Fu Jin went to see Tang Beibei to talk about their costumes and props for the New Yearâs Eve performance.
He recommended that they fine-tune their costumes and hire a makeup artist.
Fu Jin explained, âThe makeup artists hired by the school are quite cheap. The products they use arenât very good. A few performers who used their makeup had allergic reactions. Your performance requires theatrical makeup, which is difficult to do well yourself. To avoid mishaps, itâs better to hire your own makeup artist.â
âAlright, Iâll figure something out with Qiqi.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Tang Beibei took notes and discussed the matter with Ruan Qi. Ruan Qi said that they would need a professional makeup artist for their makeup because if it wasnât done well, they might really look like prostitutes in a brothel.
Tang Beibei glanced at her. She didnât need to be so dramatic, right?
Ruan Qi shrugged. She was telling the truth. After all, the modified Han period costumes were rather skimpy, baring their midriffs and shoulders. It was hard for people to not to think that way.
Tang Beibei stopped talking to Ruan Qi, afraid that she would say something shocking. She quickly texted Song Zhou and asked him for help.
Song Zhou replied her immediately and told her to leave things to him. He would get the costumes altered and find them a makeup artist.
The New Yearâs Eve party would be held before the New Yearâs holiday.
Students started going backstage in the afternoon to set up their props, check out the venue, even to rehearse on stage.
Tang Beibei also went there to check out the stage. When Song Zhou arrived with the makeup artist, she was surprised to someone she knew.
The makeup artist Song Zhou brought along was Miss Fang, the creative director who designed her hairstyle last time.
âHello, Miss Fang. Sorry to trouble you.â
Fang Han shook Tang Beibeiâs hand and nodded politely. She glanced at Song Zhou and said with a chuckle, âNo trouble at all. Iâm being paid to do your makeup.â
Tang Beibei saw that Miss Fang was dressed very well. Her outfit was of high quality and very unique, so she asked tentatively, âWhatâs the fee amount we agreed on?â
Fang Han replied, âOh, not much. 50 yuan per person, 100 yuan for two. Plus the costume design, alterations and head pieces, itâs only about 200 yuan.â
Song Zhou echoed with a chuckle. âDonât worry, Young Madam. These are market prices. Not too expensive.â
Tang Beibei had also asked around. The price Fang Han mentioned was indeed not high.
âThank you, Miss Fang.â
Fang Han smiled and asked her to find a seat so she could start doing her makeup.
When Ruan Qi came by, she saw Fang Han opening a large professional makeup case. It was filled with branded products, even some luxury items that money could not buy.
âFifty yuan per person?â Ruan Qi looked at Song Zhou doubtfully.
âYes.â Song Zhou replied with a straight face.
âHaha, thatâs pretty good.â
Tang Beibei was usually focused on her studies and did not pay much attention to makeup unlike Ruan Qi, who knew that this makeup case held products that were highly coveted by most girls.
After the two of them were fully costumed with their makeup done, Ruan Qi immediately suggested that they make a video for this weekâs vlog update.
Tang Beibei agreed. They found a place with good lighting and did a classical dance. Their figures were enchanting and their eyes were seductive.
They really looked like pixies that appeared out of nowhere. Song Zhou, who was helping them with extra shots, could not take his eyes off them.
Fang Han didnât even suck on the lollipop in her mouth as she watched the two of them dance. She patted Song Zhouâs shoulder and said, âSigh, your young master is so lucky to have married such a seductive young lady. No wonder he wants to spoil her.â
Song Zhou looked at the camera. She didnât know who he was looking at. He just nodded and replied, âYes, Young Master is very blessed.â
âTsk, this dancer girl⦠Her figure, her face, amazing. Even I am tempted by just looking at her, let alone your young master.â
After they were done shooting the video, the girls quickly put on their down jackets. Although there was heating in the room, it wasnât turned up and the room still felt cold.
When Fu Jin came by and saw their costumes and makeup, he wouldnât hide the amazement in his eyes.
âWow.â he praised.
âThis is all thanks to Miss Fang. She is very skillful.â
Fang Han sucked on her lollipop. Of course. She was a stylist who had done makeup at fashion week.
However, to keep up with her pretense of a cheap makeup artist, she said with a chuckle, âItâs because the two young ladies are beautiful to begin with. I just did a little touch-up. Iâm glad that you like it.â
When Fu Jin heard Fang Hanâs voice, he finally noticed her and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Fang Han was a very famous stylist and image consultant to many artistes. Her services didnât come cheap.
He glanced at Song Zhou. Some things didnât need to be said.
Fu Jin said, âLetâs record a video together. There will be a live broadcast of the party tonight.â
After setting up their phones, the three of them danced. Fu Jin was in the center position and looked especially eye-catching.
Fang Han was drooling as she watched him dance. She patted Song Zhouâs shoulder and said, âHey, this kid is not bad. Three minutes. I want all his information. Iâll waive my charges this time.â
Song Zhou looked at her strangely. âYou like him just like that?â
âHeâs handsome, he dances well, and he has such a good figure. Heâs like an Adonis. I like!â Fang Han was very candid.
Song Zhou send her a brief bio of Fu Jin and said, âI havenât found out details about his background. If youâ¦â
âHey, what you sent me is good enough. Iâm not marrying him so whatâs the point of knowing the details? If we are really compatible in bed, heâll naturally talk to me about marriage and meeting his parents.â
Song Zhou thought that Ruan Qi was bold, but she paled in comparison to Fang Han.
Fang Han saw that he was still looking at her and winked at him. âWhy are you looking at me like that? Please donât fall for me. I donât like fake gentlemen like you who are polite on the outside but holds goodness knows how much evil thoughts inside.â
Song Zhou laughed in frustration. âYou have misunderstood me. What do you mean by fake gentleman?â
Fang Han pursed her lips. âDonât think that I donât know. Your young master isnât a saint. What you said in the parking lot last time was to sow discord between me and Jiang Minglang.â
Fang Hanâs tone was slightly disdainful as she gave Song Zhou a look.
âHe looks harmless on the surface, like a good-for-nothing, but I think that heâs an extremely scheming person. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. You canât be a saint either.â
Song Zhou shrugged helplessly to express his innocence.
Ruan Qi secretly gritted her teeth and flung her sleeves as she watched Song Zhou chat happily with another woman. When she left the activity room, she deliberately knocked into the man.
Song Zhou took a step back and looked at her in confusion, but the woman gave him the cold shoulder.
Song Zhou sighed softly. He was confused as he didnât know how he had offended her again.
âOh my. This girl likes you, huh?â
âWhy do you say that?â
Fang Han pointed at her eyes. âWhen 1 was talking to you just now, she kept staring at you, almost shooting poison with her eyes. Tsk, tsk, young girls nowadays have such bad tempers.â
âBut this young girl is also lively, beautiful, and quirky. Hurry up and chase after her.â
Fang Han was such an extrovert and had no filter when she spoke.
Song Zhou pursed his lips. Of course, he wanted to chase after her. But the young master said that he must first make her break up with the other guy, which made him feel hesitant.
It was almost time. Song Zhou went to pick up Jiang Jingchen for the New Yearâs Eve party..
