"Ah Wei, you're here! I've been waiting for ages. Huh? Why didn't you bring me any jackfruit?" Cheng Fuyue was quick-witted. She went straight up to Jie Wei, hooked her arm around his, and secretly gave him a wink.

“I want to watch a movie with you. Let’s go out to eat. Will Boss Qin give us time off?” Jiewei immediately chimed in.

"Go ahead, it's raining again anyway, and there's hardly anyone around." Qin Xiaoyu said reluctantly. The two young people walked out without any hesitation.

“Xiaoyu, you still need to bring this up in the next meeting. No matter how much you emphasize it, it won’t work. They always use work time to go on dates. It’s too much.” Master Liang quickly added two more blows. “Boss Gao, you should also manage your employees. They’re always coming here.”

Old ginger is spicier. It would be best if Gao Daxiong fired Jie Wei in a fit of anger, otherwise it would confirm that the two were dating, and Jie Wei would have a legitimate reason to run to Qin Xiaoyu's place all the time.

Whether out of gratitude for Cheng Fuyue's intervention or because Jiewei couldn't bear to embarrass her any longer, the two of them became inseparable from then on, their fake relationship turning into a real one.

Cheng Fuyue achieved her goal and was in a great mood, and from then on she became much more well-behaved.

Factory Director Xie's business is doing the best; he keeps calling to urge them to buy some new machines, especially fully automatic embroidery machines.

Qin Xiaoyu had been wanting the new machine for a while, but she wasn't sure she could handle it, so she asked her cousin to come over.

My cousin brought two models with him on this trip, Hu Xing and Da Ya. This is because he wasn't satisfied with the photos taken for the summer clothing posters.

Xu Jingye wasn't in his hometown, so Wang Lei handled all the poster shooting. Tang Fengqin's belly is now too big for her to be a model. Xiao Mengting was also very busy; she rushed back once for a two-day shoot, but the results were mediocre, and only a few usable photos were selected.

Elsewhere it's alright, but Qin Xiaoye keeps urging us. At the Shanghai counter, there's not a single good poster, it's really hard to survive, it's directly dragging down the fashion's image.

So Qin Xiaoyu decided to have them bring their fashion items for the photoshoot.

Xu Jingye put aside his work and spent the whole day filming with them. Qin Xiaoyu, who followed along, noticed a problem. It wasn't entirely Wang Lei's technique that was the issue; it was Hu Xing and Da Ya's faces that were problematic.

Their features are all considered striking, but their individual characteristics aren't very distinct, and they're still quite young to carry the look. Therefore, makeup is needed to enhance their appearance.

Tian Tian's beauty school has makeup classes, but the skills of both the teachers and students are mediocre. This experience made Qin Xiaoyu realize that if she didn't improve her makeup skills, her modeling team would also have ugly faces when they went on the runway, detracting from the fashion.

Cheng Fuyue then came to her rescue by bringing a close friend with her. This young woman was from Hebei and worked at Qian Beibei's shop.

Qin Xiaoyu had noticed this girl long ago and felt that she must be one of the most beautiful and elegant girls on the street.

"Boss Qin, let Song Miaomiao remove your makeup right here." Cheng Fuyue filled a basin with water, and Song Miaomiao cooperated, quickly washing her face.

Qin Xiaoyu almost screamed, "Wow!" This is that amazing person from Douyin back then, who can change his face with a little makeup and act out half of the entertainment industry all by himself?

Song Miaomiao's appearance isn't exactly beautiful; in fact, upon closer inspection, her features are somewhat unattractive. Her eyelids are double-lidded and fleshy, almost invisible if you're not careful. Her nose bridge is a bit low, and the tip is flat. Her lips are alright, if you don't consider her thick upper lip a flaw. The combination of her features already lowers her overall appearance, further compounded by her round, slightly overweight face.

He just washed his face like that, it felt like a magician making him appear out of nowhere. Everyone present was convinced.

Qin Xiaoyu pulled Hu Xing over to show her.

"Do her makeup to make this outfit suit her better," Qin Xiaoyu said, deliberately giving her a business suit to make things difficult. Hu Xing lacked the air of a white-collar worker.

Song Miaomiao calmly opened her makeup bag. Qin Xiaoyu glanced at it and saw that it was mostly foreign cosmetics that Cheng Fuyue had sent out last time, and the quality was quite good.

A master is a master; Song Miaomiao's technique was superb. In less than ten minutes, Hu Xing's entire face had been transformed.

Highlighting her cheekbones and applying contouring to her sides added a touch of sophistication to her face. Her naturally full lips were partially covered with powder, and she wore a dark matte lipstick, making her look even more mature and capable.

The most successful application was the eyeshadow. When she first applied the gold, Qin Xiaoyu was worried, but when she applied the green as well, a cool and aloof aura emanated from her. Finally, a touch of white brightened the look, and she looked like a powerful female white-collar worker.

"Xiao Song, come work at my shop." Qin Xiaoyu couldn't refuse this talented person.

“Great, we’re perfect to be together.” Cheng Fuyue brought her best friend along, precisely so they could work together.

“I’d like to come too, but you know our boss’s temper. If you piss her off, she’ll block your door and yell at you every day, 365 days a year, without repeating the same thing,” Song Miaomiao said, distressed.

Those who followed Qian Beibei certainly knew how formidable she was. Qin Xiaoyu believed it.

But this isn't Jiewei; this is a treasure we absolutely must seize.

The only one who can help with this is Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu is a seasoned veteran on this fashion street. She gets along well with everyone. In such a turbulent place, she can manage her interpersonal relationships to the extreme.

Qin Xiaoyu firmly believed that even if a group of aliens who couldn't speak her language came, Ye Qiu could still trick them into giving him all their valuables and making him change into silk pajamas.

"Your idea is really like trying to pull teeth from a tiger's mouth," Ye Qiu laughed heartily after hearing Qin Xiaoyu's purpose.

"I'm not afraid of having a tooth pulled from a dinosaur's mouth, because I have my sister Ye with me." Qin Xiaoyu stuck to her.

"Alright, go back and wait for my news." Ye Qiu agreed quite readily.

Less than half an hour after Qin Xiaoyu returned to the store, Ye Qiu and Qian Beibei walked in arm in arm.

"It's Sister Ye's birthday, so the three of us sisters are going out for a meal."

"Alright!" Qin Xiaoyu grabbed her bag and followed, Ye Qiu was about to get started.

Ye Qiu is a Pisces, Qin Xiaoyu asked her. Pisces and Scorpio are most compatible, so it's not surprising that they became friends. And Pisces people are gentle and don't know how to say no, so it's normal for them to be like a people-pleaser.

It's been months already, Pisces' birthday has long passed, they're practically a couch potato by now, so birthdays are just an excuse.

The three of them walked to a dessert shop on the street corner. Qian Beibei was very busy preparing, making it seem like she was going to treat them.

"Denim suits on sale! The boss jumped off a building! He's broken his leg! Hurry and grab them!" Huo Jinghong's loudspeaker started blaring again.

Qian Beibei was just excited, but suddenly she felt disheartened. She sat down, lit a thin cigarette, took a deep drag, and her eyes welled up with tears.

"Ignore him, he doesn't bite but he's annoying." Ye Qiu knew that she had touched on something sad, so he quickly advised her.

"Ha, I'm not even as good as a murderer. At least someone stood up for Su Ju." So that's what Qian Beibei was jealous of.
