Back at Hangzhou University, Xu Xiu parked his car in the off-campus parking lot, paid a month's parking fee upfront, and didn't intend to park it on campus.
Before returning, I sent a message to my colleagues. When I arrived at the studio, I shared the milk tea I had bought with everyone.
Xu Xiu called Xiao Ruoyan and Wang Mengqi aside and asked, "Are you interested in creating a feature on how to dress and teaching others how to do makeup?"
"I don't know how to do makeup?"
Xiao Ruoyan whispered.
"You'll handle the outfit coordination, and Mengqi will teach you makeup. We'll create a new account together later."
Although Xiao Ruoyan doesn't buy many clothes, she enjoys studying clothing because she can't afford them herself, and she also has a talent for it.
If Xu Xiu teaches her how to do makeup, she should be able to learn quickly.
Wang Mengqi's makeup is different every day; she says she's loved studying this since she was a child.
What name should we choose?
Wang Mengqi glanced at Xu Xiu and felt that the name was very important.
"I've already thought of a name for you: 'Awakening from a Dream'."
"It's so tacky, I don't want it!"
Wang Mengqi immediately retorted.
"So what name do you want to choose?"
Wang Mengqi thought for a moment, "Let's call her Mengyan, who is as beautiful as a fairy."
Xu Xiu: "......"
"Alright, you can decide on the name yourselves."
After Xu Xiu left, Xiao Ruoyan whispered, "Mengqi, I think the meaning of 'awakening from a dream' is quite nice."
"After meeting us, the fans had an 'aha!' moment."
Wang Mengqi thought Xiao Ruoyan's words made some sense.
In the end, the two chose the name Xu Xiuxuan selected.
As for the clothes, Xu Xiu planned to have Xiao Ruoyan pick out some styles, which would then be put together at the studio and sold as a set.
When the time comes, we'll source the goods here and ship them out; you'll be the factory's first distributor.
I plan to talk to the school about recruiting some students from impoverished families to work during their spare time and weekends to earn some living expenses.
After making a plan, Xu Xiu spent the last two days wandering around the school leaders' offices, revealing all his plans and ideas.
The school also attaches great importance to and supports this, and even specially approved a venue of the same size next door for Xu Xiu.
This made other students with entrepreneurial projects extremely envious.
Bai Yushu regularly reports to Xu Xiu, providing not only written reports but also photos taken with his mobile phone, making the reports visually appealing.
For the next period of time, all the money-making projects went smoothly, whether it was within the school or with Bai Yushu.
However, I feel like there's been no progress in my love life. It's like the frog in the slowly boiling water is being slowly boiled, but it seems like the water hasn't even boiled yet.
After Xiao Ruoyan accepted the task given to her by Xu Xiu, she spent all her time studying fashion and attending classes, with Wang Mengqi, a big third wheel, constantly hovering around her.
Not giving him any chance at all was a huge headache for Xu Xiu; making money was much easier than this.
Xu Xiu felt that this couldn't go on. If Xiao Ruoyan was so busy, how could she have time to date him?
After pondering for a while, he seemed to have thought of something, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
The Great Snow solar term in December has truly proven the ancients right. These past few days, the wind has been biting cold, and the heavy snowfall has made the entire school seem frozen solid.
In the past two weeks, Xiao Ruoyan and Wang Mengqi's accounts have grown rapidly, and they have received many orders. The new venue is already full of goods, and several classmates are packing them up.
Wang Mengqi picked it up quickly, and her fashion sense improved rapidly as she learned from Xiao Ruoyan. Xu Xiu saw that the time was right and found an opportunity to call Xiao Ruoyan out alone.
Xiao Ruoyan wondered if she had done something wrong, which was why she was called out for a private talk.
Seeing Xiao Ruoyan's timid and hesitant expression, Xu Xiu felt helpless and whispered, "Xiao Ruoyan, I have something I'd like to ask you for help with?"
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Ruoyan wore a serious expression and was on high alert.
"I'm looking for a secretary, Xiao. Would you be interested?"
Upon hearing Xu Xiu's words, a scene flashed through Xiao Ruoyan's mind: Du Yuanyuan often told indescribable jokes in the dormitory.
For example, cosplay, such as a female secretary in black stockings, a nurse in white stockings...
His face instantly turned red, and his toes started to chatter. Xu Xiu was completely dumbfounded by Xiao Ruyan's reaction; he hadn't even realized what was happening himself.
The idiot in front has already misunderstood.
"Xu... Xiu, could you... not wear... black stockings?"
"Black stockings? What black stockings?"
Xu Xiu said in a serious tone, but in his heart he was cursing. There must be some dirty girls in Xiao Ruoyan's dormitory who have corrupted my little idiot.
No, I must treat her to a meal next time to thank her properly.
"We're proper secretaries here, what are you thinking?"
"Ah...oh, what does a proper secretary do?"
Xiao Ruoyan asked curiously.
“A proper secretary… ptooey ptooey ptooey… I’ve already confused you. What do you mean by proper or improper? She just helps me with some daily chores and runs errands.”
Xu Xiu explained.
"Oh, but I don't understand anything!"
"If you don't understand, you can learn!"
"But I'm afraid to talk to strangers!"
"Just communicate more. Nobody is born knowing everything. Everyone learns things later on."
"If you feel you can't do it or don't want to do it, then I'll find someone else."
Xu Xiu immediately employed a strategy of feigning indifference to lure Xu Xiu into a trap.
"Ah...no..."
Xiao Ruoyan asked nervously.
During this period, not only did Xu Xiu feel that he had no time to communicate with Xiao Ruoyan, but she herself was also very conflicted. She was busy every day and could not say a word to Xu Xiu all day long.
Every night I feel like something is stuck in my chest, and I can't sleep well. Today, when I heard Xu Xiu's suggestion, I was overjoyed, but I hesitated because I was afraid I wouldn't do it well.
But upon hearing that Xu Xiu wanted to find someone else, he subconsciously uttered those words.
"Okay, you're the one. Your salary during the probation period is 3,000 yuan per month, and your salary after that will depend on your performance."
"You still get paid?"
Xiao Ruoyan asked curiously.
"No, I'm not some pig skinning a fish, why would I ask you to do things for free?"
"Sure, you can."
Xu Xiu: "......"
When the two returned to the studio, Xu Xiu told everyone what had happened. Wang Mengqi frowned upon hearing this and looked at Xu Xiu, saying, "Old Xu, why do you need a secretary all of a sudden?"
"You're not trying to bully me, Ruoyan, under this pretext, are you?"
"Or do you have other feelings for her?"
"Ahem... Mengqi, what are you thinking about?"
"Since you asked, I'll tell you all. I've started a technology company, the site is almost finished with renovations, and it will be officially operational soon."
“I will have a lot of trivial matters to deal with then, but the work of a secretary is not very complicated at the beginning, which is just right for Xiao to get some experience.”
"Secretaries have to deal with outsiders a lot, which can make Xiao more confident."
Xu Xiuyi spoke sternly.
"Really, is that all there is to it?"
Wang Mengqi pressed for an answer.
"Mengqi, why don't you come?"
"No, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist flipping your table."
