When the time came, Xu Xiangjuan and Zhou Chengning separated and prepared to go back to the restaurant to work.
"Hello, can I take up a moment of your time?"
Xu Xiangjuan looked at the female student in front of her and thought: You are wasting my time now.
"What's the matter?"
Shan Nandie introduced herself: "My name is Shan Nandie. I would like to invite you to be a model for my cosmetics. Is that okay? I will definitely pay you."
Xu Xiangjuan was surprised: "You have your own cosmetics?"
This girl looks like a student, still childish.
Shan Nandie: "My cosmetics are not famous yet, but I think with you as a model, it will definitely become popular. Our cosmetics are called Erbie."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Second farewell?"
Shan Nandie: "Yes, the two on the money, especially the eight, should be removed from the hand."
Xu Xiangjuan: "What's the difference?"
She probably knew that Shan Nandie was talking about the number 1, 2, 3, and 4, but her explanation was difficult for most people to understand.
Second, if I remember correctly...
Shan Nandie: "Well, it's a different one. Can you consider it?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "You are still a student, right? Do you have the money to buy these?"
Shan Nandie: "I will have the money, don't worry, my family has money too. If I really have no other choice, I can ask my parents for it. Don't think I am lying to you just because I am a student."
Xu Xiangjuan knew the name Shan Nandie when she heard it, but when she heard the name Erbie, she knew it.
Erbie is a major domestic cosmetics brand that emerged in the 1990s and later enjoyed a very high status in the cosmetics industry.
You may not know or remember the founder’s name, but you definitely know the brand.
Erbie started out selling cosmetics, but later became a big brand, acquiring a number of companies and expanding its business scope to include skin care and clothing.
It is certain that Shan Nandie and Erbie are connected.
Xu Xiangjuan: "How old are you now? If you were in the cosmetics business, would you use your own cosmetics?"
Hearing the beautiful sister's question, Shan Nandie became nervous unconsciously, but still answered one by one: "I am a junior majoring in chemistry at Renda University this year, and I will graduate soon. Now I am making cosmetics with my classmates. Our cosmetics are very safe and not so toxic. You don't have to worry. I use them myself. I brought two lipsticks with me."
It’s not that vicious. It’s a pity that a little girl could say that.
When Xu Xiangjuan saw the lipstick, she didn't hold back on her words just because Shan Nandie was the future boss: "To be honest, I don't think it's that special. If it's simply not that toxic, this lipstick is not as good as the foreign lipsticks sold in department stores."
Shan Nandie said quickly: "It's very delicate. You see, compared with the department store, we still have some advantages. The color is also very beautiful, isn't it?"
The lipstick that Shan Nandie put on the back of her hand was bright red and looked very moisturizing. Xu Xiangjuan said, "This lipstick is only suitable for a small number of people. The color is too bright. Maybe you can find movie and television actors. You can find such people here in Huadu."
Now we have to talk about what is suitable, suitable for ourselves, and suitable for this era.
Her lipstick is so bright that it not only has to suit her skin tone, but also her makeup.
Furthermore, people are not so open-minded nowadays, and it is not realistic to go out with heavy makeup. Even in Huadu, too much makeup will give people an impression of being informal.
Not to mention this era, it will be the same 20 or 30 years from now.
At that time, actors were not as far away as they are now. Whether there was a TV at home or not, you could not recognize the actors when they passed by.
Shan Nandie: "I will find one, but can you promise me that you can be my model, right here in school, and use my cosmetics? If any classmates ask about you, just tell them, and we will provide you with cosmetics for free, for your whole life."
Teacher Zhou and his wife are now known to all students in Renda University. They are very famous, and the image of a beautiful sister is really suitable for them.
She didn't just stop the person randomly. His fame had already spread throughout the entire campus.
She wants to make cosmetics, not just to borrow someone else's fame.
Xu Xiangjuan didn't expect that she would have to contract for a lifetime, and it was a different one, not some unknown brand whose name she had never heard of: "What should I do? I probably won't come to school very often in the future. My husband needs to study, and I have my own work to do."
It should be agreed. Shan Nandie's eyes lit up: "You don't have to do anything else. We are just borrowing your name. When the time comes, we will say that the cosmetics you use are produced by us."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Didn't you say model before?"
When the word model was first introduced, people thought it was not serious and didn't like to use it. It's still not very popular now... She thought she would have to sit there in the department store and be put on makeup and watched by people, just like last time.
It turns out that I am just borrowing her name now.
Shan Nandie: "Of course you have to use our products first. We have lipstick, makeup powder, eye shadow cream, eyeliner, nail polish, and perfume. Are you free? I'll take you to our laboratory. We have a certificate of conformity."
Xu Xiangjuan didn't expect that there are only so many skin care products now. She has already given in. Now the two of them are in a cooperative relationship, so she might as well go to the so-called laboratory.
The laboratory is located in Renmin University. When Xu Xiangjuan entered, all she saw were bottles, jars and simple equipment.
Shan Nandie introduced various cosmetics to Xu Xiangjuan and said that this laboratory was rented by her. She came here more often, and the others would occasionally come to help and give suggestions.
Xu Xiangjuan thought that the others were probably the legendary think tank.
Erbie's founder, Dan Nandie, is a professional herself, and she also knows how to stop her and ask her to promote the company, making her the "image ambassador". With technical marketing, it is hard not to be popular in this era.
Shan Nandie: "You can give me some advice in the future. Although I make cosmetics, I'm obviously not as skilled as you in makeup."
"Well, okay, I'll give you some suggestions later."
Although she has never thought about having any connection with the cosmetics industry, if there is an opportunity, when Dan Nandie takes a piece of the pie, she can also get some benefits from it. When she makes money, won’t it be more profitable than running a restaurant?
It's really not smart not to grab the money when you have it.
...
Early December.
I have to say that making money from beautiful girls is not difficult in any era.
Only a few weeks had passed since Xu Xiangjuan visited Shan Nandie's laboratory when Shan Nandie came to her and told her that he had made his first profit and wanted to give her half of it.
Xu Xiangjuan didn't expect that it would actually be sold: "You can keep it for yourself. I don't need this little money now."
Shan Nandie sold a lipstick for 3 yuan a stick and came over to ask for a share of 1.5 yuan from her.
Shan Nandie stuffed a dollar and fifty cents into Xu Xiangjuan's pocket and said, "You have to take this money even if you don't need it. Otherwise, I will feel guilty. The 10% I mentioned before is still too little now. I will give Sister Juan 50% first."
All the advice Sister Juan gave her was useful. Although laboratory materials were scarce, she could still find them if she thought of a way. If she paid more attention when making cosmetics, the products would be more perfect.
As for the packaging, the original packaging boxes and jars were very simple glass or other boxes. After some suggestions, she asked her parents to design and produce the cosmetics packaging for her. The appearance is much more refined and she wants to buy it after seeing it.
After visiting the laboratory, the two of them left each other their addresses. Xu Xiangjuan would occasionally go to Renda University with light makeup or slightly bright but not gaudy makeup using other cosmetics, either to look for Aning or to hang out with Shan Nandie, to let everyone know that they really knew each other.
Xu Xiangjuan knows how to wear makeup that suits her and her dressing style is fashionable. Even in autumn and winter when skirts are no longer seen on the streets, she can still stand out in the crowd.
Xu Xiangjuan: "In this case, I will take it without hesitation."
She knew that Shan Nandie's initial investment was a thousand times more than what she earned. Indeed, not every industry can get something for nothing. There may not be a reward for the effort, but there must be effort in return.
Shan Nandie and Xu Xiangjuan walked around the campus, proving that she and Teacher Zhou's wife did know each other. Many girls also came to ask her how Mrs. Zhou put on makeup, but basically no one wanted to buy her cosmetics.
Shan Nandie: "Sister Juan, I might rent a department store to sell my wares. I'm well-known in school now, but people don't trust me that much. After all, I'm still a student. I might as well go to a department store and do real business."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Is the department store available for rent now? It's fine to rent it. After all, there are many students in the school, and not many of them are in good condition. The money is used for food."
Female students nowadays don’t have the time to put on makeup and dress up. Even if they do, they don’t have the money. They are already satisfied with having a piece of meat to eat. Why would they put on makeup?
Shan Nandie: "I should have chosen the department store earlier, but it's okay, I've already started anyway."
"It won't be that difficult after the beginning."
"By the way, Sister Juan, did Teacher Zhou tell you something about the Chinese Department?" After talking about cosmetics, Shan Nandie changed the subject and started gossiping.
Xu Xiangjuan: "What's the matter? He doesn't talk to me much about school."
Aning really didn't mention anything about school. When she got home she would study or help with housework and take care of the children.
Shan Nandie: "A lecturer in the Chinese Department was reported for accepting bribes from students, tolerating cheating in the final exam, and even assisting in cheating. The report was sent to the head of the Chinese Department, who hates cheating the most. If we find out that this is indeed the case, we will punish him severely."
Xu Xiangjuan: "What kind of severe punishment is this?"
Shan Nandie: "Sister Juan, I haven't finished yet, this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that it started with the first report letter, and then a bunch of reports came out.
This is the first time that Renda University has encountered so many letters of complaint reporting a teacher. It seems that the teacher is named Yan. So many students reported it, it is simply a cause of outrage.
I think this kind of person is a troublemaker in the teaching team. He even harassed female students, which is a crime of hooliganism. I am not very clear about the harassment of female students, but he tolerated students cheating and accepted bribes. Now the school has dismissed this teacher. "
Xu Xiangjuan: "This kind of teacher is obviously a snob. He will flatter whoever has money. Firing him is also a way to get rid of the evil."
"Yeah, snob, he should be very happy to be dismissed from the Chinese department."
Xu Xiangjuan didn't take this matter to heart. She just complained about it and that was it. After all, it had nothing to do with her Aning, so she didn't need to take it to heart.
Not only the students are happy, the teachers are happy too.
Office of the Chinese Department of Renda University.
"I don't know which student started the report, but without this toxic teacher, the office is finally quiet."
"Yes, it is indeed quiet. The director doesn't care who he is, and the principal's relatives won't give him face. This tolerance of cheating is really stepping on a minefield."
The head of the Chinese department will expel anyone who is caught cheating, and will never allow anyone to tarnish the reputation of the school or the Chinese department.
Even though he was watching so strictly, there were still students who cheated lavishly, and there were teachers who condoned and protected them.
Because of Teacher Yan, they have held countless meetings. Not only students need education, but teachers also need education.
"Teacher Yan was fired, and those students whose grades were seriously inconsistent were also expelled. Teacher Sun, there is another one who is your graduate this year, right?"
Sun Zhulu heard a teacher mention her: "Yes, he came to me to plead for mercy, but I really can't do anything. The director has made a decision and few people can shake him. If I go, maybe I will pack up and leave with Teacher Yan."
"Students nowadays are really bold. They dare to write letters of denunciation without fear of retaliation."
"It's hard to know who wrote the anonymous report, but the director is indeed very offensive. The most dangerous person is probably the director."
"This incident has become known to all the teachers and students in the school. It is a scandal for the Chinese Department. Teacher Yan has tarnished the reputation of the Chinese Department, and it was the dean who cleared it up."
Zhou Chengning listened silently without saying a word.
No one thought that he was the one who wrote the report letter.
But he did write the first letter of complaint.
If Teacher Yan can report him anonymously, he can naturally report back anonymously.
Love is his Achilles' heel.
He wrote the anonymous letter in a more sloppy handwriting, and he wrote it after a long period of silence, so long that Teacher Yan had forgotten to report him, but was still talking behind his back about how terrible he and his lover were.
Teacher Yan read the anonymous letter himself and could not recognize the handwriting. He came back to the office and cursed at the poor student who was stabbing him in the back.
As for the subsequent letters of complaint, they had nothing to do with Zhou Chengning.
The latter part is more detailed and can list the names of several students who are being cared for.
In short, it is easy to destroy a good person, and it is not that difficult to destroy a bad person with a long history of bad deeds.
...
"Come on, Dad."
"Mom, why do we need gas? Dad, do you want to cook?"
Today is a rest day and also the day for the postgraduate examination. The whole family accompanied dad to the examination room.
Curious baby Niu Niu couldn't help but feel puzzled when his mother asked him to cheer for his father.
Guagua: "Come on, Dad. You won't be hungry during the exam. Oil smells good. You need oil to stir-fry meat or vegetables. I also have an exam next month, so I need to cheer up then."
Guagua has half of his teeth grown out, and one has fallen out in the middle. He has gotten used to it and is no longer as devastated as he was at the beginning. He faces the fact of missing teeth calmly.
Niu Niu: "I know! Come on, Dad! I'm not hungry!"
Xu Xiangjuan had to explain to Aning: "Don't be nervous. If you can't do it this year, you can try again next year. It's okay if you're tired and don't want to take the exam. Life at home is good anyway."
"I'm not nervous, Juan, don't worry about me, Guagua Niu Niu, look, there are people with blue eyes over there."
When Guagua Niu Niu heard the word blue eyes, he looked over immediately and saw that there really was one!
Zhou Chengning took advantage of the two children's turning around to kiss his lover on the forehead: "Juan, I will definitely make it."
Xu Xiangjuan: "It's better to be more confident. Go into the examination room quickly. Guagua Niu Niu and I will be sitting nearby and wait for you to come out so that we can have lunch together as a family."
"Then I'll go in first."
"Come in."
"Goodbye, Dad!" The two children had been looking at the man with blue eyes, and when they noticed that their father was leaving, they quickly said goodbye.
When Dad entered the examination room, Gua Gua and Niu Niu asked Mom in a very quiet voice why people with blue eyes had eyes different from theirs.
It is really troublesome to explain foreigners to children. Xu Xiangjuan said: "They live in faraway places and come here. They all look the same as those who live here."
Niu Niu: "In the far distance, all the eyes are blue?"
"Yes, blue eyes."
The two children barely accepted what their mother said, and then were attracted by the scenery of the Kyoto University campus and asked their mother to go for a walk with them.
Zhou Chengning's postgraduate examination venue is at Peking University. Fortunately, it is not far away. After having breakfast at the restaurant in the morning, he can reach the venue in just a few steps.
Guessing that there would be a lot of customers today, most of them candidates, and she could make a lot of money, Xu Xiangjuan still closed the shop because her husband, the father of her children, was also a candidate today and the whole family had to accompany him to take the exam.
"Eat well at noon, don't ask too many questions, and don't bother dad, okay?" Xu Xiangjuan instructed after coming back from a walk with the two children.
Niu Niu: "I'm not bothered."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Niu Niu is the most annoying. Dad is in a bad mood after the exam. Niu Niu, don't mention anything else. Wait until Dad finishes the exam tomorrow before bothering him."
Guagua: "Exams are very important. Niu Niu, you will have an exam in the future. I will have an exam next month. When I take the exam next month, you must not bother me and ask dad to tell me stories at night. Otherwise, if I do poorly on the exam, it will be Niu Niu's fault."
How can a first-grade student do poorly on the exam? Xu Xiangjuan said: "Guagua, your exam is not as difficult as your father's. It doesn't matter if Niu Niu is annoyed by you. Besides, Niu Niu is not annoyed, right, Niu Niu."
"That's right!" Niu Niu didn't even remember that it was his mother who told him not to bother his father, saying that Niu Niu was the most annoying one.
"Hey, hello, this is Ms. Xu, right?"
"Yes, my last name is Xu. May I ask who you are?" Xu Xiangjuan was originally talking to Gua Gua Niu Niu when suddenly a woman came and greeted her. She really couldn't remember whether she knew this person.
The woman said, "I'm a lecturer at Renda University. My last name is Guo. I'm invigilating at Jingda University this afternoon. I'm here to patrol the school."
The special patrol team teacher patrols the teaching building. She is really just there to make up the numbers and patrol the school.
"Ren University, hello Ms. Guo, my husband is also from Ren University, he is a teaching assistant."
Lecturer Guo: "I know that you and your wife are very famous in school."
“I don’t know how I became famous.”
"I heard from a chemistry student in school that you bought your cosmetics from her?"
Xu Xiangjuan: "We use her products now. They have a complete range of products and are now open in department stores."
By the way, help promote it.
"Really? I thought that student was a liar."
Xu Xiangjuan: "Really? I didn't really trust it at first, but I decided to use it regularly after using it."
She tried the first batch of products herself. Although they had some shortcomings, they were no worse than the foreign products sold in department stores. She also recommended them to Guan Qian.
When Guan Qian heard her say that it was sold by a student, she was surprised, but she didn't think if there was any problem because it was recommended by her.
She also said it was good after using it herself and the price was very reasonable, so it was really worth it.
"Did you wear makeup today?"
"Yes, they have a lot of lipstick colors. Look at my lip color today. Are you a little confused?"
"Yes, I am a little confused. It feels very natural, but then look at the students passing by without makeup. Your lips are bright pink."
