"Okay, I'll tell you when I get home tonight!"
"good."
Chu Tang and Wen Xi were both action-oriented people, and they quickly reached a cooperation intention. They also set up a framework for how to proceed in several steps.
The cocktail party was coming to an end, and Wen Xi and Chu Tang said goodbye and went straight to the late-night snack stall.
Today's cocktail party was really a cocktail party. There were basically only drinks and the only snacks were egg tarts, and they were limited in quantity. The organizer was really stingy. She was so hungry that she felt dizzy and only came back to life after slurping a bowl of snail noodles.
Just as I was about to leave, I unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.
Ren Ying was also a little surprised to see Wen Xi. She didn't expect that they would meet at the night snack stall so late.
"Sister Ren, what are you doing?"
Seeing Ren Ying carrying a lot of makeup cases and clothes, Wen Xi helped her take some and put them on the table.
"I just got off work and suddenly remembered the stall you brought me to last time, so I came here." Ren Ying smiled at her.
"Have you received the notice?"
"Not yet. I've been working on online shopping during this period."
"Online shopping?"
"Well, I'm an e-commerce model, the kind that takes photos for clothing. I can't sit idle unless there are other opportunities, so I'm doing this for the time being. At least I have an income. My current job is enough to cover my daily expenses, and I can take care of my mother in my spare time." Ren Ying calmly recounted her current situation.
She doesn't feel ashamed of her current job at all because of her previous status as a movie queen.
If it were some other people, they would probably find it difficult to let go of their pride and feel ashamed, but there is no sign of any problem with her at all. Her calm and composed attitude is admirable.
"That's good. I can get money and I can be free."
Wen Xi was really happy for her.
Although the starting point is not high, it is at least a new beginning.
Since she terminated her contract and became free again, Ren Ying quit her job as a caregiver and started working on her own, starting all over again. In this circle where new talents emerge in large numbers and the pace of renewal is too fast, it is not easy for a former film queen to make a comeback.
She has no assistants, no agent, no team, and everything depends on her alone. She runs from one crew to another to negotiate collaborations and do makeup and styling. The hardships she goes through are probably something that only those involved can understand.
"Well, let's take it one step at a time. It's better to go slowly but steadily."
While the two were talking, the midnight snack was already served.
Ren Ying didn't rush to eat. She opened her makeup box, took out a long box from the bottom and handed it to Wen Xi.
"Xiaoxi, I heard you won the award. Congratulations. This is a gift."
"Thank you very much."
Wen Xi opened the box and found a brush inside.
There is no trademark and it doesn’t look very refined, but it has a rustic feel, and there are traces of hand-polishing on the pen body.
"Did you do this yourself?"
Ren Ying nodded shyly, a faint blush appearing on her face.
"I'm not good at handicrafts, so you can play with it."
"It's very good, I like it very much." Wen Xi put it away happily.
The two were eating and chatting when Ren Ying suddenly received a message and a look of joy instantly appeared on her face.
"What's wrong? Is there something good?"
"Well, it's a good thing. I auditioned last month and thought I had lost the role, but I was just notified to go for a second audition tomorrow. This crew is very strong and the script is also very good. If I can pass it, it will be a rare opportunity."
"Then do your best tomorrow."
"Yes, I will." Ren Ying nodded enthusiastically. Suddenly remembering something, she looked at Wen Xi and said, "By the way, Xiaoxi, can you teach me how to put on makeup for that variety show recording?"
