Lu Xia ended up transmigrating into the body of a sent-down youth in the 1970s, replacing her older sister who was supposed to go to the countryside.
Thinking about how the original host was ...
.
However, when he saw her again, Lu Xia found that she seemed a lot more tired, but the light in her eyes remained unchanged, still bright.
"What's wrong with you? Are you tired lately?"
Ye Lin nodded, "Yeah, it's too tiring! I just realized now that my craftsmanship is so popular. Sister Lu Xia, you don't know that now even people getting married in North City come to me. Even if I have five hands, I can't handle it. But seeing the money slipping away from my hands, I feel so sad!"
Seeing her like this, Lu Xia smiled, "Don't you love makeup? Why do you like money again?"
Ye Lin heard this and said righteously: "Who doesn't like money? And I need money to buy makeup and cosmetics. All the money I had before has used up all my savings. Plus, my family now sees that I can finally make money and they don't stop me from putting on makeup. I treat it as a career, so of course I have to make money!"
After hearing what she said, Lu Xia looked up to her. She didn't expect that she had so many ideas.
In this case, she also put forward her own suggestions.
"If you think so, have you ever thought about making this a little more professional?"
"Hmm? What do you mean? Is Sister Lu Xia saying that I still need to study?"
...
...
Lu Xia shook her head. "No, that's all the cosmetics we have now. It's just like that even if you study more. I mean make the process more professional. Since you treat it as a career, then expand the scale."
Ye Lin seemed to understand a little bit, "You mean, I should take in a few more apprentices and let them do it separately?"
Lu Xia nodded, then shook her head. "If you accept apprentices in your own name, it's not so formal now. I think since you have decided to make this your career, have you ever thought about opening a formal store?"
"Open a shop?" Ye Lin frowned after hearing this. "Isn't it necessary? I'm just a makeup artist. I always do door-to-door makeup. A bride won't go to a shop for makeup, right?"
Lu Xia shook her head. Seeing that she still didn't understand, she continued to explain: "I mean, if you want to stay in this industry for a long time, you have to make the process more professional, otherwise it will be easy to be imitated. Just like you putting on makeup now, it's actually not difficult. People with dexterity can learn it by watching a few times. When others learn it, your advantage will be gone."
Ye Lin understood this time. She thought about how many people in the family compound had improved their makeup skills recently, and they all learned from her, which gave her a sense of urgency.
If everyone else has learned it, then won't she ever get any work again?
Thinking of her busy and fulfilling life during this period, she became a little worried and asked hurriedly: "Sister Lu Xia, what do you think I should do?"
Seeing her like this, Lu Xia smiled and said, "So I say, you should go professional, open a store first, and make yourself more formal."
“But will it become professional if I open a shop?”
Seeing that she hadn't figured it out yet, Lu Xia gave an example, "Tell me, if you were to go out to eat, which would you think would be better and more prestigious, a roadside stall or a restaurant?"
"Of course it's the restaurant!" Ye Lin said without hesitation.
"That's it. It's just like makeup. When people hear that you run a makeup shop, they will definitely think that you are legitimate and have good skills. Besides, marriage is a big event, and most people are willing to spend money."
Ye Lin's eyes lit up when she heard this. "Yeah, if it were me, I would think so too. But, wouldn't it be a waste to open a store just for this name? I'm afraid that by then I won't even be able to earn back the rent!"
