Chapter 48

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "Do you want to stick diamonds

Ms. Fan: "What do you think, does it look good to stick diamonds

Of course it doesn't look good, "Jiang Xiaoyuan said bluntly." With your poorly maintained chicken feet, if you stick a drill on them, it would be like digging a claw into the sand

Of course, Ms. Fan could tell that she was speaking disrespectfully, but at this moment she showed great magnanimity. While letting Jiang Xiaoyuan toss her hands, she leaned back on the sofa with ease and said in a very good temper, "It seems like you don't believe what I'm saying

Jiang Xiaoyuan smiled faintly and said, "Whatever you say is fine

As she spoke, Jiang Xiaoyuan had already completed the basic care of her nails and finished the base coat. She didn't want to bother with her thin and withered hands, and she must have been a pair of pickled pepper and phoenix claws no matter how hard she tried. So she flicked her brush and tidied up her tools quickly, lifting her eyelids and saying, "If you let him come out and tell me he's sick, I'll believe it

Ms. Fan realized that Jiang Xiaoyuan was a person with a backbone, a bit tricky, and completely sided with Jiang Bo.

She immediately adjusted her strategy and patiently sat on the sofa waiting for her nails to dry completely. Instead of mentioning Jiang Bo to Jiang Xiaoyuan, she looked at her hands and said, "You do things very efficiently and have good taste

Jiang Xiaoyuan smiled and replied without hesitation, "I learned from Teacher Jiang

Ms. Fan didn't answer the conversation and didn't seem to hear at all. She asked Jiang Xiaoyuan, "Have you heard of the 'Sound and Sound Aesthetics Studio'

Jiang Xiaoyuan has certainly heard of it. It is a very famous styling brand in the industry, with a complete industry chain that covers everything from clothing to cosmetics. Although the boss is a behind the scenes worker, she is not willing to be lonely. She appears on variety shows day and night, and is said to have long-term cooperation with many top stars.

Ms. Fan said with a friendly expression, "Their boss is from Singapore and the headquarters is also there. However, they are optimistic about the mainland market. Recently, they have also established a headquarters in mainland China and are recruiting. I have a friend who happens to work as a supervisor there. If you are willing, I can recommend you to go there. The specific position depends on your qualifications. If you have enough professional qualifications, you can directly work as an intern stylist, otherwise you may have to work as an assistant for a period of time

Ms. Fan glanced at Jiang Xiaoyuan's toolbox and said sincerely, "You have been working at the school all along, so getting a professional qualification should still be within reach. What do you think

The position of the "Sound and Color" studio in the Asian styling and beauty industry is like that of Microsoft to software, Google to IT, Goldman Sachs to finance... It is a well-known leading brand, and every stylist it produces has no worries about sales. It is simply a golden signboard.

Is it really possible to enter the realm of "sensuality" and still need to try every means possible to dress up knockoffs every day? Do we still have to worry every day about when we can earn enough money to bring our grandmother over?

For Jiang Xiaoyuan, a new fish and shrimp, she looks up at the "sound and color", just like a roadside pancake vendor looking up at the Michelin 3-star opposite the door.

Despite making up her mind to fight against the pervert disguised as a human, Jiang Xiaoyuan's heart trembled involuntarily.

She quickly steadied her turbulent inner world and thought to herself, "If there's nothing to be attentive to, it's either rape or theft

Ms. Fan doesn't mind Jiang Xiaoyuan's guarded attitude at all, "she said with a smile," Come on, give me a makeup, evening makeup, I'll see how it goes

She is like an examiner who guides the younger generation, her speech and behavior are very comfortable.

Even as adults, sometimes we have to examine ourselves based on the feedback of others' attitudes towards us. Ms. Fan's overly friendly attitude made Jiang Xiaoyuan's heart beat with excitement. As the saying goes, "a slap won't make a sound." The other party's tolerant and gentle attitude made it almost impossible for Jiang Xiaoyuan to maintain her sarcastic attitude.

The verbal exchange between the two just now seems to be an illusion of Jiang Xiaoyuan alone.

She immediately began to doubt whether all the negative impressions she had of Ms. Fan when she entered the door were based on preconceived biases?

Is the information obtained from the Qilian survey necessarily correct?

This Ms. Fan is a middle-aged divorced woman who is single with a half grown boy who is not her biological child. If she is both wealthy and promiscuous, it is normal for her to attract some gossip from others, right?

Sometimes when there are too many rumors spread like they are true, may Qilian's listening be biased?

I can't think about this, the more I think about it, the more I realize it's possible.

Jiang Xiaoyuan's cold face couldn't hold on any longer, so she silently started to tidy up Ms. Fan's regular makeup and even styled her hair.

After finishing the work, Ms. Fan carefully examined herself in the mirror with a very serious expression, which made Jiang Xiaoyuan a little nervous, wondering if her work was not dedicated enough.

Not bad, "Ms. Fan said," are you different from other stylists? You have a good sense of color and have studied art

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "Hmm

Her mood was a bit complicated, even Teacher Jiang didn't notice it, but Ms. Fan noticed the clues at a glance.

Ms. Fan turned her head in surprise and looked at Jiang Xiaoyuan warmly, "Tell me what you have learned

Printmaking, oil painting, watercolor... and pottery, "Jiang Xiaoyuan said," I have learned a little bit

Ms. Fan sighed and said, "It's both a waste of talent and a unique advantage for someone who studies art to do this job. Little girl, please cherish your talent and keep going

The words were almost serious and heartfelt, and Jiang Xiaoyuan retreated another city in embarrassment, almost losing her army, despite all her defenses against her.

But you have to remember, "Ms. Fan continued earnestly," as a stylist, talent is important, but the most important thing is not talent, it's networking. You have to know that opening a small and unknown studio in this place has no future. Where are the clients? Who will promote you? If this studio is limited to the local area in the future, even if it dies, in less than a year and a half, you will have to dig your brains to compete with local wedding photography studios for bridal makeup - I have seen many young people like you who start their businesses with great ambitions at first, but later fail and achieve few results. Most of them are yellow and not that easy

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "..."

The words went to her heart.

Jiang Xiaoyuan is someone who has distributed flyers on the roadside. There is no one who understands how difficult it is to start from scratch better than her.

In this city, countless studios and small shops register every day, but after three to five months, they basically disappear without a trace, making it difficult to continue.

If a large platform or company wants to do a project, it's too easy and a good decision is enough, but it's too difficult for a private small company, and most likely it will be washed away by the waves.

Speaking of which, opening a studio doesn't necessarily guarantee income from roadside pancake stalls.

Jiang Xiaoyuan has always been afraid to think too much about these things. Thinking too much can easily shake and damage her mobility. Unexpectedly, she was completely exposed to Ms. Fan.

Ms. Fan said, "Think about it. I have been eating for decades more than you, and I have seen it many times. Entrepreneurship is always simple from top to bottom, and from bottom to top, it is highly likely to fail. Do you know what it means to start from top to bottom

Jiang Xiaoyuan remained silent.

At the beginning, you relied on a well-known platform, studied hard for a few years, familiarized yourself with the industry on this platform, accumulated good talent, and then went it alone. This is the right way. It's not possible for you to be so stubborn, "Ms. Fan asked patiently." Think about it, is that the truth

Jiang Xiaoyuan is irrefutable and speechless.

Ms. Fan looked at Jiang Xiaoyuan's face in the mirror and felt that this girl was too young, too young to be hated, but also easy to deceive. She could be swayed by a few words.

Young people think about only a few things all day long - they can't wait to achieve success, their vague ideals and love. What else can they have?

Ms. Fan then added another flame and said, "Look at me. I was thinking that my son was grateful for your care and wanted to give you a favor. Now, look, I'm really unnecessary. There are too many skilled people, but few with spiritual energy. Take a photo of me and send it to them later. They won't even have time to welcome you, so there's no need for me to recommend him

Jiang Xiaoyuan struggled and asked, "Auntie, I don't know anyone. Why are you helping me like this

Ms. Fan held her temples in her hand and said, "I didn't help you. You helped yourself. I haven't been so beautiful in years. The little girl is really amazing

Every word she said was incredibly soothing, and for a moment, Jiang Xiaoyuan herself felt like an unparalleled beauty master, making people feel like they were old friends at first sight and stunning everyone with her every move. Everyone couldn't help but cherish her talent.

Jiang Xiaoyuan lowered her head slightly and glanced at the house where Jiang Bo had lived. The decoration style of the entire villa was like a single apartment for a young girl, without any trace of male life. Ms. Fan was like a spider, spreading her web everywhere, and no wind or grass could escape her eyes. She could flip her hands to cover the clouds and rain at any time.

Jiang Xiaoyuan suddenly asked directly, "Just because you don't want me and Jiang Bo to establish our own studio

Ms. Fan was slightly stunned, then she smiled meaningfully, stood up elegantly, and walked up to the second floor in front of Jiang Xiaoyuan. She took out a key and opened the tightly closed door.

The room door was deep and dark, with all the curtains drawn and not a single glimmer. The ground was covered in broken porcelain shards, and a figure sat in the shadow, unable to see who it was... but one could guess.

Ms. Fan spoke softly and said, "You, if you can't do things well, forget about it. If you're left alone for a while, you can even break the cup. What else can you do

Jiang Bo remained silent.

Ms. Fan asked herself and answered, "You don't even have the ability to take care of yourself. I spoil you at home and expect other girls to accommodate you outside... Is that funny? Come out and hide your friends when they come, what do you look like

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "..."

Jiang Bo glanced at Jiang Xiaoyuan from the dim little room.

Jiang Xiaoyuan's heart trembled - how can I describe that look in her eyes?

She remembered a little joke she had read before, where she tied the little elephant to a wooden stake. If she kept it there, it would grow up and have strength, but it wouldn't be able to break free anymore.

How could a normal elephant not break free from a small wooden stake?

Perhaps from the moment it was tied to that wooden stake, it was no longer a 'normal' elephant.

Ms. Fan's toes touched the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, making a small soft sound. Jiang Bo trembled noticeably and instinctively squatted down to pick them up.

Jiang Xiaoyuan stood dumbfounded downstairs, wondering who that was?

Even if the soy sauce bottle is poured, don't you know how to support Empress Dowager Chiang?

Ms. Fan pulled up Jiang Bo. She didn't use much force, but as soon as she reached out her hand, Jiang Bo followed her gestures like a tamed animal, showing a deep-rooted sense of training.

Ms. Fan sighed, lifted her hand, and gently placed it on Jiang Bo's thin and pale profile. She said sorrowfully, "I divorced again for you. When can you make people feel more at ease

Jiang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but interject abruptly, "Have you been like this all along

Jiang Bo's gaze turned downstairs and landed on Jiang Xiaoyuan, quickly moving away as if his gaze had been burned.

Ms. Fan: "I admit that I have failed in this regard. He suffered from a serious illness when he was a child and has never been very efficient... Speaking of which, the earliest he started doing this job was when I asked a friend to teach him. I always feel that he has a timid personality and thinks too much. I don't want him to grow up like those wild boys and become a stinky man who smokes and talks dirty. I have paved many paths for him, introduced many people, and specially asked someone to teach him... But look, he still can't do anything well

Jiang Xiaoyuan's spine trembled - to some extent, Ms. Fan was almost successful.

Generally, after leaving adolescence, adult men either develop muscles or fat, and few people will retain the thinness unique to their youth. However, Jiang Bo has always been slender, as if his body has activated some indescribable mechanism, keeping his time forever in the old and youthful era.

Ms. Fan: "I also want to start my own family, but I can't. Without him, I can't do anything

As she spoke, she lovingly stepped on her high heels, tiptoed slightly, and touched Jiang Bo's injured forehead, saying, "I'm all for you

When someone is surrounded by encouragement, they still occasionally have self doubt. Jiang Xiaoyuan finds it hard to imagine what would happen if someone had been instilling in her ears for decades, saying 'You can't leave me', 'You can't succeed in anything you do', and 'You're not born for this kind of material'.

Ms. Fan, with a gentle condemnation, said to Jiang Bo, "Even if you want to mess around, don't delay others

Jiang Bo lowered his head and stared closely at the gaps in the floor, his body shaking like a fallen leaf in the wind.

Jiang Xiaoyuan knew she had to speak.

Sorry, if you're referring to me, I think working with Teacher Jiang is pretty good. We can learn a lot, "Jiang Xiaoyuan put her hand in the pocket of her shorts." I also strongly encouraged the idea of opening a studio. We plan to study special effects abroad in the future. Although your lengthy speech just now makes sense, I think based on our current customer resources, it should be no problem to support ourselves

Ms. Fan: "I thought we had already agreed earlier that we couldn't even impress you with our 'demeanor'

Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't even look at her and said, "Teacher Jiang, could you please talk to me for a moment? What are you pretending to be autistic children

Jiang Bo struggled to squeeze out a sentence from his throat: "You go back first, we can talk later

Although Jiang Xiaoyuan stood under the stairs and lifted her head, she miraculously did not appear weak at all: "I think it would be better if we explained it clearly today. Maybe in a few days, I can go to work under the masters of sound and color

Jiang Bo was stiff like a wooden stake.

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "She said you're sick, are you

Jiang Bo involuntarily shook the hand hanging beside him.

Jiang Xiaoyuan said, "If you make a sound now and say that you are sick and the studio doesn't want to work anymore, and you want to live a mentally ill life in a small dark room every day, then I will leave immediately. I will send back your documents tomorrow, go as far as you can

Ms. Fan shook Jiang Bo's arm coquettishly and said, "Why didn't you say anything when someone asked you

Jiang Bo's lips were pale as if they had been painted.

Ms. Fan: "Miss Jiang, I didn't even know his documents were with you. Please return them to me as soon as possible. His situation is legally called a 'person with limited capacity for civil conduct', and as his guardian

The judicial process has determined that he is sick, so he is sick. Don't rush to take responsibility on yourself, Auntie, "Jiang Xiaoyuan interrupted her." Forgive me for my clumsiness, but when you're not around, Teacher Jiang is not only normal, but also quite able to control everything. You said he can't do anything well. Did you hear a customer complain to you, or did you think he suddenly grew up beyond your control and couldn't take it anymore

Ms. Fan's cheeks twitched slightly.

Jiang Xiaoyuan leaned back and reached out to press the lid of the toolbox.

To be honest with you, "Jiang Xiaoyuan said," Sound and demeanor are nothing to me. Who cares about working for them? One day, the best styling studio in Asia will be the one I founded today - Jiang Bo. Do you remember the name of the studio
