesn't need to be too good

Mr. Chen, why are you like this? You don't even make money

Chen Fangzhou almost made them look angry, so he had no choice but to wave his hand helplessly and say, "My grandmothers, okay, do you see what this is

He knocked on his badge and said, "These two words mean 'store manager'. I am a store manager, not a boss. I am also a worker who works for people. The boss says I have to work wherever he wants me to, and I have to do whatever he wants me to do. Whether it's the business scope or pricing, it doesn't count for me. It's up to the higher authorities to make a unified decision. Buying a set of cosmetics is not difficult, but you need to promote it, right? You need to join the pricing system, right? You need to have corresponding performance evaluations and service personnel level standards, right? Which one can I decide

He had a sincere and reasonable attitude, and several girls lost their voices.

Chen Fangzhou: "Our store is close to the city center and has a high foot traffic. The boss has asked me to be in charge of this store, which has already made many people dissatisfied. If I take over and make some mistakes, who can I justify it to

Speaking of which, Boss Chen jumped off the table and patted Jiang Xiaoyuan on the shoulder, saying, "You're a bit of a crooked person. Chen doesn't keep his word right now. When he saves enough startup capital in the future, he can go out and work alone. The position of styling design will be reserved for you, okay

Jiang Xiaoyuan's disappointment almost overflowed from her throat and she remained silent for a moment.

Chen Fangzhou's 30-year mortgage is still uncertain whether it will be repaid until the year of the monkey or the month of the horse. In this lifetime, there may not be any conditions for going it alone.

Let's go, let's all go back to bed early. We still have to go to work tomorrow, "Chen Fangzhou waved his hand and dismissed a group of employees who had gathered after work and didn't go home.

The remaining Lily cautiously reached out and tugged at the hem of Jiang Xiaoyuan's clothes, "Hey, are you okay

Jiang Xiaoyuan shook her head and silently helped others pack up their cosmetics, ready to go back to her little dog house.

It's actually nothing, "she thought." If it's not possible, then it's not possible. After a year or so, I'll have mastered the art of hair styling and can find a place to work specifically in styling

Movie studios, magazines, clothing companies... where can't we go?

She never thought of staying in the hair salon forever, she would eventually leave here. At the moment when she was rejected by Boss Chen due to her poor start, Jiang Xiaoyuan still felt indescribable discomfort in her heart.

She struggled and pulled herself for a long time, finally finding a glimmer of light in herself. This wild way of craftsmanship was almost her only talent, but it was still not recognized by anyone.

For the first time in so many years, she has come to understand the feeling of 'missing out on talent'.

Lily hesitated in place for a moment, then caught up with her three or two steps at a time and said, "Xiaoyuan

Jiang Xiaoyuan forced a relatively calm expression and stopped to wait for her.

Lily has no ulterior motives. As her relationship with Jiang Xiaoyuan has improved recently and she admires the "knowledgeable" Jiang Xiaoyuan, she stood still and pondered for a while, trying her best to come up with a comforting sentence: "After all, this is a hair salon. With your skills, you can become a professional makeup artist in the future. I've heard that becoming a high-end makeup artist will make you super wealthy

Jiang Xiaoyuan raised her spirits and planned to listen attentively to the concept of 'super rich'.

Lily danced and said, 'I can earn over ten thousand a month!'

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Her gaze fell on the innocent face of her own "work", and for a moment she was speechless. Lily's sincere comfort made Jiang Xiaoyuan even more uneasy - Chen's refusal told her that her only talent could not impress others, while Lily's touch up told her that even if this "talent" was developed, it might still have no future.

For other industries, it may only be the starting salary level for graduates, but it is already at the top of this industry.

Faced with such a bleak future, Jiang Xiaoyuan's door has not yet entered, and she is already feeling a bit hopeless.

She once fantasized about stunning everyone with her first move, and then embarking on a path of being worshipped by everyone and commanding the wind and rain. When it was truly implemented, she realized that not only commanding the wind and rain, but also just "living a little human like" was already so difficult.

As soon as this idea came to her mind, Jiang Xiaoyuan's phone in her pocket shook. She took it out and saw that it was indeed another text message from an empty number asking 'whether to set off'. This virus is quite easy to crack.

Jiang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but abandon her upbringing and cursed, "Damn it

Then she angrily removed the phone battery.

Since Jiang Xiaoyuan said 'go back and consider', she hasn't contacted Qilian again.

Qilian didn't want to constantly harass others like that virus shining brightly, so she never took the initiative to contact her. However, more than ten days later, Jiang Xiaoyuan remained silent. Instead, on the second day of the hair salon's payday, she transferred a thousand yuan to his account - the second installment of the five thousand yuan debt.

She pays back the money on a monthly basis, and the meaning expressed here is very clear - Jiang Xiaoyuan refused everything he offered.

Qilian was a bit surprised, because in retrospect, every time he saw Jiang Xiaoyuan, she had the ability to make herself very embarrassed, like a stray cat that had just started wandering and had not yet developed its own survival ability, still maintaining an outdated arrogance.

Qilian understands this inexperienced arrogance, which is like an untested blade that may look sharp, but in reality, it can easily break with just one twist. Young people like Jiang Xiaoyuan, who suffer from princess illness, always feel that their self-esteem is higher than the sky at first, but this is mostly not because she is so strong willed, but because she does not know how much hardship it takes to maintain this self-esteem. The ignorant are fearless.

The set of clothes he bought for Jiang Xiaoyuan, although with a slightly frightening taste, indirectly expressed his opinion on Jiang Xiaoyuan.

The fact also proved that Qilian was probably right - if he hadn't been worried for a moment that evening and rushed to take a look, maybe she had already replied to the text message with a lack of determination, as the virus intended.

So what is this cat thinking? Qilian suddenly became curious.

After work, Qilian drove directly to Mr. Chen's hair salon. As soon as he entered, he happened to see Jiang Xiaoyuan curling a customer's hair - she may not be used to the smell of perm solution, a little allergic, and her eyes were red from the smoke, like a rabbit, but she still did it meticulously.

Qilian didn't rush forward to disturb him, but the front desk noticed him.

The receptionist on duty asked, "Sir, have you made an appointment

Qilian: "Find the ark and ask him to also fix my hair

As soon as Chen Fangzhou heard that Qilian was coming, he left behind other guests and personally washed his hair. He took him to a relatively quiet corner, took off his glasses and put them aside. Qilian's sharp facial features were revealed under his hair.

Chen Fangzhou scrutinized his face and asked, "How about a Korean style texture perm

Qilian: "Get lost

Chen Fangzhou: "What about Eason Chan's hairstyle? Oh! By the way, the retro improved big back hairstyle has become popular again this year. It's a must-have for male idols. Your hairline looks good, and it will definitely look very small and fresh when worn. How about giving it a try

Xiao Qingxin gave him a murderous look and said, "Cut it as it is. Dare to touch my head and chop off your paws

Chen Fangzhou: "..."

He put his hand into his pocket and said, "Cut it short? It's 80 yuan. I'll call an intern technician for you and it'll be done in 20 minutes - your relative's younger sister has just started cutting her hair, so she's suitable for practicing with someone as easy as you

Qilian sat still and said, 'One more word of nonsense -'

Chen Fangzhou's timidity was faster than the speed of light: "Okay, I'll cut it short for you as it is

He walked forward like an angry daughter-in-law, reluctantly grabbing Qilian's head a few times, casually twisting his hair and observing for a moment, showing a shovel like expression, and reluctantly began to fix it.

Qilian: "How is she

Who? "Chen Fangzhou paused for a moment, then reacted and shrugged nonchalantly." Maybe a little depressed, right

Qilian frowned slightly and asked, "What's so frustrating about

Chen Fangzhou didn't answer immediately. With ten fingers flying up and down, he deftly trimmed off half of Qilian's hair like a shadow free hand, flowing with clouds and water, even with a mysterious rhythm that could be classified as art.

After finishing half of his breath, he moved his steps and said nonchalantly, "When I first came here, I didn't adapt well. I was studying and familiar with people, so I didn't have time to think too much. Now that I've stabilized, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart. Do you think about Master Qi? She's a young and light girl, and I don't know how long the second half of her life will be. When she saw the end of her future at a glance, what did she feel

Qilian frowned.

Chen Fangzhou said, "Actually, everyone is the same. They struggle day and night without seeing where their way out is. It's frustrating. Those of us who have something to do temporarily and are relatively stable are also frustrated. We look at the people around us every day and feel like we've been like this for the rest of our lives, anxious and unwilling. Of course, it will be uncomfortable. After that period of time, it will be better. Your sister seems to be someone who has been depressed and still thinks blindly. A few days ago, she even urged me to develop a specialized styling and makeup business in the store. Tsk

Qilian: "How did she remember to do this

Chen Fangzhou said, "She does have some tricks in her hands, but having tricks in front of me is useless. It doesn't matter if I talk about increasing business in the store

Qilian fell silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke up, "You can add her, it's okay

Chen Fangzhou was stunned and said, "... ah

I suggest you find a way to add this business to her, "Qilian said calmly." I'll figure out a way to tell your boss later

Chen Fangzhou: "What do you say

Just say my mom came to your store and happened to have something to do. She asked the little girl here to paint her makeup and thought it was good when she went back. Next time she comes, she also wants to introduce more customers, "Qilian improvised without changing her expression." Your boss is a dishonest merchant. After listening to it today, he will have to worry about opening a new business and collecting money tomorrow... Oh, by the way, if that's really the case, don't tell anyone that I said it

Chen Fangzhou ground the scissors until they creaked, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I hate rich people the most

Three days later, just as Jiang Xiaoyuan thought the road was blocked and was painfully rethinking her future path, the main store issued a notice asking each branch to take the upcoming Christmas as an opportunity to fully carry out pre promotion work, send dedicated personnel back to the main store for training, and carry out follow-up makeup and styling management business. A pilot project should be launched before the Chinese New Year.

When she received the training notice, Jiang Xiaoyuan couldn't believe it. Is this a rhythm that needs to be adjusted?
