Chapter 74: Poor Technology
The next morning, Yu Huan got up ten minutes earlier, washed up, and sat in front of the dressing table. Looking at the plain face in the mirror, she took out the only lipstick she had and applied a layer on her lips.
The lipstick is a bit red in color, and it looks too abrupt on Yu Huan's fair face, weakening her other facial features. At first glance, her mouth is the most eye-catching.
A bit strange.
She looked in the mirror for a moment and came to the conclusion that her eyebrows were too light.
Normally she doesn't wear makeup, and the intensity of her facial features looks quite harmonious. But now that she puts on lipstick, her eyebrows appear lighter, which looks a bit strange.
She picked up the eyebrow pencil on the table and started drawing in front of the mirror.
This eyebrow pencil was bought at a cosmetics store during last year's annual meeting. After the makeup artist trimmed her eyebrows, he recommended an eyebrow pencil to her and told her to apply it according to the trimmed eyebrow shape.
I bought it in a daze at that time, but I never used it once. The eyebrows that I trimmed at that time had grown out long ago.
Yu Huan could only trace his eyebrow shape a few times, but he didn't control the strength well, and the strokes were too heavy, so the eyebrow turned out too thick.
She felt strange, wiped it off and started again.
I tried it several times but was still not satisfied, and time passed by with one revision after another.
"Yu Huan! Why haven't you gone out today?" Yu's mother pushed open the door and saw Yu Huan sitting in front of the dressing table. Her face suddenly darkened.
"What are you doing?"
Yu Huan's body stiffened subconsciously, and the hand holding the eyebrow pencil tightened.
However, she had anticipated this scene a long time ago and was prepared for it.
Taking a deep breath, she turned to look at Yu Ma, "The company requires all female employees to wear makeup to work. If you are caught without makeup, you will be fined."
Yu Ma frowned. "What kind of ridiculous rule is this! Is your company providing work for employees or what? And they have to wear makeup to work? I've never heard of such a ridiculous requirement!"
Yu Huan lowered her eyes. "I find this strange, too. I don't know how to put on makeup. But they said the company is going global and will have many foreign clients. Putting on makeup is a form of etiquette internationally. If you face clients without makeup, it'll be considered disrespectful. Especially since I'm in a position like this, following the general manager around every day, I have to put on makeup even more."
These words were all derived from the experience Meng Han taught her last time.
Her parents may not listen to or ignore her words, but they cannot ignore the company's requirements. After all, it concerns her job.
No matter what changes she wants to make, as long as she moves the company out, her parents will not stop her no matter how unhappy they are.
Sure enough, although Yu Ma's face was still very bad after hearing this, she did not scold Yu Huan anymore. She just glared at Yu Huan unhappily and said, "If you don't go out now, you will be late."
Yu Huan glanced at the time and found that it was indeed her usual time to go out.
Now she didn't care about how her eyebrows were done, she quickly picked up her bag and went out.
After arriving at Meng Han's house, everything was as usual. She matched Meng Han's clothes and went to the garage.
As soon as we arrived at the garage, Master He handed over his phone, "Secretary Yu, can you help me check my phone? I don't know where I pressed it, but it suddenly stopped working."
Yu Huan was also useless with mobile phones. He studied the phone for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
The two of them huddled together, groping around, and neither of them noticed that Meng Han had come down.
"What are you two doing?"
"Oh, my phone is silent. I asked Secretary Yu to help me check it." Master He explained while holding the phone.
Yu Huan looked up at Meng Han and grinned, "Mr. Meng."
She was a little nervous and a little excited. She had put on makeup today, and this was another big step for her.
Although I don’t know if he can see it, Master He seemed not to see it just now.
"Yeah." Meng Han responded as usual, his eyes swept over her...
He glanced back again, stared at her face for a moment before looking away and getting in the car.
Yu Huan didn't notice anything unusual about him. After he got in the car, he opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
After she finished reporting today's schedule to Meng Han, her cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was a message from Meng Han.
Meng Han: "Go sign up for a makeup training class, I'll reimburse the tuition."
Yu Huan stared at the message for a full minute before he understood what he meant.
He noticed that she was wearing makeup, but thought it made her look too ugly, so he asked her to get some proper training.
Yu Huan knew that her makeup skills were terrible, so she wasn't unhappy at all.
Suppressing the smugness in her heart, she replied to Meng Han, "Is this encouragement for me to make changes today?"
Meng Han: "No, since it is my instruction, I have the obligation to help you solve the problem."
Yu Huan could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
Yu Huan: "Then I can ask you for something twice."
Meng Han: "Well, remember it well. If you forget it, it won't count."
Yu Huan curled her lips. He would never go back on his word. He was just teasing her again.
Suddenly, I really wanted to see his expression. Was he as indifferent as ever, or was he secretly happy like her?
I glanced quietly at the rearview mirror and saw the person in the mirror looking down at his phone, so I couldn't see his expression.
Yu Huan withdrew his gaze and was about to reply to him when Master He suddenly spoke.
"Secretary Yu."
"Huh?" Yu Huan turned his head to look over.
Master He stopped the car at a green light and looked at her. "You...ah, Secretary Yu, are you wearing makeup today?"
Secretary Yu thought to himself that this man was old and his reactions were slow, and he only noticed it now.
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just my wife brought some local specialties from her hometown. But the specialties over there are quite spicy, so I wanted to ask if you can handle spicy food. If you can, I'll bring you some tomorrow."
"Thank you, Master He, but I can't handle spicy food."
"Okay, then I won't give it to you. I'll get you something less spicy next time." Master He said, then laughed again, "By the way, are you going on a date today? I've never seen you wear makeup except for the annual meeting."
Yu Huan chuckled and said, "I'm not on a date. I just want to become more capable."
Master He nodded. "That's true. After all, you're a secretary. It's not good to always act like a fresh graduate when you're with Mr. Meng."
He laughed again, "Haha, it's good that you're not going on a date. I was just about to say that if you were going on a date, you should go find a professional to do your makeup again."
Yu Huan: “…”
It's true that like boss, like subordinate. Even the way they look down on her poor technical skills is similar.
His eyes subconsciously looked towards the rearview mirror, and suddenly met the pair of pupils hidden under the lenses. Looking down, he saw the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
Yu Huan's mood improved again.
It’s okay if the technology is bad. If it was too good, we wouldn’t be able to see this scene!
