Chapter 40: Underestimating People
"Qianqian, do you think Mu Lingfeng is looking down on me? He even asked me if I have a suitable dress. I have been working for so long, don't I even have the money to buy a dress?"
Sitting on the sofa in Yang Qianqian's house, Yun Jin told the other party everything that had happened before. After that, Yun Jin asked indignantly.
After breaking up with Mu Lingfeng, Yun Jin called Yang Qianqian and learned that she was on vacation at home. Yun Jin immediately ran to Yang Qianqian's house and told her what had happened during this period.
"Xiao Jin, I think you should accept Mu Lingfeng's advice and let him prepare the dress for you. After all, you are using your normal vacation time to accompany him to the party, so he should prepare the dress for you."
After listening to Yunjin's story, Yang Qianqian expressed her own opinion.
"But I don't want to take advantage of him. Besides, I already have a dress at home, so there's no need to waste money on it." Yun Jin disagreed with Yang Qianqian's words.
"You're not taking advantage of him. Think about it, given Mu Lingfeng's status, how could the people he knows be extraordinary people? For an occasion like that, wouldn't it be a bit unsatisfactory for you to wear the dress you have at home?"
Knowing the price of the dress at Yunjin's house, Yang Qianqian spoke up.
The dress Yunjin wore was bought for attending the branch company's annual meeting. At that time, Yang Qianqian accompanied her to buy it. Of course, Yang Qianqian knew the price clearly.
At that time, Yun Jin had just started working at the Huo branch when the annual meeting was held. In order to save money, Yun Jin picked the cheapest dress in the venue. You can imagine how the quality was.
Although it was only worn once at the annual meeting, Yun Jin took good care of the dress. But even so, given the price, it was obviously impossible to make the dress shine.
When Yun Jin heard Mu Lingfeng ask that question before, she rejected him outright in order not to take advantage of him. But after listening to Yang Qianqian's analysis, Yun Jin realized that her previous refusal was a bit too hasty.
But she has already refused. Do you want her to change her mind? Yun Jin would never do such a thing even if she is beaten to death.
But Yun Jin was reluctant to spend money to buy a suitable dress again. She was originally doing things to help Mu Lingfeng, so why should she pay for it herself?
"Qianqian, I..." For a moment, Yun Jin didn't know what to do. He could only stare at Yang Qianqian helplessly, his tone full of grievance.
"You're lucky. I happen to have a dress here. You can try it on. If it fits, you can wear it tomorrow." Looking at Yun Jin's helpless expression, Yang Qianqian said softly.
Hearing Yang Qianqian say this, Yun Jin excitedly opened the closet in Yang Qianqian's house and saw a dress hanging inside.
Yun Jin took the dress out of the closet, tried it on, and asked, "Qian Qian, where did you get this dress?"
Yun Jin knew that with Yang Qianqian's personality, she would not buy such a dress because she, like her, basically didn't need it.
Besides, this dress feels good to the touch and is definitely not cheap. Given Yang Qianqian's financial ability, she would never buy such an expensive but useless item to put at home.
"This was temporarily placed with me by a colleague of mine," Yang Qianqian responded.
Seeing Yang Qianqian's vague words, Yun Jin knew that she was not willing to tell the truth. At that moment, Yun Jin did not continue to question Yang Qianqian, but asked worriedly: "If your colleagues knew that I wore her dress, they would definitely be unhappy. Forget it, I can't wear this dress."
After saying that, Yun Jin was about to hang the dress back in the closet.
"If I say yes, then it's fine, Xiaojin. Don't worry about it. Wear this dress to the date tomorrow. Also, stay here with me tonight. I'll help you put on your makeup tomorrow. I'm going to impress everyone who attends the event."
Yang Qianqian reached out to stop Yun Jin's actions and offered her own suggestions.
At Yang Qianqian's strong request, Yun Jin finally put on the dress.
"It's true that clothes make the man. Xiaojin, you look completely different in this dress." Yang Qianqian sighed as she looked at the Yunjin in front of her who looked different from before because of the dress.
"What do you mean? Am I not beautiful without this dress?" Yun Jin deliberately joked after hearing Yang Qianqian say that.
"Of course not. What you mean is that you are already very beautiful, and after wearing this dress, you will be even more beautiful. When I help you put on makeup tomorrow, you will be even more beautiful than anyone else."
Yang Qianqian defended herself with a smile.
"It will be a good thing if we can complete the task smoothly tomorrow. No one can match our expectations. It is not as good as I dared to imagine." Yun Jin refuted Yang Qianqian's words.
Inheriting good genes from her parents, Yunjin has been very beautiful since she was a child, but she has never been complacent about her beauty. On the contrary, Yunjin deliberately hides her outstanding appearance everywhere.
Since junior high school, Yunjin cut her long hair short and wore clothes that were basically her mother's. Her parents' divorce made Yunjin mature precociously. Even at that time, she understood that she should not make herself the common enemy of all the girls in the class just because of her appearance.
Yunjin's low-key attitude brought her a smooth life in junior high school, high school and even college. Such a stable life allowed Yunjin to be low-key in her work and life after she started working.
Wearing such a beautiful dress and appearing in public was something Yunjin had never done before.
"Everything has a first time, Xiaojin, you can do it." As if seeing through what Yunjin was thinking, Yang Qianqian encouraged.
Looking at Yang Qianqian's determined gaze, Yun Jin nodded heavily. There is indeed a first time for everything, and she believed that she could do it.
As the two talked, night fell quickly.
After the night passed, daylight soon came.
In order to accommodate the time arranged by Mu Lingfeng, Yang Qianqian started to put makeup on Yun Jin at four o'clock in the afternoon.
"Qianqian, please make it a little lighter here." Yun Jin kept reminding her as she watched Yang Qianqian's hands working on her face.
Yun Jin usually doesn't wear makeup, and even if she does, it is usually light makeup. She had never thought of painting such bright colors on her face like today.
"Don't make any noise, just leave everything to me." Yang Qianqian was a little annoyed by Yun Jin's noise and couldn't help but scold him.
An hour and a half later, looking at herself in the mirror, Yun Jin couldn't believe what she saw in her eyes. Was this charming beauty in the mirror really her?
"I told you I won't let you down, but you still don't believe me." Seeing the surprise in Yun Jin's eyes, Yang Qianqian pretended to be displeased.
"Okay Qianqian, how could I not believe you? I'm just worried that my makeup will not look natural. You know, I..." Seeing that Yang Qianqian was angry, Yun Jin hurriedly defended herself.
"Okay, I was just kidding. How could I be mad at you? It's getting late. Your pick-up person will be here soon. Let me fix your hair."
Looking at Yunjin who was eager to explain, Yang Qianqian smiled and then started to help Yunjin with her hair.
Just as she finished, Yunjin heard the sound of a car horn outside the door. She opened the door and saw that it was Uncle Zhang waiting outside.
After saying goodbye to Yang Qianqian, Yun Jin opened the passenger door with a smile, but was stunned when he saw the person sitting in the back seat.
