Chapter 54

When Jiang Xiaoyuan first saw the four words "Spring Bride", she actually had some inspiration.

Spring is fresh, and the bride is sweet. The two requirements contained in the title are clear at a glance.

For female stylists, "freshness" and "sweetness" are usually their strengths. Even if they are not professionals, they have a lot of experience in dressing up themselves. This question can be said to be easy to solve, but when Jiang Xiaoyuan exhausted herself from dealing with Jiang Bo's clients, holding a messy sketchbook and daydreaming in the studio's living room, her creative mind suddenly became empty, like a looted house with nothing left.

How to do 'Spring Bride'? Is it green and white?

Jiang Xiaoyuan saw the advertisement for "making milk tea" in front of her, and she felt like she was not doing well.

At this moment, Jiang Bo finally strolled out of the lounge like a wandering soul. He braved the urge to wake up and walked to the sofa. He kicked Jiang Xiaoyuan's calf with his foot and ordered, "Go order takeout for me

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "..."

When Jiang Xiaoyuan returned from the takeout call, she found the Empress Dowager sitting on the sofa, reviewing the preliminary plan she had just discussed with the client.

Jiang Xiaoyuan's heart skipped a beat and she thought, "It's time to rest

She was completely out of shape just now, absent-minded all the time. The rough plan she barely outlined could fool the inexperienced clients, but she couldn't fool Teacher Jiang.

Teacher Jiang never cares about rubbing sand in his work, and it doesn't matter how he behaves in private. If he doesn't do a good job, he has to wait for him to clean up.

Sure enough, in the next second, Jiang Bo threw her tattered sketchbook onto the table, raised his sharp eyebrows and eyes high up, and suppressed the surging fire below fiercely. Shanyu asked eagerly, "What is this

Jiang Xiaoyuan was speechless.

Jiang Bo: "Where's the recording pen? Give it to me

When communicating plans with clients, sometimes in order to ensure that the stylist's subsequent ideas do not go wrong, they need to record the conversation with a recording after obtaining the client's consent.

Jiang Xiaoyuan knew that her client was indeed not attentive, so she couldn't help but feel even more uneasy. She grabbed a recording pen from the wall and nervously handed it to Teacher Jiang.

Jiang Bo gave her a disdainful glance, plugged in his headphones, and sat on the sofa with a heavy face, flipping through Jiang Xiaoyuan's graffiti like plans while listening, as if ready to show his paws and scratch her face at any moment.

Jiang Xiaoyuan didn't even dare to breathe loudly. In the middle, she tiptoed out to pick up the takeout once, and her conversation with the delivery person seemed like an underground worker's connection. The little girl was scared and accepted the money before running away.

She arranged the takeout in a row like a eunuch and placed it in front of Teacher Jiang. She dared not kneel down without permission and stood aside dejectedly, waiting to be scolded.

Half an hour later, Jiang Bo put down his sketchbook and recording pen, pushed the sketchbook to Jiang Xiaoyuan, and silently ate his own food.

Jiang Xiaoyuan bravely took it over and read through the plan added by Teacher Jiang from beginning to end. She had to admit that she was really serious. There were many things she wanted, but she was distracted and didn't write them up at the time.

Jiang Bo didn't know how long he had been hungry. He finished a meal in a few bites, wiped his mouth, and knocked on the table, saying, "Take it and pour me a glass of water

Jiang Xiaoyuan silently tidied up the table and poured him a glass of water.

Jiang Bo: "I won't pursue this matter with you for now. Are you all focused on the preliminary round? What, do you think the selection method of the preliminary round has disappointed you

Jiang Xiaoyuan felt that she was not a cynical person and knew the ways of the world, but suddenly she couldn't overcome this hurdle in her heart.

Is it meaningless for a person, wearing stars and moon, to be moved even by themselves in front of the organizing committee? Can others easily turn away those who have put in so much effort and effort solely based on their relationships and connections?

So she remained silent for a moment.

Jiang Bo: "Your disappointment is not worth a penny. Hurry up and accept it, no one will buy it. Wait until one day your name appears on the high ranking seat of the competition organizing committee, and then we can talk about whether you can stand it or not. Now? Hehe

On that day, Jiang Bo didn't shout or curse, just let her go with a cold laugh of "hehe". Jiang Xiaoyuan felt even more uneasy, feeling more comfortable than being subjected to a roar.

Empress Dowager Chiang lifted her chin slightly and said, "Go down and get to work

Jiang Xiaoyuan packed her sketchbook and walked away against the wall.

In the next three days, Jiang Xiaoyuan began to work on her preliminary competition plan. After finishing it, she had to show it to Empress Dowager Jiang, who nodded before finalizing it. Unexpectedly, Jiang Bo seemed to have reached menopause and was always in trouble with her.

The first proposal——

Your nail art is called 'Spring Bride'? Whose bride is it? Spider Essence wants to marry Black Mountain Old Demon! Take it back and redo it. Nail art is a combination, it's better not to do it if it doesn't match well

Jiang Xiaoyuan removed the nail art in the second plan as instructed.

Jiang Bo said again, "Do you want the bride to stretch out her bare hands to welcome the warm spring flowers? Do it again

The third plan——

No, it's too complicated on her head. Are you going to put a phoenix crown and rosy robe on her head? And the color is too heavy, like a ghost wedding

The fourth part——

It's bland and tasteless, leaving no impression on people after reading it. Do you think that just being 'white' is beautiful? Are you whiter than wall coverings and toilet paper

When the fifth plan came out, it was already the evening of the third day. Just as Jiang Bo was about to finish work, Jiang Xiaoyuan had just finished. She ran all the way to the door and said, "Teacher Jiang

Jiang Bo stepped on the threshold with one foot and casually glanced back at the words. This time, he didn't even need to comment and simply commented, "What the hell

Jiang Xiaoyuan has been tortured by him for several days and is not far from going crazy. She retorted angrily, "If you hand this over, no one might even look at it. You said it yourself

Jiang Bo stood still and looked at her coldly, "Can you just do whatever you want without anyone watching

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "..."

She didn't actually think that way in her heart. She even devoted herself to her personal work and made repeated revisions. How could she not take the competition seriously? She just became restless and spoke angrily for a moment.

Jiang Xiaoyuan simply wished she would never do bridal makeup again in her life. It's annoying to think about it, and no matter how much love is repeatedly worn away.

Jiang Bo: "You can judge the outcome of something you do, but the work is not good. Once you show it to others, your level will be judged in their eyes. If you think your personal image doesn't matter, it's up to you to make it this way. I asked you to come up with a plan within three days, but it has been postponed now. If it doesn't work tomorrow, you don't have to go out and embarrass me anymore

After speaking, he didn't even give a hint, closed the door, turned around and walked away.

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "..."

She was left alone in the vast duplex studio.

She works here and lives here, and over time there has been an illusion that her life is confined to this small space.

Jiang Xiaoyuan took a few steps back with her plan and sat down on the ground.

Aesthetics is difficult to say. Everyone has their own preferences. If you think it's beautiful, others may not necessarily think so. Unlike those who practice sports and have a fixed set of performance measurement methods, higher and faster is better.

Jiang Xiaoyuan has done countless sets of bridal makeup, and after looking at the plan for a long time, she almost feels that she no longer knows the word "bride". She has no idea which direction to change it in.

Jiang Xiaoyuan reached out her finger and inserted it into her hair, tightly grasping the root of the hair.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoyuan thought, "Maybe I just don't have much talent

Stylists and art are interconnected, and even styling itself is a form of art. However, art is different from other things. While other things may be moved by efforts that can move the heavens and achieve success, art is not enough. Just a little inspiration is missing, it's just that the sky and the earth are so far apart. As the old saying goes, 'Grandmasters don't reward food.' In the future, it will be the difference between 'masters' and' craftsmen '.

What's the point of a person dedicating their entire life to becoming a skilled craftsman?

Empress Dowager Chiang didn't say anything, in fact, it was useless for him to say it. It was just a little bit lacking in level and not easy to comprehend. Jiang Xiaoyuan would never know what the gap she saw through Jiang Bo's gaze was. There seemed to be a natural barrier between her and Jiang Bo.

This made her extremely frustrated, her brain like a car that couldn't catch fire no matter what, almost unable to calm down and think about anything.

At the beginning of entering a certain field, it is impossible to know if one has talent, as long as one works hard.

But once the level reaches a certain level, it reaches a bottleneck period. Jiang Xiaoyuan vaguely feels that the cruel moment of competing for talent has arrived. She finally completed her long journey and opened the gift box given to her by heaven. How ironic it would be to find that there was nothing inside?

Jiang Xiaoyuan walked around the room irritably, grabbed her coat, and ran out.

She walked aimlessly along the street, lost in thought and hanging in mid air, thinking, "Otherwise, I'll just focus on doing wedding beauty. I'll do it openly and honestly in the future, without stealing time to do private work. If I specialize in it, I can earn an average of six or seven thousand yuan a month. It's possible to earn tens of thousands of yuan during the wedding season in the 50th month every year. Even ordinary makeup artists with high incomes can do it this way. Aren't you satisfied

Anyway, she and her grandmother have more than enough to live in this city.

At this thought, everything suddenly became flat in front of her, and the visible obstacles and anxieties disappeared from her in an instant. She could see the bottom of life at a glance.

Jiang Xiaoyuan looked up and realized that she had walked to the hair salon where she had worked at some point.

At this point, the evening focus interview was almost over, and there were still many people in the hair salon. Jiang Xiaoyuan walked in inexplicably, and the front desk greeted her smoothly, "Welcome... Oh my! It's Teacher Xiaoyuan

Jiang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but cough awkwardly and say, "Um... I'll take care of it

A figure darted out and grabbed Jiang Xiaoyuan's arm, saying, "Why did you come back

Jiang Xiaoyuan lowered her head and looked at Lily's round face, feeling a bit embarrassed as she said, "Let's cut my hair. I haven't taken care of it for a long time, and I want to fix the ends of my hair

Lily chuckled and said, "You don't know how to fix the ends of your hair yourself. You've already come, why don't you just do some scalp care

The basic scalp care is 6491 yuan. Jiang Xiaoyuan is in the stage of entrepreneurship and saving money, and this kind of consumption is really not in line with her self positioning. Just as she was about to refuse, Lily said, "Forty nine... I'll charge you fifty yuan, even for the care and repair

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "Is our store about to close down

Lily: "Internal employee prices, don't talk about those empty ones

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoyuan immediately followed in, bouncing and jumping, as if there was an advantage to not take advantage of.

For the first twenty years, she worked as a VIP customer in and out of hair salons for only half a year. Now, after a year, she has returned to being a customer and is not used to it... the price is also a bit uncomfortable.

Mr. Chen is not here. Since his wife got pregnant, he has been distracted by work and has been circling around her all day long.

The employees in the store came out one after another to greet Jiang Xiaoyuan, even Xiao K waved his hand at her, and Helen smiled at her for the first time, saying "come more in the future".

Back then, I pinched my eyes like a black eyed chicken, and suddenly, it seemed like I naturally let go of any grudges.

Jiang Xiaoyuan handed her long hair to Lily and lay on the washbasin. She heard Lily ask, "How's the water temperature? Is this hand strength okay

She suddenly remembered the scene where Boss Chen taught her to love customers with the passion of loving her country, and burst into laughter.

Lily: "That's enough, please cooperate a bit

Of course, I would do my best to wash the hair of an acquaintance. Lily's massage technique seems to be much more proficient than before. Jiang Xiaoyuan asked, "When do you plan to become a senior technician

Lily paused for a moment and said, "Senior technicians have to pay for their own training. Let's talk about it

Jiang Xiaoyuan: "Isn't it great to receive some training? The cost can be recovered in one or two years, and learning the skills is always one's own

"One day is one day. Who knows how many years I can work?" Lily said, "My family urged me to go back to find a date years ago. I had a hard time saving this money. I ran out of training and could not get a two-and-a-half day salary rise when I came back. I quit my job and went back to go home... Why?"

Jiang Xiaoyuan remained silent.

I'm not as big of a person as you are, and I won't be able to take root in the city in the future. I have to go back. If I go back early, I can still find a good partner while I'm young. I envy you so much, "Lily paused and continued," I envy you so much

Jiang Xiaoyuan remembered the "freedom theory" she had talked to Jiang Bo about a while ago, and now that she was in this state again, she felt a little embarrassed and sneered, "It's all just fooling around

Lily shook her head and confidently said, "You will definitely make a lot of money in the future

Jiang Xiaoyuan couldn't help but laugh and cry. She remembered Lily's longing for the income level of a high-end makeup artist in the past, and roughly knew what the concept of "making big money" was in her mouth. According to Lily's standards, although Jiang Xiaoyuan was currently being dragged by the studio and couldn't meet this income standard, she really wanted to, but she was not powerless.

She suddenly realized that she had gone so far in the eyes of others.

After undergoing scalp care, the entire person's stagnant state and tightened temples seem to have been relieved, and they have become much more relaxed.

Jiang Xiaoyuan walked slowly back down the street and looked up to see the store where Qilian had bought clothes for her. She strolled in and was dazzled by the dazzling girlish style of the entire store. She flipped through the price tag and found that it was not cheap. She gave the inexplicable clerk a disdainful look and walked away with her hands behind her back.

The night breeze has already cooled a bit, "Jiang Xiaoyuan thought." What was she doing at this time last year?

Her restless heart suddenly sank, because looking back at the road she had walked in years, she found it far beyond her imagination.

As soon as I turned around, it seemed like a huge miracle was following me step by step, like a shadow.

Is it important for someone to have talent after walking this path?

The 'Spring Bride' must be fresh, without so many fancy tricks, with a hint of naive impulse.

We must never be indifferent, because our hearts are filled with jumping emotions... what kind of emotions are they?

Jiang Xiaoyuan slowed down her pace and aimlessly searched for similar tones in her life experiences. Immediately, a faint smell of rice vinegar seemed to linger on her nose.

It's like a bowl of noodles cooked to a very mediocre taste.

Jiang Xiaoyuan recalled in a trance for a moment, suddenly thinking, "When it comes to 'spring', it means lush greenery. Why can't I try warm tones
