"Oh... thank... thank you."
"You're welcome. Anyway, it's free, so I won't spend any money. By the way, do you like this hairstyle?"
"Ah...it's alright, but I just can't straighten the curls at the bottom of my hair."
Xu Xiu: "......"
Xu Xiu helped check it and found that it was really well cut; there's definitely a reason why it's expensive.
After the two went downstairs, everyone in the shop was stunned when they saw Xiao Ruyan's haircut. No one could believe it was the same person.
If it weren't for the fact that his clothes hadn't changed, they wouldn't have recognized him at all.
After leaving the hair salon, we went straight to an affordable and stylish women's clothing store and picked out a few everyday summer clothes for Xiao Ruoyan, such as short-sleeved shirts and jeans.
Watching Xiao Ruoyan keep trying on clothes, Xu Xiu swallowed countless times, his mouth already parched.
Luckily, the store had water. The salesperson was stunned. No matter what clothes she wore, she looked stunning. She was simply a natural clothes hanger.
Coupled with that captivating face, she's practically flawless.
After selecting the clothes, we were going to have her change into them, but Xiao Ruoyan secretly glanced at the price tag while changing.
The price of this t-shirt is enough for her to eat for a month.
They absolutely refused to buy it.
Xu Xiu said it was a benefit provided by the factory, and all employees who worked there received it.
Moreover, Xu Xiu said very seriously that if Xiao Ruoyan's worn-out clothes offended customers and caused them to lose orders, it would be a serious matter.
But you'll have to pay compensation.
Startled by Xu Xiu's words, Xiao Ruoyan had no choice but to obediently change her clothes.
After getting their hair done and buying clothes, the two walked towards the mall entrance. The more sleazy Xu Xiu had been when he came in, the more upright he walked now.
He practically walked with an air of utter disregard for family and friends; boys really are all obsessed with saving face.
Their temporary office was a guest room in Xu Xiu's house, which had been prepared for use as an office.
Xu Tinglong and Fang Xueting didn't pay much attention when Xu Xiu said he wanted to help the factory expand its online channels.
Let him have some fun before he goes to university after the college entrance exam. It's only about two months. They don't believe their son can pull off anything.
The moment Xiao Ruoyan walked into the guest room, Wang Mengqi and Ning Bufan were completely stunned. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought that Xu Xiu had taken Xiao Ruoyan to South Korea for plastic surgery.
Wang Mengqi immediately stood up and ran to Xiao Ruoyan, circling around her, thinking jealously, "That face, that hair, that figure, that..."
Without comparison, there is no harm. She is better than me in every way. Actually, Wang Mengqi is also very good-looking. It's just that she met someone better.
Ning Bufan walked up to Xu Xiu and whispered, "Old Xu, no wonder you wanted to bury me last time I said I had feelings for someone."
"As expected, your judgment is always excellent."
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xu Xiu prepared to take them to the factory to check out the styles. The four of them followed Fang Xueting to the factory. It was the off-season, but the factory had already started producing winter clothes.
Xu Xiu followed his mother to the showroom and found that many of the styles were quite good, but they lacked exposure and traffic.
The four of them had a clear division of labor and began to select sample clothes according to their own tastes and preferences. Just as Xu Xiu was about to select clothes, Fang Xueting pulled him aside.
"Who's that pretty girl my son is talking about?"
"Mom, you really don't recognize him?"
Xu Xiu asked tentatively.
"She seems familiar, but I don't recall any girls this pretty in your class besides Qianxue, right?"
Fang Xueting confirmed.
"Mom, this is my deskmate Xiao Ruoyan. Today I took her to get her hair done and bought her some clothes. From now on, she will be our factory's official model."
Fang Xueting stared at Xu Xiu with her mouth slightly open and an incredulous expression.
The exhibition hall had hundreds of sample garments from all seasons. It was the first time Xiao Ruoyan had seen so many beautiful clothes, and she felt like she couldn't take it all in.
What girl doesn't love beauty? Even if she's naive and clueless, it's her nature to be unable to resist it.
Over the past few months, Xiao Ruoyan and Xu Xiu have gradually adapted to their new way of getting along. Xu Xiu no longer scolds her or complains about her stutter.
But he became very strict with her, controlling everything she did without question.
She didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but it seemed good at the moment, so she had to do her best to complete the tasks arranged by Xu Xiu.
In the past, I would be incredibly nervous even just walking together with Xu Xiu, let alone going to get a haircut or buy clothes.
After everyone had chosen their clothes, Xu Xiu glanced at them and was surprised to find that Xiao Ruoyan's outfit was quite good, and Wang Mengqi's was also nice.
Ning Bufan's choice of men's clothes was absolutely appalling. It seems that straight-laced science and engineering guys should just stick to writing programs.
The post-production work was all left to Ning Bufan, and after everyone had chosen their clothes, they immediately set off to return home.
Xu Xiu took out his DSLR camera and prepared to take photos of Xiao Ruoyan and Wang Mengqi, intending to take a few test shots first to see how they felt and their camera presence.
In his previous life, Xu Xiu's greatest hobby was photography, so he was incredibly skilled at using DSLRs, and could easily handle composition and post-processing adjustments.
I took a few test shots in the living room and yard. Wang Mengqi has a good sense of the camera, but she couldn't capture that amazing feeling.
Xiao Ruoyan has absolutely no sense of the camera, and she doesn't even dare to look at it. But even so, a few casual photos of her from behind and in the side can easily outshine all sorts of beautiful pictures of women online.
A sense of camera presence can't be taught, and Xiao Ruoyan has always been rather insecure, so it's probably unrealistic to expect her to pose in front of the camera.
In fact, Liu Qianxue is the best choice. She is suitable in all aspects. She is a well-bred young lady who has seen a lot since childhood and has a strong sense of the camera. She has seen all kinds of competitions and performances since she was a child.
Not to mention taking a few model photos, shooting short videos of real people is no problem.
Looking at Xu Xiu's expression, Xiao Ruoyan knew she hadn't done a good job. She thought to herself that Xu Xiu had taken her to get her hair done and buy her clothes, but she couldn't even take a good picture.
Wang Mengqi looked at the photos Xu Xiu had taken and felt that she wasn't very photogenic, and that Xiao Ruoyan was more suitable. But she could also tell that...
Xiao Ruoyan's pose in the photo is stiff, her face is expressionless, and she looks very nervous, but even so, she still looks beautiful, much better than my own photos.
Xu Xiu glanced at everyone and said that's enough for today. Everyone has been busy all day, so go back and rest early. We'll discuss the next steps tomorrow.
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi went home first, while Xu Xiu prepared to take Xiao Ruoyan to school.
The family driver took the two of them to school. Xiao Ruoyan remained silent the whole way, her head down, seemingly lost in thought.
Xu Xiu knew what the simpleton was thinking at a glance, and casually said while looking out the window, "Someone was very nervous taking pictures today."
"The photos turned out really well, much better than my first time taking pictures."
"I really don't know why someone is so amazing; every move they make is so beautiful."
Hearing these words with her head down, Xiao Ruoyan suddenly felt like crying for some reason, and tears flowed down her face involuntarily.
